Five years ago, Qiao Yicheng was still in college. His teacher found him a job teaching English. The student was a girl named Wen Juan.
What should I say about this girl? She comes from a scholarly family and a materially superior living environment, but she has a very rebellious personality and is full of disdain and hostility towards her mother's various arrangements. She was also very repulsive towards Qiao Yicheng at first, but later she Driven by curiosity, the two gradually developed a good impression, and then there was a tacit understanding and an unspecified emotion.
It can be said that she is Qiao Yicheng's first love.
Later, Qiao Yicheng learned that the antagonism between her and her mother was all because of her father, He Jiangsheng.
Wen Ju'an's mother, Wen Xue, was an educated youth who went to the countryside. In order to make her life easier, she married He Jiangsheng, the son of the village director. Later, Wen Xue returned to the city and prepared to divorce her husband from the countryside. He Jiangsheng refused and even chased her to Nanjing. Cheng Cheng, carefully serving mother and daughter, but in return he was looked down upon and disliked. Not to mention that he was not allowed to enter the house. Even the clothes she bought for Wen Ju'an and the local specialties she brought from her hometown. Wenxue did not let her daughter wear or eat.
In the words of some people on the Internet, this is called two people having different views. Divorce is right, Wenxue is not wrong, and she is an independent woman in the new era, because she was admitted to university with her own efforts after returning to the city. What about He Jiangsheng? He is just a farmer, so he is not worthy of Wen Xue.
Yes, yes, in the past, in order to live a better life, she married the son of the village director. Now times have changed. The heroine in the story returned to the city and became a master, pushing the conflict of family breakdown to the third level. If you don't close up, it's an anachronism to say anything, and you'll leave the blame to those things that can't resist.
Damn it, a man has become a successful man, don’t tell me that his wife is a scumbag, a beast who always gives up, but when it comes to a woman, she doesn’t give in, she has pursuits, she is independent and brave?
Haha~
Because she couldn't stand Wen Xue's attitude towards He Jiangsheng, Wen Ju'an had always been against her mother. In other words, her rebellious period was very long.
In the TV series, after Qiao Yicheng fell in love with Wen Ju'an, he accompanied her to find He Jiangsheng. At that time, he did not live in Youfang Lane, but on Changle Road, where the environment was better. Wen Ju'an did not explain his relationship with He Jiangsheng. At that time, Qiao Yicheng had beaten him because of a misunderstanding.
"Ju'an..."
Upon hearing the words "Wen Ju'an", the drunk man on the bed opened his eyes and looked at him with some doubts, as if he was trying to recall the name "Qiao Yicheng".
Lin Yue said: "Let me pour you a glass of water to wake up."
He walked to the corner where the bucket was and looked inside. He found that there was a layer of oil floating on it, which was a little dirty. He picked up the kettle on the coal stove. The fire in the stove core had long been extinguished. He went to get the gas stove again. I pushed the gas tank next to me. It was empty.
Well, in this state, I don’t know how He Jiangsheng survived.
When it comes to things like falling out of love, it turns out that women feel relieved after venting their emotions, while it takes a lot longer for men to get out of a relationship.
"You wait, I'll go next door to ask for a bowl of tea." Lin Yue picked up a relatively clean bowl, opened the door and walked out.
Not long after, he returned to the house. The bowl in his hand was still empty, but in the other hand there was a teapot with the pattern of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.
He Jiangsheng had already sat up from the bed and looked at him blankly.
"Drink some hot water." He poured half a bowl of water and handed it over.
He Jiangsheng raised his hand to take it, held it for a moment and then put it to his mouth and took two sips. His face became more rosy and looked a little more human.
"Ju'an asked you to come see me? Is she okay?"
"Ju'an didn't ask me to come. I haven't seen her for several years."
When Wen Xue and Wen Ju'an left Nanjing and moved to Beijing, most of the reason was to avoid He Jiangsheng, and the other half was to avoid Qiao Yicheng. The job transfer was just an excuse.
He Jiangsheng raised his head and glanced at Lin Yue, seeming to read something from his face, and smiled bitterly.
"Pitiful."
I don't know if he is talking about himself, Lin Yue, or both.
Possibly due to the poisoning reaction in his body due to daily drinking, He Jiangsheng's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly, and his beard, which had not been shaved for a long time, also trembled. The shiny part on it was the remaining tea.
Lin Yue said: "I can help you make a fortune."
"What?"
"I can help you get rich."
Rather than saying that he didn't hear clearly, He Jiangsheng said he couldn't understand what he said: "Help me get rich? How?"
Lin Yue said: "I will provide the start-up capital, and I will help you with the purchase and sales channels."
He Jiangsheng stopped talking. It wasn't because he was excited, but because he didn't believe Lin Yue's words at all. If there really was a shortcut to getting rich quickly, how could he give it up to him? He doesn't understand the general principles, but he can more or less grasp the human heart.
Lin Yue understood his thoughts and smiled slightly: "What? You can't trust me? It doesn't matter if you can't trust me, because now you want to turn around, you can only choose to trust me. Your wife doesn't want you, and your daughter is gone. With your poverty, If things don't go as planned, what else do you have to lose? Try to believe that I at least have a glimmer of hope."
That's true. Given his current state, if he had to choose an adjective, it would be "living", or even worse it would be "living".
"Why are you helping me? Is it because we share the same problem? Or are you pitying me?"
"All of them." Lin Yue said: "Wen Xue looks down on you and me, because you are a rural person who cannot give her a decent life, and for Ju An, I am someone who has several younger brothers and sisters to take care of. Poor student, and I gave you the opportunity to be proud in front of her just to get back at her."
He didn't hide his intention, and told the man in front of him exactly what he had planned for Ju'an's birthday, and Wen Xue had never let him attend it.
"Since she thinks you are poor, wouldn't you be able to retaliate against her as long as you get rich? Why did you give me this opportunity?"
"To tell you the truth, money means nothing to me. If I want to make money, there are so many ways you can't imagine. And if she thinks I'm poor, I'll show her how rich I am. This kind of revenge is too low-level in my opinion. "Lin Yue squinted his eyes and said, "If I want to take revenge on her, I will definitely choose to use Ju An."
He Jiangsheng suddenly became furious, rushed up and grabbed Lin Yue's collar: "What do you want to do to my daughter?"
Lin Yue held his wrist and tightened it slightly. A trace of pain flashed across He Jiangsheng's face, and his clenched fingers loosened one after another.
"She is my first love. What do you think I will do? If you cooperate with me, you still have hope of getting your daughter back from Wen Xue. If you don't cooperate with me, you will spend the rest of your life in this dark shack. You're a stinky wild dog. Men, it's nothing if you don't have money, and you can save yourself if you lose your fighting spirit, but if you value women above everything else, you lose the meaning of survival."
This sentence struck a chord in He Jiangsheng's heart.
Because he was poor, he had no dignity in front of Wen Xue, because he was poor, he was not even qualified to see his daughter, and because he was poor, he couldn't even chase those two people.
If you ask him if he is resentful or not?
He must be resentful, because when he was young, as the son of the village director, he was also a quite tempered person, but now...he is not even qualified to resent Wen Xue.
"Okay, I promise you."
Lin Yue didn't say much. He took out a brown paper bag containing 10,000 yuan from his briefcase and threw it casually on the single bed.
"There is a letter in it with the contact number. When you find the person in Shenzhen, tell him that I asked you to go. He knows what to do."
He Jiangsheng touched the bundles of RMB in the brown paper bag with mixed emotions.
Lin Yue did not stay any longer, turned around and left the shack, lit a cigarette with him, and walked towards Qian Street along the way he came.
Ten thousand yuan is a huge amount of money for He Jiangsheng, but he is not worried about the other party taking the money and running away, because ten thousand yuan is not a big sum for Wen Xue, and if he wants to make it affordable to her, it is still far away. Not nearly enough.
His generosity and indifference will also build up He Jiangsheng's confidence... Today it is ten thousand, and in the future it will be one hundred thousand or one million.
Thirty years later, if an uneducated farmer is allowed to do business, the probability of losing money is more than 90%. However, this is the early 1990s. As long as you have the capital and motivation to avoid being robbed or deceived, money will not matter. "It's all over the floor, just pick it up" is a bit exaggerated, but it's really very profitable.
During this period, a night stall in a larger city could earn dozens or a hundred yuan a day. What was the salary of an ordinary working-class person? Four or five hundred. Let’s talk about the shortage of goods such as video recorders. Later, the price dropped to a few thousand yuan in Shenzhen, and it was still very popular in Chengdu for more than 10,000 yuan. The asymmetry of information, the imperfect logistics network, the lack of solidification of classes, and the lack of social resources being divided up by some people. It can be said overnight. There are many opportunities to get rich suddenly.
