[R18] Tenant (Rough Man H) – “The Tenant (Rough Man H)” 5. Introduced by your brother [English]
byHe Lu narrowed her eyes because of the spray, “They asked me for an invoice, and I said it could be ten yuan less.”
Mother He raised her hand and slapped her on the forehead, “Thirty-seven-twenty-one, the two hundred-one loss will be deducted from your pocket money!”
“Pfft—no!”
“That’s right!”
… Did she step on dog poop today?
In front of the front building of the B&B is a small courtyard of about 100 square meters. There is a small wooden shed on the left and a floor fan next to it.
Neither He Lu nor She’s mother are used to air conditioning, except when it’s too hot, so they usually eat outside with the fan blowing on.
When Cheng Yaokun parked his car and came in, mother and daughter had just set the table and were getting ready to eat.
When He Lu saw he come in, she immediately lowered her head and remained silent. Then He’s mother enthusiastically invited Cheng Yaokun to have something to eat together.
Cheng Yaokun naturally saw that his mother was being polite to him, smiled and declined, and walked directly to the backyard.
Seeing Cheng Yaokun disappear, He Lu held the bowl and lowered her voice to Mother He: “Mom, let me tell you…”
He Lu told Mother He about her worries, but Mother He looked at her and replied, “I was introduced by your brother Du Kai.”
Du Kai is the nephew of He Lu’s uncle. He is considered a well-known local person. He has been in prison and was released half a year ago.
Upon hearing that the person was introduced by Du Kai, He Lu thought about how she had been guarding against him before, and suddenly felt very embarrassed.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Brother Du Kai introduced me?” He Lu complained.
“You didn’t ask.”
Does she have to ask before she can tell?!
He Lu frowned and lowered her head, and said deliberately: “The person introduced by Brother Du Kai still charges one hundred and twenty…”
Mother He replied nonchalantly, “Do you know what it means to do business with acquaintances?”
“…”Mom, you are awesome!
After dinner, He Lu did not go back to the room after cleaning up. Instead, she crawled on the counter and took a nap.
She just thought about meeting Cheng Yaokun and showing kindness to him to solve her previous embarrassing behavior.
However, when it was time for school, she didn’t see anyone there, so she could only put on her schoolbag in despair and ride her bicycle to school.
Because she had to make up classes in the afternoon, school usually ended around six o’clock, so He Lu always bought something to eat in the school cafeteria or at the school gate, and continued her evening self-study at 7:30 p.m.
After evening self-study at nine o’clock, He Lu rode her bicycle back as usual. On the way, what happened at noon kept flashing through her mind.
Just when she could see the branch road that branched off into the field path from a distance, several motorcycles suddenly passed by her whistling hooligan whistles.
In the past two years, the government has been developing our area. The surrounding villages have been demolished due to the construction of highways, and many have become rich overnight.
And many of those young people whose families became rich overnight have embarked on the road of no return by burying their loved ones in the speedster gang.
In the evening, groups of people drove into the city to have fun. He Lu often encountered them when she returned from her late self-study.
The hooligan whistle was nothing at all. She had even encountered someone who slowed down the car and chased her and called her a beautiful woman.
But he just yelled after her twice, and when he saw that she didn’t pay attention, he left in boredom.
So He Lu didn’t take it too seriously and just rode her bicycle.
However, the several motorcycles in front of them that had gone far suddenly stopped, turned around and rode back.
Seeing this, He Lu felt wary in her heart. She lowered her head slightly and let the big braid on her chest hang down, covering her face and minimizing her presence.
