Chapter 59 059 Mother and daughter going in opposite directions & knowing what she is... As soon as Jin Yue agreed, Li Yulan hurried to the factory to find Shang Guangming and asked him to call his cousin Shang Shuming, saying that there was a very good doctor here who could treat the young lady.
Shang Shuming's task is to persuade the eldest lady to come first. As long as she can come, Jin Yue will have a chance. As for whether she can be cured, no one can guarantee it. Anyway, they will leave if they can't be cured. If they can be cured, maybe he can use this to keep them.
But in Shang Guangming's opinion, Li Yulan and Shu Jinyue's ideas are relatively simple.
"You are too naive. This kind of cross-border cooperation is not just about curing a disease and keeping the patient here. It also involves a lot of economic and political issues. There are many factors to consider when starting or stopping a project... In short, if you don't understand, don't get involved."
Li Yulan's eyes were red. "Do you think I have no education and no culture?"
Shang Guangming was confused. "I didn't say that. We are talking about the TV factory now. It has nothing to do with whether you dislike me or not."
See, even if he didn’t say directly that he didn’t mind, the fact is that he does!
Li Yulan's eyes got redder. "Okay, yes, yes, you are a doctor. Everyone says I am illiterate, but I know a lot of words. Outsiders think I am uneducated, you know that. Oh, yes, you are right to dislike me. I never went to school properly. Let's get a divorce."
Shang Guangming was completely confused. Why would the matter of the TV factory be equated with divorce? These are two completely unrelated things, right?
"Comrade Li Yulan, although we are husband and wife, we are also in a cooperative relationship. We need to make the intention of the cooperation clear and..." blah blah, he dared to dissect marriage into cooperation.
The more he talked, the angrier Li Yulan became. When he said, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation," she stomped her foot and left.
The stinky man can go wherever he wants, she won’t serve him anymore! Cooperation? What cooperation? If you have the guts, pay her a salary. Do you think she likes to stay at home and stay around the stove?
They were talking at the entrance of the R&D department of the machinery factory. They were careful not to speak loudly at the beginning, but they forgot about the quarrel at the end. People passing by and those in the office heard it clearly. A big brother patted Shang Guangming on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Shang, how can you talk to your lover like that? Women don't like your personality."
Shang Guangming didn't understand, but he humbly asked for advice, "Then what should I say?"
"You should tell her right away that you don't dislike her and try to comfort her before she explodes. If she has already exploded, you can only wait to sleep on the sofa."
The other slightly younger married male colleagues gave him a look that said "May you be lucky" and the female colleagues suddenly felt balanced - see, so what if he's just a jerk? His words are so irritating that they can make people die. He's no better than the one at home who makes 30 yuan a month!
The elder brother winked and left. Xu Ping came down the stairs and said, "Xiao Shang, you are quarreling. I just heard you talking about a TV factory. Is it the inspection team from Japan that came last time?"
At that time, Shang Shuming and his friends came and visited the machinery factory. Xu Ping was responsible for the reception. Speaking of blood feuds, the Xu family and the Japanese are sworn enemies. Most of Xu Ping's five brothers and one sister were killed by the Japanese. When the province was selecting the reception personnel, he was directly excluded. It was Hu Guizhi who said a few words, saying that Xu Ping was an adult, knew what he represented, and would not act on impulse. Only then was he arranged to be included.
As it turned out, he did a really good job. He greeted everyone with a smile throughout the whole process, which not only demonstrated his rich professional knowledge but also played the role of a good host. When the members of the inspection team left Shilan Province, they sighed that if the economy of Shilan Province was not so poor and underdeveloped, they would prefer this place instead of Haicheng.
When Shang Guangming was asked, he told the truth. When talking about Shu Jinyue, he also deliberately emphasized that he was a young doctor in their compound who possessed magical "Oriental medical skills".
"I know Jin Yue. He is an excellent doctor. My wife has praised him many times." Xu Ping smiled. "How can we not want the Japanese technology? They wanted ours before, but now it's our turn to want theirs. But we Long people are warm, hospitable, humble and polite. We won't go to their homes with bayonets and rifles to rob them."
He was clearly laughing, but Shang Guangming could sense a hint of chill in his voice for no reason. Of course, he had only returned to China for a few years and was not curious about the gossip about the factory leaders' backgrounds, so he had no idea about that origin.
"How about this, give me the phone number of your brother, Mr. Shang Shuming, and I will shamelessly act as a lobbyist."
***
Jin Yue had been waiting for news since he returned home, thinking that this matter might not be something that Shang Guangming could resolve alone. The inspection team invited by the upper level was making a fuss about withdrawing, and now they must be mobilizing all their forces to retain them. It was not known whether the words of an unknown little engineer from Shilan Province could reach their ears.
Not to mention getting the other party to change their mind and stay.
She was a little worried, but there was nothing she could do. At her current level, she couldn't contact those people at all.
But Miss Yamaguchi Sachiko is Japanese, and there is someone who has returned from Japan with me.
When he saw Shu Jinyue again, Mo Shuyi could not hide his worry in his eyes. He asked about Xu Duan carefully, and after making sure that he sounded good, he became the elegant doctor Mo again. "Aren't you here to see your friend today? Are you here to see me?"
Jin Yue smiled and said, "Look at what you said. I came here specially to see you today."
Mo Shuyi also laughed, "Please come in, let's have a simple meal together."
Jin Yue readily agreed, and this time he was still the one rushing to pay and couldn't beat him.
"Please, Comrade Shu Jinyue, let me be a gentleman for once. If you want to treat me, didn't your boyfriend say the other day that he wanted to invite me to dinner? It's up to you or him to treat me then."
The two of them ate and chatted happily. Jin Yue asked him if he knew Miss Sachiko Yamaguchi, a Japanese electrical appliance entrepreneur.
"I don't know her and have never met her in person, but this young lady is very famous in Japan and is often in the newspapers."
Jin Yue raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Why?"
"How quickly she changes boyfriends."
It turns out that Sachiko Yamaguchi is different from young ladies like Grandma Hu. She is not love-brained. To use the words on mobile phones in later generations, she is a queen who can walk through a sea of flowers without getting hurt. She likes men from all walks of life, from government councilors to convenience store clerks, from older uncles to younger boys. Anyway, as long as the man is good-looking, she likes them.
But she gets bored with the old and falls in love with the new very quickly. She will break up after half a year or even a week.
Not to mention, Shu Jinyue was a little envious. This was probably a game for rich girls. If an ordinary girl changed boyfriends like this, she would have been bullied to death.
"No, there are exceptions. It seems that she and her first boyfriend lasted for a long time. They were dating for almost five years. Unfortunately, his father, Lao Yamaguchi, despised him for being an ordinary engineer and broke up the couple." Seeing that she was listening with relish, Mo Shuyi instantly felt like sharing gossip. "I also heard that she almost got together with her first love. She was pregnant, but then she had a car accident and lost the baby in her belly. At that time, my senior sister was responsible for sending her blood. Her blood type is very rare, RH negative blood."
The hospital where he was studying was exactly the one that rescued Yamaguchi Sachiko. "Her boyfriend didn't survive, and since then, the news about her changing boyfriends has been reported frequently."
"As for her hospitalization due to the car accident and her miscarriage, all the medical staff who came into contact with her were required to sign a confidentiality agreement, so no one outside knew about it."
Jin Yue said "Oh", East Asian countries are still relatively conservative, thinking that this is a "scandal" and that if it were exposed it would affect the company's stock price and would also affect her future marriage to a man of equal status.
"My senior sister still remembers that the car accident happened one month after the Tanabata Festival in Japan. She was discussing marriage with her boyfriend at that time and was on the verge of breaking up. However, she was deeply shocked when she saw the couple's eternal separation. She accepted her boyfriend's proposal that day."
Jin Yue smiled. She had never realized that Mo Shuyi also had a bit of gossip gene.
However, these people were too far away from him, so Jin Yue just listened to them as gossip and let it go. After dinner, they parted quickly because they both had to go to work.
Jin Yue returned to the unit and did not take this matter to heart. What she was thinking about now was how to make money with money. After moving, with some financial support from her parents and her salary in the past few months, she had saved a total of 500 yuan. It was enough for her to buy two bungalows, but a courtyard house was far from enough.
So, money cannot be saved, it still has to be earned.
Just as I was thinking about it, Kang Yongxin came over and said, "Jinyue should get off work soon. I have an appointment with Master Hu Rongsheng to meet in the park later. Are you free?"
Jin Yue groaned, thinking that he was so confused that he forgot about it. "I'm free, I'm free. Please wait for two minutes."
It was almost time to get off work, so she went to wash her hands first. Xinqiao Subdistrict Office was not far from Shucheng People's Park, and it only took 20 minutes to walk there. "There is still half an hour left before the agreed time, so she can make it in time."
"How come Master Kang has time to leave work early today?"
"I took half a day off and bought a new wheelchair for Yuqiong. I just came from home."
The two chatted and soon arrived at the agreed place. Kang Yongxin laughed and called out "Senior Brother Hu". Jin Yue hurriedly looked in the direction he was calling. There were five or six old men and a middle-aged man. She searched among the old men, wondering which one was Master Hu.
According to Kang Yongxin, Hu Rongsheng was nearly fifty years old and had always lived in poverty, with neither enough food nor warm clothes. An image of a little old man with a hunched back and gray hair had automatically appeared in her mind.
Unexpectedly, he walked over and greeted the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked to be around forty years old, or even younger, because he was not tall, but had a straight body, dark hair and a lot of hair. Even though he had wrinkles on his eyebrows, he looked very young.
If they stand together, people who don’t know them will definitely say that Hu Rongsheng is Kang Yongxin’s younger brother!
"Jin Yue, this is the Master Hu Rongsheng I told you about, my senior brother."
Jin Yue: “…” Ha, an “old” master who looks to be just in his early forties.
"Brother, this little girl is Shu Jinyue. She was the one who cured Yuqiong's illness. The eldest lady praised her."
Hu Rongsheng looked over and nodded to Jin Yue, "Hello."
"Hello, Master Hu." Jin Yue stuttered a little, feeling bad for judging people by their appearance.
"Haha, Jin Yue must be dumbfounded too. I almost didn't recognize him when I met him on the street the other day. I thought he looked so much like my senior brother and thought he was his son. Then I went up to ask him and hey, it turned out to be my senior brother himself!"
Kang Yongxin's attitude towards his old friend is completely different from his attitude towards his work. He became talkative and generous, patting Hu Rongsheng on the shoulder, "Tell me the truth, senior brother, do you have any secret recipe for beauty and youth? Tell us about it. I don't have any use for it, but I can give it to Jin Yue in the future."
Hu Rongsheng also laughed, "Just make up stories about me."
Jin Yue had been listening to them reminiscing about the past. Hu Rongsheng had not had a good life in recent years. Like Kang Yongxin, he had remained unmarried. Kang Yongxin had been unwilling to find a partner because of his sister's health, but no one knew what his reason was. Logically speaking, he was handsome and even had a somewhat elegant temperament, so it should not be difficult for him to find a partner.
"Are you still looking? Or you can wait and work first. If you don't mind, I still need to recruit a lab technician. You can come." Kang Yongxin paused, "But there are no regular positions, so I can only work as a temporary worker."
Hu Rongsheng nodded, "Okay, let's not say any more. I'm really in a difficult situation now."
Jin Yue listened for a while, and the topic soon turned to her and Grandma Hu, especially Jin Yue's treatment of Kang Yuqiong, and they praised her for her achievements at a young age.
Jin Yue felt embarrassed, "Please don't praise me, I was just pretending to be a ghost to scare Aunt Kang." To have a real bowel movement is not that difficult.
"That's also very courageous." After all, she is very brave to do such mysterious things in this day and age.
"Comrade Xiaoshu is too modest. Yongxin said that the stomach-raising liquid you developed last time was very effective. It is currently very popular in major hospitals and has even been sold to other provinces."
The three chatted for a while, and Jin Yue invited them to dinner. She would need these professional and technical talents in her future work, so it was important to maintain good relationships.
"Goodbye, my brother and I appreciate your kindness, but it's boring for you to watch two old men like us drinking." Kang Yongxin hugged Hu Rongsheng, "Brother, you have finally met Jin Yue today. She is Yuqiong's savior. Her affairs are my affairs. If Jin Yue needs your help, you have to give me face."
Hu Rongsheng solemnly agreed, so Jin Yue had no choice but to withdraw. He went back to visit Brother Li, who had just given birth to a baby boy. He wanted to order some meat from his father-in-law, Li the Butcher, tomorrow as he wanted to improve his food.
As soon as Butcher Li saw her, he was so happy that he immediately gave her a few ribs and said, "Take them back and eat them. There's not much meat, but they're delicious when you stew them in soup."
Jin Yue doesn't want it and wants to give him money.
Butcher Li has a strong build and a loud voice: "Please don't. Last time my grandson got burned, it was you who helped him treat it. If he had gone to the hospital, it would have cost a lot of money, which would have been enough to buy a lot of meat. These ribs are also a welfare provided by the factory, so I didn't spend any money on them."
Jin Yue couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. He went to his second brother to buy two big radishes and went home to ask his mother to make some pork ribs and radish soup.
She remembered that Grandma Hu loved to drink radish soup. When the radish was stewed until it was soft and melted in the mouth, Jin Yue hurriedly scooped a pot of soup and water and sent it to Huaishu Hutong.
The old lady's spirit has been getting worse recently. She basically sleeps during the day but can't sleep at night. Jin Yue said he would prescribe some medicine for her, but she was not happy about it. She said that this is what it's like to be on your last legs, and she had to take medicine before dying - she didn't want her mouth to suffer.
Yes, Ms. Hu Peiyi, who has been proud all her life, doesn't want to drink bitter medicine, so Jin Yue doesn't expose her and tries to give her something that is easy to digest. She knew that the neighborhood office was already discussing what to do with the old lady's house after she passed away.
We can't say that Director Niu and his colleagues are not kind. After all, the Hu family does have no descendants. Instead of giving it to those ungrateful relatives who have nothing to do with them, it is a good choice to use it as an office location for the street office, which will also be considered as serving the people in the future.
After delivering the soup home, she was still in a bad mood and didn't seem to enjoy her meal very much. Suddenly, Shu Wenyan came to the gate on his bicycle, shouting at the top of his voice.
"Dad, is the second child home?"
Shu Wenming lay on his back in a disarray, "Just say I'm not here. Coming at this hour must be bad news."
Teacher Shu didn't want to pay any attention to him. Just when he was about to dismiss him, someone outside said, "Come and move the watermelons. It's hard for me to carry them alone."
Shu Wenming jumped up and down, "Watermelon?"
Yes, the stingy Shu Wenyan actually brought back three big watermelons for everyone. He tied them to the bicycles and used old cotton wool to cushion them as they bounced along the way. One of the watermelons was even cracked.
"Oh, hurry up, it's cracked, bring a basin."
Zhao Wanqiu hurriedly carried the basin out. A crack appeared in the middle of the ten-pound watermelon, and red watermelon juice flowed out. "What a pity! Such a ripe watermelon must have been so sweet."
Use a kitchen knife to pry gently along the crack. With a crisp "click", the watermelon is split in two, revealing the bright red flesh inside, which is crunchy and dotted with a few black seeds, making you salivate.
The ripe watermelon didn't seem to need to be cut, just broken into pieces. Each member of the Shu family took a piece as big as a bowl and nibbled on it, making the neighbors drool.
Watermelons are actually not expensive at this time of year, and the land around the city is particularly suitable for growing watermelons. Villagers selling their own watermelons can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the people in the market turn a blind eye, after all, buying them outside is really cheaper than buying them in stores.
But no one has ever seen someone like Shu Wenyan who bought three big ones at once.
"Hey, how come Wen Yan is so rich? Is he rich?"
"Well, we all get the same salary, how can we give it out? It's paid by the company. We gave five people, one to my father-in-law, and three to my dad and aunt, because there are so many people here."
"Oh, Wen Yan has been really filial recently. He always goes to the old house and brings so many things. Does your wife know?"
"It was really my wife who asked me to send it. She was thinking about my father and Aunt Zhao. Why didn't your daughter-in-law let her son honor you?"
The aunt laughed dryly and thought that these people had really sharp tongues. She just pretended she didn't hear anything.
The big watermelon was sandy, sweet, and full of juice. Jin Yue ate four large pieces in one go, and felt his stomach swelling up. He stopped reluctantly, "Brother, your company's benefits are so good?"
"It's not bad. This is when our secretary went to inspect and saw the vast watermelon fields. The members said that no company went to the countryside to harvest them, and they couldn't sell them. They were worried. Our secretary was a good person, so he said he would buy them for us as welfare, and give five to each person."
Teacher Shu nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "If you become a leader in the future, you must be a good leader like this, always keeping the difficulties of the masses in mind."
Shu Wenyan, contrary to his usual behavior, did not say anything but just smiled. Jin Yue and Shu Wenming looked at each other and thought, has the elder brother changed his personality? Look more closely, his temperament seems a little different. Before, to put it bluntly, he looked a bit greasy, but now he looks like a normal person.
The brother and sister looked at each other again. Oh my God, are their requirements for their eldest brother so low? As long as it's normal!
"I used to be too naive. I thought that as long as I could become an official, it would be worth it even if I died. But now that I'm in office, I look at those leaders. The higher the leader, the greater the responsibility. I look at their attitude towards life and their ability to do their job. Then I look at myself. Apart from being able to write some articles, I'm far behind."
"It's good to know your shortcomings. Anyway, we are not looking for a meteoric rise. Just make good use of your expertise and write materials. This is also a contribution to the country and the people."
Shu Wenyan nodded with a serious face, and then talked about the interesting stories of Mengmeng and Yaya. The two little girls can laugh now. As long as the adults smile at them, the two little ones will giggle non-stop, which is very cute.
A few people were eating watermelon when Shu Wenyun came back. She saw that the whole family was smiling, except for her, who had just returned from the hospital with a tired body. The laughter stopped when she entered the house. At that moment, she didn't know if she was sensitive or what, but she felt a little subtle.
Everyone likes Jin Yue more and more.
She is actually like this too, but Jin Yue doesn't like to pay attention to her.
Shu Jinyue had no time to guess what she was thinking. "Brother, I have to criticize you for this. Sun Dalong's family is in such a difficult situation, and they are helping out of kindness. They hardly made any money from you. How can you deduct their wages?"
Shu Wenyan was confused, "What do you mean by withholding wages?"
Jin Yue gave him a look that said "you're still pretending" and said, "Meng Meng Ya Ya's crib was originally agreed to be ten dollars. How come you changed your mind at the last minute and only paid nine dollars? You're clearly not keeping your word by doing this. It was my sister-in-law who agreed to it at ten dollars. If you thought it was too expensive, you could have just disagreed from the beginning. Why did you change your mind at the last minute when the product was already made and you were allowed to use it?"
The others also disagreed. They just said that the boss had changed, but now it seems that he is still the same.
"No, I didn't break my promise. Your sister-in-law makes all the decisions in this family. I didn't disagree when she said she wanted to do it... Wait, what nine dollars? I clearly gave you ten dollars. Who told you it was only nine dollars?"
Shu Wenyan also became anxious, his face turned a little red, and he felt aggrieved.
He has always been thick-skinned since he was a child, and after he started working, he became thicker than a city wall. Now he is being wronged like this, which makes him feel even more wronged than when he was wrongly accused of being "incompetent" last year!
Jin Yue wanted to say something to him, but seeing his aggrieved look, he became confused: "But I met Sun Dalong a few days ago, and he said nine yuan."
"It was really ten dollars, two five-dollar bills. I handed them to Aunt Qian in person. How could I have counted two bills wrong?"
Zhao Wanqiu, who had been silent, suddenly frowned and asked, "Could it be Aunt Qian..."
Everyone looked over. "Don't disbelieve me. Last time, we lost seven eggs. Later, your Aunt Zhao found that Chunhua ate eggs during her confinement period, and the eggshells were not thrown away. This is uncertain, and I haven't told anyone. But if Wen Yan and Sun Dalong didn't lie about the wages, then it must be the middleman's problem."
Everyone was silent for a moment, mainly because Aunt Qian had too little presence in the compound. Although she didn't have as good a relationship with their family as Aunt Zhao, she had never been heard of doing anything bad or spreading any bad things. How could an ordinary old lady with social anxiety do such a thing?
No matter how you put it, it's just not acceptable.
Shu Wenyan felt very aggrieved. "No, I have to confront her. I can't bear the blame!"
Having said that, he rushed out. No one tried to stop him. Of course, there was no need to stop him. Matters involving money, even a penny, must be made clear. This is the peculiarity of the Shu family.
If it were Shu Wenming, they would really be worried that he would get into an argument with others, but Shu Wenyan was a seasoned veteran who knew how to be tactful and roundabout, so no one was worried.
"Come here now, Yue."
Jin Yue didn’t know what kind of medicine Shu Wenyun was going to sell, so he followed her into the room.
She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and said, "I should have paid you back last year when you and your second brother bought a house, but I really couldn't come up with any money at that time, and I was busy with exams. Take these two hundred first."
With her current monthly salary of 38.5 yuan, after deducting the food expenses, the meals she sometimes eats while on duty at the hospital, the social interactions between colleagues and friends, as well as the cost of seasonal clothes and facial cream, the two hundred yuan she can save in more than a year is already her entire savings!
This is still under the premise of being extremely frugal, which is impossible nowadays.
It was impossible to say that she was not touched, but Shu Jinyue still accepted it. She thought about what happened to her in her previous life, and it was indeed her fault. Zhao Wanqiu's job was obviously hers, and Shu Wenyun could take it with peace of mind, so why couldn't she take the money with peace of mind?
Besides, she said in front of the whole family that the money would be given to her as compensation. She was a good person, and if she didn't accept it, others would not praise her, but would just call her a fool.
After taking the money, the two sisters didn't seem to have anything to say. Suddenly, there was a noise in the backyard. It couldn't be called a quarrel, just sobbing, like suppressed crying.
The two sisters hurried to their parents' room and saw their eldest brother sitting there with his head down.
"Are you going to confront Aunt Qian and lose?"
Shu Wenyan raised his head and glanced at Jin Yue, "No."
"Then why are you so dejected? What caused the commotion later?"
Shu Wenyan sighed, "When I asked her, Aunt Qian admitted it. She said she had no choice and told me about her family's difficulties. What could I say? I just told her that no matter how difficult it was, she shouldn't do such a thing to have both sides. It made me feel embarrassed. Qian Chunhua happened to hear it, and the mother and daughter started arguing."
Qian Chunhua criticized her mother, saying that she was not kind, and Aunt Qian began to sob. In the end, it was all for the family, for Chunhua and Niuniu.
Niu Niu is so young that she has never had a sip of milk powder. She has only eaten rice porridge. This rice porridge was obtained by Aunt Qian who went up the mountain to collect herbs. She saved for half a year and scraped together five kilograms of white rice. She grabbed a little bit every day, pounded it finely and then cooked it. The adults were reluctant to taste it.
"I, Shu Wenyan, don't claim to be a good person, but... given the situation of the Qian family, I can't argue with her anymore."
Everyone was silent.
Shu Wenming snorted coldly, "Don't tell me this mother and daughter are playing a double act. Some people just know how to cry crocodile tears."
He originally said this, but Shu Wenyun felt a burning pain on her face, "Second brother, can't you believe that some mistakes are unintentional?"
Shu Wen understood her and said, "I didn't say anything about you."
Well, now Shu Wenyun was even more embarrassed and ran back to her room with a red face.
Shu Jinyue didn't show it on his face, but he felt a little amused in his heart and really wanted to give his second brother a thumbs up.
However, Shu Wenming might have really misunderstood the Qian family mother and daughter. After a while, the crying in the backyard stopped, and someone knocked on the Shu family's door curtain, "Is Aunt Shu home?"
The person who came looking for Zhao Wanqiu was Qian Chunhua, who didn't interact with others much.
"Yes, yes, please come in quickly. There are a lot of mosquitoes outside."
Qian Chunhua's eyes were red. As soon as she entered the door, she bowed deeply to Zhao Wanqiu, "I'm sorry, Aunt Shu, I'm sorry, Teacher Shu, my mother is old and confused, and I'm sorry to have caused trouble to your family."
"It's nothing, we're neighbors, if there's any misunderstanding just talk it out." Zhao Wanqiu was a little angry, but she was kindhearted and didn't bear grudges. "Your mother did something wrong, we should bear the responsibilities for each other. It's just a pity for Sun Dalong, his hands are covered with blisters."
Qian Chunhua looked even sadder. That was Sun Dalong's hard-earned money, and her mother had no heart to take it.
"Not only Sun Dalong's wages, but also during my confinement, we couldn't buy eggs, so my mother took seven from your chicken coop. I was weak at the time and didn't know it. I was also surprised when I saw the eggs. I asked her and she said she had traded them with someone else... Today she admitted it herself... I'm sorry for your family, I will definitely find a way to compensate you, but unfortunately we don't have that many eggs at home, so this thirty cents will be considered as the money for the eggs, what do you think? And this piece, do you think it's better to compensate Brother Wen Yan or send it to Sun Dalong's house?"
Not to mention, Qian Chunhua is usually silent and dares not look at people, but she has some method in what she says and does. Shu Jinyue couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
"No, no, you ate the eggs anyway. Just think of it as a supplement for you. Life is hard for you, an orphan and a widow."
"No, I should have asked my mother to come and apologize, but she is shy and I dare not force her. Since my mother made a mistake, I, her daughter, should apologize. You must accept it."
Having said that, without caring whether the Shu family would accept it or not, he put the money down, bowed, turned around and ran away, as if a dog was chasing him.
What she said at the beginning seemed quite reasonable, but the way she ran afterwards turned her into the Qian Chunhua who had no sense of existence and wanted to escape underground.
Looking at the scattered coins and notes of one yuan and thirty cents on the table on the kang, the Shu family finally felt relieved.
Everybody was suffering, no family had an easy time. One egg was very precious, let alone seven. The old couple was so angry about this that they couldn't sleep, but their hearts were so soft, like sponges, like bubbles, if you squeeze them, water will come out, the bubbles will float away, and then the body will be flat again.
The Shu family members became more open-minded, but Aunt Qian felt ashamed and did not dare to approach the Shu family. She even hoped to walk around the Shu family's door. Zhao Wanqiu told this to everyone, and the children all laughed, saying that Aunt Qian was not as open-minded as Qian Chunhua.
As everyone was talking, they suddenly heard someone outside asking, "Excuse me, does Comrade Shu Jinyue live here?"
When the neighbors in the compound heard this, they were surprised. Who is sick again and is looking for Jin Yue to see him? ! Hurry out and ask what the disease is. There is no entertainment activity. Most of the curiosity of the people in No. 16 Courtyard is fed by Jin Yuezhi's difficult and complicated diseases.
Just now, when Jin Yue lifted the curtain and went out, he saw a group of old men and women surrounding the visitor.
The visitor was Xiao Zhang, a clerk from the machinery factory. "Our factory manager Xu said he has something important to discuss with you, so he asked me to come over and ask you to come over."
Jin Yue thought that she and Xu Ping were only friends who greeted each other when they met, and she usually avoided him and Zhang Zhen because she was in love with Xu Duan. She always felt that it would be weird if they knew. Now he came to her, could it be that they knew about her and Xu Duan?
Jin Yue was nervous, but he didn't want to ask what was going on in front of the gossiping crowd, so he put on his coat and went out.
"Secretary Zhang, thank you for making this trip. My sister and I are embarrassed." Shu Wenming was worried, so he followed out and was the first to hand Secretary Zhang a cigarette.
Secretary Zhang took the cigarette and put it behind his ear. "It's okay, it's not far anyway. Director Xu received a call from Haicheng, so he asked me to come and get someone. He looked a little anxious, but he looked very happy. Don't be nervous."
The more Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, the less likely he would be exposed. But whatever Haicheng could ask her for help with, it wouldn't be as important as this.
Outside the factory director's office, Shu Wenming and Secretary Zhang found a cool corner to smoke and chat, while Jin Yue went in alone.
"Uncle Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xu Ping's heart was beating fast. Seeing her standing at the door obediently, he smiled and invited her in. "I heard from Engineer Shang that you are willing to treat Yamaguchi Sachiko, so please come over and have a chat."
"I just received a call. Everything has been coordinated. Ms. Yamaguchi Sachiko, accompanied by Mr. Shang Shuming, has boarded a plane to the bookstore and will land soon. Do you have any ideas?"
When Jin Yue heard about this, she relaxed instantly. Work matters are always better than being caught in a relationship. Although she currently has no idea about Yamaguchi Sachiko's athlete's foot, she is confident.
There are no strange diseases in this world, only diseases that cannot be treated. Once the cause and pathogenesis of the disease are clearly diagnosed, it is not difficult to prescribe medicine.
Shu Wenming accompanied her into Xu Ping's car and arrived at Shilan Hotel. Shang Guangming was heard to be still in the laboratory. He didn't want to get involved in these things and didn't even want to see his cousin.
Jin Yue thought to himself that this guy was really a Frankenstein. Even so, Li Yulan was still fascinated by him. Was it true that the less you have, the more you want it?
Shilan Hotel is currently the best hotel in Shilan Province and is also of the highest standard for receiving important leaders and foreign guests. Xu Ping and Hu Guizhi made a phone call, and they were directly assigned a few rooms and asked to rest first, as someone would pick them up at the airport.
The room is decorated in a very old-fashioned mahogany style, but in that era it had a "cadre" feel. The key is that there is a separate bathroom with a toilet and a shower head, hot water available at any time, and even a large porcelain white bathtub that can accommodate an adult man!
This is something that no other guesthouse outside can compare to.
Shu Wenming saw the clean toilet and said "tsk tsk" twice. "Last time, your second sister-in-law said that Ji Meihua told her that people used the toilet in Shilan Hotel by sitting down. I said that this kid was bragging without thinking."
"He also said there was a telephone in the room. Wow, it's true." He picked it up and looked at it curiously. "Do you think it can really make a call?"
"Don't be like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden." Jin Yue said this, but she was also curious in her heart. She had seen these things on her "mobile phone", but after all, she was a native of this era and had never experienced them. Seeing and experiencing are two different things.
After a while, Xu Ping came over and asked the waiter to bring up some midnight snacks. He said the noodles here were good and suggested that they try it.
Jin Yue was a person who would not compromise his personality. He thought that since he was here, he would just stay and have a good experience. So he ordered two bowls of braised beef noodles and specifically asked for large bowls.
After a while, the waiter brought two full bowls of fragrant noodles, and the two of them started eating. The chefs here are just different. The noodles look ordinary but are very chewy, with the aroma of original wheat. The braised beef topping is generous in portion, with each piece cut as big as the tip of a thumb, fragrant and chewy. The accompanying dried bamboo shoots have also absorbed the broth of the braised beef, making them crisp and tasty.
The brother and sister ate everything up, not even a drop of soup was left.
"When I have money in the future, I will bring your sister-in-law to experience it." Shu Wenming said, holding her belly, "Our father and Aunt Zhao will also come."
Jin Yue was just about to ask why he was so low-minded when Xu Ping knocked on the door and said that someone had been picked up. "Pack up and let's go over."
Next to him was a young man in a suit and tie who looked a bit like Shang Guangming. "Hi, Brother Wenming, nice to see you again. How are you doing?"
Shu Wenming patted him on the shoulder carelessly, "Okay, okay, how are you?"
The two of them had a very lively chat last time, and now it feels like a reunion of old friends.
"Hello, Miss Shu. My name is Shang Shuming. We met last time. Do you remember me?"
Jin Yue smiled and replied to him. He was not surprised at all that the "doctor" Xu Ping found was such a young girl. "I have heard about Miss Shu's deeds from my sister-in-law. Please make this trip for Miss Xingzi."
Although he lives in Japan, he is still a Chinese at heart. His speaking and doing style, as well as his eating habits are all authentic Chinese. On the contrary, Shang Guangming is more Westernized than him.
After a few pleasantries, he got down to business: "Ms. Yamaguchi Sachiko has a very straightforward personality and may speak directly, but she doesn't hold grudges. As long as you go along with her, she's generally not too difficult to get along with."
You see, this is the charm of the Dragon Country language. If a person is straightforward, he or she will have a hot temper. If he or she speaks directly, he or she will speak unpleasantly. If he or she is not too difficult to get along with, then he or she is indeed difficult to get along with. The only thing that can be trusted is probably the three or two words "never bear grudges".
Sachiko Yamaguchi's room was just upstairs from them, and the four of them stood at the door and knocked. After waiting for about two minutes, the door finally opened, but everyone was dumbfounded - the person who opened the door was only wrapped in a bath towel, barely covering three key parts, revealing a smooth and slender neck, straight shoulders, a blue, red and black pattern tattooed on his shoulders, and long white thighs...
It wasn't that they came at the wrong time. Shang Shuming calculated the time for her to come after she had taken a shower and got ready. Who knew she would be so... unrestrained?
Jin Yue and Shang Shuming didn't think there was anything wrong, but Xu Ping and Shu Wenming were so embarrassed that their faces turned red. They didn't know where to look, so they had to back away and hide in a blind spot where Yamaguchi Sachiko couldn't see them.
Yamaguchi Sachiko giggled twice and said something in Japanese. Although they couldn't understand it, it was probably not something good.
Jin Yue didn't understand either. To be more precise, her attention was not here. Ever since Yamaguchi Sachiko came out, she had been looking at her. It was not out of curiosity, but rather like a doctor observing a patient.
You can't see anything much on her feet, but her skin is very white, and she is very thin, so white and thin that she looks a little sick. Even in Long Country, where malnutrition is common, there are very few people who are so white and thin... Of course, her figure is very good, and the plump parts are very plump, so that ordinary people will not think she is sick.
As a doctor, Shu Jinyue could see it and she roughly knew what disease she had.
