Chapter 14 Madam, Wipe Your Tears
A fried egg that was burnt to a crisp, a thin porridge that was so watery it took a long time to remove any rice grains, and pickled mustard greens that were so choking and had too much salt in them...
Wu Zhixiong narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching: "Mengmeng, you call this an apology?"
"Dad, how can I cook? I've been studying this for a long time..." Wu Meng pouted and stretched out her hand, "Look, the oil has splashed all over my hand."
When Wu Zhixiong saw this, his attitude softened a lot.
"I brought back comfrey oil and Jingwanhong ointment last night. Apply them quickly. It would be ugly if a scar formed on a young girl like you."
"Dad, you're not angry anymore, are you?" Wu Meng lowered his head and looked pleasing.
Wu Zhixiong hummed, tasted a mouthful of porridge, and put it down silently: "Dad hit me hard yesterday, does it still hurt?"
Hearing Wu Zhixiong's caring words, Wu Meng breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head.
"Okay, I'll ask Tianbao to bring the medicine." Wu Zhixiong comforted.
As soon as Wu Tianbao went downstairs, he heard his sister acting coquettishly, and his anger rose again.
She was so aggrieved yesterday, but now she is so cheerful...
It’s because the marriage is already settled, so I don’t have to worry about going to the countryside!
In the end, he was the only one in his family to be sent to the countryside.
Wu Tianbao clenched his fists and did not respond for a long time.
How come he just now realized that Sister Meng is quite scheming?
"Tianbao, go get the comfrey oil!"
"Sister Meng has her own hands!"
"Wu Tian..." Bao!
Wu Zhixiong coughed twice and wanted to put on airs again, but there was a commotion outside.
"Wu Tianbao! Who is Wu Tianbao?!"
The person who pushed the door open was the man who came yesterday to inform us that the library was on fire.
He led a large group of people and blocked the door of Zhu Mansion.
"Wu Tianbao! If you want to take over Zhu Yunying's job, you have to clean up this mess! Let's go to the school and explain to the leaders how your family is going to compensate you!"
"What compensation do you need? Why should I pay compensation? It was Zhu Yunyao who burned down the house and damaged the books! Go find her."
Wu Tianbao was rational and confident, and said something fierce.
He turned back upstairs and kicked open Zhu Yunyao's room...
The person did not come back.
There was nothing in the room.
"She really didn't come back?!"
Wu Tianbao muttered something, and when he turned around, he saw that they had caught up with him from the stairs on one side, so he quickly rushed down from another way.
He even saw the silver bracelet!
These guys are serious!
"Just wait, I'm going to find Zhu Yunying! I'm going to ask her to pay me back. She had money on her, and she ran off with a lot of it!"
Wu Tianbao ran very fast, stumbling and almost falling down!
Wu Zhixiong and Zhou Xiu saw that Zhu Yunying's room was empty. Seeing that Haicheng University was approaching with such force, they could only soften their tempers. "Where's Director Jiang? He saw it. Our whole family went to put out the fire."
"Director Jiang has been implicated and has been called back to Beijing to report the incident. If you can't come up with a compensation plan by the time he returns, expect your property to be liquidated and confiscated!"
Wu Zhixiong's face suddenly turned pale!
"I, we are red capitalists!" Wu Meng added timidly.
The leading man squinted at her and said, "What kind of red capitalists are you? Is your surname Zhu? The Zhu family donated a fabric factory and money, and you're relying on the inheritance to live a life of luxury and extravagance. How can you be red? You're clearly black!"
"I, we..." Zhou Xiu was so scared that she hid behind Wu Zhixiong, clutching her clothes and said tremblingly, "We donated the small Western-style building to be used as an orphanage!"
"……shut up!"
Wu Zhixiong turned his head and pulled it to stop Zhou Xiu from speaking.
The man snorted coldly, "We are not part of the reform team. We don't care about your dirty deeds of exploiting the people's wealth. Hurry and find Wu Tianbao. The school will give an account!"
Wu Zhixiong responded repeatedly and finally got the person to leave.
He turned his head and slapped Zhou Xiu in the face, just like he did to Wu Meng yesterday!
"Are you crazy? We have no food left at home, and you still dare to let them go to the small western-style building! If someone sees our things, we will all be sent down!"
Zhou Xiu covered her swollen face and was speechless for a long time.
She stood there in a daze, watching Wu Zhixiong go back into the house in a rage.
Seeing that she was injured, Wu Meng hurried to Wu Tianbao's room to look for comfrey oil.
In the yard, she, the mistress of the mansion, was the only one crying silently.
"Madam, here is your handkerchief to wipe your tears."
A flash of white appeared in front of her eyes. When she looked up, it was the mansion's driver, handing her a handkerchief.
After Zhu Qingyin passed away, Wu Zhixiong dismissed all the servants for a smooth transition and only kept the driver.
Because no one in the family can drive, and the driver is actually a distant relative of Wu Zhixiong, a poor relative who he uses to show off his life as a son-in-law.
Zhou Xiu had never looked at him straight in the eye before, and had no idea that people were so considerate as to hand him a handkerchief.
"Thanks."
Zhou Xiu took the handkerchief, turned around and went back to the house with sobs.
…
In a small villa of the Zhu family.
Zhu Yunying had a good sleep. When she woke up, she packed her bedding and went into the space to wash up and make breakfast.
Fry a beautiful runny poached egg, cook some millet and multi-grain porridge, and pair it with a plate of garlic-smashed cucumbers. It is simply delicious.
She moved the dining table to the yard, listened to the gurgling of the spiritual spring, looked at the fruitful vegetable garden in front of her, and her heart was filled with energy.
Eat and drink enough!
I'm going to ask Xu Hansheng for something today!
This scumbag made his first fortune by reselling the gifts given by "Zhu Yunying", and used it to please and pursue the heroine Lu Fangfang.
——In his eyes, Lu Fangfang is a ray of light in his life, the direction of his efforts, and the complete definition of happiness.
This is a passage written by the author of the original book. The reason why Zhu Yunying remembered it so clearly was because she was amazed by the remarks of this scumbag, read them out loud, and sneered at them.
To a certain extent, she thought it might be because she cursed too loudly and sarcastically that she ended up traveling through the book!
After leaving the space, she rode her bicycle to find Xu Hansheng.
After the Xu family fell into poverty, their villa was redistributed. The whole family, young and old, were left with only the clothes on their backs and each took a bowl and rushed to the street.
The shantytown is a mixed bag, and Xu Hansheng never lets outsiders in.
Except for the sucker "Zhu Yunwei"!
Because she gave away things, food, drinks, clothes, and daily necessities, everything.
It’s possible that the waistband of Xu Hansheng’s pants was sewn with the cotton cloth she tore off!
An hour later—
"Comrade Zhu, the watch was just a misunderstanding. I didn't know it was you who gave it to Comrade Xu. I, I don't need to come with you, right?"
It was Lu Fangfang's first time in such a shantytown, and she felt very scared.
Zhu Yunying patted her arm and said with a smile, "I don't want to make a big deal out of this. I just want to settle it privately and quietly, and ask you to be a witness. What are you afraid of? Isn't the director of public security here with us?"
When his name was called, the director of public security nodded reluctantly.
It’s so annoying!
As soon as I got to work, I heard that Miss Zhu burned down the library of Haicheng University last night. Unexpectedly, someone came to the door immediately and asked the supply and marketing cooperative to help retrieve the items borrowed from Xu Hansheng.
They said that they wanted to compensate for the collective losses after the fire.
In this day and age, when you need help at work, the leaders are considered your elders!
If they don't show up, who knows who Zhu Yunying will find to make trouble!
So, the director of public security pushed a cart to load the goods.
Knock knock knock!
The door opened quickly.
Xu Hansheng was wearing only cotton shorts, with a toothbrush stuffed in his mouth. He said sleepily, "Zhu Yunyao? Zhu Yunyao?! What are you doing here? I didn't steal anything from you!"
"I know, I lent it to you! Comrade Xu, I made a mistake and I'm short of money right now. If you're not able to return everything to me today, then next time... I'll have to send someone from the police station and the reform team."
Xu Hansheng's mouth twitched: "..."
As he hesitated, he heard a sweet voice beside him: "Comrade Xu, don't worry. The director of public security asked me to be a witness. Comrade Zhu won't take any more needles and thread from you..."
