Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 602 - 601: Is it a Girl or a Dog?

Chapter 602: Chapter 601: Is it a Girl or a Dog?

Lin Nianhe has two sets of high school textbooks from ten years ago.

Comrade Old Lin brought them over.

As to why there are two sets, and who the second set is for... Mr. Lin didn’t say; it was all up to Lin Nianhe to figure out.

Su Yuncheng originally returned to Lan County just to check on something about Feng Yuanshan’s cousin Huang Aihua, but he didn’t expect that when he returned, he would bring back half a truckload of books and exercises.

After he got home and opened the handwritten exercise book Lin Nianhe had given him, he was slightly stunned.

A small heart was drawn in the bottom right corner of the notebook.

He flipped through a few more pages and found a different pattern in the same spot on each page.

Su Yuncheng’s lips slightly curved upwards, and he didn’t flip through the notebook any further, treating it as a daily reading reward.

During Su Yuncheng’s stay in Lan County, there were two particularly sorrowful individuals.

One was Duan Hongmei, who had been beaten twice.

This fight was just the trigger. Due to her previous wrongdoings, she was about to be sent to a farm, and the medical bills she owed to the Nine-Miles Team had become bad debts—He Aimin called Duan Hongmei’s father’s unit only to find out that Mr. Duan had passed away due to illness at the end of last year, and her mother had remarried and was unreachable.

It was only then He Aimin realized that Duan Hongmei had desperately swallowed iron balls to return to the city last year to take over her father’s position.

After making rounds to find Mrs. Duan, as soon as it was mentioned that money was involved, Mrs. Duan crudely responded "Don’t bother treating her" and hung up the phone, refusing to answer further calls.

There was no other way; the money from Nine-miles Team was from public account and couldn’t be lost, so Wong Xiao had to gather everyone to pool donations, and several leaders cleaned out their wallets to cover the debt.

Now, all that was left was for Duan Hongmei to heal from her injuries before she could be packed and shipped off to the farm.

The second sorrowful person was Chang Shihong.

Because Lin Nianhe was often late or left early, he was taken by Li Mo to work as an assistant in the warehouse.

According to Li Mo, Chang Shihong was incompetent and never satisfied when eating, but he had the brawn for laborious tasks like lifting heavy objects.

Chang Shihong was forced to wake up from his grandiose delusions and honestly work as a laborer.

Su Yuncheng left, taking with him the evidence provided by Feng Yuanshan and Lin Nianhe’s silent care, leaving behind the expectations of the Feng Family and Chang Shihong’s longing for a better life.

Chang Shihong was not let down; as soon as Lin Nianhe returned to continue working in the warehouse, he was kicked out by Li Mo for being incompetent and always eating too much, being told to find a cool spot to squat.

The tone and attitude were unmistakably learned from Rong Zhiguo.

Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but be curious and asked, "Big Brother, why does Uncle Chang still let him come over then?"

"That kid caused trouble in Beijing," Li Mo said. "He pissed off a hoodlum, so the Factory Director had him come here to hide."

Lin Nianhe’s eyes slightly narrowed, "Wait, don’t tell me Uncle Chang plans to let him stay here permanently?"

"How did you know?" Li Mo, who had not much foresight, couldn’t understand how Lin Nianhe had guessed it.

Lin Nianhe’s lips trembled slightly: "Hoodlums in Beijing won’t forget their grudges just because he left for a month or two. Uncle Chang letting him come out to hide definitely implies a long stay."

Li Mo nodded, saying, "The Factory Director meant that, after all, Chang Shihong has some skills. If there’s a minor problem with a machine, he can fix it up. You guys don’t need to pay him salary; just keep him here under the guise of being sent from outside."

Lin Nianhe’s brow slightly furrowed: "Is it serious? Do you need my help?"

"I’m not sure what exactly it is. I heard that it was because of a girl, he got into a fight and crippled someone’s leg."

"Well, looks can be deceiving indeed."

Lin Nianhe gasped softly.

If Li Mo had said that Chang Shihong fought someone over an ice pop, she wouldn’t have been so surprised.

A girl? What kind of girl could possibly make Chang Shihong, who only thinks about ice pops and sodas, lose his temper?

"Alright, I’ll mention it to Uncle Wong tonight," Lin Nianhe said, "But him loafing around isn’t good either; I’ll see if I can find him some work."

"Fair enough, you handle it. You decide."

Before leaving work that evening, Lin Nianhe went to talk to Wong Xiao about this matter.

Wong Xiao had a rather good impression of the foolish youngster Chang Shihong and nodded on hearing this: "Alright, that’s timely; the match factory is newly built, and the textile factory is short-staffed too. I remember Chang saying he can drive, so if nothing else works, he can drive for deliveries."

Wong Xiao also felt that they couldn’t really let Chang Shihong idle around too much as well, because too much idle time can ruin a good kid.

"I’ll give Uncle Chang a call."

Lin Nianhe said this and dialed the number.

"Hello, Beijing Machinery Factory, this is Chang Jinzhong."

"Uncle Chang, hello, this is Lin Nianhe," Lin Nianhe greeted cheerfully, "How have you been feeling lately?"

"Fair, I’m pretty good." Chang Jinzhong clearly wasn’t doing too well; receiving Lin Nianhe’s call made him nervous immediately, "Xiao Lin, did that rascal cause trouble for you guys?"

"No, no," Lin Nianhe immediately denied, "Brother Chang is doing very well here, in fact, our boss was just praising him earlier."

Chang Shihong was indeed providing some entertainment value; Wong Xiao had sprouted a few more black hairs recently.

"You don’t have to fool me anymore, I’d be grateful if that kid stays alive!" Chang Jinzhong sighed, a bit embarrassed, "You see, Xiao Lin, things were urgent before and I didn’t get a chance to tell you..."

Chang Jinzhong really had been too preoccupied.

Now, he had to deal with the production of hand-operated threshing machines, constantly hassled by troublemakers; he was completely worn out and forgot to call Lin Nianhe to explain the situation after sending Chang Shihong off.

"You don’t have to say more, the Big Brother told me already," Lin Nianhe said smiling, "Here’s the thing, our boss thinks it’s no issue for Brother Chang to stay, but we wanted to consult your opinion on whether we should arrange another position for him, to spare him the boredom of being away from home."

Across the line, Wong Xiao almost couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Boredom of being away from home?

More like they were worried he might stir up more trouble.

"That’s up to you to arrange, I have no objections!" Chang Jinzhong quickly replied, "Xiao Lin, please mention to Mr. Wong, you handle that kid however you see fit; if he disobeys, beat him; if he’s wrong, punish him; don’t worry about giving me face!"

Hearing Chang Jinzhong’s resolute tone, Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity: "Uncle Chang, if you don’t mind me asking, what exactly did Brother Chang do?"

As a professional gossip observer, she could size up the gravity of the situation from Chang Jinzhong’s tone.

"Him? He set up a fight over a dog, and that bastard used a shovel to break someone’s leg!"

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

Huh?

What happened to the girl story?
