Chapter 58 Greed



The dark blue color was embellished with some small flowers, which looked very pretty. Sheng Yanchuan took it and said to Aunt Xiumei with a playful smile, "Mom, when can you make one for my bicycle?"

Aunt Xiumei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Okay, I'll sew it for you in the next few days. You can also install this one and give it to Nan Yatou. You can use the money for the malted milk that Aunt Xian gave you."

Sheng Yanchuan took it and put it in his arms, tucked the package under his arm, swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun and prepared to leave. When Sheng Yanchuan turned around, he inadvertently glanced at his sister-in-law.

When Sheng Yanchuan saw Hui Ping's unconcealed hatred, he couldn't help but feel surprised. He didn't understand how his usually gentle sister-in-law could become so narrow-minded and unreasonable.

Sheng Yanchuan tied the package to the back seat and rode to the transport factory. He had said a few days ago that he would take a long trip recently, but he didn't know if the trip had been finalized. Dongzi had nothing to do today, so it was a good opportunity for him to go to the transport factory.

"Hey, Chuanzi is here!" As soon as Sheng Yanchuan entered the gate of the transport factory, he heard a warm shout.

Following the voice, he looked in the direction of the voice. "Brother Huang, is my master here?"

The man had a square face, a buzz cut, and wore a navy shirt. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits. It turned out to be Huang Yali's eldest brother.

"I went to a meeting. I think he will be back by noon. But you specifically applied for a non-staff position. Why did you think of coming here today?"

"Didn't I hear from the master some time ago that there would be a car recently? I thought I'd come and see what the arrangements were." Sheng Yanchuan parked the bicycle and went to the master's office with Brother Huang to wait for him to come back.

"It probably hasn't been finalized yet. The travel permit is hard to get." Old Huang sighed and said with some emotion. It was a profitable business, but because of a procedural issue, these people have been waiting for more than a month and still haven't gotten it done.

"It seems that I can't leave recently. I'll ask the master what's going on when he comes." Sheng Yanchuan said as he took a glass of water and sat there to drink it. The two-grain steamed bun he had in the morning was choking. It was already one, but it still felt like it was stuck in his throat...

While Sheng Yanchuan was drinking water, Huang Weiguo looked around, moved a chair closer to Sheng Yanchuan, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, now that I'm talking about it, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Sheng Yanchuan took a big sip of water, held his neck and swallowed it, and the strange feeling in his throat finally disappeared.

"What's going on between you and Yali? I saw her coming home crying a while ago, and my aunt didn't look well either."

When Sheng Yanchuan heard Huang Weiguo's words, the scene in the black market courtyard flashed through his mind.

"Second Master, I found out about Huang Yali's situation."

"Well, tell me about it," Sheng Yanchuan said casually as he flipped through the account book.

"If I'm not mistaken, I guess so."

"Yes? Bai Kaixuan's?" He raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised by the answer.

"It shouldn't be. People here have seen her go to the house at the end of the South Street alley several times. There lived an old woman who specialized in helping women with abortions. She probably didn't know Bai Kaixuan at the time. Does she need to check whose child it was?"

“No, just check here.”

Thinking of this, Sheng Yanchuan's face flashed with a look of disgust. When he thought that she came to him because she had a child and was looking for a replacement, he really hated her from the bottom of his heart.

Although he thought so in his heart, Sheng Yanchuan did not show it in front of Huang Ge, pretending not to understand and replied

"If you don't know, then the last time you came to my house, I explained everything very clearly. It seemed normal at the time. Maybe there was something else going on. We didn't have much in common. It shouldn't be because of me."

"Oh, what a pity. I was talking about becoming your relative. You are really my type."

Huang Weiguo seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "But it may be a good thing that it didn't work out. My sister is good in every way, but she is very proud and arrogant. Most people can't deal with her. But it's okay, I will look after her for you and introduce you to a good girl."

Huang Weiguo patted Sheng Yanchuan on the shoulder, looking encouraging.

"Brother Huang, I have a partner and I plan to meet his parents at the end of the year." Unlike his disdain and indifference just now, when talking about Nanqiao, Sheng Yanchuan smiled happily.

Huang Weiguo looked at Sheng Yanchuan's expression and felt as if he had seen a ghost.

"Hey boy, what kind of girl can make you so fascinated? Tell me now."

"He is the educated youth from our village who is now working in the town," Sheng Yanchuan boasted proudly.

"Sent-down youth? How can educated youth come to work in the town without going to work? Where do they work in the town?" Huang Weiguo kept asking questions. It was not uncommon for educated youth who had just arrived to work in the town.

"In the Propaganda Office"

"Propaganda Office? Locals like us can't even get in, how did she, an educated youth, get in?" Huang Weiguo was shocked by Sheng Yanchuan's words, and there was some doubt in his words.

Hearing the distrust in Lao Huang's words, Sheng Yanchuan also showed some displeasure, "Why can't I get in? My Qiaoqiao has to serve as an interpreter for foreign businessmen tomorrow. What's the big deal about joining the Propaganda Office? Even if my Qiaoqiao goes to Qing City, people will be vying for the position."

"No, that's not what I meant, but your partner is really capable," said Old Huang, giving a thumbs up. There is not even one translator in a town, so it is not surprising that educated youth can work in the Propaganda Office.

"Of course," Sheng Yanchuan boasted.

"Since we are all in town, the compound is not far away, why don't we have lunch together? I'll treat you, and let me meet my sister-in-law."

Sheng Yanchuan frowned slightly. He had originally made an appointment with Nanqiao to go to the canteen in the compound with her to eat, but Brother Huang was the person who took the best care of him besides his master. He also wanted to take Nanqiao to meet Brother Huang and his master. After thinking for a while, Sheng Yanchuan said, "I'll ask her. She said that the foreign businessman will be here tomorrow. I wonder if she can come out for too long at noon."
