Chapter 251: Chapter 250: Sending a Computer to Taiwan

After the guests had left, only Mrs. Zhen and her daughter Zhen Yu returned to the living room. Zhen Yu immediately asked impatiently, "Mom! Why did you agree to it?"

Mrs. Zhen glanced at her, did not answer immediately, but pondered the words Mr. Han had just said to her.

"Halong plans to take Xiao Yu to live with him after hearing about what happened! I asked him to reconsider, as I feel his place isn’t really suitable."

"But the dormitory is definitely not an option! In this case, I think Xiao Yu moving to my place is actually the best choice. What do you think?"

"I am not just doing this to give Halong peace of mind; Xiao Yu is like my own daughter! I’ve watched her grow up since she was little, and the relationship between our two families is there for all to see! She certainly won’t be wronged staying at my place!"

"Of course, I will definitely take care of her as necessary! Can’t let her go astray, can we!"

"Xiao Yu!" Having sorted out her thoughts, Mrs. Zhen said, "There’s really nothing else I can do! The dormitory isn’t an option, and I worry you won’t be able to keep up if you transfer schools. Your dad’s place is even more of a disaster! Where else can you stay if not at the Han Family? The Fu Family? Even if nothing had happened! Given the relationship between our families, I still wouldn’t trust that brat Fu Yu!!"

"Mom, wait a moment!" Mrs. Zhen said so much at once, Zhen Yu only managed to catch two key points, "What do you mean I won’t be able to keep up if I transfer schools? And what does this have to do with my dad?"

"I inquired today! There’s only one middle school next to Qi City No.1 High School, and it is a key school too! Even though it has been restructured, the teaching is still on schedule! By Grade 9, they’ve already finished learning all the material, and Grade 10 is dedicated to review and enhancement! Here in Siying, you still have a year and a half of knowledge to catch up on; it would be surprising if you could keep up there!"

Although Zhen Yu felt that she might be able to keep up, she didn’t want to transfer schools, so she wisely nodded and asked about the other matter, "And what about my dad?"

As soon as Zhen Halong was mentioned, Mrs. Zhen’s long-suppressed anger suddenly exploded!

"Your dad wants to take you to live with him! Pah! What a dream! What does he think my daughter is!!!"

Zhen Yu’s mind was racing...

"Doesn’t he know his own situation?! That young girl isn’t looked after properly, and there’s a heavily pregnant woman! He blatantly wants to use you as a maid! If you really moved there, you’d end up serving his whole family! Thank heavens Uncle Han stopped him, if he really showed up, I swear I’d beat him to death with a broomstick!"

Mom is so powerful!

Zhen Yu looked at Mrs. Zhen, who was protective as a hen with her chicks, and softly consoled, "Mom, don’t be angry, it’s not worth it with someone like him! Even if he begged me, I wouldn’t go!"

"As long as you see it clearly!" Having vented her anger, Mrs. Zhen started to advise Zhen Yu, "You’ll be staying at the Han Family for a year and a half! In someone else’s home, you must do more and talk less! Don’t cause trouble for others or yourself! Play dumb in small matters, but don’t be vague about important ones! Don’t be too lazy! Help out whenever you can!"

"I understand, Mom!" Zhen Yu agreed one by one.

Mrs. Zhen went on, "Help me think, should I give Uncle Han a monthly living allowance for you for this year and a half, or should I come up with some way to compensate them? We can only repay the personal favor slowly, but you’ll be eating and living at their place for over a year, we can’t not pay anything..."

Hearing this, Zhen Yu also felt worried.

The mother and daughter sat opposite each other and discussed for a long time. In the end, Zhen Yu suggested giving the Han Family a computer!

"Mom, my brother must have told you that they are going to have computer classes in high school! Computers will be as common as TVs and washing machines in the future, reaching every household. If we give the Han Family a computer, it would be a rarity not only in Siying but also in the small town. It’s valuable, respectable to talk about, and most importantly, both Ming Yue and Jiaoyang can use it! It won’t be a decorative but useless gift! Do you agree with me?"

Mrs. Zhen pretended to scold, "You’ve said everything, what more can I say?!"

"Mom~~"

Mrs. Zhen compared the cost of a year and a half’s living and boarding fees with the value of a computer, and felt that her family would not be shortchanging the Han Family.

Not only did she not lose out, it actually seemed like she was the one at a loss! But such things aren’t calculated this way...

"Alright! Let’s do as you say!" Mrs. Zhen finally made the decision and agreed to buy a computer in bulk during the Tomb-Sweeping Festival and bring one back for the Han Family.

Thus, the matter of moving into the Han Family’s home was settled.

Come Saturday, Han Mingyue and Han Jiayang went to Zhen Yu’s place early in the morning to help move her packed belongings, in several trips, to Han Mingyue’s bedroom in the Han Family’s house.

From now on, for the next year and a half, this would be Zhen Yu’s bedroom.

As Zhen Yu was ’moving house’, Mrs. Zhen was also in the process of moving.

She had hired a van in advance, packed up everything that could be taken away, and transported it all to the bus station. She also paid for two additional bus tickets to get the stuff onto the bus heading to Qi City.

She had already arranged in advance for Zhang San and Li Si to help at the Qi City end, to take the goods to her new home in Qi City. As soon as everything was delivered, Mrs. Zhen rushed back.

She was planning to start her ’tearful clearance sale’ on Sunday!

The three days suggested by Zhen Yu were extended to five by Mrs. Zhen, and business was exceptionally good on the first day.

Luckily, Zhen Yu didn’t feel at ease and went over to help. Otherwise, with just Mrs. Zhen and Li Li, they would have been absolutely swamped!

It wasn’t just the Zhen Family’s Shoe City; most of the businesses being demolished nearby were offloading stock, but none had banners up like Sincere Shoe City did, nor did they all have loudspeakers to make announcements.

---

Now there was nothing left in the Zhen Family’s house but two sets of bedding and a few pieces of clothing for the mother and daughter. They’d just have to hold out until the weekend of the Tomb-Sweeping Festival, then they would head straight to Qi City with their belongings.

All that was left in the house—firewood, coal, unsold rice and flour, and anything useful left in the storeroom—was given to the Han Family!

This decision was made after discussion between mother and daughter; they couldn’t take it with them anyway, and it was better than giving it away to strangers!

---

A busy week flew by like lightning.

On the last day of the sale, Thursday, Mrs. Zhen, following Zhen Yu’s advice, went all out, even if it meant selling at a loss, to try to clear out the remaining stock as much as possible!

By the time they closed up shop, they finally struggled to clear nearly everything out.

After settling all of Li Li’s wages and commission in cash, Mrs. Zhen handed her a big red envelope that had been prepared earlier.

"Here! Take it!"

"Thank you, Sister Cheng!"

"You’ve been with Cheng for a good while now, and you must have saved up a decent amount of money. Take my advice: either go learn a trade or start your own business! Working for others is never as satisfying as running your own business! I’m heading to Qi City, and this is a good parting for us both. Haha..."
