Fu Xia Ling calmed herself down and said to Brother Qiao, "Alright, I know you're doing this for me. Let it go this time, but don't do it next time. My younger sister has it, and it belongs to her. As her brother and sister-in-law, we should help her. Why do you want to do the opposite and ask her to help us? This is inappropriate."
Brother Qiao scratched his head and said, "I understand. From now on, I will do whatever you say. I will work hard to make money and study hard."
Fu Xialing felt that Brother Qiao was unusual today. He actually took the initiative to bring up studying. She tentatively asked, "What else did you experience at my younger sister's house?"
Brother Qiao immediately switched to performance mode, vividly acting out everything that happened today.
Brother Qiao put his hands on his hips and said: Little sister, you are so inhumane that you let your brother-in-law do the questions with a plaster cast on his body.
Sister: Your brother-in-law volunteered.
Brother Qiao: If you fool me, who would voluntarily study?
Girl: If you don’t study, you won’t be able to get into university, which will be embarrassing.
Brother Qiao: So what if I don’t pass the exam? At least I have a stable job.
Girl: Okay, you are not afraid of losing face, but are you afraid of losing your wife?
Brother Qiao: What are you talking about? Your sister-in-law and I have a very good relationship.
Girl: Believe it or not.
After Brother Qiao finished his performance, he looked at Fu Xialing pitifully and said, "Lingzi, we've been together for so many years. It's not easy to be together. If the college entrance examination is reinstated in the future, you won't really abandon me just because I can't get into university, right?"
Fu Xialing had wanted to tease him, but seeing how devastated he looked, she simply said, "Xiaolu, I'm saying this for you. Husband and wife should strive for progress together. If you stay where you are and I keep moving forward, the distance between us will grow, and we'll have less and less common topics to talk about. Then, our marriage will be in name only."
After hearing Fu Xialing's words, Brother Qiao was shocked. He had to admit that Lingzi was right. He said seriously, "I will work hard and I will definitely get into the same university as you. By the way, Lingzi, Xiaolu also said that my brother-in-law's childhood friend's brother has news. Someone is selling a courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang for 3,000 yuan. Do we have enough money? Should we buy it?"
Fu Xia Ling was about to stand up when she heard this. "Come on, come on, we're off today, let's go find my younger sister to look at houses. We have 2,000 yuan in our savings account, and I have about 600 yuan on hand. Let's take a look first and then negotiate the price. If it's not enough, we can borrow some from my parents or colleagues and pay it back later. Courtyards like this are hard to come by, we can't miss it."
Brother Qiao stopped the excited Fu Xialing and said, "Lingzi, slow down. Don't dodge the child."
Fu Xia Ling: "Okay, okay, hurry up, don't waste time."
Captain Liu came over to Qiao Qinglu and brought news about Li Hongzhi and Li Yuanyuan.
Li Hongzhi came back from the farm in the first half of the year. Because he lost his job, he made a scene at Daxing Public Security Bureau and was kicked out. Now he works as a gatekeeper at Hongxing Primary School.
On his days off, Li Hongzhi would hang out in the machinery factory compound and the supply and marketing department. At the beginning of every month, Li Hongzhi would also remit a sum of money to Qingshan County, X City.
Li Yuanyuan is now doing very well. She has devoted herself to Wang Geming, the head of the Qingshan County Revolutionary Committee, and has become his "underground lover". She has then been transferred to work in the County Supply and Marketing Department.
After Captain Liu finished telling the news, he said goodbye. Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu carefully sorted out the news brought by Captain Liu. It seemed that Li Hongzhi and Li Yuanyuan didn't know that they had moved and still thought they were living in the machinery factory compound; they also didn't know that Qiao Qinglu no longer worked at the Supply and Marketing Department.
The plots of Li Yuanyuan and Secretary Qian are very different. It seems that the Li family is very powerful. We don’t need to worry about Li Yuanyuan for the time being, but it seems that we need to find someone to keep an eye on Li Hongzhi.
