Chapter 417 The Zhuang Family Wants to Save Money

On the day when the first snow of this winter fell in the North City, Chen Yu came back.

He went to Granny Ma's house as soon as possible, and Jiang Yu was there.

Jiang Yu quickly made him a cup of brown sugar water to warm his hands.

"Why is Chen Gong dressed so thinly? No wonder the teacher said two days ago that she would make you a cotton-padded jacket."

Chen Yu drank two sips of the sugar water and laughed.

"If Senior Sister makes it for me according to the previous size, I'm afraid it will be too big."

Granny Ma glared at him, "Then eat more and try to gain some weight."

As they chatted, Jiang Yu stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go buy some mutton, come to my house to eat mutton hotpot in the evening."

Chen Gong didn't say politely, "I've been thinking about this."

In the evening, Jiang Yu and He Tingyue prepared a copper pot at home, called Chen Gong and Granny Ma, and gathered around the table.

After dinner, Chen Gong took out three letters.

One was given to Granny Ma, and the other two were from Jiang Yu and He Tingyue.

"I asked around and contacted Yun'an. This is his letter to you."

Granny Ma's hands trembled visibly, and the envelope fell lightly to the ground.

Chen Gong sighed and picked it up for her.

"He wants to come back, but he can't." Due to

policy issues and his sensitive identity, he couldn't come back from the port city.

Qin Yun'an didn't even dare to contact Granny Ma on his own initiative, for fear of bringing her a devastating disaster.

For Granny Ma now, peace is the most precious happiness.

Granny Ma stroked the envelope, and it felt like a thousand pounds in her hand.

The son she had sent away with her own hands is back.

After explaining a few words to her, Chen Gong turned to look at Jiang Yu.

"This is your teacher's son, Qin Yun'an. He is much older than you. It is not too much for you to call him senior brother."

Jiang Yu was flattered. He did not expect that this senior brother whom he had never met would actually write to him.

He Tingyue was still calm. He had tried to contact Qin Yun'an before. The two had been in touch with each other for a long time. He was not surprised.

Jiang Yu touched the envelope. Her letter was thicker than the others.

She opened it and took out the letter inside.

A thick stack of foreign exchange bonds was taken out, estimated to be thousands.

Chen Gong said, "He originally wanted to give more, but I said you are in good condition and you don't need this little money. I will let him thank you in person when there is a chance."

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't care about that."

She unfolded the letter and saw that Qin Yunan had never met her, but the letter was written in a familiar tone, calling her "Junior Sister".

He wrote slowly and sincerely, expressing his gratitude to Jiang Yu.

He did not ask Jiang Yu to take care of Granny Ma, because there was no need to ask, Jiang Yu would do it herself. He

only attached his contact information and address at the end of the envelope, hoping that she would reply and looking forward to meeting her soon.

Jiang Yu closed the envelope and looked at the stack of foreign exchange bonds, thinking that Qin Yunan must be very rich to be so generous.

"What does my senior brother do in Gangcheng?"

Chen Yu said, "He is in the clothing business. His business is very big. His company has factories all over the world, ranging from fabric research and development to ready-made clothes."

But for some things, money is useless, such as Granny Ma.

Granny Ma is reluctant to leave her hometown, but if she stays in Beicheng, she will attract attention if she lives a slightly better life.

With so many people staring at her, it is difficult for Qin Yunan to show filial piety to her.

Jiang Yu asked curiously, "I wonder if there is any Dacron?"

She didn't know much about chemical fibers. The most common ones were either nylon or Dacron.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "You can write a letter and ask, maybe there is."

That night, Jiang Yu really wrote a letter carefully, mainly asking about chemical fibers.

She bit the tip of the pen and dreamed with He Tingyue: "If one day our country also has a chemical fiber factory and has its own Dacron production line, we won't need to import it!"

He Tingyue smiled and touched her head, "Then you try hard and see if I can get some help from my wife."

Jiang Yu frowned, "But if I ask for the production method directly, isn't it a bit like asking for a big deal like a lion?"

Taking care of Granny Ma was something she wanted to do, and she never felt that Qin Yunan owed her a favor.

He Tingyue pondered for a moment, "Maybe we can introduce foreign investment through cooperation, and let Mr. Qin and our national cotton factory jointly build a joint venture factory."

But these are all later stories, and it's too early to mention them now.

The next day, Jiang Yu sent the letter out.

On the way home, she met Wu Jingyi. Without Jiang Yu, she was very proud and her face was full of rosy glow.

Jiang Yu was just hesitating whether to go up and say hello to her, when Wu Jingyi took the initiative to walk over.

"Deputy Section Chief Jiang, what a coincidence."

"Yes, where are you going?"

Wu Jingyi took the initiative to introduce the person next to her: "Secretary Yu, this is Jiang Yu, the deputy section chief of the publicity department of our second factory."

Jiang Yu didn't know this person, so he nodded implicitly and greeted each other.

Secretary Yu asked, "Why haven't you seen Deputy Section Chief Jiang at the Second Factory these past two days?"

Wu Jingyi smiled and said, "Our Deputy Section Chief Jiang is currently on suspension and is not working at the Second Factory."

Secretary Yu suddenly realized, "So that's the case, then I won't say more."

Wu Jingyi nodded, "Deputy Section Chief Jiang, I have to take Secretary Yu out for dinner, so I won't talk to you anymore."

Jiang Yu's face was indifferent, "Go."

Wu Jingyi's words, she didn't take them to heart, it was just a little trick.

She quickly forgot about this episode. She

slowly returned home and heard Xu Lihua say that someone came to propose marriage to Sun Yulian.

"Is it the one she went on a blind date with last time?" Jiang Yu asked.

Xu Lihua was not sure, "I think so. Apart from the last time, I haven't seen her go out for a blind date since then."

From blind date to marriage, it took only a few days, and the speed was very fast.

Not long after, Sun's mother sent the man's family out, and her words were very satisfied.

After they left, Sun's mother announced the good news in the compound, saying that Sun Yulian's wedding date had been set, the day after tomorrow.

"Everyone must come to have a drink then."

Everyone responded and congratulated her.

The wedding date was a bit rushed, but seeing that Sun Yulian's vacation was about to end, she had to get married no matter how fast.

From Xu Lihua, Jiang Yu knew that Sun Yulian's target was Zhuang Nianfu, and he had an unmarried disabled brother.

"Both brothers are not in good health, one is disabled and the other is weak. Their parents are well-off, as they are both full-time workers, but they will eventually get old, and when that time comes, it will all depend on Yulian to support them."

Xu Lihua clicked her tongue and shook her head. She was not optimistic about this marriage.

Jiang Yu did not comment, "She has no choice."

Marriage is like drinking water, and only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold.

Xu Lihua hesitated to speak, not knowing whether to say it or not.

In the end, she couldn't help it: "I heard that the Zhuang family wants to marry a daughter-in-law to serve the two brothers."

This matter was too dirty. When she found out about it, she held it in for a long time and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Now that she happened to talk to Jiang Yu, she said it out.

Jiang Yu was startled, and seemed to be a little confused.

"What...what does this mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. Both brothers are not in good health, so it is inevitable that the bride price will be higher. The Zhuang family wants to save money and marry one wife to both brothers."

Jiang Yu felt sick just thinking about it. How could anyone dare to do such a thing.

"Aunt Xu, do Aunt Ruan know about this?"

Xu Lihua shook her head repeatedly, "I don't know about this, but I guess they don't know." Even

if Sun's mother didn't love Sun Yulian, she wouldn't do such a heartless thing.

"And I just heard it, don't spread it. If it turns out to be untrue, they will blame me to death."
