Chapter 304 Li Dayong's Emotional Affair
Before leaving, the Yangcheng Merchants' Association also sent people to deliver many gifts.
Winning over Smith was a pleasant surprise for them, especially since the other party later increased the investment amount. This made them excited, but also curious about how Gu Mingyue persuaded the other party.
Someone found out what happened in the hotel before, but they could only be half-believing and half-doubting.
Chinese people generally keep silent about feudal superstitions. Even after years of crackdowns and suppression, many people still hold the mentality of "it is better to believe it than not to believe it."
The people from the Merchants Group wanted to ask in person, but when they learned that the Shen family had negotiated for the quota for the trade fair, they gave up the idea.
There are so many different opinions and rumors, making Gu Mingyue's image even more mysterious.
As soon as he heard that the other party was about to return, he immediately sent him a generous gift.
Upon learning that it was because of Smith, Gu Mingyue accepted it without hesitation. After all, pretending to be cool was very physically and mentally exhausting. Besides, she had paid for her secret medicinal wine herself, so she naturally deserved it.
Not only that, she also quietly told the people from the China Merchants Group not to be polite and to ask for anything they needed.
The other party asked hesitantly, "Any?"
Gu Mingyue said casually, "It's just a matter of opening your mouth. If you can do it, that's the best. If you can't, you won't lose anything. Don't worry, Smith is absolutely sincere."
The person from the Merchants Group couldn't help but ask respectfully, "How can you be sure? Can you really cast a curse?"
Gu Mingyue laughed secretly and took the opportunity to explain, "How is that possible? I just performed a magic trick, and the foreigner believed it and was sure that I was a hermit. So I must have taken advantage of the situation and pretended to be so good that I could scare Smith."
After saying that, he did not forget to perform a show by making the banknote disappear and then appearing again.
When watching videos in later generations, you can often see magic tricks that can be found everywhere and are very easy to learn.
But at that time, television was not yet popular, and for the people from the China Merchants Group, it was the first time they had seen it.
Especially when they were face to face, none of them could find the flaws and they kept exclaiming in surprise.
At this moment, several people resolved their doubts, and Gu Mingyue made up her lie. The trip to Guangzhou ended successfully.
Although Gu Laoliu and Li Dayong came here just to run errands this time, they were very steady in their performance and were very capable in dealing with people.
Before Bai Fenglai stepped down, Gu Mingyue initially wanted these two people to take over as responsible persons. She knew that the educated youth would leave sooner or later, so she wanted Zeng Min to be her deputy.
But Brother Six likes the freedom of sales and doesn’t care about being in charge.
Li Dayong did have this tendency, but unfortunately, his father sprained his waist while working and was unable to get out of bed, so he had to stay in bed for half a year.
Since his divorce, he has not remarried. He has been busy with everything at home and outside, so he has not been able to run for election.
I guess he feels that the family cannot do without a woman, and the other party's parents are old and really need someone to take care of them all the time.
It just so happened that there was a new family that had moved into the village, and there was a girl named Wang Erya who met the requirements.
Speaking of this person, he is also a miserable person.
First, she was engaged twice, but the man had accidents each time. She finally got married, but met a foolish and filial man. She gave birth to a daughter who was not welcomed. She was treated like a slave in her husband's house, had no food to eat, and was scolded or beaten all day long.
Wang Erya has another identity, she is the sister-in-law of the girl who wanted to frame Guanglei before.
She suffered a lot when she was at her parents' home. Her family wanted to exchange her for a dowry, thinking that by finding a man they could escape from their original family and live a happy life.
Who would have thought that he would just escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's lair?
Disappointments over and over again made her completely disheartened. She didn't know where to go in the future and could only hold her only daughter to survive in the cracks.
Gujia Village has always had zero tolerance for families that abuse others.
Liu Caixia, the women's director, would block the door and start scolding them whenever they came across her. Don't listen? Sure, then punish them to do the most tiring work, so that they don't have the energy to bother others anymore.
This tradition has been followed since Uncle Gu became the patriarch of the clan.
Therefore, when Wang Erya first appeared in front of everyone in Gujia Village, looking at the mother and daughter who were as thin as skeletons, in sharp contrast with her husband's family, the aunts and sisters who had long been at the forefront of gossip instantly understood what was going on.
During that period, whenever Liu Caixia arrived at mealtime, she would appear at the other party's table and supervise her in-laws to distribute the food equally to the mother and daughter.
Not convinced? Fine, everyone will go carry manure, and after work, they will be taken directly to the wheat field for struggle and ideological and political classes.
After just a few visits, Wang Erya's in-laws no longer dared to treat her harshly in public.
Liu Caixia also knew that this was only a temporary solution, not a fundamental one. Fortunately, over the years, she had learned a little bit of Gu Mingyue's ability to deceive people by watching him every day.
Whenever he had the chance, he would brainwash Wang Erya.
He first described to her how good the lives of other families in Gujia Village were, then asked her to imagine what the future would be like, and then taught her step by step how to be independent and strong.
This kind of advice and exhortation from an elder was something Wang Erya had never experienced in her first half of her life. She was flattered and absorbed everything she heard and learned like a sponge every day.
The unexpected incident occurred when her daughter overheard her grandmother and aunt planning to plot against someone else.
When Wang Erya learned the news, she immediately found Gu Mingyue to inform her. Although she was illiterate, she understood the principle of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring.
Gujia Village has given them a second life, and she doesn't want to let such a good person be framed by those despicable people in her husband's family.
Because of this, when Gu Mingyue drove the other in-laws out of the village, she left the mother and daughter alone.
After obtaining Wang Erya's consent, she forced the man to sign a divorce agreement. The moment she received the divorce certificate, Wang Erya burst into tears.
Afterwards, he immediately changed his daughter's name to Wang Nian'en, to remind himself and his daughter to remember the kindness of everyone.
It is said that Li Dayong's conditions are more than enough to find an unmarried girl, but his original intention is to find someone to accompany his parents, so he prefers someone who is honest and virtuous.
Wang Erya then came into his sight.
Li Dayong first sought his mother's opinion.
Tian Maisui had been talking to her son so hard over the years but he hadn't wavered in his opinion. Now that he finally gave in, she didn't care anymore. As long as she had a companion and wasn't lonely when she got old, she and the old man could rest in peace even after they died.
Hearing his mother's words, Li Dayong felt helpless and said casually, "Aunt is alone too, and I don't see the village chief and others are worried."
But Tian Maisui showed her contempt for her son without hiding it. "How dare you compare yourself to Mingyue? Even though she is old, she has many filial sons and grandsons. You, really are... what do you call it? How can you be so far away?"
"You are too ambitious!" Li Dayong said speechlessly, "No, Mom, your words are too insulting, aren't they? I am such a bad son."
Tian Maisui said unhappily, "Who told you to be so unrealistic and compare yourself with Mingyue? Even if you compare yourself with Gu Laoliu, I won't look down on you. Ah, no, Gu Laoliu also has a wife and children. Oh, son, you'd better not compare yourself with him..."
Li Dayong:.........Mom, you'd better not go to the workshop in the future. I see that your skills haven't improved much, but your tongue is getting worse and worse.
Tian Maisui: Get out, you unfilial son!
