Chapter 59: Sister's Trouble
After dinner, Teng Qing and Gao Kesin were alone for a while, both of whom had drunk some wine, their faces turned crimson. Looking at Gao Kesin who was as slender as a young girl, Teng Qing smiled and said: "Kesin, how's your relationship with Wu Dong? Why haven't we heard about your wedding date yet?"
As soon as Teng Qing asked about this matter, Gao Kesin furrowed his brow and said: "Director Teng, thank you for your concern, I don't want to get married yet now, Wu Dong also thinks the same way!"
Tong Qing felt that something was amiss, so he smiled and asked, "Ke Xin, is there something going on between you and Wu Dong? Although you call me Director, I feel like I'm your sister. Do you need my help?"
Ting Qing is married, but not very old. She and Gao Yu Sheng are colleagues, but if we talk about the relationship between Gao Yu Sheng and her father, it's extremely close. After coming to Donglin County to work, she became closer to Gao Yu Sheng, and her connection with Gao Ke Xin is also very tight, like sisters.
Gao Kesin heard the further concerned words of Teng Qing, she didn't know how to respond, if she said that her relationship with Wu Dong was indeed problematic. Wu Dong is the son of County People's Congress Director Wu Cunhai and also Zhang Ming Shun's secretary, in terms of power and status he matches her well, but she has never been very satisfied with this marriage, on the surface Wu Dong is honest and reliable, but secretly his behavior is rather dissolute. She is now somewhat fed up with Wu Dong, so coming to work at Cao Ling Zi Township also had the meaning of avoiding him.
But she didn't want to say these words to outsiders, and when Tōsei asked her, she didn't want to tell her either. She wanted to handle this problem by herself, so she just smiled wryly and said: "Director Fuji, nothing's wrong, if there's anything that needs your help, I'll definitely tell you!"
Ting Qing smiled and said, "It's okay if nothing happened. I've also met Wu Dong a few times, and I feel that he's quite arrogant. This kind of personality is very unfavorable in the official circle. The one who is more suitable for development in the official circle is actually Ye Pingyu, calm, quiet, and humble. Of course, this has something to do with family, but family is just a factor. The key is still the individual's personality. Between you and Wu Dong, I think your personalities don't quite match. This is sister's private words, if there's really something between you two, it's better to end it early!"
As someone who has been through it, Tong Qing still has a very accurate view of this kind of thing between men and women. Gao Ke Xin was taken aback by her words and wanted to quickly settle the matter, so he hastily asked: "Director Tong, then what should I do?"
As soon as she asked this, Teng Qing smiled secretly and said: "Women are most important to have insight. Either choose a man who is honest and listens to his own words, or choose a man who can do things steadily and reliably. I think Wu Dong doesn't possess either of these qualities. Although he's the son of Wu Cunhai, relying solely on his father is useless. The more you rely on him, the harder it'll be for you to become independent in the end. Since that's the case, don't sacrifice your lifelong happiness for the sake of your parents' relationship. My dad also worried about my marriage back then, but I still insisted on my own opinion. Once you're certain about something, you must stick to it and not hesitate, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"
Ting Qing is still a very capable woman, her current husband is a man who listens to her and works in a local unit. With experience in this area, she began to teach Gao Ke Xin.
Gao Kesin bit her lip, feeling that this was a matter that required courage to decide. What Tong Qing said was right, if a woman's judgment of men was wrong, it would be a fatal mistake, so she needed to make a decision urgently now.
Looking at Gao Kesin's hesitant appearance, Teng Qing squeezed his eyes and smiled: "If you don't make a decision, there will be trouble later. From the perspective of choosing a man, this Ye Pingyu is not bad..."
"Director Tong...... Your words......" Gao Kesin's face turned red, and he didn't finish what he was going to say.
Tong Qing smiled and stopped talking, Gao Ke Xin's heart was jumping like a little rabbit, Tong Qing's words were too unexpected for her, how did she think of mentioning Ye Ping Yu.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then Qing Cong bid farewell to Cao Da Fu and the others. Cao Da Fu escorted her out for a long distance before returning. After he came back, Gao Ke Xin couldn't help but stare blankly at Ye Ping Yu's busy figure, and a ripple arose in his heart.
Ye Pingyu returned home and told his grandfather about going to the capital, but Ye Bingyi was not very willing to go. He was an old man with a weak body, why would he want to travel far? Just then, Ye Cunli arrived from outside and heard about going to the capital. He said with great joy: "Father, you must go! Not only you, our whole family should go! They came all the way to see you, now it's your turn to return the visit. Can't you just put aside your pride and be willing to go?"
Although Ye Cunli usually doesn't speak to the point, he has said something that Ye Pingyu can't say and dares not say. Ye Pingyu didn't refute him for a moment, but instead looked at Grandfather's response.
This remark really hit Ye Bingyi's weak spot, he couldn't help but raise his head and give Ye Bingyi a glance, wanting to get angry but having no way to get angry said: "I'm going anyway, I won't let you go, I'll go with Ping Yu!"
Ye Pingyu excitedly said: "Grandpa, you promised to go?"
Yè Bǐngyì had no choice but to agree, and Yè Cúnlì said on the side: "You're an old man now, if I don't take care of you, can Píngyǔ do it? Píngyǔ's mom isn't going, we three will go together!"
"You go, I won't go, it's fine with just Pingyu taking care of me!" Ye Bingyi didn't want Ye Cunli to follow.
At the sight of his own father being hostile to him all day, not taking him on a good trip to Beijing, Ye Cunli pulled down his face and said: "If you don't let your son go, I won't let my son go. You go by yourself, see what you mean!"
He didn't expect him to say that, Ye Pingyu was also happy in his heart, and after taking a look at his grandfather, he said: "Grandpa, why don't you let my dad go? As long as he doesn't talk nonsense, it's okay!"
Ye Cunli immediately said: "I'll just be a mute when I get there and keep my mouth shut."
After taking a look at Liu Zheyu and his father, Ye Bingyi let out a sigh and said: "Alright then, from now on everything will be arranged by Pingyu, don't say anything rash!"
This was said to Ye Cunli, and Ye Cunli happily agreed. Ye Pingyu finally settled the matter and prepared to ask Cao Dafu for leave to go to Beijing.
But before he could leave, his sister Ye Jing suddenly called him to tell him that Ye Ming was in trouble. Ye Pingyu thought what kind of trouble Ye Ming could get into, and the result was that Ye Jing told him that because of the son of the deputy director of the Health Bureau, he had someone beat him up. As a result of his subordinates being a bit too heavy-handed, they injured the son of the deputy director of the Health Bureau. The public security bureau caught the people who did the beating and then gave away Ye Ming's involvement. Now they are looking everywhere for Ye Ming!
I didn't expect things to turn out like this, Ye Pingyu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Ye Ming was too righteous, he just needed to take care of his sister and that's it, why did he have to go and hurt someone? To say the least, that kid deserved a beating, but there was no need to hurt him!
After listening to his sister's words, Ye Pingyu was at a loss for what to do for the time being and didn't know where Ye Ming had escaped to. He owed Ye Ming one favor now.
After finishing this, Ye Pingyu asked about his sister's current situation and whether she was involved. She said that the public security personnel had questioned her, but she really didn't know what was going on, so they didn't bother her again. Instead, they let her know about Ye Ming's situation. However, the hospital's attitude towards her changed dramatically, and it seemed like they were going to suspend her job.
As soon as Ye Pingyu heard that the hospital was going to suspend his sister's job, he became indignant. Although the fight involved his sister, it wasn't her who had instigated it. The public security personnel hadn't even taken his sister into consideration for this matter, so why did the hospital have to suspend his sister's job?
This must have something to do with the County Health Bureau. After hanging up the phone, Ye Pingyu was thinking about what to do next. His sister had finally been assigned to work at the county hospital, and if she were to be suspended or even fired because of this, all her years of study would have been for nothing.
My family is not wealthy, it's not easy to get into school and work, I didn't expect that because of the object of conversation, things would end up like this now, it's really tough being a child from a powerless and influential family.
Fortunately, he now has a certain status in the countryside, although it is not under the jurisdiction of the county, but also has a certain relationship to utilize.
Who should he ask for help now? Cao Dafu? Cao Dafu is not a county leader, and his relationship with the county health bureau is not very good. Although some misunderstandings have been eliminated, it's definitely not feasible to come and do this now.
If you can't find Cao Daifu, then the only option is to go and look for the county leaders. The county leaders have had dinner with Zhang Mingshun before, and when Zhang Mingshun sees him, he's still very polite. But now Zhang Mingshun is the county magistrate, his official position is quite high, is it suitable to go find him about this matter?
Ye Pingyu was hesitant, going straight to him wouldn't be easy to bring up the matter. After thinking for half a day, he finally adopted a compromise approach, not looking for someone as high-ranking as Zhang Mingshun, but also couldn't find someone with too small of a connection. Although Xiao Jianzhong worked in the county committee office and might know the head of the county health bureau, if he were to handle this matter, it would likely be ineffective, lacking sufficient influence.
After some thought, Ye Pingyu finally decided to ask for help from Tong Qing, who was in charge of the county health bureau. Tong Qing had the power to suggest appointments and adjustments to the members of the county health bureau, and the leaders of the county health bureau did not dare to ignore her words. Tong Qing also seemed like a kind-hearted person, and it was possible to find her through Gao Kesin and solve this matter by talking to her about it.
Having made up his mind, Ye Pingyu went to find Gao Kesin first. Recently, Gao Kesin had been in contact with him more often, and there was trust between them. This matter also concerned his sister, so Gao Kesin wouldn't blame him for being nosy. It was only natural that he believed she wouldn't refuse his request.
