Chapter 24: The Brain is Growing
Cui Changjia replied calmly while reading the contract, "It's about his parents."

"About his parents? What's about his parents?" He didn't even know that Cui Chengze was so close to Zhang Ce, so what would his sister know?
"Oh, you have a brain full of grass, how can I know anything about his parents? Didn't you say that his family bought a villa in Nanshan? His parents are both paid a fixed salary, how could they afford the villa if there was no trick? I cheated him."

Cui Changjia in her previous life had never heard of Zhang Ce, after all, they had no intersection, but she would think. Zhang Ce's father worked in the grain bureau, and Zhang Ce's mother was an accountant in the winery. Their family bought villas, cars, and motorcycles. Who would believe that there was no trickery?

Cui Chengze said after a while, "Sister, I never thought that one day you would talk about the grass growing in other people's brains."

Cui Changjia looked down at the contract and suddenly laughed. Yes, now she could also say that others had foolish ideas.

She suddenly thought of something, took out 500 yuan and walked over to Cui Chengze and handed it to him, "I guess you don't have any money left, so give it to me when you've spent it."

Cui Chengze looked at it and only took two hundred, "Two hundred is enough."

Cui Changjia put all the money in his hand next to him and said, "Take it. Our family is in great need of money, so this is not a big deal."

After saying that, Cui Changjia left Cui Chengze, turned around to turn off the lights, took off her clothes and went to bed to rest. The moment she lay down, she felt like her soul was about to leave her body, she was so tired.

"Sister," Cui Chengze's voice came from the darkness, "I didn't expect that you would take on all these family affairs in a short time."

This is similar to what Cui Xiuyuan said.

Cui Changjia pulled back the quilt and crawled inside.

This is a residence converted from a sunroom. It is warm during the day, but it is not heat-insulated. Once the sun is gone, the sunroom becomes very cold. Especially now that it is late autumn, the quilt is not that warm either.

Cui Changjia wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and said, "I fell down that day. The moment I fell, I thought it would be great if I died instantly. But the moment I stood up, I suddenly realized that if I'm not afraid of death, what else should I be afraid of? Just do it!"

Cui Chengze said in a muffled voice, "But now I feel like you know everything."

Cui Changjia did not panic after being exposed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Aze, I am just quiet and slow to react. There is nothing wrong with my brain. I have been listening to my parents talk about business since I was a child. How can I be better than others?"

In fact, this is what happened. In her previous life, she always felt that she was inferior to others in this and that, and she was timid in doing things. The more this was the case, the more petty she became. The more petty she became, the more others mocked her. It was as if she had fallen into a vicious cycle and could not get out no matter what.

Later, her family suffered a misfortune. In order to survive, she entrusted Xiaobao to her second uncle's family and went to Suzhou to work alone. At first, she worked as a seamstress in a garment factory, working two shifts a day. During the busiest time, she could work up to 14 hours including overtime. After working like this for half a year, there was a shortage of people in the cutting department and she was transferred there. It was from then on that she discovered that her memory was much better than many people.

She could remember a drawing after showing it two or three times. It was at that time that she met the benefactor of her life - Sister Yu, who was in charge of the warehouse.

Because the clothing factory where she worked was an OEM, many defective or overproduced or returned products in the warehouse were often sold at low prices. After the warehouse supervisor Sister Yu learned about Cui Changjia's situation, she asked her to pack a batch of products and sell them at the night market herself. After all, they were all clearance sales, and she would make money as long as she sold them.

Cui Changjia was afraid to go at first, but Sister Yu's words made him feel relieved.

Sister Yu said helplessly at the time, "You are already in this situation, what else are you afraid of?"

Later, she finally got brave enough. She set up a stall at the night market, sold her products in shops, did wholesale, and opened an online store. After letting go step by step without caring about anything, she found that she was no worse than many people.

Then one day, she realized that people should not put themselves in a box from the beginning. If someone had not kept calling her a "fool", "stereotyped" and "boring", but had been encouraging her, would she have been different a long time ago?
Cui Chengze also laughed. Yes, his sister was not stupid. "Sister, when do you think we can reopen the factory?"

"When do you want to open it?"

"The sooner the better."

"First, I'll collect the accounts, and then think about the factory. When I have some money, I'll find a factory and slowly clean it up. When everything is almost done, my brother will probably be able to be discharged from the hospital."

Someone needs to keep an eye on production in the factory. Neither Cui Changjia nor Cui Chengze can do this job, so it still depends on the eldest brother Cui Xiuyuan.

"Really?" Cui Chengze was very excited, but soon said with some frustration, "But, it's not that easy to open it just by saying it. It would be great if Daddy woke up."

"Don't think about it for now." Even if Cui Wenquan woke up, it would be impossible to put pressure on him. Cui Changjia changed the subject, "Aze, have you thought about what to do with school? Will you go back to school after a while, or take a leave of absence and retake the course next year?"

Cui Chengze thought for a while and said, "I am already a senior this year. It won't take long for me to find an internship next year. If I take a leave of absence, I will waste another year. I want to go back after a while. Sister, if I go to school, my family will be here."

"I also tend to think that you should go back after a while. You don't have to worry about the family. Big brother should recover quickly after the surgery. It doesn't matter if his legs are not in good condition, but you can watch him work."

The brother and sister talked about the next arrangements through the curtain, adding endless warmth to the quiet and cold night.

Many years later, even though Cui Chengze was able to take on responsibilities, he still habitually went to his sister to talk about things. Even if his sister did not express her opinion and just listened to him, he felt at ease.

Cui Xiuyuan's operation took more than an hour longer than expected, nearly six hours to complete. According to the nurse, two boxes of iodine were used just for flushing. Jiang Hongying's eyes turned red as she watched Cui Xiuyuan's lower body wrapped like a mummy.

"The operation was very successful. The next step is to fight infection. It would be best if he had someone to look after him 24 hours a day within a week. Disinfection and dressing changes are very important." Chief surgeon Huo earnestly instructed, "During this period, you must keep Xiuyuan in a good mood. Mental state is very important. Tell him the good things about the family and don't put him under psychological pressure."

Originally Jiang Hongying felt sorry for the money and didn't want Xiang Sao to come back, but now she had to ask her to come back.

Fortunately, as soon as Xiang Sao heard Jiang Hongying calling her, she came and said that even if she was not paid, she would stay as long as she was needed.

When Cui Xiuyuan woke up from anesthesia, Cui Changjia left. She had other things to do. She had to go to Dongyue Wood Industry to find Xu Changhe and talk about ecological boards.

Who knew that Cui Changjia had just come out when Cui Chengze caught up with her, "Sister, where are you going? I'll go with you."

"Why are you here? Big brother needs to turn over here. Mom can't do it alone. You can stay here."

"My second uncle called mom and told her to come over. Sister Xiang will be here soon too. I can just come over to keep her company tonight."

That's true. Seeing this, Cui Changjia took Cui Chengze with him.

When Cui Changjia was almost at Dongyue Wood Industry, she received a call from the repair shop, saying that there was a tire problem and asking her to give herself time to change it.

"Hey, sister, you know what, that boss Xu Junwei is quite honest." Cui Chengze praised.

“Many people who do business are honest.”

"What's the big deal? Look at our customers. They used to be very supportive of us. But now that we have problems, they won't pay us for the goods."

It's autumn now, and the sunlight is not as strong, but the flowers, plants and trees on both sides of the road have changed color. Green, yellow, red... all kinds of colors are intertwined together, which is extremely beautiful.

After all, it is better to be alive, Cui Changjia sighed inwardly, saying nonchalantly, "It's different."

Cui Chengze was puzzled, "Why is it different?"

"The fire in our house burned tens of millions of dollars. No one's money comes from the wind. Who would be willing to throw it into a bottomless pit? Only a fool would stay away from it."

There is a reason why Cui Chengze remained silent.

When they arrived at the gate of Dongyue Wood Industry, the security guard initially refused to let them in. Cui Changjia contacted Xu Changhe before they were allowed in.

Xu Changhe was waiting for them in the timber factory office. Due to their business dealings, he had a good relationship with Cui Xiuyuan. When he met Cui Changjia and the others, he was very enthusiastic and let them into the office and even made tea for them.

Xu Changhe and Cui Xiuyuan are about the same age, but he is only in sales after all, and his position is still far from Cui Xiuyuan, so when talking about Cui Xiuyuan, he was very emotional, "I have always wanted to go see Mr. Cui, but I don't know the address of your home. How are Mr. Cui and Mr. Cui?"

Xu Changhe is tall and thin, and his facial features are not very handsome, but he looks very energetic and has a real feeling.

When doing business, people who look slick and shrewd at first glance are often the most annoying. And this type of salesperson is the most common. After all, doing business requires flattery and currying favor. If you don't flatter, who will pay attention to you?

People like Xu Changhe who seem to be down-to-earth are the easiest for customers to trust. If he is actually a little more scheming than he appears, then this kind of person often has the highest success rate in doing business.

"Everything is fine," Cui Changjia said with a calm expression and a slight smile, "My eldest brother just had a second skin grafting operation. The recovery period will be at least a month. After he is discharged from the hospital, he will have no problem taking care of himself."

"Then I must go visit Mr. Cui. Come, have some tea."

Cui Changjia picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said, "Manager Xu, I'll get straight to the point. We're here today to talk to you about the contract."

Xu Changhe said directly, "If there is any problem with payment here, this batch of materials can be put on hold. I dare not promise you more, but I can help you bear the cost for half a year."

Cui Changjia did not take a detour. After all, the Xuchang River was quite smooth, and it would be pointless for her to go around in circles.

Cui Changjia said, "Manager Xu, to be honest, we don't want this batch of materials anymore."

Hearing this, Xu Changhe's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

　You are already in this situation, what else are you afraid of?
　　I hope we all have the courage to face life!
　　Remember to vote after watching, thank you for your support.
