On the way back, although Song Yiting did not ask who the destitute old man was, Yuan Fangguo still took the initiative to tell her the story of his entrepreneurial period in college.
When Song Yiting learned that the old man who looked like a beggar actually had his own shop and warehouse in the wholesale market at the railway station, she was also shocked.
"I have been so miserable in the past few years. It's really unpredictable." She couldn't help but sigh.
"Sometimes a seemingly small decision-making error will have far-reaching consequences," said Yuan Fangguo.
Song Yiting couldn't deny his judgment. "Right. So even though you may seem so glorious sometimes, in reality, only you know the hardships and pain you've endured."
Yuan Fangguo did not reveal his girlfriend's feelings too much, nor did he express his own opinion, but just smiled slightly.
…
The next afternoon, Yuan Fangguo took time out of his busy schedule to accompany his girlfriend to her grandmother's house.
After seeing the photo of her daughter and granddaughter, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Tingting, look at how much fat your mother has gained."
"She said the food there is good and the pressure is not that great." Song Yiting said with a smile.
"It's also good to go to the border to serve the ethnic minorities there. We revolutionaries are like bricks, we can be moved wherever we are needed. Your grandfather was like this back then. Not long after I gave birth to your mother, he went back to the army..." Although Song Yiting's grandmother is nearly eighty years old and her physical condition is not very good, her mind is as clear as that of a young person. She tells stories from the past in a leisurely and clear manner.
As Song Yiting and Yuan Fangguo listened, they both felt very uncomfortable.
When the old man saw their expressions, he even thought they were moved, and his eyebrows were beaming with joy.
The two stayed at Song Yiting's grandmother's house until after eight o'clock in the evening before saying goodbye. When leaving, Yuan Fangguo gave his grandmother another five thousand yuan.
"The last supply hasn't been used up yet." The old man was also determined not to want it.
"Last time was for the last time, this time is for this time. Grandma, you take it." Song Yiting said with a smile, "Mom just likes you to be happy."
When the old lady heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She held her granddaughter's hand tightly and didn't want to let go.
After pouring out his heart for a while, the old man finally let go of his granddaughter's hand with a look of reluctance.
On the way back, Song Yiting's mood became heavy again. She was alone and sad for a long time. She said, "Honey, I'm really worried that if the truth comes out one day, my grandma will definitely not be able to accept it. What do you think I should do then?"
"Who usually visits your grandma nowadays?" Yuan Fangguo knew that Song Yiting's grandma only had two children, and both children were in prison now. Her uncle's wife also divorced him because of this.
"Usually it's just me and my dad." Song Yiting said after thinking for a while.
"Uncle is still going to visit?" Yuan Fangguo found it a little unbelievable.
"Well, he will go. My grandma also knows about their divorce, but she likes my dad as a son-in-law very much. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she likes him."
Suddenly, Yuan Fangguo thought of his ex-girlfriend Lin Yumei's mother because of Song Yiting's words. If Wang Aifang also liked him more and more, maybe he and Lin Yumei would get married.
Now that the two have broken up, they have no contact. Because Song Yiting broke into his life, he almost forgot about Lin Yumei. Now that Song Yiting said this, he suddenly had some reminiscences of the past.
Song Yiting felt a little strange. After she finished speaking, her boyfriend suddenly fell into deep thought. Could it be that he was worried that his mother was too strong and would have all kinds of opinions about him?
"Honey, actually my mother likes you too." Song Yiting suddenly said.
Yuan Fangguo was stunned and said "Oh" softly.
"Do you think it's impossible?" Seeing her boyfriend's strange expression, she quickly added.
"No, I think your mother is a good person." Yuan Fangguo said quickly.
Hearing her boyfriend's good evaluation of her mother, Song Yiting couldn't help but laugh.
…
Song Yiting took a total of ten days off, including the travel time. Three days have passed now. Excluding the day of return, she has about six days left. She plans to visit her father another day, and spend the rest of the time at home with her boyfriend. After all, they are both busy with work on weekdays and it is difficult for them to spend time together.
Yuan Fangguo also tried his best to make time to accompany his girlfriend. He knew that after his girlfriend left this time, it would take at least a month for her to come back.
I work during the day, drive home for lunch at noon, and get off work at 4:30 in the afternoon. I go for a stroll in the suburbs with my girlfriend, go to the vegetable market, or take a walk in a nearby park. My life is quite comfortable.
What surprised Yuan Fangguo was that Wang Ping did not come to see him during these few short days. This made him have an illusion that Wang Ping really wanted to be friends with him?
After his girlfriend left and Yuan Fangguo calmed down, he finally rejected his childish idea.
Ten days later, Li Guodong told him that Wang Ping was indeed the second-generation figure who got something for nothing, and any boss who had cooperated with him would be skinned alive.
After listening to Li Guodong's words on the phone, Yuan Fangguo felt a cold sweat on his back. Just from the fact that Wang Ping's men could easily find out all his information, he could feel that this person was definitely not simple.
Originally, Yuan Fangguo was planning to transfer Tong Mingzhu back from the northern market to assist him, but after thinking about it, if Wang Ping really had some tricks up his sleeve, not only would he suffer, but Tong Mingzhu would also be implicated. So, he decided not to transfer Tong Mingzhu back for the time being and let her concentrate on developing the northern market.
However, since Wang Ping's true nature was already known to him, Yuan Fangguo felt that he could not sit idly by. On the one hand, he had to protect himself as much as possible in all aspects, and on the other hand, he had to conduct a thorough investigation of Wang Ping.
After careful consideration, a suitable candidate soon emerged.
