The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Chapter 79 - "'Green' as in giving someone a green hat." (2)

Now that the good front was gone, Tong Xuelu no longer bothered with pretending. “I’ve already sold my dad’s position and I will be taking over my mom’s one myself. I will give you half the amount that I sold the position for and don’t even bother thinking about the rest.”

Jie Jinhua jumped up and down in anger. “You )#*()@*, I am going to report you to the union!”Tong Xuelu’s lips curved. “Exactly what would you like to tell them? That I committed perjury or that I had accused a military personnel? Or that I behaved like a capitalist and had meat every day?”The Tong family, “……”All of them were like chickens with their necks pinched and none of them could make a word for a long time.Tong Xuelu, “If I were you, I’d take the money and leave the capital city. Don’t wait until there is nothing left and then regret it.”Having said that, she turned and left, not caring how the Tongs looked.Of course Tong Xuelu didn’t want to give the Tong family any money from her selling the position at the plant. Nevertheless, she didn’t want to leave behind any open ends.Those from the old village would, for certain, report her to the union if she didn’t give them a penny.Besides, even a rabbit, when backed into a corner, would bite. She didn’t want to back those from the old village into a corner and make them want to take her down with them.She only wanted to send them away as quickly as possible and deter them from coming to the capital city in the future.The members of the Tong family only recollected themselves after Tong Xuelu had disappeared from the backyard. All of them were so angry that their noses were crooked.All sorts of profanity flew in the air.Nevertheless, none of them dare to go and confront Tong Xuelu.In their eyes right now, Tong Xuelu was worse than the devil. Anyone who offended her would end up at the farm.The next day, those from the old village returned to Beihe, defeated.She mustn’t give up right now.Under the looks that wanted to tear her into pieces, Tong Xuelu longingly went to the train stations with those from the old village and watched them get onto the train longingly.Her smile only lightened after the train had departed.Right when she was thinking about how to celebrate after sending the tools away, she heard a strong baritone––“Excuse me, are you Wen Rugui’s girlfriend?”Tong Xuelu: ? ? ?What the heck?Since when did she become Wen Rugui’s girlfriend?Tong Xuelu turned around and saw a tall man standing in front of her.The man had prominent features, was tall, and was around 30 or so in age.She paused a little and recalled that she had seen this man before at the police station the other day, except that he was in police uniform then but was in casual clothes today.None of those was the main point here. The main point here was how did he know her?And why did he say that she was Wen Rugui’s girlfriend?Tong Xuelu studied Pu Jianyi and Pu Jianyi, too, was studying her.She was stunning from just that one look the other day. Now that she was standing right in front of him, she was breathtaking.Her skin was fair and fine, and she was glowing under the sun. Her eyes were foggy and golden sparkles of lights danced in them, making everything else around lose their lights.Pu Jianyi said, “I am a friend of Wen Rugui’s. My name is Pu Jianyi. ‘Pu’ as in simple, ‘jian’ as in construct, and ‘yi’ as in reliable. We met the other day outside of the police station. I am not sure if you still remember.”She did have an impression of him.But he still hadn’t shared with her his motive. Plus, she did not think that someone nonchalant like Wen Rugui would make up crazy talk that she was his girlfriend.Her red lips curved, and her two dimples could be seen. “Hi, my name is Tong Xuelu. ‘Tong’ as in winter with the ‘man’ character on the side, ‘xue’ as in it is snowing, and ‘lu’ is green as in making someone wear a green hat.”*Pu Jianyi, “……”___Translator's notes:When you “make someone wear a green hat” = you have cheated them. i.e. A wife who had cheated on her husband = “made him wear a green hat”.
