Zhou Ya looked at Shen Chuning with tears of emotion in her eyes.
Then, he hugged Shen Chuning, “Ningning, thank you.”
Shen Chuning patted Zhou Ya on the back.
After Zhou Ya let go of Shen Chuning, she still said in a very tangled tone: “Ningning, in fact, I also know that Captain Xu is a good comrade.
But I..."
Zhou Ya paused, "I've been divorced, and..."
Zhou Ya didn't say the rest of the words, but Shen Chuning knew what Zhou Ya was worried about.
This era is harsh on women. Zhou Ya is divorced, and the people in the compound are considered to be relatively well-mannered. They won't say anything to her to her face, but they can't help but talk about her behind her back.
Zhou Ya has to face not only these discussions, but also the hurdle in her own heart. She herself feels inferior because of her divorce and dares not open her heart to accept love again.
Shen Chuning held Zhou Ya’s hand and looked at her with a firm gaze, “Sister, I think it doesn’t matter whether you accept Captain Xu or not.
But I think one thing is very important. You must know that divorce is not your fault. There is nothing wrong with you. You will always be the best version of yourself and the best Zhou Ya.
You won’t become a bad person because of divorce. As long as you like it, you deserve all the good things in this world! ”
Zhou Ya looked at Shen Chuning's bright and determined eyes, and something seemed to be ignited in her eyes.
She was silent for a long time before she nodded heavily to Shen Chuning, “Ningning, I understand.”
In the next few days, Shen Chuning began to busy himself with looking for various departments to apply for a business license for Zhou Ya.
But she didn't expect that Xu Jiangang would come to her before anything happened on her side.
"Comrade Shen, I'm sorry to bother you." The tall Xu Jiangang, with a square face, looked at Shen Chuning and said politely and honestly.
"Captain Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Shen Chuning asked doubtfully. She had already guessed in her heart that Xu Jiangang was probably here for Zhou Ya.
Xu Jiangang took out a note from his wallet and said to Shen Chuning, "Comrade Shen, I heard that you have been busy applying for a license for Comrade Zhou's store these days.
Comrade Zhou took care of me before and helped me get back on my feet. I didn't have much chance to repay her, so I inquired about this matter and got this approval slip. I ask you to help give it to her. ”
Only then did Shen Chuning see clearly that what Xu Jiangang had was actually the approval slip stamped by the top leader of Yangcheng, allowing him to do business.
"Captain Xu, thank you. This really solves our urgent need." Shen Chuning took the note gratefully.
Xu Jiangang smiled naively, "I'm glad I can help you.
By the way, Comrade Shen, I have to ask you to keep this matter confidential for me and don’t tell Comrade Zhou. ”
Shen Chuning: …
Xu Jiangang scratched the back of his head with some disappointment, “Comrade Zhou said that he didn’t want to have anything to do with me anymore, so…Comrade Shen, please, please keep it a secret for me.”
In this case, Shen Chuning could only agree to Xu Jiangang's request first.
After saying goodbye to Xu Jiangang, she took the slip and went to the store immediately to tell Zhou Ya the good news.
As soon as she walked into the alley where Zhou Ya's shop was located, she heard a noise.
She had a bad feeling in her heart and hurriedly took a few steps forward, only to see that Zhou Ya's shop was surrounded by people.
"Hurry up, move all her things and take her away!
Blatant speculation and capitalism! Do you still have the law in your eyes? ”
The scolding sound reached Shen Chuning's ears.
Then came Zhou Ya's argument, "Don't touch my things!
The great Marx once said, "Seven up and eight down." Only when you employ more than eight people can you be considered a capitalist who appropriates the surplus value of the workers.
I don't employ anyone. I'm just a small business owner who sells my labor. You can't say I'm a capitalist! ”
"You are not a capitalist, but you are also a speculator. You will go to jail just the same! Here you go!"
A ferocious man with middle-parted hair snatched a piece of cloth from Zhou Ya's arms and said.
Shen Chu Ning quickly pushed through the crowd and went in, "Who said that our small business is speculation?
Our leaders have given us permission to do business and prepare for the pilot program of reform and opening up. ”
As Shen Chu Ning squeezed in, he had already taken out the approval slip.
The greasy man with a middle-parted belly who had just snatched the cloth from Zhou Ya looked at the approval note in Shen Chuning's hand with some suspicion.
After seeing it clearly, his expression changed immediately, and he said with a flattering smile: "Hey, comrade, did you get the approval to open the store?
Why didn’t you say it earlier? Isn't this a misunderstanding? ”
As he spoke, he called out to his men, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and put down our comrades' things.
Lay them out for me. ”
Shen Chuning walked to Zhou Ya and held her hand.
Zhou Ya had just struggled with those people to protect her things, and her body was still shaking slightly.
"Sister, it's okay." Shen Chuning comforted Zhou Ya softly.
Zhou Ya tried hard to control her emotions and nodded.
After those people put Zhou Ya's things back in a neat place, the man with the middle part said to the neighbors who were watching the fun before he left: "If you need to cut clothes or mend clothes in the future, come to this house.
They have approval slips, they are formal! ”
When the neighbors who were watching the fun heard the words of the middle-parted man, they all looked at each other in surprise.
Some people have even been whispering and speculating about Shen Chuning and Zhou Ya's background.
However, Shen Chuning did not take these to heart. She only noticed that someone in the crowd had a flash of resentment in his eyes and was about to leave quietly.
There was a flash of coldness in Shen Chu Ning’s eyes.
She originally thought that since they were all neighbors, they could compete fairly even if they were doing the same business, and she didn't want to make enemies with anyone.
But now that the other party is resorting to such dirty tactics as reporting her, don't blame her for being rude.
Shen Chuning said loudly: "Comrade, I also want to report that someone is speculating and profiteering!"
As soon as she said this, several neighbors present couldn't help but become nervous.
Shen Chu Ning knew that these people were also doing small businesses.
If her report implicated all these people, it would cause public outrage in the area.
