"Chuchu, eat well, or you won't grow tall enough to find a partner later."
Deng Fangping was just saying it casually. It reflects a difference in societal views. In Deng Fangping's mind, women are meant to get married and have children; if they don't grow tall or their bodies aren't fully developed, men won't like them. Changing attitudes isn't something that happens overnight, and Chu Yu was too lazy to argue with her. He told Deng Fangping that women can live perfectly well without marriage. Could Deng Fangping accept such a rebellious idea?
Chu Yu didn't want to waste any more words.
"It's okay. If you can't find a partner, your older sister will support you. She'll buy you a house and a car, and let you live a more carefree life than anyone else."
Chu Chu grinned happily, but Deng Fangping was startled.
It's always the case that older sisters buy houses for their younger brothers; I've never heard of an older sister buying a house for her younger sister. Although the three Chu sisters are in different situations, Deng Fangping had never really thought about it.
Chu Yu is already doing well enough to support Shu Hui, how could he possibly buy another house for his sister?
If we buy one for Chu Chu, we have to buy one for Chu Xiang too. How much would it cost for each of them to have one set?
No matter how much money you make, you can't afford to squander it like this, right?
It's fine for Chu Yu to be alone, but if she finds a boyfriend, the man will have objections, feeling that she's giving too much money to her family.
When Deng Fangping thought of this, she remembered that Chu Yu's boyfriend was Dai Donglin from Beijing. She didn't know what Dai Donglin did, but once when she went out to take out the trash, she heard Dai Donglin talking to some of his brothers about a batch of goods that had come from Guangdong Province.
Deng Fangping and Shu Aiguo whispered to each other for a long time, thinking he seemed like a smuggler.
The two of them didn't feel unsafe. They were capable of doing what they could, and the fact that they could do this meant they had connections to back them up, so they didn't worry about it.
Smuggling is something that keeps people far removed from ordinary citizens, but it can make a lot of money in one go. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but their net worth could easily be hundreds of thousands.
Deng Fangping had such limited vision. In an era when even a household with 10,000 yuan could make the news, the largest amount of savings she could think of was only a few hundred thousand yuan. She never imagined that there were millions or tens of millions.
Dai Donglin is rich, so he doesn't care about the small amount of money Chu Yu gives to her family. Not all men are as stingy as Zhao Gan.
Deng Fangping felt that Chu Yu was lucky to have met such a good man.
Then I think Chu Xiang and Chu Chu are the lucky ones. They don't have to do anything and their older sister buys them houses and cars. What kind of life is that!
Deng Fangping, despite her advanced age, is still struggling to afford a house, while Chu Chu and Chu Xiang, at a young age, already have both.
Mao Guangyu, carrying a black leather bag under his arm, came downstairs. Cao Zhiming met him and greeted him very politely.
"Hello, leader."
Mao Guangyu pretended not to know him. Logically, he shouldn't have met Cao Zhiming before. Cao Zhiming was transferred to Deyang because he had solid achievements.
Cao Zhiming worked diligently for many years and was appreciated by his superiors, so he was transferred from the county to the city. This was the script that Mao Guangyu had written for him.
But what is the reality? Cao Zhiming is Qiu Yun's man. Mao Guangyu met him when he was having an affair with Qiu Yun. He would pick Qiu Yun up after work every day. He was considerate and attentive to her. Mao Guangyu was not a very good person, but he appreciated Cao Zhiming's thoughtfulness.
Unfortunately, Qiu Yun had a child, and Mao Guangyu, in order to keep the child, made Qiu Yun marry Cao Zhiming.
When Mao Guangyu and Qiu Yun separated, they were both in the throes of passion and would find opportunities to have sex every week, being very affectionate.
Pushing Qiu Yun to another man gave Mao Guangyu a secret thrill of adultery, and his expression became particularly subtle when he saw Cao Zhiming.
Cao Zhiming was transferred by him and was his subordinate. With just a word from him, he could manipulate this man at will. Mao Guangyu had a rare opportunity for further study, which was coveted by the older colleagues in the unit, but he planned to give the opportunity to Cao Zhiming.
Why not give it to him? If Cao Zhiming is sent away, he can openly have an affair with Qiu Yun.
In his early years, Mao Guangyu had little influence and dared not act openly. Now, he has bought a house in the suburbs and his company has provided him with a car. He takes Qiu Yun to other places under the guise of business trips. In unfamiliar places, no one knows them, so they can do whatever they want.
What else wouldn't he dare to do?
Zhou Fangchun didn't dare to cause trouble; if he did, he wouldn't treat Mao Xia well. Mao Guangyu was shrewd and weighed the pros and cons. Standing on the stairs, he smiled and looked down at Cao Zhiming, saying:
"Xiao Cao, you've come at the right time. I have a great opportunity for further study. It's a ten-day course in Suzhou. I've already prepared the letter of introduction. Pack your things tonight, and you can stay at the company's guesthouse when you arrive in Suzhou."
Cao Zhiming was born into a peasant family. He passed the entrance exam for a job in the county after elementary school and was later transferred to Deyang by his superiors. He considered himself lucky and even told Qiu Yun:
"Such a great promotion opportunity, none of my colleagues with connections got it, but I was the only one transferred to Deyang. It seems that the leaders value me a lot."
Cao Zhiming had no connections, so after arriving in Deyang he kept a very low profile in his speech and actions, for fear of offending people and being retaliated against by his superiors.
Unexpectedly, Mao Guangyu valued him so much that he gave him all the opportunities to further his studies.
After returning home, Cao Zhiming washed his hands in a good mood before picking up Zhouzhou.
"Honey, I have some good news for you."
It rained yesterday, and Qiuyun's shoes got dirty. Cao Zhiming smiled and took off her shoes to the pool to wash them.
Qiu Yun was momentarily dazed, then asked, "What good news?"
"I ran into my boss at work today and said hello. To my surprise, he gave me a great opportunity to go to Suzhou for further training. I've already bought the train ticket and I'm leaving tomorrow."
The sound of a shoe brush rubbing against the shoe surface echoed in the empty room. Cao Zhiming was completely unaware of this, and his cheerful appearance made Qiu Yun feel guilty for a moment.
It's just an affair; she can still salvage the situation. At worst, she can just cut off all contact with Mao Guangyu.
But she not only made Cao Zhiming wear a green hat, but also made Cao Zhiming raise Zhouzhou for five or six years. Once such a misunderstanding is revealed, the two will become irreconcilable enemies.
