"The Duyun family..."
"You went out to work, leaving your wife and children at home, and were forced by your mother to jump into the well. I jumped in and pulled them back. What did I say?"
"Director Zhou, there were no neighborhood committees back then, only production teams. Your uncle was the team leader. He would always look for Jiang Ke for advice on any major or minor issues. He rose through the ranks thanks to Jiang Ke and retired with honor! Now they all have city hukou."
"And there's the Xiao family. They're so poor that their home is broke and they don't even have anything to eat. We help them out a little bit from time to time. If Jiang Ke has any job, he can introduce your husband to someone..." Xia Lu said, emphasizing each word and scanning most of the people in the crowd.
"I'm not exaggerating, but eight out of ten people living on Qinhuai Street have received favors from my husband."
"I never asked you to repay me, please remember the favor, what a pity..."
There was some silence in the crowd.
What Jiang Ke gave were all small favors, but for these people at that time, they were great favors that allowed them to survive.
Xia Shangxu was a little surprised. What happened to his cousin? After being silent for so many years, she suddenly exploded? With a little doubt, he suddenly saw Hong Fei standing there quietly. She seemed to understand something and sneered: "Sister, why are you talking so much? You are just a group of ungrateful villains."
At this moment, many people were on pins and needles.
...
...
Concubine Qin's eyes gradually turned red.
Qin Hongfei also looked at Ms. Xia Lu in surprise. She had no memory of these things, but when she thought about it, it was normal. When Qin Jiangke passed away, she was only six or seven years old. In addition, after traveling through time, she had lost her memory of many things. The only thing she remembered was after her father left. It was okay at the beginning, but gradually, when the conflict between Xia Lu and the fifth room became more and more serious, she was taken to the street by Concubine Qin. Every time she met a neighbor, she would be advised to persuade Xia Lu not to cause trouble with the fifth room anymore, and that harmony brings wealth.
Later on, this kind of persuasion gradually changed its meaning.
It is accusatory.
I don't know when, the eyes on the street turned into pointing fingers. Many times, I heard people talking about my mother behind her back, saying that Xia Lu was a bad person, didn't raise the children well, and raised the two children like this...
In her previous life, she didn't even know that she had a brother, nor did she know anything about raising a person.
Some things, when talked about for a long time, turn from false to true.
When Xia Lu and the fifth room had a quarrel, everyone stood on the side of Aunt Qin. One reason was that Xia Lu never bothered to explain, and the other was that Aunt Qin was a teacher, and many people's children were taught by her. They had to rely on her connections and get benefits, so they helped Aunt Qin to persuade, or even criticize.
The two elders of the Qin family would also say a few words from time to time. Concubine Qin's grades were not good, and she became quieter and quieter. She was not sweet-talking and not likable, and slowly she became a background board until she traveled through time. Introverted children who are not sweet-talking are not liked, but being unlikable does not mean they are wrong!
But in the eyes of many adults in Qinhuai Street, being introverted and unlovable, compared with those who are likable and can make money, she and Qin Fei are wrong, especially since she doesn't know that so many people had received the favor of her father back then.
Qin Hongfei's eyes flashed with sarcasm. She turned her head to look at Qin Fei and reached out to wipe her tears. "Why are you crying? Don't cry. We are not wrong. There is nothing to cry about..."
Qin Fei looked at her sister's calm expression. She was older than Qin Hongfei and remembered things from her childhood. But it was because she remembered that she felt more aggrieved and wronged. She wiped away her tears silently, "We really did nothing wrong, right?"
Qin Hongfei said with absolute certainty, "That's right."
What is wrong is the prejudice, and what is wrong are the adults who change their attitudes according to the wind.
Concubine Qin has lived in such an environment for too long, and she has become confused about right and wrong. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so inferior.
Qin Hongfei clenched her hand and looked at Xia Lu again. Xia Lu today was a little different, not quite the same as her impression of her. Or rather, this was the real Xia Lu, which gave her an illusion.
Behind him, Tang Jinnan suddenly asked, "Auntie, why does it look like you are saying goodbye?"
Qin Hongfei's heart sank, and she thought to herself, it turns out I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Back in the 1990s, she became rich through scientific research
