Chapter 355 I Forgot I Had a Husband
On his day off, Dongzhe rode Grandpa Li’s tricycle and transported all the cloth given by his family to the "Nishang Garment Factory".
Pengfei happened to come to the factory to study, and when he left, he took away several sets of military green four-piece suits.
When Zhu Xiuyu returned home, Pengfei showed her the four-piece set.
The two looked at each other and then laughed out loud.
Pengfei patted the pile of sermons:
"You were saying yesterday that we were the only family in our alley that escaped the disaster and that we didn't have any sheets or clothes of this color. But today we have them. Fortunately, Aunt Huang didn't make clothes for me."
They lived in a house owned by a cotton mill, and their neighbors were all people from the cotton mill, so every household had this kind of cloth.
The situation was complicated because Zhuang Chaoying's house still had part of Hongbin's father's property in it. So before Zhuang Chaoying was transferred to No. 10 Middle School, No. 10 Middle School and the cotton mill coordinated and swapped the property, so they didn't have to move.
"Bed sheets are also good. This cloth was used by the army before. It is strong and durable, and it's pretty good." Zhu Xiu Yu twisted it, quite satisfied.
She is a down-to-earth person, and saving money and durability are her top priorities.
In the evening, Pengfei sat at the table studying, while Zhu Xiuyu was calculating something with her notebook.
Pengfei stood up to drink some water, then walked over to her desk and dimmed the light a little:
"Aunt, please turn up the light a little. This kind of light is bad for your eyes."
"I said my eyes hurt! Maybe I touched the knob while cleaning." Zhu Xiu Yu rubbed her eyes.
Pengfei put down the cup of water and went back to the kitchen. He then wrung out a hot towel and handed it to Zhu Xiuyu: "Aunt, cover yourself with it."
"You apply it first." Zhu Xiu Yu pushed the towel to Pengfei.
"This is your towel! I'll go wring out another one myself later." Pengfei pushed the towel back.
Zhu Xiu Yu had no choice but to cover her face with a towel.
Pengfei looked down and saw that Zhu Xiuyu's notebook contained a simple design drawing and some material data.
"You can calculate these materials and so on!" Pengfei took a look and found it quite complicated.
"You have to calculate carefully. Too much or too little is not good. It's not easy for your Aunt Huang to earn money." Zhu Xiu Yu said with a smile.
There was no ready-made restaurant to rent, so we rented a shop that was opened by breaking down the wall of a large factory. The water, smoke, and walls all needed to be renovated.
Zhu Xiu Yu cares about Huang Ling's money. Although she is calculating, she is not stingy. She spends when she should and saves when she should, and manages it properly, so Huang Ling is relieved.
Another advantage of renting a shop from a large factory is that you don’t have to worry about anything.
If you rent a private house, if they see that their restaurant business is doing well, there is a risk that they will raise the rent or even kick you out and take over the business themselves.
If it is a shop owned by a large factory, you don’t have to worry at all.
We have someone above us, so at least during the contract period, they dare not act rashly.
The restaurant is expected to officially open in September.
The trial operation is to hold Yueyue’s first birthday party.
Zhu Xiu Yu felt that her whole life was fulfilling and satisfying, and she seemed to have forgotten that she had a husband.
Suddenly one day, when she and Pengfei returned home, they saw the door was open. Her first reaction was that a thief had broken in, so she pushed Pengfei to signal him to get out of the way.
Pengfei seemed to understand Zhu Xiuyu's thoughts and whispered, "Aunt, it's my uncle, right?"
Only then did Zhu Xiu Yu remember Zhuang Chaoying.
When I entered the room, it was indeed Zhuang Chaoying.
When the two looked at each other, the difference between them became apparent.
Zhu Xiuyu was in high spirits, while Zhuang Chaoying looked listless.
"Uncle." Pengfei called first.
"Ah, Xiuyu, Pengfei." Zhuang Chaoying looked at the two of them.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Zhu Xiu Yu knew that he would not come to visit her unless he had something important to do, so she spoke frankly.
"I'm going to cook." Pengfei made an excuse to leave.
Zhuang Chaoying looked at Zhu Xiuyu and said with courage:
"It's been over two months. You should at least go back and take a look! I have to invite you!"
"That's it!" Zhu Xiu Yu chuckled.
"Yes, the neighbors all saw it, so why wouldn't they say anything... They all said this daughter-in-law is really cruel. Not only did she not come to take care of me, she didn't even bother to look at me..."
"Haha, just tell me. It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh. I don't value my face as much as Teacher Zhuang. I'm just a rough guy without any face, so it doesn't matter." Zhu Xiu Yu looked indifferent.
"You...Xiuyu, please..."
"You can't go. When they put the three children in danger, they are no longer three children but my elders! In my eyes, they are worse than pigs and dogs! It's good enough that I only slapped you a few times and didn't hit them!" Zhu Xiu Yu said fiercely.
Zhuang Chaoying lowered his head and was speechless.
Zhu Xiuyu continued:
"You should be thankful that A-Ling taught the children well, so they are fine. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous! Even in such a situation, you still want us to go and see them. Do you have the nerve to do that? Do you dare to tell the neighbors about the good things they did? If you tell them, go and ask them, will others still say we are heartless?"
Zhuang Chaoying shook his head: "It's not that serious..."
"It's not that serious!" Zhu Xiu Yu shouted and was about to step forward. Zhuang Chaoying quickly covered his face with his hands.
Zhu Xiuyu slapped him on the hand, causing it to burn with pain. Zhuang Chaoying quickly took several steps back.
"If any one of those three wasn't smart, you'd be doomed. It would be the same even if Tunan didn't sign the contract and your parents did. You'd never be able to pay off that debt. Now that nothing's happened, you're talking about it with ease. I think Sister Ling went easy on you!"
"Then you can report it to the police later!"
"If there's no one catching the stolen goods, then it's a dispute. Do you understand Teacher Zhuang? You've got a pig's brain! You idiot! And you said Tunan was the first one to come to you, but there's no point in calling you!"
Zhuang Chaoying knew very well that he was just quibbling. As Zhu Xiuyu said, anything was fine as long as there was nothing to worry about.
He thought so, and so did the two old men in the banker's shop.
Zhu Xiuyu was not polite at all:
"I can't believe you still don't realize your mistake. Damn it! You know that even if something goes wrong, A-Ling can help solve everything. After all, she can't just ignore these three children, right?" Zhu Xiuyu shook her head. "You're so incompetent and cowardly. I really despise you."
Zhuang Chaoying stared at Zhu Xiuyu in a daze.
"Go back now! The three of you should just live your lives well and don't bother us! I won't go see them, and neither will Pengfei. You're as disgusting as snot. You get your hands dirty after blowing your nose, and your clothes get dirty again when you wipe it on them! Disgusting! Disgusting! Get out!"
As she spoke, Zhu Xiu Yu pushed Zhuang Chaoying out.
Zhuang Chaoying stood in the yard and listened to Zhu Xiuyu say to Pengfei:
"Pengfei, just cook for the two of us. Your uncle has gone home!"
Pengfei responded: "Oh, I see!"
Zhuang Chaoying quietly left the house and met his neighbor Lao Sun in the alley.
"Director Zhuang, you're back! I heard from Sister Zhu that you went home to take care of your parents. You are such a filial son!" Old Sun gave him a thumbs up.
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. Pengfei can't study over there, and Xiuyu still has to go to work, so I have to let them stay here and I'll go take care of them." Zhuang Chaoying made an excuse.
"Yes, Sister Zhu is so good to Pengfei, you are so lucky!" Old Sun praised without hesitation.
Zhuang Chaoying looked back at his yard with mixed feelings.
