CHAPTER 992: CHAPTER 573: ZHUZI

Huang Yuzhu: "Grandma, don’t move, I’ll serve the rice."

At this moment, the younger brother who was still in elementary school ran over shouting, "Today Grandma went to sell vegetables and made 50 yuan!"

Hearing this, the wrinkles on the old woman’s face relaxed a lot: "There were many people buying vegetables today, I sold out before noon."

She was clearly in a good mood.

Huang Yuzhu, hearing this, felt a heavy weight in his heart, his grandma was 70 years old, each time selling vegetables she had to get up at 2 AM to pick vegetables in the field, when she could return home by 7 AM, and then ride a tricycle to sell vegetables by the roadside near the market, often returning home only by 1 PM.

But for this labor, she could only earn 50 yuan... and that’s considered a good day, usually, she doesn’t even make 50.

Grandma is already 70 years old...

Huang Yuzhu inherited his father’s character, honest and kind, not competing, not owing others any favors.

However, today he just ran a marathon and got a 1000 yuan prize, and after subtracting the 100 yuan Tang Jing spent, he still had 900 yuan, which is equivalent to half a month’s work for Grandma selling vegetables.

If he had run a bit faster back then, as fast as Jiang Ning, and got a 660,000 yuan prize, wouldn’t it mean that Grandma wouldn’t have to toil selling vegetables?

Huang Yuzhu ate in silence.

...

Meanwhile, in another urban residential area, Sunshine Deer Court.

The community’s greenery was quite good, there was even a mini artificial lake, no different from the popular communities of the future.

Tang Jing sat in a pavilion by the lake, looking down at Huang Yuzhu’s missed call on her phone, she was furious, wishing to stomp Huang Yuzhu underfoot, make him kneel and loudly admit he was wrong.

Cunning and deft, she had never lost so miserably!!!

’21 kilometers of marathon, Huang Yuzhu, you can really run!’ Tang Jing’s face twisted a bit, like a madwoman.

Waiting for her at the marathon finish line, how could she finish running?

kilometers is 42 li, let alone running, even walking requires non-stop effort for 4 hours!

Most girls can’t even finish that.

Tang Jing wanted to abandon her cultivated lady image and curse Huang Yuzhu fiercely, vent her anger with ultimate foul words!

Unfortunately, Tang Jing held back.

Thinking of all the previous efforts, if she were to give up now, wouldn’t all her past efforts be in vain?

She had to tie Huang Yuzhu down, make him work like a horse, and launch an attack on Pang Jiao!

Only after using him and then discarding him could she dispel the hatred in her heart and resolve her inner conflict.

Tang Jing’s expression changed for a moment before she calmed down, forcing a fake smile, dispelling her hatred, she picked up the phone and called Huang Yuzhu.

The other side picked up quickly.

"Yuzhu, where are you?"

Huang Yuzhu: "I went home, I didn’t find you at the finish line."

Tang Jing feigned innocence: "Why did you go home so early, didn’t we agree to meet at the finish line? I just got there, was thinking of finding you, you’re making me so sad."

These words made Huang Yuzhu feel guilty, and he quickly apologized: "I’ll come to the finish line to pick you up right away."

Tang Jing’s smile reappeared, "Then remember to come by bike to pick me up, okay?"

"Alright, I’ll definitely come by bike."

After getting the response, Tang Jing felt much better, and when she was sitting on Huang Yuzhu’s bicycle, in close contact, giving him a little sweet favor, wouldn’t he fall for it?

Which hot-blooded young man could resist such temptation?

Thinking of this, Tang Jing’s tone became even more sweet: "Yuzhu, have you eaten?"

Huang Yuzhu’s honest voice came through the speaker, making people feel very grounded: "I just got home, I’m eating now, almost done."

Tang Jing: "What are you eating?"

Huang Yuzhu replied: "There’s some leftover food at home."

Usually, he got home late from school, and the family would have already eaten, so there was only leftover food when he returned, he was used to it.

"Ah, do you normally eat leftovers?" Tang Jing spoke a few more sentences, not mentioning anything else, but Huang Yuzhu’s voice was quite nice, deep and powerful, with a steady pace, like a dependable uncle, quite comforting to hear.

Huang Yuzhu: "Sometimes it’s what my parents leave, sometimes my younger siblings."

Tang Jing: "Doesn’t your family have a dog?"

Huang Yuzhu: "I don’t eat what the dog leaves!"

...

After hanging up the phone, Tang Jing went to the entrance of the community, hailed a taxi, and went to the marathon finish line to wait for Huang Yuzhu’s arrival.

After finishing his meal, Huang Yuzhu glanced at his younger siblings doing homework and reminded them: "I’m heading out, you guys can have the snacks."

"Brother, when will you be back?" the younger brother asked.

Huang Yuzhu: "Around four or five o’clock."

Before leaving, he glanced at the room where his grandma was resting, set off with a mysterious feeling in his heart.

After Huang Yuzhu left.

His younger brother’s eyes darted around, pulled out some snacks, tore open the bag, and ate heartily.

Fully satiated, he stuffed a lot more into his pockets, then ran to Grandma’s room: "Grandma, our school needs to pay material fees!"

The white-haired old woman, her cloudy eyes looked at her grandson, asked: "How much to pay?"

"50 yuan."

"But didn’t we pay last month?"

The little boy said: "All other students have paid, only I haven’t."

Grandma didn’t say anything, she turned around, her gnarled and wrinkled hands counted out 50 yuan, and handed it to her grandson.

The little boy had an even bigger smile after taking the money.

Grandma: "Study well, only good education can lead to success."

"Okay."

She loved her diligent grandson.

After watching her grandson’s happy look for a while.

Grandma continued to sleep.

It didn’t take long; the little boy clutched the 50 yuan and ran out, heading to a black internet café in a nearby alley.

In the smoke-filled internet café, he groped around, found a yellow-haired youth wearing headphones, and shouted: "Big brother, I brought the money, please help me buy Fire Qilin!"
