Chapter 7
The third day of October was different from early in the morning!
Zhang Ma even smiles as she serves breakfast, “I heard magpies chirping in front of the window on the wife’s side as soon as I got up in the morning!”
Yang Yuyan ran in and out of the house in a flurry of excitement, wearing her new clothes to match what shoes, what socks, what hair strings, and her recent favorite powder case with a mirror into the bag, stepping on the floor thumping, not long after the downstairs tenants came up and knocked on the door, and one after another, they poked their heads in the door to look, and asked, “What’s the happy event in the house? ”
Zhang Ma blocked the door very tightly and pushed people with one hand in disgust: “This country is in peace, there are happy events every day!”
Yang Yucan looked at the phone one by one, fidgeting, and kept looking at Zhu Yanshu’s face.
Zhu Yanshu rare today is curled hair rolls out of the bedroom, and did not change clothes, just draped in a morning jacket, slowly and methodically eat noodles, a bowl of noodles finished, she wiped her mouth in a showy manner, and then smiled and asked to look at her morning Yang Yucan: “You want to call to go to call it, a little bit of phone bill does not matter.”
Only then did Yang Yucan spring up from her chair and rush to the phone, nervously pulling it through and saying in a shaky voice: “Hello? Hello, can you connect me to the Golden Mansion?”
Yang Yuyan was 80% sure that Yang Yuchan was calling her boyfriend Ma Tianbao, the person who was going to invite their family for dinner tonight. But the moment she heard “Golden Mansion”, she felt that it wasn’t quite right! Why would someone in a public house need to borrow money to treat their family?
Yang Yuyan asked, “Mom, do you know what Ma Tianbao’s family does?”
Zhu Yanshu was 80% sure that Ma Tianbao was a little redneck! But when she heard “Golden Mansion”, she also muttered. However, she refused to say she didn’t know in front of her daughter, so she glared at Yang Yuyan: “Why don’t you eat quickly? You’re not being honest early in the morning!”
Just asking a question is not honest!
But Yang Yuyan, who was indeed more dishonest than usual this morning, didn’t have the guts to retort and lowered her head to obediently drink the congee.
Yang Yuchan’s phone call connected!
Zhu Yanshu and Yang Yuyan at the table, and Zhang Ma at the kitchen door, all looked over with burning eyes!
Yang Yucan turned her back, held the microphone in her chest, and talked to the other side in a very small voice, and hung up the phone in less than three sentences.
She contentedly put down the phone and turned around, just to see the three people in the house still looking at her.
Yang Yuyan was the most outspoken, propping up the table and poking her head in, ”Why don’t you say more! Mom has said that the phone bill is not important!”
Zhu Yanshu slapped her ass heavily and softened her voice to call out to Yang Yucan, “Come over and eat.”
Yang Yuyan shivered with goosebumps, she had never heard Zhu Yanshu speak so gently.
The rest of the day was still a hard battle. Zhu Yanshu thinks today is a big day, so she’s going to go downstairs to the barber store to get her hair done first, and wait until she’s done before she sets off.
Yang Yuyan had eaten breakfast and brushed her teeth and changed into new clothes, and was also pressed by Zhang Ma to put on hair oil and tie a braid, then she sat on the sofa and waited for Zhu Yanshu to come back in boredom.
The hands on the clock were moving slowly.
Yang Yuchan saw that she was bored and said, “Go get your textbook and memorize it.”
Yang Yuyan’s eyes widened, “I don’t want to!” She stuck over and hugged Yang Yucan’s arm and said, “Sister, tell me what Ma Tianbao’s family does! His last name is Ma, why did you call the Golden Mansion? Is it that Golden Mansion?”
She didn’t know how many people in the city with the surname Jin, but the most famous one was Jin Da Shang.
It was said that Jin Da Shang was a Shanxi man, a luxury merchant! His brother was an ambassador in France, and the old master of the Jin family was still a big official in the Qing court, but unfortunately, the emperor ran away to Heilongjiang now, but the old master of the Jin family is also long gone.
In short, the Golden House can not be bad, in the city of the prestige!
Yang Yuchan blankly glanced at her and pushed her away, “Less next to me, hot!”
Yang Yuyan was pushed by her and tilted on the sofa, when she stood up and walked away, she screamed at her, “It’s already October, when you go out, you need to wear a coat! There’s even a stove burning at night!” Hot damn it!
Yang Yuyan didn’t die, seeing Yang Yucan run away, she da da da da drilled into the kitchen to get Zhang Ma’s words.
She barred the door frame, “Zhang Ma, do you know what Ma Tianbao’s family does?”
Zhang Ma was scrubbing and scrubbing something, she stretched her head to look out at the words and saw that Yang Yucan was not there, she hurriedly hurried over and asked Yang Yuyan in a low voice, “You don’t know? Your sister didn’t tell you?”
Yang Yuyan: “Che! How would she tell me?”
Zhang Ma wiped her hands on her apron and said, “I don’t know either. Your mom and I have been guessing for days, but there’s no trace of her! Your sister usually closes the door and locks all her things, obviously in her own home she’s still acting like a burglar.”
Yang Yuyan’s eyes widened, “You went through her things!”
Zhang Ma gave her a blank look and defended, “Your mom went through it, but I didn’t. How would I dare? I wouldn’t dare!” She shook her hand and went back to her work.
Yang Yuyan couldn’t care less about Ma Tianbao Ma Dibao, hurried back to her own house, turned back to hang the door nose, and then lie on the bed, take out a box under the textbooks on the pillow side of the bed, open the box, and take out an old velvet reddish-colored purse from the inside, which she used to sew by herself when playing with needles and threads. Pulling open the drawstring, she poured out a string of beads that shone with precious light from inside.
This is the one Su Chunjun gave her.
She held the string and looked around the house, feeling that nothing was safe!
Her house is not like Yang Yucan’s house, there is also a lock, can be locked from the inside, her house only has a hook, people in the house can be hung, people are not in the house, the door can only be hidden, convenient to Zhang Ma come in to clean up.
If this is also turned out, she will be killed!
How would she explain that she had received such an expensive item?
She asked Su Chunjun about it, and he said the beads were called tourmaline. She had only seen tourmaline on Taobao before, and the beads were all very small, and the slightly better ones were four figures, and this one was so big and translucent that she didn’t think it would make it to four figures.
It’s all over, it’s all over, it’s all over!
What to do, what to do, what to do!
Where in the world to hide?
She looked to the flower pot, which had already dried out with only soil left in it. Bury it in the soil? No, what if the pot is thrown away?
Hide it in the closet? No good, Zhang Ma would pack the closet!
Under the bed …… The bottom of the bed will definitely be turned over.
At this time, she heard the gate outside slam and Zhu Yanshu called, “Hurry, hurry, hurry! We still have to go out to rent a car! All come out! It’s time to go!”
She could only hurriedly stuff the string of beads into her pocket, pretended to walk out as if nothing had happened, and before she could see what kind of hair Zhu Yanshu had, she boasted, “Mom! You’ve done a great job with your hair!”
Zhu Yanshu stood in front of the door and looked in the mirror, “Is it okay? It cost five dollars!” She tsked twice, obviously feeling the pain.
Zhang Ma brought out the new handbag and shawl prepared for today from the house, served Zhu Yanshu to tidy up, then pulled Yang Yuyan over to look her up and down, and reached out to flatten her wrinkled clothes for her, “Pull out your hand! Making this pocket is not for you to stick your hand in! It won’t look good if you stick your hand in it!”
Yang Yuyan fearfully pulled her hand out, covering the place where she put the skewer to prevent Zhang Ma from touching it, while twisting left and right to hide, “Alright, alright, I’m done!”
Mrs. Zhang: “Why are you hiding? Come here and put on your coat! You’re going out in this weather, you’ll die if you don’t wear a coat!”
Yang Yucchan was wearing a newly bought wool sweater, the dress underneath was made by Xue Ji the last time she went there, and she even put the school’s pin on her body, so that people could see at a glance that she was a senior student of Nanjing University!
Mrs. Zhang looked up and down, nodded her head and smiled, “Quite good, quite good!” And see Yang Yucchan two hands are empty, Yang Yuyan hand has a silver bracelet, Zhu Yanshu left hand an emerald bracelet, right hand a gold watch, neck a pearl necklace.
Zhang Ma shouted, “Mistress, it’s time to buy a watch for Missy to wear, it doesn’t look good for a girl to have an empty body.”
Zhu Yanshu looked Yang Yucan up and down, took off the gold watch in her right hand and handed it over, “Wear it first, and when you go to the department store some other day, I’ll buy you one.”
Yang Yucan happily took it and put it on, saying sweetly, “Thank you mom!”
Zhu Yanshu wrapped one hand around her eldest daughter and led her youngest daughter with one hand, smiling, “Then we’ll go out now.”
Zhang Ma said, “Don’t worry ma’am, I’ll watch over the house, if any guests come, I’ll ask them to leave a message.”
Zhu Yanshu nodded and said as she walked, “If the fire-fighting bureau or the police station comes, just tell them that it’s always been the 5th in the past, and this month it’s still the 5th, not a day later, not a day earlier. Don’t let them in!”
Zhang Ma followed her out, “I know.”
Zhu Yanshu walked to the stairway and remembered one more thing, turned back and said, “If anyone comes to pay the rent, I’ve written it down in the book! You can collect the rent according to the number on it! Check the box when you’re done!”
Mrs. Zhang stood at the door and replied, “I won’t forget!”
The three of them walked out of the gate and onto the street, the yellow cart drivers waiting for customers on both sides of the street immediately dragged their carts over to them and said solicitously, “Ma’am, do you need to use the cart! My car is clean! I wipe it every day!”
“Mistress, take my car! It’s stable, won’t bump Miss!”
“Mistress ……”
Zhu Yanshu picked two cars that looked clean and the driver was clean as well, she took Yang Yuyan in one and let Yang Yucan in the other, after getting into the car, she said, “Go to the Cathay Theater!”
The car driver hurriedly responded, “Yes, ma’am! You and Miss are seated!”
The rest of the cart drivers who weren’t pulling any work spread out and stayed out of the way. These two cart drivers pulled the cart and ran briskly.
Zhu Yanshu put his arm around Yang Yuyan and touched her face: “Did you rub the oil on your face before you came out? The wind is a bit hard today, be careful not to blow your face.”
Yang Yuyan: “I wiped it off.” She looks back at Yang Yucan and makes a face at her.
Zhu Yanshu gently patted her, “Don’t bully your sister.”
Yang Yuyan: “Mom, do you approve of your sister and Ma Tianbao?”
Zhu Yanshu gently sighed, hugged her and said, “If your sister is set on him, there’s nothing I can do. Just waiting for today to see if that boy is reliable.”
Yang Yuyan still couldn’t figure out the relationship between the Golden Mansion and Ma Tianbao.
“His surname is Ma, why does he live in the Jin family?”
Zhu Yan Shu let out another long sigh.
She was already guessing.
It was only feared that this Ma Tianbao’s parents were working as underlings.
Would such a family have any hidden worries?
If the parents were servants, it would be better to have a proper livelihood. Once the main family doesn’t want it and kicks the person out, it would be like adding a burden to Yang Yuchan’s family in the future. Although she has a building, but also do not want to lead the in-laws to live in their own home, then not to mention the rent can not be collected, in the event of being chewed as a desperate family, their mother and daughter three is not enough to swallow a mouthful of other people.
But if that day really comes, she can’t harden her heart to not care about her own daughter, letting her go raise two white dinner by herself.
Zhu Yanshu was talking to someone about the difficulties of marrying off her daughter, and the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
But if she is strongly against it, but also afraid of her daughter in the heat of passion to elope away from home, at that time it is difficult to know whether she will live or die, and how to do it?
Thinking left and right can’t find a way out!
Zhu Yan Shu in the bottom of the heart long sue Buddha God, hope that tonight to see Ma Tianbao is a crippled blind two hundred and fifty, so that she will have a reason to oppose them!
