Chapter 468 Regret
"He Lin is an honest child with skillful hands. There are no girls in his family. He made all the clothes and shoes for their family before he went to the countryside. So, don't worry." Qiao Chengting has been friends with Aunt He for more than ten years. He Lin used to come over often to play, so she knows He Lin quite well.
"It's good that he can make clothes, otherwise I will have to arrange someone to teach him." Qiao Mo nodded.
"Don't worry, he can not only make clothes but also tailor them." Qiao Chengting said with a smile. If He Lin didn't agree, she would definitely find a way to remind her. "Your Aunt He is also very worried now. She really wants He Lin to earn more money and move out to live on his own."
"Isn't their house very spacious? Why would they let a son who hasn't started a family yet move out?" Qiao Mo was surprised. She remembered that Aunt He had said before that their family had enough space and there was no need to buy a house.
"Her house is just a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. It used to be quite spacious, but her two sons are married and their company didn't allocate any houses to them, so they all live at home. He Lin seems redundant," Qiao Chengting said, shaking her head.
"Luckily, He Lin is a college graduate with a promising future. He also lives on campus most of the time, so his two sisters-in-law don't dare to go too far. Otherwise, they would definitely despise him to death."
"If that's the case, He Lin should try his best and ask his cousin to get some electronic watches and calculators from the computer and sell them outside. This way he can make money much faster." Qiao Mo could imagine how inconvenient it would be for a young man like him to sleep in the living room with two sisters-in-law and relatives at home. Besides, he was not young anymore and had to consider the issue of marriage. If he relied solely on his family, he wouldn't even have a wedding room. How could he get married?
As for relying on the company, he is only a sophomore in the second half of the year, and he won't be assigned a job until three years later. Even if he is assigned a job, as a newcomer, it is impossible for him to get a house right away.
"Maybe." Qiao Chengting said without comment. He Lin was a good kid in every way except that he didn't like to talk, and the most important thing for selling things was eloquence.
"Aunt, human potential is unlimited. They're unwilling to change because they haven't been pushed to that point." Qiao Mo whispered, "If my cousin hadn't considered moving out of the Yang family and had nowhere to live, he wouldn't have risked doing business on the black market. If I hadn't wanted to live a better life after returning, I wouldn't have followed Mingyuan and the others into the mountains to hunt for money."
"You're right. Those years were really hard for you." Thinking of the risks her son and niece had taken, she nodded with a sad heart. People only try to change when they are pushed to a certain point. For example, if the Yang family hadn't bullied her too much, she wouldn't have divorced and wouldn't have her current life. "Mo Mo, is there any news about Mingyuan's father and brother and sister-in-law?"
"Both my father and my eldest brother sent me letters not long ago. They are both doing well."
"That's good. There's no mercy on the battlefield. I hope they can all come back safely." Qiao Chengting sighed. With so many people from the Kang family going to the battlefield, how could one not be anxious?
"Yes, they will come back safely." Qiao Mo also hoped that they could all come back safely, but bullets on the battlefield had no eyes, and she didn't know what the outcome would be. Besides, she could do nothing but pray in her heart.
It was getting late, so Qiao Mo chatted with Qiao Chengting for a while and then said goodbye and left.
It was almost midnight when she returned home. Qiao Mo did not go to the Wu family, but took them back to his own home. Because Kang Mingyuan came back late, they could not bear to let Wu Yuanxin and Bai Ge go hungry with them, so they did not eat dinner that day.
