Without Chen Ru even saying the name, Wen Ying knew that the person who made Chen Ru angry was Shu Lu.
Oh no.
Shu Lu is Lao Wen's relative, so to put it simply, Lao Wen himself offended Manager Chen. Feeling safe, Wen Ying felt completely at ease and became a spectator.
Wen Dongrong was screaming in his heart, "It's over, it's over!" He was making excuses very quickly, even more angry than Chen Ru. "What is she trying to do by blocking the entrance of my sister-in-law's shop? I'll go over there myself after dinner—"
He glanced at Wen Ying as he spoke, and seeing the expression of gloating on Hei Xinmian's face, Old Wen said indignantly: "You come with me too."
Wen Ying resisted, "Why should I do that? Do you want me to fight Shu Lu right now?"
Chen Ru thought about it and called Wen Ying over. "Let's all go take a look. It would be best if we could help your aunt solve this problem. This fruit shop actually belongs to your uncle. We invested some money because they didn't have enough capital. Before the capital was withdrawn, we still had a share in the shop. Shulu ruined our joint business."
Wen Ying is quite quick-witted. She showed her ability when dealing with Shu Guobing's real-name report on Wen Dongrong.
Compared to Wen Dongrong who likes to smooth things over, Chen Ru trusts Wen Ying more at this time.
"Okay, I'll go!"
Facing the calls from Lao Wen and Chen Ru, Wen Ying responded with completely different attitudes. This black-hearted cotton was almost torn into strips of cloth, but Wen Dongrong couldn't do anything about her, so she could only hold her anger.
After finishing the meal quickly, Wen Dongrong quickly cleaned up the dishes and the family went straight to Zhu Meiqun's fruit shop.
The fruit shop's customer base is residents of nearby communities and passers-by. Most fruit shops close at nine o'clock in the evening, but Zhu Meiqun will stay open until ten o'clock in order to do more scattered business.
It was just past eight o'clock when Wen Ying and her family of three arrived. Nearby residents who had gone out for a walk were returning home one after another and were crowding in front of Zhu Meiqun's fruit shop.
The autumn night was already cold, and Shu Lu was shivering at the door wearing a thin old shirt.
A kind-hearted person bought Shulu some bread and water. She ate it in small bites and looked like she had been hungry for a long time. She looked so pitiful!
Chen Ru tried to squeeze through the crowd to enter the store, but was stopped by Wen Dongrong.
"Don't worry, let's listen first."
When she didn't show up, Shulu only pestered Zhu Meiqun. Once she showed up, Shulu might have shifted her target.
Wen Dongrong has a proper job. If Shu Lu were to block him at the company gate like this, Wen Dongrong would explode just thinking about the scene.
Similarly, even though Hei Xin Mian has leaks everywhere, Wen Dongrong has to admit that Hei Xin Mian is now the face of the old Wen family. With Wen Ying's current fame, if she is recognized by the onlookers, it will be difficult for her to escape today!
Thinking of this, Wen Dongrong rarely felt guilty and told Wen Ying not to get out of the car. He and Chen Ru got out of the car first and watched the situation from a distance.
Wen Ying didn't talk back this time and nodded honestly: "Okay, I won't get out of the car. I can hear it from the car too, so you all be careful!"
The crowd was talking about it. Some people spoke up for Shulu, while others felt that Shulu's behavior was inappropriate.
"It's not a good idea for a girl like you to wait here. How are you going to contact your parents?"
"What's your relationship with the fruit shop owner?"
"I heard it was my aunt."
"Aunt? Why don't you take care of your niece?"
"...How can I take care of her? I can't. It's easy for me to say that. I can't support her by just giving her a bowl of rice. I have to pay for her education, tuition and living expenses, and daily expenses. All these are huge sums of money!"
Some people are used to being saints, while others are rational and consider reality.
Among the onlookers were Zhu Meiqun’s old customers. Zhu Meiqun was a man who never cheated on weights and was trusted by his old customers.
The fruit shop was doing very good business. Zhu Meiqun was so busy that she had to hire a handyman. One could tell that Zhu Meiqun made a lot of money.
But old customers didn't see Zhu Meiqun buy any new clothes or gold or silver jewelry to dress herself up. She still looked simple and plain as before. A woman like this who can endure hardships and earns money without spending it is simply the epitome of virtuous and dutiful!
So no matter how pitiful Shulu was, the onlookers did not unanimously help Shulu condemn Zhu Meiqun. On the contrary, some of Zhu Meiqun's old customers continued to explain Zhu Meiqun's difficulties to those who did not know the truth.
No matter what difficulties Shulu has, the first thing she should do is to ask her parents for help. If her parents can't solve it, there's still the government. Why would she come and block her aunt's store?
It's not easy for my aunt, a woman, to make money by running a small business. This has made it impossible for her to do business.
Those onlookers who say that the aunt should take Shulu home, it’s easy for them to talk, but why don’t they be kind enough to take her home themselves?
Wen Ying listened for a while in the car and almost wanted to laugh.
——I guess Shulu was also confused at this time. The script was written, but the plot did not go according to Shulu's plan.
The fruit shop was still open, but Zhu Meiqun did not show up. Several old customers who wanted to buy fruit became a little impatient and asked Shu Lu what she was trying to do.
Shu Lu began to sob again with her head down.
"I want to study... I just want to ask my aunt to borrow some money for my studies..."
Chen Ru, standing outside the crowd, felt her eyelids twitch when she heard this, her anger soaring rapidly. She cursed softly, "This is simply a dog-skin plaster. How shameless! Lending money is a personal choice. If she can't borrow money today, she will come to 'stand guard' tomorrow. Does sister-in-law still want to do business?"
Of course Zhu Meiqun has a few hundred thousand yuan.
Even if she has it, why would she lend it to Shulu?
Shu Lu has Shu Lu's parents. Shu Guobing is in jail and cannot support his family, but Wen Hongyan is not in jail.
You really can't blame Zhu Meiqun for being so cruel as to watch Shulu drop out of school. This is a bottomless pit. Just as the onlookers analyzed, after paying tuition, there are still living expenses. Raising another child is not a trivial matter, and no one can take on this responsibility for Zhu Meiqun.
If the relationship between relatives is good, it is okay to help one family when they encounter difficulties, provided that the relatives are willing to help.
Zhu Meiqun is unwilling to help now. Let alone a few hundred or a thousand yuan, she is unwilling to spend even a few dozen yuan on Shulu. This girl has evil intentions at such a young age. Zhu Meiqun will suffocate herself to death if she is forced to spend money.
Many times, Zhu Meiqun wanted to have a good talk with Shulu, but Shulu would burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth. Zhu Meiqun couldn't yell at Shulu in the street like she did to Wen Hongyan.
The two sisters-in-law got along well, and since Uncle Wen Ying couldn't make it in time, Zhu Meiqun notified Chen Ru.
Chen Ru hates evil and is eager to teach Shu Lu a lesson, but is held down by Wen Dongrong.
"No, no, we can't show up. Wait a minute, I'll go away and call my sister-in-law. I'll teach him how to deal with it!"
Wen Dongrong dragged Chen Ru aside.
Before Wen Dongrong could make any move, a young man in the crowd walked up to Shu Lu.
"You just want to borrow money for school? Which school do you go to? How are your grades? If you really want to study but can't afford it, I can help you."
Wen Ying leaned her head out of the car window with her hands. She didn't recognize the wrong person.
——The young man was actually Song Shao!
