Chapter 64: Ending
Yuan Lingling's handmade tableware is getting better and better. Many people want to order tableware from her. At first, Yuan Lingling didn't charge any money, but naturally she would charge for friends of friends.
Until later generations, many people were unwilling to be manual workers, because those who knew knew that it was worthless, and those who didn’t know thought it was worthless. However, the things made required a lot of effort from the makers.
For this reason, some people in the family compound began to laugh at Yuan Lingling for being crazy about money, saying that her behavior would have been accused of capitalism two years ago. Even Political Commissar Sun mentioned this to her in a tactful way.
But Yuan Lingling insisted on her own way. Her business was all consensual and there was no forced sale. If someone didn't want to buy, they could do it themselves.
Later, many people did try it themselves, and after realizing that it was not easy to make this thing, many people gave up the idea. Although there were still not many people buying it, at least they would always come back to get it for free if it was sold out.
No matter what others think, Yuan Lingling just does her own thing.
After making a batch of exquisite tableware, she asked Yang Xiaoxi, who had already settled in Guangzhou, to help her find a store with a good location there, and then bring the items there for exhibition. The handmade items in the store are all exhibits, and the items she wants to sell are by appointment.
In this day and age, opening a store like this would most likely result in a loss, but Yuan Lingling's initial plan was just to slowly accumulate experience, find ways to market, and build up her reputation. When her children were older, she would start operating her own brand of wood products.
These were all discussed with Yang Xiaoxi. When Yang Xiaoxi opened a tofu shop in Yangcheng, all the furniture in the shop was designed by Yuan Lingling.
At this time, many people who needed furniture design came to Yuan Lingling, and Yang Xiaoxi helped to promote her wooden products. Gradually, she gradually had her own customer base.
Later, when Zheng Changqing was helping with sales, he realized the business opportunities in the interior decoration and construction industries. They cooperated with Yuan Lingling and made a lot of money.
At that time, many people in the family compound still thought that Yuan Lingling was just a full-time mother who had nothing to do at home all day and was just tinkering with wood.
Yuan Lingling doesn't care about what others say. Her life is very fulfilling. The only drawback is that she is too busy. She spends most of the day in her workshop and even has little time to spend with her children.
That day, Yuan Lingling was attending a conference call at home when she suddenly heard someone outside calling her loudly.
"Sorry, something happened here. Let me ask what's wrong."
Yuan Lingling was a little impatient, but just as she went out, she heard someone outside shouting, "Doudou's mom, something bad has happened. Doudou and Jianbing fell into the water."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Lingling dropped her cell phone to the ground and her legs began to go weak. However, she was no longer able to care about anything else and hurriedly ran towards the place where the child fell into the water.
Shen Caisheng has not returned from his mission yet, and now she and her two children, who are only a few years old, are left at home.
The children are usually very sensible. Even though their mother has repeatedly told them not to go to the water, they have never been there.
At this moment, Yuan Lingling was overwhelmed with grief, but even though the feeling of despair had surged into her heart, she could not even cry. She thought that she would never be able to change the key plot.
But now those two children are no longer just part of the plot; they are the children she lives with day and night.
The sun was still very hot and my scalp was numbing after running a few steps.
There were already quite a few people gathered by the lake, which made Yuan Lingling even more frightened.
She rushed forward quickly, but heard everyone cheering and shouting.
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
"Lingling, you're here. Doudou and Jianbing are competing in catching fish. Doudou has caught three fish and Jianbing has caught five. Your two children are very talented in swimming. Why didn't you let them go when the swimming team came for the selection that day?"
Watching the two children struggling in the water, Yuan Lingling finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted. Just like how Shen Caisheng rescued the two children who fell into the water here a few years ago, Yuan Lingling thought that someone should save her own children too.
Yuan Lingling had a dream, a very scary dream.
In the dream, she married Shen Caisheng, but their life was not happy. They had a pair of lovely children, but Yuan Lingling didn't like the two children.
Under her indifference, the children's personalities gradually became sensitive and timid and they dared not talk to others, but Yuan Lingling turned a blind eye to it. She only cared about the irreparable relationship between herself and Shen Caisheng.
Hearing that their mother liked to eat fish, the children thought about going to the river to help their mother catch fish in order to make this irresponsible mother happy.
It turned out that the two children could not swim, and in the end only two cold bodies were salvaged.
Upon learning the news of her child's death, Yuan Lingling finally went crazy. She felt that it was all Shen Caisheng's fault, because Shen Caisheng was fooling around outside every day and ignored the family, her and the child, which led to the child falling into the water and dying without anyone to discipline him.
She beat and scolded Shen Caisheng, and even injured him with a kitchen knife.
Shen Caisheng had no choice but to lock her up.
Later, Shen Caisheng found out that the reason his children fell into the water was because someone gave them advice, and that person was Yang Xiaoxi.
He mistakenly thought that because Yuan Lingling didn't like Yang Xiaoxi, Yang Xiaoxi took revenge on Yuan Lingling and the child, so he began to plan revenge for his child.
Yang Xiaoxi destroyed everything for him, so he would also destroy everything of the other person.
He began to be attentive to Yang Xiaoxi and tried his best to help Yang Xiaoxi and make Yang Xiaoxi a famous entrepreneur. However, when Yang Xiaoxi became successful, he suddenly turned against her and wanted to take over Yang Xiaoxi's company. In the process, he also committed many unforgivable sins.
In the end, all his actions were discovered by Zheng Changqing. Shen Caisheng wanted to fight to the death but failed. Instead, he was sentenced to death for committing too many evil deeds.
The moment she saw Shen Caisheng close his eyes, Yuan Lingling finally broke down and spoke out.
"So that's how it is. So that's the truth of the matter."
"Lingling, how are you, Lingling?"
When Yuan Lingling opened her eyes, she saw Shen Caisheng standing in front of her, and next to him were two children, Doudou and Jianbing.
Both children looked at her with tears in their eyes and deep regret on their faces.
"Chen Caisheng, I...you...wuwu..." Yuan Lingling's heart couldn't stop trembling whenever she thought of the scene in her dream.
"Alright, alright, it's okay, the child is fine, he's here, it's okay."
Shen Caisheng hugged her tightly.
In fact, Shen Caisheng has always known that there is something wrong with Yuan Lingling. She seems to be particularly afraid of getting close to the water. However, Shen Caisheng knows Yuan Lingling's past, and no one in her family has ever fallen into the water. Therefore, he does not understand where Yuan Lingling's fear comes from.
But it was obvious that Yuan Lingling didn't want to tell him, and he didn't know where to start. He could only spend as much time as possible with Yuan Lingling.
Yuan Lingling's sudden fainting not only scared Shen Caisheng, but also scared everyone who was familiar with them.
When she regained consciousness, she realized that she had been unconscious for two days. Mr. Feng had sent someone to take her directly to the hospital in the provincial capital for treatment.
Yuan Lingling felt really bad after learning the whole story. She never expected that the fate of Shen Caisheng's family, who was only mentioned briefly in the book, would develop so dramatically.
Two children lost their lives simply because they wanted to make their mother happy.
She didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened if she had not strongly urged her two children to learn to swim, but instead expressly forbade them to go into the water.
"Doudou, Pancake, do you like swimming?"
The answer is beyond doubt.
But the two children didn’t say they liked it. They just lowered their heads and said nothing. Their mother told them that children should not lie.
However, just a while ago, the two children came home excitedly and told Yuan Lingling that their physical education teacher thought they had a talent for swimming and wanted to train them in swimming skills so that they could become athletes in the future.
At that time, Yuan Lingling felt that this was a joke played by God on her. She felt that even if her children were extremely talented, she could not gamble with the safety of her two children's lives.
She thought the children were still young and that as long as she coaxed them, they would develop new hobbies.
Yuan Lingling only now realized that she was wrong, and she was extremely wrong.
Many times, many things cannot be solved by avoiding them. The real ability is to face up to challenges and overcome them.
Seeing that their mother didn't say anything, the two children looked at her timidly.
After a while, Doudou said, "Mom, if you don't like swimming, I won't swim anymore in the future, so as not to make you worry."
Pancake also agreed, "I won't swim anymore, don't be sad, mom."
Yuan Lingling sniffed and said, "No, you have to swim. As long as you listen to the teacher's instructions, you can swim if you want."
"Really, Mom, can I swim with the teacher?"
"Mom, is it true? Really?"
When Shen Caisheng finished the discharge procedures and came out, he saw this scene and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Yuan Lingling didn't stay in the provincial capital for long and returned to the staff quarters.
It was then that everyone in the family compound knew Yuan Lingling's identity. She actually had such a background, but had never made it public.
Some family members even insisted that it was no wonder that Shen Caisheng could climb to such a position at such a young age. However, only those who really paid attention knew that Shen Caisheng's promotion was based on real military merits.
No matter how tough they tried to be, they couldn't resist the truth, and gradually no one dared to gossip about Yuan Lingling anymore.
Yuan Lingling also changed her previous habit of keeping an eye on her children every day and gave them enough space to do what they wanted to do.
She no longer stayed in the family compound all the time, but often went out, especially when she was on a mission.
At that time, the two children followed Sun Qian every day.
Almost no one knows where Yuan Lingling is doing, but there are always people who like to gossip wherever she is.
Some people even speculated that Yuan Lingling had run away.
I heard that the south is developing very well now. Many people go to the south and stay there and never come back. They think that a beautiful girl like Yuan Lingling is that kind of person.
Until one day someone saw a talk show on TV, and the interviewee was the domestic pioneer designer, Yuan Lingling.
Yuan Lingling is bright and generous on TV, and she is no less attractive when sitting next to the TV host.
The host asked: "I heard that Miss Yuan is now a mother of two children. How does Miss Yuan balance the relationship between family and work?"
Yuan Lingling nodded slightly. "Yes, my two children are already ten years old. They are now swimmers in the provincial team and are very busy. My husband also has his own career. We are all working hard in our respective fields."
"But people are not machines. We also take time to get together and experience the warmth of family. For our family, whether we are together every day or we are busy with our own things and can only communicate through phone calls and letters, we love each other deeply."
It was already dark when Yuan Lingling came out of the TV station. In the parking lot, a low-key off-road vehicle was parked in the corner. Yuan Lingling naturally walked over, opened the passenger door and sat in.
The man in the driver's seat came forward and gave her a gentle hug.
The two children in the back seat poked their heads out, "Mom, are we going to eat hot pot?"
Yuan Lingling and Shen Caisheng looked at each other and smiled lovingly, "Okay."
The car slowly drove out of the parking lot, into the traffic, and into their future.
