Goodbye, Dam Village! _1
It was clear that Yao Wie was a good officer who helped the people.
Off to the side, though, Old LadyShufen was becoming nervous, watching Yao Wie and Mingyue speak with such ease.
What on earth was happening?
Why would the city's party secretary come to their home?
And to happen upon this very event!
This clearly wasn't a mistake!
Could it be that Mingyue and the city party secretary had planned this all along?
Otherwise, this couldn't possibly be such an accident!
Yes!
Mingyue must have plotted with them in advance!
But how did Mingyue know the city party secretary?
Old LadyShufen raised her head to look at Mingyue.
Under the dim light, Mingyue stood there, with a soft glow on her beautiful face, and when she spoke, two small dimples showed at the corners of her mouth.
For the first time, Old LadyShufen noticed that her granddaughter had such a pretty face.
But the thought that, starting from now, Mingyue was no longer her granddaughter, twisted Old LadyShufen's face into a frown!
That bad, Xiumei!
It would have been fine if she had wanted a split herself! But now she was even taking away theirShufen Family's child!
Just then, Xiumei came out of the house holding the child, "Yangyang, I've packed everything."
Mingyue turned to look at Xiumei, "Mom, let's go then."
"Alright." Xiumei nodded.
Old LadyShufen continued, "Xiumei, I'm giving you one last chance to reconsider. Back out now while you still can! Otherwise, it won't be easy for you to step inside the Shufen family's home ever again! Let me tell you, the world is a chaotic place right now. You three women leaving just like that will surely end up starving on the streets!"
Xiumei turned back to look at Old LadyShufen, her tone cold, "Don't worry! I'd rather starve in the street than return to theShufen family!"
"Good, good!") Old LadyShufen remarked sarcastically: "You have some nerve! Fine, leave! I look forward to the day you come back begging!"
How can a woman survive without a man?
It's impossible!
Without a doubt, Xiumei will come crying back to her finally!
Escorted by Yao Wei and the village chief, Mingyue and Xiumei left the Shufen family home, taking the child with them.
Just then, a pair of worn-out shoes tossed violently, hit Xiumei's back.
Indeed, a place of deprivation breeds evil people! Yao Wei frowned.
Holding the child, Xiumei couldn't help but tear up. In these times, a divorced woman was sure to be gossiped about. Needless to say, life for her, her daughter, and the child wouldn't be easy from now on.
"Mom, don't be afraid, and don't pay attention to others' stares! Rest assured, in the future, we will have good days! Isn't there a saying? Good days are forged through hardships!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Wei felt a rush of respect for Mingyueg.
The young girl was nothing like he had imagined; she was even stronger than her mother, Xiumei.
From start to end, she hadn't shed a single tear.
Yao Wie had initially thought that Mingyue was just a small-town girl with medical skills. It now seemed that she was far more special than he had imagined.
Yao Wei then asked, "Young comrade Mingyue, where do you plan to go from here?"
"I haven't decided yet," Mingyue Answered.
The village chief knew that Mingyue was hesitant to speak because of his presence. So, being polite, he said, "Secretary, I have some matters to attend to in the village, I will go ahead."
Yao Wie was unhappy with the way the village chief had handled things. He looked up at the village chief, his tone becoming serious, "You may go."
The village chief swallowed hard and turned to walk towards the village department.
He hoped that after today, he could continue being the village chief...
After the village chief had left, Yao gave Mingyuea a yellow cloth bag, "Young comrade Mingyue, Mr. Zhou has taken care of all the matters you asked him to help with. Additionally, there's some money in here as a token of goodwill from Mr. Zhou!"
Mingyue instantly refused: "Uncle Zhou has already helped me a lot, I cannot accept this money!"
Yao Wei laughed and said: "Accept it! It's not a lot of money, Mr. Zhou would be worried if you didn't. Moreover, you need to live when you are away!"
At this point, if Mingyue further fell, Yao Wei might think there was a hidden purpose!
Moreover, she did indeed need the money now.
"Please thank Uncle Zhou for me!" Mingyue Accepted the yellow cloth bag with both hands.
Yao Wei nodded, "Certainly. By the way, where do you plan to go after leaving here?"
Although Mingyue had previously said she hadn't chosen yet, Yao Wei knew that sheShufenst have had plans. She just didn't say anything because the town chief was there.
"To Beijing." Mingyueadded, "Then, I'll start a small business."
Upon hearing this, Yao Wei looked at Mingyue In wonder, "You want to become a private business owner?"
To be honest, in this age, private business owners were thought to be despicable. Some people would rather starve to death than go into business and become private business owners!
Being a seller was labelled 'speculative' and was especially shameful!
Nobody could've expected that the first group of private business owners going into business would end up as millionaires and billionaires!
This is why Yao Wei was so surprised when he heard that Mingyue wanted to be a private business owner.
Mingyue replied with a smile, "Yes, a private business owner. You heard correctly."
