Chapter 2317
Xiao Ren's Plea for Help
It's best to have only one child.
This matter was publicized a few years ago.
Since the establishment of our new nation, the population has indeed experienced explosive growth.
From the initial 400 million, it has now almost reached 1 billion.
Therefore, one can imagine the pressure from above.
However, this also illustrates a point on the other hand.
Since the reform and opening up, there have been very few reports of food shortages in any place in the past year or two.
Although everyone still doesn't eat well, there's not much oil or fat in the food.
But at least in most areas, people can fill their stomachs.
So those who say there was no development at all before the reform and opening up.
I wonder if feeding one and a half times more people counts as development?
If we can make sure no one dares to bully us, does that count as development?
If you simply open your eyes and look at the world, you can correctly understand the speed of our country's development since its founding.
In previous years, the focus was on publicity, but this year it will be mandatory in cities.
He Yuzhu had no way to deal with this.
Liu Ting wasn't very interested in discussing this topic.
If she can't solve the problem herself, what good will talking about it do besides causing her more distress?
So she was more willing to tell He Yuzhu how much pork cost per pound now, and how many pounds of pork He Yuzhu could buy with his salary...
After all, she can get a sense of accomplishment from these things.
Even though she knew very well that the restaurant she managed was invested and built by her father-in-law.
The gathering of people at the restaurant was also due to He Yuzhu's connections.
But this doesn't stop her from feeling the thrill of watching how many tables of customers come into the store every day, and how much profit each table brings her.
Although she earned her money by relying on He Yuzhu.
But she was also certain that He Yuzhu would not compete with her for this lucrative business.
Even if she were to file for divorce from He Yuzhu now.
He Yuzhu wouldn't even consider asking her to return the restaurant to the He family.
To her, this was He Yuzhu's love for her.
As the couple lay in bed, Liu Ting finally let He Yuzhu go.
They stopped comparing his salary to pork.
Because at this point He Yuzhu had gotten down to business, he was talking about the process of doing ideological work with He An.
"Actually, if the third brother really doesn't have any other ideas, let her stay with us."
It's not like we can't afford to support her.
Your salary is enough to buy over 400 jin of pork!
"How much can she eat..." Liu Ting casually replied.
He Yuzhu rolled his eyes helplessly.
Pork is now 98 cents a pound, and you need a coupon.
He Yuzhu's monthly salary of over four hundred yuan is definitely a high salary these days.
But in Liu Ting's eyes, it was just a day's income for the restaurant.
What she failed to see was that society was rapidly becoming increasingly polarized.
He Yuzhu's salary is considered a very high income these days.
Many ordinary workers earn only a little over four hundred yuan a year.
But compared to Liu Ting, who runs a business, they are nothing.
However, business people like Liu Ting have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in the past year or two.
The only difference is that Liu Ting's restaurant is a licensed and tax-paying business, so it can operate openly and legally.
Many people are still secretly running all sorts of shady small businesses.
For example, Xiao Lan's flower business.
There are also vendors like Xu Damao who set up stalls on Xiushui Street.
There's also the small restaurant run by Yan Jiecheng's family and Wang Xiaoer and his wife.
Xiao Er chose to be honest with his third senior brother, admitting that he had been too easily swayed in the past few years.
By indulging Qin Jingru in everything, Qin Jingru forgot her true nature.
However, Xiao Er went to confess to his third senior brother not because he had been beaten by Qin Jingru.
Instead, ever since the couple returned from Sichuan, their son Dazhuang's grades have plummeted.
Especially on the day the couple fought, Dazhuang ran out of the house crying, and Xiao Er couldn't stop him no matter how much he called. That's when Xiao Er woke up.
The younger brother told his third senior brother that his parents had been devoted to each other for decades.
He never saw his parents fight or argue in front of him.
We've always lived a life of mutual consultation and compromise.
He has never felt panicked or afraid because of his parents' mood swings since he was a child.
"...That's how it is!"
Xiao Er felt he was not a good father.
He was powerless to change Qin Jingru.
So they had no choice but to ask the two of us for help…” The third senior brother didn’t sound too happy on the phone either.
Several days later, the third senior brother made the call to He Yuzhu.
That's because his trust in Xiao Er and his wife had also collapsed.
Therefore, there are some things he needs to investigate.
However, before that, he did arrange for Xiao Zhuang to live on campus.
He led Xiao Zhuang home to get a change of clothes, and he personally took Xiao Zhuang to school.
They also arranged a tutor for the child.
The third senior brother made a guarantee to the child in the name of an elder.
When he goes home next time, his parents will definitely be back to normal.
"So what are you planning to do?" He Yuzhu greeted the person opposite him and asked them to sit down first.
Then he answered the phone.
"Zhu Zi, tell me, should I take out the things the old lady left me?" The third senior brother on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, but then said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
What is that?
Before he passed away, Wang Furong left a letter for the old lady.
Before she passed away, the old lady left another letter for her third senior brother.
The elderly couple both mentioned the same thing in their letters.
If the young couple acts recklessly,
Then let Third Senior Brother take back all of the Wang family's house and money.
To keep on behalf of someone
I'll give it to Xiao Zhuang later.
Although this rule is old-fashioned, it should still have some binding force on Xiao Er and his wife.
In this world, things aren't just about legal effects; sometimes, an elderly person's last words can be quite impactful.
Putting everything else aside, what if Third Senior Brother were to take out those two letters?
He Yuzhu and his apprentices all had to go to the Wang family to act as witnesses.
If Qin Jingru dares to deny it,
He Yuzhu might just make a phone call to the commune where Qinjiacun is located, asking the leaders there to control a certain villager who is addicted to gambling.
"Hehehe..." He Yuzhu chuckled dryly.
After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "How can the waiter make a living?"
This kind of thing can be resolved by talking to the couple directly.
Qin Jingru should have the brains.
……
Just say what I said. If she doesn't listen, I can be the bad guy.
I'll either ruin her family or make them a complete mess of things.
Okay, that's settled then!
After he hung up the phone, he looked at the somewhat well-off and refined young man on the other end of the line, smiled apologetically, and said, "Xiao Ren, I'm sorry you had to see this."
Every family has its cupboard!
Ugh……
Some things, even if I don't want to get involved, will still find their way to me.
Comrade Xiao Ren was wearing a faded green military uniform, but the red collar tabs were gone.
He smiled gently and said, "Principal He, it's all the same."
I'm also facing a difficulty now.
