Chapter 9 Section IX

Almost every week, when she came back to the city to visit her daughter-in-law, she would come to my house to play with my children for an afternoon. A person who has experienced the reversal of the great era and changed his life value and personality, the contact with her is extra interesting. The peace of my third aunt gave me a great sense of peace. She just recently said to me: Yaohui often sends me letters back, asking me to greet you. I hesitate to say: Well, the truth is that Yaohui and I have no active correspondence with each other, and we both have inexplicable fears.He and I will never forget what he said before he left Hong Kong.

His academic performance is very good. These days after graduating with a master's degree, he is working in the United States while studying. This kid is very good at planning for the future. Is he not going to come back?I asked. It was not mentioned in the letter that the man has ambitions everywhere, and he seems to like life in a foreign country. How old is Yaohui this year? Probably twenty-four or five years old.The third aunt asked, what's the matter? Nothing, just ask. Of course, the truth is not to ask casually, but to have other plans and preparations. When Jin Yaohui is twenty-eight years old, he can directly manage the property under his name.

At that time, the Jin family's world was divided into three parts, what was the situation like? How will Jin Xuhui deal with me and Jin Yaohui? Will Jin Yaohui take some actions when he is in power because of his delicate relationship with me? Human feelings and affairs are always intricate and entangled. The most intense period of the sixties is finally over. Hong Kong, a blessed land, has exerted its mysterious and strange power to create another new atmosphere. As soon as we stepped into the 1970s, the stock market began to climb, and the bull market reappeared, and people were excited.

The depression in the market is gradually receding, and people have completely forgotten the losses and misery experienced in investment in the past few years. Everyone is gearing up, fighting with swords, and fighting in the rivers and lakes again. Only I am not qualified. Years ago, Xiru framed me, and the battle at the Weite Pharmaceutical Factory left me heavily in debt. The family economy is really just superficial. Tang Xiangnian comforted me and said: Xinru, it's time for you to stand up. What about the capital, where can I find it? There is always a way. I will no longer borrow from you.

One piece is dirty and two pieces are also dirty. A man doesn’t stick to trifles. Heroes don’t ask where they come from. You have to be a generalist. I didn't say anything. It is not unreasonable to taste his words carefully. As long as the timing is right, I will make a good bet. Life is basically a big game of gambling, in which there are game after game of different bets, so it is unavoidable. Tang Xiangnian gave me advice: Xinru, the building you live in should be remodeled. I'm also having this thought. The recovery of the stock market will lead to a boom in real estate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I should use my brains on real estate.

So they began to notify the tenants to take over the building, and checked out the adjacent building units that had not been included in the name of Jin's enterprise, and assigned them to Li Yuande to investigate the owners and try to acquire them. I have made an agreement with Tang Xiangnian. We are partners in this reconstruction plan. I will figure out how to organize the cost of purchasing the unit. It really pays off. When I was working hard, I received an extremely exciting news from Weite Pharmaceutical Factory. Dawei shook the phone and said: Your land in Houston is being offered a premium price.

Why? Because oil was unearthed not far from the land. sky! congratulations!This is undoubtedly good news. Then I don't sell it!I say greedily. Dawei laughed loudly: Of course you don't have to sell it.However, let me explain to you first that even if you find rich oil under your land, the mining right belongs to the U.S. government, and they will compensate you for the land price. How can you let it go if you sell it at the price? Why should buyers buy? If there is an oil development zone nearby, they plan to develop a commercial and residential center on your piece of land, which will definitely be profitable.

OK, I think about it. When the administrative department of Weite Pharmaceutical Factory, which is in charge of the land on my behalf, sent me a draft contract of sale, I really couldn't resist the unexpected purchase price. Li Yuanzhen said: Sister-in-law, don't sell it, since someone is willing to offer such a good price, it must be worth the money. After careful consideration, I did not accept Li Yuanzhen's opinion. Finally, I signed the land sale contract. Because there is only such thing as buying the wrong product in the world, not selling the wrong product.The reason for not selling wrong is that the use of money after cashing out can play a greater role.

For example, if I use the money in hand to renovate the McDonald Road building, the money I can earn back is better than sitting on the sidelines. Besides, my roots are always in Hong Kong. This belief and choice have remained unchanged for more than 20 years since the 1970s, making me a huge fortune. There was also some superstition involved in the decision at that time. Houston was my luck, and the transactions made on it were always profitable. I believe that when I bought the land in Houston out of instinct and special feelings, it was to become my savior of cash flow today. After so many years of suffering, I realized a great truth in life.

After a great success, there must be a great rebellion, and after a great rebellion, there must be a great success. Feng Shui must take turns. Having suffered setbacks in the past few years, the day of turning around should be in sight. The problem is how to control the situation when there is a day of comeback, to meet or even create minor adversity in the midst of great success, in order to keep the country. Of course I have accumulated experience and have my magic weapon. I told Tang Xiangnian, Fu Jing and my third aunt that I was going to fly to Houston to make the deal. Tang Xiangnian's reaction was the best, he said happily:

Xinru, you have risen from the experience, this is worthy of congratulations.People's fortune comes and goes, and only by grasping it can there be great achievements. He absolutely agrees with my investment focus on Hong Kong. If we hadn’t insisted on this concept, how many wealthy people in Hong Kong went overseas in the 1980s would have been taken aback when they calculated their gains and losses in the 1990s. Only the Tang family and I stuck to our Hong Kong position and made the decision to enter the inland for business early on, proving that Be smart. As for Fu Jing, her tone was a bit noncommittal. I said: You don't think it's a wise move? She quickly denied it, saying: no no.Please forgive me for having a little personal problem these days, which distracts me and makes it difficult to concentrate on analyzing business.Xinru, I can only congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. In many cases, it is not convenient for friends to give opinions on major matters, so as to avoid taking responsibility. Of course, I don't have to pay attention to whether what Fu Jing said is an excuse. As for the third aunt, I originally just let her know that there would be a long trip and asked her to visit the children more often when she was free. I didn't expect any special reaction from her. But when she heard it, she immediately said: It was a coincidence that I just received a letter from Yaohui, saying that he was going to Houston to stay for a few weeks. Yeah?I'm at a loss. Inform him that you will be there too, will you? I have no reason to say no. This means that I must meet Jin Yaohui. During the years he was studying abroad, we had very little contact with each other. During the holidays, there are always congratulations and condolences, and a few words to say that you are safe will be fine. I happened to be in a great change after the listing of the Jin Corporation. Years of painstaking efforts were wasted all of a sudden. A series of conflicts became fierce, and my ambition and heroic spirit were compromised everywhere, and I became a little careless and exhausted in dealing with life and others. What's more, my brother-in-law Yaohui and I have already surfaced the subtle feelings. If we want to reciprocate eagerly with him, we must have a bottom line in our hearts and know how to deal with it. However, I was at a loss and really didn't know what to do. I know this symbolizes a very serious message, and I have not completely eliminated the possibility of accepting Jin Yaohui.Otherwise, with a clear heart, what are you afraid of, as the elder sister-in-law, who has continued to depend on each other for many years, caring for each other, interacting with him, caring about his future, and caring about his life! This unsteady feeling is messy, troubled, confused, sad, and even uncomfortable. The only way is to put this problem on the shelf, don't think about it, don't touch it, don't deal with it. I hope that one day the unprovoked problems will be solved. Or Jin Yaohui has been in the United States for many years, has made a close girlfriend, and will soon start a family.The intertwined love between the 15 and 20 years of age is just the general life experience of many boys, and it is nothing to worry about.When he grows up and looks back, he can't help but smile. Or maybe Jin Yaohui has seen the world, traveled through the vast world outside, and when he reads more people, he knows that there are indeed lovely and amiable women everywhere, and Fang Xinruzhen is not the same thing. It is more likely that I am overly sensitive, Jin Yaohui's love and respect for me is not deviant.The reason why I can dream about it is because I do have strange feelings for him.Then be vigilant to yourself, urge yourself, govern yourself, and don't go on rashly. Therefore, I am afraid of doing what fish and geese usually do. The feelings exchanged in letters are often deeper than meeting in person. Who will easily reveal their weaknesses in words?Who would start unnecessary disputes in the letter?It is easy to have strong feelings in the pen, and it is easier to convey affection between the lines. I dare not take the risk. As for Jin Yaohui, why he didn't write more letters back to me, there may be at least ten explanations. It is common for boys to be lazy in writing letters. What to express in the letter is also a dilemma. If it is not well expressed, it will fall into the hands of others in black and white, and the consequences can be large or small. The past is the past, the present is the present.The people and things that he was interested in before can be ignored now. People have the right to change their minds at any time. Who has a contract with whom again?Even if there is, so what?Both Jin Xinhui and Jin Xuhui are ready-made examples. Or, Jin Yaohui's inexhaustible tenderness towards me is still there, and he doesn't know how to express it, and it gets more and more entangled, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. Could this be the last possibility? Am I willing to do this? Ever since my third aunt revealed Jin Yaohui's whereabouts to me, I have been thinking about him, about me, about me and him. The trip to Dezhou became worrying, at a loss, like walking on thin water, like facing an abyss. To admit it frankly, I am a little bit worried about gains and losses, and I am both surprised and happy. Not necessarily because of desire for lust, but because of being alone for many years. I am afraid that I have reached the most difficult moment of loneliness. I hope to have the opportunity to experience the influence of the soul again, and I can't suppress it. I have been losing sleep for many nights, tossing and turning until dawn. Widowed for more than ten years, I can't stop thinking about the journey of my deep love for more than ten years. The love that can be remembered and traced, but the love that can't be instant and can't be reproduced is really hard work. These years have barely survived, just because the ups and downs of the economy and career are too big, taking up too much energy and time, I have no choice. Once life returns to normal, I think about myself, my immediate needs, and my future. future? Is there a future for a woman without a man? It's ridiculous. Once I didn't sleep well at night, I woke up with a pain on one side of my head in the morning. I have heard that the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, who was widowed at the age of twenty-six, often suffered from migraines, probably because of her sleepless nights, the emptiness that could not be filled, and the mental stress. I can't think about it anymore. After the plane arrived in Houston, Weite Pharmaceuticals sent a special person to pick me up together with William Bull, the broker in charge of my land management, and put me in the Hilton Hotel in the city, let me have a good rest, and then make an appointment to see a lawyer tomorrow Go upstairs to make a deal. William said: Mrs. Jin, the sale price of your land has broken our record for the highest sale of land per acre. Congratulations. Thank you for your care. What do you plan to do with the money after the transaction?I can arrange with a law firm. Transfer all the money back to my account in Hong Kong. Mrs. Kim, you don't plan to invest in the United States anymore?I have a lot of good and cheap properties for you to choose from. Let’s do the math later, we are Hong Kong people and our roots are in Hong Kong. Now the Hong Kong stock market is thriving and brilliant, and I am very reluctant to give up this opportunity. Although the market is good, I will not give up. Even if the market is bad, my idea is to stick to it. As long as Hong Kong does not sink, we will have a chance to turn around. Tried and tested. William couldn't convince me that he probably only earned a commission on one sale. After I arrived at the hotel, I took a hot bath first, turned down William's meal appointment, and planned to have a good sleep before making any plans. The phone book on the bedside contained Jin Yaohui's phone number in this city. I stared blankly and did not take any action for a long time. Jumping into bed all at once, I repeated to myself: Go to sleep first, and then talk when you wake up. I have a habit of urging myself to go to bed whenever there is an unresolved problem in front of me. I hope that when I wake up, I will be refreshed, and I will think of a good solution, or the problem will be solved. Sleeping is a form of escape. Just like some people, unable to figure out the problem, simply commit suicide. It's just the difference between a long sleep or a short sleep. Ideology is not much different. I put the quilt on and closed my eyes when someone knocked on the door. I asked aloud: who? The other party answered: It's a hotel waiter. I was so angry that I had to get up and open the door. No human face can be seen, only a big canopy of carnations, white, with a lot of green grass and fine leaves sandwiched, so fresh and beautiful that it makes people's heart beat dizzyingly. Someone sent you flowers, madam. The waiter handed the flowers to me, and then retired with a smile. Half my life has passed, and I have never received flowers. Some people say that a woman who has not received flowers is not a woman. In the first half of my life, I had never really been a woman. The feeling of receiving a bouquet of flowers is simple and clear. I just feel so comfortable, so comfortable, so comfortable. He took the business card among the flowers and looked at it carefully. It was not the board of directors of Weite Pharmaceutical Factory, but a person named Yaohui. The note reads: I have wished to send you flowers since I was a child, and today my wish finally came true.If you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, if you are destined to miss it, it depends on whether you are willing to shake this phone number. Without thinking for half a second, I jumped to the head of the bed, grabbed the phone and shook it. It was Yaohui who answered the call.I said: Destined or not, see if you are willing to come here to see me. Jin Yaohui is here. When he was standing at the door of the room, I stared at him and couldn't help being dizzy for a while. I almost blurted out and called him Xinhui. After a few years of absence, Jin Yaohui, who has completely washed away the childishness of the big boy, is more heroic, handsome, suave and less social than when he left Hong Kong.When he stood, there was an atmosphere of standing proudly, neither humble nor humble. No longer a boy, but a man. He already has style. Yaohui didn't address me, but when he saw me, he just stayed for a while, then rushed forward and hugged me tightly. When he was young, whenever he had a problem or I had a grievance, our uncle and sister-in-law would hug each other tightly. Unity is strength. As long as the warmth of each other is transmitted, the world is not cold, and there is always someone standing by my side, for myself Cheer up. Today, it feels the same, but not the same. I couldn't control myself, I felt the undulating chest clinging to the chest of a mature and strong man, like a tired boat bent into the bay, it had reached its destination and never set sail again. We didn't part too quickly, twice as long as a hug should have. Then, Jin Yaohui let me go, the way he stared at my face was the same as when Jin Xinhui first dated me to the prom and sent me home that night, saying goodbye to me many, many years ago. Those eyes clearly told me that we will continue to develop, we will, sure enough Today, I caught the message from the past in the depths of Jin Yaohui's pupils, which made my whole body go limp, and I almost fell into Jin Yaohui's arms again. I can finally see you.He said. why not? I thought you refused to see me? Did I say so? Today, God obeys people's wishes. It is also the right time, place and people. There are many catastrophes, the soldiers killed the enemy, and the bloody battles on the battlefield. The soldiers who survived the battle will definitely enjoy life desperately after retreating. Because he has seen failure, witnessed death, and experienced doom, he knows that when there is a chance to breathe, he does not let it go. Zhan Yun must rise again at any time, and the struggle of life has no time. Maybe, next time, the robe will be stained with blood, and he will never come back. For the Jin family, I am exhausted and exhausted. For me, the Jin family did everything they could, lest I would not be defeated. If I don't liberate myself, no one will pity me. The psychological barrier was knocked down because of the sudden outburst of long-repressed feelings, and I wanted to soar high. When Jin Yaohui and I had dinner in the hotel's French-style open-air restaurant and drank a bottle of good red wine, I saw him, both familiar and vague. I kept reminding myself that he was Yaohui, not Xinhui.It is Yaohui who should be better, because Xinhui has betrayed and betrayed, he has Fang Jianru, he is not only me. Why don't you go back to Hong Kong?I asked. Not ready yet.Yaohui answered. What about the future? It depends on the situation these days. I laughed, pretending not to understand what he said. Sure enough, there is that kind of affection in my heart that has long been far away from me and has become a stranger, but it is also a dream. This feeling is all I need. This feeling made me know that I can still be a woman with flesh and blood, not only pain and difficulty but also happiness.That's important. How long have you been in Houston?I asked again. Ten days to two weeks. What are you doing? Vacation and see friends. do you have friends here Yes, her family is here too. Does the visit have anything to do with her family? I have an urgent need to consult with Yunnie's father. Um!I didn't ask any more questions. Yunni must be a nice girl's name. You have taken good care of yourself over the years.Yaohui said. The same to you.Let me answer, did you enter a financial institution in Chicago after finishing your master's degree in California? right.Chicago is actually a financial center second only to New York in the United States, and the futures trading here is quite active.I concentrate on studying here and benefit a lot. If you go back to Hong Kong, you will soon be able to be a hero. You mean when I turn twenty-eight, I can take over the property? You have noticed your rights. Someone mentioned me. Jin Xuhui?I said. right. How did he say? He asked me if I was going back to Hong Kong to take over. What is your answer? A decision should be made in a few days.When he said this, a moment of confusion flashed across Jin Yaohui's face, and he couldn't see whether it was doubt or sadness. I was waiting for Yunni's father to give me an opinion. ah, is it?Does his opinion matter? Yes.Jin Yaohui said. A chance for me to meet your friend. Let's see!If it suits me. I did not answer. The situation does not seem difficult to assess. Na Yunni is an important person around Jin Yaohui, their future depends on Yunni's father, and the old man has to make some influential decisions. However, if Yunni is here, then what is my role? Naturally, Jin Yaohui would not think that he and I need to involve the future. The lack of prospects does not mean that you need to give up the present. That's it, Jin Yaohui settled Yunni and me in his heart. Two women from different backgrounds have very different emotional relationships with him, but at the same time provide him with the same benefits and enjoyment. No wonder, they are all brothers of the Jin family, and their thoughts and behaviors are so identical. I smile wryly. Jin Yaohui stretched out his hand, held mine tightly, and said: You think too much, many times, there are many things, it is not our turn to think too much, even if we rack our brains, we will not come up with the truth and why, everything is just as it is. I accept these words. You just got off the plane today, so I'm afraid you're tired. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, you go to finish the land sale, and I'll pick you up in a car and walk around. That's it. Go to the designated lawyer's office the next day to formally sign the sales contract.I made a small request by the way. What was sold was a few hundred acres of land, and I asked for ten acres to be reserved for my own use in the future. I said: Houston has always brought me good luck. I plan to build a small estate and come here for vacation when I have time, and also to see Waite's good friends. The buyer had no objection and the transaction was successfully completed. In the afternoon, Jin Yaohui came to pick me up. When he saw my outfit, he was stunned. I have always been a woman in a cheongsam or a suit, which seems to be old-fashioned.Only today, I deliberately appeared in a relaxed attire. Wearing a pair of jeans, a white floral shirt, flat loafers, and white socks. A middle-aged woman still looks youthful in such a dress. Or I hope to shorten the distance between Jin Yaohui and me, and meet Yunni who has never met before. All are symbols of love. I actually enjoyed it frankly, without shame, and wantonly. The environment created who I am now, and I seem to be a deserter. The pressure on a widow of the Jin family is left in Hong Kong and is not with me, so I have no taboos. Undoubtedly, we who walk in front of others are quite a matching pair. More than ten years ago, the two of us were in the two age divisions. There was a huge distance between the boy in his teens and the young woman in his twenties.But not now. I know I'm enjoying people's delusions. It's been a long time since I've tried to be considered as the owner's famous flower when I appeared in front of people. This kind of status has its own dignity. where are you goingJin Yaohui asked. You can take me anywhere. good.let's go. Jin Yaohui naturally took my hand, ran across the road, and got into his rented car. I suddenly asked: How about going to the half of the hill that I just sold? It's nothing to do with me, I don't bother myself, so what do I look like? No, I still have ten acres of land for my own use.I glanced at Jin Yaohui and said, I plan to build a small manor for vacation. Houston is indeed a great place.He replied that he agreed with my budget. Is it a metaphor?If we don't get together well in our own society, the manor here is a good place. I suddenly became shy and lowered my head. There was no further speech along the way. Why Jin Yaohui? If I really can't bear it anymore, and I'm not willing to keep my lifelong loyalty for Jin Xinhui, I don't necessarily choose Jin Yaohui. Why can't it be Tang Xiangnian? Even frankly and wretchedly, it could be David Mingli or William Bull. They are a nation that is used to seeing the relationship between men and women as simple as shaking hands and greetings. They welcome spring dreams without traces and romance without regrets. Unless I love Jin Yaohui. do i love him Or he is just an ideal candidate who fits all the conditions and caters to my special mentality at this specific time, so I think he should be in the Jin family. Since Xinhui died, I have been fighting alone. Over the years, Tiredness and heart-stirring are not the most uncomfortable things. I feel that the biggest and greatest dissatisfaction is that I can't find a half relative in my family who is willing to do anything to love me, and swears that there will be no difference.This made me feel ashamed and self-pitying, day after day, year after year. Now resting for a while, when I look back by chance, I see Yaohui alone, who really is in the dimly lit place. It was the feeling of him that made me feel soft and refreshed. Tang Xiangnian is not from the Jin family, and he did not bring me this special, indescribable, and inexplicable sense of honor. Following Tang Xiangnian is just like a woman in the Jin family who has no pity, thrown out into the world, and with a little luck, someone else picks her up and takes care of her. I am so unwilling. Moreover, a voice in my heart began to say: If you want to betray Xinhui, the most thorough revenge for him is to pick on his younger brother. is that so? How true is my self-analysis? The car stopped in my contemplation. Let's get out of the car.Stepping on the green grassland at the foot of the hillside, the irritability and unreasonable worries just now seemed to be filtered by the clear spring and washed away. Is it on this land?Jin Yaohui asked. The sun shone on his head, gilding his whole body. The men of the Jin family always appear golden and dazzling when they are mature. Under the sun, Jin Yaohui on the grassland is exactly the same as Jin Xinhui in the Aiqun Hotel on the bank of the Pearl River in Guangzhou. I nodded slowly and said: On this piece of land, build my manor. Is it okay to build our manor, the manor of the Jin family? Jin Yaohui suddenly hugged my waist, took me into his arms, and kissed me. The sun should be overhead, not the stars. However, what I saw was clearly Xiao Xing Wan Yue. Very strange. I found myself still in Jin Yaohui's arms. I asked: When did we come back to the hotel? It's been a while. I thought we were still on the prairie. You ran all day on the prairie, then lay down like this, and slept until dusk and sunset, and I brought you back. I haven't woken up? How unbelievable. For more than ten years, as long as there is a slight sound at night, I will wake up immediately, and then open my eyes and be more vigilant. However, today, it was different.As soon as my spirit was relaxed and I gave up everything, I fell asleep. If you don't wake up again, Jin Yaohui said, I will wake you up with a kiss. My face was hot, and the pores all over my body expanded. An inexplicable natural physical response made me ready to welcome another new life. am i ready After sleeping all day, you still have to wake up and face reality. Yaohui, why me? It was you long ago. I don't know. It's good to know now. We have to think very clearly.I said. Yes, I've been thinking about it for over ten years and I've made up my mind.And you? Jin Yaohui gently stroked my broken hair on the temples with his hands, they were always disobedient. have no idea. I don't know if you can love me?Jin Yaohui replied, I can wait until you think it over.The manor did not need to be built in a hurry, nor was Rome built in a day.only Jin Yaohui stopped talking suddenly, his face turned pale slightly. I asked: just what? If I can't wait, you have to promise me one thing. Why can't you wait? Accidents will happen. What do you want me to promise? Bury me on your estate. I hastily put my hand on his lips and said: Your words are scary. Jin Yaohui hurriedly said: I'm sorry, the intention was romantic, but it had the opposite effect. I couldn't help laughing. Yaohui said: Do you know, I noticed very early on that you look very beautiful when you smile, and I am most afraid of your tears, so no matter what happens, please don't cry. You can ask for a lot. I am a greedy man. Is there any other requirement? have. Speak!I have closed my eyes. One last request.He said. Um. Please answer me sincerely. good. If one day, you find that your elder brother has suffered a lot and made a lot of sacrifices to love you, how about you? I laughed and didn't speak. Why don't you answer me? I opened my eyes, a little startled.Jin Yaohui looked at me with an extremely nervous expression, which was too puzzling. Is the problem that serious? I said: Will Jin Xinhui endure the struggle for me?It's a joke. if true if true
