Lin Qinglian saw the money on the tailor's table, but she didn't chase it out and return it to others.
Su Li was deeply puzzled by this. So he walked over, picked up the money, and said tentatively:
"Mom, then this money..."
Lin Qinglian's eyes were blank and sad, and she let out a long sigh: "No need to pay it back, that's what our family deserves!"
Su Li was stunned.
"I won't hide it from you now. You, Fang Ling is the one who killed your father."
Su Li opened his eyes and pointed at the leaving figure outside the door: "Fang Ling? Are you talking about her?"
Is that wrong?
The person who killed your husband is local, but you let her get away with it?
"No! Her sister!"
It turns out that this is a sad and helpless story.
*
The woman just now is called Fang Mi. She was a workshop apprentice in a cotton spinning factory, studying under Shu Aimin. However, because of her good looks and uneasiness about the status quo, she only worked in the factory for half a year before following her sister to work south.
It is unknown what occupations the two sisters had in the south. Lin Qinglian only knew that Fang Mi stayed with Wu Kan's father in Shenzhen and "returned to her hometown" a few years later.
When she learned that her master and his wife were also resigning to go to Shenzhen, out of good intentions, Fang Mi gave her sister's contact information to Shu Aimin. Therefore, the Fang sisters played an important role in Lin Qinglian and his wife being appreciated by the Hong Kong boss.
But later, for some unknown reason, Fang Ling drove drunk and killed Shu Aimin. This made the relationship between the two parties awkward. Although Lin Qinglian also knew that the matter had nothing to do with Fang Mi, she had already returned to Hecheng when the incident occurred...
But the knot in my heart just can’t be solved!
After Lin Qinglian returned to her hometown, Fang Ling remitted money from Shenzhen several times, but Lin Qinglian refused to accept it. She claimed that her boss in Hong Kong had already paid compensation, and there was no need for Fang Ling to pretend any more.
*
After listening, Su Li suddenly found the key point: "Yes, since the settlement has been settled out of court and the compensation has been paid, why does Fang Ling still have to pay?"
She didn't believe that Fang Ling was doing it out of guilt...
As expected, Lin Qinglian snorted bitterly:
"You feel guilty for being a thief, you are afraid that I will suddenly turn against you!"
"Have you ever thought about overturning the case in the past few years?" Su Li asked.
I always feel that Lin Qinglian, as a family member of the victim, is so talkative about the case because she has some inside information.
"Since I agreed to the out-of-court settlement, I will not reverse the case. I am just a guilty-minded person who does not believe it."
Su Li was very puzzled by what she heard. She couldn't figure out why she didn't reverse the case? But it was hard to get to the bottom of it. Lin Qinglian was not a money-grubbing person. She couldn't exchange her husband's life for money.
Could it be that his character is too cowardly?
"So this thousand yuan is also what Fang Ling meant?"
Lin Qinglian lowered her eyes and nodded.
"Since you refused the previous few times, why not this time..."
Lin Qinglian raised her eyes bitterly: "Because Mom really has no money!"
Su Li:……
I never had to worry about money in my previous life, but now that I have experienced it myself, I can’t describe what it’s like.
"After I heard that I was determined to move out this morning, they made another payment." Lin Qinglian took out two crumpled fifty yuan sheets from her pocket and smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes, "This hundred yuan is...
All our belongings are gone."
Su Li's heart suddenly became heavy, but she still squeezed out a smile to comfort Lin Qinglian:
"Mom, you did nothing wrong. As human beings, we have to assess the situation and not be too willing to bend or bend. But we can't take the money for no reason... Let me see it this way. Since Fang Mi wants you to make ten dresses for her, we will
Do as she says!"
"Yeah." Lin Qinglian nodded helplessly.
This is undoubtedly the best way, but Su Li ignored one point...
As mentioned earlier, there was a rumor in the class in my previous life: After the farce last night, the Wu family happily paid a thousand yuan!
Obviously, it is not groundless, it is just spreading lies and distorting the facts!
Although Zurich ignored this point at the moment, he paid attention to another thing:
"By the way, Mom, does Wu Kan know about these things between the Fang sisters and our family?"
"Even his old man was kept in the dark, how could Wu Kan know?" Lin Qinglian looked at the door blankly and sadly, her haggard face and unstretched brows seemed to be hiding an unspeakable secret.
Su Li saw it, but felt it was hard to ask. The truth will be revealed one day, so let’s learn about it slowly in the future!
——
Making ten dresses is not a simple job. In order to deliver the goods as soon as possible, Su Li stayed at the tailor shop to help in the afternoon and learned a lot about fashion tailoring from Lin Qinglian.
But it is still difficult for her to get started now. In the evening, Su Li made a sunny doll out of scrap rags. During the process, she couldn't help but miss her daughter Nannan...
How wonderful it would be if her daughter also traveled through the soul with her!
But mother and daughter were separated, so Su Li named Qingtian's baby "Nan Nan" and put it in Shu Li's schoolbag. She planned to keep it with her at all times, as if her daughter had never been separated from her.
In view of Lin Qinglian's repeated instructions to "prepare well for the exam", Su Li had no choice but to put the plan of "buying a house on Jianzi Street" on hold until the college entrance examination is over before starting again.
But funding is always an issue!
Now it seems that it is a bit difficult to raise money from Lin Qinglian, so Su Li plans to do it herself. She has not yet figured out how to implement it. She has never been a person who likes to borrow money. In her previous life, except for business loans, she almost never borrowed money.
——
The sun rises on Monday and a new day has arrived!
Zu Li was in high spirits. Riding on Shuli's 24 bicycle, facing the cool breeze in the early summer morning, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed and comfortable.
Returning to the old days in her hometown, she was full of hopes for her senior year in high school (7th grade). Youthful smiling faces flashed through her memory, and they seemed to be waving to her enthusiastically, saying:
"Susu, come back quickly! We are waiting for you here!"
Familiar names flashed through my mind one by one. In addition to the boys and girls mentioned above, there were also four university tyrants who were known as "dumb in the east and stupid in the west, blunt in the south and dumb in the north."
Yes, the top academics in the 1990s are not necessarily very smart and spiritual people.
Many students from poor families study rote books and make others stupid before they squeeze into the university. Especially in liberal arts, rote memorization has become the special skill of their class, which is "dumb in one thing and stupid in the other, stupid in the south and stupid in the north".
This can explain that after many years of being Mao, their generation has done well in society, and they are not the top academics at the beginning. People like Wu Kan, who did not have a college degree, were able to turn his father's leather shoe factory on the verge of bankruptcy into a
The tide is rising.
No matter what, Su Li is now returning to the school of eighteen with a forty-year-old soul, which is an exciting thing anyway.
But, I can’t be excited for even a moment!
As soon as she parked her bicycle after entering the school, she was confused. Facing the familiar dormitory building in the last row, she was at a loss...
Damn it, I don’t even remember which floor or room the dormitory is on!
After so many years, not to mention Shu Li’s, she doesn’t even remember her own dormitory!
Oh no, it seems that she did not live on campus in the last semester of her senior year of high school and started to study as a day student.
Shu Li seems to have been living on campus...
Where is the dormitory located?
I want to ask someone to ask, but it is so early in the morning, the corridors of the dormitory building are empty, and the students seem to have not gotten up yet?
What time is it now, why don't you get up?
Mr. Wuli Su started to feel irritable again. At this time, an angry voice came from behind him:
"That classmate! Which class are you in?"
Looking back, he saw an unknown teacher with a red armband on his arm. Su Li immediately thought he was an officer on duty and ran over:
"Teacher, I am in my third year of high school! May I ask about my dormitory..."
"Oh, are you in Yuan Jianshe's class again?" the male teacher interrupted, and immediately made a note in his notebook, "Let me tell you, don't all seven of you seniors submit to me?"
"Uh..." Su Li hesitated.
I know the situation is not good, this is deducting class points!
