Father Xu was a violent man, and even his favored younger son was beaten by him. It was not easy to get angry. Mother Xu was crying and howling, holding her head and kept calling for help, but her little son, who was like a darling, hid in the corner and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being affected.
The Xu family tossed around and completely recognized Xu Zifan's status in Donghe County. There were several people guarding outside, and they couldn't get out, so they were a little disheartened.
But this time, Xu Zifan only detained them for one day, and put them on the train the next day. Xu Zifan said to them coldly: "Seeing that you are so capable of making trouble, it should be that you chose not to use our pension. Then you can go back and work hard, and have a good time with the little son you like."
No matter what Father Xu and Mother Xu said, Xu Zifan didn't answer them and left.
As Xu Zifan said before, he was never afraid of the Xu family making trouble, what could they make trouble? Apart from calling him unfilial, they had no reason to accuse him. And he established a pension fund, and he funded the junior high and primary schools. No one would believe that he was an unfilial son, no matter how many elderly people and children he helped. If he is unfilial, there must be a reason. As for those who questioned him, even if there was no such thing, they would question him, and nothing would affect him at all.
He directly shut up the Xu family when they came over, in fact, to let them fully understand that he didn't intend to get used to them, and don't try to make him obedient in any way. The more indifferent he behaves at the first time, the more he will let them know his firmness, and then they will know that stalking is useless, otherwise Xu's mother will be annoying to death by crying, making trouble, and hanging herself.
And then let them go out for a circle, also to let them know that they can't make another result, doing all this is useless, so as to beat them psychologically, make them feel powerless and disheartened .
Xu Zifan also just tried to test whether he really has such a high status in the hearts of the people of Donghe County. Although he has been like a soil emperor all these years, after all, the society is changing, and people's hearts are easy to fluctuate. If the people followed the Xu family to accuse him this time, then he planned to leave here and go to Beijing to develop. Of course he won't do things that don't get good things, and if everyone is not grateful, what he does for Donghe County will stop.
The result of the test was very good, so he had the confidence to do more things. He had always prepared a plan for everyone to raise money and lead everyone to become prosperous together, but this time he really prepared to take it out.
The five-story department store he built is almost finished. The top floor is a cinema and restaurant, the fourth floor is a playground and game hall, the third floor is homeware, the second floor is clothing accessories, and the first floor is scattered groceries.
This department store is completely ahead of its time. The cinemas, restaurants, and playgrounds have introduced the most advanced equipment and look very high-end. The goods sold on the other three floors are all semi-enclosed shops in the middle, selling cheap goods, and spacious shops around them selling high-priced goods. Neat, regular, clearly classified, and basically contains all the things people need in life. If you want to add anything to your home, come to the department store and you will have it all!
This department store building is expected to become a landmark building in Donghe County for many years to come. The plan proposed by Xu Zifan this time is that all the expenses for the operation of the department store will be jointly funded by the residents of the original Hexi Village, and the share will be calculated according to the amount of investment, and dividends will be distributed to everyone every year.
Over the years, he has been leading the villagers to work together, open factories and schools together, and he does have a very united feeling of being one of his own. He once told President Liu and the others that at first, the villagers worked tirelessly to open the factory with him. Although this was his perfunctory words, the villagers did not have much thought at that time, just because he replaced them with some defective products. , and supported him to follow him through the initial difficulties of building the factory.
This love is to be remembered. And over the years, he has opened pig farms, chicken farms, fish ponds, orchards, and engineering teams. No matter who he dispatches to wherever, everyone is immediately in place and working hard. No matter what their original intentions were, they were indeed very simple folks, and with their support, he was able to accomplish so many things in this age of limited hands.
So now, in the best of times, he wants to bring them rich together.
Of course, this certainly does not include Su Qing. When Xu Zifan took the Xu family on the train, he guessed that it was Su Qing who gave them directions, because Xu's mother scolded him when she was agitated, such things like "inserting in the door" and "not laying eggs" were too much like someone deliberately provoked. . He asked Xu Zilong at the time, Xu Zilong was afraid of him, and honestly answered that he met a young woman.
Xu Zifan guessed from his description that the woman was Su Qing, and when he turned around to check, Su Qing really did not go to the store after leaving the compound. He didn't understand why Su Qing was always staring at his family. Back then, their affairs had already been cleared up. After so many years, why was it so bad
But whether Su Qing was jealous, unwilling, or simply wanted to see them unlucky, he had to settle accounts with her.
Su Qing soon began to be unlucky. Not long after the economy opened up, rules for many things were being formulated, some of which were strictly enforced and some of which were looser. Because most of them are their own people, Donghe County is naturally caught loose. Su Qing's shop had many irregularities, and she was suddenly given a strict investigation, and the various fines made her furious.
But she didn't deal with this kind of thing, she could only blame herself for not being rigorous enough. She wants Wu Zhigang to help, but Wu Zhi has not been in office for a long time, how can he manage this kind of thing through the back door? Just let her go bankrupt.
However, things are not that simple. Su Qing uses the strictest review in opening a store, and it becomes difficult for her to make some money. Her piece of land was also returned. She didn't plant it and no one was willing to rent it, so she could only waste it there. When she didn't do anything well, Aunt Wu couldn't help muttering when she saw her, thinking she was a broom star. The old man is superstitious, mentioning Yang Wanyun and saying that she is a lucky star, look at what the Yang family has grown up to now, and then look at her, she is really unlucky to look at.
When Aunt Wu and Wu Zhigang were murmuring, Su Qing overheard them, and the Wu family broke out into a fierce battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Wu Zhigang asked Aunt Wu not to say this in the future, but he was also very disgusted with Su Qing's attitude towards her mother-in-law. Seeing this, Su Qing went mad and went to live in the old house. Whenever she thought of the word "broom star", she felt like a needle pierced her heart.
She has lived two lifetimes, and her experience with Yang Wanyun is simply the comparison of "Broom Star" and "Prosperous Fuming"!
She doesn't believe this, but Yang Wanyun is the thorn in her heart, and now all the facts tell her like this, she is the fate, Kefu, and broom star! Otherwise, why is she reborn, and others still live better than her
Su Qing was so unlucky that drinking cold water stuck between her teeth. Basically, she couldn't make any money in Donghe County. Now only money can give her a sense of security. Seeing that all the original villagers have joined the financing and waiting to receive dividends, and she is the only one left out, she feels uncomfortable.
Wu Zhigang also saw that she must have offended Xu Zifan again, and was very dissatisfied with her. However, at this time, divorce is not desirable, especially if public officials are divorced, they are more likely to be criticized. Aunt Wu was in a hurry to hug her grandson, so she urged Wu Zhigang to take Su Qing back. This time, Aunt Wu also wanted to understand, what happened to Su Qingai, she made delicious and nutritious food for the two of them every day, and when the child was born, she would take good care of her grandson.
Su Qing was already angry, and drinking those tonic soups every day made her even more angry. Especially since she can't make money at the moment, she has been working hard for a day outside, and she can't feel the care of her family when she gets home, which makes her especially want to move out and live on her own.
After a period of time, her stomach didn't move, Wu Zhigang said to go to the hospital with her for an examination. Su Qing is of course dead and alive. When she refused, Aunt Wu murmured in her heart, and every day she looked at Su Qing with suspicion. She had a bad impression of Su Qing at first, and Su Qing had indeed taken a fancy to Xu Zifan and had an outsider. At that time, Wu Zhigang went home as soon as he majored, and Su Qing was unwilling in all kinds of ways. Could it be that he has been hooking up with men when he lived there for a few years
This kind of suspicion has always been what Aunt Wu thinks and feels right, and Su Qing has never been able to conceive a child. She also wonders if it is because she secretly aborted the child or something, or why is Su Qing's reaction so wrong? The relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law became increasingly tense, and Wu Zhigang was also very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle. She couldn't make any sense with Su Qing. When it came to examination, she had various excuses to quarrel, which made people physically and mentally exhausted.
The fuse that finally broke out was Wu Xiaomei, who was pregnant with a second child! At this time, family planning has already been proposed, but they have not been particularly strict or inhumane. If they are pregnant, they will have to pay a lot of fines, but they will not force people to have abortions. Wu Xiaomei just came to report the good news to Aunt Wu, but Su Qing's nerves were triggered again, she always felt that their mothers were deliberately saying these things to run on her.
Wu Xiaomei was not used to her, and when she saw her face, she said: "You don't welcome me? I heard that you haven't paid a cent of the money you earned. I'm eating my brother's house, so you don't welcome me. You have to hold back!"
Su Qing said angrily: "What do you mean? How the two of us spend money on your business? Your sister is still in charge of your brother's housework? When you are pregnant, you stay at home honestly. If something happens to my house. By whom?"
"Why are you talking? A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" Wu Xiaomei stood up and was about to quarrel with her, and Aunt Wu hurriedly grabbed her. Wu Xiaomei suddenly thought of the suspicion that Aunt Wu had told her, that Su Qing could not give birth. Aunt Wu is not easy to say, but Wu Xiaomei simply took advantage of this quarrel to ask, "Why do you see me being so unpleasant? Didn't I just have a second child? Oh, you can't be jealous of me by yourself, right? You have the ability. Live!"
Su Qing grabbed the apple on the table and threw it over, "Go away! It's none of your business whether I'm born or not."
"You don't even dare to go to the hospital, you have a guilty conscience, right? What have you done? Why don't you dare to go to the hospital? I see that you have been dressed up for the past few years. Maybe you are doing something behind your back? You are worthy of my brother. ?"
"You fart! How dare you slander me? Don't think about leaving today, don't think about going out this door unless you give me an explanation!" Su Qing stepped forward and grabbed Wu Xiaomei and shouted.
Wu Xiaomei pushed her away, hid to the side, and scolded: "Is it right? If you didn't do something sorry for my brother, then go to the hospital, why don't you dare to go? I'll ask you today, Why don't you go? You can't say it because you have a guilty conscience? You have always liked to hook up with men, did you have an abortion before you dared to go?"
Su Qing said angrily: "You just had an abortion! I didn't go because I've been there! I can't give birth, are you satisfied?!"
Wu Xiaomei calmed down and supported Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu looked at Su Qing in shock, "What did you say? Have you been there? Have you checked? You, you can't give birth?"
Su Qing looked at them with disgust, "Why can't I give birth? I can't give birth! Don't insult me with those disgusting things, because you can think of it and still have an abortion, bah, I've never seen my brother in such a hurry. and son with a cuckold on his head."
At this time, Wu Zhigang came back, and just heard her last sentence, and couldn't believe it: "What are you talking about? What can't be born innately?"
"That's what you heard, the doctor said that I haven't developed well and can't have a baby." She stared at Wu Zhigang and said, "What's wrong with not having a baby? Isn't it the same as wanting a child to adopt a baby? Do you think so?"
Wu Zhigang frowned instantly, how could it be the same? That's not personal.
His performance has already let Su Qing know his answer, no one in the room said anything, and finally Wu Xiaomei broke the silence awkwardly and whispered: "Brother, don't blame me, I, I just want to force her to tell the truth. I'm talking nonsense. That, that, I'll go back first, and Mom will let me live there for two days, so you two can discuss it for yourself."
Wu Xiaomei helped Aunt Wu pack up some clothes, dragged her and hurried away. Su Qing looked at Wu Zhigang and asked, "You don't want to adopt a child? Then what should you do if you want a child? Do you want someone else to give birth?"
Wu Zhigang frowned even more, sat down and said, "You can always find a way."
Su Qing sneered, "No way! Divorce!"
Wu Zhigang was stunned for a while, looking at Su Qing's indifferent appearance, he was actually relieved. Their marriage was full of reluctance from the beginning. Although there were times of harmony in the process, Su Qing has been eccentric since he changed his career and returned home, and seemed to dislike him faintly. He has always been very proud of his achievements, and really dislikes Su Qing's attitude. Now that Su Qing can't have children, he is a very traditional man who really wants his own blood. Since Su Qing asked for a divorce, he simply agreed, "Okay."
Divorce is a very deviant thing in the eyes of people at this time, especially here, everyone gets along very harmoniously, and there are no particularly noisy people. Wu Zhigang and Su Qing are their first divorced couple. But when everyone knew that the divorce was proposed by Su Qing, they felt it was very good. Su Qing's personality was worrying, and Wu Zhigang's divorce was to get rid of her.
Su Qing is going to leave Donghe County this time. Since Donghe County can't accommodate her, she can't wait anymore. The world outside is vast. When she moved, she met Xu Zifan and Yang Wanyun outside, and they were sending the old doctor away.
Su Qing was unwilling and said coldly, "Xu Zifan, you used this despicable method to force me away, are you still a man!"
Xu Zifan glanced at her, "What means? A means of abiding by the law? It's the right choice for you to leave, so as not to continue to come out and get in the way."
"you-"
Just as Su Qing was about to speak, Yang Wanyun suddenly retched twice, Xu Zifan turned around and smoothed her back, and asked the old doctor politely, "Uncle Lin, do you have any plums, snacks, etc., that can make Wanyun? Feel better?"
The old doctor smiled and waved his hand, "During pregnancy, everyone's constitution is different, so it may not work. You can try it. Every pregnant woman likes to eat different things."
"Okay, I will trouble Lin Bo today."
"No trouble, I'll just bring a bottle of good wine next time."
The old doctor left, Su Qing's eyes widened, staring at Yang Wanyun's belly, "Yang Wanyun, are you pregnant? Are you pregnant?!"
Yang Wanyun frowned and said to Xu Zifan, "Let's go back."
"Yeah." Xu Zifan took two steps, turned around and said to Su Qing, "You know what you said to my parents. But you think wrongly, even if we don't have children, I will tell Wan Yun. Just as good."
After Xu Zifan and Yang Wanyun left, Su Qing couldn't help comparing Xu Zifan and Wu Zhigang. She knew that Xu Zifan didn't lie, because in her last life, she didn't have children until she was 30 years old, and Xu Zifan didn't say anything. He didn't care about children like Wu Zhigang did. So, if she didn't plan on Xu Zifan and Yang Wanyun when she was reborn, if she still married Xu Zifan, if she used the prophet to help Xu Zifan set up a factory, would she be very happy now
How capable is Xu Zifan now? He still doesn't care if his wife can give birth or not. Why did she want to marry Wu Zhigang because of lard in the first place? She can't make any money these days, and after spending more time at home, she finds that their quality of life is far inferior to when she lived alone. How much money can Wu Zhigang earn even as a deputy director? How many years will it take for him to save money? Especially Donghe County, which is managed by Yang Yongqing, is very clean, and Wu Zhigang has no chance to save money at all!
There is no benefit to her marrying Wu Zhigang, and she has to endure Aunt Wu and Xiaomei Wu, just to add to herself. Fortunately, now that she is divorced, there are many more opportunities for her to leave here.
Su Qing disposed of all the property here and left with the money, no one cared where she went.
The completion of the department store will not only give the villagers profit dividends, but also provide them with many opportunities to make money. The population of the county is increasing, and there are so many jobs all at once, so everyone has something to do. It is much cheaper to rent a shop in a department store than to open a store outside. This time anyone who wants to do business can come and try it.
Immediately afterwards, the first garden community built by Xu Zifan was completed. It is all three-story buildings, and the greening is done very well. There is a yard on the first floor, which does not block the light. There is a policy for houses in the community, with a 30% discount for buying a house with household registration in the county. After this policy came out, almost all the villagers in the former Xihe Village bought houses and moved in. In this way, they are all gathered together again, and the later residents of the county can only wait for the community built in the back.
Xu Xiaofen learned from classmates in Beijing that the three members of the Xu family received an interview and went to the newspaper to accuse them of being unfilial. But it did not have any effect, and it only appeared in the tabloids circulating in Beijing. Then Xu Zifan's department store and garden community became famous, and this matter was covered all of a sudden. Compared with Xu Zifan's housework, everyone still wants to know how many fantastic ideas Xu Zifan has and how far he is going to do it.
The Xu family couldn't make a fuss, so they had to admit it and called Xu Zifan to choose a compromise. They wanted to come to Xu Zifan's side, but Xu Zifan didn't agree, only agreed to give them money every month. Xu Xiaofen is the same, they only came once when Xu Xiaofen got married. And most of their money was eaten by Xu Zilong, and this Xu Zifan didn't care. Anyway, he gave them old age. As for what kind of life they wanted to live, it was none of his business.
They raised an old son with their own hands. In a sense, they deserved their hard work in their later years.
Yang Wanyun gave birth to a daughter. After becoming a mother, her mind became more delicate and her understanding of life was much different. The books she wrote were loved by more people. After the right person at the school took over, she quit her school job to concentrate on writing. The society is changing, and the constraints on writing are gradually decreasing. She can finally let go of writing the stories in her heart, and she has written several best-selling books in just a few years.
Xu Zifan also conforms to the trend of the times. After real estate, he has opened a taxi company, an express logistics company, an Internet company, etc. There are more and more industries, and his value is getting higher and higher. The villagers who followed him at the beginning had all lived in two-story villas, each had their own business, and became the group of people who got rich first.
Mayor Liu retired, Yang Yongqing retired, Wu Zhigang married a new wife and gave birth to a son, and Donghe County gradually became Donghe City. Many, many changes have taken place in this place. The only thing that has not changed is that people's support for Xu Zifan is still there. That is a kind of belief and gratitude to him. Of course, Xu Zifan didn't use this gratitude to do anything. On the contrary, he was very keen on charity, and taught everyone not to be mercenary by himself.
After Yang Yongqing retired, Xu Zifan also handed over most of the work to others. Accompany Yang Wanyun and take the second old man to travel around, to see what different scenery the outside world has. Yang Wanyun is a writer. Traveling and seeing various customs and people will always trigger her inspiration. She is getting happier and more satisfied in this kind of life.
After Yang Wanyun won a bookcase trophy and certificate, and was highly recognized by the literary world, she said to Xu Zifan for the first time, "Thank you for encouraging me to write, thank you for giving me a hotbed for growth, thank you for showing me the whole world The world. I really, really love this business and thank you very much."
Xu Zifan helped her smooth the hair from her ear, and said with a smile, "What are you doing out of this all of a sudden? We two need to say thank you?"
"I knew you would talk about foreign affairs, so I haven't said it for so many years. Today I saw Su Qing, she was in a very downturn, and I suddenly wanted to let you know. I really thank Su Qing, if it wasn't for her scheming We, how can I marry you and become a better version of myself? My life has been full, and every day has not been wasted, and this is because of you."
During their golden wedding ceremony, it was specially reported on TV. A legend who is the richest man in the country and drives the whole village to become a rich man, and the warm love of a literary giant makes many people yearn for it. From their era, the love that was not strong and full of passion, the precious love that encouraged, supported and cherished each other was actually very extraordinary, and this was the happiness that belonged to Yang Wanyun.
When Su Qing saw them on TV, she was cleaning the nursing home. She stopped and looked at the people on the TV, tears streaming down her face unconsciously. After she left Donghe County, she obviously made money. She also bought a house and a car. When she was 30 years old, she remembered that the stock market would skyrocket, and any share she bought would go up, so she hurriedly put money in, and when she found that it had risen a lot, she simply put all her money in.
She believed in the memories of her past life, and the stock market's constant rise gave her a lot of confidence. She only lived to be 30 years old in her last life, and she doesn't know about the rest of her life, but she has asked many people and seen many experts predict that the stock market will continue to rise. Who would have thought that she would be trapped in the end!
She lost all her savings and had to sell her car and live in a clothing store. But there are more and more people doing business, more and more large factories are established, and their clothes look good. The "new style" in her memory was quickly eliminated. She doesn't know how to design clothes, so she can only sell goods like others, and the income is naturally similar to others, nothing new.
She was reborn, but she was wiped out by everyone. She was unwilling and under a lot of pressure, and gradually fell in love with playing cards and buying lottery tickets. At first, it was just a small fight, but the more unsatisfactory life became, the more indulgent she became, hoping that one day she would become rich overnight and live the life she wanted. But luck didn't favor her, as a result of her addiction to these, she lost all the shops and houses! She went back to the same days as the previous life, working hard, working everywhere, in order to have a suitable place to live, and finally became a cleaning aunt in a nursing home, living the life she disliked the most.
When she saw Xu Zifan on TV, she felt so regretful, why didn't she marry Xu Zifan in the first place? Even if you don't marry Xu Zifan, why not stay in Hexi Village and be an ordinary villager? Those villagers are now rich generation. And when the stock went up, why didn't she sell it in time? Otherwise she is a rich woman. How many good opportunities has she missed in this lifetime
And Yang Wanyun thought a lot when she saw Su Qing that day, and she felt very lucky. It is not that she is fortunate to be married to Xu Zifan, but she is glad that she has worked hard enough to finally achieve something and reach a height that is enough to be side by side with Xu Zifan. If she had only been a carefree little wife from the beginning, then even if Xu Zifan did not change his mind all his life, she might not be happy!
Yang Wanyun mentioned it to Xu Xiaofen afterwards, and both of them were a little embarrassed. Su Qing fell to such a point, didn't she make it all by herself? There are countless opportunities in life, but you have to cherish them to seize them. Blindly thinking of getting something for nothing, thinking that the pie will fall from the sky, it has never been impossible, and it will only hurt yourself in the end.
Fortunately, Xu Zifan changed them, not only in their lives, but also in their thoughts. They seized the opportunity, worked hard, and finally achieved success and happiness. If their lives are to be repeated again, they may not be more satisfied than they are now, because they have not "cut corners" in their lives, and they have cherished them enough.
