"Sister, why are you asking this?" Wang Cuixiang was puzzled, but she still answered honestly, "Mingwu wants to do business. He heard from his roommates that Guangcheng seems to be interested in liberalizing its economy, and he wants to go and take a look this summer."
Wang Cuilan nodded, seemingly thinking about something.
The next morning, when Zhou Mingwu came to Wang Cuixiang's house, Wang Cuixiang asked about this matter.
Zhou Mingwu nodded in agreement. "Sister, Xiangxiang can't bear to leave you and wants to stay in the capital. I also think the capital will be beneficial to our future development, so I plan to buy a house in the capital, but..."
But buying a house is not that easy. With his current savings, it will probably take several years to buy a house.
Zhou Mingwu didn't want to wait that long. There happened to be someone from Guangcheng in their dormitory. He heard from him that things were gradually relaxing there recently and they could do some small business, so he planned to go over and take a look.
It would be best if you can make money, but if you can’t, it will at least give you some knowledge.
Seeing that Zhou Mingwu was not planning to go to Guangcheng on a whim but with a purpose and plan, Wang Cuilan did not say much but only reminded him to be careful.
"Sister, don't worry. I'm not going to Guangcheng alone this time. I'm going with several people. We're all young people who want to go to Guangcheng to broaden our horizons."
"Is it reliable?"
Zhou Mingwu nodded, "We are all family."
Before Wang Cuilan could react, Wang Cuixiang spoke up first, "Could those people you're talking about be from our Xinghua Village?"
Zhou Mingwu smiled and nodded.
Wang Cuilan said, "Since it's them, why don't you bring them home for a meal? Speaking of which, I haven't seen anyone from Xinghua Village other than Wang Ling since I arrived in the capital!"
Wang Ling, who had come to stay with her mother during the holidays, nodded as she heard this. "I haven't seen anyone from Xinghua Village in a long time."
"In that case, Mingwu, please take the trouble to ask them to come over for lunch at noon."
Zhou Mingwu shook his head. "I'm afraid not. We won't be going home for the time being, and the school doesn't allow overnight stays. They're trying to find a place to live right now."
Wang Cuilan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then they should come to my house. I have a lot of extra rooms, so they can stay wherever they want. Oh, Mingwu, you're also looking for a place to live, right? Why not just stay with them?"
"It's summer now, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold. You can just spread out a straw mat and sleep there, and you don't have to worry about not having enough quilts."
"Will this... be inconvenient?" To be honest, Zhou Mingwu was tempted.
Now that a large number of educated youth have returned to the city, it is really difficult to find a house. Now that my aunt has taken the initiative to let them live in the house, it is really difficult for Zhou Mingwu to refuse.
But he remembered that Xiangxiang often complained to him about how difficult it was to get along with his eldest aunt's mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and he was worried that moving in with his group would cause trouble for his eldest aunt.
Wang Cuilan didn't know Zhou Mingwu's concerns. When she heard Zhou Mingwu's question, she waved her hand generously, "No, no, there are plenty of rooms. You can just come and stay."
"The rent..."
"No rent required, you'll only be staying for a few days, why do you want rent? Who do you think I am?" Wang Cuilan interrupted Zhou Mingwu.
"That won't work. Big sister, we are already very grateful that you are willing to rent the house to us. If you don't ask for our rent, we will be embarrassed to live in your house ourselves."
Wang Cuilan still refused to ask for rent. Seeing Zhou Mingwu frown, she smiled and said, "Mingwu, don't think that I'm at a disadvantage by letting you live in my house. In fact, I should thank you."
Facing Zhou Mingwu's puzzled look, Wang Cuilan said, "Have you heard about the recent burglaries that have been making a lot of noise in the capital?"
Zhou Mingwu really knew this. After hearing what Wang Cuilan said, he realized the purpose of his aunt asking these young men to come to her house.
…
"Brother Wu"
"Brother Wu"
"Brother Wu"
“…”
At the entrance of the South City Scrap Station, seven or eight young men were sitting on the steps, with their heads hung down, weakly calling out to Zhou Mingwu.
Zhou Mingwu saw this and knew they hadn't found a house. He patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be depressed here. I found a house. Go back to school quickly, pack your things and follow me."
"Did you really find a house?" The teenagers jumped up and surrounded Zhou Mingwu.
Zhou Mingwu: "Is this true? Hurry up and go back to pack your things."
…
Here, Zhou Mingwu was urging the teenagers to pack up and prepare to move to Wang Cuilan's house.
In a room separated by a wall from Wang Cuilan's house, the Li family was also discussing "moving".
The woman with triangular eyes sitting at the main seat tapped her pipe and said to the people around her, "We've been out for so long this time, it's time to go home, otherwise it will be troublesome if we get caught."
"I mean, since it's student vacation and there's a lot of people, let's take the opportunity to do it on the train and then go home."
The others had no objection, but a man who was as thin as a monkey but had a gleam in his eyes said, "Mom, if you want to have sex on the train, why don't we just do it next door?"
The man's words were like a prelude. As he finished speaking, others also said, "Yes, mother, let's go to the one next door."
"We've all found out. The family next door only has a few women and children, and no men at home. It's a good opportunity to take action."
"More importantly, Mom, besides two women in their forties and fifties, the others next door are all young girls in their teens and twenties. They are very pretty and will definitely fetch a good price."
"Yes, yes, yes. And her three children, I heard they are plump and white. They will definitely fetch a good price."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, bullshit. Do you think I don't know the men next door are soldiers? What good can we get out of touching them?"
"You idiots, if you want to die, don't drag me along with you!" the woman with triangular eyes cursed.
"This..." The others choked and fell silent, not daring to say anything.
The monkey-like man rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "Mom, you can't say that. Mom, do you still remember the old Hong family?"
"Didn't his family kidnap a soldier's wife back then? I heard that man was even a battalion commander, but in the end, he couldn't do anything to the Hong family, right?"
The woman with the triangular eyes immediately glared at her third son and asked, "How can this be the same?"
"The Hong family was able to survive and even get a job in the city because of that person's help."
"Their family had a relationship with that person, so they were fine in the end. But our family doesn't have any relationship with that person."
The monkey-like man groaned, "Oh my god, do you really think that person is willing to help the Hong family because of the little affection between them?"
