Chapter 25 The Gloomy Little Poor Girl of the 1970s

Does a municipal state-owned garment factory really need a huge sum of 5 million yuan to be saved? Actually, no. Money was extremely valuable in this era. A few cents or dimes could fill your stomach, and a family didn't need 100 yuan a month.

Even taking over this garment factory would only cost 500,000 yuan, and reforming the garment factory would be more than 1 million yuan. But Zhou Huai is such a discerning person that he asked for 5 million yuan, successfully helping Shen Ci refresh the rewards.

When Zhou Huai took Zhou Zheng to the bank to withdraw money, the bank manager took them directly into the VIP room. Boxes of money were packed into several boxes and delivered directly to the car. The bank also sent two employees to escort them away.

People don't seek out trouble, but trouble comes looking for them.

Zhou Huai was always shuttling between the school and the factory. He put his heart and soul into the factory, rather than treating it as a task. He was very busy, going back and forth between the two places every day. But on this day, something happened to him.

Shen Ci received the call from Teacher Liu at home. Teacher Liu sounded very anxious on the phone.

"Ms. Shen! This is terrible!"

A man claiming to be Zhou Huai's father came to the school, insisting that Zhou Huai worked in a factory and demanding that Zhou Huai take his wages home. It's unclear whether he was an imposter...

After hanging up the phone, Shen Ci rushed to the school. A large crowd had already gathered at the school gate, and from afar she could see Zhou Huai standing out from the crowd.

There was no way around it; my son was too dazzling, and I recognized him at a glance.

Now that the family's assets have reached a new level, it's time to break free from these old shackles for Zhou Huai. Let go of all the unbearable and humiliating past, and he will have a bright future.

At the school gate, Zhou Huai coldly watched the two people putting on a show in front of him, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

This person is his so-called biological father, who is connected to him by blood and should be the closest person in the world. However, he is always thinking about dragging him into the mire. Other parents hope that their children can get better and better, but his father is afraid that he will leave the mountains.

"Zhou Huai, I am your father!"

I heard you've been working in a garment factory lately? Quite a few people in the village saw you, so don't deny it.

Have you received your salary? Give me your salary; you still have your younger siblings and grandparents to support!

Since you're going to school, let your younger brother have this job. That way, you can focus on your studies, and the family won't have to rely on you anymore.

The younger brother Zhou Dayou mentioned was Zhou Huai's stepmother's child, only a few years younger than Zhou Huai. He dropped out of school before graduating from junior high and spent his days wandering between the city and the village. Sometimes he wouldn't come home for several days at a time, so he was basically an unemployed bum.

"I don't."

Zhou Huai refused, saying that regardless of whether he had or not, he would never submit to the Zhou family again. He no longer needed to rely on the Zhou family for a living. He had finally climbed out of this quagmire, and someone had finally given him a hand. He would never go back.

"Hey!

You still dare to defy me? You're my father!

"Where's the teacher? I want to withdraw my son from school. We don't have money, we're poor, we're not going to let him continue his studies!"

He knew that Zhou Huai cared most about whether he could study, so he struck at the snake's vital point.

"My God, is this really Zhou Huai's father?"

"No way, this is definitely a scam. Zhou Huai's mother is so young and beautiful, how could she be interested in such an ugly woman with yellow teeth?"

“Zhou Huai’s family is so rich. Everyone saw that car last time, right? How could that be his father?”

The father and son looked completely different; one resembled a celestial prince, while the other looked like a human. They couldn't possibly be father and son.

The familiar car sounds, the familiar sound of heels clicking on the ground—Shen Ci arrived, carrying a black, diamond-encrusted limited-edition handbag. When it comes to enjoying life...

"Zhou Huai, your mother is here."

Someone said, and Zhou Huai looked over. Shen Ci came walking on light. Zhou Dayou and his wife were a little scared. What was going on? The last time they saw her in the village, she was riding a bicycle. How come she was driving a car this time? Just how wealthy is Shen Ci? How rich is the man she married?

Yes, they still firmly believe that Shen Ci's success is due to her remarriage and being with a rich man. Not only that, they also spread rumors about Shen Ci in the village, saying that she married a decrepit old man and became someone else's mistress.

When they have no way to hurt her, they can only talk nonsense and spread rumors that the person involved doesn't know anything about, just to vent their frustrations.

"Is this how the school gatekeepers open the gate? They let just anyone in, what if it disturbs the students' studies?"

It seems there are some serious security issues at No. 1 High School.

She came over, protecting Zhou Huai and standing in front of him.

“Zhou Huai’s father died a long time ago. I don’t know who you are, but you dare to impersonate someone and disrupt the school’s order. I have already called the police, and they will be here to arrest you soon.”

"Xiao Huai, let's go. Mom has already asked for leave for you. We'll come back to school when the school's safety situation improves."

Shen Ci led Zhou Huai into the car. The stubborn and aloof young man did not object, but obediently followed her away.

If she hadn't come, Zhou Huai thought he would make sure they suffered, even if it meant certain death.

But then Mom came.

After the parties involved left the scene, only a commotion remained. Zhou Dayou and his wife were completely dumbfounded. It wasn't that they were slow to react, but rather that Shen Ci's appearances were more and more stunning than ever before, and her aura was more and more powerful each time she appeared.

Before they could even speak, they already felt inferior. By the time they came to their senses, Shen Ci had already left with her son.

"How dare you impersonate students' parents! Get out of here right now!"

Don't let the real students' parents think that the order at our No. 1 Middle School is so bad. Let's go, let's leave this place!

"If you don't leave, we'll call the police to come and get you!"

The gatekeeper was startled by an urgent telegram from the principal's office. He grabbed a pitchfork and started chasing people away. He was old and had misjudged the situation. He really thought they were students' parents. Little did he know that the real parents had come to expose the fraud!

That's true. A top-scoring student like him, who wouldn't want to pretend to be his father? That student was so outstanding, the whole school knew about it, could he possibly have such a useless father?

Like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole. It's no surprise that Zhou Huai's parents must be exceptional people.

The damage and negative impact caused by Zhou Dayou had zero effect.

Inside the car.

"Although I have told the school that I will not let people in casually in the future, what are your thoughts on the saying 'a thief can be caught for a thousand days, but not guarded against for a thousand days'?"

Perhaps you've considered changing your surname, transferring your household registration to my address, and taking my surname.
