Her face was very poor, her hair was messy, her clothes were dirty, she had a swollen belly, she seemed to be pregnant, and she walked very slowly.
Xue Ling was slightly stunned and couldn't help but think of what Ahu said before.
Ahu said that Ouyang Mei's brother Ouyang Xiang defrauded a sum of money in Rongcheng, then ran away with the money and later disappeared.
The person who was defrauded of money approached Ouyang Mei and asked her to help his brother pay back the money.
Ouyang Mei was pregnant with her child and was about to give birth. After being pulled around, she accidentally fell to the ground. The child was broken and she was stillborn, and she almost died.
Her husband Kun Ge got entangled with a group of people and sought revenge on each other.
The two groups of people fought, causing a big fuss, and were later arrested by police comrades.
Brother Kun was later imprisoned for several months and fined.
After being released from prison, Brother Kun disliked Ouyang Mei for being unlucky and divorced her.
After Ouyang Mei divorced him, she quickly married another man and lived in the old city.
In this era, it is difficult for a second-married woman to marry, not to mention that she has a brother who is a fugitive. The other party is an old man in his forties. Because his family is poor, he has never found a wife, so he is willing to marry her.
This is what Ahu said last fall.
I remembered that during the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, she had dressed up beautifully, with makeup, new shoes and a new skirt. However, in just over a year, her former love rival had fallen into this world!
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to have seen it too. He stopped the car and rolled down the window.
Ouyang Mei noticed her gaze, looked up, hurriedly avoided her eyes, and walked away as if running away.
Xue Ling hesitated to speak, wanting to call her out, but seeing her hasty steps running away, he had no choice but to shut up.
Since she didn't dare to see her old friend, it would be difficult to call her.
Cheng Tianyuan frowned slightly and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, get in the car!"
Xue Ling got in the car and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Yuan, did you see it? The person just now seemed to be Ouyang Mei."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan said softly, "It's her. She doesn't want to say hello to you, just forget it and ignore her."
He didn't have a good impression of Ouyang Xiang's family, especially Ouyang Xiang.
Xue Ling sighed and whispered: "She doesn't seem to be doing well."
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Whether a person lives well or not is determined by his own temperament and temperament. She is lazy and does not seek to make progress. She relies on her brother blindly. After her brother is gone and her husband is unreliable, she turns around and marries another man for support.
.How can such a person live well?"
Xue Ling was slightly stunned and slowly shook his head.
Yes! If she is a capable woman, she will never let her destiny always be in the hands of others.
If she works hard and makes money with her own hands, then why should she turn around and marry another man for support?
In addition to the external cause of her brother, she has fallen to this point because of her own reasons.
Cheng Tianyuan added: "Even old people in their 60s and 70s have to look for opportunities to work somewhere to earn a little money. She is young, why doesn't she work with her hands? The girl Yuan Aihua brought by Chen Lan this year looks also
She is only 22 or 23 years old, and she said she dropped out of school to work when she was eight years old to help make money to support the family."
"Eight years old?!" Xue Ling was a little surprised.
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and explained while circling the steering wheel.
"She said that her family was poor since she was a child, and she had many brothers and sisters. She was the eldest sister and the eldest in the family. In addition to helping to raise her younger siblings, she also had to do handicrafts to make money. When she was eight years old, she went to work as a packer in a textile factory.
She earned money and went home to buy rice and groceries. Once her father was ill and didn't go to work, so the family relied on her salary to survive. She was only twelve years old at that time."
Speaking of this, Cheng Tianyuan said: "A twelve-year-old girl knows how to work hard to make money to support her family, but some people are in their twenties, but they are too lazy to move and always want to rely on others - this is how people can ultimately
The key to not living a good life."
Xue Ling nodded in agreement.
"You're right, you have to rely on yourself in the end, and you can't have the mentality of a rice bug."
…
Ah Hu had one more intravenous drip the next day, and then everything was fine.
He did not leave the hospital and stayed to take care of his mother.
Chen Min returned to the development zone to help open a store, while Chen Lan stayed to help take care of her aunt.
Five days later, Ahu’s mother was finally discharged from the hospital.
Seeing that the weather was cold and cold, Xue Ling was afraid that the elderly would freeze, so he drove over to help borrow them.
Ahu thanked him and helped the old man get into the car.
"Sister-in-law, how is the business in the store these days? If Alan stays here, it won't be too busy there, right?"
Xue Ling replied: "No, two factories have already started construction in the development zone, and other factories are also preparing to start construction. Workers are coming back one after another. Factory workers are highly mobile, and many new workers have come to settle down. Business is good
Fortunately, I have Miss Aihua to help me. I heard from Amin that she can do any job by herself, so she won’t be too busy.”
"That's good!" Ahu chuckled and said, "I'll send my mother back first, and then I'll go over and help."
Xue Ling took out a large envelope from his pocket and handed it to him, explaining: "This is the studio's commission for the first two months. It's yours."
Ah Hu answered, embarrassed and whispered: "I don't do much work, but I still get 10% commission... I'm really embarrassed."
Xue Ling turned the steering wheel and said: "It was agreed that you would be 10%, I would be 50%, and Liu Xing would be 40%. When it comes to work, I don't even have to go anywhere, let alone any work at all.
No. I asked you to go over and help. Firstly, there will be one more person who understands the business there, and secondly, it will supplement your income."
She originally accounted for 60%, but she really couldn't take care of helping there at the same time.
Fortunately, he was there to help me and made a few trips occasionally so that I could understand the business there.
After hearing this, Ah Hu finally accepted it with confidence.
"...Thank you sister-in-law!"
This time he and his mother were hospitalized and spent a lot of money. The family was already impoverished before, so cousin Chen Lan helped pay for the hospitalization.
He opened the envelope and found that there were hundreds of dollars inside!
"Sister-in-law, why are there so many?"
He took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Chen Lan beside him.
Chen Lan pushed and saw that he insisted, so she had to accept it.
Xue Ling explained: "The income of the Lunar Photography Studio during the Chinese New Year is good, more than double the usual amount. Liu Xing came to see me the day before yesterday and showed me the accounts. After I collected the money, I gave you 10% of it.
"
Liu Xing was a little dissatisfied with Ahu at first, explaining that he was always busy in and out and didn't do much to help. Moreover, he hadn't seen much of him since the Chinese New Year, and it was quiet when he went to his house.
Xue Ling explained to him that he was deceived into marriage, defrauded people and defrauded money, and now he and his mother are lying in the hospital.
Liu Xing was startled, and his dissatisfaction quickly turned into pity. He expressed concern and asked questions.
Xue Ling didn't say much to him. He only said that Ah Hu was a colleague after all. We suddenly encountered such a big thing and hoped that we could understand each other and be more considerate and caring.
Liu Xing nodded repeatedly.
Xue Ling asked him about Wang Qing's situation, and he hesitated and explained that Wang Qing's mother always found trouble with him from time to time, and he did not dare to accompany her back to her parents' home.
Seeing that he seemed to be in trouble again, Xue Ling didn't want to say too much. He just advised him to be more open-minded about everything. After all, they are a family and should be more considerate.
Liu Xing then went back to work in the agency.
Xue Ling has been taking care of her children at home these days and planning her next money-making plan. Apart from translating dozens of jokes to Xiao Jiaxue, she has been idle the rest of the time.
She turned her face away and said to Ahu: "Madam is in good health, we have to work and make money!"
"Hey!" Ahu said with a smile, "We'll start work tomorrow!"
