Chapter 542: Chapter 542

Under Pu Sangzhi’s explanation, Chen Huifen finally realized such an event had happened in this alley!

After Pu Sangzhi had left, Chen Huifen had been working alone, utterly unaware of someone knocking at the door.

Pu Sangzhi said that those men had knocked on their door earlier, which Chen Huifen knew nothing about!

Chen Huifen also felt lucky that she knew nothing...

Otherwise, if she foolishly went to open the door, wouldn’t something bad have happened!

"Mom, mom, what are we going to do?"

Pu Sangzhi, holding Chen Huifen’s hand, rubbed it continuously out of fear, but her palm was still cold.

"Should we move out of here? Should we find another place to live?" Pu Sangzhi asked Chen Huifen.

"Auntie, during this sensitive time, it is essential to move,"

Huo Feng, standing at the door, also said, "If you really have nowhere to go, you can move to the hideout for the time being. It’s at the foot of the mountain, sparsely populated, and quite safe."

Huo Feng knew they had nowhere to go, and at this moment, he felt incredibly fortunate that, as a high school student, he actually had a property!

Although it was shared with his ten sons, Huo Feng believed his sons would understand given the special circumstances.

"Right, mom. Let’s move out for a while?"

Pu Sangzhi was very responsive to Huo Feng’s advice and joined him in persuading Chen Huifen, "If we really have no place to go, let’s stay at Huo Feng’s for a while. It’s really not safe here, mom. School is starting soon, and I’m not at ease leaving you here alone."

Only the last week remained until school started on September 1...

If she could just get through this week, Pu Sangzhi could say she had escaped this crisis.

But it couldn’t just be her who escaped!

Chen Huifen was her only relative; the mother and daughter relied solely on each other and couldn’t be parted.

Pu Sangzhi was genuinely worried about Chen Huifen’s safety!

"Moving out isn’t a solution, is it?"

Chen Huifen looked down at Pu Sangzhi and said, "Isn’t there a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Since they have already checked this alley, I think they might not come here anymore. We can still live here for now. As long as I don’t go out and you go to school, there shouldn’t be too many problems."

Pu Sangzhi, squeezing Chen Huifen’s hand, shook her head, "It’s really not safe! Not safe at all! Leaving you alone here, how can I focus at school? Have you forgotten our time in Shanghai? When I went to school alone, and when I came back after school you had been..."

Chen Huifen, considering this a family disgrace, promptly stopped Pu Sangzhi, "Hiding isn’t a solution. Tell me, until when should we hide? Are we to just keep hiding and not live our lives? How will we clear our debts then?"

Pu Sangzhi, tears nearly spilling out, said, "At a time you’re still worried about debts. If it’s debt collectors, even losing our lives won’t settle that debt! Life is always more important than money, you know that..."

Chen Huifen quietly furrowed her brows, "Let mom think about it."

Pu Sangzhi clung tightly to Chen Huifen.

"Auntie, it’s better to hide for now!"

Huo Feng naturally supported Pu Sangzhi’s view, as he shared the same thoughts.

"At least hide for a month, ensure it’s safe here, then you can move back."

Huo Feng said with a furrowed brow, "Otherwise, how can you two live here at ease? Even if Auntie feels safe, Sangzhi won’t be. Sangzhi is timid and prone to talking in her sleep; in such an environment, how could she sleep well at night?"

Chen Huifen looked up at Huo Feng, knowing he meant well for both of them.

What she hadn’t expected was that, at this critical juncture, there was one more person in the house thinking of solutions for them.

Chen Huifen was deeply grateful to Huo Feng, but she had her reservations.

"I’m nearly done cutting this batch of shoe uppers; let’s at least finish delivering this batch first."

Chen Huifen looked at the batch of goods on the ground, which was all money, and she couldn’t just leave it here.

"Can’t you come back to cut it?" Newest update provıded by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

Pu Sangzhi, her eyes red with urgency and tears swirling, pleaded, "Mom, just pack up and let’s go, please!"

"I’ve promised the master, delivery is tomorrow."

Chen Huifen reached out to stroke Pu Sangzhi’s head, "Mom knows you are scared. Why don’t you leave with Xiaofeng first, and mom will stay one more day, is that okay?"

In a poor family, one always bends for the smallest gains.

Just like at this moment, what Chen Huifen thought of first wasn’t escaping but delivering this batch of shoe uppers.

After this batch of shoe uppers is turned in, there should be around 1000 yuan to mention.

She had been working day and night for so long, and seeing that she could complete and deliver the work tomorrow, she truly didn’t want to give up this money.

Pu Sangzhi shook Chen Huifen’s body, "Mom, stop worrying about the money, let’s go first!"

Seeing Pu Sangzhi so anxious she was about to cry, Chen Huifen really couldn’t keep going either.

"Okay, okay, I’ll call Master Chen now and have him come over to take this batch away. I’ll let him take the uncut ones too... We’ll leave today."

Only then did Pu Sangzhi show a satisfied expression.

"Alright, stop crying."

Chen Huifen touched Pu Sangzhi’s head, looked up at Huo Feng and said, "Xiaofeng, you take her first. I also need to get up and pack things."

Huo Feng obediently stepped forward, took Pu Sangzhi from Chen Huifen’s hands, and led Pu Sangzhi out of the workroom.

"Mom, do you need my help?" Pu Sangzhi turned back and asked Chen Huifen.

Chen Huifen quickly responded, "No need, there’s not much to sort out. I’m calling Master Chen now. You go pack your things too. Don’t forget anything like your textbooks; school is starting soon."

"Okay..." Pu Sangzhi replied.

Afterwards, Pu Sangzhi returned to her room and began to pack the things in her room.

The luggage prepared for a trip was reopened, and Pu Sangzhi took out even more clothes, stuffing them into the suitcase one by one.

Next, she wasn’t going on a trip but moving out of this home.

The biggest difference between moving and traveling is that moving entails preparing a lot of things, taking a lot of things, and discarding a lot of things...

Huo Feng followed Pu Sangzhi into her room and saw her busily packing her suitcase.

Feeling awkward just standing there, he asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Pu Sangzhi immediately said, "Help me pack up my backpack."

"Okay." Huo Feng agreed.

Following that, Huo Feng did as she asked, dutifully packing the things on her desk.

He stuffed Pu Sangzhi’s books hurriedly into the backpack, and it was still not enough!

Seeing that everything couldn’t fit...

Huo Feng opened his black suitcase and frantically stuffed all of Pu Sangzhi’s belongings into it!

Luckily, he had left half of it empty because he was planning to bring back local products.

It was just enough to fit Pu Sangzhi’s things!

While they were busy packing in the room, Chen Huifen suddenly came out from the workroom and said to them, "Master Chen didn’t answer my call; I need to go to the factory to find him. Both of you wait for me here."

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng in unison: "Hey!"

"Auntie, you shouldn’t go out!"

Huo Feng rushed out of the room and hurried to Chen Huifen’s side, "Auntie, you really shouldn’t go, it’s too dangerous outside. If you really need to go, let me go for you. Where is the factory?"

Pu Sangzhi urgently said, "Mom, don’t make trouble, are you trying to scare me?"

Chen Huifen hesitated, "I’ll just go to the factory and I’ll wear a hat, so I shouldn’t be recognized. Besides, didn’t you say those people had already left?"

"Auntie, please don’t go. Let me go, let me go..."

Huo Feng took it upon himself, "Give me the address of the factory, and I’ll go right now."

Seeing them so anxious, Chen Huifen had no choice but to agree with them, "Then I’ll tell you the address of the factory. Thank you for this."

"We shouldn’t be saying such formal words now. I consider myself part of the family, auntie, please don’t treat me like an outsider anymore." Huo Feng said.

With that, Chen Huifen gave Huo Feng the factory address.

After Huo Feng got the factory address, Pu Sangzhi opened the door for him and handed him the keys, telling him to be careful.

Of course, it didn’t matter for Huo Feng to come and go as he pleased.

Pu Sangzhi wasn’t too worried.

But if Chen Huifen were to go, Pu Sangzhi absolutely disagreed!
