When Shu Aiguo returned and heard about this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to the Liao family's house to bang on the door, but the Liao family's door was already locked.
Shu Jiandang was nowhere to be found; he had come looking for nothing.
Deng Fangping was quite happy. Although they had made a scene, the Liao family had gotten themselves into trouble. Even if they weren't sentenced, they would at least be locked up for a few days. Business people can't afford to be messed up. Customers all know what kind of people the Liao family are. How could they possibly do business with them in the future?
"We owe this all to Comrade Dai."
Deng Fangping wondered if Dai Donglin was being too enthusiastic. Helping once or twice was one thing, but how many times had it happened? He went to the roujiamo shop every few days. If it were an ordinary person, it would be one thing, but given Dai Donglin's family background, this kind of privileged kid from a high-ranking family would never look at their small roujiamo shop.
The roujiamo shop doesn't have any gold nuggets!
No, why isn't it there?
Deng Fangping belatedly stared at Chu Yu and Dai Donglin, and the more she looked, the more she felt that there was something wrong with the way the two of them were looking at each other.
Well, their eyes have a certain charm.
Dai Donglin looked at Chu Yu with the same affection that Shu Aiguo showed to a quail that had laid eggs—he doted on her immensely!
Deng Fangping hadn't thought about it this way before, thinking that Comrade Dai Donglin was a bit more enthusiastic than others. But after noticing the signs, the more she looked at them, the more daring she felt. How could they dare to conduct tunnel warfare in front of the whole family?
This is outrageous!
Deng Fangping pulled Chu Yu aside, "Chu Yu, you and Comrade Dai..."
Chu Yu didn't intend to hide it from her. Shu Aiguo and Shu Hui were easy to fool, but Deng Fangping was shrewd and decisive. How could an ordinary rural woman just decide to sell roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) or open a furniture factory? Deng Fangping had that kind of ambition; even without Chu Yu, she would have made it big sooner or later.
They're all family, there's no way to hide anything from them. Besides, Dai Donglin is good-looking and has a great physique, what's there to be ashamed of?
"Aunt, it's just what you think. I'm dating Dai Donglin."
Deng Fangping was surprised that she could admit that Dai Donglin was far better than Zhao Gan, the man Shu Lan had found. Dai Donglin was a son of a powerful family in Beijing, and he was able to come to the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop to please his mother-in-law, Shu Hui, and make a name for himself among their relatives for Chu Yu.
What about Zhao Gan? He's nothing, just a dual-income family in a county town, yet he thinks too highly of himself and looks down on them in every way.
You can tell whether a man cares about you or not.
Deng Fangping thought that Dai Donglin was a million times better than Zhao Gan!
Chu Yu thought Deng Fangping would object, but to her surprise, Deng Fangping patted her shoulder and smiled:
“You’ve always been decisive, and your aunt trusts your choices. Your aunt isn’t very educated and doesn’t understand many grand principles, but she thinks that when women are dating, they shouldn’t take men too seriously; their own future is the most important thing.”
In the 1980s, Deng Fangping's awareness was quite advanced.
Chu Yu agreed with her. She could devote herself wholeheartedly to a relationship and be infatuated with Dai Donglin, but if Dai Donglin asked her to be a housewife and sacrifice for her family and children, Chu Yu would not give in.
She has lived two lives, gained knowledge, and seen the world. She doesn't have to sacrifice or yield for anyone. She will put herself in the most important position and live for herself.
Chu Yu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Auntie."
When are you planning to tell your mom?
“I didn’t intend to hide it from her, but I was afraid she would worry. I’ll tell her after I finish my college entrance exam.”
Deng Fangping nodded, thinking that Shu Hui was really lucky. Her daughter was not only good at academics, beautiful, and good at making money, but she was also sensible. Her first relationship was with someone like Dai Donglin.
How come this girl is so clear-headed?
On the other hand, Deng Fangping just couldn't understand why her daughter insisted on being with Zhao Gan. Would she die if she didn't date? No matter how good a man is, is his future or family more important? Did she have to hit a brick wall before she woke up?
Upon hearing the news, Dai Donglin was overjoyed and spun Chu Yu around twice before putting her down.
Chu Yu was also helpless. It was just that she had announced her relationship with Deng Fangping, and Shu Aiguo and Shu Hui didn't even know about it. Was it really worth Dai Donglin being so happy?
“It’s worth it, of course it’s worth it. Our aunt has good taste; she can tell at a glance that I’m not the kind of man who messes around.”
Dai Donglin has always unconditionally supported Chu Yu's decisions. Putting himself in her shoes, he thought, "She's the top student in her grade at Dezhong High School, with a bright future ahead of her. It's no wonder her family is worried if she goes off to date at this time!"
There's nothing wrong with having a secret relationship, and there's nothing wrong with being the man behind Chu Yu. The real problem is that Chu Yu gets into a prestigious university, has more choices, and might fall for a pretty boy who knows how to sweet-talk, and then find him, this rough guy, unpleasant to look at.
Chu Yu's public announcement of her relationship gave Dai Donglin a huge boost of confidence, and he was overjoyed.
"Since my aunt is so supportive, I should also show my appreciation. Chu Xiang, Chu Chu, and their daughter Jiang Yunyun are going to transfer schools, right? I'll take care of that for you!"
Chu Yu didn't really want to trouble him, but transferring schools was indeed difficult. Chu Yu was admitted through special admission because she ranked first in her grade. Chu Xiang didn't have her grades, so transferring to Dezhong was not something she could do easily.
The school that Xiao Jiang and Yunyun are going to is the best in Deyang, and it's a school that you can get into just by paying money.
If future generations want to get into this kind of school, they'll have to spend millions to buy a house in the school district five years in advance.
In the 1980s, there was no concept of "school district housing." It seemed like things were more relaxed, but in reality, there were many more restrictions. Without a Deyang household registration and if your family wasn't a working-class family, it was incredibly difficult to transfer to Deyang for school.
Deng Fangping was overjoyed when she heard the news. "Donglin, won't this be too much trouble for you?"
"Auntie, we're all family, you're being too polite!" Dai Donglin said cheerfully.
Deng Fangping was even happier than Shu Hui, the mother-in-law. How could she not be happy? A man who spends money and effort for you doesn't necessarily like you, but someone like Zhao Gan, who is stingy and miserly, definitely doesn't like you.
