Chapter 71 Seeing the Silly Boy Again



Zhou's cousin was very easy to talk to, and things were settled easily.

The two successfully got two weeks off. Zhou Hongyu was fine, but Chen Zhaodi was inevitably made difficult by Director He in the workshop. However, judging from her excited expression when she returned after getting leave, it was clear that she had completely vented her frustration!

Chen Zhaodi was assigned to go to Zhou's cousin's place to set up the venue first.

Zhou Hongyu, on the other hand, was busy finding a driver to haul the goods.

In this day and age, drivers are very precious and extremely difficult to serve. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Zhaodi is stingy by nature and not very smart, making her unsuitable, I would definitely have let her do this kind of miserable job!

Sigh, there are gains and losses. Having found this nuclear-powered donkey, I have to do all the brain work myself.

Without proper connections, finding a suitable driver is really difficult.

They were also wary of their family finding out about their clothes sales, and they even tried to avoid running into relatives they already knew. All this made finding a suitable driver increasingly difficult.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hongyu went directly to the warehouse where the clothes were stored to wait for her.

The boss here needs to hire a driver for both purchasing and shipping goods, so she'll try to find a driver who's willing to do private work and pay him a little more for the favor.

Zhou Hongyu ate an ice pop, leaned against a tree, and observed for half an hour. During this time, a total of three trucks came and went.

She quickly selected a truck and a middle-aged male driver who looked very honest and exuded the same aura as Chen Zhaodi.

After finishing her popsicle, Zhou Hongyu clapped her hands and walked straight toward the middle-aged male driver who was resting by the truck.

"What's your name? I have some work introduced by a private boss, would you like to take it?"

"I... my name is Li Daniu! You can just call me Lao Li. There are regulations that we can't take on side jobs, little sister, I didn't mean to refuse to help you..."

Li Daniu is genuinely honest but doesn't know how to refuse people, and he stutters when he speaks.

Zhou Hongyu smiled and nodded. Yes, just as rigid and inflexible as Chen Zhaodi.

It's okay, just wait.

I'll get you started making money very soon!

Zhou Hongyu's eyes darted around, preparing to use her emotions and reason to persuade the honest man to do her work.

Suddenly, she heard someone call out behind her, "Mom!"

Zhou Hongyu immediately turned around with a stiff face, and sure enough, it was one of her two troublesome sons, her unlucky, simple-minded eldest son.

I took the day off and I'm here. Doesn't he go to work? Why is he here too?

Zhou Hongyu slightly raised her chin, her expression carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Chang Pengfei was a bit dirty, his face, hands, and forehead were covered in black engine oil.

Chang Pengfei walked up to Li Daniu, greeted him, and called him "Master".

Li Daniu looked refreshed and stroked his beard, nodding with satisfaction.

Zhou Hongyu then revealed a thoughtful look. Master? One of our own!

Li Daniu stood with his hands behind his back, preparing to make room for his newly accepted apprentice and the apprentice's mother.

Before he could even open his mouth, Zhou Hongyu suddenly started wailing, wiping her eyes as if she were having a dramatic outburst.

Chang Pengfei looked helpless; his mother was using this trick again!

He used to be so naive as to be fooled, but his mother-in-law, being a kind person, told him that it was just a trick his mother used to scare people.

Alas, times have changed, and even my mother-in-law is a disappointment now.

Li Daniu was terrified when he saw this. His wife was a rural woman who was just like Chen Zhaodi, who would bleed and sweat but not shed a tear, and who would swallow any hardship. He had never encountered anything like this before!

"Sister, what's wrong with you... Pengfei, quickly talk to your mother..."

"mom……"

Chang Pengfei sighed.

Zhou Hongyu hugged Chang Pengfei's shoulders, overwhelmed with grief: "I can't go on like this anymore. Your father doesn't come home for three to five years at a time. I'm raising four children, and you, the eldest, are about to get married. I just wanted to earn some commission, but that's not allowed either. I... I can't live like this..."

Chang Pengfei's toes were digging into the ground. Having watched his mother act like this since he was a child, his biggest dream was to marry a cultured, gentle, and considerate wife like Minjun.

Li Daniu, who was encountering a scam for the first time, was so engrossed in the act that he hurriedly shouted, "Young lady, you're still young, don't do anything rash! I'll help you with anything you need!"

After saying this, Li Daniu felt inexplicably guilty. Would his wife in the village beat him up if she found out?

Zhou Hongyu went from crying to laughing, and looked at Li Daniu with a big smile: "Brother, you're such a good person!"

Li Daniu chuckled and scratched the back of his head. This city girl had a really nice voice.

Haha, but he still feels more comfortable listening to his wife scold him.

Chang Pengfei just stood there watching them, watching helplessly as his dramatic mother tricked his honest master, whom he had only known for a few days.

At this moment, the warehouse staff called Li Daniu away.

Chang Pengfei finally couldn't help but say, "Mom, can you please stop bullying honest people?"

Even with such a good wife like Wu Minjun, his mother rarely gives her a kind look.

Zhou Hongyu glared at him, crossing her arms impatiently: "Leave me alone. What are you doing here during work hours? Don't you want your job?"

Chang Pengfei guiltily looked away: "Anyway, I'm not busy. Everyone does this. I'll take on some side jobs to earn more money so I can marry Minjun as soon as possible!"

hehe.

Who are you referring to, "大家"?

They're seasoned veterans who've been in the business for years, and you're just a newbie who hasn't even learned anything yet, and you're already trying to imitate them!

Zhou Hongyu sighed and shook her head. Although the Wu family was rubbish, she didn't know whether she should marry Wu Minjun. This silly and simple-minded eldest son would not survive in the future without a shrewd wife.

In the dream, the eldest son only listened to Wu Minjun's words and would never go west when she told him to go east. Wu Minjun went to great lengths to bring back a lot of benefits for the younger family.
