Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 234: Two Cannon Fodders in Domineering Literature 16

After the plane landed, Sirong and Muchen did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to the hospital to visit Su Qianxi.

When they arrived at the hospital and learned that Su Qianxi had collapsed from a mental breakdown, their worries grew even greater. Fortunately, the hospital was owned by Muchen's family, and the director personally arranged for Su Qianxi to rest in the ward next to her grandmother's.

The two of them arrived at the ward and saw Su Qianxi lying quietly on the bed, her face pale and still not awake. They couldn't wake her up directly, so they simply sat in the ward and waited quietly for her to wake up.

The ward was silent, with only the occasional soft sounds from medical equipment.

Muchen sat on a chair nearby and began to check the information sent by Xiao 5. Xiao 5 had already collected detailed information about Leng Yihan's grandmother and sent it to them.

According to the information, Leng Yihan's grandmother is named Old Lady Leng, and she is the most authoritative person in the Leng family.

The old man of the Leng family has passed away. Although Mrs. Leng is old, she is still strong and energetic. She lives in the Leng family mansion and rarely goes out, but she knows everything about family affairs.

Moreover, whenever the Leng Family Group has any major decisions to make, it also needs the old lady's approval.

The Leng family's rise to prominence began when Old Lady Leng married into the family. Her arrival not only changed the family's destiny but also laid the foundation for their future rise in the business world.

Mrs. Leng's maiden name was Li Guifang. The Li family was much better off than the Leng family at that time.

Li Guifang's father, Li Dashan, worked as a truck driver in a machinery factory, earning 38 yuan a month. In those days of scarcity and underdeveloped economy, this income was quite attractive, enough to support the family and even have some extra.

Old man Leng, Leng Hongjun, came from the countryside. He had many brothers and sisters, and he was the second child. He was not much valued by his parents at home.

Unwilling to spend his life working on the land, Leng Hongjun found work as a temporary porter at a machinery factory in the city. The work was hard and poorly paid, but Leng Hongjun knew it was his only chance to escape rural life and pursue a better future.

At that time, Li Guifang often went to deliver meals to her father, and the environment of the machinery factory inevitably brought her into contact with Leng Hongjun who worked in the factory.

Leng Hongjun is 1.85 meters tall and has a strong physique. His appearance also conforms to the aesthetic standards of that era. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, dark skin, and exudes a simple energy.

Although Li Guifang was plain-looking, she was very opinionated, quick-witted, and adaptable. The two of them fell in love after a few interactions.

Li Guifang's father, Li Dashan, did not agree with the marriage at first.

He felt that Leng Hongjun came from a rural background, had many brothers and sisters, and her parents did not value her, so it was impossible for her to provide any support to her youngest son.

Moreover, Leng Hongjun is currently only a temporary worker in a machinery factory. His job is precarious and he may be replaced at any time.

A temporary worker, whose household registration was still in the village, once the porter's job was taken over by someone else, the couple would have to return to the countryside to make a living. His daughter was attracted to Leng Hongjun's face, but good looks couldn't make a living, so what good was that?

Li Dashan sincerely hopes that his daughter can marry a working-class husband. At least he has a stable and secure job, and the amount of the bride price is not a problem. What is important is that he will have someone to rely on for life after marriage.

This idea was a mainstream view at the time, and few people were optimistic about temporary workers. The neighbors all thought that the girl from the Li family was blinded and was bewitched by Leng Hongjun's appearance.

Everyone was waiting to see how miserable Li Guifang would be when she had to go back to her parents' home to beg for money after she got married and had no food to eat.

At that time, the father and daughter of the Li family had a big quarrel over this matter.

Li Guifang's mother, Wang Xiuying, was caught between the two, feeling torn. She tried to mediate, but neither her husband nor her daughter would listen. She could only sigh helplessly, trying to persuade both sides, but neither would listen.

The argument lasted for a long time, but Li Dashan was ultimately unable to persuade his daughter. He knew that Li Guifang had always had her own opinions, and once she made a decision, no one could change it.

Children are a debt, and since she had chosen the path, there was nothing that could be done to stop her. But later, Li Guifang proved to her father and those snobbish neighbors and friends that her vision was not bad at all.

Although Leng Hongjun looks honest, he is a man of many ideas. It can be said that the marriage between Leng Hongjun and Li Guifang is the product of a strong union. The man is treacherous, and the woman is smart. They have calculated their future lives clearly.

Less than a year after their marriage, Leng Hongjun became Li Dashan's apprentice and began accompanying his father-in-law on long-distance trips to other places. Although the work was hard, the income was relatively stable, and it also allowed Leng Hongjun to accumulate a lot of connections and experience.

Leng Hongjun was not like his father-in-law, who just transported the goods to the destination and called it a day. Every time he arrived in a city, he would make a few good friends. On the way back, he would bring some local popular goods and give them to Li Guifang for resale when he got home.

If he was caught doing this at the time, it would be a crime that could be serious or minor, so Li Dashan never dared to do it, but Leng Hongjun did.

With the advent of reform and opening up, the economic situation has undergone tremendous changes. Factories began to lay off employees on a large scale, and a wave of layoffs swept across the country. Many workers lost their jobs and their lives fell into hardship.

However, Leng Hongjun and Li Guifang saw the situation clearly early on and decisively went out on their own, becoming the first people to take the plunge.

The couple built their business with a big truck, one driving and the other loading the goods.

If things had continued to develop in this way, then this would have been a template for an inspirational story with a heroine as the protagonist, but the Leng family's rise to wealth was not that simple.

It was a long time ago, and Xiao 5 could only find out this much. However, based on the intelligent computer's personality analysis of Li Guifang and Leng Hongjun, Old Lady Leng knew about all the illegal things done by the Leng family.

And their family's first pot of gold must have been spent with blood.

You have to know that car bandits were quite rampant back then. The Leng family's big car could ensure the safety of people and cars, so they had to take care of both the black and white worlds to get to where they are today.

Moreover, even if Mr. Leng and Mrs. Leng had not done these illegal things in the past, they must be aware of the business that the Leng family is doing now.

After Sirong and Muchen finished reading the information, they looked at each other and didn't say much.

They are still in the hospital, which is not a good place to discuss problems.

After a while, Su Qianxi slowly woke up and saw Sirong and Muchen sitting in her ward, her eyes full of surprise and gratitude. She wanted to sit up, but Sirong gently held her down.

"Don't move, you just fainted and need to rest well." Sirong said gently.
