Chapter 259: Poverty breeds cunning schemes, wealth breeds conscience



When Zhou Mingli heard this, she quickly said, "Aunt, I'll accompany you to Beicheng. If you need to be hospitalized, I can still take care of you."

Zhou Lanzhi smiled faintly, "We live in Yuanzhou's place, there are only two rooms, which can't accommodate so many people."

Zhou Mingli didn't give up and said, "It's okay, I can sleep on the floor next to your bed."

Zhou Lanzhi sighed, "Yuanzhou usually sleeps on the floor next to my bed. You've been working hard for the past two months. Go back and spend some time with your family."

After saying that, he ignored her and started chatting with Li Qiumei while eating.

Li Qiumei saw Zhou Mingli constantly picking up food for He Jun, "Brother Jun, our Hongbo said that his girlfriend's company hasn't paid her salary for two months, and she doesn't want to work anymore.

See if you can let her work in your company. If you two work together, you can take care of each other."

He Jun sighed, "Hey, didn't I tell you?

This company is not opened by me, but by my friend.

His business is not doing well this year, and he doesn't know if he can make it to the end of the year.

If Hongbo is even likely to be laid off, how can the company possibly hire more people?"

Zhou Mingli looked at him suspiciously, "Then where do you open your company?"

He Jun became impatient, "Who said I started a company?

I made a little money doing some decoration work for others, so I hurried back to see my mother.

When my mother gets better, I'll have to go out and find work."

Zhou Mingli muttered quietly, "That's not right. He's building a house and hiring a nanny, so how could he not start a company?"

While Zhou Mingli went to the kitchen to add more food, He Jun gave his mother a thumbs up.

"Mom, I'm glad I listened to you. Otherwise, I'd be in such a mess now. All these relatives are clamoring for help. What should I do?"

After dinner, Li Qiumei left first. Zhou Lanzhi had plenty of ways to get rid of Zhou Mingli.

A week later, He Yuanzhou called Li Qiumei to invite her to his house for dinner.

Following the address given by He Yuanzhou, Li Qiumei came to a newly built residential area. It seemed that He Jun bought a house here.

The house is a townhouse, and He Yuanzhou's is the end house.

Zhou Lanzhi was sitting in the garden. "Qiu Mei, come in quickly."

He Yuanzhou ran out in slippers, "Aunt, you're here, where's Yuanbao?"

Li Qiumei handed the gift in her hand to He Yuanzhou, "Yuanbao didn't come back."

The living room was decorated even more luxuriously. Li Qiumei pulled Zhou Lanzhi to sit on the sofa and said, "Yuanzhou, do you want me to help you cook?"

"Need not."

"No need." The grandfather and grandson said in unison.

"Qiu Mei, He Jun hired a nanny from outside to take care of me, and the nanny is already cooking in the kitchen.

Alas, I have come to terms with it. I gave birth to him and raised him, so it is only right that I spend some of his money."

It seems that the old saying that poverty breeds evil schemes and wealth breeds consciences is absolutely true.

Even He Jun is filial to his mother.

Li Qiumei asked Zhou Lanzhi, "Will Yuanzhou also move in with you?"

Zhou Lanzhi nodded. "Yuanzhou works three shifts in the workshop. He lives in the apartment in the living area during his off-shift. He comes to live with us on weekdays."

The two talked about Zhou Mingli again, "Alas, I was right, it's easy to invite a deity but hard to send it away.

Mingli is shameless than the city wall and insists on following me into the city.

Later, they gave her an extra month's salary before sending her away.

Now I understand that if you want a nanny, you still have to go through a housekeeping company. If you don't want one, you can just tell the company directly. There won't be so many complications."

While we were eating, He Jun came back.

After greeting Li Qiumei, he sat down on the sofa next to He Yuanzhou. He Yuanzhou subconsciously stood up and sat next to his grandmother.

He Jun pretended not to see it. His son had always treated him like this.

It seems that there is still a long way to go if we want to reconcile.

He cleared his throat, "Mom, guess who I met today?"

Zhou Lanzhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "How would I know who you met?"

He Jun said with a beaming smile: I met Zhang Xiu'e today.

Oh my God, he looked so old and ugly that I didn’t recognize him at first.

It was because she kept staring at me that I finally realized what was happening.

Oh, was there something wrong with my eyes back then? I found someone so ugly, much worse than Yuanzhou's mother."

Zhou Lanzhi was stunned for a moment when she heard this. "Then what did she say?"

He Jun crossed his legs and snorted, “I’m probably not sure about my current state.

I ignored her and drove away."

Zhou Lanzhi put down her chopsticks. "Oh no! Didn't I tell you not to hang out with Zhang Xiu'e and the others for no reason? Why didn't you listen?"

He Jun repeatedly protested, "Mom, I met her at the square, not at her house.

I followed your advice and opened my company in the next city. I even avoided the gate of the thermal power plant."

Zhou Lanzhi sighed, "At this rate, I reckon it won't be long before they come knocking on our door.

I met your daughter a few years ago. She is exactly like Zhang Xiu'e.

I went to pick up bottles while Zhang Xiu'e was waiting for the bus with her. Unexpectedly, she threw the mineral water bottle in her hand at my feet and called me a beggar.

I thought she didn't recognize me, but she started by scolding me, saying that I deserved it and that I had harmed her mother and her brother, and that this was my retribution.

If the bus hadn't come, I would have slapped her twice."

"Grandma, have you ever picked up bottles?" He Yuanzhou was shocked.

Zhou Lanzhi smiled and said, "At that time, your father ran away, and I didn't dare to go back to my hometown. I had to guard the house, fearing that Zhang Xiu'e and her family would come and occupy it.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well pick up some bottles and cardboard and sell them. That will at least help me make some money."

He Jun lowered his head guiltily. He certainly knew what a fatal blow his running away at that time would be to the grandfather and grandson.

Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Li Qiumei smiled and said, "Let bygones be bygones. Yuanzhou, just be filial to your grandma in the future."

He Yuanzhou nodded, "Aunt, I will."

Zhou Lanzhi thought for a moment and said, "He Jun, please don't come back anytime soon. Yuanzhou should live near the thermal power plant.

This will prevent Zhang Xiu'e and her mother from following us here.

If they knew you were rich, He Jun, they would definitely not let you go."

He Jun said indifferently: "Nannan is now 18 years old, and I no longer have the obligation to raise her.

If she is smart and listens to me, maybe I can give her some money.

If she dares to bring her mother here to make trouble, I won’t care about her.

Anyway, this girl has been corrupted by her grandmother's family. She is a complete ungrateful person. I can't count on her in this life.

Just like you said, from now on, I will still have to rely on Yuanzhou to support me in my old age."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

He Yuanzhou opened the door and saw a strange girl standing outside.
