Chapter 770: Spend so Much Money to Marry an Ancestor?
"What do you mean?"
Lin Jingyu sighed.
"About three years ago, he suddenly came to my house, hesitant."
"Before that, I heard that his wife was seriously ill and hospitalized. Teachers are mostly very noble. He is the kind of person who immerses himself in physics, so he is even more shameless. So after hearing about it, I asked the principal to send him a sum of money in the name of school subsidies."
"When he came to my house, I thought he didn't have enough money, and I was thinking of calling the bank president to send me some money. It turned out that he didn't borrow money, but came to ask me to find a way, saying that there is a special medicine abroad."
Su Chen nodded.
"How can I have any connections with foreign pharmaceutical companies? I can only promise to ask for him and tell him when I have news."
"When I found out about the special medicine, I went to school to find him and found out that his wife had passed away."
"When I went to pay my respects, he was completely exhausted. He didn't go to school for two consecutive months. I heard that he was drinking all the time. The principal sent many teachers to do ideological work for him, but it was useless. I don't know what happened to him later."
Lin Jingyu raised his eyebrows at Su Chen: "What happened to him?"
"I thought about it carefully. Simply finding his body is not enough to make you make this special trip."
Su Chen shook his head: "He's not dead."
"Not dead? Isn't that quite... wrong? His case is very involved?"
"It's related to the previous matter of Yang Xingyun and Xu Junde."
Lin Jingyu frowned.
"How could it be? These two people had nothing to do with Wen Hong before."
"Wait," he quickly reacted, "Brother, do you mean that the previous tampering with Xu Junde's body has something to do with him? But he is just a researcher..."
Lin Jingyu suddenly sighed.
"The end of science is metaphysics, right?"
"His wife died, so he plans to study metaphysics to revive or see his wife?"
"So what kind of connections did he make?"
Su Chen shook his head.
"It's hard to say."
Lin Jingyu asked: "Do you need me to find someone to investigate him?"
"No, I'll ask someone to do it."
"He may be very dangerous now."
Lin Jingyu nodded and said regretfully: "A good talent has gone astray."
His regret only lasted for a moment, and he soon became excited again.
"Brother, do you think the big cell phone is too heavy?"
Su Chen nodded: "So?"
"Hehe, I've been in contact with many technology and communication companies recently, and I know the inside story."
"Soon, a communicator this small will be on the market. It's very light, only about 100 grams. I'll get you one later?"
Su Chen: "..."
"You can't use it in the mainland, right?"
"The supporting network hasn't been built yet."
Lin Jingyu was surprised: "Brother, tell me honestly, have you been secretly studying recently? You know all this?"
"But don't worry, I've inquired, and some companies have started to build it. Next year, or the year after next at the latest, it should be available in big cities."
"Then buy it then."
Lin Jingyu looked at him carefully.
"Brother, I find that you are not very interested in these technology products. The same was true for computers before."
Su Chen: "..."
He told the truth: "The current ones are really not fun."
Lin Jingyu gave a thumbs up in admiration.
"Okay, I'm going back."
"Go back," Lin Jingyu looked at his watch, "It's time for me to pick someone up too."
It's rare to go home early one day.
Su Chen was directly drafted by Liu Chunhua to fold paper ingots.
"Mom, isn't it enough for July and the others to fold together?"
"Is it too much for the ingots burned for the ancestors? Don't be lazy, one you fold is more useful than ten of us."
Su Chen: "..."
He had no choice but to fold for more than an hour.
Yueyue and Acai saw him folding too, and hurried over to follow suit.
In the end, it was only when Ayun woke up and cried that Su Chen was freed.
Dinner hasn't started yet, A Biao called.
"What's the matter, brother? Let's drink, everyone is here, just waiting for you."
"Just drink, do you have any dishes? I'll help you order."
"Do you need to tell me? I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables a long time ago. Now there is a table of dishes, waiting for people, are you coming?"
Su Chen couldn't refuse, and was afraid that these people would pester him to drink, so he took Yueyue with him.
As soon as he entered the backyard, the house was full of people.
Old Xu, Old An... and Aunt Li.
Su Chen called out to them one by one.
He looked at Aunt Li carefully again: "Aunt, your business has been good recently, right?"
Aunt Li laughed so hard: "It's just for the sake of getting by, not much."
Old Liao exposed it directly.
"At least a few hundred a month, and you said it's not much, it's much more than those who work in offices."
"You still have to go home to cook and wash clothes. If you put it up all day like Old Zhang, you can buy a new house next year."
His tone was sour.
Aunt Li heard it, but she just smiled and didn't refute him.
There were footsteps outside, and Old Liao turned around and saw that it was Chai Daqian leading his son over, and he blew his beard and glared again.
"Hey, Lao Chai, why did you come here at night today?"
"Aren't you going to dance?"
Chai Daqian looked at him carefully: "What's the matter? Are you taking medicine?"
Aunt Li curled her lips: "Ignore him, he's crazy about making money."
"Who doesn't want to make money? I dream of getting rich," Chai Daqian put his arm around Lao Liao's shoulders, but he pushed him away, and then put his arm around him again, "Is your son causing trouble for you again?"
Lao Liao was not happy: "I worked hard to earn money for two days, and now I have to pay him back for playing cards."
It seems that someone has chased him to Chunming Street to collect debts in person.
Everyone looked at each other, and tacitly pulled Lao Liao to sit down, picking meat for him and pouring wine for him.
One comforted: "It's okay, it's just the money earned in two days, and the money will be back in two days."
Another comforted: "Children are all debts, we don't tell others about our family's shame, but in fact, life is not easy, who can worry about it?"
Lao Liao pointed at Lao An: "Aren't you worried now? Huanhuan can make money by setting up a stall, and Xixi is making more now."
Lao An cried: "I just started to make money, where can I get the money? I heard that getting married now not only requires a gift, but also a new house. I am worried. Houses are so expensive, how can we afford it?"
When he said this, everyone was confused.
"When did this rule come about? How come I don't know about it?"
"That's right. Ah Biao and Ah Kui didn't ask for a new house when they got married before."
"Who can afford a new house? It should be some people. They are asking for too much!"
Su Chen couldn't help but listen to a few more words because Ah Liang was getting married. He nodded subconsciously.
Lao An sighed: "A Xi came back and told us a few days ago that his friend had a girlfriend. The girl asked for a gift of 10,000 yuan and a new house."
"Let him split it. There are many girls in Cuicheng. Is she inlaid with gold or jade? Why are you rushing to spend so much money to marry a ancestor?" Lao Liao was annoyed.
Old An sighed: "Miss Keren is pregnant."
Everyone: "..."
Old Liao immediately changed his tone: "Well, it still can't be divided, let them talk it out, for the sake of the child, they should be more tolerant..."
An Jianhuan brought the last dish over and sighed: "The woman is very tough and won't give in. Ah Xi even wanted to save up for a few months and lend it to him."
Old Liao hurriedly asked: "Ah Xi didn't lend it? If the woman is like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the money back if I lend it out."
As he was talking, a familiar voice came from outside.
"Uncle Biao, Uncle Biao, are you home?"
Old An came back to his senses: "Ah Xi?"
