Yu Chi was surprised, "Publicity, Miss Qin, what do you mean..."
Qin Hongfei nodded, "It's just what you think."
After all, Yu Chi had followed Qin Hongfei for quite some time, so he immediately understood what was going on and asked someone to keep an eye on Old Lady Xia.
Just as Qin Hongfei thought, Old Mrs. Xia was sent to the hospital and was quickly rescued, and she did not give up easily.
Not only was the trip to the Qin family in vain, she also had to rely on oxygen to spend the rest of her days in the ward. The other relatives of the Xia family were unwilling to take over such a hot potato. Not only were they old and difficult to serve, but both Mrs. Xia and her husband were old, and the hospital required a younger generation to keep an eye on them. Naturally, they would think of Xia Lu, but Xia Lu would definitely not come. What to do? They had to find a way to force her to come.
Xia's relatives began to spread rumors on the streets that Xia Lu was unfilial, that she didn't care about her parents or her younger brother, etc.
In 1999, people's thinking was not yet advanced in all aspects. The idea that children should take care of their parents in their old age was deeply rooted in people's minds. Even if their parents had many faults, their children still had to take care of them in their old age. This was everyone's concept.
The news started spreading in the streets and alleys, and spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people.
When Xia Shangxu heard the sound and ran over to ask, Qin Hongfei was very calm, which was similar to what she thought.
Old Mrs. Xia is stubborn and old. She hasn't been able to lower herself to plead for her son in more than 20 years. That means she wants to save her son very much, but she can't, so she can only ask Xia Lu to save him.
...
...
What to do if Xia Lu is unwilling to save him? She can only suppress her filial piety. This is the only means that Old Lady Xia can use.
"Uncle, do you have any connections that can be used?" Qin Hongfei asked.
"What kind of relationship do you want..." Xia Shangxu said, "The one who beat people? The one who killed people?"
Qin Hongfei looked at him in surprise, "You are a businessman, how can you hide the connections that can kill people?"
Xia Shangxu lit a cigarette and grinned, "You don't understand this as well as I do. Doing business is bound to attract jealousy from peers, so it's normal to use some connections to protect yourself."
Sometimes, even if you are nice and talkative, others will not give in because of your kindness. On the contrary, if you are ruthless enough, others will be afraid of you and dare not provoke you.
Qin Hongfei looked at him with admiration, "No need for these, just spreading the news on the streets is enough. Yu Chi doesn't have enough connections here, so it would be a waste of time and money to recruit people."
Xia Shangxu responded quickly and understood immediately, "I'll ask Song Zicheng for help, and by the way, find some dirt on the Xia family and publicize the stupid things Xia Shirong did."
Qin Hongfei said, "No..."
"Uncle, what you want to publicize is not Xia Shirong's dirty laundry."
Xia Shangxu looked at her in confusion, and soon, his face was filled with surprise.
What Qin Hongfei wants is not tit-for-tat confrontation, nor temporary relief, what she wants is to resolve the issue once and for all.
She asked Yu Chi and Xia Shangxu's men to find various people to talk to near Xia's house and in the streets and alleys of Qinhuai Street, using either gongs and drums or hanging banners to curse Xia Lu - that's right, curse Xia Lu as harshly as possible.
They scolded her for being unfilial, for not caring about her elderly father and mother, and for not saving her brother when she clearly had a way to do it!
For a time, the affairs concerning the Xia family were widely spread in Qinhuai Street, and there was even a tendency for the news to spread to the town.
Whenever people from Lao Qin's family went out to buy vegetables or go to the fields and were encountered, someone would come to inquire about the situation. The rumors became more and more intense. After learning about the situation, many kind-hearted people went to the hospital to visit Old Mrs. Xia and gave the Xia family rice, oil and consolation money.
Old Mrs. Xia never expected that her story would arouse so much sympathy from so many people. When someone came to visit her, she was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. She looked like an old woman who had really suffered a lot of injustice.
She really felt miserable.
Not only did she give birth to her daughter in vain, but now her son is in trouble and she won't help even when asked to.
That is the root of the Xia family!
If she lost this, how would she explain to the ancestors of the Xia family in the future? She didn't want to force Xia Lu, but just hoped that she would come forward to help the family. She kept crying and complaining. Everyone in the hospital ward also knew the story of the old lady in this ward being abandoned by her daughter. Everyone was indignant. One patient even gave Old Lady Xia an idea, "Why don't you go to the TV station for help? If you go on TV, more people will see it. Then your daughter won't believe it even if she wants to ignore it."
Old Mrs. Xia was very surprised, "My story can be on TV..."
She thought that anything that could be shown on TV was a big deal.
The enthusiastic patient nodded and said, "Of course you can. Our country has been promoting caring for the elderly, children, women and children in recent years. Your situation, where your son was arrested and your daughter doesn't care, is also within this scope. If it's on TV, more people will know about it, and then more people will come to help you. Your daughter will have to care about you. If she doesn't care about you, you can sue her. She may be fined, and then your descendants won't be able to take the civil service exam if she has a criminal record."
When Old Mrs. Xia heard this, she couldn't help but hesitate. Xia Lu was also a daughter after all.
The old man next to him had a mean and sinister look on his face. When he heard that he could be on TV, he wanted to go up and promote his unfilial daughter immediately: "What are you hesitating about? If you can save Shirong, you must agree to it." As for the daughter? She deserved it.
An ungrateful man who doesn't care about his parents or his younger brother, gave birth to a daughter. It turns out that she is useless and has no conscience at all.
Old Lady Xia also thought so. As for Xia Lu's offspring not being able to take the civil service exam, then they couldn't. Why would a girl take the exam? She could just find someone to marry and be done with it. But it was different for her son. If there was no one to settle all the debts, then he wouldn't be able to find a wife. If he couldn't find a wife, then there would be no way to continue the Xia family's bloodline. Although she felt a little sorry for the Hongfei sisters, she still said, "Then, let's go on TV. What do I need to prepare?"
The patient gave her a thumbs up and praised her, "Old lady, you are doing the right thing. You don't need to prepare anything. I will say hello to my friend and you can just answer whatever the reporter asks. By the way, you should clean yourself up and don't look sloppy, otherwise it will be difficult to be on the air."
Mrs. Xia and her husband nodded quickly. They were a little excited as they might be on TV for the first time.
What the couple didn't know was that after leaving the hospital, the patient turned a corner and headed for an open-air stall near the hospital. Xia Shangxu and Qin Hongfei were sitting in the same seat. The patient came over and sat down directly opposite them, grinning, "Brother Xia, everything has been done as you said. The old lady also agreed to be on TV. When she heard that she could help her son, she was so excited that she agreed without saying a word."
Xia Shangxu smiled and praised him a few times, then gave him some hard work money, "I'll have to trouble you later."
The patient quickly agreed that it was no problem. After receiving the hard work fee, he saw that there was 500 yuan. He was secretly shocked. This was really generous. That old lady was so stupid. How could a poor person fight against a rich person? Especially Qin Hongfei. Although she was young, she gave him a feeling that she was not someone who could be easily messed with.
Back in the 1990s, she became rich through scientific research
