Tian Daying tried everything to reason with her, saying, "I first tried to persuade her to leave the child with her mother-in-law. She said it was her own granddaughter, so why would she kill her?"
"We tried everything to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen and even kicked us out. Can you believe this little girl is acting like that?"
Haiyan, who was criticized for not knowing how to behave, also had a hard time after returning to her parents' home.
My mother left with my brother, leaving her alone in the old house.
She took her daughter and returned to the place where she grew up. "She cleaned up the dilapidated house, drew well water to wash the floor and clothes, and swept the house clean."
Who wouldn't like a daughter-in-law like that?
So even though Tian Daying complained, he still wanted to marry Haiyan off to his nephew. "She goes and goes, but she never smiles. Who is she trying to impress with that long face? I just want her to have a good life."
Tian Daying's nephew sells beef soup on the street. He has two stalls, and he makes a hundred or two hundred yuan a day. She doesn't need to go hungry or cold.
As long as she gets rid of Su Tao, everything will be fine.
Tian Daying's nephew is Sun Lifang's cousin.
And just like that, they matched up. "Then they're relatives! Come on, let's go have some soup." Liu Qing, who never misses a good show, insisted on going over to have some soup.
Sun Lifang hadn't been back for a long time, so how would she know where her cousin's shop was located in the vegetable market?
Furthermore, "Find a place to park your car first. How can you drive in here?"
The military jeep has a very high base, and when parked on the street, it looks like a small house—tall, imposing, and very conspicuous.
After circling around, there was nowhere to park. "The streets are full of stalls, it's already crowded outside, how can we drive in?"
Unable to drive in, Sun Lifang looked at the uneven ground. The market had been built with cement platforms, and the roads were confusing. What if she couldn't find a place to park and then get lost again?
What's so difficult about that?
Liu Qing made a phone call. They were in charge of publicity, so parking in the open space in front of the county government should be fine, right?
After parking the car in the open space, Liu Qing closed a leather notebook, about the size of a key card, which was filled with numbers.
"We're all comrades, let's ask a comrade to give us a boost, and then we'll go for a drive."
After getting off the car, someone came over. Liu Qing exchanged a few pleasantries with him and refused to stay at the guesthouse, saying, "We just came to visit and have some fun. You don't need to worry about us."
How can we ignore this?
Who is Liu Qing? Forget about the inspection team or anything like that, everyone understood each other perfectly. They exchanged glances, and someone came over to lead the way, speaking very tactfully, "Are you looking for someone? It's not a busy day, and it's past lunchtime. You're unfamiliar with the area, so let me show you around."
Those words are exactly what a seasoned veteran of officialdom would say.
It seems like they haven't said anything, but they've said everything, even getting your needs pretty much right.
Further ahead in the new rural area is a market. Normally, people only set up stalls and sell their wares when the market is open.
The time Sun Lifang and her group arrived was precisely when everyone was packing up and closing their shops in the afternoon—
What are we playing?
Haven't they ever done this in Shanghai?
The guide immediately guessed that they had come to look for someone.
"You're making a scene just for a bowl of beef soup." Sun Lifang glared at Liu Qing. With a "guide" leading the way, it was hard for them to stand out.
Beef soup is a local specialty, and there's a shop like that on every street.
After many twists and turns, Sun Lifang arrived at her cousin's shop and ordered a large bowl of beef soup for Liu Qing, "with vermicelli and bean cakes, all the ingredients, and make it a bit strong in flavor."
Bright green scallions floated on the clear broth. Liu Qing, as if nothing had happened, came over to observe someone else's "second marriage."
Sun Lifang thought that after hearing about Haiyan's story, she would reflect on her own "pickiness," but she didn't expect her to be so relaxed and carefree.
The opposite of what one would expect suggests a degree of anxiety.
But seeing the guide's attitude towards Liu Qing, Sun Lifang suddenly understood—
Liu Qing is different from Haiyan.
Liu Qing could decide the fate of others with a wave of his hand, while Haiyan could only wait for her fate to be decided by others.
One has the right to choose automatically, while the other believes it has the "right to choose actively."
Haiyan fell in love with that college student. Sun Lifang overheard her cousin saying, "She fell in love with him just because he took her daughter to the hospital for a checkup."
The naive young girl, who had never seen much of the world, was overjoyed by the small amount of material things she received.
In reality, they jumped from one trap into another.
Without claws, it's easy to fall in, but difficult to get out.
Many people are curious: "Why would a college student watch Haiyan?"
While others were unaware, Sun Lifang, who had been reborn, knew perfectly well: "Haiyan's family's homestead must be worth a lot of money, right?"
What's the point of college students getting into university?
He uses all his intelligence to scheme against people.
Haiyan's relatives have all passed away and will never come back. Who will get that piece of land?
Sun Lifang knew that soon the new rural areas would be uniformly relocated to another area, which would facilitate management and allow the government to provide everyone with renovation funds.
Haiyan's plot of land is worth at least 30,000 yuan.
Thirty thousand dollars was not a small amount in 1999.
If they make good use of their resources, Haiyan and her daughter can live a very comfortable life.
But the problem is that "Haiyan lacks the insight and courage to say: I will not marry, I want to spend my life with my daughter."
People can be changed by their environment.
Even the strongest person, under constant bombardment from those around them, will gradually waver from their original stance of not wanting to get married, and eventually follow the crowd to find a partner and have children.
