She did what she said. After eating the buns, Liu Chunhua took Jiang Zhize and Jiang Ruyi to the supply and marketing cooperative. There was a charge for making phone calls there, so Liu Chunhua paid the money and called the school security guard.

"Hello, I'm looking for Jiang Zhishun from the ninth grade."

"Are you looking for Jiang Zhishun?"

I don’t know if it was Liu Chunhua’s illusion, but the guard seemed a little surprised when he said this, and Jiang Ruyi also sensitively noticed that something was wrong.

Even if there were not many students of this age, it was impossible for the security guard to remember the name of every student in every grade. However, he was able to accurately produce such a strange reaction to the three words "Jiang Zhishun", which meant that he at least knew her second brother.

What was the situation that made the security guard know Jiang Zhishun?

Jiang Ruyi blinked. Based on her experience, there were only two possibilities. Either his academic performance was exceptionally good and he was the focus of training for the entire school, or he had an accident recently and had become the focus of public attention.

Liu Chunhua's heart jumped to her throat when she heard her analysis. "Yes, I'm looking for Jiang Zhishun. I'm his mother. May I ask if something happened to him?"

"No, no." The guard seemed to be afraid of letting the cat out of the bag and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, the get out of class is just over. I'll go get him."

"Okay." Liu Chunhua waited anxiously, fearing that something might happen to the second child at school. She glanced at Jiang Zhize and frowned, "Let me ask you, did you take care of the pen issue last time you went to school?"

"It's been handled. The other party also admitted that he provoked the second brother first. Their school leaders also stepped forward to mediate. It's nothing serious. We... That's why I came back."

After hearing what he said, Liu Chunhua felt relieved for the time being. All she had to do was wait for the second brother to answer the phone and then ask him in detail.

After a long time, as if it was a quarter of an hour, the phone was picked up again, and this time it was Jiang Zhishun's voice that came out.

"mother."

"Second brother! Are you okay at school? Is everything okay?"

"It's fine, nothing happened." Compared to Liu Chunhua's excitement, Jiang Zhishun's voice was unusually calm. Jiang Ruyi's brows furrowed more and more as she listened, but from such a distance, she couldn't judge Jiang Zhishun's specific situation.

"Mom, why did you call suddenly? Did something happen at home?"

Liu Chunhua was stunned by the question. After hesitating for a while, she decided to temporarily conceal the fact that she was divorced from Jiang Chao. She just told him, "Nothing happened. I just moved to a new place. I was afraid that you might not be able to find your way home when you come back one day, so I called to tell you."

"Why did you change your residence so suddenly?"

Seeing that Jiang Zhishun was about to get suspicious, Liu Chunhua was worried that it would affect his studies, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "It's okay, these are just small matters. You should do well in school. If you don't have enough money, remember to tell me."

".....Okay, I will take good care of myself. Mom, class is about to start, so I won't talk to you for now." Jiang Zhishun hung up the phone first after he finished speaking, leaving Liu Chunhua on the other end and opening her mouth. Why was this brat so anxious? She even wanted to talk to him more.

Fortunately, she had said everything she needed to say, and Liu Chunhua felt relieved. On the way back, she ran into Old Li, who couldn't stop smiling.

"Chunhua Chunhua, it's a good thing that you are here. I was just about to look for you! The canteen matter has been settled. Here is the land deed!" Old Li's face was flushed as he handed the land deed carefully to Liu Chunhua.

Liu Chunhua couldn't help but smile when she saw it, "Finally, there is something good to be happy about!"

"The price is exactly what you said. He originally refused to agree to it, but he haggled for two days. I guess the debt collectors were too pressing, so he came to our door early this morning. Chunhua, when do you think we can reopen for business?" Old Li was a little impatient. He was too tired of staying at home.

Liu Chunhua was in a dilemma at this moment. "Brother Li, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Liu Chunhua recounted her divorce and compensation story. When she talked about how she got nothing, she felt ashamed.

Without initial capital, it’s impossible to get the labor and supply of goods.

"You bastard, why is your man like this?" Old Li was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He turned around and felt helpless. "If it was just wages, it would be easy to deal with. I would come forward to discuss with my old friends and pay the wages in two months. Everyone would give me some face. But there are still costs to open a store. Food, oil, salt and other daily necessities are not a small loss. If you don't have money, it's really difficult..."

"Mom, what are you talking about? What about opening the store or not?" Jiang Zhize was confused. Jiang Ruyi was annoyed by him and covered his mouth with her little hand.

"Little sister, what are you doing? Let me go." Jiang Zhize was still yelling, and Jiang Ruyi said impatiently, "Stop talking!"

Jiang Zhize was shocked!

My little sister can actually speak so coherently!

Seeing her tense face, Jiang Zhize suddenly had an idea, "Mom is going to open a store, right? You also know about this, right?"

Jiang Ruyi glanced at him, with disdain clearly written on her face.

How come this silly brother has turned into a chatterbox?

Liu Chunhua and Old Li discussed for a while, but neither of them had a better idea. However, Old Li told Liu Chunhua that he could help keep those who were working for a while until she could get the money back.

So now the question is, how can Liu Chunhua, who is penniless, raise enough money to open her business?

Just when the two were at a loss, they suddenly saw Xiao Liuzi wandering across the street.

Jiang Ruyi's eyes lit up, [Wu Ge, can you provide loan collateral services? ]

"What is loan collateral?"

Jiang Ruyi explained that loan collateral means mortgaging one's own valuables with the lender in exchange for a certain amount of loan, and then paying it back with interest when the term expires.

"If I can't pay it back, won't the mortgage be gone?" Liu Chunhua figured out the key all at once. The only valuable things on her now are the shop and the title deed she just bought, but these things are the foundation of her future livelihood, so how could she do such a thing?

"No, no, if the shop is gone, we will have to sleep on the street."

Liu Chunhua turned around and left, saying that she was not willing to take any risk. Jiang Zhize behind her was confused. Who was she talking to?

Could it be that he was under too much pressure and was hallucinating?

Compared to the embarrassment of the mother and her two children after being left penniless, Jiang Chao, who got a gold lock and fifty yuan from his divorce, is living a prosperous life.

He simply cut a large piece of meat, set up a small table at Widow Zhang's house, and invited his good friends to celebrate that he had finally gotten rid of his past life.
