Chapter 412: 404. Sangzhi Family’s Debt! (1)

"Sorry, Dandan... but I’m just not used to smelling other people’s breath. Otherwise..."

Pu Sangzhi covered her nose and mouth, feeling quite embarrassed as she apologized to Zhu Dandan, "Otherwise, why don’t you let Wen Miao smell it?"

Zhu Dandan snorted angrily, turned her head, and then set her sights on Wen Miao, "Wen Miao, smell my breath!"

Wen Miao flatly refused her, "Shut up, if you dare come over, I’ll kick you to death!"

"Ah!"

Zhu Dandan shouted angrily, pulling at the facial mask on her face, before she quickly held back, "Ah~ you two are just too much! Such fake sisterly love! How can you despise me like this!"

"It’s not that we despise you... I have a bit of germophobia, you know."

Pu Sangzhi smiled awkwardly, "I’ll teach you a self-testing method. Place your hand in front of your nose, breathe out onto your hand, and you can smell your own breath."

"Hmph! Even if you teach me, I won’t forgive you!" said Zhu Dandan indignantly.

Having said this, she breathed a warm breath onto the palm of her hand, then moved her nose and sniffed her breath.

"Uh..."

Zhu Dandan said, "It smells like Orion pies..."

"You just ate something, that definitely won’t do."

Pu Sangzhi said, "Wait till you brush your teeth, and try again later. But I think you definitely don’t have bad breath, so don’t worry about it too much."

Zhu Dandan pouted her lips high, "But if I didn’t have bad breath, why wouldn’t Fang Chao want to kiss me? If a boy looks at a girl and has no physical reaction, doesn’t that mean he’s not interested, right?"

Wen Miao shook her head, refusing to answer, "Don’t look at me. I don’t have a boyfriend, how would I know what men think."

Zhu Dandan then turned to Pu Sangzhi, as if expecting her to have the answer.

Pu Sangzhi thought for a while, and after a long time managed to utter a few words, "All I know is that Huo Feng has been telling me since last year... to kiss him on his lips. He’s quite a flirt..."

"See!"

Zhu Dandan furrowed her brows tightly, "For a guy, for a physically healthy guy, how could he not want to be intimate with his girlfriend after having one! That’s why I find it so weird! If this continues, I will feel like Fang Chao doesn’t like me much..."

"Don’t overthink it."

Pu Sangzhi could only attempt to reassure Zhu Dandan, "Everyone is different. Maybe Wang Chao is just not that kind of person? His views on love might be more conservative, maybe he cares about other things. Look at how he usually treats you, whether he shows concern for you in daily life. If he truly likes you, he will certainly find ways to be good to you."

"Then..."

Zhu Dandan hesitated for a moment, "He’s usually quite good to me. Whatever I say, he listens to, and he usually buys me whatever I want. By the way, I’m planning to buy some couple accessories and share them with him! Sangzhi, do you want to come with me to shop?"

This thoughtlessly spoken Zhu Dandan immediately shifted the topic, also pulling Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao into a new conversation.

"I don’t want to."

Pu Sangzhi naturally refused, "I don’t want to wear couple things with Huo Feng."

Zhu Dandan pouted, "Then you accompany me! Let’s go shopping on Tangxia Street this weekend!"

Pu Sangzhi still refused, "I’m busy this weekend. From now on, I have to tutor Huo Feng every weekend, so I don’t have any free time."

Zhu Dandan called Wen Miao next, "Wen Miao, then you come with me! We’ll go shopping on Tangxia Street this weekend!"

Wen Miao also mercilessly refused, "I’m also tutoring them on Saturday, I’m busy too. Plus, I don’t have a boyfriend, and I don’t want to spend time on that kind of thing."

"Ah~"

Zhu Dandan angrily exclaimed again, "Neither of you will accompany me! You really won’t accompany me! Such fake sisterly love!"

Wen Miao suggested, "Look it up on Taobao."

Zhu Dandan’s cheeks puffed in anger, her expression resembling a goldfish.

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi suddenly asked Wen Miao, "What’s their learning status now? Any improvement? By the way, how are Chen Ruixiang’s classes affecting them? Do they listen to Chen Ruixiang?"

Wen Miao nodded, "They listen in class quite earnestly, and Chen Ruixiang teaches with care. I was there all last Saturday. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I can also ask Chen Ruixiang. It’s quite good."

Pu Sangzhi, hearing that Chen Ruixiang was getting along well with the ten brothers, felt much more at ease, "That’s good then. Midterms are coming up, so we need to focus on their grades. They’re all paying for tutoring, so we need to take it more seriously."

Wen Miao said, "They even mentioned if there’s great improvement in this midterm, they’ll add more to our tutoring fee. I think that’s quite good, I can earn some money part-time and learn at the same time."

Hearing this, Zhu Dandan felt a bit envious again, "Ah... is there still a spot for me as a tutor? I kind of want to go back..."

"Forget it!"

Wen Miao ruthlessly refused Zhu Dandan, "Chen Ruixiang’s family is poor, he needs this part-time job. You’re not lacking in money, and you don’t teach as well as him, so don’t be greedy!"

Pu Sangzhi also said, "You should just focus on your relationship. I guess it won’t be long before you and Wang Chao get into another argument..."

Zhu Dandan pouted, "Fine, none of you support me, you’re not my good sisters anymore, hmph..."

Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao looked at each other and smiled, tacitly ignoring Zhu Dandan’s words.

Last evening before bed, Pu Sangzhi chatted with Huo Feng on WeChat for a while.

Huo Feng asked her about the rehearsal situation of their class for the Red May program, but Pu Sangzhi didn’t tell him.

Then, as a swap, Huo Feng revealed the progress of his class’s rehearsal to Pu Sangzhi first.

This finally exchanged for some intelligence from Pu Sangzhi’s side.

He then realized that Pu Sangzhi’s side was still modifying the script! Absolutely unhurried!

Therefore, before sleeping, Huo Feng provoked and emphasized their wager again, letting Pu Sangzhi prepare to admit defeat.

His arrogant attitude brought pressure to Pu Sangzhi!

...

The next day, school time still passed very quickly.

Once the schoolwork was over, it was time for afternoon rehearsal.

On Pu Sangzhi’s side, just like yesterday, they were revising the script while rehearsing, passionately carrying the drama performance through to the end.

On Huo Feng’s side, the rehearsal gradually reached an excellent state, meticulously progressing under his well-organized management.

Thus, their academic life gradually passed in a fast-paced and busy rhythm...

Soon, April passed peacefully, and they stepped into the even busier May.

May 1st Labor Day, schools nationwide had a long holiday. Longxiang was no exception...

Since this year’s May 1st Labor Day fell on a Wednesday and couldn’t be connected to the weekend, they could only have a day off independently.

On such a rare day off, Pu Sangzhi didn’t arrange tutoring for Huo Feng and gave him a day off to rest.

Unexpectedly, on such a rare day off, Huo Feng didn’t go out and wreak havoc but gathered his cronies and busily shopped for props, costumes, and re-edited the music for the performance on Red May Day.

Because they needed to prevent the leakage of their program details to Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng unusually didn’t invite Pu Sangzhi to join him on this shopping day.

Thus, Pu Sangzhi was also left out by Huo Feng, idly staying at home on May Day.

However, she wasn’t truly idle.

Because early that day, the shoe factory delivered another large batch of shoe-upper parts, and Pu Sangzhi helped Huifen unload, sort, count, and settle the accounts, spending a lot of time.

Huifen received two months’ wages, seventeen thousand.

Since assembling shoe-uppers was paid by quantity, Huifen earning 17000 by herself in two months shows how hard she worked.

The delivery guy praised Huifen’s quick hands and feet, but to Pu Sangzhi, it was very worrying.

After the delivery guy left, the mother and daughter tidied up the goods, and Huifen immediately started working.

Seeing this, Pu Sangzhi obediently sat beside Huifen, looking at her worriedly, "Mom, do you work very late at night? It was agreed that you wouldn’t work past ten o’clock, but has it gotten later now?"

Huifen naturally denied, "No, my hands have just gotten faster. Doing the same job for a long time makes one skilled and quick, naturally increasing the quantity."

Pu Sangzhi was still not very reassured, "Mom, don’t hide from me if you’re working late... You go to the ancestral hall every Friday lately, missing several days a month, yet the output has increased so much. Are you working until midnight?"

Huifen glanced at Pu Sangzhi’s anxious little face but still denied it, "No, I’m working as usual. Don’t overthink; would I lie to you?"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but worry, "Mom, how much debt do we still owe?"

Huifen calculated, "We originally owed 390,000, the 60,000 grandma gave us was sent to your aunt’s house already, leaving 330,000. We received 17,000 this month; I’ll also send 15,000 to your aunt later, leaving us with 2000 for ourselves. That way, we’ll have 315,000 left. Doesn’t sound so scary now, right?"

Huifen chuckled, her face displaying satisfaction.

"Mom, it’s not much, let’s repay it slowly."

Pu Sangzhi knew, "Today is Labor Day, rest with me."

Huifen still shook her head and refused, "There’s nothing good about resting, working is more practical."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, "Mom, why don’t you use the tutoring money I gave for Qianqian to pay off the debt?"

Huifen gently said, "That money is saved for you, for college tuition later."

"Mom..."

Pu Sangzhi didn’t know what else to say, "I want you to rest, don’t work so hard for money..."

Huifen refused repeatedly, "Mom’s not tired, no need to rest. If you’re idle, call your aunt and tell her we’ll send her 15,000 first."

"Oh..."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, picking up Huifen’s phone, ready to call her aunt.

But before the call was made, Pu Sangzhi accidentally tapped into the message inbox...

Thus, she saw a message her father had sent to Huifen: "Can you wire me ten thousand?"
