Chu Yun didn't know what he was thinking, but after hearing the other person's tactful refusal, she didn't insist any further.
She straightened the clothes covering her body and put them aside, then straightened her own clothes and tied her messy hair into a ponytail.
Zhou Yuheng could capture all her movements through the car window mirror.
If a little girl encountered such a thing, most people would be scared out of their wits. However, this girl looked fair and weak, but she was still strong. At least she didn't cry during the whole process.
…
The car drove all the way to the local Women's Federation.
Zhou Yuheng got out of the car and negotiated with the director, then entrusted the person to them.
Before leaving, Zhou Yuheng took out two 50-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to Chu Yun.
Fearing that the girl would not accept the money out of shame, he even said, "Comrade Chu, keep the money for your use while you are away, and return it to me when we have the chance to meet next time."
Chu Yun's heart warmed, and she quickly waved her hand to explain: "Thank you for your kindness, Comrade Zhou. I came out with my private money and ID."
After saying that, before Chu Yun could react, she had already raised her hand and reached into her clothes.
When she reacted and quickly reached out, she saw that the man opposite her had already turned his back to her. Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.
She was afraid that it was not safe, so she wrapped the money and documents in a handkerchief and placed them on the side of her underwear.
My hands are faster than my brain, it’s really killing me!
Zhou Yuheng appeared calm on the surface, but upon closer inspection, he noticed the tips of his ears were slightly red. He said calmly, "In that case, Miss Chu, take care. I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Chu Yun and walked straight towards the car.
Chu Yun suppressed her embarrassment and waved goodbye: "Thank you, Comrade Zhou! Have a good trip, and we'll meet again if we're lucky."
Zhou Yuheng walked to the side of the car, turned around, saluted, and replied: "See you again if we are lucky. Take care, Comrade Chu."
The dog in the passenger seat also stuck its head out and barked twice.
Chu Yun also smiled and waved to the dog, and watched the car leave, with some complicated and emotional emotions in her heart.
A man and a dog saved his life, but unfortunately he couldn't even treat them to a meal.
In that era, there were no mobile phones or convenient communication methods like WeChat. Meeting again depended entirely on fate, and no one could say whether they would meet again.
I hope we can meet again and thank him/her properly.

The director of the Women's Federation was very conscientious. She registered Chu Yun's information and needs and promised to help find the whereabouts of her biological parents as soon as possible.
Afterwards, Chu Yun was settled in the dormitory in the backyard of the Women's Federation.
The dormitory is a single room, with two people living in one room.
The room is less than 15 square meters and has bunk beds. The lower bunk is already occupied, and Chu Yun lives in the upper bunk. There is an iron cabinet with a lock next to it where you can put things.
Chu Yun was not picky. The accommodation they provided was already very good, and this was just her temporary place to stay, so there was no need to be too particular.
She went out to the supply and marketing cooperative and weighed out some candies and snacks to distribute to everyone.
The director's favorable impression of this girl increased significantly when he saw that she was pretty, graceful, and considerate in buying things for others.
That afternoon, a new mattress and quilt were placed on Chu Yun's upper bunk bed.
The female worker who helped to change the bed was the one who occupies the lower bunk. When Chu Yun went out for lunch, she came back to see her brand new bed.
Gao Yan, the female worker on the lower bunk, saw someone coming back and said with a smile, "Comrade Chu, my name is Gao Yan. Our director likes you very much. Although our dormitory is not big, it is clean and convenient. There are not many people living in the dormitory of the unit, and usually no one comes to disturb you. You can live here with peace of mind."
Chu Yun pulled out a handful of White Rabbit candies from her pocket and casually handed them over, smiling and agreeing, "Hello, Sister Gao. It's because of the Director that I have a place to stay. Thank you all for accepting me, especially for bothering you."
There were rare White Rabbit milk candies, and the girl was very sweet-spoken. Gao Yan took the milk candies with a bright smile, and immediately pulled the girl over and started chatting and laughing intimately.
"Oh, what's the big deal? I'm so happy to have a beautiful girl like you accompany me..."
After a while, Chu Yun learned from people what this place was.
This is Qing City, a small city located in the northwest, far away from Lincheng.
The original owner had no memory of ever leaving Lincheng, so he had no idea about cities he had never been to.
Chu Yun asked again vaguely about the village she was in last night. She ran out and remembered that there was a sign at the entrance of the village called Mao Village.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yan actually knew it.
"Mao Village is very poor. There's a female worker in our factory whose hometown is there. She never goes back for Chinese New Year, saying that her family can't accommodate her and the roads there are difficult to travel. She says it takes two days to get there by bus from here."
Chu Yun listened and lowered her eyes. What was he talking about? There was no room at home and the road was difficult to travel. I guess he didn't want to go back.
That kind of den of evil people is simply terrifying.
No wonder they say that unruly people come from poor and remote areas.
But fortunately, we are far away from that place now.
Gao Yan stared at Chu Yun's pretty face and said enviously, "Xiao Chu, not only are you good-looking, but your skin is so tender you can pinch water out of it. You look like you were born into a wealthy family. Are you still in school?"
Chu Yun smiled and said casually, "Just finished the college entrance examination."
"Oh, what a brilliant student! The college entrance exam results will be out in a couple of days. You'll definitely be able to get into a good university."
Chu Yun agreed with a smile on her face, but she was a little worried in her heart.
Logically speaking, the original owner had already taken the college entrance examination. If he had achieved good results, he should have gone to university after the summer vacation.
The Chu family can't go back now. Considering the character of the Chu family and Chu Jinxiu, they hate themselves so much that they will tear the admission letter into pieces and ruin this matter.
You have to know that in that era, you couldn’t go to college without an admission letter and a street household registration certificate.
Thinking of this, Chu Yun no longer worried about it. After all, she had graduated from college in her previous life, so it didn’t matter to her whether she went to college or not.
Even if she wanted to go, she would face many troubles. Her household registration was in the Chu family, and all the certificates she had on her were related to the Chu family.
According to Chu Jinxiu, the Chu family might kick her out of the household registration book in two days.
In case the Chu family does something strange in the future, she has to find her biological parents first and transfer her household registration there to be safe, so that she can feel at ease when going to school or doing anything else in the future.
As for what Chu Jinxiu said, that her biological parents favored boys over girls and were not good people, she didn't believe it at all.
If she was really that kind of person, he probably wouldn't send her to school. He would let her stay at home to do the laundry, cooking and housework.
After all, it was difficult for those who were sent down to the countryside to survive, and they still struggled to support their daughter's education until high school.
So, people shouldn't be that bad.
