The Soul Reborn

21. Wet Quyup In The Rain

During the two months Zhu had been here, he had requested over half of Shen Dongyuan's salary. And now, Zhu Haimei did not want to owe him any more. He must try to find his own money because money can solve all his problems.

After Zhu Haimei sent money to the Shen Dongyuan family, their relationship became even more harmonious. Most of the leftovers that Zhu Haimei sold would be brought home for Shen Dongyuan's dinner. When doing homework, Shen Dongyuan would also take the initiative to help Zhu Haimei. Even Shen Dongyuan offered to give him fifty yuan when Zhu Haimei wanted to buy a sofa and a tea table. Zhu Haimei accepted the money from Shen Dongyuan happily and the next day, he returned Shen Dongyuan's money of twenty yuan saying that buying a set of sofas was not expensive.

Shen Dongyuan was in disbelief and asked, "Would the price of a set of sofas be that cheap?"

Zhu Haimei then explained that the sofa he bought was a sofa made in a village, so the price was not so expensive.

But actually to make a sofa set is not cheap. Making a sofa set requires two hundred yuan to buy materials and pay for the labor of the sofa craftsman. However, Zhu Haimei thought that it was better for Shen Dongyuan to use his salary to finance their household needs as well as to dine with his friends. Due to the meager salary, Shen Dongyuan was unable to even throw away his toothpaste, and Zhu Haimei quietly threw away his old toothpaste, then buy a new toothpaste and put it in a cup where you put your teeth.

Actually Shen Dongyuan knew what Zhu Haimei had done. In addition, Zhu Haimei also bought her a new pair of sandals and sportswear. Now, in the living room they have not only a sofa, but also a tea table and a painting that hangs beautifully on the wall of the living room.

Shen Dongyuan saw with his own eyes that Zhu Haimei had changed, but he was still unable to accept Zhu Haimei as a wife.

But Zhu Haimei did not think much of it. He just wanted to make himself feel comfortable while living there.

Although autumn is coming soon, the weather is still very hot.

Although the weather feels very hot and stuffy, but the air feels moist. When Zhu Haimei closed his trading stall, he became alarmed at the sight of the suddenly overcast sky, a sign that it would soon rain.

Since the gas was exhausted, Zhu Haimei had to pull his trolley to the gas filling site first to refill. It took three hours to travel from where he was selling. Zhu Haimei was worried that he would rain down on the road. If I had all the roads paved, the journey would have been easier, but the road there was still full of mounds and holes, so it would be more difficult to pass if it rained.

But if the gas canister is not immediately refilled, Zhu Haimei will also be troubled when selling tomorrow. If he doesn't leave now, tomorrow he won't be able to sell food. After tidying up his wares, the sky was already getting cloudy. However, Zhu Haimei decided to keep going to fill up the gas. He then covered his gas canister with a tarp, while his hand held another tarp. He then pulled his trolley and hurried away.

To be honest, filling up the gas was a test for Zhu Haimei. Every time he returned to his home after filling up the gas, his shoulders would ache, appear flushed and swollen. And if it hurts, his shoulder will take a few days to heal.

When Zhu Haimei was on his way, suddenly a spatter began to fall. He stopped the trolley and immediately wrapped himself in a tarp and rushed away while the streets were not muddled.

When he left to fill the gas, the road he passed was still not too muddy, but when he returned after filling the gas, the road was muddy because of the rain. The wheel was covered in mud and made it difficult to pull the trolley, even the bottom end of his pants were also exposed to mud. Not to mention, Zhu Haimei had to stop frequently and clean the mud on his shoes in order to continue on his way home.

Although it is still summer, but one will definitely get cold if it takes too long to be in the rain. The tarpaulin that Zhu Haimei used to protect him from the rain was useless, as his clothes had been soaking wet ever since. Now Zhu Haimei was so cold that he sneezed many times. He then sighed and hoped that he would not catch a cold.

Zhu Haimei stopped to catch his breath while looking at the gas canister in his trolley. Fortunately he had wrapped the tube tightly, so the tube was not wet at all. He had to take good care of the tank because it was something he used to make a living to survive.

On the other hand, Zhong Yan was looking out the window and feeling shocked.

Wasn't the woman who was having trouble walking by pulling the trolley Zhu Haimei? Thought Zhong Yan.

The bus that Zhong Yan boarded honked as it passed beside Zhu Haimei, and it just so happened that the bus wheel passed through the waterhole causing Zhu Haimei's body to be splashed. Zhong Yan was very confident that all he saw was Zhu Haimei after seeing the shocked and angry expression from the woman's face. 'What did he do by pulling that flat trolley?' Zhong Yan asked inwardly.

After having had a conflict over dinner at Brother Huang's house a few days ago, they never met again. No matter how provocative Zhong Yan was, Zhu Haimei never cared about him and acted as if he did not hear Zhong Yan say.

As it rained down so heavily, Zhong Yan was already unable to see Zhu Haimei anymore as he looked back. Actually Zhong Yan was not out of thought, how could one change so drastically in such a short period of time? Zhu Haimei now turned into someone who worked so hard, even willingly drenched in the rain. Isn't being caught in the rain not at all pleasant?

When he arrived at the bus stop, Zhong Yan got off the bus and felt a cold gust hit his body and made him sneeze immediately, he then wondered if Zhu Haimei would catch a cold after being caught in the rain?

When Zhong Yan arrived home, he saw Zhang Zhonghai was reading a book in the living room.

"It's home yeah, I thought you'd stay in town today." Zhang Zhonghai's greeting to his wife.

Zhong Yan took off his wet clothes while sneezing. "I have to come back here to take a learning plan because tomorrow has to be checked. Quickly make me a glass of brown sugar water, I've been sneezing because of the rain."

Zhang Zhonghai put down his book and immediately put on his sandals, then went to the kitchen.

She wanted to tell her husband about her seeing Zhu Haimei earlier. He was about to tell it, but not because he thought it was none of his business.

The sky became darker as it rained. Zhu Haimei thought that he could return to his small house before dark, but now his trolley was stuck in a ditch. He had used all his energy to pull the trolley, even he lowered his gas cylinder so that the trolley was easier to pull, but the trolley still could not be pulled out except by lifting.

Zhu Haimei's body was already soaked in rain and he already felt cold. After trying to pull the trolley several times, the trolley was still motionless and stuck in the trench. Now he is completely out of energy. Zhu Haimei then crouched down beside his trolley, he was already helpless. There was no one on the way, then who could help him?

Trolleys and gas cylinders were the tools Zhu Haimei needed to sell and make ends meet. He cannot lose those two things.

"Hey...!" Shouted Zhu Haimei, but there was no answer at all except for a gust of cold wind that hit his face.

Zhu Haimei still had half an hour to travel, but there was currently no one around and Zhu Haimei did not know how else to go.

He curled up next to his trolley with a sad feeling.

However, Lin Yutang once said that no life is perfect. If one can live a perfect life, it is not natural It is there as the saying goes, "Someone will be wiser after a hard time, zhu Haimei's mentality had definitely become stronger compared to others. But he still cannot be a cruel person and make himself hate the world.

Life is not always filled with ease, which is why Zhu Haimei must be strong to live it and continue to move forward, he is one of the lucky people who can be reborn. If he still has a soul mate like in his previous life, it means he really wasted this chance to be reborn.

Although his entire body was shivering with coldness, but the firmness within Zhu Haimei's heart grew stronger. After all, he only had to be in this place for one night and tomorrow he could ask others for help, so there was nothing to complain about, he thought to himself.

Now the rain had stopped after it had rained long enough.

The insects began to ring. In that extremely silent field there was suddenly a glimmer of light. This made Zhu Haimei feel happy and immediately stood up by propping his hand on the trolley.

As long as there was someone who could help pull his trolley out, then everything would be fine.
