The Qiu Jiadong incident was just a starting point. By following the clues, they found the Qiu family's underground palace. Qiu Jiadong's consistent image as a good person could no longer be hidden. Once the tip of the iceberg was revealed, an avalanche was only a matter of time.
Qiu Jiadong and Qiu Guangyuan were both put into police cars, while Sheng Yuying stood at the door, looking utterly dejected.
Zhou Fangchun, holding Mao Xia, was quite frightened, while Sheng Yuying helplessly held Zhou Fangchun's hand.
"Fangchun, you must help your sister. Find someone to inquire why my husband, Lao Qiu, and Jiadong were arrested."
Sheng Yuying was terrified and clung to Zhou Fangchun as if she were grasping at a last straw. Unlike Zhou Fangchun, Sheng Yuying was not aware of the situation outside.
She had stayed at home for many years, and without Qiu Guangyuan to support her, she was completely lost and didn't know who to ask.
Zhou Fangchun didn't move. Sheng Yuying noticed her indifference. It's only natural for people to grow distant after someone leaves, but wasn't Mao Guangyu also in jail? The two families were in the same boat. Qiu Guangyuan and Mao Guangyu were bound together for both prosperity and ruin. No one could stay out of it.
"Fangchun, if Lao Qiu goes in, your Guangyu probably won't get out either. Our two families are in the same boat, so you'd better think it through."
Sheng Yuying glanced at Mao Xia in her arms, her tone changing, "Originally, she was supposed to be your niece, but who knew that by some twist of fate she would become your daughter. It's not necessarily a bad thing; the two children are about the same age, and Lao Qiu and your Guangyu are old acquaintances who have both encountered trouble together. I think it's all fate. You were also involved in bringing the two children together, so since it was a mistake, why not go with the flow and let the two children be together? Who knows, your Mao Xia might already be carrying our Jia Dong's child. If she does have a child, let Mao Xia give birth to the child, and I'll raise it. We'll become even closer relatives, how about that?"
Zhou Fangchun cursed inwardly.
A marriage between relatives? Sheng Yuying is shameless. If it weren't for that scoundrel Qiu Jiadong, would Mao Xia have suffered like this?
Even in this state, with Mao Xia trembling all over and her mind unstable, Sheng Yuying still wanted Mao Xia to have a child with Qiu Jiadong!
That old hag is dreaming. Qiu Guangyuan and Qiu Jiadong were arrested together. The Qiu family's situation is much more urgent than the Mao family's. Besides, with Mao Xia in this state, how could Zhou Fangchun be in the mood to think about Mao Guangyu? Sheng Yuying's words are just rubbing salt into her wounds.
Zhou Fangchun sneered: "Sheng Yuying, you wish! My Mao Xia is so young, she's still in college, how could she possibly have a child for your Qiu family?"
Sheng Yuying didn't expect her to turn on her so quickly.
If it weren't for the family's decline, Sheng Yuying would never have given Mao Xia a second glance, given his pretentious and vain nature.
How can you find a daughter-in-law like this? She'll never be tamed even if you keep her at home. Besides, Mao Xia barely passed the junior college entrance exam; she'll have a hard time getting into a good junior college. How can she compare to the top science student in the province? Even if we don't compare grades and character, just in terms of looks, Mao Xia is a world apart from Chu Yu.
"Fangchun, you're wrong about that. What's wrong with my Jiadong? You said it yourself, Jiadong is young. He'll grow up after he gets married and has children."
"Pah! Your Qiu Jiadong is so old, yet he's always out there forcing himself on young girls, getting them pregnant, and then shirking all responsibility. In the old days, this kind of promiscuous scum would have been shot! How could such trash be worthy of my Mao Xia! Qiu Jiadong forcibly took my Mao Xia, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"
Zhou Fangchun was so angry that she went back to her room to get her bag, and gave Sheng Yuying a cold smile as she passed by.
"I advise you to watch your words. If anyone finds out about my Mao Xia's affairs, I will definitely report Qiu Jiadong to the police! Then you can just wait for Qiu Jiadong to get shot!"
"you……"
Sheng Yuying was furious. She knew people were realistic, but she never expected them to be this realistic.
Luo Kangcheng ordered his men to confiscate everything in the house, and the basement was sealed off. Sheng Yuying couldn't even go home and had to live somewhere else.
When Chu Yu returned home, Shu Hui was making roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and Deng Fangping was washing bamboo leaves. There was still a batch of bamboo leaves left over from the Dragon Boat Festival, and she planned to make zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) again. Since the students were on summer vacation, the weather was hot in the afternoon, and there weren't many people eating, so it was a good time to rest.
"Mom, Uncle Kangcheng can walk now?"
"Yes, he has no major problems walking and his memory is not impaired. The doctors say he is a miracle."
Dai Donglin and Luo Kangcheng seemed to know each other well, clearly in cahoots. Zuo Ran called Dai Donglin "brother," and since Dai Donglin was related to Secretary Zuo, Luo Kangcheng was at least able to be reinstated.
"Then Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo can rest assured. Otherwise, it would be really hard for the two old people to take care of a son in a vegetative state."
"Isn't that right? Your grandfather sold the house to you before, originally intending to use the money to treat Luo Kangcheng's illness. Now that the money hasn't been spent, Luo Kangcheng has woken up again, and they want to buy another house for Luo Kangcheng to use for his wedding."
"Is he not married yet?"
"They got married, but when the woman saw that he couldn't wake up, she took the child and went back to her parents' home. I heard she went with another man, but she's not doing well."
Chu Yu was quite in favor of buying a house. Money depreciates too quickly if left in hand, so it's safer to exchange it for a house.
The admission notice wouldn't arrive for another ten days or so. Five days later was the Deyang Investment Promotion Conference, personally hosted by Secretary Zuo. Chu Yu had heard that many well-known merchants were attending the conference, and she wanted to go and take a look.
A garment factory wouldn't require a million-dollar investment in a short time, but a furniture factory could easily afford it. Buying a Knicks production line would cost several hundred thousand dollars, and with the addition of land to expand the factory, an investment of a million dollars or so wouldn't be too much.
Chu Yu discussed this matter with Shu Aiguo.
"Once this is settled, my admission notice will be issued soon. I'll have to trouble my second uncle to take care of the rest."
“I’m your uncle, why are you being so polite with me? It’s just that a million-dollar investment is too much, I can’t come up with that much money.”
The furniture mall has been doing well for more than six months since it opened. After the wall advertisements were put up, it can earn several thousand yuan every day.
The furniture store needed to pay salaries, and there was money in the account to buy timber. There were also transportation costs for buying timber from other places. After all these miscellaneous expenses, Shu Aiguo only had a little over 300,000 yuan left. He also gave some to Shulan, and spent some money building a house. He simply couldn't come up with 500,000 yuan.
Deyang requires a minimum investment of one million yuan, which Shu Aiguo couldn't afford, causing him considerable trouble.
Chu Yu had enough money, but one thing at a time. When doing business together, accounts must be clear, and she couldn't lend money to Shu Aiguo for investment.
"If all else fails, we'll take out a bank loan."
“Loan? I heard that a loan is secured by a house. My house was only worth a few thousand yuan, so I can’t get much money from the bank.”
“The houses aren’t worth much, but our project is. After attending the investment promotion conference, we’ll set the amount of investment to attract, get the preferential policies from the Deyang government, and then find a bank to secure a mortgage loan. Once we get the loan, we can then finalize the investment. In this way, we can get something for nothing.”
