I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

The two chatted in Wu Yutai Teahouse for the whole afternoon. Jingyi even invited her to dinner before sending her back to the courtyard.

During this time, Jingyi also asked her indirectly about her inappropriate behavior. The answer given by Yushui completely left Jingyi speechless.

After Jia Dongxu died in 1961, Qin Huairu became a widow. On the surface, Sha Zhu listened to the old man and started to send lunch boxes to the Jia family. In fact, Sha Zhu had been thinking about Qin Huairu since she married into the courtyard. He showed his affection to her by sending lunch boxes every day!

From then on, the Jia family had good food and drink every day, but Yu Shui sometimes couldn't even eat steamed bread, and when he was very hungry, he could only drink cold water. Since her brother Sha Zhu didn't care about her and only wanted to help other families, she would help them!

Moreover, she knew from childhood that Qin Huairu was not the gentle and virtuous person she looked on the surface. Yu Shui told Jingyi a story from her childhood!

That year she was 13 years old and in the fifth grade, and the school was urging her to pay the tuition. She had asked her brother several times, but Sha Zhu always found excuses to delay.

That morning, when the brother and sister were having breakfast, Yu Shui begged his brother again. Sha Zhu couldn't delay any longer, so he put two dollars and fifty cents on the table and went out to work.

The rainwater was washing dishes in the public pool in the yard. She turned around and found that the six-year-old Banggeng appeared at the door of her house with a few coins in his hand.

When Yu Shui saw this, she thought, isn't this her tuition? She threw down her bowl and chopsticks and ran over. When Bang Geng saw Yu Shui coming, he ran along the corridor to the west wing.

Yu Shui went into the main room and saw that the two dollars and fifty cents on the dining table were missing. She quickly followed Bang Geng to the west wing.

Qin Huairu was pregnant with Xiaodang at the time. When Yu Shui ran over, she saw Qin Huairu taking the money from Banggeng's hand.

Yu Shui hurried forward to ask for it! But what did Qin Huairu say?

"Yushui, this money is not yours! I just took it out of my pocket when I was going to do laundry."

At that time, Yu Shui burst into tears! How could she explain to the teacher without the tuition?

The crying startled the aunties and grandmas in the courtyard, who all came to see what was going on. In front of everyone, Qin Huairu looked aggrieved.

"Yushui, this money is really not yours. Did you put it in the wrong place? Go back and look for it carefully."

Yu Shui sobbed and told the aunties and grandmas about what happened, hoping that they could help her get her tuition back.

But Qin Huairu's aggrieved look made everyone believe that Yu Shui had lost her tuition fees.

Yu Shui will never forget that scene. She cried so hard on the way to school that her clothes were soaked. She almost fainted! A teacher felt sorry for her and paid her tuition.

When she came home from school in the afternoon and ran into her brother Sha Zhu, she told him what happened in the morning and wanted him to help her go to Jia's house to ask for money. But she didn't expect that before Sha Zhu expressed his opinion, Qin Huairu came to her house first!

"Yushui, have you found the tuition? Banggeng really didn't take your money. Shazhu, do you believe your sister Qin? This money was really taken out by me when I was doing laundry."

Qin Huairu stepped forward and shook Sha Zhu's arm. The 23-year-old Sha Zhu's bones almost softened on the spot!

"Sister Qin, of course I believe you. The tuition must have been lost by that damn girl! This lunch box is my apology, Sister Qin, please bear with me." After saying that, Sha Zhu grabbed the lunch box on the table and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's hand. He took the opportunity to cover it with his own hand.

Yu Shui watched all this coldly, and she knew that she would have to rely on herself for everything in the future.

After listening to Yu Shui's story, Jing Yi was speechless! I didn't expect Bang Geng to have dirty hands and feet when he was six years old. Qin Huairu even helped to cover it up!

The two left their contact information. Jingyi asked her if she needed any help, and Yushui smiled and shook her head. Her life was very fulfilling and she was already very satisfied.

Jingyi took advantage of her going to the toilet to put two thousand yuan in her bag. This money was not hers, she was just using Li Huaide's money to offer to others.

Jingyi went to Xiaodang to find out what happened the first time she returned to Hong Kong. Let's see what kind of chicken soup for the soul those people had instilled in her after she returned home for a week.

"When I went back this time, I found that my family had changed a lot! Maybe they were really afraid of poverty before, but now that their lives are better, their mentality has also changed a lot." Xiaodang also explained for them.

"Have they made any conditions for you?" Jingyi asked her while curled up on the sofa with her hands on her knees in her nightgown.

"No, it's just that my mother asked me to go back to see them often." Xiaodang flatly denied that there were any conditions.

Jingyi didn't understand why the family let Xiaodang go so easily? Maybe they only used Xiaodang but didn't have any value to exploit? Their goal was always themselves.

There is nothing to think about. I am not Xiaodang.

Jingyi didn't dwell on this matter any more. She changed the subject and started to care about Xiaodang's marriage.

"We have already registered our marriage at the marriage registry in Hung Hom. We just need to pick a date and have a few tables for the wedding banquet."

Xiaodang only had Jingyi as a relative in Hong Kong, and Zhang Tao didn't have many relatives either. So the two of them just held a simple wedding banquet.

Jingyi stretched her legs and put on her slippers. She went upstairs and took out her things, and placed them on the coffee table in front of Xiaodang: a property certificate and a bunch of keys.

"This is my wedding gift to my sister. I will give her a gift money when we get married."

Xiao Dang took the property certificate and looked at it, then quickly shook his head and refused. "How can I take your house? It's too expensive!"

"I'm your biological sister! What's wrong with giving my biological sister Lou Jingyi a house for her wedding? A two-bedroom, one-living room house is not ostentatious, and it's well decorated, which will save you a lot of trouble."

Jingyi won't let her refuse! Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem for her. But it also depends on whether it is worth it!

She was already worth several hundred million dollars. She couldn't even count the money she had secretly. She could open a large museum with all the antiques and cultural relics in the station.

Xiaodang took some time to go and see the new house with Zhang Tao. It was perfect for a wedding house. They were both very satisfied! It was not far from Huangpu New Village where Zhang Tao's parents lived, just a dozen minutes away.

Xiao Dang moved from the Repulse Bay Villa to a new house, and Jingyi returned to the era of living alone. These days, she has been hiding in the space to organize the music scores. She has signed a contract with the Sijiucheng Audio and Video Publishing House, and she must record at least one album there every year.

Taiwan is now the main creator of Mandarin pop songs! There is no market for Mandarin songs in Hong Kong now.

In September, Jingyi received an invitation letter from her alma mater, Hong Kong Chinese University, inviting her to attend an alumni association.

She was invited to go around and was hired by her alma mater as a visiting professor of the music department. She took two music classes in her spare time and had no choice but to agree to her alma mater's request.

A few days later, Sister Lijun came back from the United States. When she saw her, she shouted, "I heard you released an album over there?"

"That is to say, re-record the Mandarin songs that were released before into an album." Jingyi replied to her disapprovingly.

"Hey! Do you know what my biggest wish is? I want to go back to my hometown to hold a concert and record and release an album."

Sister Lijun was full of envy! Due to some political reasons, the ban on her had not been lifted.

Jingyi couldn't help her realize this wish. She didn't know the specific reason, but it seemed that Sister Lijun was a member of a certain group!

"Oh, right! I want to recommend a singer to your company. He is very popular there, but unknown in Hong Kong. Your company can sign him to develop in the mainland."

Jingyi suddenly thought of Zhang Mingmin. His singing style was not suitable for Hong Kong, but after signing the contract, he could release an album in the mainland.

"Are you talking about the singer who performed with you on the mainland Spring Festival Gala? The Hong Kong music scene is too commercialized, and singers of his style don't bring much benefit to the company. But going to the mainland to develop is also an option. I can go to the company and ask." Sister Lijun agreed.

Now that the mainland has relaxed restrictions on pop music, countless singers want to enter the mainland music market. However, the mainland is also committed to cultivating its own local singers and is not very open to foreign singers.

Jingyi knew that she had benefited from the Spring Festival Gala, and Zhang Mingmin could also release an album based on his fame in the mainland. Other foreign singers should forget about it in the next one or two years!

In the next one or two years, a lot of local pop singers will emerge in the mainland, but their original songs cannot keep up, and they are all covers of songs from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and the United States.
