In order to avoid getting them involved, she followed the example of those who had previously cut off ties with their relatives and friends, and made a public announcement, saying that after her father's death, she had been abused while living in Qiao Shilin's home, and that they had attempted to persecute her after returning from the countryside, swapping her marriage for their son's wife. She could not tolerate their selfishness and shamelessness, so she would sever all ties with them from that day forward, draw a clear line, and never have any contact with them again.
With this reputation, no matter what happened in the Qiao Lin family, it had nothing to do with her.
"Mo Mo, these things are just words, there's no evidence to support them. If the neighbors won't testify for you later, it'll be useless even if you draw a clear line with them." Qiao Yuting was not comforted at all, but she thought in her heart that she was careless.
In the second year of junior high school, Qiao Mo told her that he had drawn a clear line between himself and Qiao Yulin's family, but he did not remind her to go to the neighborhood committee to handle the formalities. Alas, she was too ignorant. She did not expect Zhang Meiyu to be so bold as to embezzle state property and become a criminal.
"Aunt, I've already advertised my reputation in the newspaper. Her affairs won't affect us." Qiao Mo went to the study and took out a newspaper to show Qiao Yuting, "Aunt, look, this is my reputation. With this, no matter what their family does, it won't implicate me."
"Okay, okay, now I feel relieved." Qiao Yuting was so excited that tears came out when she heard the voice.
"Auntie, come and have a cup of hot tea to calm your nerves and warm yourself up." Qiao Mo poured her a cup of hot tea. "Did Zhang Meiyun commit a serious crime?"
"Well, not only was she arrested, but several other people were implicated, one of whom was Director Fu. I heard that she will most likely go to jail." Qiao Yuting told her about what happened in the textile factory.
The corruption and bribery were not just Zhang Meiyun's personal actions, but also the work of a small group. They took advantage of their positions and colluded to embezzle state-owned assets, seriously damaging national interests and causing huge consequences. They will definitely be severely punished.
"They are all parasites of the country, and their death is not a pity." Qiao Mo said angrily.
"Yes, it's not a pity for them to die. I hope those innocent people won't be implicated." Qiao Yuting also nodded repeatedly.
"It doesn't matter to them. Just draw a clear line between yourself and them. If you enjoy the benefits with them, then you deserve to be implicated." Qiao Mo said calmly, "Especially those who knew about the incident but didn't report it, and who took advantage of it and are still gloating over it. They should be treated as accomplices."
"What you said makes sense. Now, Qiao Shilin's family is in trouble." Qiao Shilin thought about Qiao Shilin. He must be aware of what Zhang Meiyun did. He was also one of those who knew about it but did not report it. If the government wanted to investigate strictly, he would not be able to escape.
"Aunt, please don't be soft-hearted. My cousin worked so hard to get into college. Don't let your cousin's future be affected by them." Qiao Mo was afraid that she would not understand, so he warned her that it was not that she was hard-hearted, but that Qiao Yulin's family was too hateful.
"No, we haven't been in touch for a long time." Qiao Yuting nodded.
"It's good that you know it yourself, Auntie. You rest here and I'll go cook."
"Momo, I'm going to die. You cook for yourself."
"Let's go after lunch. It's almost twelve o'clock now."
"No, I still have to go to work. If I don't go back, Old He will be dissatisfied." Qiao Yuting hurried over after hearing the news. She did not ask for leave and could not delay any longer.
"Aunt, take some steamed buns back with you. You can eat them by steaming them on the stove at the purchasing station." Qiao Mo really couldn't keep her, so he had to go to the kitchen, took out ten steamed buns from the space, wrapped them in oil paper, put them in a cloth bag, and put a bottle of homemade mushroom sauce in it.
