Chapter 47 Is fate truly unchangeable?
"What did you say?" Lu Mingzheng's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Jiang Ruzhen's words.
"Anyway, you're a rich young master, so it's no big deal for you to play with one more woman, right?"
Zhang Meili is quite pretty and charming, so just take her in, and when you're done with her, just give her some money to get rid of her.
Since she had already spoken, Jiang Ruzhen simply said what was on her mind.
The car was deathly silent.
Jiang Ruzhen only heard the sound of Lu Mingzheng's chest heaving rapidly, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lu Mingzheng.
Lu Mingzheng's face was terribly gloomy, his eyes were somewhat bloodshot, and he stared intently at Jiang Ruzhen without saying a word.
Jiang Ruzhen didn't know what was wrong with him again. She thought her suggestion was great. Aren't all the rich young masters promiscuous and just playing around?
At worst, I'll just lose a little money. It's a mutually agreeable thing, so what difference does it make who I play?
"get off."
"What's wrong?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of the car."
"Get off the bus like that? Are you crazy?"
After Jiang Ruzhen got out of the car, she slammed the door shut, and Lu Mingzheng drove off, leaving her covered in dust.
Jiang Ruzhen angrily wiped her face. What kind of person was he? She knew he was a lecherous man the first time they met.
Otherwise, why would you stare at her chest?
When they met again, he would always try to take advantage of her, but she always managed to evade him thanks to her quick wit.
Why pretend to be a chaste and virtuous husband in front of her now?
If you don't want to help, fine, she can handle it herself.
Jiang Ruzhen hailed a taxi and drove straight to Lizicun. She quickly gathered information about the village, especially the local thugs.
For the sake of her eldest son's future happiness, she didn't hesitate to resort to some insidious means.
When she got home in the evening, her children chattered excitedly, reporting on her earnings for the day.
The eldest, Xin Xin, and the fourth brother were still inexperienced and only earned a little over five hundred yuan.
The second son, on the other hand, sold over a thousand yuan worth of clothes all by himself, and Jiang Ruzhen directly took out one hundred yuan from it and gave it to him.
"My second child is amazing. I always thought you were a born sales genius, and you really made me proud."
The second son, dazed by Jiang Ruzhen's constant praise, accepted the money—one hundred yuan, enough for seven or eight months' salary in the past.
Jiang Ruzhen gave Lao Si and Xin Xin fifty yuan each, saying, "Take this. This is what you deserve. From now on, you will both receive a 10% commission on sales."
Xin Xin smiled obediently with her lips pursed. The fourth brother happily took the money and then did several somersaults on the ground.
"Hahaha... I'm someone who can make a lot of money now."
The children excitedly took the money back into the house, planning what they wanted to buy.
Only the eldest brother sat forlornly at the table, head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"Big brother, you also get a commission, but for now, I'll keep it with Mom. I'll save it for you to use when you get married."
Upon hearing Jiang Ruzhen's words, Shen Zhuoli hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, Mom. All the money we made today is thanks to my younger siblings."
I'm not good at talking; I just help collect money and maintain order. I don't need to get a commission.
"You are all my children, and I will not favor one over the other. I will find a matchmaker to arrange a blind date for you tomorrow."
"Once your wife marries into the family, Mom will give all the money to her to manage."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhuoli knew that his mother was subtly reminding him to keep his distance from Zhang Meili.
"I understand, Mom. I'm going back to my room."
Seeing her eldest son return to the house dejectedly, Jiang Ruzhen also felt uneasy.
She wasn't in a hurry to find a husband for her eldest son. She planned to wait until a month later, after they moved to the city and opened a clothing store, before looking for a wife for him.
But now it seems we need to act sooner rather than later.
The next day, Jiang Ruzhen went to inquire all over the city's streets and communities, and finally found a matchmaker with a good reputation. She told him about her eldest son's situation, and the matchmaker patted his chest and immediately introduced her to a girl.
Two matchmaking events were arranged for Shen Zhuoli in just one morning, but he showed little interest in either one.
Jiang Ruzhen was really angry when she saw this, so she went directly to the warehouse in the afternoon and told the children that the whole family would be leaving for Jishi tomorrow to pick up their maternal grandparents and uncles and bring them back to the city.
Everyone was told to get ready, and the children all agreed, but the eldest was a little hesitant.
"Mom, I haven't been to the brigade headquarters to learn accounting from my master for several days. Since you have so many people here and don't need me, I'll go to work instead."
“No, our whole family must go to see your maternal grandma, maternal grandpa and uncle together. You should wear your best clothes and let them see that I have taken good care of you. Don’t let them worry.”
The eldest brother had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After arranging things at the warehouse, Jiang Ruzhen thought about the money she had made from selling clothes over the past few days, and went back to the village to find Xiao Changgeng.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changgeng frowned and advised against it, saying that he wanted to buy more land for housing and barren mountains.
"Young lady, it's understandable to buy some houses and land if you have a little money. But aren't you buying too much? You only have three sons, why do you need to buy so many houses and land? Besides, barren mountains aren't worth much!"
Jiang Ruzhen looked around and saw that there was no one else in the brigade headquarters before leaning closer to Xiao Chang and whispering.
"Captain, to be honest, I've heard some inside information that our area is about to be relocated to make way for a port."
"Really?" Xiao Chang was incredulous. How did Jiang Ruzhen know about this news that even he, the captain, hadn't received?
“Really, there will be some progress in a month, and it could triple.” Jiang Ruzhen knew that the captain was an upright and kind person, and they could get along well. If they moved to the city together in the future, they could take care of each other.
Xiao Changgeng was still skeptical, but he went through the formalities for Jiang Ruzhen. He saw that she was determined to buy two more barren mountains and five house plots, taking out three thousand five hundred yuan as if it were nothing.
He also felt that this matter must be true.
After finishing this matter, Jiang Ruzhen specifically instructed Xiao Chang not to go out, so as not to be targeted by others.
Xiao Changgeng quickly agreed. After Jiang Ruzhen left, he lost interest in going to work and went home to discuss it with his wife.
After Jiang Ruzhen finished arranging things, she got up the next day and had breakfast, only to find that all the children were home except for the eldest.
Where is your eldest brother?
Shen Shuxin was serving everyone porridge when she quickly replied, "Big Brother said that Master Xu had something urgent to discuss with him today. He got up and left before dawn, and told us to wait for him at the train station."
Jiang Ruzhen didn't pay much attention. After everyone finished eating, they packed up and set off. When they arrived at the train station, they waited and waited, but the boss didn't come.
The train has already started checking tickets, but the boss still hasn't arrived.
Jiang Ruzhen is angry. It seems that the eldest brother really doesn't want to go with them. Then let's just ignore him and let him do whatever he wants.
Jiang Ruzhen led the children to line up for ticket inspection when a person rushed in from the entrance of the train station and headed straight for her.
"Aunt Jiang, something bad has happened! Your eldest son went out to sea to fish with the Wang family this morning."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruzhen immediately felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
It's over, it's over!
Is fate truly unchangeable?
