A fire in the villa burned Lu Wanqing and her husband alive. As she died, she felt a fierce struggle in her belly, her three precious babies... Who could be so cruel? She roared in despair...
Huaihua, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a few seconds. She had just heard someone call Xiaocui's name and thought it was just a coincidence that she had the same name. She didn't expect that she was really her sister's cousin.
Suddenly, she bit her lip, looking a little aggrieved, and her eyes reddened.
Her mother told her to come to the capital to find her sister, but she was completely clueless and didn't know how to find her.
She quickly ran out of money and then considered finding a job.
For two days, she has asked countless people for work, even if it's just to have a meal, but no one is willing to hire her.
They probably didn't dare use her because they saw that she was dressed in shabby clothes and looked like she came from the countryside.
"I've finally found you!" Huaihua burst into tears.
Several waiters around were dumbfounded and came over to pull her away.
"What's wrong with you, young lady? Our master's family has a happy occasion today, so don't be crying here."
"Yes, where did they come from? They immediately started claiming kinship."
The commotion below also alerted those above. Lu Wanqing came down with her camera and was stunned. This girl was none other than Lin Chunhua's family member who had caused trouble at the gate before.
Lin Chunhua was playing with Miaomiao when Lu Wanqing called her down.
Seeing the locust flower standing there in its tattered clothes, so out of place with its surroundings, I felt both sorry for it and angry!
"What are you doing here?" Lin Chunhua asked coldly.
Huaihua wiped away her tears and smiled.
"Sister, Dad wants to arrange a marriage for me with a cripple, but I disagree. So Mom suggested that I come to the capital to find you! I ran away from home."
I thought I was going to starve to death, but heaven rewards those who persevere, and I found you.
After all, she was her own sister, and Lin Chunhua couldn't bear to see her go hungry. With nowhere to go and not wanting to bother the Han family, she pulled Huaihua away.
"Come on, I'll take you out to eat."
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaocui realized that there were no restaurants still open at this hour, and quickly stopped Lin Chunhua, saying:
"Sister Chunhua, let's eat at the restaurant. I don't need to miss out on a meal!"
Lin Chunhua didn't say anything and pulled Huaihua towards the dining table.
The waiters behind them, seeing them whispering amongst themselves, were told off by Lin Xiaocui and went to help serve the rice and dishes.
Huaihua was indeed hungry. She didn't bother to talk to Lin Chunhua. She first drank a large cup of water and then wolfed down her food.
Only after their bellies were full did they have time to look around the restaurant and Lin Chunhua.
In her opinion, the restaurant was too luxurious, with glittering gold pillars at the entrance.
Lin Chunhua was also dressed smartly and stylishly, with her bangs curled. If you saw her on the street, you wouldn't recognize her.
"Sister, whose restaurant is this? What are you doing here?" Huaihua asked curiously.
Although she was timid outside, she didn't need to be nervous because the person opposite her was her sister.
Seeing her relaxed expression, Lin Chunhua told her about Zhao Xiaolan's wedding that day.
"Oh dear, so the Lin family has climbed the social ladder. Your current status is quite impressive too!" Huaihua said with envy.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ye's mother was so lucky that she was able to marry a high-ranking leader in her second marriage.
Lin Chunhua's luck was also incredibly good; she was able to become Lin Ye's brother.
From now on, she must cling to Lin Chunhua's coattails.
She could never go back to her hometown. A bunch of people there, barely enough to eat or wear, fighting over a few dollars, and even trying to sell her for a few hundred dollars. She didn't want to live that kind of life!
Lin Chunhua has already established herself in the capital, and she's sure to do well in the future!
"What do you mean by 'climbing the social ladder'? They are equals. Now, the Lin couple's wealth is more than the Han family's combined..."
Lin Chunhua corrected Huaihua's statement and then introduced the situation of these people again.
Huaihua was dumbfounded, feeling incredibly unsophisticated.
Every member of the Han family holds a high position...
Lin Xiaocui opened a restaurant...
Lin Ye helped foreigners design buildings...
Lu Wanqing owns her own clothing factory and clothing store...
......
Each of these items, taken individually, is astonishing.
She flinched, and her words became somewhat hesitant.
"Sis, since you're the manager of the clothing store, can I help you sell clothes?"
Lin Chunhua frowned. "That's not up to me."
"Then why don't you talk to Lu Wanqing about it?"
"Don't be disrespectful. If you want to stay here, you have to listen to me. Otherwise, I won't care about you!"
While the two were talking, Lu Wanqing and Lin Xiaocui discussed it briefly and went upstairs to tell everyone that Lin Chunhua's sister had come over.
Lin Ye stood up in surprise and hurriedly asked Lu Wanqing if the other party had done anything bad.
Lu Wanqing shook her head. "The young lady came alone, saying she was trying to escape her family's pressure to get married. I'm telling you all, if you deal with her in the future, don't involve her in anything related to money."
That's a euphemistic way of putting it, but who knows what the purpose of the locust flower's visit is?
If they secretly borrow money from them behind Lin Chunhua's back, she'll have to clean up the mess. It's better to take precautions in advance.
Everyone else knew perfectly well that these were just poor relatives from the countryside, and they simply assumed they had nothing to do with them.
Just as they finished speaking, Lin Chunhua came up and briefly explained the situation to everyone. Then she told Lu Wanqing that she was going to take Huaihua to find a guesthouse outside.
Lu Wanqing didn't say anything else, only that she should be careful and come home no matter how late it was.
There are many rooms in the courtyard, but she doesn't plan to bring the locust flowers home to live with her.
Lin Chunhua led Huaihua to a guesthouse. The nearby guesthouses were not cheap, the cheapest being 1.5 yuan a day. After explaining the situation, she spent 4 yuan to rent one for three days.
"You can stay here for now, then find a job and support yourself. I'm very busy every day and don't have time to take care of you, so you'll have to take care of yourself."
I'll bring you some more clothes tomorrow. Here's fifty yuan..."
Lin Chunhua gave some instructions and then prepared to leave.
Huaihua grabbed her arm, a little scared.
"Is it safe here? Will someone kidnap me?"
Lin Chunhua shook off her hand. "What are you saying? This is the capital city. Everything is governed by law. But don't go out at night. Even though there's a crackdown, there are still plenty of hooligans."
Looking at her slightly smelly clothes, Huaihua wanted to take a bath, so Lin Chunhua told her where she could take a bath and wash up. Only then did she drag her tired body home.
When she got home, she saw that Lu Wanqing's room light was still on. She hesitated for a moment, but still went to knock on the door.
"Wanqing, I'd like to ask you for a favor?" she asked, her head bowed, a little embarrassed.
Her family even caused a scene at her doorstep; they're not exactly good people. She was forced to come to Beijing, and now they're trying to give her sister a job opportunity, which is indeed putting her in a difficult position.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wanqing came over and patted Lin Chunhua on the shoulder, saying with a smile:
“Sister Chunhua, we’ve lived together for so many years, you don’t need to be so reserved. Don’t ask for anything, just say what you’re thinking.”
