After most of the neighbors moved to the other courtyards, Cheng Rushan whispered to Jiang Lin, "Will you come with me tonight?"
Jiang Lin subconsciously thought of going with you, it’s so crowded here and there’s no place to sleep.
The second brother Jiang said, "Dad, please rent a dormitory for my sister and brother-in-law to live in. We can pay for it." If Jiang Dongjian was asked to borrow a house to do something for someone, he would definitely feel embarrassed. It would be better to just pay the money and do it in a fair manner.
Jiang Dongjian hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
Cheng Rushan said, "No, I can do it myself." He said to Jiang Lin, "I'll pick you up later."
Jiang Dongjian felt bad when he saw that his daughter was more dependent on her son-in-law than on her own parents, but when he thought about the good relationship between the young couple, it was better than anything else, so he felt bad no matter how hard he tried.
Cheng Rushan invited Jiang Xinglei to go out together and asked casually, "What do you young people usually do?"
Jiang Xinglei was no longer so afraid of Cheng Rushan. He felt that Cheng Rushan would be nicer to him for his sister's sake. "Just watch a movie, go shopping, skate in winter, swim in summer..."
"Are you doing anything illegal?"
Jiang Xinglei: "Is it forbidden?" He shook his head vigorously and begged for mercy: "Brother-in-law, I really don't dare to do it anymore."
Cheng Rushan: "Don't you want to see the violation of nationality?"
Jiang Xinglei hung his head: "Look."
"What book?"
Jiang Xinglei's face flushed, his calves were shaking, and he stammered out a few book titles, such as "Girl's Heart", "The Second Handshake", and "Youth is Like Blood", most of which were handwritten copies.
"You guys copied and borrowed from each other, right? Who did you borrow from?"
"Meng Ruirui, and..." Jiang Xinglei said a few names.
When we arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the Meng family lived, the gate was wide open and we could hear some chirping sounds coming from inside.
Cheng Rushan: "Go and call Meng Ruirui out."
Jiang Xinglei hesitated for a moment, "Brother-in-law?"
"go."
Jiang Xinglei went there obediently.
Soon, he came back: "Brother-in-law, he is not at home." Meng Kaiping and Huang Meini were not at home either. As for Meng Ruirui, he might have run away to find some peace and quiet in the yard because he was annoyed by the noise.
Cheng Rushan thought for a moment, "Where do you usually go if you don't sleep at this time?"
Jiang Xinglei: "Some go to the movies, some go to the park, and some just wander around."
Cheng Rushan asked him where in the factory was lighted and relatively quiet at night.
Jiang Xinglei smiled and said, "I know. Sometimes we don't sleep and run out to smoke together." He led Cheng Rushan through twists and turns and when they arrived at the place, they found Meng Ruirui sitting there smoking and studying hard with a book in his hand.
Cheng Rushan motioned to Jiang Xinglei to go and say hello to him, but as soon as Jiang Xinglei spoke, Meng Ruirui got so scared that she stood up and ran away.
Cheng Rushan was blocking the exit. Meng Ruirui ran over and was tripped by him, falling flat on his face, with the book in his hand flying out.
Cheng Rushan reached out and grabbed the book, looked down at it and smiled.
Meng Ruirui blushed and stretched out his hands to get up, "Give it back to me, give it back to me!"
Cheng Rushan raised his foot and stepped on Meng Ruirui to the ground, "Manna's Memoirs, huh? It's very interesting, right?"
Jiang Xinglei was so excited that he wanted to go and see it. "Fuck, Meng Ruirui, where did you copy it from? I asked you before, didn't you say you didn't have it?"
Meng Ruirui’s face turned pale, “Don’t, don’t expose me.” If he was exposed, he would go to jail.
Cheng Rushan took his feet away, squatted down, and picked up Meng Ruirui from the ground. "Please do one thing for me, and write off the matter of reading the book."
Meng Ruirui's forehead was covered with sweat: "W-what's the matter?"
Cheng Rushan: "Go find me some letters, and the words 'selling the child and eloping' should be in them."
Meng Ruirui was sweating profusely: "No, no, where can I find it?"
Cheng Rushan sneered: "You know it naturally, don't pretend."
He took out a notebook and a pen from his bag, "Write a letter of repentance and go back to get the letter in exchange." He paused, then smiled, "It's okay if you don't want to exchange. I'll tell the police station to arrest you and put you in jail for a few years. Those who are imprisoned in the province are basically sent to the Yunye Lake Labor Camp. I grew up there, so I'm familiar with it, so I can arrange for special treatment for you. Of course, you can also stay in the provincial prison. I know everyone there, but it's not as interesting as the farm. Being a good person in there will also change you, which is not bad."
Meng Ruirui was so scared that he almost wet his pants. Ordinary people, especially young people like them, were most afraid of going to prison or labor camp. When they were young, they saw too many scenes of criticism of d, which were as cruel as they could be. These were like nightmares that left a deep shadow in their souls, and naturally formed a concept for them: they must not be arrested and imprisoned.
Even death is not an option.
"You are a smart man." Cheng Rushan let him go.
Being able to find it is the simplest and most annoying way. If you can't find it, there are naturally other ways, but it just takes a little more effort.
Meng Ruirui finished writing the letter of repentance while crying and lying on the side of the road. The characters were crooked and uneven, but it didn't matter, as long as there was a signature and handprint.
Cheng Rushan let him go back and asked Jiang Xinglei to wait outside.
Jiang Xinglei was speechless. If his brother-in-law used the same method on him, he would be scared to death.
When Meng Ruirui returned home, his parents were not at home, and the annoying gossips in the yard had also dispersed.
He went into the house to hide from his sister and went to his parents' room to search. He had read his sister's letters and knew roughly what they were about. The two letters that focused on selling the child and eloping were missing, and he was extremely anxious. If he couldn't find it, his confession would be sent to the police station. That person was with Jiang Xinglei, and he must be Jiang Lin's man. This man was mentioned in the letter by his sister. He was arrested and imprisoned, and he also said that he came back to vindicate the family, etc.
Meng Ruirui naturally thought that he must be a murderer!
So, he had to find it.
Finally, he remembered that he had read two letters a while ago and stuffed them under his bed. He flipped through them and found them. These were the letters that Meng Yiyi had sent through Jin Lei after she was exposed. They were full of resentment against Jiang Lin for being ungrateful and ungrateful. She clearly wanted to sell her son and elope to find Bian Haitao, but she pretended to be righteous. The words used were more harsh and vicious than the previous words about selling her son and elopement. They even mentioned how Jiang Lin was not disciplined in the village. There were even bold words about how she would work hard, study, return to the city, find a job, and lead her family to live a good life.
Meng Ruirui didn't have time to think about it. What was the big deal for just a letter? He immediately put it in his pocket and ran out.
Jiang Xinglei saw him coming out and pulled his arm, "Did you get it?"
Meng Ruirui: "Give me back my letter of repentance."
Jiang Xinglei pulled him to find Cheng Rushan under the street light.
Cheng Rushan opened the letter and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and threw the letter and the confession to Meng Ruirui, "You don't dare to talk about this, right?"
Meng Ruirui cried: "I, I definitely don't dare to say it."
Although he didn't know what would happen, his intuition was not a good thing, and he knew most of the things going on at home, but there was nothing he could do.
Cheng Rushan ignored him and said to Jiang Xinglei, "You go back first. I have something to do."
Cheng Rushan went to see the factory logistics manager, showed his work ID, and paid to rent a single dormitory for a few days.
After finishing the work, he went back to Jiang's house to pick up Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, let's go first."
Xu Aimei asked Jiang Dongjian to bring them a mattress and quilt, as the dormitory could not provide quilts. Their family was not well-off, so they brought Jiang Xinglei's over, and he and his second brother shared a quilt.
Cheng Rushan held the bedding and took Jiang Lin to the factory's single dormitory to sleep.
…
With Cheng Rushan by her side, Jiang Lin slept particularly well and was not affected by the day.
Early the next morning, the loudspeakers began playing songs such as "The Helmsman Depends on the Sea Voyage", which was equivalent to a wake-up ringtone.
Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan got up and tidied up a little. Jiang Xinglei came over and knocked on the door. "Brother-in-law, second sister, mom asked you to go eat."
Cheng Rushan said to Jiang Lin, "Go and tell my parents that I have something to do. I'm taking them to another hospital today."
Jiang Lin nodded, "Okay, tell Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao that I miss them too. How about we get another room here, and you can bring your parents over."
Cheng Rushan reached out and touched her face, "In two days." He said goodbye to Jiang Xinglei and left.
Jiang Lin locked the door and glared at Jiang Xinglei, "You are quite bold."
Jiang Xinglei cried, "Second sister, I was wrong."
He is four or five years younger than Jiang Lin, and was bullied by his second sister when he was a child. At that time, his biggest wish was to grow up quickly and be stronger than his second sister so that he could bully her back. But when he finally grew up, his second sister went to the countryside again. Now he is strong, but her man is much stronger than him, so he is still not bullied.
She bullied him when he was a child, and now he used her letter to cheat him out of more than ten dollars, and he thought it was all over.
Jiang Lin took out a few embroidered handkerchiefs and gave them to him. "I heard you're quite good at making money. If you sell this, we'll split the profit in half after deducting the cost."
Jiang Xinglei's eyes lit up immediately. "Really? Sister, you don't know that there are people stealing and trading things everywhere in the city, and they can all make money. It's a pity that I can't trade in supplies, otherwise I..."
Although some people were caught, the profits were too high to catch them all. There were many people dealing in food coupons, cigarettes, glass and metal, industrial coupons, etc.
"You're a piece of shit!" Jiang Lin kicked him. "People at the market management office won't care if you deal with such small things, because it's manual labor and the quantity is limited."
She and Jiang Xinglei went home for dinner, but ran into Meng Yiyi at the intersection, who seemed to be waiting for her.
Meng Yiyi was tormented badly last night. She now looks haggard, but her expression is very excited.
She stared at Jiang Lin like she was her enemy, her eyes were extremely cold, and she said fiercely, "Jiang Lin, from now on we are done with each other, just wait and see!"
Jiang Lin raised her eyebrows: "Pay the money back first." Meng Yiyi still owed 78 yuan to pay off her parents' money.
Meng Yiyi immediately took out a pile of small and large amounts of money from her pocket, and took out the repayment slip that she had written at the educated youth center, "Write it down in black and white, so that you don't accuse me again! You asked me for money in the beginning, and I helped you get it. You spent it and then refused to admit it and accused me, and I accepted it, and I'll just treat it as what I have done for so many years..."
"Have you told so many lies that you start to believe them yourself?" Jiang Lin sneered.
Meng Yiyi felt that she was extremely angry. "Jiang Lin, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. You actually went to the factory office to report me. Do you think you can ruin my return to the city? I'm not afraid to tell you that I have passed the recruitment exam of the auto parts factory and I will go to work today!"
She raised her chin proudly, "Don't you want to know who helped me?"
Jiang Lin rolled her eyes at her and continued counting the money. "I'm not interested!"
"Hmph! I'm afraid you can't bear it. Let me tell you, it was Bian Haitao who helped me. He is very successful now. He has become a cadre in the military region and has good relations with many leaders." She paused, staring at Jiang Lin's face intently, trying to see expressions of shock, jealousy, and heartbreak on Jiang Lin's face, but unfortunately she was destined to be disappointed.
Jiang Lin curled her lips: "A bitch and a dog, forever?"
"You! Humph! You are jealous!" Meng Yiyi was so angry that her face turned blue, and then she sneered, "I know you are jealous and distressed, but I won't argue with you. Do you think Fan Huiyuan can ruin my chance to enter the factory? Ha, you are really stupid! Fan Huiyuan is a piece of shit! If Bian Haitao calls me in the middle of the night, she will have to let me go and apologize. Look, I am going to work openly, right? By the way, I may not have time to transfer my household registration and food relationship, so please help me transfer it when the time comes. Thank you for your help."
Jiang Lin couldn't bear to see her smug look, "You may have to trouble me to go to the prison to bring you food." She looked down at the money and flicked her fingers, "It's still fifteen dollars short. Don't you know how to count?"
Meng Yiyi: "Jiang Xinglei, you used your sister's name to ask my dad for 15 yuan, you don't admit it?"
Jiang Lin: "I'm sorry, there is no evidence for what you said. I only know that it is written in black and white here." She shook the list in her hand. It was a statistics compiled by the educated youth point, with the signature and fingerprint of Meng Yiyi, as well as the signatures of witnesses such as Sun Qinghui.
Seeing Jiang Lin being so tough, Jiang Xinglei refused to admit that he had done it.
Meng Yiyi's face changed, she gritted her teeth in hatred, and had to take out fifteen yuan and stuff it into Jiang Lin's pocket, and said proudly: "Bian Haitao is more powerful than Cheng Rushan, he said he would make him lose his job and he would lose his job!"
Jiang Lin looked at her like she was crazy, "You sound like Bian Haitao's mother, even more powerful than Cheng Rushan. You're not even worthy of carrying my shoes, okay? Stop disgusting me. I want to beat you up."
Meng Yiyi originally wanted to bully Jiang Lin, but her face changed and she ran away in fear.
Last night, Meng Yiyi was arrested by Fan Huiyuan. Xu Aimei wanted to go and argue with the Meng family about the rumor, but Cheng Rushan advised them to be patient and find evidence first. Without evidence, the Meng family denied it, and they could not be convicted. This is why Meng Yiyi could be released if someone gave them a heads-up.
Jiang Lin remembered that Cheng Rushan told her last night that no one would dare to do anything to her after the rumor was clarified. As for catching the person who spread the rumor, he would be responsible for it and told her not to worry about it.
"If we catch the rumormonger, there will definitely be some chaos. I'll bring Dabao and Xiaobao to visit them the next day when my parents get off work."
Jiang Lin didn’t know what Cheng Rushan was going to do, but she believed he had a plan, so she didn’t interfere.
She turned and went home.
Jiang Xinglei's mind was full of the news that Meng Yiyi had joined the factory. He looked at her with envy, "Sister, did she really join the factory? You don't know how hard it is to join our factory. How can Bian Haitao be so amazing?"
Jiang Lin stared at him coldly, scaring Jiang Xinglei so much that he paused for a moment and quickly shut up.
Jiang Lin: "Jiang Xinglei, if you continue to be so snobbish, get out of here!"
Jiang Xinglei looked at her in astonishment. She actually called him a snob. Who doesn't know that she is a snob? Did you forget that you wanted to marry that bastard Lu Hang in order to stay in the city?
Jiang Lin continued to threaten her brother, "If you dare to do anything in my name, I will break your legs. If you don't believe me, just try it!"
I had told him in advance that if he dared to do so, I would break his legs and cut off all ties with him.
Jiang Xinglei immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Sister, I really don't dare, I absolutely won't."
Jiang Lin: "You cheated me out of 15 yuan using my name, remember to pay it back."
Jiang Xinglei looked at her in disbelief, "Sister?"
"There is no room for negotiation. Help me sell the handkerchief to pay off my debt first."
…
Meng Yiyi was so angry at Jiang Lin that she decided to vent her anger on Fan Huiyuan.
Last night, Fan Huiyuan arrested her and wanted to interrogate her for making up rumors about selling her child and eloping, and slandering her for having promiscuous relationships with men and women. Naturally, she refused to admit it. If she admitted to the scam, she would pay the money back. But if she admitted to the rumor, Jiang Lin had no evidence!
Later, her father went to the factory next door to call Bian Haitao, who immediately helped her solve the problem of Fan Huiyuan. Not only was she fine, but she was also hired as a factory worker. She would be a formal employee in the future, and no one could drive her back to the countryside. She would have to take the college entrance examination next year, and she had to get a bachelor's degree, so that her future would be easier.
After being exposed by Jiang Lin more than two months ago, she was thinking about how to get out of the current predicament. She thought about Lu Hang and Bian Haitao, and later decided to start with Bian Haitao. Lu Hang was just the son of a textile factory director. The next year, the Cultural Revolution ended and the cadres in government agencies and factories began to be investigated. Those who rose to prominence through the movement had to stand aside. Later, Lu Hang found a little girl who looked a bit like Jiang Lin, but was accused of hooliganism and sentenced to eight years. He was shot directly for the crime of severe crackdown.
If she helped him, he could be spared from death, but he liked pretty girls, especially those like Jiang Lin, which made her hate him! So she decided to choose Bian Haitao.
Bian Haitao was smart and willing to sacrifice his reputation. He joined the army by marrying the daughter of a high school principal, but later he climbed up step by step on his own. Two years later, he would dump the daughter of the school principal and marry the daughter of a military director, and continue to climb up until he made a big mistake.
If she gave him some pointers, he could definitely climb higher and avoid the minefields.
She wrote a letter to Bian Haitao, pointing out his current doubts, difficulties, and ways to improve. Sure enough, Bian Haitao calmly wrote a letter to Jin Lei, asking her how she knew.
Of course, she would not tell him directly that she had lived a second life and, thanks to her good sister Jiang Lin from her previous life, she knew everything about his life.
She just let him believe that she would always help him and make everything go smoothly for him in the future.
Of course, he also has to help her. With the support of military cadres, her future can really change.
She was so proud that her steps were a little unsteady. After she blocked Fan Huiyuan's way and admired her gnashing teeth and regretful expression, she hummed a little tune and went to report to the factory office.
She works as a trainee secretary in the office. After some training, she can be responsible for publicity, clerical and other work, which will help her review her lessons and take the college entrance examination next year.
She strolled enough and returned to the office around ten o'clock. She poured herself a large teacup of hot water, grabbed a handful of public tea leaves, and tasted the flavor of the fine Longjing tea - the one she had drunk from Cheng Rushan in her previous life.
She was looking forward to the future with pride when she saw Fan Huiyuan leading two uniformed police officers walking towards her in a heroic and confident manner.
The police officers wear white tops, blue pants, and bright red five-pointed star collar badges.
When they got there, they showed their IDs. "Meng Yiyi, Cheng Rushan has reported you to the police for maliciously defaming Jiang Lin's reputation, instigating others to commit hooliganism, and destroying their marriage and family relationships. We have reliable evidence and are taking you back to the police station for investigation!"
Bang.
Meng Yiyi's big teacup fell to the ground.
