Chapter 983: Chapter 984: The Lonely Village Girl 28
The renovation issue is settled, so Zhang Yu hurriedly returned to her workplace. She still needed to get proof.
The head of the office knew Zhang Yu was going to renovate her house and needed proof to move into the guesthouse, "Old Wang Tou on duty hasn’t been feeling well these days and plans to take a month’s leave."
"Why don’t you move in there?" The head of the office was originally thinking of finding someone to take over for a month, and it turned out Zhang Yu needed a place to stay.
Thinking about it, Zhang Yu felt it could be considered, as the porter’s room was divided into two and living in the back wouldn’t be affected.
Zhang Yu thought it over and immediately agreed. As for the supposed income, Zhang Yu really didn’t care; otherwise, staying at the guesthouse for a month would also cost a lot.
Li Cui also went to the street and borrowed a room to store things. When she found out Zhang Yu had already found a place to stay, she was very happy.
"Fortunately, there’s an empty room where we can put furniture, and there’s a place at the office for us to stay." Li Cui was genuinely delighted.
"Now, everything is going smoothly, and life is getting better each day." Li Cui was genuinely happy. Initially, upon hearing the news of her son-in-law’s death, the old lady felt it was the end of the world and didn’t know what to do.
Now she realizes that life can still turn for the better even though many around are watching with ridicule.
Did Liu Jianshe really hide the fact he was filling in for others? It might not be noticed in a day or two, but over a few days, people start to see a bit.
"Little Yu, we have to live well." Li Cui knew most neighbors were watching for amusement and few would lend a helping hand.
This incident made the old lady realize that there are far too many people watching for jokes and very few willing to help.
Zhang Yu nodded, "Grandma, I know, don’t pay attention to those neighbors. Chat with them if you feel like it."
"If you don’t feel like chatting, don’t chat."
"It’s unnecessary to worry about how they feel."
"Our family used to help others quite a bit, but when something happened to my dad, did they come out to help?"
"They said they were worried the Liu Family would get angry, which would be bad for them." Zhang Yu just thought those people had no backbone.
"They talk behind the Liu Family’s back about how domineering they are, but when they see the Liu Family, they greet with smiles."
"With this incident in the Liu Family, if it happened to other families, they would have laughed countless times by now."
"But no one dares to say anything bad about the Liu Family, not even in front of them," Li Cui thinks with anger.
Seeing Li Cui angry, Zhang Yule smiled, "That’s because they know someone from the Liu Family will come back."
"They’re worried that once someone from the Liu Family returns, there will be a reckoning, and they won’t have a good outcome." Zhang Yu understood their thinking.
"That’s true." Li Cui thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it, not overthinking it, there are a lot of people like that."
"Just don’t engage with them in the future." Li Cui quickly began to organize things; furniture and such needed to be stored in the warehouse, clothes and items they needed right away, taken to the police station.
Neighbors who were washing clothes in the courtyard saw the movements of the Zhang Family and came to the door, "What are you guys doing?"
They knew the Zhang Family was going to renovate the house but didn’t expect it to be so fast, "You are going to renovate the house now?"
Li Cui replied, "Yes, it just happens the master is available, and there’s a place to store furniture, so we’ll renovate the house early."
"You already found a place to put the furniture?" Even if it’s little furniture, there are often quite a lot of things; surely, you need at least a room to store it.
"There’s just an empty room at the street side, so I rented it for a month." Li Cui was not the type to take advantage, especially now when everyone knows their family has money, she really didn’t want to take advantage.
"Yes, your family has money." A neighbor said sourly.
"Money is due to my dad’s fate." Zhang Yu came out directly, "If I could, I wouldn’t want anything to happen to my dad."
"If it happened to you, would you want it?" Zhang Yu retorted.
The few present could only shake their heads, indicating they did not desire such fortune.
"So about our family having money, you don’t need to mention it; if you do, I can say if you envy it, you can consider this approach."
Zhang Yu didn’t care if the others were angered to the point of bursting; they had already been speaking bluntly, why should she speak kindly?
Her words naturally stirred everyone, "Zhang Yu, how can you talk like that."
"Exactly, at your age, don’t speak so sharply."
Sharp? Zhang Yu smiled, "How am I speaking sharply? I just thought you were quite envious, weren’t you?"
"So I casually made a suggestion, and when the same words are said by you, it’s normal; when I say it, it’s sharp."
"Aren’t your actions excessive?" Zhang Yu directly rebuffed without restraint.
"Even if there are many of you, we don’t fear; after all, you all know I am a bit prickly." Zhang Yu was straightforward.
"You dare not speak directly about how the Liu Family schemed against my family but can speak of us like this?"
"Think my family is easy to bully?" Zhang Yu scanned the crowd, "You can all know my family is not easy to bully either."
After saying that, Zhang Yu returned to the house to continue organizing things. As for the neighbors standing at the door with bad faces, sorry, Zhang Yu really didn’t care.
Li Cui glanced at everyone, then turned and went back to organize things.
The scene was quiet, and it took a while for someone to speak up, "Showing off with a bit of money, let’s see who helps when they encounter problems."
"That’s right." A few people said angrily and walked away.
Neither the original owner nor Zhang Yu really knew them well, and hearing such words didn’t stir much emotion.
Li Cui sighed lightly at the side again, "These are neighbors."
The old lady who had just decided to keep to herself behind closed doors was now changing her mind again.
"Grandma, when we get there, are you planning to eat at the canteen or cook for yourself?" Zhang Yu learned about the police station’s canteen after starting work.
Of course, the main reason is that the transport team next door counts as one unit, so the unit also has a canteen supplying three meals a day, though not to expect great taste.
Li Cui had never eaten at the police station’s canteen, but she already knew, "I’ll buy some groceries, cook simple dishes, and get rice from the canteen."
Cooking dishes and stewing soup is quite convenient, Li Cui remembered that she used to work, sometimes at the police station.
Of course, working was the priority, Li Cui efficiently organized the items, knowing they were going to renovate the house, she started tidying up.
Soon, everything was organized. Zhang Yu directly went outside to call the cart master, after negotiating a fee of two yuan with him, he efficiently completed the job.
After a few trips, everything was moved to where it needed to go, "Grandma, see, when money can solve it, it’s not a problem."
Zhang Yu watched the efficiently working cart master, "Grandma, see, you often say maintaining good relations with neighbors ensures we have help when encountering problems."
"But whether it was my dad’s death or renovating our house and moving things, they never came forward."
