Chapter 75
Xiao Li was caught for the same reason as the gang of thieves: he had no money to compensate.
Xiao Shi and Xiao Meng wanted to rush into the interrogation room and give this guy a good beating.
"Damn, a gambler has the nerve to ask us to share his fortune?"
"Without Brother Feng, how could he have made such a fortune? He can't keep the money, but he blames the heaven and the earth!"
When Xiao Li in the interrogation room heard this, he buried his head in his arms and started crying.
He knows that he is the root of everything.
It is because I know it too well that I dare not face it.
The police gave him some advice, and Jian Feng was in a good mood. After he finished his statement, he left holding Wang Mengmei's hand.
The couple walked on the road, and they breathed a sigh of relief tacitly, then were startled and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"What are you laughing at?"
Wang Mengmei kicked the stones under her feet and said, "I don't know why, but I'm not in such a bad mood now."
Jian Feng: “Me too.”
It's better to have a gambler with nowhere to go than to have old neighbors holding a grudge against you.
Jian Feng: "I asked someone to buy a very strong door and I will install it for you later."
Wang Mengmei: "It's okay not to pretend."
Since she accepted Ni Hao as her apprentice, Ni Hao's parents came to her house and gave her gifts out of gratitude. Ni Hao was also repeatedly reminded by his parents to work harder.
Ni Hao now lives in the store.
No matter how Wang Mengmei persuaded him, Ni Hao insisted: "My parents and my brother and sister-in-law are all out setting up the stall. I won't have any hot meals to eat when I go home. I might as well stay in the store and watch things."
The people Ni Hao is most grateful to now are his master Wang Mengmei and his grandmaster Jian Feng. If it weren't for these two people, he wouldn't know what he would do now.
After Jian Feng mentioned the idea of setting up a stall, Ni Hao's parents, brother and sister-in-law discussed it and decided to set up a stall for the whole family of four. Ni Hao's mother and sister-in-law bought some underwear and socks and set up a small stall in the city. Ni Hao's father and brother got a motorcycle with a sidecar.
The clothes that came in were packed thickly, so the father and son ran to a nearby town near the mountains to sell them, and their business was surprisingly good.
Ni Hao's sister-in-law was not an unreasonable person. Seeing that the family had made money, she also apologized to Ni Hao privately.
"My sister-in-law was very anxious some time ago. Please don't take it personally."
The family had hope, and Ni Hao's brother and sister-in-law even thought about going to the south to import some more goods to sell.
The whole family is now rushing forward. They have also told Ni Hao that after the summer vacation, he should bring his partner back as soon as possible. As long as the negotiations go well, they can get married during the New Year.
Happy days are just ahead. Ni Hao is now very energetic. Even the aunt who washes dishes in the store finds Wang Mengmei and asks her to talk about her apprentice.
"He has already washed the dishes, what are we doing here?"
Now that the factory has grown bigger, the half-day work that was originally dispensable has become valuable. The aunt who washes dishes is afraid that Ni Hao will take her job.
Wang Mengmei could only hold back her laughter and told Ni Hao that she could go cut some radishes when she had free time. A good chef must have good knife skills.
Don’t worry about wasting the radish after cutting it. Just chop it into small pieces and put it in the dumplings.
Ni Hao's progress made Xue Ling seem a little lazy.
Xue Ling anxiously approached Wang Mengmei and said, "Boss, do you think I should learn something too?"
But she is really not interested in cooking!
Wang Mengmei thought for a moment and said, "If you are not afraid of hard work, why not take an accounting exam?"
Although it is a small shop, Wang Mengmei always has a headache when doing the accounts.
In case Xue Ling felt that she was not treating them fairly, Wang Mengmei said, "Go get a certificate, and I'll reimburse you if you pass it."
Although there are many people who hire accountants outside, Wang Mengmei still feels that having an accountant in her own store is less of a hassle.
Xue Ling thought about it, and after returning home, she took out her textbook and looked through it. She felt that her math was not too bad.
Then...
Fuck.
Xue Ling enrolled in a night university in the city, where she could choose her class times. Wang Mengmei looked at the schedule and generously said that Xue Ling could go whenever she was not busy during the day.
Not at night, the store is busiest at night.
Xue Ling enrolled in night school, and Xue Fang brought a bag of dried shrimps to give to Wang Mengmei.
"It's really strange. She refused to study before, no matter how much her family urged her to do so. Now she is willing to make progress."
The sun really rises in the west.
Xue Ling sat at the counter, listening to her sister talking bad about her, and flipping through the accounting books in her hands loudly with a snort of anger.
Wang Mengmei smiled and said, "It shows that my store has good feng shui. Everyone who comes in likes to learn."
Xue Fang burst out laughing: "It's good to learn something. My husband Li Ming also persuaded me to learn accounting. I thought that when I get there, I will also sign up for a class."
Wang Liming spent the New Year at home and then hurried to the south.
She received a call last month asking her to arrange for her daughter's household registration.
Wang Mengmei paused and asked, "Have you decided on a time?"
After the factory closed down, Wang Liming quickly paid the remaining money and, after ensuring that he had a pension, he decided to move away with his family.
The house in the cotton textile factory was not for sale. Wang Liming thought long-term. Xue Fang followed him, and the old man in the Xue family had a son and a young lady by his side. If there was no place to live in the future, they could move to the cotton textile factory.
Xue Fang nodded: "In another month."
My daughter is six years old this year. She will be seven in September and will be in the first grade of elementary school. Even for the sake of her child, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. The household registration is completed just in time for the start of school.
Xue Fang sighed, "I always thought about leaving before, but when I really left, I felt like leaving before I even left."
In recent months, some of the wealthy have left one after another, and the houses have either been bought or left empty. The factory bathhouse is also operating normally at the request of Director Qiu, but Xue Fang feels that there are fewer people every time she goes there.
"Sister-in-law, I really can't bear to leave you."
After spending so many years together, Xue Fang's eyes were filled with tears.
Wang Mengmei's eyes also turned red: "No, we don't know when we will go there."
Xue Fang: "Then please contact me when you arrive in Shenzhen. I will treat you well."
Wang Mengmei: “That day will come.”
Wang Liming quickly finished his work and rushed back to his hometown to pick up Xue Fang and her daughter.
Xue Fang looked left and right, reluctant to leave.
Daughter Wang Beibei hugged her thighs: "Mom..."
Wang Liming held her shoulders and said, "If you miss home, we can come back for the New Year this year."
Xue Fang felt much better after seeing her husband's thoughtfulness. She shook her head and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
The family had already emptied out all their savings to buy a house in Shenzhen. Once they got there, they had to devote themselves to making money. The bigger the city, the greater the pressure of life. I don't know if I can rest during the Chinese New Year.
It took Wang Liming four or five days to clean up the house. During these days, Jian Feng also helped him move things and clean up the house.
The two brothers drank several times that night and were very upset.
Among the previous group of five, Liu Xiangdong and his wife have long stopped contacting each other, and Zhao Xiaopeng is the same as Li Lijuan and her husband. After the factory went bankrupt, he sold the house and moved to an unknown place.
As for Xu Jianguo...
Wang Liming didn't know where he was either.
"He never went back to the construction site that I introduced to him before, and he never called again."
It was as if this person just disappeared out of thin air.
Wang Liming wrinkled his nose: "This guy is really..."
It used to be seen as a pit, but now it is seen as a waste.
He ignored his wife and children and suddenly disappeared without sending a single cent back.
Sun Yan has been looking for someone like crazy recently. In the end, she had no other choice but to ask Xu Jianguo's brother for money, saying that she was the root of the Xu family and there was no reason why he didn't give her money.
Jian Feng shook his head, helpless.
Sun Yan was a face-conscious person. She had quarreled with Jian Feng's family several times before, so she didn't ask him for money. She just kept quarreling with her mother-in-law.
But even though she made a fuss, she didn't use the money she earned to pay for her daughter's tuition.
Jian Li came back and said that Xu Yanan had no money to pay the tuition and was called away by the teacher.
Jian Feng had prepared the money and was thinking of going to the school to give it to the teacher himself, but soon Jian Li said that the school had waived Xu Yanan's tuition, so Jian Feng did not mention it again.
Can……
"Yanan still has three years of high school."
Wang Liming added: "His son is only three or four years old."
A high school student who is spending money, and a three or four-year-old child who is about to go to kindergarten.
Xu Jianguo was really ruthless.
Wang Liming couldn't understand: "How could a person be like this?"
When a man is away from home, he wants to provide a stable life for his wife and children. No one would abandon his widow and orphan like Xu Jianguo did. Even if Sun Yan was strict, it was not a reason for him to do so.
Jian Feng drank in silence, perhaps because she was his adopted daughter. He could not have sympathy for others, but he could have sympathy for Xu Yanan.
Sun Yan is an adult and there is no way she will starve to death. If she is forced to do so, she can go out and find a job so that she can still make a living.
That little boy would be fine, as long as Sun Yan was there, he would be indispensable. Even if Sun Yan didn't care, Xu Jianguo's elder brother could still raise the child in the countryside.
The only pitiful one is Xu Yanan.
The child has worked hard enough, but it's a pity that he has to deal with such parents. This year is the third year of junior high school, and the high school entrance examination is just around the corner. If it were someone else's family, they would spoil the child to the skies, but when it comes to Xu Yanan, not only does she have to be scolded by Sun Yan at home, but she also has to do housework.
How can I study well like this?
The two drank all night, and the next day Wang Liming stuffed five hundred yuan into Jian Feng's pocket before leaving.
"Brother, take this money. If Xu Jianguo doesn't come back, tell Xiaoli to give the money to Yanan."
They have been brothers for so many years, and Wang Liming has watched Xu Yanan grow up. Wang Liming is also worried about the future of this little girl.
But that's all he can do.
Wang Liming left, and a week later, the police found Sun Yan.
"Excuse me, you are Sun Yan, right?"
Sun Yan was a little nervous, and nodded while holding her son: "I am."
The police officer showed his ID and said, "Your husband, Xu Jianguo, was knocked down by a van ten days ago. No one was able to rescue him and he has now passed away."
Sun Yan stood there in a daze. The child in her arms was uncomfortable being carried and soon started whimpering. Xu Yanan stood at the door of the inner room, facing the main door, holding a basin of dirty clothes.
In the evidence bag held by the police were Xu Jianguo's bloodstained ID and a pair of cloth shoes.
Sun Yan was paralyzed after just one look.
With a howl, Xu Yanan turned around and put down the basin in his hand.
Her life took another downward turn.
