Chapter 1171 — The Arrogant Gou Huli, Part Two
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
And only now did Gou Huli remember the matter!
...
These past two days, Ergoudan had been eating and sleeping at Yu Yuanyuan's home. He had been waiting all along for Yu Xiaoke to bring him the money — and even if not the money, she should at least have sent the address. But of Yu Xiaoke there was no word at all.
These past two days after work, Ergoudan had even gone to wander around near the train station, but still he saw no sign of Yu Xiaoke.
While brooding, Ergoudan also realized that he had truly been cheated!
That little swindler — she really was infuriating! Ergoudan thought that the next time he saw her, he would give her a proper lesson!
But for now, anxious as he was, Ergoudan was utterly helpless! For one thing, he did not know Wei Zhao's address; for another, he did not know Wei Zhao's phone number. He wanted to call back to the village, but he did not know the number of Widow Wang's grocery store, still less Old Man Wei's number!
For a youth who had never left his village, this was sheer blindness! In the past, when he never left the village, there was no need to memorize any phone numbers — when you wanted to find someone you just shouted, and once the loudspeaker called out, who could fail to find whom? But now, Ergoudan thought, even the biggest loudspeaker could never make the whole city hear; Songshan City was simply too big!
So Ergoudan could only help out at Yunhai Shuku's grocery store, doing odd jobs. Fortunately, the Yu family took good care of him — Yu Yuanyuan in particular treated him well — which made Ergoudan somewhat reluctant to leave!
Although they had gotten a sum of money from Xiao Luozi, the Yu family had not given up working. They were diligent, honest people by nature, and this money was still needed to buy a house and expand the shop — it was a mere drop in the bucket!
So Yu Yuanyuan still worked at the burger shop, Yunhai Shuku still ran a grocery store, Mother Yu still did housekeeping, and Ergoudan still helped out at the grocery store.
Today Mother Yu was very happy: the housekeeping company had connected her with a big job — cleaning a villa! If she did this job well, she reckoned she would earn several thousand yuan, and naturally she was delighted! So happily she gathered up all her tools and, following the address from the housekeeping company, went off to that villa to clean...
Before going to work, Mother Yu had made a point of calling Yunhai Shuku and Yu Yuanyuan. Father and daughter were delighted to hear the news, and Yunhai Shuku, stingy as he was, even bought some pork ribs from the market that evening to reward his wife, telling Yu Yuanyuan to stew them to nourish Mother Yu — and incidentally to improve Ergoudan's meals too!
Lately, with Ergoudan making deliveries, the turnover of Yunhai Shuku's grocery store had shot up — from a few hundred yuan a day before to three thousand yuan a day now! The key was that no matter what people bought, Ergoudan delivered it to their door!
Toilet bowls, washbasins, sand, cement — whatever you bought, no matter how many floors up you lived, even if the elevator in a high-rise was broken, Ergoudan would speed the goods to your door, and he charged no delivery fee!
In this way, Yunhai Shuku's business was naturally doing wonderfully!
