Chapter 18 Seize every opportunity to make money

Zhao Chengyan, who was just about to lift the door curtain to come in, heard this and his chest trembled, and he just stood there in a daze.

Is that really the case?

The old lady's eyes reddened upon hearing this: "It's up to you. Don't put yourself in a difficult position. I just feel sorry for Chao Chao..."

After saying that, he sighed heavily again.

Gu Wanxing nodded obediently, his whole body exuding a sense of sadness and desolation from the inside out.

The old lady felt very distressed when seeing this.

"Then I'll go back first. I'll go see your mother-in-law. She's still making a scene outside. Isn't she ashamed?"

This old lady is a person with some influence in the Zhao family, and it is probably only she who can control Liu Xifeng.

But these are no longer within her scope of concern.

After Gu Wanxing saw the old lady leave, he lowered his head to look at Zhao Chao, who had not yet received the water.

He said again: "Chao Chao, you have to learn to drink by yourself. You can't be so confident and expect others to serve you."

She looked calm and handed the water forward again. Seeing that she didn't take it, she simply stuffed the cup into her arms.

With a cry, Zhao Chao started crying.

"Mom is bad—Mom is bad—"

Her voice was already shrill, and when she howled at the top of her lungs, it made Gu Wanxing's temples jump.

In the past, she would definitely pick the child up and comfort him, but once the mother filter is broken, it can never be picked up again.

At this time, Liu Xifeng's crying was heard outside again, intertwined with the crying of the children in the house. Gu Wanxing felt like his head was about to explode.

She must leave this house and look for a house in the afternoon!

Thinking of this, she found a flowered cloth bag from under the bed. The handles of the bag were two plastic rings. This was the only time in the past five years that she had spent money to buy herself a bag like this.

Because it is easy to carry a lunch box to work.

Gu Wanxing was staring at her bag in a daze. Zhao Chengyan couldn't help but come in when he heard the child crying.

"Can't you hear the baby crying?"

He looked at Gu Wanxing with inquiring eyes, wondering what was wrong.

"Dad, Mom is bad! Mom bullies Chao Chao!"

When Zhao Chao saw her father come in, she immediately felt that someone was backing her up, and she started crying and complaining.

"Didn't you hear her crying?" Gu Wanxing asked back with a sneer on his face.

"you……"

Zhao Chengyan was speechless after being rebuked. He simply picked up the child and coaxed him softly, "Chao Chao, be good. Don't cry, don't cry. Do you want some water? Daddy will give you some, okay?"

The child drank some water reluctantly under his begging and gradually showed signs of wanting to sleep.

Gu Wanxing was about to walk out, but Zhao Chengyan grabbed his arm.

"Where are you going?"

He looked at the bag in her hand warily, his eyes narrowed.

Gu Wanxing knew what he was thinking at a glance.

He curled his lips and sneered: "Let go, this is my lunch box, you are not crazy about money."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengyan's expression froze and he immediately let go of his hand.

"Are you going to work?" This time his tone was much softer.

"Yes, if you have time, we can go together and get a divorce at the same time."

Zhao Chengyan's face was filled with indignation, his teeth were grinding, and he was so angry that he fell backwards.

"It's just a matter of time." Gu Wanxing said and walked out the door.

Just as she was about to leave, Zhao Chengfang stopped her on her way: "Sister-in-law, where are you going? Why aren't you cooking?"

Gu Wanxing didn't tolerate it at all: "Since you are so free, why don't you go home and see where your Zhu Changfa slept last night."

When these words came out, Zhao Chengfang's pupils trembled slightly: "What do you mean? Do you know something?"

Gu Wanxing just smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Chengfang's face changed, and he couldn't stay any longer and ran away. In his anxiety, he bumped into the only two people who were left at the door.

"Is Wanxing at work?"

"Why are you asking her? She was hugged by someone yesterday. Didn't you see that her clothes were soaked through? Tsk tsk, she was seen naked, and she still had the nerve to go out. Shame on you."

The other woman is called Zhao Yanling, an older daughter of the Zhao family. She also works in a garment factory, but she has been an apprentice for four years and has not yet graduated.

Perhaps out of jealousy among women, she has always disliked the honest Gu Wanxing.

Because Gu Wanxing is beautiful, her face alone has made her countless enemies.

Gu Wanxing no longer cares about these insignificant people and can turn a blind eye to them.

So she said hello to the old lady who scolded Liu Xifeng, got on her bike and left.

Liu Xifeng thought she was going to work and didn't say anything. She was not in the mood to care about anything else at the moment.

As for what Gu Wanxing said to Zhao Chengfang just now, it was naturally true.

Zhao Chengfang has a widowed sister-in-law who has always lived with them, under the beautiful pretext that the family should not be divided while the parents are still alive.

She was the child bride of the eldest son of the Zhu family, but the eldest son of the Zhu family had been dead for several years.

In his previous life, Zhu Changfa, Zhao Chengfang's man, often slept in his sister-in-law's bed.

He was caught by Zhao Chengfang several times.

In the end, Zhao Chengfang did not divorce. When her children grew up and her mother-in-law passed away, she immediately married her sister-in-law off.

That’s right, she got married in exchange for a betrothal gift of more than 2,000 yuan.

…

The bicycle made a clanging sound as it moved on the bumpy road.

This road is actually a newly built gravel road. It looks flat but is actually bumpy and difficult to walk on, especially when the two bicycle tires are fully inflated.

I have to say that I still miss my previous life a little bit. When I went out, I either drove myself or had a driver pick me up.

But when she finally had her own car, she was old and sick, and her husband and children were partial to outsiders, so she actually couldn't enjoy much.

Gu Wanxing has finally figured it out in this life. She saved so much money for her family and children, but who would remember her kindness?

Enjoy the good days early! There is a saying: Bitterness first does not necessarily lead to sweetness later, but sweetness first will make it sweeter indeed.

She went to the town today, on the one hand because she was thinking about the drowning, fever, and endless quarrels she had experienced during this period. Since she had taken Zhao Chengyan's private money, she had to go to the restaurant for a good meal. On the other hand, there was another important thing. She remembered that in her previous life there was a well-known hotel chain that started from the inconspicuous Linyuan Restaurant in the town.

Since we're here for dinner anyway, let's see if we can get in touch with her and learn more about her, maybe invest in some stocks or something.

Now, she will not give up any opportunity to make money.

When she arrived at the Linyuan Restaurant she had her eyes on, it was just past ten in the morning and there were not many customers in the restaurant.

As soon as she entered, a little girl in a red cheongsam came up to greet her with a smile.

"Welcome."

The waitress had a sweet smile and her fair little face was full of collagen.

She is really at the age of a flower. She smiled and nodded to the waiter, then found a table by the window and sat down.

"Comrade, what would you like to order?"

The waiter tactfully handed her the menu and said softly.

Gu Wanxing looked up at the waitress and was satisfied to see that she was still smiling appropriately.

There is a reason why they want to become bigger and stronger. Just looking at the service attitude in this year, you can imagine how smart the boss is.

It is the late 1980s. Although the economy is developing rapidly, most people still hold the old idea that the working class is the most glorious. There is no such fashionable concept as customers are God. If it is a state-owned restaurant, there will definitely be no such service style. It is good if they can avoid scolding people.

Therefore, the boss here is able to innovate from rigid thinking to service attitude, which shows that he is quite capable.

It would be great if she could really build a bridge. She looked at the menu carefully while thinking about how to start the conversation.

Out of the corner of her eye, she stole a glance at the man who was busy working at the bar with his head down.

Suddenly, her eyes froze.

As if he couldn't believe what he saw, he closed his eyes and then looked into the door behind the bar again.
