Zhou Ling was crying, her face streaked with tears, and she looked extremely pitiful.
Standing to the side, Zhao Kun couldn't help but give Zhou Ling a thumbs up, admiring her acting skills and believing that she would definitely win everyone's sympathy.
Both of them had good ideas.
But,
They soon realized that something seemed amiss.
Whether it was Xu Laoqi, Zhou Chen's mentor, or the other workers, they all looked at the two of them with strange eyes.
and,
No one spoke; the air was eerily quiet.
What happened?
Zhou Ling couldn't keep up the act any longer. With no one cooperating, she just cried and complained, acting like a complete idiot.
Why do these people see her that way?
Shouldn't they all condemn Zhou Chen and speak ill of her? Why do they look at her with such anger instead of pity?
What exactly happened?
Zhou Ling was stunned, and Zhao Kun was also completely confused, having no idea what was going on.
Little did they know that Zhou Chen's dedication to his three siblings was evident to everyone. Zhou Ling suddenly appeared for the first time in three years, immediately criticizing Zhou Chen and repeatedly mentioning her desire to take over the cafeteria business, her intentions self-evident.
The workers present weren't fools; they could easily tell what was going on.
Clearly, Zhou Ling's younger sister is an ingrate.
"Little girl, are you really my apprentice Xiao Chen's sister?"
Xu Laoqi asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling suddenly realized that they hadn't given her feedback because they were questioning her identity.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling quickly explained, "Uncle, I really am Zhou Chen's sister. I am the third child in my family. My name is Zhou Ling. My second sister is Zhou Na, who is a senior at No. 1 High School. My fourth brother is Zhou Chuan. This is my boyfriend, Zhao Kun. I am really not just pretending."
"Since you are Xiaochen's sister, do you know what your brother's favorite food is?"
Do you know which two pieces of clothing your brother usually wears in winter and summer?
Do you know how much work your brother has done every day on the construction site for the past three years?
Xu Laoqi asked the three fatal questions with a blank expression.
Zhou Ling was completely stumped by this barrage of questions.
She has already proven her identity, and even told us all about her siblings in detail, so why don't you believe her?
"Since you are Xiaochen's sister, you should be able to answer these simple questions I'm about to ask with ease. Now you can speak."
Xu Laoqi said calmly.
Zhou Ling opened her mouth, wanting to answer, but when the words reached her lips, she found that she couldn't say anything, because she seemed to know none of Xu Laoqi's questions.
What does Zhou Chen like to eat? He doesn't seem to like anything. She knows her second sister, Zhou Na, likes pork ribs, her fourth brother likes fatty meat, and she likes beef. As for Zhou Chen…
Zhou Ling realized she really didn't know, because Zhou Chen would always finish what the three siblings couldn't finish.
suddenly,
Zhou Ling's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "My older brother likes to eat the leftovers that we can't finish."
As for the clothes she usually wears, Zhou Na scratched her head. What clothes does Zhou Chen usually wear? It seems to be those two faded clothes that have no patterns and you can't even see the patterns clearly. Anyway, they're really ugly.
"The clothes are two washed ones without patterns. The older brother said that the clothes are washed often and are comfortable to wear. He likes them very much and doesn't like to change to new ones. I don't know how much work he does, but he said that with his master taking care of him, the work is very easy and not tiring at all."
Zhou Ling was quite pleased to find that she had answered all the questions correctly. Surely no one would dare to question her now.
Zhou Ling thought that after proving her identity, the people in front of her would change their attitude, but she found that not only did they not stand on her side, but the people in the room looked at her even colder.
It even carried considerable hostility.
this……
What exactly happened? What do these people want to know?
Just then,
Suddenly someone spoke up, "Little girl, does your brother like to eat the leftovers that you can't finish, or is he just reluctant to eat them and wants you to eat them first? Have you never thought about that?"
Let me tell you, even I, an outsider, know that your brother's favorite food is lean meat. You, as his sister, don't even know such a detail? You don't deserve to be his sister at all.
“Look at what you’re wearing now, almost all of it is new. What about your brother? He hasn’t changed a single new piece of clothing in the past three years. Does your brother not want to buy himself any?”
He just wanted to spend less on himself and give the money he saved to you three siblings. But you think he really doesn't like new clothes. I want to know, who doesn't like wearing new clothes? Tell me, if it were you, wouldn't you like it?
Another worker, with tanned skin and wearing a bamboo hat, then spoke up.
Zhou Ling opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refute, but after stammering for a long time, she couldn't bring herself to say that she could do it.
She hadn't bought new clothes for three years; she couldn't imagine it happening to her.
"Do you see that building under construction not far away? For the past three years, your brother has stood on scaffolding hundreds of meters high countless times, working at heights. He endured the high temperatures and scorching sun to support your family, persisting for three whole years."
Even for people like us who do heavy labor, many people can't handle it, but your brother persevered. There were more than twenty people of the same age at the time, but your brother is the only one who has been doing it until now.
Young lady, your good life is all thanks to your brother's hard work under the sun and wind. Now you come to us and tell us all the bad things your brother has done. Ask yourself, do you still have a conscience? What have you ever done for your brother?
Seeing that your brother is making money by contracting the construction site canteen, you're thinking of taking over the canteen and letting your boyfriend run it. You're really siding with outsiders.
Your brother has sacrificed so much for you, yet he raised such an ungrateful wretch like you. What right do you have to complain and speak ill of him in front of us? You don't deserve it; you don't deserve such a good older brother as Zhou Chen.
Each of the three male coworkers' words was like a heavy hammer blow to Zhou Ling's face.
Her expression changed several times.
At that moment, she felt as if she were the most heinous, unforgivable, and worst villain.
But,
But... you can't blame her for this.
Zhou Chen had put in a lot of effort, but she genuinely didn't know, or even pay attention to it.
But since Zhou Chen is the eldest brother, and she didn't force him to do those things, why should everyone think it's her fault? There's more than one person in the family. She just wants Xiao Kun to earn more money. As the eldest brother, what's wrong with Zhou Chen making a contribution?
She did nothing wrong!
It's only natural for her to think of herself, and Zhou Chen's sacrifices were also voluntary on his part.
"You're bullying people, you... you're all in cahoots with Zhou Chen."
"I want to see your manager. I want to file a complaint."
Faced with a result completely opposite to what she had expected, Zhou Ling's mentality collapsed. She was no longer pitiful, but revealed her true face of being aggressive, domineering, and unreasonable.
