Some time ago, he brought people back to continue helping build the house, and he expected that Lin Xiazhu would find out about his actions soon. He really didn't intend to ask for payment.
But Lin Xiazhu didn't intend to pay him any attention, let alone talk to him. She directly gave the money to Lin Shanfu and asked him to transfer it to him.
Let him divide it among himself and his brothers; once the money is given, it's not easy to return it.
If he dared to refuse, he would definitely be criticized for being pretentious and hypocritical. Sigh, why does he always seem less imposing in front of a girl who is five or six years younger than him?
"I still want to thank you. By the way, your mother's business is doing well. She's probably too busy to handle it all by herself. Why don't you go and help her?" Zhang Li is deaf and mute; no matter how capable she is, she still has a disability.
For example, when it comes to taking money and giving change, some customers call her several times but she doesn't respond, and some unscrupulous people just eat for free without paying.
Actually, most of the customers who come to eat are from the town and rarely eat for free. However, there are a few people who like to take advantage of others. They deliberately shout for Zhang Li to come and pay the bill when she is busy. They know she can't hear them, and they call her when her back is turned.
So Zhang Yu's maternal grandfather came to help. However, the old man was getting on in years and his reactions were a bit slow. It was really hard to watch. Zhang Yu, as the only able-bodied man in the family, didn't seem to care more about the family and just ran around aimlessly.
"...I've been at home these past two days." He's also been helping out at a snack shop, but he's not really into the work of a waiter. He prefers collecting recyclables and doing odd jobs, which are more comfortable for him.
After learning about Zhao Xiaolian's job posting today, Zhang Yu had an idea. She also wanted to hire someone to help her mother, but she definitely wanted to find someone honest.
"Aunt Zhao, if you need to hire someone for your shop, could you recommend someone suitable to my mom's shop?"
"You're quite free yourself, why waste money hiring help?" Yan Xin felt that he was just messing around every day and would be better off running the snack shop properly with his mother.
“I’m not idle at all. I’m very busy. Don’t be fooled by the variety of things I do. My monthly income is definitely no less than that of the snack shop. I don’t want to be stuck in the snack shop.” Zhang Yu said honestly.
"Where does your monthly income go? It all goes into your stomach and is then digested. This kind of unplanned eating and drinking is worse than doing nothing at all." Yan Xin had heard Lin Xiazhu talk about Zhang Yu and his brothers' futile deeds, and she couldn't bring herself to praise them.
The two were chatting casually when Lin Xiazhu and Xiao An and the others came back from school. When they saw Zhang Yu in the shop, Lin Xiazhu didn't react much and didn't even look at him before going straight inside.
Xiao An glanced at it, but didn't say anything.
Zhang Yu: "..." Everyone's treating him like he's invisible.
"Hey, Cha Cha doesn't recognize your Brother Yu? Why didn't you say hello?" In the end, he only dared to pull on the younger Cha Cha.
"Didn't you break up with my sister? Anyone who breaks up with my sister breaks up with my whole family, so I definitely don't want to talk to them," Lin Chacha said irritably.
When did he ever say he wanted to break off his friendship with Lin Xiazhu? He just had a little disagreement, and it's a huge misunderstanding.
"That's not true. Who said I broke off my friendship with your sister? That's nonsense," Zhang Yu denied angrily.
"My sister said so." Lin Chacha frowned, glanced at the hand that was pulling at her collar, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed it and pulled hard.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to break my hand?" Zhang Yu was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground when her hand was grabbed.
"Don't tear my clothes next time, and stop touching me. If you do it again, I'll break your hand." Lin Chacha felt looked down upon. Zhang Yu didn't dare to mess with anyone else, so he picked on her to bully, thinking she was an easy target.
That's the truth. Zhang Yu did think she was easier to talk to and relatively weak in combat, which is why he dared to talk to her.
As for Xiao An, although he looked rather sickly, Zhang Yu inexplicably felt intimidated by him. This guy always exuded a chilling aura that made him difficult to approach.
Of course, the main reason was that he knew Xiao An could use acupressure, which would render people unable to move or make a sound. Moreover, Zhang Yu was very certain that Xiao An had more than just this skill; he must have other unknown abilities.
Don't ask him how he knows. Looking at Xiao An's expression and demeanor, he naturally imagined a lot and firmly believed in this intuition.
"Cha Cha, do you think I'm that kind of person? How could I possibly say something as tasteless as breaking up with someone..." Zhang Yu rambled on about a bunch of random things, basically saying that there was a misunderstanding between him and Lin Xiazhu, and that he had come to apologize today.
"So you did something to upset my older sister and made her angry," Lin Chacha concluded.
Well, I guess so.
Because he and his brothers emptied the granary and filled the latrine, Lin Xiazhu looked down on them.
He was very angry at the time, feeling insulted. It turned out that Lin Xiazhu had always looked down on him. What was wrong with him leading his brothers to live a life of luxury?
There was no stealing or robbing; the food was earned with my own money. Isn't the purpose of life just to have something to eat?
However, after careful reflection, he calmed down and began to understand Lin Xiazhu's meaning. One cannot live for the moment and be drunk for the moment. After all, life is long, and as human beings, we must have some pursuits.
Sunlight-dwelling individuals have no future.
When he received the wages from Lin Shanfu, he wanted to reconcile with Lin Xiazhu, but he kept putting it off because of his pride.
Today is a good opportunity. Since he's already here, he might as well apologize. Although he doesn't know why he should apologize, if he wants to continue being friends, he definitely has to lower his stance first.
After all, other people probably don't care whether he's a friend or not, but he values Lin Xiazhu as a friend very much.
Yan Xin went in and told Lin Xiazhu about what happened today. The latter put down her schoolbag, drank a glass of water, and came out. She glanced at Zhang Yu, who was still arguing with Lin Chacha.
"Thank you for today, I'll remember that," Lin Xiazhu said.
What did you remember? Can you please stop being so indifferent?
"I just happened to be passing by, it's no big deal. Um, Xiaozhu, are you free tonight? How about I treat you to dinner at my mom's snack shop? I brought back a lot of good stuff," Zhang Yu said with a fawning smile.
"No need, I have something to do tonight, let's do it another day. Actually, I should be the one treating you. Thanks to you for coming in time today." It was clear that Zhang Yu wanted to let bygones be bygones, but Lin Xiazhu didn't immediately agree.
After all, she didn't take Zhang Yu's matter too seriously. To be honest, she was actually quite indifferent. She could help out when they were friends, but if the other person was too useless and they couldn't be friends, she could treat them like a stranger.
She doesn't care if they never see each other again. Apart from the few young children in her family whom she has some patience to teach, she doesn't want to worry about anything else, not even the worries of a mother.
