Chapter 236: Visiting Guo Huan
Yesterday was the day for trading grain with the grocery factory, Shen Meng had placed all the required grains in that old landlord’s mansion early in the morning, only Yu Xueli had the key to unlock the door, and accompanying her for the first transaction was Kong Wenhui.
While others were checking the grains inside, Yu Xueli counted the money on the side. With each pack of ten-yuan bills, her hands trembled as she counted, her heart filled with fear.
Luckily, everything went smoothly. After confirming there was no issue with the money and confirming with Kong Wenhui that the grains were fine as well, she hurriedly left with the money.
Fearing that someone might follow her, she passed through several alleys and ducked into a courtyard, staying for a while. After changing her outfit, she finally left through the backyard.
After returning home with the pack of money, Yu Xueli’s first action was to hide it in the stovehole under the kang. Since they wouldn’t need to heat the kang tonight, it wouldn’t be cold. When she went to Xie Jinghao’s home to pick up her child, Xie Jinghao even left some food for her.
A few yuan a month, and little children don’t eat much; she actually felt somewhat guilty about the amount, initially quoting this price to make Wu Xianglan pay a bit more, Xie Jinghao fully understood that Yu Xueli and her elder sister-in-law were taking advantage of Wu Xianglan!
Yet, coming home late unexpectedly today, she couldn’t help but worry, and both Daya and Xiao Ya were extremely anxious.
"I’m alright; the hospital still closes at the same time. It’s just that there was an old lady today, who I get along well with, she fell seriously ill, barely alive, and I needed to take care of her, that’s why I came home late."
Back when she was still known as Lai Zi’s wife, she used to lie a lot, so now she casually used an excuse; Xie Jinghao didn’t say much.
Though everything went fairly smoothly, holding so much money in her hands, her heart couldn’t calm down, she just hoped that Shen Meng would come back soon.
