Tian Chengcheng shook her head.
"Second sister, don't cry. We are together because of fate. We will eventually part ways. As long as our hearts are together, that's all that matters."
Wang Xiaohong sighed and said to Fubao, "Fubao, I will always remember your kindness. Please take good care of yourself when you get there. Come back to visit me when you have time, or write to me and keep in touch."
Tian Chengcheng felt very uncomfortable.
It’s really painful to be separated!
Having lived here for more than half a year, she has developed a deep bond with everyone, and these people are like her family.
"Don't worry, Auntie. We will come back as long as we have time."
Tian Chengcheng was afraid that if the topic continued, everyone would end up crying together, so she pulled Runyu to her side.
"Runyu, you will live with grandma over there from now on. She has opened a stationery store. When you have time after school, go over and help her. Grandma is not very good at accounting yet, so I have to rely on you."
Runyu nodded, his eyes unconsciously drifting to Fu Xinhan beside him.
There was desire in her little eyes, expecting Fu Xinhan to tell her a few words, but Fu Xinhan acted as if he didn't see it.
There was no other way, Tian Chengcheng could only kick him.
"Say a few words to Runyu."
After being kicked, Fu Xinhan was not angry. He looked at Runyu.
"Living well with grandma is better than staying at home. Remember, Fubao has made all the arrangements for you. Give them money every month. If they come to bother you again, call the police. The more afraid they are of them, the more they will push their luck. Especially don't give them any money, not a single cent."
Hearing Fu Xinhan's instructions, Runyu was very happy. He nodded quickly and said in a low voice: "Brother, I remember it."
When Fu Xinhan heard the word "brother", his expression was a little strange, but he soon returned to normal, just said "hmm", and nothing else.
Even so, this is already a big improvement. He usually doesn't talk to Runyu.
The old lady still has some things to do at her hometown: she needs to feed the rabbits and look after the puppies.
In the evening, Liu Bin drove her back home.
Over a few days, the old lady sold all the living things in her house that could be sold, and gave those that were too small to be sold to the village chief's wife.
The village chief's wife felt embarrassed, so she took some food from the canteen and gave it to the old lady.
"I don't have anything good here, give these to Fubao."
The old lady quickly refused. "Your small business doesn't make much money. Give it to your children at home. Fubao has so many people who love her, she won't need a single bite to eat. I'll leave you the key to the house. When you have time, go take a look. There are also some vegetables growing in the yard. It's better to pick and eat them than to waste them."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I understand, thank you!"
"Why thank me? I'm only blessed by Fubao. I should thank the village chief. If he hadn't sent the child to me, I wouldn't be living the good life I have today."
Thinking about what happened during this period, it feels like a dream.
"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. It was Fubao's own request to go to your place. Li Qiuju has been scheming all her life, and she probably never dreamed that Fubao would be so successful. But then again, the child may not be successful if he follows her. It depends on who he follows."
"That's true, but Fubao has grown up thanks to everyone's care over the years. He's thoughtful and always remembers the people in our village. He thinks of us in everything. He's a blessing to our entire village."
"Yes, now there's work again, and everyone is happy. My husband can sleep soundly at night. You don't know how worried he was a while ago. At two or three o'clock in the morning, I woke up and he was still sitting in front of the kang smoking. Oh, I was worried about him just looking at him."
The two exchanged greetings for a moment, then Liu Bin drove over and left with the old lady.
The stationery store has been renovated.
Tian Chengcheng and the old lady went to the wholesale market every day to buy stationery, and wrote the prices in a small notebook. The old lady went to a private school when she was a child and knew some words. After a few days of familiarity, she learned the words she didn't know.
She is becoming more and more confident.
Runyu didn't talk much and remembered all the prices firmly in her mind. She was a very smart girl.
During the break, Tian Chengcheng deliberately took two erasers to test the old lady.
"Grandma, how much is this eraser?"
"The small one is five cents and the big one is ten cents." said the old lady.
"Then I'll buy one of each and give you one dollar. How much change will you give me?"
The old lady paused and said, "I'll give you 85 cents."
"Wow, grandma, your ability to calculate is getting better and better. You figured it out so quickly."
The old lady laughed heartily at her.
"It's always the old people who praise the children, but now the situation is reversed, and you, a child, are praising me, an old woman.
I have to hurry up and practice. If I give a wrong answer, how will I save my reputation? "
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and it's okay to make a few mistakes, as long as they're not too big. Grandma, our store only sells small items, so it's okay if children come to buy things. But if an adult comes to buy something and brings a hundred or fifty dollar bill to you for change, just tell them that the change is broken and ask them to get the change somewhere else.
Even if the item is torn, even if you just give it to him, don't give him change."
"Why? Did you give him the things for free?"
Tian Chengcheng took out a few large-denomination bills and placed them on the cabinet.
"Grandma, look at this money. It's counterfeit money that recently appeared in Aunt Wang and Third Aunt's store. Those scammers specialize in defrauding strangers of their money." Tian Chengcheng said.
She had ignored the problem of counterfeit money before, but she didn't expect to encounter it.
