Clearly a relative of the leader, how did they become a questioning crowd?
This kind of scam is not the first of its kind, it was very common in the 90s, and even in 2019, some people still fell for it.
Wen Hongyan, sick and desperately seeking help, was spotted by her scammer neighbour, who specifically set a trap for the Shu family’s situation.
Wen Hongyan didn’t know the ways of selling second-hand bags, so her kind neighbour took her to do it.
When helping her sell gold jewellery, the neighbour even haggled with the gold shop boss on her behalf, making her gold ornaments sell for more.
What a good, enthusiastic neighbour!
The result was a scammer.
From head to toe, they arranged Wen Hongyan perfectly, as soon as the bags and gold were sold, before the money even warmed, Wen Hongyan handed it all to the scammer.
Wen Hongyan collapsed on the spot.
Shu Lu was at a loss, the money was all swindled?
The Public Security Bureau opened a case for the mother and daughter, as for whether Wen Hongyan’s swindled money could be recovered, it could only be left to fate.
The scammer rented a house to live in, perhaps even their name was fake, nowadays fake IDs are rampant, spend a bit at Jiuyan Bridge, and not only can you get a fake ID, but also domestic top university diplomas, all kinds of skill certificates are available.
This money is probably not coming back.
The scammer succeeded by exploiting Wen Hongyan’s sick and desperate mindset, the police even educated Wen Hongyan a bit.
Telling her to follow rules and regulations in the future, if Wen Hongyan didn’t think of bribing to pull strings, the scammer wouldn’t have taken advantage.
“You had money to give to a scammer, couldn’t you properly hire a lawyer?”
The police officer’s voice echoed in Shu Lu’s ears, Shu Lu often wiped tears to act pitiful, never once had she cried as sincerely as now.
She hadn’t watched few legal dramas!
Why didn’t she think of hiring a lawyer?
Why did she just lose her senses?
Wen Hongyan was swindled of money, Shu Lu wasn’t a Rongcheng household, wanting to transfer to other schools in Rongcheng all required borrowing fees, the difference was just how much money.
The problem was no money.
At least no big money.
Wen Hongyan still had some savings, usually deducted from Shu Guobing, at this point she absolutely refused to take them out. Shu Lu hadn’t gone to school for a week, if she didn’t return to campus soon, Shu Lu would probably become a dropout girl, despite all reluctance, the only road left for Shu Lu and Wen Hongyan dignidad
Cai Youlun still wanted to warn Shu Lu to be more obedient.
Never expected, in a few days’ time Wen Hongyan would ruin the mother and daughter’s fallback.
Rich people losing tens of thousands don’t care, for Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu, tens of thousands of yuan was enough for Shu Lu to finish high school in Rongcheng.
At the very least, the mother and daughter could go back to their hometown to buy an old house, just giving it to the scammer to spend, whether Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu felt heartache, Cai Youlun didn’t know, Cai Youlun was quite heartbroken, because the money in Wen Hongyan’s hands was given by Shu Guobing, and Shu Guobing’s money was given by Cai Youlun!
A local boss like Cai Youlun was somewhat superstitious, originally looked down on Shu Lu, after this incident he increasingly felt the Shu family was very unlucky, the kind that whoever touched them got bad luck.
Perhaps Little Cai got unlucky this way.
After all, usually Little Cai and the Shu family went in and out together, spent the most time together!
Cai Youlun thought this way, the lost money was treated as sending away a plague god, he would sooner or later earn it back from Zhao Dong.
Wen Dongrong actually had always been paying attention to Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu’s movements, until the mother and daughter left Rongcheng to return to their hometown, Wen Dongrong finally put his heart at ease.
For the sake of sibling ties, Wen Dongrong didn’t drive the mother and daughter to the wall, but more things he wouldn’t do. Even if Wen Hongyan went to sell misery in front of Grandma Wen, Wen Dongrong wouldn’t give a single penny for this sister again.
No matter what method Wen Hongyan used, even if it was manual labour carrying goods, as long as she was willing to endure hardship, supporting Shu Lu’s education was always no problem.
Those many rural poor families, as long as they had a bit of ambition, as long as their hands and feet could still move, none let their family’s children drop out, taking ten thousand steps back, even if Shu Lu really would drop out, that had nothing to do with Wen Dongrong.
Chen Ru heard Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu returned to their hometown, after work getting home she couldn’t help wanting to hum a song.
Wen Ying also let out a breath.
Being picked up and dropped off by Chen Ru every day, was a burden of love, Wen Ying still liked acting on her own, time was freer.
Shu Guobing and Little Cai, the two thugs who entered the house, had already been transferred by the police station to the detention centre, how to sentence would be how to sentence, temporarily no one would threaten Wen Ying’s safety.
Friday night, taking advantage of Wen Dongrong being there, Chen Ru opened a family meeting, made a financial plan for the family.
If Wen Dongrong’s wages no longer randomly subsidised relatives, her performance saved up, at the latest by the end of 2007, the family could buy a car!
During this period, the money the two earned, also had to renovate houses.
One set decorated better, after decorating the whole family moved in, the rent here would be saved.
Another set decorated simply, after decorating rented out, offset a portion of the housing loan.
In the future when Wen Ying was to get married, then take back the rented house to redecorate, Wen Ying finished undergraduate, then studied a master’s or something, getting married was at least a matter of twenty-five or twenty-six years old, from now there was still about ten years’ time.
Using rent to support the housing loan for about ten years, one house’s housing loan was almost paid off.
It seemed these ten years didn’t generate profit, the house paid off the loan was personally owned, Chen Ru didn’t believe, housing prices could not rise a bit in ten years!
“Wen Ying’s grandma always wanted us to drive her back to the countryside, right? By then our family bought a car, she wanted to sit, you also didn’t have to fear bad influence, people talking idle words!”
Old people liked showing off their children, Grandma Wen’s wish was sitting in a small car gloriously returning to the countryside, finding former rural neighbours to show off.
Or say, as important as sitting in a small car returning to the countryside, was having children with free time and filial piety bringing the elderly back. Middle-aged people with elderly above and young below, tired from running for life, to the family elderly usually was stuffing money for filial piety, able to truly put down things at hand to accompany a whole day was too few, giving money’s filial piety wasn’t wrong, if still willing to accompany the elderly to do some seemingly meaningless things, the elderly’s inner satisfaction was hard to describe in words.
Chen Ru wasn’t without understanding, just mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had friction, before too lazy to remind Wen Dongrong.
Now willing to remind Wen Dongrong, one was because Wen Dongrong in this incident performed well, didn’t again soften towards the Shu family, two was wanting to give Wen Dongrong an incentive goal, let him in the next two years not again take money to subsidise relatives, the couple together for decorating houses and buying a car and strive!
Wen Ying weakly raised her hand: “If buying a car, actually I also can contribute some effort”
“You shut up, adults talking isn’t your turn to interrupt, you think your wings are hard, earned a bit of money, the family is up to you to decide?”
Chen Ru interrupted Wen Ying’s words.
If used Wen Ying’s earned money, as parents where was the威严!
Just not wanting to be left behind by Wen Ying, Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong would improve themselves, middle-aged people going to tutoring classes’ hardships Wen Ying simply couldn’t understand.
“Your mum said right, these matters you don’t care, quickly return to your room to write your homework.”
Wen Dongrong on this issue stood on the same side as Chen Ru.
To save money, he could tighten his belt not spend money, could not wear new clothes not smoke, absolutely couldn’t lose dignity throw away face!
The couple drove Wen Ying from the family meeting, Wen Ying returned to her room, still could hear the living room’s parents’ discussion voices.
These two were just dead set on face living to suffer.
However, without this spirit, they weren’t the parents Wen Ying was familiar with, stubbornness and face sometimes were shortcomings, sometimes were strengths.
Who said middle-aged people couldn’t strive upward, as long as willing to strive, 40 years old striving was always better than 50 years old striving, really waiting until 60 years old to regret not striving enough in youth what use, half a foot already stepped into the coffin.
Wen Ying first finished homework, again opened the computer.
Love Grid editor let her try writing a long piece, Wen Ying now already had a story outline, she wanted to write a piece about “youth idol” novel, the story started from a talent show, but wasn’t with Li Mengjiao as the prototype, true youth idols, weren’t only limited to the entertainment circle.
Like the firefighting hero Yang Xi from the previous life, counted as a youth idol?
Definitely counted!
Liking to help others, establishing a study group’s Song Shao, similarly was a youth idol.
Colourful youth stories, happened around Wen Ying, returning to youth period, she had inexhaustible material.
She wanted to write young people’s stories, without melodramatic multi-angle love, without early love abortion, without moaning without illness, wasn’t that youth?
Established the story outline, inspiration burst in Wen Ying’s mind, fingers danced on the keyboard, tapping out lines of text.
Silent night, without any disturbance, was the working time writers most liked.
At the same time, Xie Qian’s family was also having a family conversation.
Zou Weijun today after work returned home particularly happy.
“My proposal was recognised by the higher-ups!”
Receiving affirmation at work, Zou Weijun burst out more work enthusiasm, not forgetting the well-digger, Zou Weijun still wanted to thank Wen Ying for providing inspiration:
“Wen Ying tomorrow coming to our house? I personally cook two dishes to treat her to eat.”
Xie Qian shook his head, “Tomorrow won’t do, she has things.”
Wen Ying tomorrow was going to block Yang Xi, still going to meet Yuan Fenghui, schedule arranged quite full, really no time to come to the Xie family.
Zou Weijun was a bit disappointed.
“She’s so busy, then you?”
“I also have things.”
Wen Ying was Shrimp King’s big shareholder, Xie Qian was also a shareholder.
The big shareholder tomorrow was going to visit for protecting ‘Shrimp King’ shop property injured Manager Yang, Xie Qian this second shareholder how could be unmoved?
Of course he was going with Wen Ying.
As for other shareholders, already by Xie Qian subconsciously ignored.
Zou Weijun heard Xie Qian was going out with Wen Ying, didn’t think much, the two’s interactions didn’t hide from Zou Weijun, always were open and frank, Xie Qian in Rongcheng could have a good friend like Wen Ying, Zou Weijun was happy too late, how would she interfere with the two’s friendship.
Hearing Xie Qian talk about Yang Xi’s matter, Zou Weijun’s heart wasn’t comfortable.
“Family conditions so bad, should help her, sounds like a grateful person, Wen Ying’s eye for people isn’t bad!”
Yang Xi’s family indeed was conditions not good, but in this world people more miserable than Yang Xi were everywhere.
Zou Weijun suffered for love, never suffered for material conditions, young wrote poems all were romantic, were refined.
Xie Qian’s heart moved, “If you have time, want to go with us? Tomorrow is me and Wen Ying’s first time seeing Yang’s family, compared to me and Wen Ying, they might more trust an adult like you.”
Zou Weijun had some work on hand, but doing it on the weekend was also in time.
Son invited, Zou Weijun how would refuse, mother and son now both accommodated each other, both thought they were healing the other’s psychological illness!
