Chapter 71 Sons Should Be Raised Frugally
Qi Guomin said, "We should definitely thank Director Tian. If it weren't for his decisive action and foresight in making arrangements in advance, our child would definitely have been abducted."
But Director Tian is right. If you hadn't repeatedly reminded him that you had noticed human trafficking activities, he wouldn't have increased the number of people patrolling secretly.
That way, they wouldn't have discovered my child had been abducted.
Deng Xiuzhen understood; Tian Guoqiang was giving her credit while also providing a reasonable explanation for her unusual behavior.
She didn't explain further, but instead told Qi Guomin and the others not to be polite, saying that anyone who found out would have pointed it out. For example, Teacher Zhao had reminded her yesterday.
Before leaving, Qi Guomin sincerely said: "From now on, Yanlin will be my brother, and you will be my sister-in-law. Just say the word if you need anything."
Fang Mei repeatedly said "Mmm".
Deng Xiuzhen smiled and spoke politely, but her mind wandered: "Brother" didn't seem like a good word. Her brother had betrayed her, and Qin Yanlin's brother had betrayed his brother.
A few days later, Tian Guoqiang informed him that the case had been solved.
It was done by a worker named Wang Sheng from the steel rolling mill. Wang Sheng is from Henan and works in Pucheng. He rents a house that no one lives in.
The victim's name was Li Li. Wang Sheng and Li Li met on a train when a group of thugs were robbing people from one carriage to another.
Wang Sheng was quite strong and had worked as a laborer in a steel rolling mill for a long time. He was not only very strong, but he was also wearing a high-quality replica of a military uniform that day.
The robbers bypassed him, and Li Li, who was sitting next to him, was spared from being robbed.
The two got to know each other, and then began corresponding, gradually establishing a relationship.
Unemployed, Li Li went to Pucheng and moved in with Wang Sheng. Whether it was simply bad luck or something else, less than a month into their relationship, the steel mill declared bankruptcy, and Wang Sheng, who had always had a stable job and a decent income, lost his job.
Although Wang Sheng's salary was decent in those years, as a young person, he didn't have the habit of saving money and spent as much as he could. Especially after meeting Li Li, he frequently sent money to her, leaving him with no savings.
With their jobs gone, the couple lost their source of income, which led to conflict.
Li Li berated Wang Sheng for being useless and unable to earn money; Wang Sheng retorted that Li Li was lazy and dependent on men for a living, and their argument escalated into a fight.
Wang Sheng, who had long dealt with steel, was strong and, in a moment of weakness, beat Li Li to death.
In a panic, Wang Sheng bought a suitcase on the street, put Li Li's body inside, and threw it into a garbage dump some distance from the national highway. Then he ran back to Henan.
Logically speaking, this matter should not have been discovered. First, people often dumped dead cats, sick chickens, and unwanted clothes from the dead in that area, so the stench was normal and no one would notice. Second, he came to work, and since the steel mill had gone bankrupt, his return to Henan wouldn't attract attention. Third, Li Li had only been there a short time, and he had never taken her to the factory, so no one knew of her existence. Fourth, he lived in a separate room and rarely interacted with the people around him.
But things just happened to be so coincidental. A daring and quiet girl happened to run there to collect firewood and braved the stench to remove the branches covering the box, revealing the truth to the world.
When Tian Guoqiang arrived, Wenjing saw him and somehow guessed that he was going to talk about the case, so she asked to listen.
Considering that the child had already been met and the case had been solved, I figured it wouldn't hurt to listen, so I agreed.
As it turned out, Wenxin and Wenyu wanted to listen too, so they listened together.
"I will never be a good-for-nothing who relies on others to support me again!" Qin Wenjing said after Tian Guoqiang left.
“I don’t know either, I have to rely on myself,” Wenxin agreed.
"I want to support my family like Dad does. Mom, sister, I'll take care of you!" Wen Yu said loudly.
"No need to shout so loudly, the key is to keep your word," Deng Xiuzhen said with a smile, patting Wen Yu's head.
"Don't worry, I will do it. I will study hard and find a job that pays well in the future. I will earn lots and lots of money for you to use, so that you can spend it all and never run out!"
"Wenyu, then we'll wait for you to raise us," Wenjing said with a smile.
……
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. For the past three years, Deng Xiuzhen has been running that stationery store.
Because her family has three top students, parents who are interested in building relationships become regular customers, and these people never haggle. Many other parents also come specifically to buy all the necessary supplies, and they don't care about the price either. Therefore, Deng Xiuzhen's business is consistently booming, and her profits are considerable.
Apart from spending over 10,000 yuan to buy another piece of land, the rest of the money earned was invested in Qin Yanlin's construction company.
Qin Yanlin's construction company has grown to a considerable size, and business is getting better every day, with the company developing steadily.
Qin Wenjing skipped a grade in junior high and is now in her second year of high school. Not only are her grades excellent, but she has also grown into a beautiful and charming young woman. However, she has a rather aloof personality.
Wenxin is growing tall; at only fourteen, she's already 1.67 meters tall. She has a gentle and sweet personality, and her grades are top-notch. Xiao's goal for university is the same as Wenjing's—to attend Jinghua University.
Ever since Wen Yu said he would support his family when he grew up, his two older sisters have often reminded him that they are waiting for him to support them.
Qin Yanlin and Deng Xiuzhen had witnessed their spoiled eldest son become a waste of his talents, so they firmly believed that their son should be raised frugally, that he should be responsible, and that he should be capable.
So, ten-year-old Qin Wenyu could cook, do laundry, and do all the housework.
You also have to study hard. If your grades are lower than the top three, your older sisters will grumble: "You can't rely on me, you can't rely on me!"
He can only try harder.
"bang"
"Ouch!"
The family was having dinner when they heard something fall to the ground next door, and someone cry out in pain.
Deng Xiuzhen stood up abruptly, looked in the direction the sound came from, and then sat down again.
"Mom, aren't we going to go see her?" Wenjing asked.
"I won't go. Nobody can interfere in their family affairs." Deng Xiuzhen would never go if there was a fight at Yao Huaying's house.
Firstly, this family, from the eldest to the youngest, is full of troublemakers.
Secondly, Yao Huaying had really offended her badly, so she let bygones be bygones the time Yao Huaying said something stupid that tarnished her reputation.
Later, seeing that Deng Xiuzhen's business was doing well, she couldn't help but get envious and opened a stationery store as well. When business was bad, she spread rumors everywhere that Deng Xiuzhen's products were of poor quality and that she was selling counterfeit goods.
But Deng Xiuzhen's customers don't come for the goods at all, not to mention that the quality of Deng Xiuzhen's goods is top-notch.
Even if she were to sell counterfeit goods, her business would still be good.
The people who came weren't really there for the wine; they wanted the top student to share his study methods. The top student's mother also shared her parenting knowledge.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't try to stop the fight, and neither did anyone else.
Last time, when Boss Tao went to mediate the fight, he was punched in the chest and had to stay in the hospital for half a month.
The couple reconciled, completely ignoring Mr. Tao's injuries.
