This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 339 Liu Zhongyu Confesses His Life Story

There were sounds of laughter coming from outside the door, and the dormitory building was more lively than usual.

Chen Shuning skillfully tied up the bedding, looked up and saw Liu Zhongyu, and smiled and urged: "Zhongyu, what are you standing there for? Hurry and pack your things."

Liu Zhongyu pointed at the bedding on the desk and said softly, "I've packed it! Bring the bedding over, and two sets of clothes will be enough."

Jiang Heping came over and said with a smile: "Shuning, I'll go with you."

Chen Shuning straightened up, gently patted his lower back, and asked, "Heping, the storefront I rented is far from the school. Can you make it back?"

"My brother is here to pick me up. Let him take the things home. I'll go to the tailor shop with you. Zhongyu and I will squeeze in tonight and go home tomorrow."

Meng Zhujun closed the cabinet door and asked sideways, "Heping, aren't you from Shanghai? It takes more than 20 hours to go back by train. It's not safe for you and your brother to go separately, right?"

Looking at Jiang Heping in the distance, with worry in his eyes, he agreed: "Heping, you should go home with your brother! The tailor shop won't run away, you can go back after school starts."

Jiang Heping adjusted the frame of his glasses, gave an awkward smile, and replied, "My parents work in Beijing, so I won't go back to Shanghai."

Liu Zhongyu smiled innocently, biting his lip and said, "Heping, if you don't mind me, we can stay together for the night."

"What are you dissatisfied with?" Jiang Heping patted Liu Zhongyu's quilt and said sincerely, "It's a new cotton quilt. It's very comfortable to cover yourself with!"

Liu Zhongyu's face flushed red as she said innocently, "I'm indebted to Shuning. She gave me a lot of cloth, so I can just buy cotton. This way, I can save a lot of money!"

When Guo Junyue got married, Chen Shuning gave her a wedding quilt. The cotton fabric was bought from a friend of Guo Junyue's, and she brought back scraps of the fabric and gave them to Liu Zhongyu.

Over the past few months, Liu Zhongyu had saved some money. She had some cloth and bought four pounds of cotton to make a new quilt. The quilt she'd been using at the beginning of the semester was as hard as a weight and not warm at all.

Mi Qiaolan curled her lips, secretly cursing at the poor man. She put her bag and bedding on her back and strode out with her head held high.

Meng Zhujun patted her trouser legs, sat down on the bed, looked up and asked, "Zhongyu, are you going home for the New Year?"

Liu Zhongyu shook his head and whispered, "My home is too far away. The round-trip fare is enough to feed me for two months. If I don't go back, I can save the fare and send it to the village chief."

Meng Zhujun frowned slightly and asked, "During the New Year, will you live in the tailor shop?" She sighed and continued, "If you send the money back, what will you do after school starts?"

"Shuning pays me a salary and provides me with food and lodging." Liu Zhongyu took the initiative to pick up Chen Shuning's bedding and continued, "After school starts, I will continue to run my small business and won't have to worry about food."

"Why should we send money to the village chief?" Chen Shuning was filled with doubts. He frowned and asked, "Zhongyu, can't we send it directly to your parents?"

"I don't have parents." Liu Zhongyu lowered his head, his tone revealing endless loss. His nose felt sore, and he choked with sobs as he said, "I was an abandoned baby. The village chief picked me up and raised me, and he gritted his teeth to support my education."

Everyone had a glimmer of understanding in their hearts. No wonder Liu Zhongyu never mentioned his relatives and never received any remittances.

Tears glistened in Xiang Yuanfang's eyes, and he whispered, "Zhongyu, it's not too late to repay the village chief after you start working."

Liu Zhongyu shook his head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied in a deep voice: "The village chief adopted more than one child. I am the eldest, and I have three younger sisters.

I want to take the college entrance exam, but the village chief doesn't have enough money. My sisters have no choice but to drop out of school and work on the land to make ends meet. If I send money back, my sisters can go back to school."

Among the four children, Liu Zhongyu had the best academic performance. The village chief could not afford to support four children, so he had to let the other three children drop out of school and fully support Liu Zhongyu.

Meng Zhujun looked at Liu Zhongyu quietly. At this moment, she became tall in Meng Zhujun's eyes.

"Zhongyu, wait a moment." Meng Zhujun opened her purse, took out a few coins and handed them over: "I don't have much money on me, you can take it first and send it back together."

"No." Liu Zhongyu was embarrassed and pushed Meng Zhujun's hand back: "Zhujun, I can't take your money."

Meng Zhujun withdrew her hand in disappointment, her expression unnatural.

Liu Zhongyu whispered, "Zhu Jun, don't be angry. The village chief has always taught me not to accept money from others. If she knows about this, she will not approve and will scold me."

"Zhongyu, I'm sorry for being so rude." Meng Zhujun smiled again, raised her eyes and said, "Since you're not going back, wait until you're done with the tailor shop and come to my house to celebrate the New Year!"

Meng Zhujun's former friends all wanted to get benefits from her. After hearing Liu Zhongyu's words, Meng Zhujun's first reaction was to pay.

It was not until she was rejected by Liu Zhongyu that Meng Zhujun realized that her behavior of directly giving him money without asking him whether he needed help was indeed inappropriate.

"You can also come to my house." Jiang Heping raised his hand and said excitedly: "My house is quiet, there are only four of us, and no relatives visit. Zhongyu will feel more at ease."

Chen Shuning put on his bag, locked the thermos and washbasin in the cabinet, turned around and said, "I'm spending the New Year in Beijing, but I'm also staying at someone else's house. Zhongyu..."

Chen Feng and his son, Chen Aiguo, will be coming to Beijing in two weeks. One is to attend Guo Junyue's wedding, and the other is to discuss the marriage certificate for Chen Shuning and Guo Junshan.

Guo Junyue got married at the end of the year, and Chen Feng and Chen Aiguo didn't have time to go home, so they simply spent the New Year with Wang Simin.

Wang Simin has a special identity, so Chen Shuning cannot take Liu Zhongyu there.

"Shuning, I understand. Living in a tailor shop is quite nice." Liu Zhongyu said with a smile, "If you're worried about me, you can come find me."

Liu Zhongyu looked at Jiang Heping and asked, "Heping, can I borrow some books? I'm planning to use the New Year holidays to catch up on my studies."

Although they all got into National Tsing Hua University, their levels of achievement were different. Liu Zhongyu's grades weren't good. She was usually busy making money, so she could only seize her free time to study.

"You choose!" Jiang Heping said with a smile, "I can tutor you in my free time."

"I'll help you choose." Meng Zhujun sat on Jiang Heping's bed and said with a smile, "First, pick two books on basic knowledge so you can lay a good foundation. Later, I'll lend you a set of books that will definitely help you improve your grades."

"咚咚-"

"Peace, are you done?"

Jiang Heping jumped up, rushed to the door and opened it: "Brother, I've packed my things. Please help me take them home and tell my parents that I'll be back tomorrow."

Jiang Juntao frowned, looked at Jiang Heping with disapproval, and asked, "Why are you running around? Come home with me."

"I'm not running around. Shuning opened a tailor shop. I'll go take a look." Jiang He said in a flattering tone, "Brother, I want to make new clothes for the New Year, and I'll make one for you too."

Jiang Juntao looked at Chen Shuning and shook his head helplessly. A hint of fondness flashed in his eyes, and he said, "In that case, you two can go together! Comrade Guo Junshan is behind us and will be here soon. I feel more at ease with him around."

Chen Shuming asked suspiciously, "Comrade Jiang Juntao, do you know Guo Junshan?"
