Chen Lan and the others are still working in the photo studio. Tong Zi is responsible for taking photos and washing photos, while Chen Lan and her mother-in-law are taking care of the children while watching the photo studio.
Xue Ling explained: "I have raised all their wages, once every two years. However, I am very busy now and can't care so far, so I plan to transfer all the business to Tong Zi when I go back this time.
No, then I'll withdraw."
Lao Liu nodded to express his understanding.
"You have so much business and it's so big, so there's no need to pay for it anymore."
"Small money is also money." Xue Ling smiled: "It's just that it's too far away and cannot take into account both business. It's better to do it for a real expert. I plan to say to Tongzi and his wife in two days to make them mentally prepared."
Lao Liu couldn't help asking: "Then all the houses you have in 'Wangjiangyuan' are for rent now, right?"
"Yes." Xue Ling explained: "It was mainly a secretary named Xiao Chen and my husband's good brother Chen Min who helped me collect rent and handle some miscellaneous property matters."
Lao Liu smiled softly: "Xiao Xue, someone else saves money to buy a house, but you have so many houses for rent, which is good enough."
Xue Ling also smiled and asked back: "Old Liu, do you remember when I went to work in the newspaper office? At that time, the probation period was 180 yuan. I went out early and returned late every day to make money. At first, I couldn't afford to buy a bicycle.
.”
"Remember." Lao Liu recalled: "At that time, everyone was very hard. In the blink of an eye, over the past decade, there have been great changes in recent years! Not only are the big cities changing, but even our small towns changing. In recent years,
Everyone's life is getting better and better. Now almost every household can afford meat."
Xue Ling asked with a hilarious question: "So, have you become fat too?"
Old Liu laughed, maybe because he thought of his daughter, his smile gradually closed.
"In the past few years, the girl has sent a lot of money to her home, and it has to be more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. I didn't spend her. My pension has increased several times, and every time it is one or two hundred, and now I have a good life.
It's very good. I also told her that she should think more about herself and not always worry about her family. She doesn't get married for a day, so her mother and I will worry about it for a day. Who knows now...ah!"
Xue Ling sighed and whispered: "Old Liu, don't worry about staying there and Xiao Liu staying there these days. You have to persuade her to confess your guilt and you can get rid of some punishment. She is still so young, and her life has just bloomed, so you can't just go there.
So withered."
Lao Liu focused on the key points.
"I will find a way to persuade her."
Xiao Liu put down the chopsticks, said fat and fat, "I will persuade her every day."
He Miaomiao's eyes turned gently and she whispered: "If she is willing to give or cooperate actively, I am happy to take on this case."
"Thank you!" Old Liu smiled and said, "You eat more. I will have to trouble you these two days."
He Miaomiao nodded.
After eating, Xue Ling took He Miaomiao downstairs and the driver picked her up and took her back.
Afterwards, she arranged for Lao Liu and Xiao Liu to stay and then take the elevator upstairs and go home.
It was cold and several children went to bed early.
Dad Xue and Xue Zhilan were playing chess, while Mother Xue and Liu Ying were knitting sweaters in the house, chatting quietly.
Cheng Tianyuan boiled water in the kitchen.
Xue Ling was a little tired, so she greeted them and went back to the opposite side.
Cheng Tianyuan twisted the kettle and went back.
"Wife, do you want to take a shower? The water heater has been washed by the children. I'll cook two pots of hot water for you."
Xue Ling shook her head: "I feel a little cold..."
When Cheng Tianyuan heard that she had a nasal sound, he immediately guessed that she might have caught a cold due to cold.
"I'll cook ginger water for you."
Xue Ling snuggled in his arms lazily and whispered: "I just had enough to eat, but I couldn't drink ginger water."
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled: "The ginger water has to be simmered for more than half an hour." He pushed her away, turned around and went to the kitchen to wash ginger and boil ginger.
He turned around and came back and found Xue Ling slumped on the sofa, as if in a daze.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Xincheng may have been overly injured. Somehow, he refused to say anything when asked. The police said she did not cooperate with anything. Lawyer He asked her quietly, but she didn't answer. He only talked to Lao Liu.
He greeted her brother and said he would not bother her, and then she cried and stopped talking. I looked like she looked... discouraged, even begging for death."
Cheng Tianyuan was surprised and raised his eyebrows: "Don't she knows that the crime she committed is serious?"
"Lawyer He told her and analyzed it carefully." Xue Ling shook her head: "How could she not know! I guess she might have suffered something, so she just gave up."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help asking: "What should I do?"
"I don't know either." Xue Ling whispered: "Let Lao Liu and the others persuade him every day. Lawyer He will take them over and make a handover. Lawyer He is very famous in the judicial circle of the imperial capital. Please give her no mistakes.
”
Cheng Tianyuan stepped forward and patted her back lightly.
"Forget it, this is the path she chose after all, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty or sad."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "I can't feel guilty, but I can still feel sad. After all, she is still so young and has many opportunities. She is not married yet and has not given birth to children. Her life has just begun."
Cheng Tianyuan stood up and pulled her up too.
"Go and wash your face and soak your feet, drink ginger water for a while, and take a rest soon."
Xue Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled: "In such weather, lying on the quilt is the best. By the way, the children are all wrapped in large quilts, right? Don't turn on the heating too big, as it's too hot, you have to kick the quilt."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Yangyang ran to sleep with his brother. Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong will sleep together, which will make it much warmer."
"Haha!" Xue Ling couldn't help laughing, "Fortunately, she gave birth to enough people and could squeeze into a bunch like a nest of pigs."
Cheng Tianyuan was amused by her and joked: "Are you calling yourself a sow?"
Xue Ling pinched the soft flesh around his waist.
He couldn't help laughing, and turned around to pour hot water for her.
Xue Ling looked at his busy back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
It feels good to have someone to be with you, especially the one you love, your emotions can always be quickly changed. When you are happy, someone shares it, someone relieves it when you are unhappy, and when you are sad, someone hugs you and crys.
As we grow older, we have less enthusiasm and passion, and we have more tacit understanding and strong family affection for getting along day and night.
Maybe in another ten or twenty years, only family affection will remain.
But such companionship is indispensable.
For example, father and mother, and father-in-law, they both have to be with each other, otherwise they will be alone and have a boring life!
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something!
Cheng Tianyuan shouted in the bathroom: "Wife, the hot water is ready, come and wash your face!"
"Wait!" Xue Ling responded perfunctorily, waiting for the other end of the phone to be connected.
Soon, Lawyer He answered.
Xue Ling apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'll bother you so late."
"It's not too late." Lawyer He explained: "I just got home for a while. Mr. Xue, do you have anything to explain?"
Xue Ling lowered her voice: "Lawyer He, I guess--it's my personal guess. Will Liu Xincheng break up with her boyfriend, so she is so disheartened--it's the one involved in the gang.
Leader Gao Yang.”
Lawyer He thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xue Ling whispered: "Xiao Liu is very confident and arrogant. She has made so much money at a young age, so she must be proud of her youth. She is so disheartened, which is mostly caused by feelings. You might as well check the news about this man and then stimulate it a little.
Let's see how she reacts. Maybe this can be a breakthrough."
