Chapter 56 Awkward Voice
The weather was gloomy and there was some snow.
After evening study, Su Jiaojiao left the school gate and found the snack street in front of her, where the north wind was howling, unusually warm. On this snack street, a light was left on for her. Chen Yi happened to be walking beside her and asked her, "Did you rent a house off campus?"
He happened to be in the office when she was checking in for day study.
He was surprised that she had moved out.
"Yes, it's right in front." Su Jiaojiao was in a good mood and pointed it out to Chen Yi. "It's close to school, and we can sell goods there, killing two birds with one stone."
During this period, her mathematics progressed by leaps and bounds, entirely thanks to Chen Yi and Wu Peng who found questions and explained them to her.
It has to be said that Chen Yi is her benefactor in her studies.
"I knew you rented this house just to sell stuff." Chen Yi turned his head to look at Su Jiaojiao who was walking beside him, and said softly, "We'll be close from now on. Just tell me if you have anything to say."
"Okay, thank you, squad leader." Su Jiaojiao smiled. In less than five minutes, she arrived and waved at him. "It's so late, I won't invite you in. Please come and sit down when you are free."
"See you tomorrow." Chen Yi was too embarrassed to even look at her, let alone go to her house.
Chen Guilan had tidied the room and lit the stove, making it cozy and warm. When she heard Su Jiaojiao's voice, she smiled and greeted her, "You're finally back. I made some steamed buns. Eat them before you go to sleep."
"Great! I'm hungry." Su Jiaojiao looked at the newly renovated house, gave a thumbs-up, and praised, "My mom is amazing. If the landlord saw how you cleaned up these two rooms, he definitely wouldn't rent them to us for 80 yuan."
The walls were covered with new newspapers, and a door curtain made of old clothes was hung on the door.
The bed was tidy, the sheets and pillowcases were new, and they were the pink color she liked.
Even the old furniture they bought from the flea market was covered with cloth made from old clothes.
Chen Guilan is particularly good at recycling waste. She never wastes old clothes that are not worn. She washes them all and then pieced them together to make various things. The small benches on the ground are also covered with colorful cushions.
"The house needs to be kept clean so it's comfortable to live in." Chen Guilan brought her steaming hot radish-stuffed buns, sat down to watch her eat, and chatted with her. "The couple selling vegetables next door are very nice. They know we are neighbors, so when I go to buy vegetables, they always sell me half of the vegetables and give me half of the vegetables. They say that if we don't mind, the leftover vegetables they sell every day will be enough for us to eat."
"Mom, we won't take advantage of this. We still have to pay." Su Jiaojiao knew that Chen Guilan was not the type to take advantage of small gains, so she still expressed her opinion. "Occasionally, it doesn't matter if it happens once or twice, but over time, it will matter. Neighbors should not take on too many favors."
"Don't worry, Mom knows." Chen Guilan smiled. "He gave us a cabbage and two lettuce leaves. I gave that woman a pair of jeans. She was so happy."
Su Jiaojiao: “…”
All right!
As long as her mother is happy.
After dinner and washing up, Su Jiaojiao lay on the comfortable and warm big bed, covered with a brand new quilt. It was so comfortable. This big bed was made entirely of solid wood. The landlord said he made it himself. It was no problem for three people to sleep on it. It was also very solid and there was no sound when she turned over.
She really wanted Liu Ying to move in and live with them.
Arriving in the new environment, both mother and daughter had trouble sleeping.
Su Jiaojiao was thinking about how to tell Chen Guilan about the divorce so as to minimize the harm to her. She didn't want to make Chen Guilan sad, but there was one thing she couldn't do for her.
Otherwise, wait two days before telling her!
The music store across the street was still open, and colorful lights twinkled under the eaves. The volume of the speakers at the door had dimmed considerably, but they could still hear the song clearly: Draw a sword to cut the water, but the water flows faster; raise a cup to dispel sorrow, but the sorrow becomes even more sorrowful; the breeze of tomorrow morning drifts in all directions; only the newlyweds laugh, but who hears the old weep? The word "love" is so hard...
Listening to the song, Chen Guilan looked at the bright light reflected in the window and thought about making a curtain to cover it tomorrow. The house faces the street and has neither soundproofing nor lightproofing, but she didn't mind. She was worried that it would affect her daughter's sleep.
The mother and daughter each have their own thoughts.
No one spoke.
Suddenly, a woman's moan, accompanied by a man's low panting, came from next door, unrestrainedly. Although Su Jiaojiao was an adult, she still blushed in the dark night when she heard such a sound. It would be fine if she was alone, but her mother was lying next to her... It was so embarrassing!
Do these two girls have to listen to the bed next door every night?
Oh my god, she missed her bed in the dormitory so much now...
Chen Guilan was even more embarrassed than Su Jiaojiao. She simply covered her head and didn't dare to move, mainly because she heard it too clearly... Didn't that couple know that the rental house was not soundproof?
Fortunately, peace returned next door after a while.
Only then did the mother and daughter fall into a deep sleep.
When Su Jiaojiao got up, Chen Guilan was already lighting the stove and cooking.
The school required an arrival time of 5:40 a.m., so she had to leave at 5:30. During lunch, Su Jiaojiao told Chen Guilan about the samples and leftover goods she had brought back from the Jiali Garment Factory. "Mom, just put them out the door and let them take whatever they want. They're all ten yuan each. We've already made back our investment, so we'll sell them for whatever we can."
"I've seen those clothes. Some are so good. Are they also selling for ten yuan?" Chen Guilan specially steamed a pot of buns yesterday. It was cold, so it was fine to leave them for a day. She sat down to eat them herself. "I was thinking of picking out the good clothes and selling them separately!"
"No, our house is small and we can't have too much stuff." Su Jiaojiao ate two buns last night and two more this morning, still enjoying the food. "If you pick out the good stuff, who would want to buy the rest? It's because there are good and bad things that can be compared with each other that things sell quickly."
"Okay, Mom will listen to you." When Chen Guilan heard what was going on, she stopped worrying about it.
After finishing her meal, Su Jiaojiao went to school with ease.
Apart from the noise from next door, she is very happy with her new home.
Wherever her mother is, that is her home.
When Su Xiumei called Su Houli's office, he wasn't there. The finance department said he had gone to the headquarters with his manager and wouldn't be back until the next day. When Su Houli came back and heard that Su Xiumei had called him, he immediately knew what was going on. But he didn't want to go to Su Xiumei's house, so he made an excuse to refuse her: "I'm working overtime and can't leave. Let's talk when you have time."
He didn't want to see Liang Wencai, and even less did he want to see Liang Kun.
If Liang Kun meets him, he will definitely ask him to pay back the money.
He has no money now, so why bother himself?
"My mother is here with me. Even if you don't want to see me, you have to come over." Su Xiumei knew Su Houli best and said sarcastically, "Houli, some things can't be solved by running away. Unless you don't divorce me, unless you and I never see each other again."
"Sister, do you really have to talk to me like this?" Su Houli was unhappy and spoke excitedly, ignoring the presence of others in the office. "To be fair, I haven't done anything to wrong you. Even if the bicycle incident caused a rift between you and Liang Wencai, it was due to the long-standing conflicts between you and your wife, not just because of this incident. And that Liang Kun, if he respected you in his heart, he wouldn't have made things difficult for me, let alone hit me. I didn't pursue it because you are my sister, but what about you? Do you blame me for everything?"
"Hou Li, wasn't the last incident caused by you?" Su Xiumei became angrier and angrier as she listened. She wished she could see him right now and have a fight with him. "Come over now. They're not home. It's our mother who wants to see you. Otherwise, she'll go to your workplace to look for you. It's up to you to decide!"
