Wu Ruixue looked at the two of them in a panic, her mind racing as she tried to figure out why Lin Yifeng and his group had come looking for her.
What she couldn't understand even more was how Lin Yifeng and the others knew where she lived.
Seeing Wu Ruixue's flustered appearance, Zhang Guochen quickly tried to comfort her.
"We didn't come here for the prize money."
"We're mainly here to see you."
Wu Ruixue blinked, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Looking for me?
"What do you want from me?"
This question completely stumped Zhang Guochen.
He didn't know what to say, so he could only keep casting pleading glances at Lin Yifeng.
Lin Yifeng looked at Wu Ruixue in front of him, a faint smile on his face.
"Don't panic, we, the organizers, are here to verify your specific information."
"After all, you are still a minor. If we want to distribute funds, we can't just send them directly to you."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ruixue's expression changed drastically, and she anxiously questioned Lin Yifeng.
"Can't you just give it to me directly? Do I have to be accompanied by an adult?"
Seeing Wu Ruixue's reaction, the three became even more certain that Wu Ruixue was definitely going to use the money to help with household expenses.
Lin Yifeng and the others exchanged glances.
Wu Ruixue was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes. She knew very well that once her family found out about this, her philandering father would definitely take the money away.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Guochen also looked troubled. He turned to look at Lin Yifeng, wanting to hand over the prize money to Wu Ruixue right now.
On the contrary, Lin Yifeng remained very calm.
"That's right, we need to follow the procedures."
Hearing this, Wu Ruixue became even more anxious and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Just then, Lin Yifeng changed the subject and pretended to take out a notebook from his pocket.
"I'd like to ask when your family members will be back?"
"As long as there is an adult present to witness it, we can distribute the bonus normally."
"Take a look and see when you have time."
Wu Ruixue was slightly taken aback.
As she estimated the time, a look of joy appeared on her face.
Seeing the change in her expression, Lin Yifeng also revealed a meaningful smile.
He knew very well that a smart girl like her would be able to figure out that the person who went home first must be her mother.
As long as she gets around her father and brother, Wu Ruixue will definitely be able to handle this money.
Wu Ruixue nodded repeatedly.
"immediately!"
"My mom will be back soon!"
"Please wait a moment, come and sit in my house for a while."
Greeted by Wu Ruixue, the group entered the courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, Zhang Guochen felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing the condition of the small courtyard.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these courtyards are warm in winter and cool in summer these days. Wu Ruixue's house is different. The dilapidated house has several holes, and the leaks in the windows have not been repaired.
These are things that the adults in the family would normally do, but unfortunately they ended up with a father like that.
On the contrary, Wu Ruixue kept the yard very tidy. There was a thatched shed outside the house, which was probably where Wu Ruixue's mother parked her breakfast tricycle.
In addition, empty wine bottles were scattered all over the corners of the house.
It's estimated that Wu Ruixue's family earned so much money, after covering daily expenses, that any extra money went to her bastard father for drinking and gambling.
Although the family was poor, Wu Ruixue did not look down on them. Instead, she moved the few small stools that were in the house to the yard so that Lin Yifeng and the others would have a place to rest.
During the process, Xu Qingyi also helped move things, but after returning from Wu Ruixue's room, Xu Qingyi's face turned very ugly.
Zhang Guochen lowered his voice and asked.
"What's wrong, Qingyi?"
Xu Qingyi looked at Wu Ruixue, who was busy not far away, and muttered to herself with a complicated expression.
"The room is full of certificates of merit."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guochen gasped in shock.
Xu Qingyi didn't finish speaking. He also noticed that several certificates of merit were already tattered and torn, but he had painstakingly glued them back to their original state with tape.
For Wu Ruixue, this may be her last moment of pride.
The group waited inside for a while, and soon the sound of a tricycle chain creaking came from outside the courtyard.
Upon hearing this noise, Wu Ruixue's face lit up with joy.
"My mom's back!"
"Uncle, please wait a moment!"
This title stopped Lin Yifeng and the others from their tracks.
"uncle?"
Xu Qingyi blinked and looked back at Lin Yifeng.
Lin Yifeng shook his head, both amused and exasperated.
Considering their actual ages, they were probably only about five years older than Wu Ruixue, so calling her "uncle" was undoubtedly a blow to the three of them.
A short while later, the middle-aged woman appeared at the entrance to the courtyard.
She struggled to push the tricycle, which was laden with various tables, chairs, and benches, up the dirt slope, while Wu Ruixue helped her mother from behind.
Although she only had one arm that she could move, Wu Ruixue leaned her whole body against the tricycle and tried her best to push it into the yard.
"In blue robes."
Lin Yifeng lowered his voice and gestured.
Xu Qingyi also hurriedly got up to help. With the help of this young and strong man, the car was quickly driven into the courtyard.
Yin Hong stared blankly at the three somewhat familiar faces in the courtyard.
Her breakfast stall doesn't usually have many customers; most of them are regulars.
She already remembered the appearance of Lin Yifeng and his two companions very clearly, and now that three guests had come to her door, Yin Hong was clearly at a loss.
