Chapter 119: Start of Melon Seeds Business

　　Before the National Day holiday, Teacher Zhao's investigation results came out. In the ten years that she has been teaching at the school, there would be at least two students in every class she taught who paid to be admitted to college.

　　In addition to spending money, there are many other benefits. According to the amount investigated by the inspection team and the public security, there is 2,000 in cash alone, and the other things are worth about 1,000 yuan after discount.

　　Faced with the ironclad evidence, Zhao Yaqing confessed to her bribery. The county education bureau was furious and convened a meeting of all the county's teachers. At the meeting, the county bureau leaders criticized the behavior.

　　At the same time, the news spread outside, and the parents of students in the class that Zhao Yaqing had taught also learned about this matter. Among them, the parents of several students who had good academic performance and had the hope of entering technical secondary school but were rejected specifically found Zhao Yaqing's home in the staff quarters and smashed her belongings to pieces. Liu Shiyong was also beaten by the angry parents.

　　As Liu Jing was Zhao Yaqing's child, her original friends ignored her. Xu Manqiu, who was her good friend, also gradually distanced himself from her.

　　Intellectually, Xu Manqiu knew that this had nothing to do with Liu Jing and that the crime was committed by Zhao Yaqing, but emotionally she could not accept it.

　　Among those students who were squeezed out by Zhao Yaqing, many had rural household registration, and studying and becoming technical secondary school students was an opportunity for them to change their destiny.

　　Some people who failed to get into technical secondary schools returned home to farm because their families were poor and could no longer afford to support a student to repeat a year.

　　Xu Manqiu knew how painful it was to want to study but not be able to, and she could not be as close to Liu Jing as before.

　　Teacher Zhao had been fired by the Education Bureau, and Mrs. Li and Liu Shiyong were kicked out of the family compound. On the day they were kicked out, the mother and son carried the few remaining luggage they had and left in a daze.

　　How could they not be confused? For the past ten years, they have been relying on Zhao Yaqing for their livelihood. After living like city dwellers in the county town for more than ten years, they have never thought about going back to the countryside to farm.

　　Liu Shiyong, in particular, didn't care about the people watching the fun. He angrily shouted at Mrs. Li: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't taken money from those students, Yaqing wouldn't have done such a thing."

　　It was at this time that the onlookers realized that the reason why Zhao Yaqing took money from those students was because of the matter of Old Lady Li.

　　Ever since Mrs. Li moved to the city, she always held her chin high in front of her sisters-in-law in the countryside. Now that she was driven back in such a humiliating way, she didn't know how to face the ridicule of her sisters.

　　Hearing this, she immediately retorted: "Bullshit, was it me who collected other people's money first? Wasn't it you who got the clues when you went out to play chess? What's the matter? Now that something has happened, you're blaming it on your mother?"

　　"Liu Shiyong, I really didn't expect you to be so heartless! I've been planning for you everywhere, so why are you trying to cheat me? Do you think everyone is a fool? Zhao Yaqing hates me as her mother-in-law so much, if you hadn't whispered in her ear, would she have agreed?"

　　"And you collected all the money!"

　　Mrs. Li is old and cunning. She saw it all. There were several people in the crowd who came to see the fun. They were the ones who came to smash her house a few days ago! If she doesn't clear up this matter, she won't be able to live a good life in her old age!

　　Anyway, Liu Shiyong is still young and he can bear it.

　　In the face of interests, the mother and son, who had always been close, broke up completely, but soon reconciled.

　　After they returned to the countryside, they were not welcomed by his brother. Both Liu Shiyong and Old Lady Li were driven out.

　　Liu Shiyong's younger brother still feels that Liu Shiyong drove him out and that Old Lady Li complained all day long after she brought them back.

　　In the past, they were able to be on good terms with Liu Shiyong because Zhao Yaqing had not fallen yet and was still a teacher. By coaxing Liu Shiyong, they could also gain some benefits.

　　Now they don't want to coax them anymore, and they're not willing to serve them anymore.

　　The mother and son had no choice but to move back into the old house that was about to collapse and had not been lived in for many years.

　　The two of them were patriarchal and Liu Jing was forgotten by them.

　　It was Liu Jing's sister Liu Ling who hurried over and took her away.

　　The sisters Liu Ling and Liu Jing live in a family that favors boys over girls. Zhao Yaqing's possessiveness of Liu Shiyong has reached a perverted level. When they were young, Zhao Yaqing may have had some maternal love for them, but as they grew up, Zhao Yaqing began to become hostile to them.

　　Liu Ling moved out after she started working, and she rarely goes home after she got married.

　　Liu Jing is now repeating Liu Ling's old path at home. She is like a transparent person at home and dares not say a word. Even so, she is always beaten and scolded by Zhao Yaqing.

　　The words she was scolded were particularly harsh, and Liu Jing hid and cried many times. Liu Ling was particularly compassionate to her younger sister, and would find opportunities to see her even if she didn't go home. The two sisters had a very good relationship.

　　Her in-laws were all kind-hearted and treated Liu Jing quite well. They didn't say anything when Liu Ling paid for Liu Jing to go to school. Liu Jing didn't suffer any grievances while living in their family.

　　This is somewhat of a comfort to Jiang Youtao.

　　Jiang Youtao was in a bad mood and told Xu Manqiu that this matter did not infringe upon the interests of one person, but the interests of many people.

　　The lives of those students who were squeezed out by Zhao Yaqing's secret manipulation were ruined by her.

　　Just one teacher, a small teacher can do these operations. She may not be very good at teaching, but she is gifted in doing this kind of thing.

　　The names on the test papers were sealed, and students who paid her money to be admitted would make a mark on the test papers. As the students' class teacher, Zhao Yaqing would check the academic performance of the students in her class after the teachers finished marking the papers.

　　When she looked through the students' grades, she changed them. She had been changing the grades since the time when the students took their exams, so no one had ever suspected anything over the years. After all, who would have thought of something so outrageous?

　　Jiang Youtao thought about it carefully and concluded that the reason why Zhao Yaqing was able to do this was partly because she was really brave, and partly because people of this era did not attach importance to education.

　　If the school had taken this matter more seriously and sealed up the test papers so that no one could have access to them, then even if Zhao Yaqing wanted to change them, he would not have been able to do so. Such tragedies would not have happened again.

　　On the National Day holiday, Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei went to clean the rented house in advance.

　　Jiang Youtao gave the melon-eating system enough melon coins. During this period, the melon-eating system had carried out simple renovations on the house. A shed was built in the yard, and two large stoves and two huge pots were built against the wall.

　　Just as the sun was setting, Fu Shaohua came with Xu Dazui and others. They borrowed a tractor from the commune, which was loaded with bags of sunflower seeds.

　　After weighing them in the house, Jiang Youtao bought the sunflower seeds at the price of 0.12 cents per pound.

　　She didn't waste time and gave the money in front of Liu Manzhu and the accountant. The accountant carefully counted the money over and over again, wrapped it in layer after layer of newspapers and put it into a leather briefcase.

　　The two men left with the tractor driver of the commune with a smile on their faces. They had borrowed the tractor driver's car privately, and they were all from the same village. If they gave him two packs of good cigarettes and two packs of snacks, the tractor driver would happily drive for them.

　　The tractor driver's wife was related to their village, and there were a lot of sunflower seeds in their village. He also hoped that Liu Manzhu would talk to Jiang Youtao and collect the sunflower seeds from their village. So Liu Manzhu was not worried about safety at all.

　　Jiang Youtao clapped her hands towards the shed that was filled with things and said, "Come on, come on, let's get to work."

　　Gu Nianwei and Xu Manqiu started to work, while Fu Shaohua was dumbfounded as he looked at the two huge pots.

　　He thought that the fried melon seeds were made in the cafeteria's big pot with at most 100 to 200 kilograms of melon seeds. Now this pot is too big, it can only hold ten of them! And these melon seeds, this must be at least 2,000 kilograms!

　　Jiang Youtao looked back at him: "What are you looking at? Get moving! We have to get to work!"

　　Fu Shaohua rolled up his sleeves. Being a real man, he kept his word. Since he had said it, no one should interfere.

　　All these open-top melon seeds belong to him!

　　He gets angry with anyone who interferes.
