Chapter 366 Meet the Parents
Yue Qihong's people checked the goods neatly. Because the price and quantity had been agreed upon long beforehand, the money had also been counted. The largest denomination these days was 10 yuan, and 1,000 yuan was made up of 100 bills, just a bunch of them.
It is winter now, and the clothes are relatively thick. Nowadays, clothes have many pockets and inner pockets, so it is not a problem to put a few things on the body, and there are not that many things anyway.
Jiang Xiurong had something else to do today, so he put the money in his pocket, discussed tomorrow's transaction time with Yue Qihong, and planned to go home to deal with his parents.
Yue Qihong saw that she looked hurried and unhappy, and knew that she must be busy. She didn't say much, but just asked: "Have you encountered anything? Do you need help?"
Jiang Xiurong shook her head: "No, it's a family matter. I'm leaving first."
Jiang Xiurong looked outside the yard and saw that there was no one there, so he climbed over the wall and left.
Yue Qihong's people had to pack the things into bags and distribute manpower to transport the things away.
These are common things, and Yue Qihong doesn't need to worry too much about them.
Yue Qihong looked at Jiang Xiurong's hurriedly leaving back, thought for a moment, and frowned slightly.
Jiang Xiurong had said before that her family had arranged a marriage for her, but she was not satisfied with it and planned to sneak away.
The reason why Jiang Xiurong looked hurried and unhappy today was most likely because of the marriage.
If it were any other time, if Yue Qihong encountered something she wanted to know, she would have asked someone to investigate it long ago.
But Yue Qihong was really moved by Jiang Xiurong. If I had to say it, it was like an old house on fire. Once people are really moved, they will inevitably be sentimental, regardless of gender.
Yue Qihong wanted to ask someone to investigate Jiang Xiurong's background, but she also felt that it was not a good idea to investigate her secretly.
He hesitated for a moment.
For those who are doing well and have close subordinates, most of them are very good at reading other people's expressions, not to mention their loyalty.
One of his secretaries who was in charge of accounting, a job similar to that of a cashier, saw Yue Qihong's expression as she stood there staring at Jiang Xiurong's back like Wangfu Shi, and immediately understood.
As soon as the items were shipped back, the cashier asked someone to inquire about it.
It was easy to find out about Jiang Xiurong's affairs. After all, when she was in the black market, she had already revealed all her past experiences, and many people in the yard had heard about it.
I already have her name, age and address, so it's easy to find her even if I don't know where she lives now.
It goes without saying that Yue Qihong has managed to achieve her current level of success. There must be someone behind her. If she finds out about these things, wouldn't it be easy for her to get the truth?
Jiang Xiurong wiped the pockmarks on her face, returned home, dressed up obediently according to her mother's instructions, and then quietly played the role of a wooden beauty at the dinner table.
As for the money, there was no need to hide it. Even if he was good at hiding things, there was still the risk of being exposed. So he might as well put it all into the system.
Anyway, there are still two more transactions to be made, so when I get the letter of introduction, I can keep the payment for use. I don't even have to pack my clothes, I can just leave empty-handed.
At the dinner table, she nodded to whatever everyone said. She was very sensible and had no opinion of her own.
Seeing her timid look, Zhou's mother was a little dissatisfied. The Zhou family wanted a daughter-in-law who was gentle and docile, but also presentable. After all, for a family like theirs, the daughter-in-law would be needed to deal with people and things in the future.
But then I thought, if I am too opinionated, I will inevitably have other thoughts in the future. Being cowardly has its advantages, and I can just teach him slowly in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou's mother became satisfied again. After all, Jiang Xiurong was good-looking and not a coquettish woman. Her face showed gentleness, kindness and courtesy, and it was hard for the elders not to like her.
The two families finalized the date and discussed the wedding gift, and time was a bit tight.
As mentioned before, the son of the Zhou family had a first love outside. The son of the Zhou family was called Zhou Yuncheng, and that first love was called Bai Lilan. She didn’t come from a good family, and it wasn’t just because she was poor.
Bai Lilan's mother was a kiln lady. She was pretty and famous in the area. Bai Lilan was born in a kiln, and it was hard to say who her biological father was.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this kind of business was not allowed, but Bai Lilan's mother was not able to do other jobs due to her education since childhood. Fortunately, she still had a few old customers, so she switched from open to covert business.
Later, when she got older, she was forced to become a good woman.
Fortunately, Bai Lilan's mother is still somewhat smart. Coming from that kind of place, she knows how to understand people's hearts and is not like some confused people who are still thinking about love.
Her patron abandoned her, and it was not easy for her, a woman with a daughter, to live. After all, that was the way it was in those days. It was impossible to live without a man in the family.
So she married a bachelor of good family background who was unable to find a wife. With her savings, she raised her daughter safely. Not only did she raise her daughter, but she also grew up to be exceptionally beautiful.
Bai Lilan lived in a commune on the outskirts of Shanghai. She was smart and got into a good high school and went to study in the city.
Arriving in the city, she was unfamiliar with the place, which might not be a good thing for others, but for her, it was absolutely the best thing. After all, no one knew her background, and no one would use these things to say anything about her.
She was beautiful and had learned from her mother how to win people's hearts. She looked around the school, comparing family background, looks, and height. After comparing many shops, she finally chose Zhou Yuncheng.
Bai Lilan did have good vision. After all, when she chose Zhou Yuncheng, she only knew that the Zhou family had good conditions. With her background, she had no access to such information.
She only knew that someone in the family was an official, but she didn't understand the specific differences between officials.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very good at controlling men. Zhou Yuncheng also opened the door to a new world for her. Naturally, she would not let go of such a big tree.
As Zhou Yuncheng's first love, he soon fell in love with her and was determined to marry her.
Under the solemn vows, Bai Lilan also began to dream of marrying into a wealthy family.
So Zhou Yuncheng took Bai Lilan back home.
When Zhou's mother saw Bai Lilan for the first time, she looked her up and down, and then she was very sure that she didn't like this girl.
In Zhou's mother's eyes, Bai Lilan looked like a vixen, and she put on a pitiful expression, hiding behind Zhou Yuncheng from time to time.
This will make the son's protective desire explode.
But few mothers can stand it.
However, because he didn't know Bai Lilan's background, he just responded reluctantly and entertained her.
After all, Zhou Yuncheng loved Bai Lilan very much and gave her a lot of financial support. She was wearing good clothes and the gifts she brought to him were quite generous.
At the dinner table, after asking about Bai Lilan's background, Zhou's mother's face turned cold. She put down her chopsticks and started to speak to her son: "How can a daughter raised in such a small family be the daughter-in-law of our Zhou family?
