Chapter 60: Bringing People to Collect Rent



And here,

Chu Xiaoyu was holding a small bag in his hand, which contained his clothes and pocket money.

He walked on the road in confusion. He didn't know where his sister was. He only knew that the bad woman at home mentioned that she was in the countryside.

Seeing an old lady selling sewing supplies on the roadside, he hesitated for a moment and then took the initiative to go up and ask.

"Hello, Grandma, do you know any countryside nearby?"

The old lady selling needles and thread is in her seventies or eighties. She is usually hard of hearing and deaf, so she can hear things in Xiangxian.

She pointed to the bus station and explained, "Child, to go to Xiangxian, you have to go to that bus station. Where are your parents?"

Chu Xiaoyu shook his head and lied with a red face, "Grandma, my family, my parents will be here soon."

The old lady was fond of this clean and gentle boy. She came close and shouted, "Grandma's hearing is not very good. Ask your parents to take you to the train station ahead. Don't dare run around like a child."

Chu Xiaoyu thanked the man obediently and took out two cents from his pocket money to buy a pair of women's socks made by his grandmother.

The socks were bare, and Chu Xiaoyu handed over another 50 cents, "Grandma, can you embroider a name with flowers on it? I want to give it to my sister."

The old man listened closely twice before he understood. He thought the child was really understanding and said with a smile, "Give me ten cents. Can you write your name?"

Chu Xiaoyu is already a third-grade student and can write quite a few words. He borrowed a pen from his grandmother and carefully wrote his sister's name.

Although the old lady is hard of hearing and deaf, she has been doing needlework all her life and has profound skills.

After a short while, the name was embroidered and decorated with flowers, and the socks instantly became much more exquisite.

Chu Xiaoyu sat next to the old lady and watched with her own eyes as her sister's name was embroidered stitch by stitch. Her mouth opened slightly in shock, and she felt that her grandmother was so amazing.

Although the old lady asked him to give her ten cents, he still put 50 cents into her iron box.

Chu Xiaoyu happily packed the socks into his bag and prepared to go to the train station.

He couldn't walk far relying on his legs alone, so Chu Xiaoyu found a rickshaw driver on the roadside and asked him to take him to the train station.

The old man looked at him like a child and said, "Kid, do you have money? You are going to the train station alone with a bag? You are not running away from home, right? I dare not take you with me."

Chu Xiaoyu found his own change, handed him 50 cents, and shook his head to explain: "I'm not running away from home. I'm going to look for someone over there. You'll know if you take me there."

The old man chuckled and scratched his head, "Okay, sit down then."

——

Beijing City,

Although my uncle's operation went smoothly, he had to stay in the hospital for a week for observation.

Aunt Jiang was the one who took care of Chu Yun, and because she had been with him all night, she was sent home by everyone to catch up on some sleep.

After returning home, Chu Yun naturally couldn't sleep.

I also studied and drew some trial clothes for autumn and winter. Although it is summer now, the clothing industry is not like other seasonal products. Clothes must be made and ordered one or two quarters in advance.

By the way, I have to go out and inquire about garment factories tomorrow. I have to put starting a business on the agenda as soon as possible.

The next morning,

Chu Yun packed breakfast to deliver to the hospital, but Director Meng arrived early.

There were also five or six big guys from the Housing Authority's logistics department traveling with them.

Li Lihua was frightened by the scene. Chu Qingshan understood Director Meng's kindness and warmly invited him into the house for tea.

After helping to serve tea, Li Lihua went outside to ask her daughter, still feeling frightened.

"Xiao Yun, what kind of people is your dad associating with? Those big guys look a bit fierce. Mom is trembling inside."

Chu Yun hugged her mother and smiled, "It's okay, Mom. Director Meng is backing us up. He deliberately sent so many people to collect rent from the house. Most of the people living there are troublemakers."

Li Lihua finally understood and smiled helplessly, "So that's how it is. We should really thank Director Meng. When I'm free, I'll cook a delicious meal and have your dad invite everyone over for dinner."

Chu Yun nodded, "Okay, let my dad talk to someone then."

The mother and daughter were talking secretly when they saw the people inside coming out again.

Chu Qingshan thought of what his daughter said yesterday and asked, "Xiaoyun, Dad and your Uncle Meng are going to Hongxing Second Lane to collect rent. Are you going?"

The reason why Chu Yun wanted to go was because she was afraid that her father would suffer. Now that Director Meng was accompanying her, she was not so worried anymore.

"Then I still have to deliver food to my uncle, why don't you and Uncle Meng go first."

Upon hearing this, Li Lihua whispered to her daughter, "If you want to go, go ahead. Mom will go to the hospital to deliver food."

Chu Yun shook her head, "Mom, no need."

She went to the hospital to deliver food and stay with her uncle for a while. After that, she planned to go out and inquire about the garment factory.

Li Lihua said nothing more, turned around and told her husband to be careful and stay away from troublemakers in case of conflict.

Meng Jun laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm here to bring the person back to you safely."

Li Lihua blushed. Chu Qingshan coughed lightly and asked Meng Jun to take the people out first.

He took Li Lihua's hand and said a few gentle words of comfort. Li Lihua shyly pushed his hand away, not noticing that her daughter was still there.

Chu Qingshan smiled helplessly. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his daughter being the fruit of their marriage, but his wife was shy.

Li Lihua rushed him out with a hot face, muttering, "Don't keep people waiting. Go early and come back early."

Chu Qingshan nodded, "Oh, I see."

After the people left, the heat on Li Lihua's face had not yet subsided, and she awkwardly adjusted the hair around her ears.

Pretending to be calm, she turned around and said to her daughter, "Xiaoyun, why don't I go bring her food and you go play with Feiyue."
