Chapter 525 I unexpectedly met her who was testing the character “立”
At noon, the three of them drank happily, chatting while drinking, and they drank for more than an hour and were all a little drunk.
Mr. Cheng’s niece said there was a foot-washing place on the third floor, so we decided to go there and wash our feet and rest for an hour before leaving.
They were all a little drunk and tired, so they agreed to go have their feet washed.
Mr. Cheng's niece led us to the third floor and talked to the owner of the foot massage shop. Then the three of us went into a room.
Cheng Mingliang said to the three foot-washing girls, "The three of us will sleep over. Just cover us with blankets after you're done."
Mr. Deng said, “Turn your phones to silent mode and have a good sleep.”
Everyone lay down and chatted occasionally at first, but gradually they became less talkative and fell asleep.
As for how the feet were washed and how the foot-washing girl retreated after washing, we have no idea.
I was the first one to wake up.
After waking up, I looked around. The room was empty. A thin blanket covered my body. They were both still fast asleep.
I didn't wake them up, letting them sleep a little longer. Then I checked my phone. There were several missed calls.
I figured if those who called had something important to tell me and couldn't get through, they'd definitely leave a message. I checked WeChat. There were two messages.
One was from Fu Siping, and he said he would come in three days. I replied to him, and asked him to send me a WeChat message before leaving, and then I would pick him up at the high-speed rail station.
The other message was from Yu Fang, asking if I had time in the evening and that she wanted to talk to me about something. I replied that we could chat and that I could contact her at 7pm.
After replying to the WeChat message, I tiptoed to put on my shoes and left the room, ready to go downstairs to get some fresh air. After all, the lighting in this foot bath was dim and the air was stale.
The lady boss asked, "Are you awake?"
"Yes, I'll go for a walk downstairs. If they wake up, you can say I was shopping in the alley downstairs."
She nodded.
I walked down the old narrow stairs to the foot of the building. When I walked out the door, I felt a fresh breeze on my face. Looking back at this pigeon-cage-like residential building, I felt like I was in two completely different worlds.
A woman carrying a bag of fruit came towards me. She glanced at me and smiled. I thought she was smiling at someone else. She smiled at me again.
I stopped, and she stopped too. I asked, "Do you know me?"
She nodded and said, "I just washed your feet."
"oh--"
She said, "I've known you for years, and you haven't changed much."
"Maybe." I said as I searched my mind, but couldn't remember anything.
"Wu Xiang, remember? I once divined the character 'Li'."
I clapped my hands and said, "I remember now. It's at my master's house. You're from Henan."
She pursed her lips and smiled.
"What happened next? Did you get divorced?"
"I'm divorced. Now I live upstate with my kids."
"Are you getting married again?"
She shook her head vigorously, as if to say, I have a child, I'm old, and my parents have been offended by me, who can I marry?
I suddenly felt a surge of pity and said, "The world is both big and small. I never thought I'd meet you in this place."
She said, "Come in and go to sleep. I'll wash your feet while I observe. The more I see, the more it resembles you. Come, have some grapes."
After that, she opened the plastic bag.
I nodded, took a few pills, and didn't eat them. I said to her, "Come on, let's add each other on WeChat."
She looked at me in surprise: "Add WeChat?"
"right."
She scanned my QR code, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "You are so nice."
"You have something to do. Go up first. I'll go for a walk in the alley."
She looked at me several times, wanting to say something but seemed unable to. She smiled at me and left.
I walked slowly down the alley. A breeze blew through the alley, and the drunkenness washed away. But my mood remained rather restless.
I met her about three years after I left Wuxiang and moved upstate. It's been over four years since I last saw her.
In those eight years, I wonder how much she's been through. One thing is certain: she hasn't remarried. In her 30s, she's still working as a foot massage therapist. She's unconnected, living at the bottom of society.
I added her WeChat and thought that if there was a time to help her, I would help her.
At this time, Cheng Mingliang called me and asked me where I was.
I said, "Downstairs, walking around in the alley."
He said, “We came down.”
When they met a while later, Cheng Mingliang said, "I've called three designated drivers and they're waiting for us at the entrance of the mall's garage."
We arrived at the mall garage, and unexpectedly, the person driving me was a woman in her 30s.
When we got in the car, I told her the address and she said, "I know. The villa area is right by the lake."
She seemed to be very professional, she just drove and didn't talk. I turned on my phone and thought the foot washer would send me a WeChat message.
Sure enough, she sent a few messages.
"Teacher Wan, I'm so happy to have met you and added you on WeChat. You are such a compassionate person."
"My name is Zhou Yan, and I've been in Shangzhou for more than six years. I hope you'll take good care of my business in the future."
I replied, "Business-wise, I probably can't help you much. I rarely wash my feet. Today, I just drank too much at the restaurant upstairs from you, so I washed my feet to clear my head."
If the right opportunity arises, I'll take care of you. After all, you can't wash feet forever. Thinking of your hard life, I'll transfer 2,000 yuan to you.
I don't mean anything else, I just want you to feel that there are still good people in this world. At least, the three people who washed your feet today are all good people."
With a snap, I turned around.
Having written this far, readers will definitely say: Wan Shanhong, ah Wan Shanhong, Chen Ting made a thousand yuan transfer in the karaoke bar, which made it almost impossible for him to be promoted; Shi Ting supported the girl's education, and finally it took a lot of effort to get rid of the entanglement.
You teach them so well, how could you make such a mistake yourself? What if Zhou Yan gets on with you and says you bullied her? You won't be able to defend yourself.
You haven't bullied her, why do you want to give her money?
Thank you readers for your concern. I, Wanshanhong, know how to judge people. I can tell who is good and who is evil at a glance. Zhou Yan is a good person.
If she were a calculating person, she wouldn't have fallen for that drug addict's trick.
If she is a bad woman, she will not have a child and will push the child to the man.
She is just one of the thousands of kindhearted women at the bottom of Chinese society, struggling in a sea of suffering, and even 2,000 yuan cannot save her.
However, just a little warmth is enough to ignite her hope for life and make her feel that the world has warmth.
She will also be moved by this little warmth, raise her children well, and strive to run towards the light.
I stared at my phone, waiting for her reaction.
However, she neither clicked on the transfer nor responded.
The designated driver asked, "We're almost there, first building?"
I nodded and asked, "How much?"
She said, "The thin guy paid for it all."
I felt a little uncomfortable hearing this name. She thought I didn't understand and explained, "That skinny monkey."
"I heard it clearly. You can definitely say that a gentleman paid. Respecting others is also respecting yourself."
She stopped the car without saying a word, and I got out without saying a word.
I went upstairs, still feeling dizzy. Perhaps it was from all that time I'd been looking at my phone in the car, swaying back and forth, starting and stopping intermittently.
When I got to the second floor, I didn't see anyone, even Sister Guihua was not at home. I fell on the bed and fell asleep again.
