From Cultivator to Widow - Chapter 124
That person was Su An. Su An and Pan Jiaye were together. They made an appointment. The other party had extra production lines. They rushed over when they heard the news.
Zhang Gui saw them entering the building, followed him, stood in front of the building, and looked at the neatly dressed waiters, he was embarrassed to go in.
But looking at this building, he felt that he must have seen it wrong, right? It looks like this place, no one dares to enter.
And the second sister-in-law is in the capital, not in the special zone at all.
Thinking like this, Zhang Gui returned to the booth, and the salt chicken they ordered came up, Zhang Gui watched while eating.
He didn’t give up.
“They went in, and they will come out. We can see if we look at it.” Zhou Xiaoqing didn’t give up.
She also wanted to know if it was true. She didn’t see it clearly just now, but only saw a back. She was a little excited. If it was a misunderstanding, it would be okay to say, if it was true, what did she do here without telling them?
And she also walked with a man, what is the relationship?
She couldn’t hide from the Zhang family and found another one, right?
Zhou Xiaoqing thought about it for a while, and was a little excited. Then she felt that this was unlikely. The children were all grown up, and they were very promising. At this time, I was looking for a partner. What are you going to do?
Or do you want to have a company and someone to accompany you?
Not to mention, her job, I can’t figure it out. Her job as a librarian is leisurely and decent. If it is really her, she doesn’t want this job, right?
The two of them tacitly slowed down the speed of eating, obviously they were here to eat food, but at this time, no one was in the mood, and they didn’t know the taste.
Fortunately, it was late at this time, fewer people came to eat, no one was waiting for a seat, and the boss didn’t say anything when he saw that they were eating slowly.
After the matter was settled, the other party’s redundant production lines were won by them, and they also negotiated the willingness of preliminary cooperation.
After the negotiation, everyone separated at the door and went back to their respective homes.
What Zhang Gui saw was indeed Su An, but they didn’t notice that they didn’t come here by two people. In addition to Pan Jiaye, the two of them also brought an assistant.
When Pan Jiaye went home, the two assistants went back to the dormitory of the factory building. Su An planned to go to the small house, so she separated from them, Zhang Gui and Zhou Xiaoqing were still guarding.
That’s what they thought, there’s nothing to do when they go back anyway, and it’s not too late, we’ll just wait here, anyway, she should come out, and there’s no place to stay in that building.
The stall owners packed up and went back, and they squatted on the side of the road.
Waiting and talking under the street light.
They successfully squatted down to Su An.
When he saw Su Hui coming out, Zhang Gui stood up excitedly: “It’s really my second sister-in-law!” The expression on his face was a little tangled, and Zhou Xiaoqing tugged at him: “What are you thinking? She can’t be found after a while.”
The two of them trotted over, waving as they ran.
Noticing that there were two people trotting towards her, Su An looked over, and when she saw them, her brows moved slightly, and it was actually them.
It’s getting late now, why are they here?
And it wasn’t like seeing her by coincidence, Su An stopped and waited for them to come.
Zhang Gui gasped a little: “Second sister-in-law, it’s really you. I just saw you go in, and I thought I’d recognized the wrong person.”
So she was seen when she went in and waited for her to come out?
This perseverance… um.
They were all in the same place, and Su An had already prepared in her heart that she would meet an acquaintance.
“Second sister-in-law, why did you go just now? I saw you entered that building. I didn’t dare to go in that building, so I paid attention to it at the door. If you came out, I could see it. You, whoever went in with you just now, are all gone?”
Su An nodded: “There were three who went in with me just now, and they all went back.”
Zhang Gui: “Who are they?”
“It’s my colleague.”
Zhang Gui laughed: “There are three people, there were quite a lot of people just now, so I couldn’t see clearly.” I don’t know how many people were not with the second sister-in-law, but there was someone talking beside her at the time, so I could be sure that they knew each other. Yes, and from a distance it seems a little intimate.
Zhou Xiaoqing’s eyes flashed: “Your colleague, isn’t your work in the capital?”
Su An hummed: “I quit that job to come here.”
Su Hui disdain to lie, concealment and deception are not the same thing.
“You’ve resigned!” Zhang Gui cried out, he just thought of this possibility, but now that he heard it, he still felt incredible.
Zhou Xiaoqing didn’t speak, and she was a little surprised when she saw her expression. She actually resigned?
Su Hui nodded: “Yes, I resigned. Although my previous job was leisurely, the salary was not high.”
The two of them also work here. They know the salary level here, they know it, but: “You are the pensioner, and no one can fire you. Now these are different, the boss doesn’t like it, and said Maybe you don’t want it, and you don’t know if the next job is available at that time, so you resign like this, and that is an iron rice bowl that can be passed on to future generations.”
Zhang Gui really felt a little pity: “I remember that it can be transferred to others, and there is a transfer fee.”
Su An smiled lightly, this job was originally a job that was given to her, and she would go back and see how the other party arranged it. It would be bad if she was too greedy.
She didn’t answer, and Zhang Gui couldn’t keep asking.
Maybe it was sold for money, but she didn’t say it.
Zhang Gui: “Where are you going now? Where are you going back to your dormitory? I live in the factory now. I haven’t changed jobs. Xiaoqing rented a house. I’ll go there when I have time.”
Zhang Gui asked about Su An’s whereabouts.
“I’ll go back to my house.”
“Your house? Let’s find a door, you bought it?” Zhang Gui was shocked.
I quit my job and came here, I even bought a house! ?
Is the second sister-in-law too fast?
But this house should be a place to stay.
Too good a house to buy.
He hadn’t thought about buying a house here.
The house in my hometown has not been repaired.
Su An nodded: “Come on.”
After all, it is the relatives of several children, and it is okay to let them know the address.
The three walked and talked.
“Second sister-in-law, how long have you been working here?” I don’t know any information at home, I don’t know when she resigned or when she came to the special zone.
Su Hui: “I’ve been here for some time.” Su Hui didn’t say exactly: “I haven’t changed much from before, I have a job before, and now I have my own business, and I’m living well, and there’s nothing special to say. .”
“Second sister-in-law, what you said, aren’t we family? Such a big thing.” He glanced at his daughter-in-law, that is, the capital was too far away, otherwise this job would be so good for his daughter-in-law, leisurely and decent.
“We’ve all separated, and each family has its own way. I’m not a child anymore, so there’s no need to say anything.”
After hearing this, Zhang Gui didn’t speak for a while, yes, the family was separated, and this is the second sister-in-law, not the second brother, even if the second sister-in-law really found a partner, they would have nothing to say.
The second sister-in-law is all right, and the children are all grown up and promising. If people really want to find a partner, they can’t stop them.
Su An took them back to the small house.
Seeing this house, Zhang Gui understands even more why the second sister-in-law didn’t say anything.
And the second sister-in-law is different from them. The second brother is gone. She is relying on herself. If the money is really earned by her alone, then…
Even after he came out to make money, he wouldn’t tell his parents everything. He has a small family. Of course, it is important to take care of his small family. When his mother asks him for money, he is vague and would rather Buying things for her, it is cheaper to buy things here, and if you give money, it will cost more.
Zhou Xiaoqing looked in front of her. When Su An said that the house belonged to her, she lowered her head slightly. The house was actually hers. She lowered her head and bit her lip tightly.
She thought her life was beautiful now, but in comparison, she felt the feeling of being crushed before.
“Sister Su, you’re back.” Aunt Zhao heard the movement.
“Want to cook something to eat?”
“No need, I’ve already eaten, it’s getting late, go and rest.”
When she left, Zhang Gui hesitated: “She is…”
“I asked to come see the house.”
There’s even a babysitter here! Put it in the past, it’s the next person.
Looking at the sofa, TV, refrigerator, etc., it was like the house in the movie. It was actually hers. Zhang Gui was a little restless on the soft sofa.
“Second sister-in-law, what are you doing here? This house is yours… This house doesn’t look cheap. It must cost a lot of money.”
His voice was much weaker.
Su An: “After I came here, I started some small business by myself. The business was okay. Later, it was just right, so I sold the land and built a house. How are you now?”
Zhang Gui rubbed the cup in his hand: “I work in the factory, and she sells cosmetics in the store. What business are you doing? Second sister-in-law, you are so capable.”
Su An took a sip of tea lightly: “When I first came here, I made clothing. As long as the style is good, it is very popular.”
“Does this business make so much money?”
“There are profits and losses, there are risks, and there is instability.”
Zhou Xiaoqing’s tone was a little hoarse: “Aren’t you afraid of accidents when doing business?”
Su An smiled: “There must be risks.”
“What are you going to tell your parents?”
Zhang Gui winked at his daughter-in-law.
What can I say, tell the truth, I can continue to hide it.
“If you go back next time, just say what you want.”
Zhang Gui listened: “Second sister-in-law, don’t you go back? It’s not too far to go back here.”
Su An: “I will go back to the capital for the New Year.”
Zhang Guimo is gone. Several children are in the capital. It is normal to go to the capital, but: “You can also go back a few years ago to see your family, but you haven’t seen each other for a while.”
Zhou Xiaoqing: “You are here, do they know about Bao Guo?”
“I know.” Su An replied to Zhou Xiaoqing’s words first, but didn’t say anything to Zhang Gui: “Let’s see the situation, you see, I just came back from work, I’m usually very busy.” She stood up: “Time It’s getting late, I’m going to take a shower, are you going to work tomorrow?”
It was really late, Zhang Gui stood up: “Yes, I still have to work. I will come to visit on the next day off. My eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law are also here in the special zone. Next time we come together, are you usually at home?”
“No, I’m very busy and often not here.”
“Then this place is empty? Where do you live?”
“The place to work is relatively close.”
Zhang Gui glanced at these closed rooms, which were prepared for Bao Guoweiguo and the others.
Zhang Gui was very excited at this time. It was empty anyway. Could they come and borrow it?
They can also help with housekeeping.
Asking others is not as good as them, they don’t want money, and they believe it.
But now was not the time to bring it up, and he had to think about what to say.
They were walking on the road. It was late at this time and there was no one on the road. Zhang Gui held his daughter-in-law tightly. Although he was there, he was also afraid of accidents. His daughter-in-law was very beautiful.
After walking for a while, Zhou Xiaoqing spoke slowly: “Do you think what she said is true? Did she earn it from her own business?”
“Now that we know where she lives, let’s inquire more about it.” If it’s a lie, it will be seen sooner or later.
Zhou Xiaoqing was silent.
Mood ups and downs.
They didn’t talk to each other on the way. They went back to their residence and washed up. Zhou Xiaoqing tossed and turned on the bed. It was getting late. She had to work tomorrow, so she should go to bed.
But, can’t sleep, tossing and turning.
Zhang Gui can’t sleep either. He sleeps here tonight and will go back tomorrow morning.
Zhou Xiaoqing felt shocked and couldn’t sleep, so why not.
In his mind, the scene he just saw at the second sister-in-law was still in his mind.
Under the street lights, you can also see the small bungalows that cover a large area and are beautifully decorated.
The location is also very good.
It was the house that the second sister-in-law earned by herself, and it was actually the house that she earned by herself!
In contrast, he felt that his time was spent on the dog. How did the second sister-in-law do it?
do business.
Doing business is not so simple, and doing business requires capital.
He can’t even get the money.
Where did the second sister-in-law’s capital come from?
However, the second sister-in-law is different from him. It is difficult for him to borrow money, but if the second sister-in-law is the case, she should be able to do so. She has known people from her previous work, and also has the previous literary talent. He used to be a university teacher, and he must have The savings, and a few nephews, they are so capable, and there are many people who are willing to borrow money. The second sister-in-law didn’t say anything about it, and the nephews didn’t say anything.
Anyway, the shock is a bit big.
If he told his parents, his parents might not believe it.
May also feel angry.
But what if parents are angry? Everyone has already made a living, they have a house and a job outside, and they don’t go back to their hometown if they have nothing to do.
Zhou Xiaoqing thought not only of Su An, but also of her mother’s house. Her parents came back during the period of rehabilitating. Her parents’ situation was not very good. She looked more than 10 years old and was a little scared. , Fortunately, the person came back safely.
Her eldest brother’s condition was not very good in the past, and was looked down upon by others. Now he can’t. He was compensated, and the house they lived in was returned. Not to mention her two younger brothers, they were all admitted to university and were admitted to the university. You don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
The eldest brother is reunited with his parents, the second brother is a teacher in the provincial capital and has his own small family, and He Meimei, the younger brother’s university is in another province, but it’s not bad, he already has someone he likes, yes His classmates, do the math. Among the four brothers and sisters, she is living the worst life. They all have urban hukou, and she is the only one from the countryside.
They all have formal jobs, and the children at home can also enjoy the education in the city. What about her?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she could not accept it. When did her life become the worst one, and she was still complacent?
This is not the life she wants.
When they got up in the morning on the second day, they both had big dark circles on their faces, and they were even teased. They asked the husband and wife to take it easy. Obviously, they had misunderstood what they had done. Such a downhearted look.
Zhang Gui went to work, and he made a small mistake. He came back to his senses and didn’t dare to think about it any more. If he was wrong, he would have to deduct money. and Zhao Laidi are both working on the construction site.
Seeing his brother coming, Zhang Quan asked him what was wrong. If there was nothing wrong, he would not usually come to him at this point.
And the expression on his face didn’t look like he was coming to talk to him.
“Brother, I have something to tell you, are you free now?”
“You wait and I will speak.”
He reported for a while, and sat down in a simple shed next to him: “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
Zhang Gui got straight to the point: “I saw the second sister-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law is also in the special zone. She quit her previous job in the capital and came here to do business. She built her own house here, which is a very beautiful and luxurious small house. , and hired a nanny to watch the house, cook and clean.”
Zhang Quan paused for two seconds: “Aren’t you joking?”
“Of course I’m not joking, it’s true, I saw her, and I went to her house to see it, otherwise I wouldn’t know about it.”
No one spoke for a while, and Zhang Quan said in a muffled voice, “My brother and sister are not doing this properly. There is no news at home for such a big thing. It wasn’t because you bumped into it. I don’t know how long it will be hidden.” Zhang Gui sighed. A voice: “After all, the family is separated, and the second brother is gone.” Anyway, people are worthy of their Zhang family, and they have raised their four children to become talents.
Zhang Quan was originally a little angry, but now there are only wisps of cooking smoke left.
Yes, that makes sense.
She has nothing to feel sorry for their Zhang family.
Just those four nephews, how should I thank her.
After Zhao Laidi found out, she was stunned for a long time, her lips moved, and she remembered the rumor that someone had passed on her a long time ago, and she was sued at the police station.
She is so capable and has such an idea. Now that she is out to do business, it is completely conceivable to hide it from her hometown.
She glanced at her man: “Should we also go to recognize the door?” She thought to see what Zhang Gui said was such a good house.
…
Zhang Chengye has roughly repaired the roads in the village. Cement is rare, and it is unrealistic to pave all the roads with such a large amount.
They are close to the river here, there are many stones, and they also burn tiles and leftovers.
Su An also repaired the road in front of their house and made it more flat. On a rainy day, be careful that it won’t be all mud.
Zhao Xialan came to Su An’s side to water. Su An had a private plot here. After she left home, the private plot was given to Zhao Xialan to grow some vegetables here.
There is a well here, which is very convenient for watering. The gate of the courtyard is usually locked, and it is not easy for others to come in.
After watering, Zhao Xialan checked the doors and windows of the house to see if there were any signs of anyone entering.
no.
She grabbed a handful of vegetables and a few pieces of **** and went back.
Walking on the road, she saw Li Manfen.
Seeing her, Li Manfen stopped: “You just came from her, right?”
They have a tacit understanding with each other and know who she is referring to.
“Did she really not tell you about her before?” Li Manfen’s tone was heavy.
Zhao Xialan knew what she was talking about, because someone wrote back and said that Su An had quit her job to do business in the special zone, made a lot of money, and had a beautiful big house in the special zone.
Zhao Xialan rolled his eyes: “I said it all, I didn’t know it before, if you ask again, the result will be the same.”
Su An had said before that if she planned to go out to earn money and find a job, she could contact her, she could help, and gave her a call.
Other than that, it’s gone. Really, she didn’t know about it until it spread.
Li Manfen walked away with a long face.
Zhao Xialan shook his head.
Looking at Li Manfen’s back, she could very well understand that Su An was hiding this.
What’s wrong, she’s not a child anymore, how old is she, and how much should she earn, tell them bit by bit?
Not a good mother-in-law relationship.
Besides, there is a risk in quitting the job. If you say it, you will definitely not let it go, or if you want to do something, now you are still blaming Su Hui for not being good, but this job was found by others. It is her freedom to do what she wants.
And the current results, doesn’t it mean that her choice is the right one, if she works honestly, how can she build a beautiful house in such a short period of time?
Besides, doing business was explicitly prohibited before, and now I don’t know if it will be banned again, and I don’t know if there is any harm in spreading the word.
If they were caring, they would hide it for fear of an accident. Now, the whole village knows about it.
Do you think everyone will help and scold Su An when it spreads?
The mouth should be reconciled, and behind his back he was watching Li Manfen’s jokes.
Zhao Xialan was also a little excited. She was going to go out to find a job this year, but her man was injured once and couldn’t walk away. She wanted to heal the injury completely. She planned to call Su An after this year.
Go out and wander around.
She is not very demanding, as long as she can earn back the cost of marrying a wife for her two sons, she is satisfied.
Zhang Weiguo was on the phone with his grandfather.
Grandpa and the others knew about Mom’s business in the DC, but they didn’t know the scale of Mom’s business.
After their mother sent them a message, they were mentally prepared.
So I made a special call and explained it to my grandpa.
Mom is the most important thing here. Grandpa is an elder. Grandpa is still okay with them. Give Grandpa a step down and let this breath away.
It is impossible for mother to bow her head and speak softly. Is mother wrong?
no.
It is reasonable that Grandpa can’t get past it.
Perhaps in Grandpa’s opinion, he must know about any major event, and it is best to participate and help make decisions.
But in fact, they have grown up and have their own independent thoughts and abilities. Grandpa has been staying in his hometown and doesn’t know their situation.
If at the beginning of the establishment of the special zone, they were told that their mother resigned and responded to the call to go to the special zone, it is estimated that the grandparents would think that they had lost their minds.
Up to now, it’s not long, but mom has proved herself with her grades that she’s right.
Some paths have to be taken by oneself.
