It was only half past eight and Yu Sangzhi fell asleep.
Fortunately, she went to sleep after taking the medicine. This made Huo Feng feel more at ease, because he didn't need to wake her up to take the medicine later, and could let her sleep until she woke up naturally.
After Huo Feng settled Yu Sangzhi down, he came out of Yu Sangzhi's room.
He came to the room where Chen Huifen was working, feeling his hair, and asked Chen Huifen: "Auntie, are you still awake?"
In fact, Huo Feng originally planned to go to the bathroom to wash up, and then lie down and rest early.
However, the toilet was right next to the room where Chen Huifen worked. When Huo Feng passed by here, he saw that Chen Huifen was still working, so he felt embarrassed to just walk by.
So he entered the room where Chen Huifen worked.
Chen Huifen is stepping on the shoe uppers, doing the same job that does not change day after day.
She gets up at 6:30 every morning and works until 10:30 at night. During this time, she does not do anything else except eating.
Life can be quite dull and boring, and long hours of work can wear down one's patience...
However, Chen Huifen never neglected her job, as she was paid based on this amount.
Every time she made an extra pair of shoe uppers, she would earn more money, so Chen Huifen would rather work all the time than take a minute to rest.
In her opinion, she has no right to rest until the debt is paid off.
Huo Feng didn't know Chen Huifen's work habits. He only knew that he seemed to see Chen Huifen working all day long, and she never stopped for even a minute.
Huo Feng felt sorry for Chen Huifen...
A woman worked so hard to earn such a small amount of money. He estimated that with this job, she might not even be able to pay off a fraction of her debt?
"Auntie, if you do this non-stop every day, how much can you earn in a month?" Huo Feng picked up a pair of shoe uppers, looked around carefully, and asked her.
Chen Huifen glanced back at him, pursed her lips and smiled, "Not much money."
"Auntie, I think you've been working really hard."
Huo Feng put the shoe upper back into the basket and said, "Every day I come here, you're always working. You basically never rest all day long. This job is too tiring. Have you ever thought about finding another one?"
Chen Huifen shook her head when she heard this. "Other jobs are tiring too. As long as you're working for someone else, no job is free of fatigue. I don't have any special skills, so I can only do these things. If you're alone, you can do anything. As long as the salary is decent, you don't have to be picky about the work."
Although Chen Huifen said this casually, it also implicitly revealed a cruel reality in her family.
Huo Feng could vaguely guess that the reason she stayed at home to work was definitely not because of the salary of this job.
It must be simply because this job doesn’t require me to go out, so I can avoid debt.
Just, that's all.
Huo Feng was silent for a while, then asked, "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Huifen smiled and said, "No. Don't worry about me here. Go and accompany Sang Zhi. Sang Zhi needs your company the most."
Huo Feng: "She fell asleep."
Chen Huifen nodded, "Oh, so that's how it is."
Huo Feng then asked, "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with? I'm not ready to sleep yet, so I'll stay here with you."
Chen Huifen glanced at Huo Feng and said, "Auntie knows you're a good boy, but there's really not much to do here. If you're bored, I can chat with you. If you're tired, you can go back to your room and rest early."
Chen Huifen knew that Huo Feng was a polite child and that he was very tactful in his behavior.
Chen Huifen fell in love with Huo Feng the moment she saw him...
It was not because Huo Feng was good-looking, nor because he was sweet-talking, but because she saw righteousness in his brows the first time she saw him.
There are very few boys who look like Huo Feng, with regular features and a frank expression on his face. At first glance, he looks like a man of great responsibility.
Later contacts further verified this point.
For example, now, Chen Huifen knows that Huo Feng is not bored, and it is not that he can't find things to do.
It was simply because he saw her working and out of a sense of responsibility, he wanted to come and accompany her.
Huo Feng might have come to talk to her because he saw that she was too lonely, but since he was already here, he had to stay with her for a while.
"Auntie, how about you tell me about Sang Zhi?" Huo Feng took the initiative to find a topic to talk to Chen Huifen.
Chen Huifen chuckled, her hands busy as she said, "Sure, then what do you want to know?"
Huo Feng rested his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Auntie, can you tell me some interesting stories about Sang Zhi's childhood? Ever since I met Sang Zhi, she has always given me the impression of being very smart, very calm, and doing everything in an orderly manner. I just want to know, was she like this as a child? Did she never do anything stupid?"
"Of course there is."
Chen Huifen first affirmed, then thought for a moment before saying, "Our Sang Zhi wasn't that well-behaved when she was in elementary school. Back then, she went to a school with a bad atmosphere. She had a rather wild personality and, of course, did a lot of stupid things."
"oh?"
Huo Feng was very interested, "Auntie, can you tell me about it?"
Chen Huifen began to recount her story: "For example, she'd change a 10-point test to 100 by adding a zero at the end with a red pen. The ink on the two red pens was a different color, so we could tell they were different. Her dad got so angry he scolded her. Then there was another time when she simply gave up on changing the grade and simply imitated a parent's signature, then signed it herself and gave it to the teacher. The handwriting was so childish that the teacher could tell right away. When the teacher called her parents, her dad got even angrier. I heard he scolded her right in the teacher's office, and she cried."
