Chapter 59: Numb
"Sis, why are you still in Pingjiang? What time is it? School has been in session for at least a month!"

"I took the day off."

On the phone, Wang Yulu hesitated, but finally revealed the truth under Sang Yuke's persistent questioning.

"Keke, I really did ask for leave. Our professors and the department head know. I'm here with Qingqing."

What happened to your classmate?

“She was kicked out of her home, and I’ve been helping her move these past few days. Then something else happened, and she was supposed to go back to school, but then she had to move again, and I’ve been running back and forth between the hospital and the rented place. Qingqing’s mother was beaten and hospitalized, and she only woke up a couple of days ago.”

"Huh?! What's going on?"

Sang Yuke was stunned. What kind of classmate had her cousin gotten herself into? But she was kind-hearted after all and quickly asked, "Are you alright?"

“I’m fine, it’s just that Qingqing isn’t doing well. I’m worried about her, so I’m staying to take care of her.”

"No way, sis, doesn't she have any relatives? Where's her dad?"

"Uh...it's a long story."

When the topic came up, Wang Yulu became hesitant again, clearly indicating that there was something going on, and it involved some private matters concerning her classmate Li Jiaqing.

"As for your uncle, let me explain to the shopkeeper. He's very busy right now. He got into a fight with peanut collectors in Wuhui County back home, and it even escalated to the county level. But right now he's helping the county collect peanuts and melon seeds, so he hasn't suffered any losses."

"Oh?! Is my dad alright?!"

"It's alright. More than a hundred men from Dongsangjiazhuang went there, all of them in cars. The manager arranged forty cars."

Forty vehicles?!

Wang Yulu's voice suddenly rose, and she even doubted that she had heard the numbers correctly.

Then the two sisters talked in detail, and Wang Yulu learned that her father had now become a "big boss" and that his business was well-known in their hometown of Wuhui County.

"Hehe, the shopkeeper told my uncle to go all out and he'll get him an Audi later. Sis, do you know what an Audi is?"

"Screw you, do you think I don't know Audi?"

After chuckling and scolding, Wang Yulu suddenly opened up and said, "Sigh, I don't know when Qingqing will recover. The school told me not to waste too much time, otherwise it will affect her credits."

"The shopkeeper said that if anything happens to you, the two of us will go over tomorrow to see if we can help. Sister, don't worry, with the shopkeeper here, everything will be fine."

"Row."

Wang Yulu nodded in agreement and thought about it. Indeed, her cousin's husband did seem like someone who could resolve things.

Moreover, Jiyang City is quite close to Pingjiang City, so it will be easy to help them when the time comes.

In the evening, Zhang Daxiang finished drawing the assembly diagram and went home. Next month, he would be able to maximize the daily processing capacity of sunflower seeds, and in November, he could start distributing them to the main wholesale markets in Jiyang City.

This placement wasn't about him hauling goods to sell; rather, Shen Guangen was helping wholesalers find sources of goods, acting as a go-between, with Jiyang City acting as guarantor.

This business deal was absolutely safe, with credit backing and no need to sign contracts with officials. Shen Guangen handled things quite well.

After all, if the debt collection takes three to five years, whether you earn 15 million or 50 cents is just a number; if the money isn't received by the day, it's all gone.

The current situation is just right.

"Sister Yu, what did Uncle say?"

“My uncle said he knew about what happened to my cousin, so I asked her about it later. She said that something bad happened to her classmate's family. Apparently, they were kicked out of their home, and her mother was beaten. It was quite serious; she was hospitalized for a while…”

Dinner included "Cuttlefish and Pork Rib Soup," a dish that Sang Yuke had just learned to make. It was stewed in a clay pot, and the soup was fresh and delicious. It's a famous local soup from Jiangnan West Road.

After placing the casserole on the table, Sang Yuke, who was holding a towel, suddenly sat down and asked Zhang Daxiang curiously, clutching the towel meant for heat insulation, "Hey, shopkeeper, if this is our own home, how come we were kicked out, and why was Mom beaten? Was it my cousin's classmate's dad who beat her?"

"Who knows? But given the atmosphere in Pingjiang..."

Zhang Daxiang thought for a moment and said, "It's not like a normal family would have domestic violence, especially with a college student in the family, the probability of domestic violence is even lower. I think there must be some unspeakable reason. Let's go and see tomorrow, and help if we can, so that your cousin can get back to school as soon as possible." "That's true."

Nodding, Sang Yuke felt that making wild guesses was indeed unnecessary.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, Zhang Daxiang prepared some things, including bank cards and cash, and drove Sang Yuke to Pingjiang again.

When she saw Wang Yulu again, her cousin held Sang Yuke's hand, unable to hide her joy, after all, they had met again.

"Wow, Keke, you always look different every time I see you. You look so radiant today, your skin is so soft and supple."

"They don't have to do any work normally, so they can just stay at home and rest."

Sang Yuke felt a secret thrill, stealing a glance at Zhang Daxiang, her heart filled with a romantic feeling; her man was truly powerful…

That was awesome!
When he gets really into it, the shopkeeper has his old habit of slapping him, and it really hurts.

I instinctively wanted to touch it, but I didn't know if there was a handprint on it yet.

However, Sang Yuke quickly forgot about the slap mark because she was directly shocked by the gossip from her cousin's classmate's family.

Even Zhang Daxiang, who had been keeping quiet, joined in the fun.

"What do you mean? Sis, are you saying your classmate's dad has a first wife?"

"Ah."

"Your classmate is a mistress... oh no, I mean your classmate's mother is a mistress?"

"Ah."

"The house they were staying at that day was still registered under the first wife's name. Was it the first wife who kicked them out?"

"Ah."

Sang Yuke's brain, which already lacked processing power, felt a little hot at this moment.

Last time I came here, I saw my cousin's classmate. Her clothes, her demeanor, and her overall presence really gave her the air of a city girl.

Still a college student...

Sang Yuke used to be quite envious of her, thinking she had a good temperament.

Looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be working very well.

"Sister, are you able to go back to school now?"

"I can, but I'm worried about Qingqing. Her mental state isn't very good right now..."

"How about we go take a look together in a bit? But I'm not good at saying anything comforting. How about I bring her mother some fruit?"

"I'm so sorry to have worried you..."

Wang Yulu looked guilty. It was really wrong of her to involve her cousin and cousin's husband in her classmate's affairs.

"Let's go take a look first."

Zhang Daxiang thought his cousin was kind-hearted; she'd give him a little something if she could, but nothing else. He believed college students should get back to school as soon as possible.

However, as soon as the three arrived at the hospital and found the ward, Zhang Daxiang and his companions were dumbfounded. A nurse came and said that the mother and daughter had just taken a large amount of "Dream Resurrection Pills" and were undergoing gastric lavage and emergency treatment.

Damn it...

Zhang Daxiang was completely numb.
