Chapter 85: Disrespect for one's own intelligence
Even though she didn't mention any names, Lin Chuxia guessed that the old lady was calling her.
But so what? Will she respond if I call her?
He went upstairs without looking back.
Old Mrs. Liu didn't expect to meet Lin Chuxia here. She called out to her twice but she didn't hear her. She took a few quick steps to catch up with her but was stopped by the waiter at the front desk.
"You old lady, you have no money to stay in the hotel, why are you forcing your way in? I'm telling you, this is not the place for you to act like a spoiled child. Be careful or I'll call the police and have you arrested and taken to the police station."
Old Madam Liu pointed at Lin Chuxia who was going upstairs and said anxiously, "We know that girl. Is she staying in your store? Let me go over and talk to her. She can't live in such a big room by herself. Can we squeeze in with her?"
The waiter had long seen through the old lady's character. When she had no money but wanted to stay in a guesthouse, he tried to bargain with her for a long time, pretending to be pitiful and acting like a rogue.
Just now the old lady called that female comrade. It’s impossible that she didn’t hear it at such a close distance. But she ignored her. How could she possibly let the old lady in?
"I can't decide whether you can share a room with her, let alone let you in. Who knows if you two really know each other? If you really know each other, why didn't you come together before? I have to be responsible for the personal safety of every customer staying here."
Due to the delay, there was no trace of Lin Chuxia. Old Mrs. Liu was anxious to rush in, but the waiter asked someone to drive her out.
Old Mrs. Liu refused to give up and stood at the door of the guesthouse shouting.
"My daughter, for the sake of our trip, please be kind and let us stay with you for one night."
"You see, it's cold and dark outside. I, an old woman, won't be in the way. Xiaohua is a child and she can't stand this. I see that you are kind-hearted. At most, I, an old woman, will stay outside for a night and let Xiaohua stay with you."
"You can't blame us for what happened on the train. Poor people have short ambitions. Xiaohua and I are both miserable people. Since you are blessed and kind-hearted, I'll just do a good deed."
Liu Xiaohua was also surprised when she saw Lin Chuxia appear. Seeing that her mother had been calling for a long time but no one came out, she said irritably, "Mom, please stop calling. She doesn't let us live together because she looks down on us. She is just like those people in the village who look down on others. If my brother were still alive, I wonder if they would still treat us like this."
Speaking of her son, Old Lady Liu sighed, "Your brother is also a man of few fortunes. Your father risked his life to buy this opportunity. We thought we could live a good life after he got out, but who knew he would die here in less than two years. If I had known this, your father would have asked for more money when he died."
Liu Xiaohua showed disdain on her face, "You should have given me the chance in the beginning. It would have been useless to give a short-lived person like my brother a chance. Now, the chance is gone and the person is gone. Are you satisfied?"
Old Mrs. Liu felt bitter. She had a son and a daughter. Her daughter would be married sooner or later, like water spilled on the ground. When faced with such a good opportunity, of course she would think of her son.
But who knows...
Seeing her daughter's dissatisfaction, she hurriedly comforted her, "What's the point of saying all this now? Right now, you are my only relative. When you get to the place, you must fight for your reputation. Money is secondary. If you have someone to rely on, you will have a good life in the future. Do you still need to look at other people's faces?"
Liu Xiaohua was very confident. "Mom, we must get an explanation this time. My brother died here, so they have to take responsibility for us and take care of us for the rest of our lives. This is what they owe us."
The old lady's eyes became firm. "You are right. This is what they owe us. As long as they send us money on time and arrange a good marriage for you, this matter will be over. Otherwise, it will not be over. We will stay here and see what they will do."
"Mom, where did you put my new clothes? I need to wear them tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, she must put on new clothes and let them see how well our Xiaohua has grown," Old Mrs. Liu looked around, stood up and cursed.
"You little bitch, you black-hearted bastard, you just look down on us, mother and daughter. I'm telling you, don't look down on others, you will get into trouble sooner or later."
"If you let us in now, we can talk about anything else. Otherwise, even if you beg us, we won't give it to you..."
“Wow…”
Before Mrs. Liu could finish her words, a basin of water was poured over her head, directly splashing her while she was standing and cursing, making her feel cold all over.
Liu Xiaohua, who was sitting nearby, was not spared either. The water poured down on Old Lady Liu and splashed all over her.
Liu Xiaohua jumped up with a cry, "It's so cold..."
The clothes, which were not thick to begin with, were soaked through and stuck to the body.
Water was still dripping from Old Mrs. Liu's collar, and her hair was all stuck to her face.
A gust of north wind blew, and I couldn't help but sway.
The fool who was splashed with water suddenly came to his senses. When he saw the appearance of himself and his daughter, his eyes almost spit fire. He cursed and rushed to the guesthouse.
The front desk clerk had long wanted to teach Mrs. Liu a lesson. Their hotel was not a state-owned guesthouse but a private store run by an individual.
Originally, their store was small, and they could make some money only by providing better service than the state-owned ones. However, the old lady kept swearing at the door for a long time, and fewer people checked in tonight, which directly affected their income.
Now that someone helped them teach the two of them a lesson, how could they possibly let the old lady go in and cause trouble?
Lin Chuxia stood at the second-floor window with an empty basin in her hand, watching the commotion downstairs for a long time. In the end, Old Lady Liu and Liu Xiaohua still didn't come in. She shrank her body unwillingly and walked away with her luggage, then she withdrew her gaze.
She is not a cold-blooded person. After her business became big in her previous life, she did a lot of charity.
Because I don’t have children, I feel even softer in my heart.
But helping others depends on the situation. For those who don’t know how to be grateful, giving more help would be disrespectful to their intelligence.
Now that her ears were quiet, she went to the space to take a shower, and then packed up the things she would bring to Qin Yang tomorrow.
I didn't notice it when I bought it, but when I took it out, I found that there were quite a lot of things.
But Lin Chuxia didn't care.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that someone valued her so much, almost holding her in the palm of his hand. This feeling was strange but very good.
She is not a little girl. She will not be moved to give everything because of a little kindness, but she can repay his kindness in her own way.
Having not had a good rest on the train for several days, Lin Chuxia slept very soundly that night and slept until dawn.
After washing up, I changed into new clothes. It's a little colder here in the northwest than in Ancheng County, so I put on the black turtleneck sweater I bought in the mall last time, a red windbreaker on the outside, black pants on the bottom, and small leather shoes.
