Zhou Fangchun and Zhou Jianan actually swindled so much money!
Zhou Huilan was completely stunned. During the entire interrogation, she told the police everything she knew, but she always thought that Zhou Fangchun and Zhou Jian'an had committed a minor offense. Who knew that it was such a huge disaster!
"Mom... I have to go find my mom. She must know everything."
Zhou Huilan murmured to herself.
She was still wearing the thin clothes she had been wearing when she was arrested. In the dead of winter, no one brought her any clothes. Even though the police kindly found her a tattered cotton-padded coat, it was still not enough to cope with the severe cold of Beijing.
Zhou Huilan was extremely cold. She went to her place immediately, but because she hadn't paid rent for a long time, the landlord entered the house without permission and threw away all her belongings, leaving her with nothing!
"How dare you throw my things away? Do you believe I'll report you to the police?"
"Sue me? Go ahead and sue me if you dare! I'm not easily intimidated. Everyone knows you're from the mutual aid society, and there's not a single good person in that society! Your junk is disgusting to look at. I'm being lenient by throwing it in the trash!"
The landlady spat, nearly making Zhou Huilan too ashamed to look up.
"But I don't even have a single piece of clothing..."
"What does this have to do with me! You brought this on yourself!" The old lady slammed the door shut.
Hearing the cursing and swearing inside, Zhou Fangchun didn't dare to confront the fierce old lady directly. But she was so cold that she had no choice but to go to Zhou Jian'an's place again.
Zhou Jian'an's residence was sealed off shortly afterward, since the house was not actually owned by Zhou Jian'an.
The original owner felt it was bad luck, and like the old lady, threw all of Zhou Jian'an's things out.
However, when Zhou Jian'an fled to Gangcheng, he took all the good things with him, leaving nothing in the house except some old clothes belonging to an old lady.
"I've kept them all for you, take them and don't ever come looking for me again!" The landlord coldly tossed a package out. Zhou Huilan put on all the clothes she could wear to warm herself up.
"By the way, have you seen my mother? My mother is Jiang Meifeng. She is of medium height, has a dark yellow complexion, a somewhat fierce appearance, walks with her toes pointing outwards, and speaks with a very strong voice."
The landlord frowned and thought for a moment. "I've seen her. She came once a few months ago. Later, she wanted to earn money for her trip back to her hometown. I felt sorry for her and introduced her to a dishwashing job. She only worked there for a few days before running away. I heard she told her employees that she was going to ask her granddaughter for money. Her granddaughter has money and will give her whatever she wants. She also said that if her granddaughter dared not give it to her, she would cause trouble at her granddaughter's school and marry her granddaughter off to an old man in the mountains..."
The landlord couldn't help but shake his head. The owner of that restaurant was a friend of his. He had taken pity on Jiang Meifeng when his friend's restaurant had just opened and needed a dishwasher.
Dishwashers don't need any special educational background; all they need to do is accept low wages and high-intensity labor.
He introduced Jiang Meifeng to the restaurant owner a few days ago, and the owner was quite happy, thinking that she was quite efficient at her work.
Who knew she would leave so suddenly? The restaurant owner couldn't find a replacement dishwasher for her, and the kitchen dishes were left unwashed, which infuriated the owner.
Later, he met with a friend, who then relayed the old lady's words to him.
The landlord never imagined that Jiang Meifeng, who seemed kind enough, was such a filthy person!
Her granddaughter is in college, where would she get the money to give her? This old woman actually said that if her granddaughter doesn't give her money, she'll marry her off to an old man.
Such despicable words are unpleasant to hear, and the landlord naturally resented them as well.
Zhou Huilan was stunned. She also agreed with Jiang Meifeng's decision to marry Chu Yu to someone in the mountains.
That little slut won't behave unless she's beaten. If it weren't for Chu Yu, she wouldn't have been able to go back to the palace twice.
Zhou Huilan felt that all the bad luck was brought by Chu Yu. If it weren't for Chu Yu's troublemaking, Shu Hui would have been kicked out of the house empty-handed long ago. Chu Yu extorted money from the Zhou family, making them poor for a long time.
Later, Chu Yu caused all sorts of trouble, making Zhou Huilan grit her teeth in hatred.
If Jiang Meifeng really sells Chu Yu out, that would be truly gratifying!
Zhou Huilan's eyes lit up at the thought of her mother doing something so impressive, but then the question arose: where could she find Jiang Meifeng?
We can't exactly go to Tsinghua University to ask, can we?
These past few days, Chu Yu has been busy with Chu Jiali's affairs.
She didn't care about the small buffet restaurant; she was worried that Shen Jun would be too tired. Now that Shen Jun had moved to a new house, she lived alone.
Chu Yu was busy with her studies and had to go to Shu Hui's place on weekends, so she couldn't visit Shen Jun every day. She could only use work as an excuse to see Shen Jun occasionally so that she wouldn't feel so lonely.
