After leaving Grandma Zhang's house, Li Xiyue went to the post office, mailed the letter of complaint, and then took her household registration book to the educated youth office to register Li Muqing and her brother for going to the countryside, sending them directly to the desert to eat dirt.
Now Li Bowen can't say that she, as the older sister, didn't take care of her younger brother and sister-in-law, can she?
Such a great opportunity to make a name for oneself is something most people don't get.
After registering, I also collected the registration subsidy for the siblings, 300 yuan and some tickets.
After leaving the educated youth office, Li Xiyue went to the home of Zhao Weilin, the deputy director of the textile factory.
Zhao Weilin and his son Zhao Guohua were not at home; only his wife Feng Sufeng was home.
"Are you Xiyue?" Feng Sufeng asked in surprise when she saw the girl in front of her wrapped in gauze, who looked seven or eight parts similar to the young Liao Yujuan.
Li Xiyue nodded, "Aunt Feng, I am..." Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face.
Feng Sufeng panicked and grabbed her, asking her all sorts of questions until she finally got the truth out of her. Her face looked more uncomfortable than if she had swallowed a fly. "This is something my Zhao family has wronged you about. My Guohua, that good-for-nothing, was blinded by greed. How could he get involved with Li Muqing?"
Li Xiyue knew that Feng Sufeng was aware of Zhao Guohua's relationship with Li Muqing. She hadn't expressed her opinion before because the original owner had the support of her maternal grandfather. Now that the original owner's maternal grandfather had an accident, Feng Sufeng tacitly agreed that her son had changed his marriage partner to Li Muqing.
“Aunt Feng, this is a new society now, and arranged marriages between children are no longer common. Comrade Zhao Guohua and my sister are in love. If they just talk to me properly, I will give them my blessing. But they are doing things in secret, and I don’t know what shameful things they have done. It will also ruin the reputation of both our families.”
Upon hearing the first half of Li Xiyue's sentence, Feng Sufeng sighed that the child was sensible and generous. However, upon hearing the second half, her heart sank. Wasn't this clearly saying that the Zhao family had failed in raising their children properly and that their petty theft was shameful?
Ignoring her, Li Xiyue continued, "Aunt Feng, now that things have blown up, I also have to go to the countryside. I came here today to tell you that my marriage to Comrade Zhao Guohua is off."
“You’re a good girl. It’s my son who’s not good enough for you. My Zhao family has wronged you in this matter. Aunt Feng will definitely give you an explanation.” Feng Sufeng thought for a moment, “How about this, you’ll definitely need money and coupons to go to the countryside. I’ll give you some as compensation for what I owe you.”
Li Xiyue remained silent and kept crying.
Feng Sufeng quickly went back into the house, grabbed a wad of cash and tickets, and stuffed them into her hand. "Here's a hundred yuan and some tickets for everyday use. Take these and take good care of yourself when you get to the countryside."
Li Xiyue refused, saying, "Aunt Feng, I can't take this money. My grandfather didn't save you and Comrade Guohua for these things."
Thinking you can get rid of her with just a hundred dollars is wishful thinking.
Feng Sufeng was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and went back into the house. This time she brought out more money and tickets. “Yueyue, don’t be polite with Aunt Feng. Your grandfather and your mother saved my life and Guohua’s life. This money and tickets can’t repay them. This is just a small token of Aunt Feng’s appreciation. Take it and go to the countryside to buy some food and supplies. Consider it Aunt Feng taking care of you on behalf of your deceased mother.”
Despite saying that, Feng Sufeng believed that the money was to repay Li Xiyue's grandfather for saving her and her son's lives, and the marriage between her son and Li Xiyue was thus canceled.
Li Xiyue then accepted the money and said, "Aunt Feng, then I'll thank you on behalf of my mother."
After seeing the girl off, Feng Sufeng turned around and went back into the house. Sitting on the sofa, she looked at the untouched glass of water on the table and wondered why this girl seemed to have come just to ask for money.
Once they were far from the Zhao family's house, Li Xiyue stopped pretending and looked up with a bright smile.
They received another 500 yuan and several receipts.
The Zhao family, as expected of the factory's deputy director, was very generous. However, the Zhao family's attempt to use this money to buy out the original owner's marriage to Zhao Guohua and the original owner's grandfather's life-saving grace was a dead end.
After Xiaobai told her that Feng Sufeng had left in a hurry and that no one was in the Zhao family, Li Xiyue entered the space in a deserted place and teleported into the Zhao family.
They entered a locked bedroom, where a wedding photo of Feng Sufeng and Zhao Weilin was displayed, but it was in black and white and looked like a funeral portrait.
Li Xiyue knew it was Zhao Weilin and Feng Sufeng's house, so she began to search it.
They still found a lot of hidden stashes in the secret compartments; the Zhao couple had far more money than their scumbag father and stepmother.
There were 20,000 in cash alone, along with over 30 small yellow croakers, and countless tickets, gold and silver jewelry, most of which were rare industrial tickets and foreign exchange certificates.
Why do they like to hide cash at home? Because it's all collected privately, and can't be done openly.
