Chapter 1012 - 811: Prelude
At the exhibition, Ye Qing knew, back at the port, she had seen some being held and had attended twice. They sold inventory clearance from various factories, a loophole opened in the market economy’s early policy changes. It broke the ’ration supply system’ by inviting consumers to visit and choose products, balancing surpluses and shortages. From the Foreign Trade Bureau to the Grain Bureau, from semiconductor radios to grains, covering aspects like clothing exhibitions, furniture shows, children’s products, and more.
Mei Langchi organized this, collecting venue fees, but he not only collected venue fees but also collaborated with a bicycle radio manufacturer. He bought goods himself to sell and earn the price difference.
Not only that, but those shoes from her factory were also disposed of by him at the exhibition.
Mei Langchi certainly didn’t give her the cost for the goods from her factory. This was simply a no-cost business, all profit.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing felt a fire of rage simmering inside her, not expecting Mei Langchi to have secretly done so much recently.
Afraid that Mei Langchi would return to discover something, she did not mess with the things inside but carefully rummaged through them without leaving a trace.
She managed to find Mei Langchi’s bankbook and a large amount of cash.
The bankbook surprisingly had deposits of over a hundred thousand. The cash scattered outside was also several tens of thousands. That one exhibition had earned so much, no wonder there were always people holding various exhibitions these past two years.
Ye Qing couldn’t understand, given that Mei Langchi had so much money, why he still borrowed from family. Using her money, she could understand, he was retaliating against her. But why take family money?
Ye Qing couldn’t figure it out, but she couldn’t just let him take so much of her money for nothing.
Ye Qing thought for a moment and stuffed all that cash into her own pocket. Mei Langchi would never suspect that she was the one who took the money.
He was allowed to secretly take her money, so he couldn’t blame her for secretly taking his. This money wasn’t nearly enough to make up for what Mei Langchi took from her.
She thought of taking his bankbook, but those stubs had security codes. Even if she took it, she couldn’t withdraw the money.
This time, Mei Langchi got lucky. After organizing the money, Ye Qing was about to leave when she was drawn to a name tucked in a corner.
Because she was very familiar with that name, it was Lin Wan.
Ye Qing frowned; normally, Mei Langchi wouldn’t even spare Lin Wan a second glance. Even if he didn’t like it, he’d only go against Han Yi. Ye Qing was curious why Lin Wan’s name was on the paper.
So she carefully took it out for a look, and that look astonished Ye Qing’s eyes.
Unexpectedly, such an idea existed in Mei Langchi’s mind; this time, it was so vicious. This was a hundred times more vicious and not just vicious, the key was how cunning it was.
What he was doing was simply killing two birds with one stone, perfectly perfect. Ye Qing read the plan, broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly put things back in place, and left the room in a panic, placing the key back in its original spot. She checked several times and found no obvious signs before climbing over the wall from the back door.
After returning the neighbor’s ladder, she hurried home.
After getting home, Ye Qing quickly hid the money; this time, she had to hide it somewhere that Mei Langchi couldn’t find even in his dreams.
After hiding the money, Ye Qing lay on the bed, her head full of Mei Langchi’s plan.
According to the timeline, it should only be a few days left. What should she do? She couldn’t just die like this; she had to plan carefully.
Yes, she had to plan carefully.
Ye Qing lay on her bed thinking for a long time, even skipping lunch.
When Mei Langchi returned, it was already past seven in the evening, and Ye Qing was still half-asleep.
Mei Langchi frowned but had no intention of waking her up for dinner.
Ye Qing was secretly relieved that Mei Langchi hadn’t immediately noticed his money was missing. She still had time.
Ye Qing thought about this matter for a long time, the crux of it was not knowing Mei Langchi’s specific timing, all the way until the fifth day.
The old man asked them to come back for dinner.
...
"Did they check? Did they say if it’s a boy or a girl?" As soon as Ye Qing and Mei Langchi stepped into the house, they heard Old Mrs. Mei holding Lin Wan’s hand, kindly asking about the child in her womb.
"The doctor didn’t say, just mentioned the hands and feet are quite big."
"Big hands and feet are good, only boys have big hands and feet. Looks like our Mei family is about to have another little master." Old Mrs. Mei, upon hearing this, happily held Lin Wan’s hand and couldn’t stop praising.
