Back to 1984: Earning Money, Raising Kids, and Keeping the Household Busy

Seeing her flustered and helpless look, Su Shengning laughed, "Comrade Liu Ling, we can't let them suffer the loss just because they're spreading rumors everywhere, right?"

"Correct!"

"How about we give it a try? What if it works out?"

"That's right! Huh? What did you say?"

When Su Shengnin met Liu Ling's surprised eyes, his smile deepened, and he said in a serious tone, "I'm serious, Comrade Liu Ling. We've gotten to know each other a little over this period of time. What do you think of me?"

Liu Ling thought about it carefully, then blushed and replied, "It's fine."

Su Shengnin's father is a retired teacher, and he himself works at the Public Security Bureau with a stable income and is handsome. His conditions are indeed impeccable.

Su Shengning's smile deepened even more. "I also think you're pretty good."

And so the two of them tacitly agreed to it.

After seeing Su Shengnin off, Liu Ling returned to her own courtyard and saw Granny Liu's furious face.

"That mouth of Li San's mother! I wish I could sew her shut! She can make up baseless stories as if they were the truth!"

The redness on Liu Ling's face gradually faded. "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"What else could it be? Li San's mother just came to see me, saying that you're dating a young man and she wanted to find out about Xiao Su's background. I told her that you're not dating anyone, but she didn't believe me and insisted that you are, and she even argued with me for a bit!"

Grandma Liu grew angrier and angrier. How could she not know her own granddaughter's situation! Who gave a damn about that loose-lipped old woman to spout such nonsense!

Liu Ling rubbed her hands together, fidgeting and unsure how to begin.

Grandma Liu looked at her strangely for a moment, "What's wrong? Do you have worms in your butt?"

Liu Ling stomped her feet in anger, "Grandma! What nonsense are you talking about! Yes, yes, Comrade Su just confessed to me, and I agreed to try dating him."

"Oh! This is wonderful news! Wait here! Grandma will go cook and make you an extra dish! A good reward for you." Grandma Liu walked excitedly towards the kitchen.

Liu Ling couldn't understand, "Grandma, what reward do I deserve?"

"As a reward, you finally don't have to be an old maid anymore!"

Liu Ling: "."

While Granny Liu was overjoyed, Liu Yongming's family across the street was devastated.

After Liu Yongming was sentenced to death, An Meihua ran away. Ma Cuihua lay on the ground for half a day until Liu Yongguo returned and helped her up and took her into the house. Then, that night, Liu Li, who had been missing for a long time, returned.

It almost scared Liu Yongguo and Ma Cuihua to death.

Grandma Liu is old and doesn't sleep well. When she heard the noise from across the street, she got up and stood on a stool to check what was happening in the opposite yard.

I caught a glimpse of Liu Li's sinister face under the light, and my heart pounded in my chest.

The main room of the Liu family.

Liu Yongguo and Ma Cuihua were still complaining to Liu Li, "Li! Your second brother was forced to do those things. You're married very well, aren't you? Can you find someone to pull some strings and save your second brother?"

Liu Li looked Ma Cuihua up and down, then said expressionlessly, "Mom, you've aged a lot. How have you been all these years while I was gone? Has your second brother given you any money?"

Ma Cuihua was confused, but still nodded honestly, "They did give me some money, but I'm an old lady and I don't need much. We're talking about your second brother's matter, why are you bringing up money?" Liu Li suddenly sneered, "Don't you know that Liu Yongming got all that money by selling me? He gave me to that perverted old man. Do you know what kind of life I lived every day?"

"If that freak hadn't fallen from grace, I wouldn't have been able to escape! And now you want me to save Liu Yongming? On what grounds! That heartless, rotten bastard deserves to die a horrible death!"

Ma Cuihua and Liu Yongguo were frightened by Liu Li's appearance.

The mother and son looked at each other, neither daring to utter a sound for a moment.

Grandma Liu shook her head, got off the stool, and turned back to her room.

the next day.

Liu Ling went to work early, and after get off work she went directly to Nanyu to tell Lin Qin about Liu Yongming.

Lin Qin never expected Fang Meixiang to end up like this, and she sighed deeply.

Liu Ling said, "My grandma also said that Liu Li was sold by Liu Yongming. She escaped back last night and has been acting strangely ever since. I didn't see her when I went out this morning, and I don't know what happened! Sigh! One Liu Yongming is gone and another Liu Li has come. I'm scared to be neighbors with a family like this."

I've just reached the required years of work experience, and the school has allocated me an apartment. I want to move there with my parents and grandmother, far away from this family.

She had had this idea for a while, but she couldn't make up her mind. Ever since she found out what Liu Yongming had done last night, she has been afraid every time she passes through the alley on her way home. If this continues, her mental state will be off, so she might as well move out and have some peace and quiet.

Lin Qin raised both hands in agreement, "Remember to let me know after you move, and we'll come over and join the fun."

"it is good!"

A few days later, Lin Qin still hadn't received any news about Liu Ling moving, but she had heard about her relationship with Su Shengning, and was thinking that she would have to send out another big red envelope this year.

Sure enough, a month later, Su Shengning and Liu Ling came to deliver the wedding invitations together.

After attending several wedding banquets, the Spring Festival is gradually approaching.

Just as everyone in Nanyu was preparing for a lively New Year celebration, Shen Wenfeng suddenly visited.

“Sister-in-law, Liu Yongming is going to be executed in a few days. His last request before he died was to see you. I’m just here to let you know as a matter of routine. Whether you see him or not is up to you.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's smiles vanished.

Lin Yi slammed his fist on the table in anger, “We’ve been divorced for so many years! My daughter has had absolutely no contact with him for a long time, why should we see him again! No way!”

Lin Qin patted Lin Yi twice reassuringly, "Yes! I've cut all ties with him, why would I see him? It's better not to see him. You can pass on a message to him for me: what goes around comes around, he deserves what he got! The biggest regret of my life is marrying him."

Shen Wenfeng nodded, "Okay! I'll pass it on!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's expression finally softened. "Let's not talk about that spoilsport. Come on! Where were we?"

Shen Wenfeng joined in the fun for a while, drank two cups of tea, and then left with Chen Wenjun.

On the tin boat, Chen Wenjun looked at Shen Wenfeng apologetically, "My father-in-law suffered a lot at the hands of Liu Yongming back then, and he hates him so much that his teeth itch. So he got a little emotional, please don't mind him."

Shen Wenfeng chuckled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave one to Chen Wenjun, then lit one for himself. Amidst the swirling smoke, he said softly, "I've seen it all! I understand Uncle's feelings. To be honest, there's really no need to see Liu Yongming. Let's leave it at that!"

When Shen Wenfeng relayed Lin Qin's words to Liu Yongming, Liu Yongming suddenly erupted, shouting and yelling wildly, pounding on the railing until it vibrated. "Is she afraid to see me because she feels guilty! Hahahaha, I knew she was a ghost! A ghost coming to collect a debt from me! Lin Qin! You've ruined me so badly! I won't let you get away with this! Even as a ghost, I won't let you go! Hahahaha!"

The prison guards assumed Liu Yongming was insane and ignored him. (End of Chapter)
