Chapter 102 My Boyfriend is Pretty Good-Looking
"Sister, go report to the textile factory. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, go to Zhu Man in the finance department. She will help you."
"Who? Shen Zhiqing, who are you talking about?"
Zhou Li's eyes widened instantly. Wasn't Zhu Man previously with Qiao Nianyu? Why was she helping Sister Yuming now?
"Okay, I'll listen to Zhuzhu."
Shen Yuming didn't care about what happened before, but since Shen Yuzhu had said so, she had to agree. Her sister was even begging people she used to be at odds with for her sake.
If she continues to refuse, wouldn't that make her sister uneasy?
Zeng Hu frowned. Why did that name sound so familiar? "Oh my, this Zhu Man you're talking about, isn't she Wu Chen's girlfriend?"
"What? Zhu Man and Officer Wu are dating?"
"Hey, I heard people talking about me when I was standing at the door. What's up? Missing me?"
Wu Chen walked in with a smile, carrying a bag of pastries and two cans of food. Ya Ya hadn't seen him in a long time, so she immediately ran to him and said, "Uncle Wu, you're here."
"Yes, I came uninvited. I heard you were moving today, and I just happened to be passing by, so I came to see you. Yaya, you've gotten so fat!"
Ya Ya felt a little embarrassed by what he said. Wu Chen didn't treat himself as an outsider and found a stool to sit down.
Zeng Hu was extremely disgusted by his appearance. He had only mentioned it casually to his colleagues at the police station, but this guy overheard it and shamelessly came over.
Zhou Li felt that Wu Chen, being such a good person, should find a good girl, at least one who was without flaws in character.
"Officer Wu, is your girlfriend really Zhu Man? Do you even know her...?"
"Zhou Li, hurry up and eat. Didn't you keep saying you wanted stew and cornbread? Eat quickly, or it'll be gone."
Shen Yuzhu interrupted him, glancing at him. Zhou Li chuckled and brushed aside what he had just said, picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat.
Wu Chen wasn't surprised, or rather, he came here today specifically for Zhu Man's sake.
"Yeah, my girlfriend Zhu Man is that girl from the Agricultural Research Institute. She used to be a clueless lackey who caused trouble for her younger brother's wife."
Everyone: "..."
"So, what do you think? Isn't my boyfriend pretty good-looking?"
Everyone: "......."
This person can be very serious when he's serious, but when he's not serious, he can say things that catch you off guard.
No one paid him any attention, so he continued talking to himself, "I know you don't like her. What she did before was really annoying. To be honest, she's just a girl. If she were a man, I would have slapped her a few times."
As Wu Chen spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, then turned around and saw Ya Ya eating it like a little hamster, so he put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.
"Zhu Man is actually quite clever. She acted like a big shot behind Qiao's back just so that her younger brother in Beijing could get a factory job right after graduation. Sister-in-law, I have to apologize to you on her behalf. She won't do anything foolish again."
Shen Yuzhu nodded. "Your feelings are your own business, and you'll live your own lives. I accept your apology. Just don't cause trouble for me and my sister in the future."
"That's for sure. If she dares to wrong you, I'll beat her up."
Everyone: "..."
Given his current state, how much he admires her, and he still dares to belittle her? He'd be lucky not to get beaten up himself!
Zeng Hu glanced at Wu Chen's sweet smile and felt very worried. All his brothers were in pairs, but he was still a bachelor.
With a sigh, he picked up two pieces of food with his chopsticks, and then saw Zhou Li put a piece of egg on Liang Manxiu's plate.
Ha! Everyone's showing off to him!
Shen Yuzhu rarely had two days off, so she didn't leave that night. Liang Manxiu, who had finally seen her, was even more reluctant to leave and planned to stay in the side room that night.
The three people sat on chairs in the yard chatting, while several children ran around chasing each other.
“Sister Yuming, when you’re at work, please send Yaya and Qiancheng to the daycare. I have a long lunch break, so I can go see them.”
"It's alright, I'm all at the factory. I can stroll around and check on things at noon." When talking about work, Shen Yuming's eyes were full of hope for the future.
"Is it alright since Sister Guo looked after the yard at home?"
“It’s alright. Guo Rou is a wonderful person. I give her one yuan every month as a guard’s allowance, and she’s very happy to accept it. I’m so grateful to have her by my side all these years, otherwise I really don’t know how I would have survived.”
Guo Rou is indeed a very good person, and Shen Yuzhu praises her for this.
As the group was talking, there was a knock on the courtyard gate. An old woman with a basket on her shoulder stood at the door, smiling at them.
"Is this Shen Yuming's house? I'm Zeng Hu's mother, hehehe... May I come in?"
The three people: "......"
Shen Yuming quickly invited her in and brought her a stool to sit on.
The basket the old lady brought didn't contain anything valuable; it was mostly vegetables grown in her own yard, which relieved Shen Yuming.
"Your yard is nice. You could make a vegetable garden in the corner. If you need any seeds, just ask me. Don't be shy!"
"Thank you, ma'am. Here, have some water."
Mother Zeng took it and waved her hand, saying, "Don't be so formal, Xiao Shen. I know all the women in this neighborhood very well. The neighbors are all kind-hearted people. If you ever need anything or any help, just let me know."
"Oh, I just arrived and don't know anyone here. Your words really warm my heart. If I bother you in the future, please don't think it's a bother."
"No, okay? You two chat, I just came to check on things and I'm leaving now!"
Zeng's mother came and went in a hurry, leaving the three people in the courtyard somewhat puzzled. However, Shen Yuzhu quickly figured it out, as she had heard that Zeng Hu's mother was an easy-going old woman.
It was obvious that her son had informed her beforehand and knew what kind of person she was. There was no disdain or contempt in his eyes just now; instead, they were full of admiration.
Shen Yuzhu thought that if her sister really got together with Zeng Hu, this old lady would definitely be a good mother-in-law.
"Tomorrow, I'll get some fruit candies from the supply and marketing cooperative. In the evening, Sister Yuming will take her child to deliver some to each house in the neighborhood, chat with them, and get to know them better."
"Yes, yes, Manxiu is right, that's definitely what we should do," Shen Yuming agreed. Why didn't I think of that before!
As they were talking, Qiancheng slowly came over. Seeing that the children were sleepy, Shen Yuming quickly invited them to go inside and sleep.
Shen Yuzhu glanced up, then turned and pulled Liang Manxiu, saying, "When you go back to Xiangyang Production Team tomorrow or the day after, do me a favor."
