Li Yu and Wu Guizhi knocked on the door of the small western-style building.
Unfortunately, He Zongxi was also there that day.
Not only He Zongxi was there, but Lin Yumin was also there.
This spring, He Zongxi cooperated with Lin Yumin to plant hundreds of acres of cotton at the Red Star Farm.
Nowadays, farmers usually sell their cotton directly to state-owned spinning mills, where they get the price of coarse material, which is much lower than that of growing grain. But if the cotton can be spun into yarn, the price can be multiplied many times. If it can be woven into cloth, dyed with patterns, made into clothes, or just sold as cloth, the price can be multiplied several times.
For honest people like Lin Yuminhe Farm who make their living from the price of coarse feed, being able to grow cotton on wasteland and actually harvest it and sell it for money is already something that can make them smile.
Of course, I never thought about spinning or weaving.
But He Zongxi was different. His He family only collected cotton and had never done such stupid things as selling cotton.
So seeing that autumn was approaching and the cotton would be harvested in a few months, he persuaded Lin Yumin and Lin Yumin's father to go to the provincial capital to operate the spinning machine.
Now Lin Yumin's father trusts him, and Lin Yumin treats him as closely as a brother.
After his divorce from Han Qinqin, Lin Yumin was depressed for a while. Fortunately, he followed He Zongxi and started a cotton business, which finally brought his attention to that field. Because the cotton grew well, he became more energetic and thriving, just like the cotton.
Therefore, Lin Yumin's father was also grateful to He Zongxi, and hoped that his honest son could learn more from He Zongxi.
He realized that as long as his son could learn some skills from this boy, it would be enough for him to live on for the rest of his life.
So when He Zongxi wanted to come to the provincial capital to run the spinning machine business, Lin Yumin's father not only did not object, but also asked him to bring Lin Yumin with him.
The person who opened the door at this moment was He Zongxi.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about He Zongxi's appearance and temperament.
He Zongxi is a typical rich young master.
Although he grew up after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it did not prevent him from having a handsome and noble face, and he also had a free and easy demeanor that no one else could match.
These years on the farm did not turn him into a farmer, but instead made the nobleman into more steady and mature.
So this man is now a nobleman with great charisma and is very attractive to women.
When Wu Guizhi saw that it was such a handsome young man who opened the door, she became even more embarrassed.
Li Yu had seen He Zongxi from afar before.
This will
When she looked closer, she felt even more uneasy.
Otherwise, why would she dislike Su Ruo?
Obviously, they have been working in the countryside for several years. Even the most beautiful girls will inevitably become roughened and come back with a sense of vicissitudes and heaviness...such as Han Qinqin.
But Su Ruo is not like that.
I heard that she had been an educated youth for many years, and even though she was so beautiful, she had never been abused by anyone.
She didn't get into university by being pretty, but by being ranked first in the college. As soon as she came back, she became the apple of the eye of the college leaders and professors.
Even when she was pregnant, she still received various opportunities and preferential treatments.
Not only that, she didn't know what was going on with her lover who was a soldier.
But as soon as she entered the school, she lived a life that no one else could envy... Even though Li Yu came from a well-off family, it was still amazing, as it was simply the life of the ladies of the exploiting class in the past... But the school leaders seemed to be selectively blind.
As for her, she didn't see her man, but she saw Yuan Chengyang and He Zongxi following her several times.
At first, Li Yu didn't know Yuan Chengyang, but now she knows that Yuan Chengyang is the director of Qingcheng First Design Institute. He is the son of Professor Shu Yuelan, a national expert. Now, at a young age, he is the person in charge of several major architectural design projects in the province.
The He Zongxi in front of me...may have been a capitalist bastard that everyone looked down upon last year, but this year, national policies have been implemented one after another to return the assets to the He family...what does that mean?
So Li Yu really couldn't stand Su Ruo.
She was obviously married and had a burden... But He Zongxi didn't mind and kept Su Ruo and the burden together in the small western-style building...
Li Yu was stunned when he saw that it was He Zongxi who opened the door. His eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Comrade, may I ask if classmate Su Ruo lives here? This lady said she is classmate Su Ruo's mother-in-law, and she went to the dormitory to look for someone. Su Ruo doesn't live in the school now. I heard that she lives here, so I brought them here to ask."
He Zongxi is a smart guy.
The scheming and calculation on Li Yu's face were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
He didn't answer Li Yu, but turned around and looked at Wu Guizhi and Han Jialin's family of three.
Of course, he did not ignore Wu Guizhi's drooping mouth corners, fierce expression and eyes.
Wu Guizhi said nothing.
Wu Jiaoyan had long been dazzled by the beautiful courtyard, the grand little Western-style building, and He Zongxi in front of her. When she saw He Zongxi looking over, she seemed afraid that he didn't believe her, so she quickly continued Li Yu's words and said, "Hey, comrade, I am Wu Jiaoyan, and Su Ruo is my second sister-in-law."
She pushed the man and child beside her and said, "This is my husband and son, Su Ruo's second brother and nephew... Alas, we set out in the middle of the night before dawn and have been running all day. We haven't had a hot meal yet, and the children are still hungry. Comrade, can you let us go in and talk first?"
He Zongxi suddenly smiled.
With a hint of irony.
He had no doubt about the identities of the people in front of him.
He and Han Zecheng were middle school classmates.
Even though Han Zecheng was a taciturn person and never talked about family matters, he still knew some things.
Perhaps Wu Guizhi no longer remembers.
In fact, he had met Wu Guizhi once.
When she was in the first grade of junior high school, Wu Guizhi ran to the school to find Han Zecheng and cried and made a scene, scolding him for not going home. Later, Han Zecheng saved up his living expenses and promised to give her two yuan a month, and then he sent her away...
Han Zecheng is not someone who will compromise easily.
He asked him why, and he said that if he told his father about it, his father would give the woman more money, and he didn't want to do that. Rather than letting him owe his father, it would be better for his mother to owe him.
He probably didn't want Wu Guizhi to go to his house and be laughed at by his stepmother and her children.
At this time, Han Zecheng went to the border and hadn't returned for several months.
Su Ruo, who was pregnant, lived here with Guo Guo... Even if Su Ruo was not worried, he would be worried if a woman like this and her family came into the house.
If anything happened to Su Ruo or the baby in her belly...
But Su Ruo lives here.
It is not appropriate for him to get rid of these people.
He turned around and called out, "Auntie Zhang, a distant relative is here to look for Su Ruo."
When Aunt Zhang heard He Zongxi's sarcastic shouting, she came out of the kitchen.
Then, he saw his young master putting his hands on the door frame and knocking intermittently... The tone of his voice, the expression on his face, and the actions showed that his young master was very impatient and hated visitors.
She looked at the group of people at the door suspiciously.
How did Miss Ruoruo's distant relative offend Master Zongxi?
He Zongxi waited for Zhang Ma to come over before turning his head to Li Yu and said, "Su Ruo is not at home right now. This classmate would like to thank you for your enthusiastic help. I specially brought Su Ruo's relatives here. I don't know what this classmate should call her so that Su Ruo can thank you later."
He Zongxi said this in a sarcastic tone.
But Li Yu couldn't hear it, and she even felt like she was being teased... Was he asking her what her name was?
Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, his face was a little hot, and he said, "My last name is Li, Li Yu, Muzi Li, Yu means loyal and faithful."
Speaking of this, it suddenly occurred to me that the way the word "渝" is introduced now really has a bit of a strange meaning.
He Zongxi said "Oh" and turned to look at Aunt Zhang.
Zhang's mother's face darkened, she looked at Li Yu seriously, and said in a tone of teaching but admonition: "Su Ruo is not here, this student please go back. Next time you take someone to someone else's house casually, you'd better ask clearly, otherwise we are not afraid. You are a little girl, don't attract anyone with bad intentions."
Li Yu hurriedly said: "No, no, I also think this lady is trustworthy."
Aunt Zhang said, "Oh," and said, "This student is really thoughtful. We are still busy today, so we won't greet this student."
Li Yu is not that stupid.
She finally understood the displeasure in Aunt Zhang's heart.
She was a little disappointed. She wanted to stay and watch the fun, but Aunt Zhang just stood there looking at her with a sharp look in her eyes, which made it clear that she wanted her to leave quickly. Even if she wanted to stay, she couldn't resist. She could only reluctantly leave Wu Guizhi her dormitory contact information, saying that they could come to her if they had any problems or difficulties. Then she looked at He Zongxi who was standing behind watching the show with bright eyes, and left reluctantly.
At first, Aunt Zhang didn't understand why Master Zong Xi was so angry today.
Now I finally understand.
This enthusiastic female classmate is obviously restless and full of malicious intent, and she even wants to seduce our young master Zong Xi!
Really all the taboos were violated.
Could the person she brought here be a good person?
Aunt Zhang once again cast a sharp look at Wu Guizhi and Han Jialin's family.
******
Let’s talk about Li Yu first.
Although Li Yu was half-driven away, she couldn't hide her excitement.
What's more, she also understood the unhappiness of the old lady and He Zongxi. How could they be happy to have a family like Su Ruo's to come to them?
So I was the one being angered.
She returned to the dormitory excitedly.
After returning to the dormitory, I became more and more excited when thinking about what happened today. I couldn't help but want to find someone to share it with.
Several of her roommates were there.
Han Qinqin is here too.
This time she did not choose to share this matter with Han Qinqin alone.
After all, those were all her speculations before, which were a bit shameful.
But today, she led Su Ruo's poor grandmother and her family to Fangyuan Road, and it was He Zongxi who opened the door!
There are facts to support this.
Moreover, ever since she gossiped about Su Ruo behind her back a few months ago, the relationship between her and Han Qinqin has deteriorated significantly.
Although she tried to coax Han Qinqin back later... there was no way, because Han Qinqin had a good family background and her father was a high-ranking official.
But for some reason, Han Qinqin became indifferent to her after that, and it was no use even if she coaxed and flattered her.
Li Yu is also a young lady, but she has never been bullied. It's okay to be coaxed once or twice, but she doesn't want to keep flattering others with her warm face.
So the relationship is a bit lukewarm.
At this time Li Yu told everyone directly in the dormitory.
She told the story of how her mother-in-law, her younger brother, her sister-in-law and their family from the countryside, who were rustic, poor and vulgar, found the school.
She said, "Well, that lady is Su Ruo's mother-in-law, her husband's mother, but they didn't even know that Su Ruo lived outside the school, let alone that she lived in such a nice little Western-style building. When they entered the little Western-style building, their eyes almost popped out."
"Also, don't be fooled by the fact that Su Ruo usually dresses up brightly and beautifully, drinks all kinds of chicken and fish soups every day, and eats all kinds of snacks and fruits that are different every day, but you don't know that her mother-in-law and her family are dressed so pitifully. They are all wearing homespun clothes without any patches. I guess they wore good clothes specially for going to the city! I heard them say earlier that they got up before dawn to go to the city today. They didn't even have a hot meal or water to eat or drink all day. It's really pitiful."
"And, do you know? Today we went to the small western-style building where Su Ruo lived, and the one who opened the door was actually a young man. I heard that he was the owner of the small western-style building. Do you know the He family? They were the big capitalists in our S Province before liberation. They used to have thousands of acres of land in the suburbs to grow cotton, and they opened several large factories for textile production. There were thousands of workers in the factories."
Li Yu went on talking in circles, making innuendos for a long time.
The more he talked, the more explicit it became.
Han Qinqin had been sitting at the table reading a book, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the book on the table with a "bang".
The people in the dormitory were all shocked and excited when they heard what Li Yu said.
They were all shocked by Han Qinqin's move.
Han Qinqin threw the book away and shouted at Li Yu, who was also startled and stopped talking: "What do you mean by talking for such a long time?"
The tone was cold and condescending.
Li Yu's face suddenly turned red.
She was unhappy and said: "It's not obvious
? She had previously spread the rumor that her lover was an officer in the army, and that the person living in the small Western-style building was a relative of hers. Tsk, what relatives? It’s obvious that the man she married was a poor soldier from the countryside. After he was admitted to university, he despised him and got together with a capitalist named He. Maybe the child in her belly is from that capitalist, otherwise she would have such good food and accommodation...”
With a "slap", she was slapped hard in the face before she could finish her words.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, covering his face and staring at Han Qinqin in disbelief.
The people in the dormitory were also shocked by this scene.
Han Qinqin was so angry that she yelled at her, "Keep your mouth shut!"
Li Yu has never been beaten by anyone since he was a child.
Now, Han Qinqin slapped him in front of everyone in the dormitory!
She was so ashamed and angry that her teeth were trembling. After a long while, she yelled at Han Qinqin, "Are you crazy? Who is Su Ruo to you? It's so obvious, and you hit me for her?"
As he spoke, tears began to fall.
She continued to cry and curse, "Is Su Ruo your ancestor? She did such a shameless thing and you beat me for it? Or do you empathize with her? You were both sent down to the countryside to live a better life, so you married a local bumpkin, and now you come back to study in college, and you kick him out..."
With a "slap", Han Qinqin slapped him again.
Everyone in the dormitory was stunned by this scene.
I was shocked by the fact that Han Qinqin beat Li Yu.
They were also shocked by Li Yu's words... They had no idea that Han Qinqin had been married and divorced in the countryside.
Li Yu knew this, of course, not because Han Qinqin told her, but because she learned it from her uncle who was an official.
Han Qinqin was also furious.
She stared at Li Yu intently and said word by word: "She is not my ancestor."
"Oh, haven't you always wanted to know what her relationship is to me? Then let me tell you who she is now. Yes, she is indeed related to me, but she is not my ancestor, but my eldest sister-in-law. The poor native who served as a soldier in your mouth, the country bumpkin, is my eldest brother!"
Li Yu:......? ? ?
Her head buzzed and she even forgot the burning pain on her face.
Han Qinqin's sister-in-law!
Who is Han Qinqin's father? He is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
Although others didn't know about Han Qinqin's older brother, she had heard about him from her uncle.
Because she was angry with Han Qinqin, she once complained to her uncle, saying, "Didn't Han Qinqin's father say he was going to retire?" Both her brother and she are incompetent, and she is also a second marriage, so it is impossible for her to marry a good man. Once her father retires, the Han family will definitely be in trouble.
But her uncle gave her a good scolding.
Although Han Qinqin's second brother probably doesn't have much of a future, her eldest brother definitely has a bright future in the army... He was promoted to deputy regiment commander before he was 30 years old, and he is capable and has military merits. He has countless old friends and comrades-in-arms of his father, so his future prospects are definitely immeasurable.
Su Ruo is Han Qinqin's sister-in-law...
Her mind was rumbling. Thinking about what she had said and the rumors she had spread at school, she broke out in a cold sweat and her whole body felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over it.
