Lu Yazhi never expected her daughter Wen Qiao to be so clever, coming up with this idea so quickly.
She had intended to keep it a secret, but now, she had no choice but to tell the truth...
"I didn't want to tell you in the first place, and besides, it has nothing to do with you anyway."
After leaving her parents' home, Lü Yazhi never went back.
She had long since lost heart and never considered going back.
But I don't know who said it in the countryside, that she and Wen Qiao had climbed up the social ladder to become high-ranking officials in the city.
Both mother and daughter married and moved to the big city of Beicheng.
Lü Yazhi's younger brother found out.
I don't know where I got the information, but after going around in circles, I finally found out about this place.
Lu Yazhi had a sister-in-law in the countryside with whom she had a good relationship. The sister-in-law treated her very well, and the two of them had supported each other in the countryside before. A few years ago, the sister-in-law's husband passed away from illness.
The eldest sister-in-law was only in her fifties, so Lü Yazhi thought of having her come to Beicheng to work as an assistant in the restaurant she owned.
Lu Yazhi said to Wen Qiao, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm worried that maybe Sister-in-law Hu told my brother about this? But I didn't tell her the specifics."
"Now I'm thinking of going back to see what's going on and try to resolve this back there. We can't let them come to the north of the city to cause trouble."
Wen Qiao said, "Mom, is the Hu sister-in-law you mentioned reliable? So many years have passed. You were both poor before, and she was in a similar situation as you. Perhaps she could share your hardships."
"Now, look at yourself again. You're no longer like an old lady from the countryside. You're the one who ran that restaurant. I still think we should assume the worst of people. If they're not, then we're just overthinking it. But if you really mess things up, it'll be a hassle to clean up, and you're not afraid that this poorly managed business will go bankrupt..."
Having experienced a tragic death, Wen Qiao now habitually thinks of people in the worst possible light.
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Lü Yazhi was suddenly enlightened. To be honest, she had recently become a little arrogant because of her contract to renovate and open a restaurant in a cafeteria. She thought she was very capable.
It's understandable. A rural woman who couldn't read or write married a second man and thought she would die in his house. Unexpectedly, her daughter helped her escape her misery.
After arriving in Beicheng, she married a commander.
She became the commander's wife.
She herself was also very ambitious, reading and learning to read, constantly improving herself, and studying current economic trends.
The restaurant is all ready; she'll be a female boss from now on.
Lu Yazhi got a little carried away, thinking that she now had some ability and wanted to help her old sister who had gone through hardships together.
But she forgot that, as Wen Qiao said, things are different now than they used to be, and people's hearts are always changing.
They went through hardships together before, so it might not have been a big deal.
But now that Lü Yazhi is going to be a boss, her old friends in the countryside are still struggling to make ends meet, so it's inevitable that she'll feel a little jealous.
"Xiao Qiao, Mom really lost her mind. And honestly, how could I have been so blinded by greed to let people from our hometown come?"
“Then I definitely have to go this time. I can’t wear this outfit. I’ll go change.”
She dressed plainly and in worn-out clothes. Fortunately, she didn't say that she wanted Sister Hu to come to the city to work at her restaurant. Lü Yazhi only asked if Sister Hu wanted to come to the city.
Wen Qiao frowned. "Mom, if you're going to the countryside, I have to go with you. I'm worried about you going alone."
Lu Yazhi replied, "What are you worried about? I can do anything. I can buy tickets. After I learned to read, I'm not afraid of anything. When I go back this time, I have to make things clear to my troublesome brother. He sold me out back then, so don't even think about getting any connection with me now."
