Chapter 87 Being kicked out of the house
Although she thought so in her heart, in reality, Lu Xingchen, a living person, suddenly disappeared before her eyes. In the dead of night, in the corner of the room, Su Qing felt that she had lost something.
Emptiness, loneliness, solitude...
All the negative words flooded into her mind. She had only experienced these feelings deeply in her previous life, but at this moment, they deeply hurt her originally soft heart.
"What's wrong with you, girl? It's dark, and you're still living in someone else's house? Get out!" Lu Wannian, who had regained his memory, had always been resistant to Su Qing. Every time she returned home, he would drive her out even if Lu Xingchen was present.
Su Qing knew that he must have been instigated by Ye Lingshuang.
She had been busy before and had no time to pay attention to it.
Lu Xingchen left in a hurry and only told Su Qing briefly, asking him to take care of his father Lu Wannian.
But today Lu Xingchen didn't come home yet. Lu Wannian had been waiting under the grape trees in the yard for his son to return. After waiting for a long time, he became irritated.
So he started to vent his anger on Su Qing. At first he just grumbled a few words, but later he took direct action and chased Su Qing out of the house with a broom.
"Dad, listen to me, I'm Su Qing, I'm Xingchen's wife, your daughter-in-law. If you kick me out, who will take care of you?" Su Qing was a little caught off guard by Lu Wannian's sudden move to raise her.
"My daughter-in-law is Ye Lingshuang, who are you kidding? Get out!" Lu Wannian was originally anxious, but now he was even more excited.
Su Qing thought that his memory strength had just recovered and was afraid that it would stimulate him and affect his further recovery, so she did not continue to bother with him.
But at the moment, she had just finished taking a shower and was wearing pajamas. Lu Wannian was standing across the door with a broom. It seemed that she would not be able to go into her room to rest tonight.
"What! The old man didn't let you go back to your room to sleep and mistook Ye Lingshuang for his daughter-in-law?" Su Qing had no choice but to find Lin Yueran to stay for one night. After learning about the situation, Lin Yueran was also very surprised and puzzled.
Su Qing nodded helplessly. She had a marriage certificate in her room. If she showed the certificate to the old man, the misunderstanding would probably be resolved.
However, Su Qing saw that the other party was quite emotional, so she did not bother with him. She thought that she would find a chance to go back and talk to him clearly during the day tomorrow after he calmed down.
"By the way, Lu Xingchen has something for you. He gave it to your elder brother Lu Yu and asked Yuetong to pass it to you." After saying that, Lin Yueran took out a packaging box from the inner room.
When Su Qing heard that it was a gift from Lu Xingchen, she couldn't wait to open the box.
It was a brand new pocket watch, exactly the same as the one he had before.
There was also a letter attached to the outside of the box.
The general content of what Lu Xingchen wrote in the letter explained why he left suddenly, and at the end he also listed the address of his former unit.
If she wasn't wearing pajamas, Su Qing would have really had the urge to set off immediately and take a bus to Yangshi to find him.
"Are you crazy? Are you going now? It's the middle of the night. If you want to go, you should wait until daytime. There are no cars now!" Seeing Su Qing about to leave, Lin Yueran grabbed her.
"Didn't he say that he would be back after a while? I think the most important thing for you now is to explain things clearly to the old man, otherwise who will take care of him when you are gone!" Under the strong impact of emotions, Su Qing's head was hot. Her momentary impulse only proved how much she cared about Lu Xingchen.
During this period, Su Qing was busy reviewing for the college entrance examination and rebuilding the base. If it were not for Chen Ruifeng's meticulous care, Su Qing would not know what to do with the old man at home.
During this period, Ye Lingshuang went home every day and gradually became familiar with Lu Wannian.
The reconstruction of the base was already a headache. Currently, almost all the production equipment has been burned down. Whether it is the production workshop or the warehouse, the rough processing and the finished products have all been completely unrecognizable and turned into a piece of charcoal.
Fortunately, the cultivation of mulberry trees was not affected.
However, the original production equipment and parts on the assembly line need to be purchased and installed again, and the factory workshops also need to be renovated or rebuilt. The current capital turnover is not working and the company is stretched to the limit.
And tonight, the family encountered such a troublesome thing again, and the thought of Lu Xingchen gradually came to my mind.
The reason for his departure in Lu Xingchen's letter was very vague and unconvincing, but no matter what he thought in his heart, she had already left. This was an established fact. He felt helpless, but that was all.
Otherwise, what else can we do?
When Su Qing woke up the next day, she arrived at the base early in the morning, but heard countless rumors and discussions.
"Lu Xingchen absconded with a huge sum of money. He took away all the money that the base had worked so hard to earn."
"Su Qing embezzled the collective property for her own benefit. When her superiors found problems, she ordered others to set it on fire to destroy the evidence!"
"If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it. She has a conscience that has been eaten by dogs by doing this!"
……
Along the way, Su Qing heard people whispering behind her and pointing fingers at her, and the public opinion was very unfavorable to her.
It is now 1977. Ten years of hard times have passed. Next year the airport will host three meetings.
By then, the spring breeze of reform and opening up will blow across the land of China.
The words "household land contract responsibility system" will become popular all over the world in the coming year.
As someone who had experienced this, Su Qing simply tried out these policies in Xiangyang Commune in advance.
This moment is just the darkness before dawn, and all kinds of noise, discussions and criticisms are inevitable.
The dregs of the feudal system that has existed for thousands of years will soon be overthrown.
It was just the painful period before the reform, and Su Qing didn't expect it to be so severe.
Only by burning your boats and risking your life can you win a great comeback.
Previously, the production line of the silk manufacturing base had outdated equipment, which caused serious wastewater and odor pollution to the surrounding land, rivers and air.
Taking advantage of the fire, Su Qing made up her mind to go to Yangshi to purchase a batch of advanced production equipment for the reconstruction of the base. She would upgrade the previously backward equipment and lay the foundation for the future production and manufacturing to move towards a broader and smoother road.
Su Qing learned about this plan from her previous correspondence with Lu Xingchen's sister Li Yuemei.
Li Yuemei's husband Wenhu ran a bookstore in Yangshi. At that time, he sent Su Qing a magazine about silk production.
It was through the magazine that Su Qing learned about the advanced production technology and equipment in this area abroad. She also found the address of a store that sold this equipment in the magazine.
It just so happened that she had always wanted to find an opportunity to visit Lu Xingchen at his former workplace in Yangcheng. Now that she had this excuse, she planned to go to the provincial capital Yangcheng tomorrow.
