Every nook and cranny of Ning County buzzes with talk of earning foreign exchange, a topic as explosive as the first firecracker of the New Year, and it’s not only popular in Ning County but also a hot topic in the Provincial City.
In the past, ntioning Ning County conjured images of poverty, backwardness, and disdain, but now things have changed. Before we knew it, Ning County has risen.
This developnt excited Li Chuan. Previously, when he attended etings in the Provincial City, he was often teased by people from other counties, and so even refused to sit with him. Now things are different. As soon as he entered the eting room, everyone was either feigning humility or warming up to him. He calmly smiled in response, while secretly screaming with joy inside.
After so many years, Ning County has finally turned things around!!!
When Lu Zhenping was returning to the provincial public security bureau, he paused to listen to people discussing foreign exchange. As soon as he heard that familiar na again, he chuckled to himself.
"Captain, what’s up?"
"Nothing much, just heard everyone discussing the foreign exchange thing and felt happy."
Wei Dong laughed and said, "Hey, this matter has sparked a heated discussion throughout the entire Provincial City. They say that a woman comrade from Ning County, along with their secretary, t with foreign businessn. Initially, the foreigners kept pressuring them, but she bravely stood up, argued with the foreigners based on reason, and it took a whole afternoon to finalize the order. A lot happened in between. This comrade was very smart, clever, quick-witted, and eloquent. Foreign businessn are very cunning, having deep sches. Soone who can handle foreign businessn must be truly outstanding."
"It’s not as good as you think. She can be quite temperantal and annoying at tis, and sotis she gives people terrible headaches."
Huh???
"Captain, I think you shouldn’t be like this. She secured so many orders, do you know how much credit she has brought to the entire Provincial City and to Ning County? You talk as if you know her very well."
Wei Dong’s eyebrows furrowed tightly; it was the first ti he had seen his captain being so shaless. That woman comrade is a hero, and the captain spoke so familiarly as if she was his own wife.
This was really disrespectful to the woman comrade and extrely disrespectful to the elder sister-in-law.
This mission, fortunately, there was chili powder prepared by his elder sister-in-law. When facing the enemy, he threw a handful of dirt first, and when that didn’t work, he threw the chili powder. Boy, the chili powder really did the trick; he didn’t have to do much, and that bastard was rolling around on the ground.
"Wei Dong, sotis I want to crack your head open to see what’s inside. What’s the na of the female hero in the newspaper?"
"Shen, Shen ng!"
"Oh, what’s my wife’s na?"
Wei Dong thought for a mont, his eyes widening as Lu Zhenping thought he had realized sothing when suddenly Wei Dong slapped him on the shoulder.
"Captain, why are you like this? I never noticed you were so vain before. Even though she has the sa na as the elder sister-in-law, you can’t say she is your wife. I think you’re being very disrespectful to the elder sister-in-law. Captain, I’m going to leave first. I need to cool down. You’ve completely changed in my eyes."
After speaking, Wei Dong left with a cold face, leaving Lu Zhenping disheveled in the wind, unable to stop Wei Dong, that fool!!!
Shen ng beca famous, incredibly famous, even Zhou Jiaojiao who was washing clothes at Lu Family Village had heard about it. She had initially thought that the talk of creating foreign exchange was rely a baseless rumor or a negotiation led by county officials, rely attributed to Shen ng to deceive the villagers.
But unexpectedly, this morning the village chief posted a newspaper at the entrance of the Head Flower Factory, which not only featured a photo of Shen ng but also an article by a reporter from the Provincial City.
The children ran one by one to the main house of the Lu Family; Ming Kai, that naughty kid, was actually standing at the door handing out candies, claiming they were celebration sweets—what a petty kid trying to win people’s hearts, all learned from his parents.
She lowered her head to look at her belly, extrely anxious, no longer feeling the previous excitent, thrill, and happiness of being pregnant.
"Child, oh child, make your mother proud, grow up well, be born soon. Mother has talents nowhere to showcase. If you don’t co out soon, there will be no place for our family in this village, in this county. Child, your father and mother are ambitious people; our family shouldn’t live like this."
It seed like the child in her belly could understand her words, moving vigorously, and in Zhou Jiaojiao’s eyes, that was an agreent; her child truly had extraordinary talents and could empathize with their parents’ hearts.
When Wu Xianglan got off work in the evening, she pocketed a dozen newspapers. Previously, if anyone had suggested she spend money on newspapers, she could have lashed out, but today was different. Holding the newspapers, she talked to everyone she t about her elder sister-in-law; her relationship with her sister-in-law was as strong as iron!
The village entrance was bustling, with many people gathered where Uncle Guai normally parked his ox cart. When everyone saw Uncle Guai driving his ox cart over, they happily waved their hands.
"He’s coming, he’s coming, Shen ng is back, hey, everyone should give a round of applause later to welco our great hero."
"We knew about this from before, but who would have thought it would make the newspapers? Look at how handso Shen ng looks in this photograph!"
"Hey mother, look how capable your daughter-in-law is. Your son Zhenping will now be sitting back and enjoying his life—famous, profitable, and rich—who wouldn’t be envious of you old folks!"
"Elder sister-in-law Sanjin has a good reputation in the village over the years; it’s only fitting she has a daughter-in-law like Xiao ng."
"If I had such a daughter-in-law, I’d treasure her in my palms."
.....
Liu Sanjin also stood in the crowd with a beaming smile, accepting everyone’s complints. At this mont, she felt like she had returned to the days before Shen ng was toppled by the ox, when she was a leading presence in Lu Family Village. Finally, she could enjoy that atmosphere again—that’s the life Liu Sanjin deserved!
"Ah, Xiao ng is very capable, going out early and returning late every day. You all only care about how high she flies, but I worry about how tired she gets from flying. Forget fa, status, and money, I just want her to have a good life, a stable life at ho."
"Old sister-in-law, you really are a good mother-in-law, we should all learn from you!"
"If I had this realization, would my daughter-in-law also be so capable!"
When Shen ng was helped down from the ox cart by Wu Xianglan, she waved to the crowd. At that mont, she felt like an honored old lady receiving everyone’s worship!
