Chapter 230 Conversation between Huang Ling and Zhu Xiuyu
Huang Ling came back on the fourth day of the New Year. She was worried about the goods that had to be delivered for the Lantern Festival, so she went to the factory on the morning of the fifth day and then went home.
Many people came to pay New Year's greetings, and Zhu Xiu Yu accompanied Hong Bin to pay her New Year's greetings.
But the house was packed today with Zhou Huaiyi's comrades-in-arms and soldiers who used to work under him. Zhu Xiu Yu and Hong Bin sat for a while and then prepared to go back.
"I'll take you there." Huang Ling stood up.
"No need, sister. You have a room full of guests."
"It's okay, Director Zhou is here."
Others don’t know that when comrades come, they have nothing to do except to eat more food. They cook their own meals, wash their own dishes, and even clean every corner of the house.
Huang Ling then asked Tuanan to go with her.
The two children walked in front, and Huang Ling and Zhu Xiu Yu walked behind.
"I'm really sorry for not hosting you well today. I didn't expect Director Zhou and his brothers to come together." Huang Ling said politely.
"You're so polite. We're all family."
Huang Ling didn't respond.
Zhu Xiuyu added, "I'm a little presumptuous, but I mainly want to thank you."
"Come sit down for a while! I just want to get some fresh air. My head is buzzing with so many people in the room." Huang Ling raised her hand and invited Zhu Xiu Yu to the small garden on the side of the road. There were stone tables and stone benches there, and it was usually a place for the family members of the family compound to rest and enjoy the cool air.
Seeing the two men sitting down, Tunan and Hongbin also sat down on another stone bench not far away and talked about going to Xie Zheyu's house tomorrow.
Xie Zheyu called Tuanan early in the morning to tell him that he couldn't come today.
"Sister, the questions you gave Hongbin were quite difficult for him. But Tunan was really good and could do them easily."
"Sister Zhu, there's no need to beat around the bush with me. If you're honest with me, I'll actually be willing to talk to you." Huang Ling smiled.
Zhu Xiuyu was slightly startled, and then she continued:
"I think Tunan should have told you that Chaoying didn't want him to live with you, but I begged him..."
"No, Tunan didn't tell me that you asked him for help, but I know." Huang Ling interrupted her.
"I really have no way, but please believe me that I am not..." Zhu Xiu Yu decided to be honest.
"First of all, I want to correct you. You said you'll live with me for a while, not follow me. Actually, it doesn't matter. I have to thank you for this matter. Zhuang Chaoying is selfish and has low self-esteem. I knew he would stop me, but I'm not panicking at all. I know you will give me a push."
Zhu Xiuyu chuckled lightly: "It seems that I thought too much. I thought you would think that I wanted to drive Tunan away..."
Huang Ling shook her head. "What you're fighting for Hongbin is Zhuang Chaoying's fatherly love and tutoring time, which is actually what we don't need. So don't mind it, just use it."
Zhu Xiuyu looked at Huang Ling and stared at her blankly.
Huang Ling didn't finish her words. There was a second half to the sentence, but even though she didn't say it, Zhu Xiuyu knew it.
The reason why Huang Ling gave in was because Tuanan didn't need it. If it was something Tuanan needed or something that originally belonged to him, Zhu Xiuyu and Hongbin could not take it away.
She took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, I won't miss the things that originally belonged to Tunan."
Hearing Zhu Xiuyu's words, Huang Ling raised her chin: "Oh, then I'm not afraid."
"Let's talk about the topic. I have to admit that you've raised Hongbin well; he's a good boy. I gave him the topic to thank him for helping Xiaoting. If you think I'm just a fool with lots of money and a heart full of kindness, you're wrong. I'll repay a favor a hundredfold, and I'll be ruthless even if I make an enemy."
"So that's how it is." Zhu Xiu Yu was relieved.
Of course, she knew that Huang Ling was full of tricks, so her sudden attentiveness made her feel uneasy, fearing that she would fall into Huang Ling's trap. After this explanation, Zhu Xiu Yu felt relieved.
"I'm different from others. I don't envy my brothers and sisters for having a better life than me. On the contrary, I hope that they all live better than me. That way, no one will hold me back, and they can lend a hand if I have problems."
This time, it was Huang Ling who looked at Zhu Xiu Yu.
Zhu Xiu Yu felt a jolt in her heart. This was the real reason why Huang Ling wanted to help Hong Bin.
As long as Zhu Xiuyu does not divorce Zhuang Chaoying, Hongbin, Tunan and Pengfei are brothers, and Hongbin's good life will only benefit Tunan and Pengfei.
On the other hand, Huang Ling also reminded Zhu Xiu Yu not to think about dragging Tu Nan and Peng Fei down. Only when the two of them are doing well can Hong Bin do well.
Zhu Xiuyu has seen such things before.
This was the case with her aunt's two sons.
The eldest brother took over the job, but the second brother was not convinced and tried every means to report the eldest brother on a trumped-up charge. In the end, the eldest brother lost his job.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, the second son's wife fell seriously ill. Because they were not family members of factory employees, they had to pay for all the medical expenses themselves. The family could not raise the medical expenses, so the second son had to ask the eldest son for help, but the eldest son did not even let him in, and in the end the second son's wife could not be saved.
My aunt once cried to Zhu Xiu Yu, saying that the eldest son was kind-hearted. If the second son had not lost his job and made him feel disheartened, he would not have refused to lend the money, and his wife would not have died like that.
"Are you relieved?" Huang Ling asked.
Zhu Xiuyu nodded: "I understand. I...also, there is something else I want to ask you."
"Do you believe me?" Huang Ling did not agree but asked back.
"I believe it." Zhu Xiu Yu did not hesitate.
"Then ask me, and I will tell you everything I know." Huang Ling promised.
"I was fired from the factory." Zhu Xiu Yu took a deep breath and told Huang Ling.
"I know. It wasn't Tunan who told me. I knew it before him."
Zhu Xiuyu laughed self-deprecatingly: "I've forgotten your relationship with Director Lan. The day they fired me, I went to see Director Lan."
Huang Ling nodded:
"As long as you are not sucked dry by the banker, I think Zhuang Chaoying can support you! What's more, you are a hardworking person and it is no problem for you to earn a living." At this time, Huang Ling's tone was sincere and a little appreciative.
Hearing Huang Ling's tone, Zhu Xiuyu became bolder and said bluntly:
"I want to set up a breakfast stall, steam buns, and cook some eight-treasure porridge or something like that."
"Wow! Sure! How about you set up the place in front of the gate of the second factory? People from our factory can come there every day. There are quite a few workers in the second factory, so the business won't be bad." Huang Ling was very interested.
Zhu Xiuyu was stunned for a moment when she saw Huang Ling's reaction, but her heart was at ease, so she asked:
"You know a lot. I want to ask about the self-employed license. Do you need a store to get one? If you don't have one, will you be arrested as an illegal resident?"
"You've asked the right person." Huang Ling smiled at her and began to explain the policy to her, including the conditions, documents and materials needed, where to apply, etc.
"Please wait a moment, I'm stupid and I want to write it down." Zhu Xiu Yu took out a small notebook and a pen.
Huang Ling nodded in agreement, and Zhu Xiu Yu memorized it bit by bit.
She was not in a hurry and waited patiently for Zhu Xiuyu to finish writing a sentence before continuing.
"Sister Huang Ling, thank you so much for taking up so much of your time." Zhu Xiu Yu put away the notebook and said embarrassedly.
"It's okay. If you need money, I can invest."
Hearing Huang Ling's words, Zhu Xiu Yu was stunned again.
"You get seven and I get three." Huang Ling added.
Zhu Xiuyu smiled and said, "How could my small business be of any use to you? I still have enough money to open a small stall. Thank you."
"Okay then."
Huang Ling and Tuanan escorted the two out of the military family compound.
