Chapter 432 Zhuang Chaoying's Despair 1
"Teacher Zhuang, I think neither you nor I can trust each other." Zhu Xiu Yu said bluntly.
"Xiu Yu... put the money away first, and let's have a good talk. Otherwise, my money will be gone tomorrow. You are smart and you will definitely not go against money, right!" Zhuang Chaoying pleaded.
He originally thought that Zhu Xiu Yu would be very happy if he gave her the money, but he didn't expect that she would refuse to accept it.
Seeing that Zhu Xiuyu didn't move, Zhuang Chaoying took the money, then opened Zhu Xiuyu's pillow and bedding, put the money under the pillow, and restored the pillow and bedding. He said:
"Come on, let's talk outside."
After saying that, he walked out on his own.
Zhu Xiu Yu frowned, but had no choice but to follow him out.
The two walked to the stone bench at the entrance of the alley and sat down. Although the convenience store across the alley was closed, some light was shining through the crack in the door, so it must not have closed yet.
Zhuang Chaoying stared at the light in a daze.
"Hurry up and tell me! I'm very tired after a day of work." Zhu Xiu Yu urged.
"I know you all think I did something wrong, but..."
"Teacher Zhuang, as long as you think it's okay, then go ahead. But even the children have made this clear to you, so if you have any problems in the future, please don't bother them.
Also, if you think it's right, just continue to be a filial son. Don't expect others to understand you. Sorry, we can't understand you."
Zhu Xiu Yu only had the children in her mind. Although she told him not to trouble the children, Zhu Xiu Yu knew that Zhuang Chaoying would always be a trouble to the children. She couldn't help but feel more disgusted in her heart, and her tone was not good at all.
"I know you can't understand, and I don't want to seek your understanding anymore. I know what kind of people my parents are. How could I not know what you are talking about, but I..."
"Stop talking and get down to business! It's unlucky to mention them! Let's talk about money." Zhu Xiu Yu interrupted him.
"I've made it very clear just now. The money is given to you. You can use it or give it to the children. Oh, the children I'm talking about include Hongbin. My words that day hurt him. I'm too embarrassed to see him. I don't know if he has forgiven me or not." Zhuang Chaoying said in a low voice.
Zhu Xiuyu smiled contemptuously:
"Teacher Zhuang, I'm not as smart as you, so I really don't understand what you mean. Then I'll tell you my guess, and then you can just tell me which one it belongs to, okay!
First, you have lost face and can no longer live in that alley, so you want to use the 1,500 yuan to buy back your place to live.
Second, if you give us this money, you will shut everyone up. We accused you of not taking care of the children and not giving them money. Now that you have given it, no one can say anything about you anymore. You are still the respected teacher Zhuang.
Third, your parents asked you to bring this 1,500 yuan to show goodwill. Their purpose was to gain our trust and make preparations for the return of the third child. For example, they could arrange a job for me at Suihua Building or let him rely on the children.
Zhuang Chaoying looked at Zhu Xiuyu with a look of despair in his eyes.
Zhu Xiuyu continued:
"I've thought of the answer for you. If it's the first one, then it's free, just wait another six months. You can move back in after Pengfei goes to college. I only have one room in this house, so I'll only take care of mine. We can discuss our affairs then. Everything now is for Pengfei.
Second, I won't take that money. If I can buy back family affection with 1,500 yuan, isn't that too cheap?
As for the third item, I will definitely not want it. I am stupid, but A Ling is not stupid! Zhuang Lao San had better not get involved with any of us, otherwise, he will have to go to jail again.
Teacher Zhuang, have I made myself clear?"
Zhuang Chaoying didn't answer for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly:
"If I say it's neither, you won't believe me, Xiuyu."
"It's not a matter of belief or disbelief. Just tell me." Zhu Xiu Yu didn't believe there was anything else.
"But you guessed right, it is indeed related to them." Zhuang Chaoying bent down, rested his elbows on his thighs, clasped his hands together, and lowered his head, as if he was very tired.
Zhu Xiu Yu didn't say anything else, but just listened to him.
"I'm writing books to make money. Yesterday I went to the library and read materials all day. I was so tired that I didn't call them when I came back. I only heard them talking after I entered the house. Oh, it was my mom and dad who said they wanted me to invest in a small store. It's over there in the alley. There are several families like Yiming's who have windows on the wall facing the street."
Zhu Xiuyu sneered.
They knew that Zhuang Chaoying would achieve this little in his life, and that all he could earn was a meager salary.
Moreover, they knew Tunan's thoughts from the incident of Zhuang Chaoying beating Tunan. Tunan is not the second Zhuang Chaoying. They cannot control his mind or morally blackmail him, and he has a powerful mother.
Even if Tuanan works as a cadre, earning hundreds of dollars a month, they will not get any benefits.
These days, Zhuang Chaoying, who has suffered multiple blows, has changed his words and actions. He mentions the third brother in every sentence, and speaks in a sarcastic tone, so the two old men are ready to act in advance.
This would prevent them from being left with nothing if Zhuang Chaoying woke up from being scolded one day.
Mother Zhuang was very smart. She knew how much money Zhuang Chaoying spent every month, so she also knew how much money Zhuang Chaoying had saved.
When Zhuang Chaoying heard that he was asked to invest money to open a store, he didn't feel anything until he heard what his mother said next.
Zhuang's mother said:
"Chaoying has saved at least a thousand yuan. He can definitely open a shop as big as the one at the alley entrance. I'll talk to Chaoying nicely, and he won't refuse. He's shy and cares about face. It's a matter of face for his family to open a shop. He can't refuse."
Zhuang's father muttered: "Zhu...Zhu Xiuyu..."
"You're afraid that if we take Chaoying's money, Zhu Xiuyu will cause trouble!" Zhuang's mother understood what Zhuang's father meant.
Mr. Zhuang nodded.
Zhuang's mother snorted coldly, "You know what that woman is up to. When she finds out we've spent all of Chaoying's money, she'll be so angry she'll divorce him! Anyway, we can't spend Zhu Xiuyu's money, and we can't count on her to take care of her. It's better to divorce her so we don't spend the eldest brother's money."
Zhuang's father responded with a "wuwu" sound, indicating his agreement.
"Think about it, if they get divorced, can't they kick Zhu Xiuyu and her son out? Then Chaoying can get the house, and rent it out later, which will bring in another income."
"Who... does the work... for me..."
"I know. You have Lao Zhao there! I've recovered well now. I can definitely sit and look after the store. Let Chaoying do the lifting and loading when he comes back, or you can hire a helper for ten dollars. This way, the store can be open for more than a year. When Ganmei comes back and she's familiar with everything, she can take over directly.
From now on, Chaoying will be paid for purchasing goods every month. He can take as much as he can. We will just give him dividends in the future. If there is a loss, he will pay for it. If there is a profit, we will say that he did not make any profit. He has a simple mind and cannot see things that clearly.
Once I make some money in the US, it won't be hard to find a wife. Even if I can't have a stable job, I still need money."
