Chen Hansheng finished reading the script at the freshmen assembly and made sure that he was in the spotlight, then slowly returned to his seat.
As for his deliberate delay, Principal Lu Gongchao pretended not to see it, and so did the other teachers. Even the deputy director of the Tradition Academy, Shi Zhengdong, who had conflicts with Chen Hansheng before, could only sigh that the situation was stronger than the person.
If the rumors about Chen Hansheng were true, not to mention a harmless "small accident", even if he did a striptease at the freshmen assembly, Lu Gongchao would help to explain.
After the meeting, Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu finished their lunch and prepared to drive to Hu Linyu's home.
In fact, besides Shen Youchu who was worried about her good friend, Public Management Class Two really needed Monitor Hu.
Because the graduation procedures of the fourth year were particularly cumbersome, especially for people like Yang Shichao who left school early, they might need to change their relationship and school status. There was also the "Intern Whereabouts Registration Form" and "Graduate Statistics Form" in the future, so there must be someone in the class to follow and pay attention to it.
Otherwise, many students would find that their school status was still in the school after graduation, or they would quietly return to the talent market where their household register was located.
But these small things, how could they expect Mr. Chen, who had a net worth of hundreds of millions, to do it?
… ….
Secretary Hu's hometown was in Pizhou, a county-level city of Peng City. It was estimated to be more than 300 kilometers from Jianye. Plus, he was not familiar with the route, so it was already 6 o 'clock in the evening when he arrived at his destination.
However, the scenery here was very charming. The setting sun dyed the sunset red, and the fields were full of wheat that had been cut. Every household was still following their previous habits, spreading the yellow wheat grains on the cement road to dry. There were also people burning straw on the side of the curved river.
Thick smoke rose up. Although it polluted the environment, it was still done like this, even in the countryside of Harbor City.
Chen Hansheng used his position as a monitor to find Hu Linyu's home address, but he was a little confused when he arrived at the village entrance. The houses seemed to be similar, and there was no house number. Which one was Hu Linyu's house?
Chen Hansheng had no choice but to roll down the car window and ask them one by one, "Uncle (Auntie, Big Brother, Big Sister), how do I get to Hu Linyu's house?"
The villagers responded enthusiastically, but they seemed to be unfamiliar with the name "Hu Linyu." Chen Hansheng thought for a moment and changed to Hu Linyu's father's name. "Where is Hu Youxi's home?"
"Xi-zi's family ~"
Now everyone understood. An old man smoking a pipe said with a smile, "You should have said it earlier. Do you see that house with white walls? That's his house."
"Alright, thank you, sir."
Chen Hansheng nodded. Before he left, he asked, "By the way, how many children does Hu Youxi have in his family?"
"A boy and a girl. The girl's name is Hu Daya, and the boy's name is Hu Erdan. Daya has good grades, and she's still a college student."
"So Hu Linyu's maiden name is Hu Daya."
Chen Hansheng asked around and said to Shen Youchu with a smile, "When I get back, I'll change Hu Linyu's QQ name to 'Hu Daya'. In the future, if she pretends to be a psychology teacher, I'll say, 'Daya, don't do these superficial things. Can't you watch less poisonous chicken soup?'"
"Linyu doesn't like other people to call her by this name."
Shen Youchu said naively. She should have known Hu Linyu's nickname long ago.
"I'm just joking."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand, "Am I the kind of bad person that will embarrass my friends?"
Shen Youchu believed him. In the end, when they arrived at Hu Linyu's house, Chen Hansheng got out of the car and took a deep breath. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, "Hu Daya, Daya, Yaya, Shen Youchu and I are here to see you …"
Shen Youchu, "…"
Soon, the red painted iron door opened. A short and stout big boy walked out. Looking at his face, he looked somewhat similar to Hu Linyu. He should still be in high school. This should be the younger brother that Hu Daya was "destined" to support.
He looked at the Land Rover and then looked at Chen Hansheng, "Who are you?"
"We are Hu Linyu's college classmates."
Chen Hansheng asked with a smile, "Are you Hu Erdan?"
Erdan's younger brother moved the corner of his mouth and refused to answer this question. He just turned around and shouted, "Mom, my older sister's classmate is here."
Hu Linyu's family was an authentic farmer's family. Of course, farmers were not poor people. In fact, between 2000 and 2010, the income from farming was quite good.
At least, when Hu Linyu was in college, she didn't need to apply for scholarships and loans. Later on, when she ran the milk tea shop, Hu Linyu was able to pay for her own tuition.
Hu Linyu's parents were about 50 years old. However, because they had been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, they looked a little older than their actual age.
Hu Daya's father smoked a tobacco pipe and clipped the Chunghwa that Chen Hansheng handed over to him to his ear.
Hu Daya's mother was breaking corn kernels one by one. She wore a gold bracelet on her wrist. Perhaps because it had been too long, the color of the bracelet had been badly oxidized and lost its previous luster.
They were still very polite to their daughter's classmate. They didn't speak sarcastically as Chen Hansheng imagined. They even fished out watermelons from the well water, cut them open and shared them with Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu. They also asked Erdan to call his sister over.
"I originally thought that Hu Linyu was living like a servant at home. Actually, that's not right."
Chen Hansheng ate the watermelon in his mouth and thought that Hu Daya's one-sided story might not be accurate.
Hu Linyu soon came out from the inner room. Her sleepy appearance was very suitable for a college student's state during the summer vacation. If she was not sleeping, she was in the process of sleeping.
"Youchu, why are you here?"
Hu Linyu saw the figure clearly and quickly ran over with her short legs.
Shen Youchu also stood up. There was a little joy in her peach blossom eyes.
"Youchu, are you worried about me?"
Hu Daya grabbed Shen Youchu's wrist and asked with excitement and expectation.
"Yes …"
Shen Youchu answered softly. She lowered her head and felt a little embarrassed.
"My good sister!"
After getting the answer she wanted, Hu Linyu sniffed. She was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She held her good friend's wrist tightly.
Secretary Hu used to complain that Shen Youchu didn't know how to express her feelings at all. She was always silly and didn't talk at all. He always "maintained their friendship".
Who would have thought that Shen Youchu, who always kept a low profile, would travel more than 300 kilometers just to visit him?
At this time, Hu Linyu felt that if she were a man, she would definitely take Shen Youchu away from Chen Hansheng, the rogue!
"Hey!"
Chen Hansheng said with dissatisfaction, "I'm here too. I even drove more than 4 hours. Hu Linyu, why don't you express your gratitude?"
"Humph, it must be Youchu who asked you to come."
In fact, Secretary Hu was also moved in his heart. However, he was used to criticizing Chen Hansheng, so he couldn't say "thank you" to Chen Hansheng at all.
Fortunately, Chen Hansheng didn't care. He grinned and said, "Hu is so strict."
Just when they were acting out their "strong sisterly love", Hu Linyu's mother interrupted, "Since you didn't revise, come and help me to break the corn. Then prepare to cook dinner. Don't stand here like a fool."
"My friend is here. Can't you let me rest for a while?"
Hu Linyu also "woke up" in an instant. She immediately argued with her parents, "He didn't do anything. Why don't you let him help?"
"Bah!"
Hu Linyu's mother threw the corn on the ground and said angrily, "Your little brother just entered high school. This is an important time. You have the nerve to let him do farm work?"
"That was when I was in high school."
Hu Linyu's temper wasn't small. She immediately retorted, "Not only do I have to study every day, but I also have to cook and mop the floor. Why can't you see that?"
"You're a girl. Shouldn't you do these things?"
Hu Linyu's father was also criticizing his daughter. "Did we raise you just to let you quarrel with us?"
"I didn't want to quarrel with you. You treated me unfairly first."
Hu Linyu pulled Shen Youchu to the room and said loudly, "Anyway, I won't cook tonight. Let's all starve to death!"
Shen Youchu was dragged and stumbled. She looked back at Chen Hansheng.
The two of them had been together for a long time. Sometimes, they could tell what the other was thinking with just a glance. Chen Hansheng raised his chin, indicating that she didn't need to care about him.
After Hu Linyu closed the wooden door with a "bang" sound, the living room slowly quieted down.
"Sigh, I gave birth to an enemy!"
Hu Linyu's mother didn't have the mood to work anymore. Just like all middle-aged women, she always liked to complain to strangers about the "misfortune" in her family. She also began to ramble on and on to Chen Hansheng.
"It's as if we, as her parents, will harm her. I don't know who fooled her. She actually wants to sell milk tea."
"Why would a girl want to do business? She can easily get into the government. As long as the government is still around, she won't starve."
"In the future, she can find a similar husband. After Er Dan graduates from university, elder sister and brother-in-law can help him. Isn't this what we should do?"
"The Li family at the west of the village. Because their daughter is working in the county's family planning committee, the village head has to pass him a cigarette every time he sees him."
Ning …
Chen Hansheng listened quietly. In fact, he had already "solved the case". Hu Linyu's parents didn't really mistreat their daughter. They should have two new and old ideas colliding with each other.
Probably from the perspective of her parents, Hu Linyu was a girl. No matter before or after she got married, it was her duty to take care of her younger brother, because her younger brother was the son of the Hu family.
As for cooking for the family, after all, we have supported you for so many years. Can't you cook for us?
There was also the issue of choosing a career. The entrance exam was not only for Hu Linyu's sake, but also for the development of the whole family.
What kind of future could a milk tea seller have? It was so embarrassing. A student who was a class committee member in 2005 actually became a "milk tea girl" after graduation?
Chen Hansheng didn't know how to refute. He told Hu Linyu's parents with a strong sense of righteousness, "It's the same whether it's a boy or a girl. Children also have the right to choose a career freely. Actually, selling milk tea can also make a lot of money …"
Probably for the sake of the guest, they perfunctorily responded with a few words. In their hearts, they felt that this person was really young and had no social experience at all.
Because some deep-rooted ideas couldn't be persuaded by talking. It depended on the method!
"Phew ~"
Chen Hansheng thought for a while, and two thin streams of smoke came out of his nostrils. "Hu Linyu actually wants to sell milk tea. Actually, it's all my fault."
"What?"
Hu Linyu's parents turned to Chen Hansheng. Even Hu Erdan, who had been eating watermelon, looked at Chen Hansheng.
"Hu Linyu and I were classmates. I started my own business very early. Originally, she wanted to take the entrance exam."
Chen Hansheng met their gazes and said while thinking, "When she was in her second year, she felt that you guys were working too hard, so she came to work for me. She wanted to earn some money as living expenses and reduce your stress."
Hu Linyu's parents looked at each other. Hu Linyu really didn't want a penny from the family in the second semester of her sophomore year. It was said that she started a business with her classmates. She even installed an air conditioner for her younger brother's house.
What he said was basically true. Then Chen Hansheng began to talk nonsense. "After that, Hu Linyu felt that the business was good, so she wanted to start her own business and become a manager. So she borrowed 100,000 yuan from me."
"100,000 yuan?"
Hu Linyu's father exclaimed.
"100,000 yuan!"
Chen Hansheng pointed to the Land Rover outside and said, "My car is already 900,000 yuan. It's normal that I lent 100,000 yuan."
"Wow, this naughty girl actually dared to borrow so much money. She's really going to kill me …"
Hu Linyu's mother believed him. She was angry and scared. Their family's annual income was only 20,000 yuan. She didn't expect that Hu Linyu dared to borrow so much money.
"Don't worry."
Chen Hansheng comforted her. "The milk tea shop is doing well. Hu Linyu actually has paid back a lot, but …"
Chen Hansheng paused for a second and continued, "You can't keep her here. Otherwise, she won't be able to work. The interest of the money she owes will only increase."
Hu Linyu's parents hurried to Hu Linyu's room to confirm the authenticity of the news.
Chen Hansheng smiled. He took out his phone and sent a message to Hu Linyu. "If you want to leave this house smoothly, no matter what they ask, just say 'yes'."
Hu Linyu knew that Chen Hansheng had many ways to deal with it. She directly replied, "Got it."
As expected, the mother and daughter's fierce shouting and quarreling soon came from the room.
Chen Hansheng sat on a stool and smoked comfortably. Hu Erdan ran to the door to check, then walked back to the living room.
"So much money. What if my sister can't pay it back?"
Hu Erdan suddenly asked.
"Can't pay it back?"
Chen Hansheng winked at Hu Erdan. "I'll sell your sister to Myanmar and let her be someone's concubine."
Hu Erdan, who had just entered high school, panicked. The person in front of him was originally a ruffian. It seemed that he would do what he said.
It didn't take long for Hu Linyu's father to come out as well. His face was no longer as enthusiastic as before. He stared at Chen Hansheng indifferently for a while, then took out a tobacco pipe and started smoking.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "How much money does Hu Daya still owe you?"
… ….
It had to be said that although Chen Hansheng's idea was immoral, it was really useful.
An hour later, Hu Linyu came out with her suitcase. It seemed that under the pressure of debt, Hu Linyu's mother was finally willing to let her go.
Although it was getting dark outside, Hu Linyu still urged Chen Hansheng to drive quickly, in case they were left behind again. When the Land Rover flashed its headlights and slowly left, Hu Linyu's parents and Hu Erdan still stood at the door and stared.
"Chen Hansheng, you're really something!"
Hu Linyu said happily in the car. "A simple lie can trick me out. A while ago, I almost hanged myself at home, but it didn't work."
"Of course, I'm smart and don't understand."
Chen Hansheng smiled and organized his words. "Hu Erdan, in fact, your parents are not bad to you. My parents and I also have different views. You can't only see the most extreme side."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how rare."
Hu Linyu seemed to have met Chen Hansheng for the first time. "A big hooligan actually wants to reason with me. Besides, your family is better than mine. Your parents should be easier to communicate with."
"No, they can't."
Chen Hansheng shook his head and took the initiative to hold Shen Youchu's small hand. "For example, I want to find two girlfriends, but they don't agree …"
"Bah!"
Hu Linyu spat and reached out to push Shen Youchu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. "Look, this is your indecent boyfriend. He's still joking even now."
Shen Youchu also thought that Chen Hansheng was joking. After all, he was holding her hand and the two were having a warm interaction.
"But I'm serious."
Chen Hansheng coughed and changed the topic. "After your father found out that you owed so much money, he asked me in the living room just now if he could use the newly harvested food to make up for it. He also said that he could mortgage next year's food to me so that I wouldn't hinder you from taking the entrance exam."
Hu Linyu sat quietly in the back seat for a while. "They want me to take the entrance exam because they want me to help my younger brother in the future."
"That's right. But …"
Chen Hansheng turned on the light in the car. "Look at what's beside it."
Hu Linyu looked down and found that it was a small dog storage can. It looked a little old and one of the dog's ears was missing.
It was also the missing ear that made Hu Linyu suddenly realize. "This belongs to my younger brother?"
"Yes."
Chen Hansheng turned his head and looked at it. "Your younger brother was worried that you wouldn't be able to pay back the money and would be sold by me. So he secretly gave the storage can to me, hoping that it could help you a little …"
Hu Linyu held the storage can in a daze and didn't know how to answer.
"Again, every family has its own difficulties. There are some things that I can't comment on. After all, your parents are also at fault. You can deal with it yourself. I just want to tell you the truth."
Chen Hansheng stared at the road in front and carefully identified the direction. "By the way, I also want to remind you that you shouldn't read too much of the poisonous chicken soup on the Internet. These bastards are poisonous. They use the resentment in your heart to trick you into believing it through specious reasons."
"Teacher He Jiong will cry if he reads it. How do foreign women treat their husbands? The status of Chinese women is too low …"
"If I don't read it, I'm not Chinese. How do independent women live …"
"Every 20th of May, husbands in Europe and America will put down their work and prepare flowers and wine to accompany their wives. It's a ritualistic celebration. I agree that it's a ritualistic celebration, but the foreigners in Europe and America don't celebrate 520. It's a homonym of Chinese characters!"
… ….
"These things are actually made up by forces with ulterior motives. I've already reminded you to use your brain to surf the Internet."
Chen Hansheng persuaded slowly. Shen Youchu sat in the back row to comfort Secretary Hu.
"… Chen Hansheng, it's rare for you to be so reasonable."
After a long time, Hu Linyu calmed down a little and said in a nasal voice, "Anyway, thank you."
"We're honest people who don't listen to words. We believe in reciprocation through action."
Chen Hansheng whistled. "Xiao Hu, if my life is a mess in the future, you must remember what I did for you today."
