Chapter 290 You Must Repay the Favor
Zhuang Chaoying and Zhu Xiuyu had another argument about where to spend New Year's Eve.
Zhu Xiu Yu wanted to spend the New Year at home, and she wanted to bring her aunt over to spend the New Year with her.
Mainly because something happened to her aunt before the New Year, she came up with this idea.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, Zhu Xiu Yu's aunt was beaten by her uncle and was sent to the hospital. When Zhu Xiu Yu heard the news, she hurriedly took Hong Bin to see the doctor.
My aunt was lying alone in the hospital bed, without even anyone to take care of her.
Her eldest son lost his job because of his younger brother's report. In a fit of anger, he took his wife and children to another place to make a living and never returned for many years.
Her youngest son never remarried after his wife died. He couldn't get a room as a temporary worker, so he lived with his son and parents. His cousin is in the second grade of junior high school this year.
At this moment, there was no uncle, cousin or nephew to be seen.
Zhu Xiuyu felt a little guilty. She knew that her aunt was beaten because of her.
When my aunt and uncle heard from their youngest son that Zhu Xiu Yu had opened a large food store in Yue Sheng and made a lot of money every month, my uncle came to visit.
That is the peak business time in the afternoon when people are getting off work.
At first, Zhu Xiuyu was very happy. While greeting the guests, she said to her uncle:
"Uncle, are you here to buy something? I'll save some food for you when you're done shopping. You can take it back and eat it."
"I came to see you." My uncle said bluntly.
Zhu Xiu Yu understood that this person was here to cause trouble. When they were poor, they were afraid that she would be a burden and never took the initiative to look for her. Now that he came here on his own initiative, it must be no good.
"Okay, wait for me." Zhu Xiu Yu still said with a smile, and then continued to greet the guests.
After sending all the customers away, she walked outside the stall, closed the door, locked it, put up a sign saying "The owner is not here, please wait a moment", then stood in front of my uncle and said:
"Come on, let's go outside and talk. This is where other people do business."
My uncle followed Zhu Xiu Yu outside the department store, took out a hand-rolled cigarette and started smoking.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Xiuyu asked.
"You are the big boss now and have made a fortune!" My uncle looked back at the store.
"How can you make a fortune with this small business? I borrowed money to open the shop, and I haven't even paid off all my debts."
At this point, Zhu Xiu Yu thought about the 200 yuan she had withdrawn from Zhuang Chaoying's account that she had not yet made up for. She had to find time to make up for it, so that he wouldn't have to come and check one day.
"How much money can you earn in a month?" My uncle obviously didn't believe it.
"It's a loss. Why are you asking?"
"Of course I'm here to ask for living expenses! You've lived in our house for so many years and I've never asked you for a penny! Shouldn't you have given it to me? Before your husband died, I didn't want to ask for it because you were an orphan and a widow. Now that you're a boss, you should settle the bill." My uncle's voice got louder after just a few words.
"Keep your voice down, or you'll be in trouble." Zhu Xiu Yu pointed at the sign on the wall.
My aunt's father could read and there was a bronze plaque above his head that showed how advanced he was.
"Leaders from the Industrial Bureau and the Commercial Bureau come to inspect our work from time to time," Zhu Xiu Yu reminded.
"I'm not doing anything bad, so what am I afraid of? Hurry up! I don't ask for much. From twelve to sixteen, four years, two hundred a year, a total of eight hundred." My uncle counted on his fingers.
Huang Ling happened to be squatting at the doorway downstairs looking at the discounted goods displayed outside the gate. She heard the conversation between the two, so she stood up and said:
"Old man, you're so bold! Ask yourself, could you earn 200 yuan a year in that era? Could your entire family earn 200 yuan a year? If you don't want to be shameless, just throw it into the Xuanmiao Temple and use it as a staircase. Thousands of people will step on it and maybe it will help you accumulate some virtue. I hope I can earn 200 yuan a year in my next life so that I don't have to rely on bullying women to make money!"

Zhu Xiu Yu looked back at Huang Ling and felt relieved.
"Sister Yu, I want to eat fried fish, but Deputy Director Zhou doesn't know how to cook it." Huang Ling continued.
"Also, I'll help you install it later." Zhu Xiu Yu responded.
It turned out that his uncle was also a worker in the factory. As soon as Huang Ling stuck his head out, he knew that this person was not easy to mess with. When he heard that she was the deputy director's wife, he dared not mess with her even more. However, he did not want to miss this opportunity, so he lowered his voice and continued:
"I don't care. You have to pay me for such a big favor! Besides, I heard from your aunt that Hongbin is going to college, so he will make a lot of money in the future! You don't need it, but we do!"
Zhu Xiuyu said weakly:
"Uncle, honestly, I gave you more than 800 yuan! I paid it back a long time ago!"
My uncle was speechless.
Zhu Xiu Yu started working very hard when she was sixteen, and she paid money every month to repay her uncle's kindness. With the money, her uncle would be in a good mood and would not fight with her aunt.
Later, when he got married at the age of 18, he asked Hongbin's father for money several times. When Zhu Xiuyu found out, she asked Hongbin's father not to buy any wedding items so that he could save money to fill the hole he had dug.
After getting married and starting a family, I would give them some money every year until Hongbin's father passed away.
Because he asked his aunt not to have any more contact with Zhu Xiu Yu, for fear of being implicated by her, an orphan and a widow.
At this moment, seeing that Zhu Xiu Yu was living well, he jumped out again.
"I don't care. Anyway, I have no money to spend now, so you have to give me money." He was determined to get the money.
At this time, Hongbin came to pick up Zhu Xiu Yu.
When my uncle saw Hongbin, he smiled and said, "Here comes the college students! Come and teach your mother what filial piety is! Ask her if she should repay my kindness! If you don't know, I'll ask your teacher, your principal!"
Hong Bin probably understood what was going on. He didn't say anything, but just stood silently in front of Zhu Xiu Yu as usual.
When Zhu Xiu Yu saw her son coming and heard her uncle's words, she gritted her teeth.
After a while, she whispered:
"How about this, Uncle, I'll send it to you in the evening."
"Mom!" Hongbin grabbed Zhu Xiu Yu.
Zhu Xiuyu patted her son's hand and shook her head.
Only then did my uncle leave with satisfaction.
"Mom! I can't agree to this. It will cause trouble in the future." Hongbin said anxiously.
"Mom knows what to do. Leave it to me. This is not the first day I've been dealing with him." Zhu Xiu Yu's expression returned to normal when she saw her son.
When they turned around, they saw Huang Ling leading several department store security guards standing not far away.
She said gratefully: "In addition to the fried fish, don't you like to eat some chicken feet?"
"Okay." Huang Ling nodded.
While Zhu Xiuyu was packing the food, Huang Ling said to the security guards, "Do you recognize this guy?"
"Sister Ling, don't worry, I recognize it."
Another customer came, and Zhu Xiu Yu hurriedly asked Hong Bin to pack the food and send it to Huang Ling. Huang Ling is now her monthly client, and sometimes she also provides customized services.
Huang Ling saw Hong Bin's worried face and said to him, "Don't worry, your mother can handle this little thing."
Hong Bin nodded and pointed to a small lunch box.
"Aunt Huang, that's pickled radish for Aunt Huailan. Mom said to let her try it and see if she can eat it. Mom pickled it specially for her. If it's suitable, she can pickle it again or tell Uncle Zhou the method."
"That's great! She's almost finished trying all the pickled radishes in Suzhou City. If she can't find anything that suits her taste, she won't be able to eat anymore. She'll be vomiting her gallbladder."
Zhou Huailan could not live in the new house for the time being. She recently found out that she was pregnant and had severe morning sickness. The new house required climbing stairs and was far from the cotton mill, so everyone unanimously decided to live in Zhou's house for the time being.
Considering that she now vomits when she drinks water, she cannot go to Changzhou this year.
