Rebirth 96: Peak of Power

In a family area of ​​​​Jingkai District!

When Li Hongru's family was prosperous, he had a villa in the city, but now several members of his family can only squeeze into a house assigned by Li Hongru's mother's work unit.

Li Hongru works in the Education Bureau, and his salary is not very high, so the possibility of changing the status quo in a short period of time is naturally low.

Zhou Pengcheng came to the family area and walked on the road casually.

When he was about to arrive at Li Hongru's house, he also stopped at the door of a store.

"Lady boss, bring me a pack of cigarettes..."

"Little brother, what cigarettes do you want?" The proprietress of the store looked to be in her forties. When she heard that there was a business, she immediately became energetic.

"Just take Bao Ruanzhong..." Zhou Pengcheng said softly.

"Okay..." the landlady said with a smile.

"Madam boss, let me ask you something. Do you have a person named Li Hongru here?" Zhou Pengcheng asked with a smile.

"Li Hongru? Yes, are you looking for him?" The landlady said with some confusion: "You and him are..."

"Oh, he and I were classmates in elementary school. I heard someone said before that he seemed to live here?" Zhou Pengcheng asked casually.

"So they are classmates..." The landlady smiled again, and she said softly: "Hongru does live here, which is a pity. How prosperous was the old Li family back then? But now it has ended up in this situation..."

"I've also heard about some things about Li Hongru's family. It's indeed a bit miserable..." Zhou Pengcheng chatted with the landlady about his family affairs.

The landlady is a very talkative person. She looked at Zhou Pengcheng and said with enthusiasm: "There are a lot of people who see jokes these days. But let me tell you, I am familiar with the old Li family and Hongru. It’s great…”

"Madam boss, I heard that Li Hongru is working in the Education Bureau now? Isn't this a good job?" Zhou Pengcheng asked with a smile.

"The job is pretty respectable, but let me tell you, young man, you don't just care about one thing these days. Let me tell you, Hongru is having a hard time living alone now!" the landlady muttered.

"Isn't life like this, bitter and sweet?" Zhou Pengcheng said with a smile.

"That's true, little brother, you are quite open-minded. But Hongru is a bit too miserable. Now his mother is sick. Not only does he go to work every day to earn money, but he also has to carry his mother to the clinic when he comes back. He will pay him back immediately when he comes back. I have to do laundry and cook, and I have been going back and forth all day, and our neighbors can see it..." the landlady said softly.

"It's quite filial, but since I have to go to the hospital every day, why not stay in the hospital?" Zhou Pengcheng laughed.

"Go to a big hospital. How can their family have the money?" The proprietress rolled her eyes at Zhou Pengcheng.

"That's right..." Zhou Pengcheng nodded, "Oh, by the way, is Li Hongru at home now?"

"He's definitely not at home. He should be with his mother in the small clinic, but judging by the time, he should be back soon..." The landlady looked at the wall clock on the wall, and she also said to Zhou Pengcheng.

"Then how about I wait here?"

"You came today to see Hongru, right? But it's normal for you classmates to have contact with each other."

The landlady explained to herself with some relief.

"I have something to do with him today. Madam boss, has Li Hongru found someone to talk to?" Zhou Pengcheng asked with a smile.

"What's going on? Are you going to introduce someone to Hongru? Hahaha, but he had a date with him before, and it became a big joke a while ago..." The landlady said in a low voice again. It was obvious that she seemed to like Li Li. Hongru's.

Although one person's words cannot mean anything.

Maybe it can be recognized by the neighbors, which actually speaks volumes.

"It's become a joke? What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Pengcheng also frowned slightly. It seems that there are quite a few stories about Li Hongru...
