Chapter 440 Jinling

Three days later, Hong Dabao's beauty and cosmetics store opened. Fang Bai and a group of classmates went to congratulate him. Xia Chenyu and Ruan Hongpeng also went around one after another. Just find a reason to leave first.

Those who congratulated Hong Dabao were basically his classmates. Xia Chenyu and Ruan Hongpeng also understood that if they, the two "big shots" in the eyes of Hong Dabao and others, stayed, they would make others feel restrained. left.

For the next two days, Fang Bai ate a few meals with Xia Chenyu, gave her advice on some cultivation issues, and then drove to Jinling alone.

The reason why they rushed to Jinling in such a hurry was because Qin Yaoluo had news of Zhou Dabai's family.

Although Jinling has a population of millions, it is not easy to find someone, but the Qin family is the largest family in Jinling, not only rich in financial resources, but also has a large network of contacts. The whole family's strength was mobilized, and it took only two days to find someone. They went to the residence of Zhou Dabai's family.

The Qin family did not disturb the normal life of Zhou Dabai's family, but informed Fang Bai of their detailed address through Qin Yaoluo's mouth, and then quietly withdrew from this matter.

When Fang Bai arrived in Jinling, it was around eight o'clock in the morning. He didn't tell Qin Yaoluo the news of his arrival. According to the address Qin Yaoluo provided, he drove directly to an area in the urban-rural junction in the northwest corner of Jinling.

Most of the buildings in this area are one-story tile-roofed houses that have been around for a long time, and there are also some small buildings with two or three floors, but they all look old.

The streets in this area are not only narrow, but due to years of disrepair, the roads are also full of potholes, making it difficult for cars to drive in. Fang Bai simply parked his car in a nearby parking lot, then got out of the car and walked in.

Walking forward for two or three miles along a street full of puddles and mud, a small courtyard consisting of three one-story houses appeared on the north side of the road. Fang Bai looked at the house number of the small courtyard, and after confirming that it was here, Slowly pushed open the double wooden doors painted with black paint, and walked in lightly.

It is far away from the downtown area, without the hustle and bustle of pedestrians and vehicles. The yard looks very quiet. Under a jujube tree whose branches and leaves have fallen off, a middle-aged man in a worn jacket is squatting there brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth.

When the middle-aged man heard the door knock, he looked up, and when he saw Fang Bai who was smiling, his expression froze in disbelief.

"Uncle Zhou!"

Fang Bai walked up to the man and called out softly.

"Fang Bai!"

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, and lost his voice: "You...how...how did you come here? This...is Dabai telling you the address?

The middle-aged man is Zhou Dabai's father, Zhou Houde.

In Fang Bai's memory, the father and son Zhou Houde and Zhou Dabai were almost carved out of the same mold. They were tall, white and fat, and when they greeted people, they always smiled, like Maitreya Buddha.

In the past, Zhou Houde was very clean. Although the clothes he wore were not famous brands, they were always ironed and clean. He would shave his beard clean when he went out every day.

It was Zhou Houde in front of him, as if he was a different person, he had lost a lot of weight, his skin was much darker, and his expression was full of gloom, obviously this period of time was not going well.

The jacket he was wearing hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time, and it looked dirty and old, as if it came from a garbage dump.

"Dabai didn't tell me, I found this place myself."

Fang Bai looked at Zhou Houde and sighed, "Uncle Zhou, why are you so downcast?"

"well……"

Zhou Houde also sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I borrowed a usury loan to start a business, but in the end I lost all my money and couldn't pay off the debt, so I had to run away... Forget it, let's not mention the past! Fang Bai, sit in the room!" I'll call Dabai right now and ask him to come back and talk to you!"

"Dabai isn't at home?"

"He helps out at a small clinic nearby and earns some pocket money to spend on his own."

"Where's auntie?"

"Aunt Wu, she washes dishes and cleans people in a small hotel not far away, and earns one or two thousand yuan a month. If you come ten minutes later, you may not be able to find I'm here, and I'm ready to go out and look for work!"

"Auntie, are you okay?"

Fang Bai asked again.

In the past, Zhou Dabai’s mother, Wu Yufen, was not in good health and stayed at home to recuperate from her illness. Later, Fang Bai prescribed some medicine for her to be cured. However, Wu Yufen’s physique was too poor. Even if she recovered, she could not do heavy work. , otherwise there is a possibility of recurrence.

The last time Fang Bai returned to Zhongzhou, he wanted to give Wu Yufen another diagnosis and treatment, trying to make her body return to normal, but he didn't expect his family to move to Jinling to avoid debts.

Fang Bai once warned Wu Yucha to take good care of her body, but now she goes to the hotel to do odd jobs to earn money, which shows how miserable their family's life is.

"Uncle Zhou, call Dabai and Aunt Wu to come back! Also, tell them to quit their jobs and stop doing it!"

Fang Bai said seriously.

Fang Bai and Zhou Dabai are close buddies, and the relationship between the two has always been very good. Fang Bai used to have no skills to help Zhou Dabai's family, but now he can do it easily.

Fang Bai planned to let Zhou Dabai's family and himself go back to Zhongzhou, pay their debts for them, and then help them get a house near their own Chinese medicine clinic. The two sides will continue to be neighbors. Sit down and chat.

"Can not be done!"

Zhou Houde shook his head and said: "Dabai and your Auntie Wu's jobs were found with great difficulty. They all resigned, and our family has to drink the northwest wind! You wait, I will call Dabai and ask him to hire you for a long time. Fake, you two good brothers have a good chat! Let your Aunt Wu buy some food at noon, let's sit down and have a meal together!"

"Let me call! What is Dabai's current cell phone number?"

Zhou Houde told Fang Bai his son's cell phone number, and seeing that Fang Bai was using a fruit cell phone, he asked casually, "Fang Bai, has the business of your traditional Chinese medicine center been doing well recently?"

When Zhou Houde took his family out to avoid debts, the business of "Fang's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic" had just picked up. He saw that Fang Bai was wearing nice clothes and using a relatively expensive mobile phone, so he thought their business was better than before.

The life of the old neighbors is getting better and better. While Zhou Houde is happy for them, he can't help but feel a little sad when he thinks that his family has fallen into this situation.

"Okay!"

Fang Bai answered vaguely, then dialed Zhou Dabai's phone, only said "Dabai, I'm Fang Bai, I'm at your house, talking to Uncle Zhou." Then he hung up.
