Chapter 543: Sure enough, I went to Wuxi
Zhu Xiu Yu is now accustomed to consulting Huang Ling on all major matters.
She talked about Hongbin first.
Hongbin went to Shuyun's house before, and the Zheng family was very satisfied with Hongbin.
Huang Ling's original intention of asking Hongbin to go a day earlier was to see the Zheng family's reaction. If he was invited to attend the birthday party the next day, then everything would be fine.
Zheng Shuyun and Huang Ling said that there were relatives and friends at the birthday party, so Hongbin's presence would not be considered a nuisance.
After having dinner at Zheng's house, he played two games of chess with his future father-in-law. When he came back, he told Zhu Xiuyu that Director Zheng had asked him to attend the birthday party the next day.
At the party the next day, Director Zheng introduced Hongbin to his relatives and friends.
When she came back from Changzhou, Huang Ling was too busy, so Zhu Xiu Yu only gave her a general idea. Anyway, she told her that it was settled. Today, she told her the whole story in detail about what she had learned from Hong Bin.
"It must be said that Tunan had foresight to let his younger brothers learn to play Go or chess. It turns out that this was mainly for their father-in-law!" Song Ying's words put a different emphasis.
"Which one is that Zhehui?" Huang Ling asked, tilting her head.
"He doesn't need it. No matter what he does, he's no match for his father-in-law. His father-in-law knows his own limitations!"
After Song Ying finished speaking, she laughed and shook Huang Ling's arm vigorously.
Zhu Xiu Yu then told the two that Zheng Shu Yun proposed to come to Suzhou a few days ago, saying that the weather was good and their family wanted to visit the garden. Zhu Xiu Yu and Hong Bin knew that it was Zheng's family who wanted to visit the man's family.
She was a little panicked and came to ask what would be the most decent thing to do.
Song Ying patted her hands and said, "Why are you panicking? You meet so many leaders and bosses every day and you handle them with ease. Don't be afraid."
"It just feels different. My heart is pounding."
"Just treat them the same way you usually treat guests, you'll be fine." Huang Ling also comforted her.
"I'm not afraid of entertaining them. I just think it's better to entertain them in the new house. Our house is too crowded now. But that way, Zhuang Chaoying will also know about that house..." Zhu Xiu Yu whispered.
"I forgot about him." Huang Ling then remembered this person.
"You have to know it eventually. You have to know it when you get married." Song Ying said.
"Yes, just know it now. You can't deal with him yet. The new house is much better than where you are now. Shuyun's parents will be happy to see that you are prepared. Although you probably won't stay in Suzhou in the future, being prepared or not is another matter." Huang Ling also agreed.
Originally, Zhu Xiu Yu had been thinking about this matter over and over but couldn't make up her mind. But after hearing both of them suggesting this, she finally made up her mind.
"You don't live there permanently, so if you want to be at ease, just leave the key to us. We'll go and help you clean and arrange things in advance. This will save you the trouble of too many people knowing about it, and you won't have to run back and forth." Huang Ling added.
"Well, okay, let's open the door more often, with more people coming in and out, so that it will attract more people." Song Ying nodded quickly.
"I'm just afraid of troubling you. There's nothing to worry about! I can't thank you enough!" Zhu Xiu Yu hurriedly took out the key and handed it to the two of them.
"I have to sit at the main table." Huang Ling joked.
"Me too." Song Ying also said.
"Of course, I'll give you two that... that... that..."
"C position!" Huang Ling and Song Ying answered her at the same time.
Zhu Xiuyu took out her little notebook again and asked the two to help her look at the details. The three of them were very engaged in the conversation.
During this time, Lin Wufeng went to add water twice. When he came back the second time, he said to Zhou Huaiyi:
"All three of us have used our workbooks. We've just finished discussing Hongbin's girlfriend's visit. Now it's time to discuss Shanshan and Zheyu's wedding. I also heard our names mentioned, so I guess we'll have to make arrangements for our work as well."
"He definitely can't escape, we just have to follow orders." Zhou Huaiyi replied.
"It has nothing to do with me!" Li Yiming pointed at himself.
"I think you are dreaming. Aunt Huang, you don't know me, so you just haven't heard of your name. I think! The matter between Director Zhou and I is a matter of words, and yours is a list, so don't worry!" Lin Wufeng said to Li Yiming.
"That seems to be the case."
The three of them in the yard also laughed.
On the way back, Huang Ling, Zhu Xiu Yu and Zhou Huai Yi were together. They were not in a hurry today, so they did not drive but walked to the alley.
Zhou Huaiyi was walking a few steps behind the two of them.
Zhu Xiuyu then talked to Huang Ling about the banker's affairs.
It doesn't matter what Zhuang Ganmei does, but Zhu Xiuyu is afraid of the house. If he uses the house to pay off his debts, it will not be worth it. She has to find a way to get the house.
She talked about this house with Zhuang Chaoying and learned that although the house was located in the family quarters of the machinery factory, it was actually a private residence.
That's why Mrs. Zhuang tried so hard to keep it for the third son.
She did not ask Huang Ling's opinion on this matter. Huang Ling had already done enough for her, and she decided to do these things herself, which might require some tricks.
She also has Zhuang Chaoying's gun to use.
When I talked to Huang Ling about the banker's business today, I just knew that she would be worried.
Also, for some reason, after she had a few words with Huang Ling, she felt much calmer and more resolute.
Although she knew what to do about some things and had already made up her mind, she still wanted to talk to Huang Ling, even if it was just a phone call.
There were many things she couldn't tell Hongbin, nor could she tell Zhuang Hualin, let alone Zhuang Chaoying. She could only tell Huang Ling.
Huang Ling understands her better than anyone else.
"We guessed right. The old woman and Zhuang Ganmei went to look for Xu Daqing. First they went together, and then Zhuang Ganmei went twice more. I think he already knows his past."
"The neighbor aunt is very helpful!" Huang Ling was a little surprised.
Zhu Xiuyu nodded: "In the end, money is the most useful thing. People nowadays are greedy."
After Wei Zhixin was arrested, Su Xingyan helped to confirm that Zhuang Ganmei was going to fall into another big trap, and Huang Ling told Zhu Xiuyu.
At that time, they were also afraid that Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Hualin would take a tough stance and Zhuang Ganmei would have no choice but to sell the house, so they asked Zhu Xiuyu to keep an eye on it.
The two also thought that Zhuang's mother would eventually go to find Zhuang Ganmei's biological father Xu Daqing.
Zhu Xiu Yu didn't want to take up Su Xingyan's time, so she went to Wuxi in person.
She followed Huang Ling's method and found an aunt who lived in the same compound as Xu Daqing, and a security guard to act as a spy, and sure enough, she got the news.
------
That day, Zhuang's mother took out the iron box behind the bedside table and put it in the closet.
Before deciding to look for Xu Daqing, she once again went to look for Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Hualin.
This time, she did not go to Zhuang Chaoying's house, for fear that she would be driven away before she could even say a few words, so she asked a relative of the Zhuang family to invite Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Hualin to a teahouse.
When Zhuang Hualin went to borrow money from relatives a few days after the New Year, this relative happened not to be at home, so he "escaped the disaster". Later, only someone else mentioned it to him, meaning that he should not lend money to Zhuang's mother and others.
He asked specifically, and Zhuang's mother just said that she wanted him to help invite her son and daughter. They had some unpleasantness before, and she was worried that they would not want to come if she invited them.
This man was also a kind-hearted person. When he heard that it was not a loan, he agreed to Zhuang's mother's request.
Zhuang Chaoyingfei pulled Zhuang Hualin along.
Zhuang Hualin muttered, "I don't think it's any good."
"We'll leave if there's nothing good going on! I think it might be about his son. His son seems to be going to take the high school entrance exam this year, and he probably wants to come to our No. 10 Middle School." Zhuang Chaoying didn't expect that it was Zhuang's mother's arrangement.
Zhuang Hualin thought it was right.
The reason why he invited her was probably because he knew that the two siblings lived together and were all relatives. This person also called her cousin. It would not be good to invite only Zhuang Chaoying to have tea, so he asked Zhuang Chaoying to invite her.
"Brother, you decide for yourself. If you can help, then help. If you can't, don't agree. Don't try to be too hypocritical. Otherwise, if you can't get anyone into No. 10 Middle School and they come to our house, my sister-in-law will definitely be angry when she finds out." Zhuang Hualin instructed immediately.
"I know, I know." Zhuang Chaoying responded quickly.
The two went to the teahouse.
This teahouse is well chosen, close to the river. From the second floor, you can see the small bridge, flowing water and houses. The early summer breeze is blowing, which is very pleasant.
The man asked them to sit down, poured them tea, ordered some food, and then left.
The two thought he was going to buy cigarettes, but unexpectedly they saw Zhuang's mother coming over, which made them feel unhappy at all.
