Chapter 99 [99] The ending.
Shen Yu took a cautious step forward, pushing Tang Yuanyuan behind him and saying, "You can talk to me."
Tang An tilted his head to the side: "Sister, are you so cowardly? You even dare not listen to Mom?"
Today was the most devastating day in Tang An's life. On the day when he was closest to success, he failed, and he would never have a chance to get back on his feet again.
The blow was devastating.
Because the most difficult part of doing business is actually the accumulation of initial funds, and after experiencing the days in the cloud, Tang An can no longer swallow his pride and start from scratch as an ordinary employee.
At this moment, Tang An has lost confidence in the future. He is like a broken jar, not caring about anything else. If he misses this opportunity, Tang Yuanyuan feels that he will never have the chance to hear it again.
She had nothing to be afraid of. She stepped out from behind Shen Yu and said, "You talk, I'm listening."
not enough.
The distance is still not enough.
Tang An didn't move forward, nor did he ask Tang Yuanyuan to come closer. Instead, he said, "No matter how I look at your face, I find it disgusting."
"I've hated you since I was a kid."
"Of all the family members, you're the most fussy. Even when grandma asks you to wash the dishes, you drag me along for the whole day. The words you keep saying all the time are about unfairness and favoring boys over girls."
"Which sister doesn't take care of her younger brother? Which sister doesn't do housework? Only you always compete with me." She will cry if her milk feeds him alone, and she is not happy to do housework.
In fact, in real life, women are hated and attacked in the process of pursuing fairness, and are often given titles such as "slutty girl" and "wild girl".
Because she will disrupt the balance in the family and is the one who makes the most unpeaceful voices.
Tang Yuanyuan: "So, you can't wait to urge Dad to marry me off?"
Tang An said with a smile: "Don't you understand? No one in the Tang family likes you except your mother. You are a troublemaker. Your father doesn't like you, your second uncle and your third uncle don't like you. This is what everyone wants to see."
Tang Yuanyuan: "What about Mom? Mom never complains and is always the one who works the hardest at home. Why don't you want to see her get divorced?"
"Why do you want a divorce? Why do you want to abandon me?" Tang An said, "She is a mother. She should take care of her children and do her part."
If his mother got divorced, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
What's more, grandpa, who needed money the most, has passed away. Dad has a salary and can support the family. Why do they want to divorce? It's not like they can't live anymore. It's all because of Tang Yuanyuan.
If he dared to divorce her, he would never recognize her as his mother.
Tang Yuanyuan probably understood: "So, you blame her because she can't balance her family and selling buns. If she can balance her family, there won't be those conflicts."
Tang An: "Isn't it? Dad is a grown man and can't do housework. Shouldn't she take good care of the family?"
Tang Yuanyuan's heart was twisted in anger. "Mom is a human, not a machine. Doesn't she get tired? Can't you see her grievances?"
Tang An: "Everyone is tired and aggrieved. She is not your mother alone. Why should she only consider you?"
No wonder, Xu Xiaofeng said, her mother was a little worried and absent-minded those days, but she was always in a hurry to come and go, and she would go home on time to cook.
Because of Tang An, she saw no hope of divorce.
How desperate her mother must have felt at that time. She almost died, but she had to endure the nausea and go back to serving Tang Aiguo.
She still had the courage to break free from Tang Aiguo's selfishness, but she was defeated by the flesh she gave birth to.
She would never be able to let go of Tang An.
"You beast!"
Tang Yuanyuan's head was buzzing, hatred was burning in her heart and throat. She took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe and slapped Tang An in the face.
Tang An did not dodge. At this moment, he raised his hand, pointed the fork at Tang Yuanyuan's neck and stabbed it.
Let’s die together!
Why, as my sister, don't you take care of me and let me live such a hard life?
It was all her fault. She completely took his mother away, causing his father to become sick and leaving him alone to take care of him.
Li Mu saw the fork and kicked Tang An in the stomach.
But it was only a moment, and no one saw the fork in Tang An's sleeve at first.
Too fast.
Li Mu's pupils shrank. Tang An's fork pierced the back of one of his hands. Shen Yu's hand just landed on Tang Yuanyuan's neck when he was kicked in the stomach by Li Mu. The fork left his hand and he fell backwards. The fork pierced the back of Shen Yu's hand.
Tang An stared at the fork with resentment, his hand clenched into a fist, veins throbbing, but he didn't hit the target!
Someone actually blocked me.
"Sister, sister, why...why are you so lucky?!"
It is obvious that he is the most outstanding child, who is good at studying and pleasing others. His father is the main breadwinner in the family, so he can please his father in every way and ranked first in the school in the high school entrance examination.
If his father hadn't held him back and insisted on getting his grandfather treated, if his mother hadn't died, and if Tang Yuanyuan had continued to support him, he would have been the most promising child in Chuncheng Lane.
All these successes should be his.
Was Tang Yuanyuan born to be his nemesis?
Tang An could not accept his defeat to Tang Yuanyuan, and even more so, he could not accept becoming a prisoner, so when Li Mu kicked him again with red eyes, he stood up with the help of the wall, opened the window, and jumped down.
Unfortunately, this hotel was a suburban resort-style hotel with only three floors, and he was blocked by tree branches. He did not die from the fall, but was disabled. This meant that he would have to spend the rest of his life lying in bed, spending the rest of his life like a disabled person.
The doctor said that Shen Yu's hand had only a skin injury. Luckily, the fork avoided the meridians and only pierced the flesh, leaving a three-centimeter wound. He just needed to rest.
Mrs. Shen's eyes were still red and swollen from crying.
Tang Yuanyuan felt very guilty: "Auntie, it's all my fault that he got into trouble. I'm sorry, you should blame me."
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Shen sighed and said, "Although I feel sorry for Xiaoyu, this account cannot be blamed on you. He is your husband and he should protect his wife."
"How hard it must be for you to have such a reckless brother."
"It's okay, it's all over. Xiaoyu will treat you well in the future."
Tang Yuanyuan believed that most people would feel more sorry for their own son, and even if they knew she was innocent, it would be difficult for them not to vent their anger on her.
Shen Yu's family is really nice.
Mrs. Shen asked, "However, my hand is injured. Should we postpone the engagement banquet tomorrow for a few days? It doesn't look good with a bandage on my hand."
Tang Yuanyuan can come any day.
Shen Yu said firmly: "If you don't change it, then tomorrow."
Shen Yi smiled and hugged Tang Yuanyuan and joked: "This is a true love story of blood and tears."
In the ward, the family was chatting and laughing, while Li Mu was leaning against the wall and smoking.
Suddenly, Tang Yuanyuan came out, snatched the cigarette from his fingers, and threw it on the ground: "Why learn to smoke when there are so many other things to learn? I think you deserve to be punished."
Li Mu snorted again: "Tomorrow, what time, and which hotel?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Do you want to come over?"
Li Mu frowned and said, "It depends on my mood."
Tang Yuanyuan gave the address.
Tang Yuanyuan is alone, and all the guests at the engagement party are Shen Yu's relatives.
Mrs. Shen saw that the auspicious time was approaching and all the relatives and friends had arrived. "Child, shall we start the feast?"
Tang Yuanyuan looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall and said, "Wait five more minutes. My family hasn't arrived yet."
family?
Isn’t one in the hospital and the other has Alzheimer’s and is being taken care of by the Kong family?
Mrs. Shen was about to ask clearly when the young man stood at the entrance with a relaxed look on his face.
He was dressed formally in a white shirt, black suit pants, and a cashmere coat. He walked in slowly and asked, "My dear family, which table are you sitting at?"
Tang Yuanyuan replied: "The main table."
Shen Yu curled his lips, reached out, held Tang Yuanyuan's hand, and interlocked their fingers.
Tang Yuanyuan was on winter vacation at this time, and the next day she and Shen Yu flew back to Yucheng to visit Zhang Lancao's grave.
She comes back twice a year, during the Chinese New Year and Qingming Festival, so the tomb is not overgrown with weeds and is well maintained.
Tang Yuanyuan seemed to see the black and white photo on the tombstone smile and his eyes were full of joy.
Her mother must be happy for her.
Zhou Wei's mother also took good care of the yard, and everything was kept as it was.
The furnishings here are simple: a bed with a wooden plank and an iron frame, a small table by the window with a mirror that also serves as a desk, a wardrobe against the wall, and no other furniture.
There were several cardboard boxes with neatly stacked textbooks inside, and all the first-grade textbooks were still intact.
There were several pairs of cloth shoes that looked quite new placed in the bag. It was obvious that this was a poor home and the hostess was trying her best to give the girl more material comforts.
Shen Yu had never seen such a simple room.
But this room belonged to her fiancée.
He held her in his arms, his cheek against her hair, and said something silly: "If only there were a next life, I wish you were born in Shanghai, you would have a better family, and we could have met earlier."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Not good."
"Then Mom wouldn't be my mom anymore."
Although the Tang family members are all very bad, my mother is good.
If I am no longer my mother's daughter, who will protect her?
If there is a next life, she hopes to be born in the Tang family again, make a lot of money, and take her mother away from this cruel family.
Shen Yu kissed her gently. Although she gave all her love to her mother, it didn't matter. He had a lot of love and would always give her a lot.
Mrs. Wu was in jail, still insisting that it was Li Mu who robbed her money. In fact, the police no longer cared about the matter. Tang Yuanyuan finally went to see Wu Chuang's wife.
This five-year-old child looked only as big as other three-year-old children. His lips were an abnormally light blue and his eyes were timid.
Wu Chuang's wife has changed a lot since she was five years old. She looks much older. "When my husband had the accident, I couldn't sleep all night. Later, when I knew he wouldn't die, I was finally able to sleep well. I don't know if it was because of this that the child's heart didn't develop well... Later, he died. Everyone said he was a murderer, and everyone distanced themselves from us. As adults, we were looked down upon, but it was mainly the children. Those half-grown children always bullied my child. He didn't have any playmates, so every time he could only watch others play with grievance."
"These aren't the worst things. All the money at home is gone. My mother-in-law can only do odd jobs like washing dishes. I can go to work in a factory, but I have to work 12 hours a day. My mother-in-law has to take care of the child alone. The little money we earn is spent on the child. I can't save enough money for the surgery..."
Tang An came to the door before and promised to cure the child and go to a big city for surgery.
But now Tang An is in trouble and they have no money. They can't even afford the hospital bills, so they have to bring the child back.
Tang Yuanyuan pointed at the palm of her hand and made a decision: "The feud between our two families ends here."
"I'll pay for your son's surgery. Go to the prison and tell your mother-in-law what to do. Do you understand?"
Wu Chuang's wife was stunned for a moment, then realized something and tears came to her eyes, "Oh!"
Then he said, "Thank you, thank you so much."
Mrs. Wu had been sent back to her hometown to be imprisoned. Wu Chuang's wife could only talk to her over the phone: "...Tang Yuanyuan gave me money. I want to take care of the child and go to the city for surgery."
Wu held the phone tightly around his neck, his lips trembling, tears streaming down his face. "...I know. I'm doing my best to get out as soon as possible, take care of my grandson, and start living our lives again."
"Ah! Let us start our lives anew."
He added: "I've decided on a name for the child. Let's call him Yong. I hope he grows up to be brave enough to face life. If he makes a mistake, he can bravely take responsibility for it. Don't try to take shortcuts. Don't be like his dad, and definitely don't be like me."
"Mom, I'll listen to you."

After the Chinese New Year, Tang Yuanyuan opened up the franchise rights for Yunduo Mijing. The stores expanded rapidly and soon reached a scale sufficient for listing on the Growth Enterprise Market.
At that time, Liu Lijuan was a team leader in a securities company. She followed her supervisor to the office to meet clients, and that's how she met Tang Yuanyuan.
Liu Lijuan was stunned. She really didn't expect that Tang Yuanyuan was the founder of Yunduo Mijing.
Thinking back on her past, Liu Lijuan felt it was childish and absurd: "I used to think I was so great because I was the vice chairman, and vice chairman of Fudan University at that. But after entering society, I realized I was just an ordinary person."
When she first lost to Yunduo Mijing, she was very unwilling to accept it, so she took the plan to find Mr. Chen. The project was indeed established, but after only a few months, she lost to a top student from Tsinghua University and was kicked out of the team. Later, she calmed down and honestly found an internship at this company, starting as a coffee waiter. In two years, she barely became a team leader.
Now, Tang Yuanyuan has just graduated from college, and many people have just found jobs, but her chain store has already grown to the scale of being listed.
She laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Before, I didn't know how great the heavens were. If you mind, you can assign someone else to do the environmental research."
Tang Yuanyuan hardly remembered the past. In the past few years, she had been studying and starting her own business at the same time. Every day was very fulfilling, and she didn't care about irrelevant things at all. Besides, Liu Lijuan was very different now. "Just do it. I still believe in your work ability."
Liu Lijuan was very grateful, but when she thought about the past, she felt even more ashamed.
A year later, Yunduo Mijing was successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Tang Yuanyuan's wealth increased more than tenfold, and she became a billionaire and the youngest female CEO of a listed company in the history of Fudan University. This news immediately spread throughout the alumni association.
Zhang Li had just found her fourth job, working as a team member at a smaller company. She said disdainfully, "What's so surprising about that? Don't you see who she married, Mr. Shen? She still relies on men. If I married a husband like that, I'd definitely be able to start a listed company."
When Liu Lijuan heard her classmates say this later, she just found it funny.
There are so many rich men and their wives, most of whom serve as foils to the rich, but few of them have built listed companies.
Why is it a stain for a woman to accept help from a man, and why does the element of success become a husband to rely on?
Tang Yuanyuan's vision is by no means short-sighted. When she became proud of her achievements, she had already accurately grasped the essence of rapid replication.
On the day of the successful listing, all the senior executives of Yunduo were celebrating, but the founder Tang Yuanyuan was absent. He was not in the company and no one could find him.
At that time, Shen Yu was accompanying her in a soda factory, and Tang Yuanyuan was sipping a bottle of soda.
Shen Yu asked, "Are you sure you want to acquire this factory? You are now fully qualified to enter the real estate industry."
Now the whole country is carrying out demolition and urbanization construction, and the profits from real estate are very high. Tang Yuanyuan was obviously very interested in it before and spent a lot of time to learn about it.
Tang Yuanyuan said firmly: "I'm sure."
"Real estate does have high profits, but when I think about how ordinary people have to spend half their lives to afford a house, I'm not that interested in it anymore."
"I have more money than I can spend. I don't want to be an entrepreneur who only cares about money. If I take on some social responsibilities, I will feel more fulfilled."
It's a pity for this soda factory. The soda they make is very delicious and Tang Yuanyuan drinks it often. Now they are in the same predicament. Foreign capital is pouring in and their brand has been acquired. They originally thought they would take off by riding on the shoulders of an international giant, but the buyout was made to prevent them from producing and to make way for foreign-funded soda and cola.
This kind of foreign capital swallowing up domestic enterprises happens every day in cities large and small across the country.
Tang Yuanyuan used to drink this brand frequently and liked it very much. She wanted to keep the domestic soft drink business and compete with foreign capital for this market share.
Shen Yu had no objection. He took her hand and said, "I know you can do it. Go sign the contract."
Tang Yuanyuan: "If I lose money, just support me."
Shen Yu smiled: "You have to kiss me."
Tang Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked at the man beside her with a tender gaze.
This was the eighth year they had known each other. She had once thought that God was heartless, but it turned out that he was so kind.
Everything in this world is so good.
The main text is over.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: In the early years, I watched many entrepreneur sharing sessions in the 1990s. Some of the well-known female entrepreneurs burst into tears at the sharing sessions, because starting a business is really hard, especially for female entrepreneurs who have to start a business while taking care of their children. The difficulty in the early days is almost the limit of human beings. It is really great.
In fact, most women cannot leave their families, just like Zhang Lancao. She lives an ordinary and tolerant life and has no chance to let the world see her. She disappears into thin air, just like many ordinary women. But she is still great. She is actually the cornerstone that supports the heroine. It is because of her that the heroine knows how to fight for it. The influence of the heroine's mother on her is subtle.
In the extra if line, it is Zhang Lancao's turn to shine. Her mother is wise, but she has too many restrictions and denials, so she has never had any opportunities to move forward, let alone resources. Similarly, she does not need a golden finger. Her many advantages can allow her to make a name for herself.
