Chapter 682: What a roundabout tactic

~8 min read 1,445 words

"Grandma, Grandpa, although my mother-in-law is surnamed Tong now, I still want to call you Grandma and Grandpa, because if it weren't for you, my mother-in-law might not have been here more than forty years ago. But now she suddenly has the surname Tong, making many people misunderstand..."

Xia Yue said logically: "Now, whether it's me or Cui Aiguo, we are being pointed at in the unit. As for the reason, I think Grandma and Grandpa can guess it."

"Now, only by letting my mother-in-law's biological parents restore their status as martyrs can those people shut up, because the children of martyrs absolutely cannot be rumored and slandered."

"..."

Li Zhongfa was silent, and Wu Juying also frowned. The words Xia Yue said were different from the crying and begging of the eldest aunt in the past.

She didn't mention family affection anymore, because Tong Mingyue had already proven that this path wouldn't work. So Xia Yue simply utilized the value of the dead to the maximum, wanting to make Li Zhongfa and Wu Juying feel indebted to the fallen comrades in their hearts.

But Li Ye, who was on the side, sneered at Xia Yue's words.

People are emotional animals. All psychological emotions will affect their expressions and eyes. So theoretically, as long as your observation is sharp enough, you can possess a super ability similar to "mind reading."

Of course, this is only theoretical. As long as an ordinary person can master a little emotional discrimination technique, they can become a "master"-level figure, circling among those wealthy and kind men and women.

Li Ye's observation was very sharp. Although he couldn't reach the level of mind reading, he had four or five levels of skill.

He only needed to observe carefully for a while to distinguish the other party's thoughts seven or eight out of ten, unless he was facing figures like Teacher Ke and Li Zhongfa, where the effect would be greatly reduced.

There was really no way. Teacher Ke's mind was deep, not showing joy or anger, and her emotional control ability didn't belong to the category of "ordinary people." And if Li Ye stared at his mother-in-law's eyes... wouldn't that be impolite?

As for Grandpa Li Zhongfa, Li Ye didn't feel it was impolite, but he had really observed him once before. But he only stared at Li Zhongfa for a few seconds, and Li Zhongfa noticed it, and his sharp eyes pierced over like a reflex.

At that time, Li Ye's feeling was like seeing a murderous bayonet.

Since then, Li Ye learned his lesson.

Not to mention the outstanding people like Teacher Ke who climbed up on people's heads, or the killers like Li Zhongfa who rolled in piles of dead people,

Li Ye maintained respect and awe for any figure who had made a name for themselves, and would never rely on his status as a transmigrator to think he could override all living beings.

It was just that Xia Yue was not among these figures.

Just now, Li Ye only stared at Xia Yue's eyes for a while and realized the resentment and indignation in her heart.

Although Xia Yue seemed righteous, she was holding on strongly. The power supporting her was likely that uneven resentment.

So Li Ye spoke to break the heaviness of the scene.

"Grandpa, why don't I help you write an application material? You contact the old troops and old comrades, let them all prove it, and then let the organization solve this problem!"

Li Zhongfa glanced at Li Ye sideways, obviously a bit displeased.

Although ordinary people can indeed be evaluated as martyrs, there are also strict evaluation standards. In that era, 21 million people died in the Middle Kingdom. You just said it lightly, and it was solved?

But seeing Li Ye's look, Li Zhongfa understood. Li Ye was "doing his best and knowing his destiny." We have already done what we can do. As for the result, it is not something an individual can control.

But after Xia Yue heard Li Ye's words, she immediately asked: "Then when will it be solved? My father-in-law has been removed from his position, Aiguo's deputy section level has been replaced by others, and my teaching work has been greatly affected. We really can't hold on for much longer!"

Li Ye said helplessly: "This is not something we can decide. If it really can't be solved, there's no way!"

Xia Yue turned to look at Li Ye, her emotions clearly more agitated: "What do you mean no way? Do you want us to endure other people's white eyes and ridicule?"

"I finally passed the university entrance exam and became a glorious people's teacher, but now even the students in the classroom laugh at me. I want to divorce but can't. Why should I endure all this..."

【Because you want to divorce!】

In this day and age, if you want to divorce, you have to go to the unit to open an introduction letter. This letter can't be opened for you casually, because if a divorce occurs in a unit, it will affect the "spiritual civilization outlook" of this unit. The political workers of the unit have to go to your home to do work for you.

Once this work is done, it will be known to everyone in the county, right?

There are only a few college students assigned to the whole county. Now two college students want to divorce. Can the melon-eating masses not be excited? Can they not pay attention?

When everyone looks at you, you will feel that everything around you is malicious ridicule.

"Little Xia, don't be agitated first."

Grandma Wu Juying poured a glass of water for Xia Yue and said: "Life is not smooth sailing in the first place."

"Idle gossip, if you take it seriously, it's a matter. If you don't take it seriously, it's nothing. As long as you do your own job well, other people's white eyes and ridicule are not a problem."

"..."

Wu Juying was right about this. In previous years, she herself had endured countless white eyes and ridicule.

But Xia Yue looked at Wu Juying, and tears slowly flowed down.

"I really can't take it anymore. But if I had any way, I wouldn't... beg for help. My work was fine, but suddenly so many changes happened. How can you let me not take it seriously?"

"Grandma, tell my mother-in-law and let her agree to let me and Cui Aiguo divorce!"

"..."

Wu Juying sighed and said helplessly: "I can't persuade her about this matter. Even if I persuade her, she won't agree."

She didn't want to see Tong Mingyue at all now, let alone persuade her to agree to her son's divorce.

Isn't this taking a big slap and slapping people in the face?

Even driving a Land Rover won't work!

Xia Yue heard Wu Juying refuse her request, so she reached out and wiped the tears from her face, and said as a matter of course: "Then I can only go abroad to study. When I return after completing my studies, it will be another identity. I can support the Cui family's door and resist all ridicule and irony."

"..."

Wu Juying was stunned, and Li Zhongfa's brows frowned even tighter.

Then, both of them slowly shook their heads.

If Xia Yue insisted on adding the status for Tong Mingyue's parents, Wu Juying and Li Zhongfa would really feel guilty in their hearts. Both old people were people with bottom lines and couldn't do things like turning their faces and being heartless.

But now, after going around and around, are they still walking on the old path?

You played a good roundabout tactic!

A few months ago, Tong Mingyue demanded that Li Zhongfa send Cui Aiguo and Xia Yue abroad, even saying that Cui Zhixian and Tong Mingyue would be picked up to settle overseas later.

This kind of crazy idea of moving the whole family out, but Li Zhongfa didn't agree. How could he agree now?

However, Xia Yue continued: "Aiguo and I have already been admitted to Minbayeji University in Britain. Now we are only short of eighteen thousand pounds in tuition..."

"Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry. After we go there, we can work and study. At most, we will pay you back with interest in one year. I guarantee I will pay you back."

"..."

Li Ye tried his best not to laugh out loud.

【You are probably unaware of how black-hearted the capitalists in Britain are, right? And pay it back with interest in one year? Even the locals don't have such high wages, okay?】
