C91 (1/2)
These few times, it was Gu Lin Huan who paid the rent, so Lin Susu and her grandfather were not familiar with each other.
After hesitating for a while, she put it back in the drawer and pointed out the 700 yuan. She handed it over to Gu Lin Huan and said awkwardly, ”Huanhuan, we have no money in our house now, I haven't even paid my royalties yet, so you should send the two month's rent to Grandpa Chang first. After two weeks, I'll spend the rest of it and then hand it over to you.”
Gu Lin Huan raised her head and looked at Lin Susu's slightly haggard face. Her heart ached.
She knew that for the past six months, especially the two months, they had lived frugally.
She had spent almost all of her savings and it was hard for her to pay for her family with just the money she had to spend. Their expenses had been reduced a lot in the past two months, so she still couldn't make ends meet.
Even Gu Lin Huan knew about it, but at that time, she had been studying in a muddled state, so she couldn't care less.
Originally, she wanted to earn some money while going to school, but the quest of the System was so difficult, so all of her time was spent on studying. She did not say much about sleeping time, and did not have the time or energy to earn money.
She had worked hard for half a year, and in the end, she had ended up being falsely accused of cheating and being expelled.
”Alright!” Gu Lin Huan took the money and walked out the door.
Ah, no matter who the person behind her was, if she wanted to expel her, she had no way. If no one cared about her, she would cause a ruckus. Once trouble spread to the county, the capital, she wouldn't believe it.
Gu Lin Huan gave Grandpa Chang a call in advance before riding her bicycle to the Embroidery Residence.
When she arrived, Grandpa Chang was playing with Bei Bei. Bei Bei liked Gu Lin Huan, so when he saw her, he wanted to rush over.
Gu Lin Huan stood at the door and repeatedly waved her hands: ”Bei Bei, elder sister can't play with you today. Elder sister has a cold.”
She took out the money and handed it to Granny Chang, saying in shame, ”Grandma Chang, I'm sorry. I only brought two months' rent today. I'll bring the rest in half a month.”
Granny Chang knew that they did not have enough money to spend, so she took it and said, ”Huanhuan, don't worry. It'll be alright even if you delay it for a few months.”
As he spoke, he called for Gu Lin Huan to come in.
Gu Lin Huan did not enter and bid farewell before leaving. The moment she stepped out of the door, she saw a black car parked downstairs. Following that, a tall man wearing a black fur coat stepped out of the car.
The man, Fang Fang, had a calm expression. He raised his head and looked up the stairs, then said to the young man beside him, ”Xiao Liu, does Elder Chang live here?”
Gu Lin Huan only felt that the man looked somewhat familiar and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The man raised his head to look and turned around. He saw Gu Lin Huan walking past him.
Gu Linhuan did not know that this man was Xiao Zheng.
”Eh? ”Little girl!” Xiao Zheng called out to Gu Lin Huan.
Gu Lin Huan turned her head and stared at Xiao Zheng with her black eyes.
Xiao Zheng was stunned. Even though this little girl was wearing a large mask that covered most of her face, those eyes that were exposed were too beautiful and looked a little familiar. As he stared, he forgot to ask what she wanted to ask.
Little Liu made a phone call and happily said, ”County Chief, I just asked. Elder Chang is on the third floor, let's go up.”
Xiao Zheng nodded and said to Gu Lin Huan, ”My apologies, but I'm fine. Sorry to bother you, young lady.”
Gu Lin Huan nodded and left without a second thought. Suddenly, she thought, 301? Wasn't that Grandpa Chang's home? This person was looking for Grandpa Chang? County Governor? Which county governor? How many County Chiefs did Yuhe County have?
Gu Lin Huan thought while walking. She had already walked to the main entrance.
Suddenly, she stopped.
Gu Lin Huan's eyes lit up as she turned around and ran back.
Gu Lin Huan's eyes lit up. She turned around and ran back. She jogged all the way to Grandpa Chang's building, but the small car was nowhere to be seen.
She thought for a moment, then went upstairs and knocked on Grandpa Chang's door.
”Grandpa Chang, was someone looking for you just now? ”Who is that?” Gu Lin Huan asked.
Grandpa Chang seemed to be angry, but he felt better when he saw Gu Lin Huan. He said: ”Huan Huan, come in. ”What's wrong?”
