Li Kunpeng interrupted her directly, "Ask your brother-in-law to scrape together some money back home, or borrow some money. If that doesn't work, sell your newly built house and pay off Jianlin's debt first!"
"This new house is reserved for the second son to get married! Pengzi, can't you pay for it first? Your brother-in-law and I will return it to you when the time comes!"
Li Kunpeng stood up impatiently and said, "Sister, I don't have the money nor the ability. You can do whatever you want! Anyway, I've already told you everything I need to say."
Li Suyun understood that it was impossible to ask Li Kunpeng to pay off her debts. She had no choice but to do as Li Kunpeng said and start asking her husband to raise money in his hometown.
She shamelessly went to look for Chu Jingqiu and Zhang Pingping. At first, she went to the gate of Peking University and waited there for several times, but she didn't see Chu Jingqiu and Zhang Pingping.
Later, he simply went to the gate of the compound and waited for several hours, and finally stopped Chu Jingqiu and Zhang Pingping who were about to go home.
However, Chu Jingqiu and Zhang Pingping were extremely cold towards her and did not treat her well at all.
Chu Jingqiu told Li Suyun bluntly: "Dong Jianlin has a vicious mind and is guilty of heinous crimes. The court should sentence him as it sees fit! We will never forgive his behavior!" After that, he turned around and left.
Li Suyun returned disappointed, but she did not give up. She thought of Xiao Yihan. She wanted Li Kunpeng to go find Xiao Yihan, hoping that Xiao Yihan would help them persuade Chu Jingqiu for the sake of his comrades.
But the problem was that Li Kunpeng didn't dare to go at all, because he had a quarrel with Qi Yue and Xiao Yihan over the position of deputy division commander, and it could be said that they had completely fallen out.
Now, it was too difficult for him to shamelessly ask for help. Although Li Suyun racked his brains and thought of every possible way, until the final verdict was issued, they still could not get the letter of understanding issued by the garment factory.
In order to reduce Dong Jianlin's sentence, Li Suyun took out all the family savings, sold the house in her hometown, and borrowed from all her relatives and friends. Finally, there was a small amount left, and Li Kunpeng helped her out, and only then was the payment made up.
In the garment factory, several women shed tears of joy when they received their lost payment.
They also knew that it was all thanks to Chu Jingqiu that they were able to recover the payment for the goods, so they were very grateful to Chu Jingqiu and decided to give Chu Jingqiu an extra 10% in the year-end dividend distribution as a thank you to her.
When Yuan Xingyuan found out that Dong Jianlin had designed this fraud to take revenge on her, she felt very angry, but she was also glad that she had decisively broken up with him.
At the same time, facing several sisters, I felt very guilty, so I took the initiative to treat everyone to a meal to make up for the trouble and hurt I have caused to everyone these days.
Finally, after the court's verdict, Dong Jianlin was sentenced to 20 years in prison for multiple crimes, while Dong Ruifa was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
After experiencing this incident, the garment factory learned from its mistakes, deeply reflected on and strengthened its internal management mechanism, paying particular attention to the implementation of safety measures such as fire prevention and theft prevention, striving to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
In the blink of an eye, winter passed and spring came. The scale of the garment factory was also expanding. Chu Jingqiu and her friends were already in their senior year.
With only one year left before graduation, Lin Zishan and Jiang Qingzhou began to consider bringing their child over from their hometown.
According to Jiang Qingzhou's idea, they would rent a house outside first, and then when they graduated next year, they would find a good job in Beijing. Once the job allocated them a house, they could settle down in Beijing.
However, Lin Zishan hoped to buy a house first. Zhang Pingping, who studied economics, told Lin Zishan that she should learn how to manage her finances. As real estate is an immovable property, its value increase is much more profitable than just putting money in the bank and earning interest.
Therefore, Lin Zishan suggested that it would be best to buy a house for himself, which would be convenient for living in and would also have added value. What's more, Chu Jingqiu, Zhang Pingping and Yuan Xingyuan had already bought a courtyard house, and the distance between their houses was not far.
There was a family living near Yuan Xingyuan's house who was planning to go abroad and wanted to sell their courtyard house. On this weekend, after finishing their work at the garment factory, several people followed Yuan Xingyuan to look at houses.
Yuan Xingyuan led everyone around, twisting and turning until they reached the innermost part of the alley, finally arriving at the gate of a courtyard filled with fragrance. She stopped and gently knocked on the door.
After a while, the door creaked open and a middle-aged woman about forty years old appeared at the door.
As soon as she saw Yuan Xingyuan, she knew that the guests had arrived to view the house, so she warmly welcomed them into the yard.
As soon as Lin Zishan stepped into the courtyard, her eyes were immediately attracted by the two tall crabapple trees in front of the main house.
It was the flowering season, and the two crabapple trees were in full bloom. Petals fluttered gently down from time to time, adding a touch of romance and poetry to the entire yard.
There is a huge fish tank under the tree, and fish are swimming happily in the clear and transparent water.
Chu Jingqiu, Zhang Pingping and Shi Aihong were also attracted by the beautiful scenery. They stood under the crabapple tree, feeling the tranquility and comfort brought by this courtyard.
The middle-aged woman was very happy to see that everyone liked the courtyard so much. She introduced the layout and characteristics of the courtyard in detail, as well as the surrounding living environment and supporting facilities.
Lin Zishan was very satisfied and planned to bring Jiang Qingzhou to see it again in the afternoon. If the price was right, she would buy the house.
Everyone was talking and laughing when an old lady came in leading a little boy who was covered in mud and looked like a little mud monkey.
The old lady said with a look of reproach on her face, "How could you play in the mud, kid? I wasn't watching you for a moment, and you got yourself into this mess. You're so naughty!"
After saying that, the old lady first greeted everyone in the room, then walked into the room, brought out a basin of warm water, and carefully helped the little boy wash off the dirt on his face.
At this moment, Chu Jingqiu was standing in front of the fish tank, feeding the goldfish in the tank with fish food. She looked up inadvertently, and her eyes met the little boy's.
In an instant, she was stunned. The little boy in front of her was actually the little boy named Dunzi who was held hands by Liu Sitian at the zoo that day!
After hesitating for a moment, she called out softly and tentatively, "Dunzi! Are you Dunzi?"
When the little boy heard someone calling his name, he suddenly raised his head, and his big eyes, which had been a little confused, suddenly became bright...
He bit his lip and asked softly, "Are you the aunt who gave me delicious bread and beef jerky?"
Chu Jingqiu nodded gently, walked slowly to him, and said softly, "It's me, Dunzi. Didn't you go back to your hometown? Why are you here?"
The old lady next to her asked in surprise, "Little girl, do you know Dunzi? That's great! My family is going to Country M soon, and we're worried about how to help this child find his family!"
