Although Luo Yuzhu's words were unpleasant, she didn't show any decisiveness. She was more angry and disappointed.
Luo Yuzhu considered himself not a merciful person, but faced with his biological father who could ruthlessly sell her, he still could not be ruthless, so Luo's father repeatedly took advantage of her and took away a lot of money from her.
But now it is different from before. She is married, and now she is pregnant and is about to have her own child. Therefore, her feelings for her biological father have inevitably declined a lot. She does not want to destroy herself because of this cruel father.
A new home that was finally built.
"Yuzhu, daughter, I am your father, you can't ignore me, you can't just watch me being beaten to death." Father Luo was still begging, making all kinds of pitiful pleas.
He knew his daughter well. Even though Luo Yuzhu said she was cruel, she was actually very cruel to strangers, but she was definitely not so cruel to her own relatives.
After asking Luo Yuzhu for money so many times, he had already figured out his daughter's thoughts very clearly, so every time he encountered trouble, he would come to Luo Yuzhu because he was sure that Luo Yuzhu would not ignore him.
Luo Yuzhu's teeth were itching with hatred and she wanted to tell him to go away, but she couldn't say the words.
She walked into the room and came out after a while, throwing a stack of paper notes on the table.
"Here are two thousand, which is all my net worth..."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo's father rushed over and wanted to take all the money into his arms, but Luo Yuzhu held the money down with his hands.
"Yuzhu..."
"You can't just take this money if you want. I still have conditions."
Father Luo's eyes were red and he asked eagerly: "No matter what the conditions are, Dad will promise you."
Of course Luo Yuzhu would not believe what he said. She knew how unreliable this father was.
"You can take this money today. Since you gave birth to me and raised me for more than ten years, I will not ignore you in the future, but you can only come to me once a year. I will do it once
I’ll give you one thousand yuan, but other than that, you are not allowed to come to me again.”
Luo's father wondered: "How can this be done? What if I miss you?"
Luo Yuzhu was not moved at all and said coldly: "You won't believe this yourself. This is my condition. If you agree, you will take the money. If you don't agree, then you will lose every penny."
Can’t get it.”
Father Luo rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "Once a year is too little, Yuzhu, how about twice a year. On your birthday, I come to see you, what do you think?"
"not so good."
Luo Yuzhu remained expressionless: "My birthday will be celebrated for me. You don't need to come. It's only once a year. There is no need to discuss it at the end of the year."
Father Luo sighed with a sad look on his face: "Yuzhu, I am your biological father. I am really sad that you are treating me like this."
Luo Yuzhu ignored him and let him sigh there, but continued to press the money and stared at him coldly.
Seeing that Luo Yuzhu didn't respond at all, Luo's father knew the result and sighed quietly.
"Okay, I promise you, I will come to you once a year. Can you give me the money now?"
As he said that, he reached out to get the money, but Luo Yuzhu still held on.
"To be honest, you have too many criminal records and I don't really believe in your guarantee, so I'll make it clear to you in advance that if you violate it, I will never give you another penny in the future."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you." Father Luo agreed, eager to get the money.
Luo Yuzhu then let go of her hand, and in the next second, Father Luo snatched the two thousand yuan away, counting the bills with a smile on her face.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yuzhu felt even colder. Her father really only had money in his eyes. If it wasn't for money, he probably wouldn't come to her.
"Yuzhu, my son-in-law will be back soon, I'll leave first."
Father Luo put the money into his pocket, then told Luo Yuzhu and prepared to leave.
Luo Yuzhu waved her hands impatiently: "Go quickly, go quickly."
Father Luo was not annoyed and left with a smile. However, before he reached the door, he suddenly turned back.
He took out a few bills from his pocket, thought about it for a while, and finally took out a large unity bill and handed it to Luo Yuzhu.
"Yuzhu, when you give birth, I will definitely not be able to come. This money is a red envelope for my unborn grandson. You can keep it."
It was originally a happy thing for grandpa to give red envelopes to his grandson, but Luo Yuzhu looked at the great unity in front of her and couldn't be happy at all.
Luo's father used the money she gave him as a red envelope for his grandson. What's even more disgusting is that she gave two thousand, but Luo's father finally gave him ten yuan in red envelopes?
Sensing his daughter's unkind gaze, Luo's father didn't dare to say anything, so he left Da Tuan behind and ran away.
As soon as Zhou Chen got home, he found that his wife's expression was not right.
"Yuzhu, your face doesn't look good. Are you feeling unwell?"
He thought that Luo Yuzhu's body had a bad reaction because of her pregnancy. It was normal for women to have all kinds of strange reactions during pregnancy.
Luo Yuzhu didn't want to tell Zhou Chen the truth, so she said, "Well, I felt very sick and uncomfortable this afternoon, but I'm feeling better now. Let's eat."
Zhou Chen was not suspicious and took the initiative to help in the kitchen and cooked with Luo Yuzhu.
The Spring Festival of 1985 passed in the blink of an eye. Shortly after the Spring Festival, Zhou Chen and Luo Yuzhu’s first child was born, a boy.
Zhou Chen had no idea whether his first child would be a boy or a girl. As long as it was his own child, he would be happy.
Giving birth to a boy means that half of the side mission of having children is completed. As long as a daughter is born, the mission can be completed.
The son's name was chosen by Zhou Chen and is called Zhou Tao. The name is more casual but also quite easy to pronounce.
Luo Yuzhu stayed in the hospital for a few days, then was discharged and returned home to recuperate.
The house they rented before had been bought by Zhou Chen from the original owner and renovated it again. This time Zhou Chen was responsible for the decoration, so it was decorated more luxuriously and it was more comfortable to live in than before.
a lot of.
"This kid is so good-looking, brother, I think he looks just like you."
At Zhou Chen's house, Qiaogu held Zhou Tao and looked around, and finally said to Zhou Chen.
Chen Erli and Qiao Gu were leaning against each other, looking at the baby carefully, with eyes filled with fondness.
She and Chen Jinshui have been married for so many years, but they only have one daughter, Qiao Gu. In fact, it's not that they don't have the conditions to raise another daughter, but it's because of health reasons that they can't conceive.
She did not give birth to a boy, so she was very happy when she saw Zhou Chen's son.
In the end, Chen Jinshui also hugged Zhou Tao. He, who was always serious, held the child with a smile on his face and teased him happily.
"Qiaogu is right. This child looks like you. When he grows up, he will definitely be a good child with great potential."
Luo Yuzhu in the room curled her lips when she heard Chen Jinshui's laughter. She said this as if the child would be useless when he grew up if he looked like her.
In the evening, Chen Jinshui's family of three stayed together and had dinner together at Zhou Chen's place.
Because Luo Yuzhu had just given birth, Zhou Chen paid a special fee to hire a nanny to help clean up the house and help Luo Yuzhu take care of the child.
Luo Yuzhu didn't want it at first, because the price Zhou Chen negotiated was really high, and she felt it would be better to take care of the children and do housework by herself.
Women in this era are not as delicate as they were in the past. Many women start working just a few days after giving birth, and some even work in the fields.
However, Zhou Chen did not let Luo Yuzhu do it on this point and directly brought the person back without giving Luo Yuzhu any room to object.
"Xiao Chen, I have visited your small commodity trading city several times. You have done a really good job there. The flow of people there is very large now. Not only people from the surrounding cities and counties come here, but also many people from the surrounding provinces come here to purchase goods.
,Not bad."
Speaking of the Trade City, Chen Jinshui obviously became energetic. Because the Trade City is not far from Chenjia Town, he would go there to take a look when he had time.
Zhou Chen said: "I can only say that it's okay. There are still many stalls that have not been rented out. Moreover, the market for small commodities is very large across the country, but it has not yet been developed. In the next few years, it should get better and better."
Chen Jinshui nodded: "Your vision is indeed much better than that of an old man like me. I heard Qiaogu tell others that you are doing very well. Do you have shares in the Trade City and the houses being built around it?"
Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "Uncle, who did you hear this from?"
"I also listened to other people's casual remarks. Tell me, is it true?"
Zhou Chen thought for a while and replied: "Uncle, I don't want to hide it from you. I do have a share in this, but you must not tell others about this. I don't want to get into trouble."
Chen Jinshui showed a satisfied smile. His nephew was really successful, which made him very happy.
"Don't worry, I'm very strict with my words, so do it well."
After drinking for three rounds, Chen Jinshui asked again: "Has that guy Ji Feo contacted you recently? Since he left last year, he has never come back once and only wrote two letters. This brat, wait for him to come back."
, I will definitely whip him."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Jiang He has called me a few times. He is still outside, but he probably won't be back in the short term."
"This brat."
Chen Jinshui was very dissatisfied. He felt that Chen Jianghe was filial, but he was unwilling to agree to marry Qiaogu, so he did not come back.
"One more thing. Zhou Yong came to see me again and said he wanted to see your son, but he didn't dare to come alone, so he asked me to come and find out what you wanted."
One year has passed, and the life of Zhou Yong's family has become more and more difficult, mainly because Zhou Yong has not found a stable job and has been fooling around, and Zhao Chunhua has to go out to do part-time work, but neither of them are hard-working people.
, barely earning a living wage, and life became increasingly difficult.
They have always wanted to find Zhou Chen to ease the relationship and hug Zhou Chen's lap, but they were strongly rejected by Zhou Chen every time, and they were also taught a lesson by Zhou Chen several times. After many times, they did not dare to come alone.
Find Zhou Chen.
…………
Chen Jianghe came back in 1986. After he came back, he immediately approached Zhou Chen.
"Second brother, first of all, I want to say sorry. I was not in Yiwu when your son was born. This is a gift I brought back to my eldest nephew."
Zhou Chen took the gift from Chen Jianghe and said with a smile: "Thank you for remembering it. How have you been outside these two years?"
Chen Jianghe said with emotion: "Compared to the previous years, many changes have taken place across the country in the past two years, especially in some coastal cities. They have developed even more rapidly. It feels like the whole country is developing rapidly."
"You are right. Our country has been lagging behind for too long and will rise. What about you, do you have any ideas when you come back this time?"
"I just walked around the Trade City. It's really good. Even Pengcheng doesn't have a small commodity market of this scale. Second brother, you still have the vision. Our Yiwu is definitely leading the country in small commodity sales and wholesale.
"
"The development of our small commodity market here does not depend on me, but on the local traders. Without them, no matter how well the trade city is built, it will not be able to develop to its current scale."
The reason why Zhou Chen invested in the Yiwu Small Commodity Market was because he knew the future direction. The Yiwu Small Commodity Market could eventually develop thanks to local Zhejiang businessmen. Without them, the Yiwu Small Commodity Market would never have developed.
"Have you made up your mind now? Are you going to come back and rent a storefront and start wholesale, or are you going to continue to look outside and wait for the opportunity?"
Chen Jianghe looked embarrassed: "To be honest, I have been floating outside for many years. Sometimes I want to go home and start my own career, but sometimes I feel that my abilities are not enough and I still want to continue studying.
So I still can't make up my mind, second brother, can you give me an idea?"
"You ask for my opinion?"
"Well, you are smarter and more capable than me. I want to hear your opinion."
"If you really want to hear it, then I can talk to you, but in the end you still have to make your own decision."
"Second brother, you speak and I listen."
Zhou Chen cleared his throat and said: "What you decide depends on what your goals are. If you just want to be rich and content, then I think you can build a larger wholesale market in the Trade City. With your intelligence,
, means and connections, you can definitely make money; but to put it bluntly, making money is no problem, but if you want to develop too much, it is not that easy, because you can easily be fooled by only doing wholesale and getting goods from others.
A person's lifeline is pinched, and if there is a slight mistake in the middle, problems may arise."
"If you want to develop well and make more money, you must have production and sales in hand. To put it simply, you can't just take goods from others. You must have your own factory so that you will not be
Others hold the lifeblood; the other thing is to have your own characteristics and brand. Only when others know and recognize your brand can you have the opportunity to develop and grow."
“Production and branding?”
After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Chen Jianghe fell into deep thought. He had never thought of these two points before. Being reminded by Zhou Chen made him feel like he suddenly realized something.
"Second brother, are there any more?"
"I just said something in general terms, and it's more detailed than I can explain in a few words. So, let's have dinner together tonight, and I'll talk to you in detail."
Chen Jianghe said happily: "That's great. By the way, I'll call Brother Qiu. I haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that Brother Qiu also seems to have a daughter?"
Zhou Chen said: "Well, Yingjie's daughter was just born, and he was joking with me before, saying that he wanted to make an appointment with me."
Qiu Yingjie's daughter was born. Just like in the TV plot, she was named Qiu Yan. She is a very cute little girl.
