Chapter 174
Liang Rui was so happy.
How come he never knew that his stepmother had such a sharp tongue? Look how angry she made his aunt.
His face turned green.
Liang Rui had never felt so proud in all these years. As he passed Chen Hongjiao, he smiled and said, "Auntie, a loser like me got into No. 1 Middle School. I wonder if your genius got in, too?"
This is simply murderous and heartbreaking.
Liang Haibo is a genius.
genius.
Among the three generations of the Liang family, he was the only one who failed the high school entrance examination and had to ask his family to use their connections and give him money to send him to high school.
Chen Hongjiao said, "Don't be so proud. Even if you get into No. 1 Middle School, what's the use? You might die young in the future." These words were vicious and dark, but she hadn't finished her words yet.
Jiang Meishu's expression turned cold. She was always good-tempered and would never resort to violence, but for the first time, she raised her hand and slapped Chen Hongjiao in the face. "Say it again? Who's short-lived?"
She treats Liang Rui as her own child.
No mother can remain indifferent when hearing others curse her child to have a short life.
She definitely doesn't love her own child.
Jiang Meishu's slap was so sudden that the surroundings instantly became quiet.
Chen Hongjiao covered her face and said in a sharp voice, "You are a junior, and you hit me? I am your sister-in-law."
Jiang Meishu stood in front of Liang Rui and said, "You called me Liang Rui short-lived, and I hit you? Hitting you is the least I can do."
She was obviously not as tall as Liang Rui, but at this moment, Jiang Meishu was holding up the sky for Liang Rui, "Chen Hongjiao, I'm not as vicious as you. If I were half as vicious as you, I wouldn't hit you. Do you know who I want to take revenge on?"
"Who?" Chen Hongjiao asked subconsciously.
"Liang Haibo? If I were to be like you, constantly saying Liang Haibo is a short-lived ghost, I'd like to ask you, as a mother, would you be angry?"
"You dare!"
Chen Hongjiao screamed, "My Haibo is a long-lived person, don't curse her."
Jiang Meishu sneered, "You do it on the first day, don't blame others for doing it on the fifteenth."
She turned around and looked at Liang Rui, "Look at her. If anyone dares to bully you for being a motherless child, tell me."
Liang Rui couldn't describe what he felt in his heart. He had been bullied countless times since he was a child, and he had imagined countless scenes.
His mother would stand before him, protect him, and stand up for him.
But no.
Not even once.
It was not until Jiang Meishu appeared that Liang Rui felt for the first time what it was like to be protected by his mother.
He lowered his head, his eyes red, and his voice was sour, "I will definitely tell you."
"I will also beat Liang Haibo to a pulp."
"Chen Hongjiao, if you bully me once, I will beat your son once. Let's see which is more powerful, your method of bullying me or my fist."
The mother and son were just as arrogant as each other. Chen Hongjiao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She waited until Jiang Meishu and Liang Rui left, and she was still questioning Liang Haibo, "Why? As juniors, how can they be so arrogant in front of me, an elder?"
Liang Haibo was a bully at home, and he was a little impatient. "Are you still going to my school?"
"Forget it if you don't want to go." He grabbed the bicycle and pushed the handlebars. "I can go by myself."
His reaction made Chen Hongjiao suddenly sad, "Who am I doing this for?"
"For whom?"
Unfortunately, the spoiled Liang Haibo didn't care about his mother's reaction at all.
On the other side, after Jiang Meishu walked away, she didn't forget to look back and asked, "Did she bully you like this before?"
Chen Hongjiao's words are so harsh.
Liang Rui didn't say anything.
Liang Feng chirped, "Yeah, he not only bullied Liang Rui, he also bullied me."
"Aunt, let me tell you, Liang Rui and I used to be the two pitiful ones at home. No, I was the more pitiful one, and he was the less pitiful one. We were both motherless children. Liang Haibo always boasted about having a good mother, and my aunt was happy to carry the sedan chair and show off the mother-son relationship in front of us every day. It was too much."
"However." Liang Feng glanced at Jiang Meishu cautiously. Seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he grinned slightly and said, "They won't dare to show off in front of us anymore."
Liang Rui has a mother.
He has it too.
Jiang Meishu inexplicably understood, and she felt a little sad and upset. She whispered, "As long as I'm here, it won't happen again."
Liang Feng nodded excitedly.
Although Liang Rui didn't say anything, the corners of his lips curled up.
He also has his mother to protect him.
No one knew what these words meant to Liang Rui. He glanced sideways at Jiang Meishu, and then again.
On the crowded bus, he and Liang Feng created a vacuum zone for Jiang Meishu.
After arriving at No. 1 High School.
Jiang Meishu originally planned to take them in to register, but unexpectedly saw Jiang Nanfang at the door.
Jiang Meishu was still a little surprised, "Nanfang, why are you here?" She trotted over.
Jiang Nanfang was holding a thick hardcover notebook in his hand. Upon hearing this, he walked over and said, "Didn't we agree that I would send Liang Rui and Liang Feng off after they got into high school?"
He looked thinner and taller, and his scholarly air became more pronounced.
Liang Rui raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Brotherly indeed."
It's also strange. He should have asked Jiangnan Fang to call him uncle, but he ended up treating him as a brother.
Although Liang Feng didn't say anything, he was very happy. When he went in to register, he kept asking Jiang Nanfang about his life in college.
It can be seen that Liang Feng is very envious.
Jiang Nanfang also told the other party everything he knew. He told the other party everything he could.
After listening to this, Liang Feng clenched his fists and said, "Wait for me for two years, I want to apply to HKUST too."
Liang Rui poured cold water on him, "Stop dreaming. There's not even the college entrance examination now. How can we get into university?"
"Let's finish high school first."
These days, most people choose to go to technical secondary school, which guarantees a job after two years. Compared to studying for two years of high school and then not being able to get into university, and being unemployed at home, going to a technical secondary school is infinitely better.
However, Jiang Nanfang is already in college, so naturally, these brothers can't be worse than them.
No. 1 High School is quite large, and the students there all work and study part-time, attending classes half a day and working half a day.
Because No. 1 High School is a bit far from their homes, Liang Rui and Liang Feng both chose to live on campus. Jiang Meishu also went to take a look at the school and felt that the environment was a bit poor.
But Liang Rui was willing to do so.
She didn't know what to say.
After registering, Jiang Meishu went back home, while Liang Rui and Liang Feng stayed behind to get acquainted with their classmates. Jiang Meishu left them each fifty yuan, plus twenty kilograms of food coupons. Liang Rui and Liang Feng only took the food coupons, not the money.
Neither of them is short of money.
Liang Rui is a wealthy man.
Liang Feng is a small wealthy man.
Regardless of other things, the money I have is enough to support them through two years of high school.
Seeing that none of them wanted the money, Jiang Meishu didn't force them. On her way back, she took the money she had saved to the cooperative and deposited it.
She kept more than a thousand yuan in change and saved the remaining twenty thousand yuan.
Adding the 100,000 yuan in her savings account, she had already saved 120,000 yuan. At this rate, she would soon reach 200,000 yuan.
Just as Jiang Meishu guessed, the bell-bottom pants, electronic watches and frog-eye glasses supplied to the department store were sold out immediately.
What she didn't expect was that the red dress was the first item to be sold out.
More than a hundred red dresses were sold out in the department store within a week. Even so, the stock was completely gone, and a red dress trend had swept the capital.
There are people everywhere looking to buy red skirts.
Jiang Meishu saw this and realized she had to seize this business opportunity. She contacted Li Wenjuan overnight, but unfortunately, there was no way around it because they were too far away.
Li Wenjuan's goods would not be delivered for a while, and she didn't give them to anyone she knew on the train, so the goods could not be brought back and she missed the opportunity to make money.
They have to wait for their people to go to Guangzhou to purchase goods and then come back. It has taken ten days to go back and forth, and it is still unknown whether they can catch this favorable wind.
What a coincidence.
Just when Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan were discussing asking Shen Zhanlie to make another trip to Guangzhou, Jiang Meishu suddenly cried out.
"What's wrong?"
"Lao Liang is in Guangzhou."
Jiang Meishu suddenly realized, "Lao Liang is in Yangcheng. I can ask him when he will be back and ask him to bring me some red skirts."
She has been so busy these days that she actually forgot about this matter.
"Do you have his phone number?"
This question really stumped Jiang Meishu. Liang Qiurun was on a business trip to the south and she wasn't sure where he was. How could she have a phone?
"Could it be that we really have to go there on our own?"
Before he could finish his words, there was a noise outside, "Is Jiang Meilan here? Your lover Liang Qiurun called to look for you."
Jiang Meishu suddenly stood up, her fair face filled with confusion. "Lao Liang is looking for me? How did he find Qudeng Hutong?"
Liang Qiurun usually goes back to the Liang family.
Before he could finish his words, he ran out like a gust of wind.
When she got there, Liang Qiurun had already hung up the phone. She waited for a while before the other end called again.
"Jiang Jiang?"
A familiar voice suddenly made Jiang Meishu miss him a little, "Lao Liang, when will you come back?"
"It'll take a while here."
"Have you decided on the exact date?"
"Miss me so much?" Liang Qiurun asked this question with a gentle smile on his lips. When he realized that Jiang Meishu was thinking about him just as much as he was thinking about her.
This made Liang Qiurun feel soft-hearted.
How should Jiang Meishu respond?
She held the receiver tightly, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to pick her toes. She wasn't thinking about Liang Qiurun, she wanted Liang Qiurun to come back at the right time and help her bring a batch of goods.
But I can't tell.
After saying this, Jiang Meishu knew Liang Qiurun well, so he would definitely be angry. Thinking of this, Jiang Meishu changed the subject, as if to act like a spoiled child, "Yes, when you were not around, I missed you when I ate, when I slept, and even when I took a walk every evening, I wanted to be with you."
When Aunt Li next to her heard this, she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
No wonder Jiang Meishu was able to take down Director Liang. It was because of her ability to coax people. Most people can't do that.
Liang Qiurun was also like this. Jiang Meishu coaxed her into a heart as soft as a lake, and ripples appeared on the calm lake.
"I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
Jiang Meishu rolled up the phone cord, twisted it around her index finger, and asked him softly, "When is it?"
How should Liang Qiurun respond to this?
He thought for a moment, "The fastest will be next week."
"However, Secretary Chen will go back before me."
Jiang Meishu hesitated for a moment, "Can I ask Secretary Chen for a favor?"
"What?"
Jiang Meishu said, "Second sister-in-law's goods are gone. If he comes back in the next two days, I want him to go to Gaodi Street to find Li Wenjuan and ask her to help bring some things back."
Because it was a public phone, she didn't dare to say too much, after all, this was a guy who was eating.
Liang Qiurun paused and said, "I'll ask Secretary Chen."
After a while, Secretary Chen said it was no problem.
Jiang Meishu said, "Leave me your phone number and I'll go back and tell you in detail."
After hanging up the phone.
Aunt Li leaned over and said, "Meilan, you too, are you still on guard against me even though I'm just calling you?"
What's the point of leaving a phone number and explaining it in detail? Isn't that just a way to be on guard against her?
Jiang Meishu was not angry. She smiled slightly and said, "Since Aunt Li thinks we are family, why don't you waive the phone bill for me first? That way I can tell you what we said specifically."
Aunt Li immediately changed her tune, "You and I are not family. Who in this world calls someone without paying for the phone bill?"
Jiang Meishu paid the bill without hesitation. "Yes, since we are not family." She chuckled. "Why should I tell you everything? Right, Aunt Li?"
She didn't know when it started.
Jiang Meishu has changed from being a cowardly and conflict-afraid girl to a sharp-tongued person.
She had the courage to resist.
I don’t know when I got it, but Jiang Meishu just dares to do it now.
She is still as gentle as ever, but she dares to turn against others.
It's that simple.
After she left, Aunt Li wanted to open her mouth to refute several times, but she couldn't find a good angle. In the end, she could only say, "It's good to marry her. She has confidence."
"Look at Meilan, she's like a completely different person."
Jiang Meishu didn't care what she said. She paid for the call and naturally didn't want to disclose her privacy.
After she turned back, she informed Jiang Meilan, "Tell Shen Zhanlie not to go to Yangcheng for now. I'll go back and discuss it with Lao Liang and tell you."
Jiang Meilan naturally agreed to another person taking the lead. Shen Zhanlie had asked for leave several times this month, which had already caused dissatisfaction among his superiors.
This is also because Shen Zhanlie has a good father-in-law and a good burden, so his leader turned a blind eye to his request for leave.
But, after Jiang Meishu left.
Shen Zhanlie discussed with Jiang Meilan, "Wife, I want to quit my job."
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Meilan frowned, "Why would you have such an idea?"
"I'm always asking for leave, and Director Chen is no longer satisfied. Even if Director Liang can help me this time, I'll still have to ask for leave next time I need to go out to buy goods. From this point of view, it's better for me to resign and concentrate on business."
Jiang Meilan took Shen Zhanlie's hand and said, "Wait a minute."
"Resigning would be too conspicuous. Having a job as a cover would actually be safer."
"Besides, if you quit your job and focus on your business, our family's conditions will improve. People around us will definitely notice something. Can you guarantee that they won't become jealous and report us?"
Now their family has the worst conditions in the entire compound.
So even if they do some business, everyone will turn a blind eye, help cover up, and even take care of their business. But if they really make a lot of money, unless they move away, the mentality of the old neighbors will change.
It's not that Jiang Meilan judges others by her own standards.
But that's human nature.
Shen Zhanlie was still a little hesitant, but after hearing this, he no longer hesitated, "Then don't resign."
"But the leader—"
Jiang Meilan, "You should try to maintain good relationships with them on a daily basis. Also, when you get your salary every month, give some to them as a gift."
"As long as all aspects are taken care of, basically everyone will turn a blind eye."
This is the only way.
However, Shen Zhanlie inexplicably felt that this would be unfair to Liang Qiurun.
But there's nothing I can do.
Most of the time, they can only take care of themselves.
"Besides that," Jiang Meilan began to arrange things in an orderly manner, "you can use the extra time to learn how to drive."
"We need someone who can drive. Next time, if conditions permit, we can drive to Yangcheng to purchase goods ourselves."
This way you are not controlled by the time and space of the train.
Shen Zhanlie hummed, "I'm learning, but I'm not proficient yet."
After leaving the Shen family, the first thing Jiang Meishu did when she returned home was to call Liang Qiurun and tell him about the follow-up.
"Lao Liang, when you ask Secretary Chen to find Li Wenjuan, mention my name. We want three hundred of those red skirts."
"If we can get more, that would be better, but if we can't get it, forget it."
Liang Qiurun frowned slightly, but finally agreed. Liang Qiurun was very quick and went to Gaodi Street with Secretary Chen that afternoon.
According to the address given by Jiang Meishu, they found Li Wenjuan. Li Wenjuan didn't want to see them at first, but when she heard that it was an acquaintance who came to see her, she found Li Wenjuan.
Only then did she come out.
"How many pieces?"
"How much can one person get on the train?" Liang Qiurun asked.
Li Wenjuan took a look at Liang Qiurun's physique. He was tall and thin, but he looked powerful. "You can carry about 400 pieces, two large boxes."
"But if it's—" She looked at Secretary Chen, "You'd probably have around 200 at most, and you look so fragile."
Secretary Chen, “…”
"Four hundred."
"I can take it."
Don't underestimate him.
Li Wenjuan remained silent. Of course she would do business with someone. She had four hundred pieces packed into a box. "How do you pay?"
"Give me a 500 yuan deposit first," Liang Qiurun said calmly, "and I'll transfer the remaining 1,500 yuan to you."
He only had 500 yuan on him, and the money from Jiang Meishu had not been transferred yet.
Li Wenjuan frowned, "Who are you to Comrade Jiang?"
"spouse."
Li Wenjuan gave him a scrutinizing look and said, "Write me an IOU. If the remittance doesn't arrive, where should I go to find you?"
"I'm on a business trip at the Yangcheng Meat Processing Plant. You can come find me here." Liang Qiurun handed over a thin piece of paper. "This is the phone number of where I live."
"Also, if you're worried, you can go to the bank with me now."
Li Wenjuan glanced at him and said, "Let's go to the bank."
She believes Jiang Meishu.
But he didn't believe the pretty boy in front of him.
bank.
After Li Wenjuan received the money, she allowed Secretary Chen to take the goods away. After she had walked away, she suddenly turned back to look at Liang Qiurun and asked, "Are you really Comrade Jiang's partner?"
Liang Qiurun, "Guaranteed genuine."
Li Wenjuan sneered, "Then you are quite good at taking advantage of young girls."
An old white-faced man who can't even come up with two thousand yuan.
Liang Qiurun, "..."
*
capital.
It was four days later that Secretary Chen returned.
Jiang Meishu got the news early in the morning and called Shen Zhanlie to go to the train station to pick him up. When she saw Secretary Chen tired like an old ox, carrying a heavy bag.
Jiang Meishu felt a little embarrassed. She walked over quickly and handed over a bottle of iced Beibingyang soda. "Secretary Chen, thank you for your hard work."
Secretary Chen gasped, handed the goods to Shen Zhanlie, took the Beibingyang soda and drank it all in one breath, "Finally, I'm alive."
His old face was red from the heat, sweat was pouring down his forehead, and his breathing was like a broken bellows, making a rumbling sound.
This made Jiang Meishu feel even more guilty, "Hard work fee."
With a snap, five big unity notes were handed over.
"I won't let you run in vain."
Secretary Chen looked down at the money, his eyes gleaming, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
"My boss has already paid me my salary."
Jiang Meishu said, "Lao Liang is Lao Liang, and I am me. I asked you for help, so naturally I will pay you."
"Keep it." She said simply, "Who knows, I might need your help next time."
Secretary Chen, who was well-mannered, knew that he should not accept the money.
But Secretary Chen, who was very greedy for money, was a little greedy.
After struggling for a long time, he returned the money and said, "I can't take it."
"Comrade Jiang, please don't let money corrupt me. I have a firm heart."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
"Keep it. This is your hard work fee and what you deserve."
"Besides, if you don't accept it this time, I won't be able to ask you for help again in the future."
Secretary Chen then shyly put the five big unity notes into his pocket and said, "Comrade Jiang, Boss Jiang, and Rich Lady Jiang, if you have such matters in the future, please come to me."
For middle-aged men, as long as they can make money, they will accept anything.
Of course, this does not apply to those with bad character.
Jiang Meishu naturally agreed.
Secretary Chen originally planned to go to the department store with Jiang Meishu to make the delivery, but was rejected by Jiang Meishu, "You have been working hard for a few days. Go back to see your wife and children and have a good sleep."
"We can handle it ourselves from now on."
This time, Secretary Chen stopped being polite to her. Before leaving, he looked back and thought to himself, Comrade Jiang is such a good person.
See him leave.
Shen Zhanlie carried the big bag easily. They were riding a bicycle. Shen Zhanlie put the goods on the back seat and tied the rope several times to make sure it would not fall off.
Only then did he go to the front and ride his bike.
Jiang Meishu followed behind, riding a women's 26-inch scooter. It wasn't too big, but it was just right for her. Because she and Shen Zhanlie weren't close, she followed at a distance.
Shen Zhanlie propped his long legs on the ground and waited for her for a while. When he saw her coming over, he suddenly asked, "Jiang Meishu, do you like Liang Qiurun?"
