At this time, the winter in Beijing is still very cold. Except for children who like to have fun, most people would rather stay at home.
Wang Tingxuan's home has plenty of supplies, and the home can be said to be as warm as spring. In the evening, the family sat at home and had dinner.
There was an urgent knock on the door.
"Sister Xiao'e, brother Tingxuan, open the door."
It was Ran Qiuye's voice.
At this time, the Chinese New Year is coming soon and school should be on holiday.
Did something happen when she came here at this time?
Lou Xiao'e was about to get up and open the door, but Hao Hao rushed to the door to open the door before her. As soon as the door opened, Hao Hao greeted Ran Qiuye happily.
"Hello, aunt."
"Hey, Haohao, hello. Have you missed your aunt?"
"Think about it."
Ran Qiuye had just come in from outside, and her body was too cold, so she didn't hug Hao Hao.
"Qiuye, why are you here at this time? What happened?" Lou Xiao'e asked while pulling the child who wanted to climb on Ran Qiuye.
Ran Qiuye waited for a while and then said: "The school is about to have a holiday. We have arranged for teachers to visit the homes of students who have not paid their tuition fees. Today I am going to Qin Huairu's house for a home visit."
"Did you come out of her house so late?"
Ran Qiuye nodded.
In winter in the capital, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sun sets early. It is already past seven o'clock, it is pitch black outside, and there is a biting cold wind. Ran Qiuye is a girl, how can she go home?
"Really, why did you waste so long time if you didn't just charge tuition?" Lou Xiao'e complained to Ran Qiuye.
Ran Qiuye smiled: "Okay, stop talking, I'm almost catching up with my mother."
"Good intentions are not rewarded. You haven't eaten yet, so hurry up and have something to eat."
Ran Qiuye washed his hands and sat at the table.
"Have you received the tuition fee?"
"I got it. I really learned a lesson this time. As soon as I entered Qin Huairu's house today, she started asking me around. When I said that I was here to collect tuition fees, she kept crying about being poor. I felt so sad in my heart.
So soft, I almost fell into her trap." Ran Qiuye said embarrassedly.
"You didn't agree to pay for her tuition, did you? Let me tell you, the steel rolling mill just paid wages today, and she has money in her hands." Wang Tingxuan just handed over her wages to Lou Xiao'e today. Of course she knew that the steel rolling mill had just paid her wages today.
Pay wages.
"No, I remembered what I heard at your house last time, so I didn't agree to her. In the end, her neighbor, a man named He Yuzhu, helped her pay."
There is nothing wrong with this. It would be strange if He Yuzhu didn't pay for her.
"That's fine. Let me tell you, it's best not to believe a word of what she says." Lou Xiao'e warned.
"Speaking of He Yuzhu, do you understand him?" Ran Qiuye asked.
"Why don't you understand? Do you still remember He Yuzhu that time you met? He Yuzhu is her brother. Why are you asking He Yuzhu?"
"They are brothers and sisters, but it doesn't look like them. The front wheel of my bicycle broke two days ago, and I replaced it with the bicycle wheel in He Yuzhu's hand. At that time, I also said that I met a good person."
"He Yuzhu doesn't have a bicycle. Let alone bicycle wheels, he can't even afford a valve core." Wang Tingxuan complained.
"I just found out today that the wheel in his hand belongs to Teacher Yan from our school. He stole Teacher Yan's wheel and sold it. Why is he like this? He is actually a thief. The little girl with such a good rain,
How can I deal with such a brother?"
Is He Yuzhu a thief?
Strictly speaking, it's true. Factory Manager Yang allowed him to take leftovers home because he had to take care of the deaf old lady and serve as entertainer, and it was too late to buy groceries. But he was deceived and became lame.
, withholding food from workers and hospitality from leaders is a bigger crime than stealing.
However, apart from stealing food, He Yuzhu has never stolen anything from others. Although he does not have much money, he is actually not poor. He has saved all his wages over the years. If he takes all his wages,
He is also considered a rich man.
After hearing He Yuzhu's deeds, Ran Qiuye opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
"Then why is Teacher Yan's bicycle wheel in his hand?"
"I'm afraid Yan Bugui offended him somewhere. If he really wanted to steal it, would he only steal a wheel?"
This is the only explanation.
Only He Yuzhu can do this kind of thing, just like taking off Xu Damao's pants and locking him in the kitchen. The method is not drastic, but the victim does not feel comfortable.
Yan Bugui's bicycle is his treasure. Even though he bought it second-hand, it is now similar to Wang Tingxuan's new car, and even cleaner than his car.
He Yuzhu's move hit Yan Bugui's heart, but he was just too unlucky to mount it on Ran Qiuye's bicycle and Yan Bugui discovered it.
By the time dinner was over, it was already too late.
"Qiuye, are you still going home?"
"It's too late, so I won't go home. I'll go back to the school dormitory to stay one night today, and then go home after get off work tomorrow."
Lou Xiao'e looked at the sky outside and said, "Why don't you leave today and stay at our house."
"Is this appropriate?"
Wang Tingxuan was not worried about letting her go back, and said: "I will sleep in Haohao's room next door. You two can sleep together."
It was dark and cold outside, and the wind was biting, but Ran Qiuye did not refuse.
At this time, many people had gone to bed, but there were still some who were still awake.
"Huai Ru, what happened tonight? Isn't there a relationship between Silly Zhu and that teacher Ran?" Yi Zhonghai's voice came from the darkness.
A beautiful girl came to the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai, who lived in the middle courtyard, had noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't expect Sha Zhu to be courteous in front of the girl.
"Master, Teacher Ran is here to collect tuition fees. You also know that our family has no money, and Sha Zhu is kind-hearted to help Bang Gong pay the tuition fees." Qin Huairu hurriedly explained to Yi Zhonghai. She also felt the crisis. At this time, she had to fight with
Only by joining forces with Yi Zhonghai can He Yuzhu be controlled.
"How have you considered letting you marry Silly Zhu?"
Qin Huairu was heartbroken. She had agreed that He Yuzhu's saved salary would not be handed over until she had a child. She was already pregnant, so how could she give birth to a child for He Yuzhu? If she couldn't get his salary, she would marry him.
Isn’t it too much of a loss?
Now, Qin Huairu has not decided whether to marry He Yuzhu or not, and has been hesitating in her heart. She wants to find a better one, and she has to consider Banggeng and the others.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Huairu made a decision.
"Master, I dare not tell my mother-in-law. If she gets into trouble, none of us can cure her. Recently, something is wrong with Silly Zhu, and he doesn't take care of our family like he used to. If my mother-in-law makes him angry,
It won’t be good if you completely fall out.”
Yi Zhonghai has no good solution now. Silly Zhu must not marry an unrelated person, otherwise he will lose control. His prestige is not as good as before, and he does not have much advantage over Jia Zhang. If Jia Zhang makes trouble,
His prestige will decline again.
Qin Huairu asked tentatively: "Master, my cousin has listened to me since she was a child. How about I introduce my cousin to Sha Zhu. Let's stabilize Sha Zhu first and not let him go to Teacher Ran."
Yi Zhonghai didn't know Qin Jingru and was a little hesitant. But compared to a rural girl, Teacher Ran was even more difficult to deal with.
