Deng Min made a lot of money running a pastry business in Shili Village, and her family's living conditions have improved a long time ago. However, she and Bai Shihai still have to work a full day every day, which is still very hard.
However, Yang Changping arranged for them to work at a shipyard in town. The two worked in the same factory; Bai Shihai worked in the workshop, while Deng Min worked in the personnel department.
Moreover, after moving to the town, Bai Manzhi transferred to a school there. The elementary school in the town was completely different from the one in the village, and they dared to spend the money they wouldn't have dared to spend in the village.
Yang Changping said, "No need to thank me. You should thank the country for giving you this opportunity. Just work hard and live a good life."
Because Shili Village is too far away, his reach is too long. Arranging these two jobs is already the best he can do. If Bai Shihai were to go to Yancheng like Bai Shiqing, he could arrange far more than these.
Although Yang Changping's identity was registered, his trip was kept secret, so no car was arranged for him here.
They took a bus from the county town to Shili Village. Yang Changping thought he was easygoing, but the journey almost broke his bones.
The dirt roads in the county town were not repaired in time. They were full of potholes and twisted and turned. If there had been just one less bend, Minister Yang would not have vomited directly on the license plate of the car in Hushan Town when he got out of the car.
Du Ying patted his back: "Your body is really not good anymore, how come you're vomiting like this?"
Yang Changping rinsed his mouth, straightened up while holding onto the bus stop sign, and said, "I'm getting old, I'm getting old."
He thought to himself that it was fortunate Yang Fenglin hadn't come over, otherwise he would have said something outrageous to him.
Bai Shihai said, "We've booked a private room at the restaurant. My dad and Aunt Guan are both there. Let's go have dinner first."
The group walked to the restaurant entrance, and Yang Changping breathed in the fresh air the whole way before he could suppress the restlessness in his heart.
The Guan family has three boys and two girls, with Guan Xinyan being the eldest.
After everyone entered the private room, the children all stood up, lined up from tallest to shortest, and greeted everyone one by one.
Yang Changping and Bai Zhiman shook hands. Bai Zhiman had a lot of questions about that matter, but since the Guan family was here, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
The entire meal revolved around Bai Jiaojiao's newborn son and Bai Shibao's wedding. After everyone finalized the arrangements, the meal gradually came to an end.
Three days before the wedding, the bride and groom stopped seeing each other. The Guan family returned to the county, and the Bai family did not stay in the town but returned to Shili Village to rest.
This is also what Yang Changping wanted; he really wanted to see what the village where his sister used to live was like.
Since there was nowhere for Bai Zhiman to sleep at his house, Yang Changping arranged to go to Bai Jiaojiao's house that night.
After returning to the village, Bai Shiqing first took the child and went back to the Li family home with Li Shuxian.
The rest of them were talking on the kang (heated brick bed) in the Bai family's house.
From the moment Bai Zhiman first saw Yang Changping, he hesitated to speak. When they arrived home, Yang Changping said, "I know what you want to ask me. The letter you gave us was very helpful, but things are a bit complicated. I need to be fully prepared before I can take action."
"Can you tell me who it is? Is it someone I know?"
Bai Zhiman was instantly excited when he learned that Yang Changping had found out who it was, as if he was about to stand up from his wheelchair.
Yang Changping said, "It's Qi Yu. You mentioned her many times in your letters. Didn't she show any signs of anything at that time?"
“Qi Yu…” Bai Zhiman’s thoughts returned to those years ago, “She was often with Xiao An, and Xiao An would often mention her to me. They must have had a good relationship.”
It was obvious that Qi Yu had fooled everyone.
After these days of investigation, when he heard Bai Zhiman say that the two had a good relationship, Yang Changping felt extremely ironic.
What Yang Changping found even more unbelievable was that the person Qi Yu liked back then, or rather, the person she still loves now, is his third younger brother, and they were already engaged back then.
Qi Yu is still unmarried, which shows that her feelings are genuine. It is because of this that Yang Changping has never suspected Qi Yu before.
"Now we can almost be sure it's her, but her identity is a bit complicated. If we want to take action against her, I still need to plan ahead."
Although the Yang family is powerful and influential, they cannot control everything in a place like Yancheng. Unlike the Yang family, which has few descendants, the Qi family has a large number of members. Currently, with Qi Zhong as the center, they can spread out a huge network of relationships in Yancheng.
The situation is somewhat tricky, so Yang Changping has not made any hasty moves yet.
To deal with such a powerful family, he had to strike decisively and leave them with no chance to retaliate.
Qi Yu's memory of Bai Zhiman was somewhat vague. He carefully recalled the person: "She did seem to be a bit eccentric. I didn't have much contact with her, so I can't quite put my finger on it."
Du Ying was also holding a grudge about this. When she heard Bai Zhiman say this, she replied, "She is indeed not quite normal. Maybe she is just jealous because she sees her aunt being favored at home."
They had no way of knowing why Qi Yu did such a thing back then; only Qi Yu knew.
Bai Jiaojiao listened quietly to the side, thinking to herself that perhaps Qi Yu was not truly devoted to one another, but was just the kind of obsessive person Bai Zhiman described.
The next day, Bai Jiaojiao repeated everyone's words to Bai Shiqing, who snorted coldly, "I knew it was her. Hey, isn't Feng Lin quite familiar with that kid from the Qi family? Let him try to get some information out of him. I'd like to know how Qi Yu could do such a thing."
“The two of them have played together since they were little. I think the uncle probably doesn’t want Fenglin to know, and even more so, he doesn’t want him to get involved.”
Judging from the way Yang Fenglin saw her off at the station yesterday, Bai Jiaojiao didn't seem to know about this.
But this matter will eventually come to light, and it's unknown whether the two friends will develop a grudge because of it, or whether the three generations of friendship between the Yang and Qi families will be severed.
But in any case, the Yang family was definitely not the instigator.
Bai Shiqing said, "Then let's not worry about it. There's no use in us worrying about this. You should write it down quickly and in detail."
Bai Jiaojiao, the most educated person in the family, is writing up a guest list for Bai Shibao's wedding the day after tomorrow.
At the banquet, people sit according to their names. Everyone is listed at which table and even in which position, clearly indicating their relationship to the host.
Although they weren't close to other relatives, they still had to invite them to their wedding. And now that their family was doing well, all those relatives had agreed to come. Bai Jiaojiao's hand was about to break from writing so much, and she had to concentrate fully because she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Bai Shiqing was there filling red envelopes with wedding candy, and the two of them were busy helping Bai Shibao.
