Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Poor Sap Big Sister 26

The niece, having been mistreated for so many years and having worn herself out with illness, Zhong Li Jing wouldn’t let them off the hook easily.

He looked at Director Zheng and said, ”You people at the steel factory have workers and their families abusing a martyr’s orphan, and even misappropriating the orphan’s money. Your factory needs to account for this.”

Director Zheng hurriedly responded, ”Mr. Zhongli, rest assured, our factory will not let the martyr’s orphan suffer grievance.”

Zhong Li Jing took Yuan Chun away.

When Yuan Chun left, she left empty-handed, not taking any of the pile of ragged luggage, not even a single item of daily use.

It was just too worn out.

The original owner’s toothbrush was something Zhong Yuanfen discarded, used by the original owner for two years, with bristles nearly fallen out.

The towel, who knows how many years it had been used for, had turned into a fishnet.

After Yuan Chun arrived, she secretly used a set of toiletries she took from her space, putting them back after use. She didn’t touch any items the original owner used.

When leaving, she only took a secondary school admission notice and a page torn out from the Zhong family’s household registry with her household information.

”Wenwen, Uncle’s going to take you to the department store first to buy some things. You’ll be reporting to school in a couple of days, so you’ll need to get clothes and bedding ready.”

Yuan Chun shyly smiled and said, ”Uncle, I have money; I secretly saved up more than one hundred yuan by collecting garbage.”

She didn’t tell Zhong Li Jing that she had taken all the Zhong family’s money.

After all, she didn’t really trust Zhong Li Jing.

If Zhong Li Jing truly cared about the original owner, he wouldn’t have let Ma Xiaolan walk away with the original owner’s and Zhong Liming’s inheritance so easily back then.

In the previous life, even when the original owner died, Zhong Li Jing never showed up.

Zhong Li Jing said the Zhongli’s house was affected by the movement, just returned to the city not long ago—what about after that... all these years, it’s impossible to have never had time to see the original owner, right?

If there truly was no time, then why did Zhong Li Jing come now?

What was it in her letter that brought him here?

He wasn’t unavailable, it was simply that the person wasn’t important enough to care about.

If he truly cared, he would have come to find the original owner sooner in the last life, and the original owner wouldn’t have died so miserably.

Therefore, Yuan Chun held back reservations toward Zhong Li Jing.

She wasn’t willing to owe him too much either.

She took out one hundred yuan and said, ”This money is enough for me to buy clothes and bedding. Later on, the school will also provide a living stipend, which will be enough.”

After a pause, she added, ”Uncle, when are you returning to Beijing?”

”In three days.” Zhong Li Jing hurriedly explained, ”Uncle just returned to his post not long ago, there’s a lot of work to handle, can’t take long-term leave. I’ll come see you when there’s time. You must study well.”

Yuan Chun nodded, ”I understand. When Uncle returns to Beijing, please convey to Uncle Wang that future rent payments don’t need to be sent to Ma Xiaolan; they can be sent to my school.”

”Okay, in the future, that money, Uncle will send it to you.”

”Sure, thank you, Uncle.”

The two of them went to the department store, bought a summer blanket, three sets of clothes and shoes, a bunch of daily necessities, and a crossbody schoolbag.

It was all money Yuan Chun didn’t pay; Zhong Li Jing wanted to pay but was rejected by Yuan Chun. However, Zhong Li Jing eventually bought her a watch as a present, ”Wenwen, this is a gift from Uncle for you, you must accept it.”

Yuan Chun had no choice but to accept.

After delivering the items back to the guesthouse, they went to a newly opened small restaurant across the street for a meal.

After coming out of the restaurant, Zhong Li Jing said, ”Wenwen, you head back to the guesthouse to rest first, Uncle has some things to attend to.”

”Alright, Uncle, goodbye.”

Yuan Chun waved and went back to the guesthouse across the street.
