Chapter 12: Picked Cleanly
"I went to send the marriage documents and sent a telegram to the Feng family."
Zhu Yunying took out the telegram receipt in a gentle tone.
Wu Meng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and she snatched it away.
"33 words?! So many! What did you say?" Her eyes widened.
Zhu Yunyao curled her lips and said, "Your horoscope is compatible with his. You are my sister. The Feng family's child marriage is better off with someone else."
“…”
Wu Meng was embarrassed and speechless for a moment.
It is difficult to explain in a few words the matter of breaking off an engagement and changing a wife after realizing it too late. You can't just send a message saying that the engagement has been broken off.
"I mean, it's only 33 words. Is that clear? Don't make things worse when the time comes."
Wu Meng muttered.
Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "If you feel like you're being more of a hindrance than helpful, then go to the post office and get your marriage documents back. There's still time. By the time they're mailed tomorrow morning, you'll be a homeless person when you go out."
Wu Meng bit her lip: "..."
"Zhu Yunying, you're here just in time! What happened to the office? Why did it catch fire? Can you take responsibility for such a serious accident?"
Jiang Yiming pointed in the direction of the office.
Zhu Yunying curled her lips indifferently: "There are too many mosquitoes in the room, so I lit mosquito coils. I wanted to come back and work overtime. But...but my family asked me to send something."
"Wu Zhixiong, it seems that this responsibility lies with you? Tell me, how are you going to compensate?!"
As Jiang Yiming spoke, he lowered his head and prepared to retrieve his glasses.
How could Wu Zhixiong lose money?
He came to help put out the fire because he was worried that his son would lose his job!
Now even Jiang Yiming is about to lose his official position, but he doesn't care!
Bang!
He threw the bucket!
"Why should we pay for it? It was Zhu Yunyao who burned the book! Of course she should pay for it! She has money, 10,000 yuan!! Go to her!"
With that, Wu Zhixiong grabbed his wife and children and ran away.
In the courtyard outside the burnt office door, only Jiang Yiming and Zhu Yunying were left.
Beep Beep——
There are still some flames that have not been completely extinguished.
The two stood face to face, looked at each other for a while, and then burst into laughter!
“Hahahahahahaha!”
"Hahahaha! You actually believed it all!"
"How stupid! Apart from me putting out the fire, no one in the library suspected anything!"
"Yes, the one who came to tip off was not the administrator here."
"...I'm a student from Jing City. Hahahaha!"
The two laughed for a long time.
Zhu Yunying took out a large bag of Mingqian Longjing tea: "Uncle Jiang, I found these tea leaves in the Zhu Mansion. You can keep them and drink them."
"Is everything arranged?" Jiang Yiming took the tea leaves without hesitation and was concerned about Zhu Yunying's arrangements.
Time returns to daytime——
Zhu Yunying nervously raised her predicament.
"Uncle Jiang, Wu Zhixiong isn't worthy of being my father. He said Zhou Xiu was a poor widow from the same village who suffered from famine, but look at her children; they're the exact replica of Wu Zhixiong. It's a good thing I look like my mother, otherwise I'd be disgusted even looking in the mirror."
"Before, I worked in the library and always stayed alone because I was worried that they would take my job away. I didn't expect that he would not only take my job away to give to Wu Tianbao, but also take the Feng family's engagement to give to Wu Meng.
"Not only that, the couple has packed their supplies and is planning to flee to Hong Kong!"
When Jiang Yiming heard this, he immediately felt unwell.
I wanted to report it on the spot!
But Zhu Yunying calmed him down: "I have an idea that can catch them all in one fell swoop, but I need Uncle Jiang's help."
"You say!" Jiang Yiming was already convinced.
"After a while, you can scold me and let me finish the book sorting work alone. Then I will move all the books and replace them with some waste paper and rags. This office is already a dangerous building. Let's tear it down and rebuild it with Wu Zhixiong's money.
"I'll go home and get Wu Meng's ID and sign her up for the educated youth program! She might even go with you. You can go to the Zhu Mansion and hold them back. When the office catches fire, you can bring them to put out the fire and tell them right away that they've lost their jobs and have to pay compensation."
"They've hidden all the money. Let's make another bet to see if they'll go find the hidden place. If they do, report it!"
Jiang Yiming thought about it for a while and agreed.
What happened next was quite smooth, triggering a combo.
At this moment, looking at the office burned to charcoal, Jiang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief.
"The building was already rickety, and I've reported it to the school many times. It's kind of put my mind at ease."
Zhu Yunying was quite discerning and immediately handed over the previous 10,000 yuan.
"Uncle Jiang, please keep this money. I made this mess, and I feel bad for having you clean it up."
"No, no! I care about you more than this! You really don't want to be a librarian anymore?"
Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, I'm planning to join the army! Leave this job to the student you brought from Beijing. You can keep the money too. Otherwise, just consider it as my donation! I'll have the opportunity to study in school in the future. Please give me a chance."
Jiang Yiming was silent.
These days, apart from being nominated by workers, peasants and soldiers, who can get into university?
Even though the Zhu family is a red capitalist family, they still have "capital" and the road ahead is difficult.
But this money...
Jiang Yiming made a request: "I can accept this donation on behalf of the school. But you must sever ties with Wu Zhixiong in the newspaper. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the Wu family."
Zhu Yunwei nodded happily.
Dealing with smart people means being open.
She understood Jiang Yiming's intention. The Wu family was very greedy and would definitely make mistakes.
By then, firstly, she had severed her relationship, secondly, she had donated money, and thirdly, she was still a military wife…
You can pick yourself clean!
Some money needs to be spent!
After discussing these, Jiang Yiming circled back.
"Yun Wei, where did you put those books?"
The fire in the office could be attributed to aging electrical wiring, but there must be no problem with the books!
Zhu Yunying took Jiang Yiming to the reading room.
The piles have been clearly sorted and properly processed, and the insect repellent powder has been cleaned off.
Except for not remembering to fill in the bibliography, everything else was perfect.
Jiang Yiming, who loved books, breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhu Yunying a thumbs up.
Zhu Yunying quietly touched her hot watch.
Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Kongkong.
When she puts the books into the space with one click, the sorting and cleaning work is automatically completed, and she just needs to take them out again.
After bidding farewell to Director Jiang, Zhu Yunying slowly returned to the Zhu Mansion.
…
At this moment, a sharp explosion was heard in the Zhu Mansion!
"Thief, there's a thief—"
"Mom! All my beautiful dresses that I never wore are gone! And there's not a single bill left."
"Dad! All the tonic you gave me is gone! What will I do when I get married?!"
“…”
The whole room was chattering.
Wu Zhixiong's legs went weak.
It’s gone, it’s gone!
He worked hard to build a secret room in his house to hide things, but it was all stolen by thieves.
"Who was the last one to leave? Why didn't you lock the door?!"
He gnashed his teeth in hatred and hammered the wall repeatedly.
"Could it be Zhu Yunying who did it? She deliberately burned down the office, lured us to put out the fire, and then came back to rob the house?"
"Go to her room!"
Encouraged by his wife and children, Wu Zhixiong pushed open Zhu Yunyao's room.
She has no backroom compartments here.
But the thief only left her a quilt!
All emptied out—
