Chapter 546 Jealousy



While Nuannuan and Gu An were helping to clean up the messed up furniture, Grandma Huo, who had gone to the bedroom, came out holding a handkerchief wrapped in something and a wooden box.

She stood in front of Nuannuan and Gu An, handed the wooden box to Gu An, and with her wrinkled old fingers, she trembled as she slowly opened the handkerchief that had faded from washing, revealing the layers of money wrapped inside.

Each bill was neatly flattened before being put into the package. The largest denomination was fifty yuan, and there were many one-yuan and fifty-cent bills stacked together.

"Grandma, I don't have much money here. I'll return it to you first. I remember that there is 1,357 yuan here. In the small box is the 2,000 yuan that Changfeng gave me. I've saved it all. We'll slowly save up the money and return it to you."

It was unknown how long the old man had kept the money. Seeing this scene, not only Huo Changfeng's eyes turned red, but Nuannuan and Gu An also felt very uncomfortable.

"grandmother."

Huo Changfeng held the old man's hand, and Gu An returned the small box in his hand to the old man.

Huo Changfeng said firmly, "Don't worry, grandma. I will definitely pay it back in the future."

Gu An sniffed and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandma Huo. We are not in a hurry to ask Huo Changfeng to pay back the money."

Grandma Huo: "If I give it a little more, Changfeng will feel more relaxed."

Huo Changfeng - "It's okay, grandma. I will study hard from now on and find a good job in the future and I will be able to pay it back soon."

“Okay, okay…”

When Grandma Huo heard her grandson say that he wanted to study hard, she was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes.

When I left the Huo family, I suddenly noticed that there were a lot of people standing outside their house, looking around.

Some of them truly care about their neighbors, but of course there are also people with bad intentions.

"This is Changfeng's classmate. He is truly a rare talent. Hello, everyone. I am Changfeng's neighbor."

A fat lady who was very familiar with others came up to her with an overly enthusiastic and flattering smile on her face and wanted to grab Nuannuan's hand.

As for why I chose Nuan Nuan? Of course it was because the little girl looked easy to talk to.

However, before the fat lady could get close, the Gu family's bodyguard and driver stood in front of their young lady and looked at her unfriendlyly.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

The fat lady withdrew her hand with an embarrassed look on her face and dared not do it again.

"Nothing, just getting to know each other."

Huo Changfeng's face turned a little dark - "Auntie Zhu, my classmates are leaving."

Then he protected Nuannuan and Gu An and left.

Seeing the person leave, Aunt Zhu, who felt humiliated, finally looked disgraced.

"Bah, what a thing, you are so proud of yourself just because you climbed up the high branch."

Although she said this, she really wished it was her own son who got along well with those two rich kids.

"Anyone who can hang out with a bad kid like Huo Changfeng must not be a very good student."

When he was around, she didn't dare to say anything or even turn her face away, but when he left, she became unbridled.

Everyone is used to her personality.

"Auntie Zhu, you are jealous, right? Changfeng is so good and filial, how can you not have a good child?"

Aunt Zhu immediately responded sarcastically: "Filial piety? Would a filial piety send one's own father to a place like that? I think this is simply a cruel and heartless act."

Those who were close to Grandma Huo couldn't stand it any longer - "Do you want a father like Huo Dashan?"

Aunt Zhu choked. Let alone her, just ask who among those present who wishes their father was like Huo Dashan.

She was still unforgiving and swearing.

It's just out of jealousy.

In fact, many people are jealous. Many people sympathized with the Huo family's previous situation. But now seeing Huo Changfeng getting in touch with the children of rich families, the previous sympathy has turned into jealousy.

After all, not many people in this world want others to live better than themselves. Especially when someone who was previously worse off than you suddenly turns around and is about to live better than you, you will feel even more unbalanced.

After Nuannuan and Gu An left, although the Huo family owed a large amount of foreign debt, Huo Changfeng completely let go of the stone in his heart and even felt unprecedented relief.

As soon as he got home, he picked up his old books and started studying.

After Nuannuan and Gu An returned home, they told their family members about the situation of the Huo family in detail.

After Gu Nan came back, he told the two children what he had found out to reassure them. However, he was not a talkative and dull person, so he brought his assistant Nan Feng back with him.

"Brother Hu's original name was Li Hu. He dropped out of high school because he was not good at studying. Now he runs a bar with a group of brothers. He will lend money to others. But the interest rate is only slightly higher than that of the bank. He is a man of brotherhood and integrity. He will definitely do what he promised. It is very likely that Huo Changfeng's father will be arranged by him to work as a laborer in a coal mine, which is quite far from here.

Those who cannot afford to borrow money from him will be thrown into the coal mines, where they will be paid until they pay back the money. However, Huo Dashan's situation is special, and he probably won't be able to get out in the future, but he can earn a living there by his own labor."

Such a result is good for everyone, except Huo Dashan himself, who may feel that there is no point in living.

Gu Linmo raised his eyebrows with interest after reading the investigation data - "This Li Hu is also a figure."

He dropped out of high school and had no education, but he relied on his brute force and natural coordination ability to gather a group of people and create his own business. He also never did anything illegal or criminal. This is really rare.

"I want to hire him as a bodyguard for the Gu family."

Li Hu is big and skilled, and he is very powerful even without any formal training.

Gu Nan coughed and said in a faint voice, "He doesn't want to."

Father Gu raised his eyebrows and looked at him - "What? You tried it?"

Nan Feng pushed his glasses with his fingers. "Young Master has this idea, so I asked Li Hu. He said that if it were him, he would be willing to do it. But he has people under him now, and he has to be responsible for them."
