Chapter 2318
A Decree Issued to Settle the Situation
Comrade Xiao Ren's current dilemma is quite simple.
His decision to retire from the military was not a personal choice.
It's just a matter of time.
There are rumors that the construction corps will be phased out; this is no secret.
Compared to the preparations for war and famine in previous years, the country's main task now is economic development.
Therefore, the construction branches of the military will definitely be the first to face the problem of having no work to do and will eventually be transferred to civilian jobs.
This kind of news is known not only to Xiao Ren and Xiao Song, but also to He Yuzhu.
Even Yu Shui had asked He Yuzhu some time ago whether the possible layoffs would affect her eldest son, Ren Yuan.
Of course, this Xiao Ren is not He Yuzhu's brother-in-law Xiao Ren.
Instead, it was introduced to me by Xiao Song some time ago.
He had originally promised He Yuzhu that he would come to the school-run factory.
What He Yuzhu told him was more in line with Comrade Xiao Ren's interests.
But his wife wanted him to get a job at an oil company.
This put Comrade Xiao Ren in a somewhat difficult position.
This is also a very real problem.
He Yuzhu's factory is just a school-run factory, and there's a ceiling to the level it can reach.
Oil companies, on the other hand, have unlimited potential for growth and limitless possibilities.
He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, then thought for a moment and smiled, "It's not worth causing your family conflicts because of my issues."
My personal suggestion is that since your partner wants you to go there, you should go there first.
It's also a good opportunity to hone my skills in a workplace within a collective organization.
As society becomes more open, individuals' perceptions of collective units will inevitably change.
You can have a good talk with your partner then.
In any case, my door is always open for you.
I will welcome you with open arms whenever you come.
If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you are welcome to consider me a friend...
The fact that someone came to him about this issue shows that Comrade Xiao Ren's heart has already leaned towards that side.
Why would He Yuzhu do things that make things difficult for others?
He Yuzhu had heard Xiao Song talk about Xiao Ren's family situation and knew that Xiao Ren's wife must have some plans for her husband's future.
So at times like this, besides saying a few nice words, he tries to make friends with everyone.
There's not much else he can do.
That's just how talent is; you can't force it.
Of course, He Yuzhu didn't expect that a few years later, Comrade Xiao Ren would actually ask him for money.
Moreover, the loan amounted to over two million yuan, which startled He Yuzhu.
That's a story for another time.
He Yuzhu had just made a lewd gesture to his third senior brother on the phone, clearly quite impatient.
He was instructed to threaten Qin Jingru in his own name.
After all, it would be too much to show off the old lady's and Wang Furong's wills.
This might trigger Qin Jingru's rebellious attitude, making her unwilling to be a puppet in the hands of the elderly couple.
If Qin Jingru throws a tantrum and insists on divorcing Xiao Er, then their attempt to help would be counterproductive.
Besides, even if Qin Jingru read the old couple's letter and promised Xiao Er that she wouldn't cause any more trouble,
She would always feel uneasy about it.
The two of them will have to live together for at least another thirty or forty years. Living with this kind of unease is never a good thing.
In that case, it would be better to let He Yuzhu play the bad guy.
This was also the last thing He Yuzhu could do for his master.
The bond between master and disciple was severed after that phone call.
That evening, the third senior brother really arrived at the Wang family's house.
He spoke sternly to the young man and his wife.
Qin Jingru's eyes had been red and swollen from crying for the past few days, but upon hearing her third senior brother's words, she burst into tears again. This time, however, her eyes were truly filled with fear.
The third senior brother said helplessly, "Jingru, don't cry."
You two should know Zhu Zi's temper.
He said he would definitely do it.
Since Xiao Zhuang had gone to him, he had agreed to stand up for Xiao Zhuang.
Then Jingru, you'd better take Zhu Zi's words to heart.
"Don't let something truly unspeakable happen in the future; by then, it's easy to start but hard to turn back."
"Waaaaah... How can he be so domineering?"
"It's my family's business, I didn't ask him to interfere." Qin Jingru covered her face with her hands and wept bitterly.
The words were clearly directed at He Yuzhu.
The third senior brother sneered, "I'm not just saying this to be sarcastic, but if you two were to go and find him..."
He might not actually be willing to get involved.
This time, Zhu Zi did it out of respect for Da Zhuang, as well as for his master and mistress.
Xiao Er, I've always treated you like a younger brother.
Jingru, I've never treated you like an outsider.
You two, shouldn't you take a good look at yourselves?
So it turns out that Zhu Zi also treated you like his own younger brothers and sisters-in-law.
But now?
Zhu Zi is willing to bear this bad reputation because he plans to cut off all contact with you two in the future.
What led him to this point?
Does he look down on you two?
·····
Think about it carefully, with your hands on your hearts.
This was the first time the third senior brother had spoken so loudly in the Wang family.
He knew what He Yuzhu's choice meant.
He used his reputation among his fellow disciples as a Damocles' sword hanging over Qin Jingru's head, ensuring that she would never dare to have any more troublesome thoughts.
This also deterred the Qin family from plotting against the Wang family again.
He used his reputation to build a protective wall for the Wang family.
As long as He Yuzhu remains in a high position, Qin Jingru and her family won't dare to cause trouble.
But what if He Yuzhu falls into trouble someday?
This family was undoubtedly among the first to rush in and tear apart the He family.
The third senior brother felt a little sorry for that junior brother.
On the contrary, it was Qin Jingru, who was wailing in front of him, that annoyed him quite a bit.
After her third senior brother left, Qin Jingru suddenly stopped crying.
She glared fiercely at Xiao Er, gritting her teeth.
Xiao Er shrank his neck, then straightened his chest and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't have that kind of influence with Brother Zhu."
"You coward..." Qin Jingru never managed to utter a single curse.
In fact, she knew perfectly well that if Xiao Er hadn't been so soft-hearted, he would never have let her cause trouble to this extent.
If she had shown even the slightest favoritism towards her own family, any other man would have slapped her long ago.
She bit her lip until it bled.
After thinking for a long time, she broke off one of her fingernails and said weakly, "I'm going back to my parents' home tomorrow."
I'll give my older brother's family another 500 yuan so he can start a small business.
I will also pass on what the He family said to my brother and my father.
If he acts recklessly again, then I can't control him anymore.
How about this?
She had to talk to the waiter, otherwise she was afraid she would have to send the 500 yuan back to her parents' home tomorrow.
With just one phone call from He Yuzhu, she actually got her own brother arrested.
Then it's all really over.
He Yuzhu's restraint effectively resolved the Wang family's problem.
Even if Qin Jingru felt wronged, she had to do as He Yuzhu said. (End of Chapter)
