Chapter 79 Zhao Guoqing and the Qigong Master (55)
"Auntie, it's getting late. I'm going home first."
Su Mingzhe wanted to make up an excuse and slip away.
Facing Chen Xiaofang's serious expression and eyes, Su Mingzhe felt a little nervous.
The scene where he and the girl were lying on the sofa together just now was really a bit too "outrageous".
Chen Xiaofang glanced at the two of them and nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.
She planned to have a good chat with her daughter after Su Mingzhe left, about the topic of "Girls should learn to cherish themselves".
It’s not that Chen Xiaofang is against her daughter’s relationship with Su Mingzhe, but she is afraid that they will do something wrong because they are still young.
'No one knows a daughter better than her mother', which means conversely, 'No one knows a mother better than her daughter'.
As soon as Li Ansheng saw her mother's expression, she knew she would be nagged tonight, so she reached out and hugged Su Mingzhe's arm tightly, blinking her eyes, looking at her boyfriend pitifully, and said:
"It's so late. If you go home, you will disturb your uncle and aunt's rest. Why don't you stay here? I have a spare bedroom anyway."
Su Mingzhe looked embarrassed and glanced at his future mother-in-law cautiously.
Chen Xiaofang was so angry at her daughter's words that she felt heartbroken. She had never enjoyed such dependence from her daughter, nor had she ever felt worried about whether she had had a good rest.
However, even though she felt upset, Chen Xiaofang was still very cheerful, so she followed her daughter's instructions and nodded:
"Mingzhe, don't leave tonight. Auntie also wants to talk to you."
Seeing this, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to agree, "Okay, Auntie," regardless of whether his future mother-in-law was sincere in trying to keep him.
There was silence in the living room for a while, with only Li Ansheng's favorite TV series still playing.
In the 1990s, television stations still broadcast TV dramas.
Generally, when a TV series is broadcast, there will only be about five minutes of advertisements in the middle.
The advertising time at this time is called the TV station's "prime time".
In ten years or so, TV stations will broadcast advertisements and insert TV dramas.
"what is this?"
Chen Xiaofang was in no mood to watch any soap operas. She accidentally found a stack of white papers on the table. Her eyes lit up. She saw neat and tidy regular script, which filled more than a dozen sheets of paper. The top sheet had only six large characters:
"Small workshop plan?"
"Auntie, this is a business plan I made. It's not yet completely finished."
Su Mingzhe quickly explained, but it was too late to clean up now.
Chen Xiaofang took the "plan" in her hand and flipped through it casually. The more she read, the more surprised she became.
I won’t talk about the font, it’s just eye-catching and pleasing to the eye.
The focus is on content.
As a senior executive of a foreign company, she has seen countless business plans.
But there are very few handwritten works as detailed and meaningful as Su Mingzhe's.
This "planning book" can almost be said to be a complete business plan.
Chen Xiaofang flipped through it twice, and after confirming that it was a complete plan, she couldn't help but ask:
"Mingzhe, are you planning to start a business?"
"Yes, Auntie."
Su Mingzhe had plans to start his own business a long time ago, but because he was young, he was not of the legal age to start a company.
He is fifteen years old this year. Even if he cannot be a legal person of a company, it is not a big problem for him to register a company and be the boss behind the scenes.
Chen Xiaofang originally wanted to ask Su Mingzhe what he thought, why he wanted to start a business at the age of fifteen.
But when the words came to my lips, I looked at the content of the project unconsciously and couldn't ask the three words "why".
Some people are born to excel.
Asking is innate.
Chen Xiaofang has seen many such geniuses.
That night, Su Mingzhe was resting alone in the guest room, and the kitten did not come in in the middle of the night.
The next day, Su Mingzhe had breakfast and left.
When Su Mingzhe returned home, only Su Daqiang and Su Mingyu were at home.
"Brother, you are back."
Su Mingyu is eight years old and is in the third grade of primary school.
"Well, are you good at home?"
Su Mingzhe casually handed his younger sister a bag of snacks, which he had taken from Li Ansheng's house.
When Su Mingyu saw the snacks, she instantly regained her energy while lying on the sofa like Ge You. She also slapped away her brother's right hand that was touching her head:
"Brother, I'm eight years old now. I'm not a five or six year old kid anymore."
"Yes, my little beauty is no longer a little brat in kindergarten."
Su Mingzhe was teasing his little sister, and Su Daqiang, who was reading in the bedroom, came out.
"Boss, I'm back."
"Dad, my mom isn't home?"
Su Mingzhe felt a headache when he saw Su Daqiang looking weak.
Usually at this time, Su Daqiang would have something on his mind.
"It's time to harvest the crops, your mother is taking your brother back to your grandmother's house."
"I almost forgot that it's autumn busy season."
The National Day holiday at this time is a bit long.
The term "National Day holiday" is actually a term used in later generations.
This time is called "autumn busy holiday".
Autumn busy season holiday and wheat busy season holiday are both types of busy agricultural season holidays.
It is a long holiday that some schools, factories and institutions will give when crops are harvested in rural areas.
The autumn busy holidays are usually around National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.
More than half of the students in the high school department of No. 1 Middle School come from rural areas, so according to regulations, they also have autumn busy season holidays.
The autumn busy season holiday starts from the National Day holiday and ends on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Su family lives in the city and has no arable land, so Su Mingzhe doesn't need to work in the fields.
However, Su Mingzhe's grandmother's family is from the countryside, with two acres of land, where they usually grow crops such as corn and peanuts. During the autumn busy season every year, Zhao Meilan would always take two days off, go back to the countryside, and help her mother's family with farm work for two days.
When they were young, Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng would usually go back with them. Even if they couldn't help with big jobs, they could still help pick up corn cobs and scatter peanuts.
But ever since Su Mingzhe beat his uncle Zhao Guoqing three years ago, he has never returned there again.
This year is no exception.
Zhao Meilan took Su Mingcheng back.
Su Mingzhe looked at his father's expression of despair and asked with some doubt:
"Dad, are you feeling unwell?"
"My heart aches, Boss."
Su Daqiang said as he sat on the sofa. He glanced at Su Mingzhe with his puffy eyes and asked in a sad tone, "Boss, how much money do you have now?"
Su Mingzhe was stunned. He didn't know what his father meant, so he just asked directly:
"Dad, are you short of money?"
"It's not me, it's your uncle."
Su Daqiang looked at the ceiling with a look of no desire to survive and said:
"Before your mother went back to your grandmother's house, your grandmother called and said that your uncle and aunt had been married for three years and had no children. They went to the hospital several times but could not find out what was wrong with them. Someone introduced a qigong master, saying that he was a direct disciple of Master Yan, and that he had great skills and could cure any disease, but it cost a lot of money to use his qi. Your mother took away all our savings books."
"Dad, these Qigong masters are all scammers. How could you allow my mom to take the money and hire a Qigong master?"
When Su Mingzhe heard the word qigong master, he wanted to roll his eyes.
Since the 1980s, there have been various qigong masters in society, constantly active in all walks of life, cheating people for food, drink, money and sex.
If it were a few years ago, it would have been difficult to persuade Su Mingzhe.
However, this year the country has issued a document to dispel rumors and has begun to vigorously crack down on all kinds of "charlatans" who engage in fraud.
How could her own mother, Zhao Meilan, who is a nurse, believe this?
"Will it be of any use if I disagree? Your grandma believes in this, your uncle believes in this, and now your mom believes in this too. We have already invited that qigong master to our home today."
Su Daqiang didn't say whether he believed it or not, but judging from his expression, he must hate this qigong master very much.
Because this Qigong master is trying to defraud the Su family of their money.
"You've invited everyone to your home? My grandma's home?"
"Ah."
"Dad, how about... we call the police?"
After Su Mingzhe beat his uncle Zhao Guoqing, he had a falling out with his grandmother's family.
If Zhao Guoqing did something weird but it didn't affect the Su family, Su Mingzhe would be very happy to watch the joke.
However, now that Zhao Guoqing wants to find a qigong master, he wants the Su family to pay for it.
Su Mingzhe refused to tolerate it.
Is it easy to make money on your own?
During the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, people work hard to set up stalls to make money, but they either die of heat or freeze to death.
After all the hard-earned money, Zhao Guoqing had to give it away to a liar and a charlatan.
Could Su Mingzhe agree to such a crap thing?
Grandma!
Su Daqiang's eyes lit up when he heard Su Mingzhe's words: "Call the police? Does PCS handle this?"
"This is a scam! Why doesn't PCS do anything about it?"
Su Mingzhe spoke in a firm tone. In order to protect his hard-earned money, he began to discuss with Su Daqiang how to call the police.
Soon the father and son made up their minds and agreed on a statement.
Let Su Mingyu stay at home alone.
When Su Daqiang and his father arrived at PCS, the person who answered the call was quite friendly. When he heard that someone was pretending to be a qigong master to cheat people out of money, he immediately agreed to go out on the call.
The Su family father and son took a police car and soon arrived at the rural area where the Zhao family lived.
The fact that the Zhao family invited a qigong master to treat their family members has attracted the attention of their neighbors.
At this time, rural people would rather believe in these supernatural things than not believe in them.
When the police arrived at the Zhao family's door with sirens blaring, everyone in the village was stunned and came over to watch what was happening.
Some old people smacked their lips and said to the people around them in a serious manner, "The Zhao family's feng shui is really bad. Even government officials are invited here."
The person next to him also looked serious and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, those who watch the fun are not afraid of trouble.
A group of people crowded at the door of Zhao's house, watching two police officers, as well as Su Daqiang and Su Mingzhe, father and son, walk out of the police car.
Someone recognized Su Daqiang and his son, and there was another round of discussion.
This public servant was actually brought by Zhao's son-in-law.
Now, everyone has something to talk about after dinner.
Captain Zhang, a police officer, arrived at Zhao's house under the leadership of Su Daqiang and Su Mingzhe.
At this time, Su Daqiang started to become timid again and did not dare to take another step inside.
It’s not that Su Daqiang is afraid of the Zhao family, but that he is afraid of his wife.
Zhao Meilan was also at the Zhao family at this time.
Su Mingzhe didn't care. In order to prevent his hard-earned money from being wasted, he led the way directly into the Zhao family and saw Zhao Guoqing sitting in the yard, receiving treatment from a qigong master.
"Officer Zhang, that's my uncle."
There were also quite a few people gathered in the Zhao family courtyard, all waiting to see the qigong master perform qigong and heal illnesses.
This is a rare thing. Once you see it, you can brag about it for the rest of your life.
When Zhao Meilan saw her son appear with two police officers, she subconsciously knew that something was going to go wrong.
"Mingzhe, why did you bring JC home?"
"Come and catch the liar."
Su Mingzhe acted as if it was a matter of course and gave way to JC behind him.
That captain had been working for nearly twenty years, and this time he had an aura that frightened all evil spirits. His sharp eyes scared the qigong master who was pretending to perform qigong so much that his hands and feet turned cold, and he could not sit still and fell to the ground.
Su Mingzhe found it funny that such a "cowardly bandit" liar could actually fool a group of people.
Just when Su Mingzhe thought that the Qigong master was about to reveal his true colors and surrender.
The Qigong master actually blinked his triangular eyes, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, and screamed, "Oh no, my magnetic field has been disrupted..."
