Chapter 1043: Chapter 1044: The Lonely Village Girl 88
When Zhang Yu got off work and arrived ho, Feng Lan had already left with her luggage.
“So fast?” Zhang Yu was really surprised. Getting a divorce in this era wasn’t easy; the leaders would try to dissuade you repeatedly.
How could they decide to divorce just yesterday, and today have the divorce certificate in hand? Zhang Yu felt that the speed was a bit too fast.
“Yeah, really fast.” Li Cui was also bewildered, “But getting divorced is good, otherwise Feng Lan would always be scheming against you.”
“Letting her leave here earlier is also a good thing.” Li Cui glanced at the Liu Family across the street.
“Back then, the Liu Family had many people, 11 in total, most of them n.”
“Now only four people are left.” Li Cui was sowhat unaccustod to it.
In the past, during alti, the Liu Family’s house was lively with voices and clamor.
Even arguing over a bite of food could last quite a while, but now the Liu Family’s lights are on, yet it’s so quiet you could think no one is inside.
“Soon they will have more people. Zhou Xia is supposed to co back, right?” Zhang Yu thought Zhou Xia probably only got sentenced for half a year.
“Wait until she cos back, it will be lively again.” Li Cui rembered Zhou Xia was supposedly coming back; if not, Wang Pandi wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.
“By the way, is Xiao Qiao not coming back to eat with you today either?” The old lady only now noticed that Xiao Qiao hadn’t co back with Zhang Yu.
The old lady imdiately found it strange; was there another assignnt today?
“Yes, there is sothing.” Zhang Yu didn’t know exactly what Xiao Qiao was busy with, but it seed to be related to the committee.
“I heard the case is quite big.” How big the case actually was, Zhang Yu wasn’t sure.
A case related to the committee? Hearing this, Li Cui’s face darkened, “Better not mingle with those people.”
Our family is upright and has nothing to fear, but when those people go crazy, it’s no ordinary madness.
Li Cui had seen the things those people did, so the old lady insisted on staying away if possible.
“Definitely won’t be mingling with them much.” How could Zhang Yu choose soone close to the committee? “We’re just ordinary citizens who want to live a peaceful life.”
Zhang Yu didn’t know much, just that it seed to be so internal struggle within the committee, “A group of people coming together for a bit of profit…”
“Now the tide is slowly turning. So people don’t know what’s good for them and still think they can take things as before, probably hindering so other people.”
Zhang Yu wasn’t clear about the situation either, “Anyway, it seems like a bigwig ran into trouble.”
What exactly the trouble was, Zhang Yu didn’t know yet, but the problem was quite serious.
“Why, is soone urging him to fix the radio?” Recently, Xiao Qiao’s reputation had grown; quite a few people ca to him to fix things.
“Others still want Xiao Qiao to help them assemble radios, right?” Li Cui knew what so people were thinking.
“Isn’t Old Hao furious?” Zhang Yu knew that had definitely taken away business from the Son-in-law of the Hao Family, no wonder she saw him with a bad expression these days.
Li Cui snorted coldly, “He’s furious? He never thinks about how many disgusting things his son-in-law has done.”
Li Cui looked around before whispering in Zhang Yu’s ear, “I heard from your Aunt Zhou today that Old Hao is selling second-hand radios outside.”
“The market is big; he can sell more than thirty radios a month.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yu’s mind was blown, “More than thirty?”
Not to ntion how he could know so many people to sell so many radios.
“Where could he get so many resources?” It should be known that their police station colleagues, rallying many people, could only gather about a dozen broken radios.
After piecing them together and swapping parts, Xiao Qiao managed to make six, which already was quite efficient use.
Yet the Son-in-law of the Hao Family had even better ans, “Even remodifying the received broken radios wouldn’t produce such a quantity.”
Zhang Yu recalled Li Cui ntioning that the Son-in-law of the Hao Family worked at a radio factory, dealing with radios. Could it be?
Zhang Yu suddenly thought of a possibility, “Grandma, do you think the Son-in-law of the Hao Family might be stealing sothing from the workplace?”
“Like radio components.” Xiao Qiao, an amateur who picked it up halfway, could cobble together a good radio just by reading books and looking at products.
Then for soone like the Son-in-law of the Hao Family, working in a radio factory, wouldn’t it be even easier to do this?
“Probably not.” Li Cui hesitated, “After all, that’s different from deceiving radios out of people.”
“This is undermining the factory, and if it gets out, there will definitely be severe consequences.”
“Might even end up in jail.” Li Cui believed anyone with a working brain wouldn’t make such a mistake.
“True.” Zhang Yu thought about it and agreed. In this era, education on these matters was so diligent, no one would make such a foolish mistake.
Perhaps sneaking one or two components was possible, but taking more than that seed impossible.
“The Son-in-law of the Hao Family has a sweet tongue, and by looking at radios, he really could find a lot of issues, so people trust him.”
“Otherwise, why would they take his word that if he says the radio is bad, it’s bad.”
“But no one expected him to end up as this kind of person.” Li Cui sighed.
“Back then, when he got together with Old Hao’s daughter, the Hao couple disagreed, and it wasn’t easy for them to end up together.”
Zhang Yu didn’t dwell on it in her heart. After all, destroying one’s future for such a small amount of money was sothing only a fool would do.
Zhang Yu continued going to work and coming ho daily, quietly working on brushing up on her studies during occasional night shifts. Xiao Qiao, knowing she had night shifts, would also try to work those nights together.
Just like that, day after day passed until the day of the final exam.
When Zhang Yu got up in the morning, she found that the old lady had actually gone and bought a fried dough stick and had prepared two eggs.
“Grandma, is this your ‘100-point al’?” Zhang Yu rembered jokingly saying during a al that if she could have a perfect score al on exam day, she would certainly score well.
She still rembered Li Cui had asked back then what a perfect score al was. Zhang Yu had explained, but didn’t think much of it at the ti, believing that it might not even be available these days.
Unexpectedly, the old lady actually got her so fried dough sticks. “Grandma, where did you buy the dough sticks?”
“I know soone, their family can make fried dough sticks. I ntioned it a couple of days ago, and I picked them up today.”
“Eat up, aim for a good score.” Li Cui knew what today’s exam ant for Zhang Yu, “After today, you’ll be able to get your high school diploma.”
“If your dad were here, he would definitely be happy.” The old lady wiped away a tear with satisfaction.
“Grandma, don’t worry, we will definitely be alright.”
