Moreover, her affair with Gan Quan had already caused quite a stir thanks to her mother's previous actions. If she were to work at the restaurant, she would inevitably have to spend all her time with Gan Quan, and who knows what kind of trouble that would cause!
Thinking of this, Gan Tao took a deep breath, shook her head, and said:
"Mother! Please stop! I will not go to Ganli's restaurant! As for the money, I will find another way."
After saying that, he turned and went into the house.
Gan Tao Niang looked at the closed door and jumped up and down in anger:
"You brat, what can you do? If you had a plan, you would have had it by now. Why wait until now? You have no shame, you're so high and mighty. You'd be happy if you let your younger brothers starve to death!"
However, no matter how much she yelled and cursed, the door remained unmoved.
Seeing that her daughter was determined to miss such a good opportunity, Gan Tao Niang was extremely anxious.
She pondered her words carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up—her daughter had just mentioned Zhao Shi, could it be that she was worried that Zhao Shi would interfere and prevent her from entering the restaurant?
It's not impossible.
That shrew Zhao is petty and narrow-minded. If she really tries to stop her daughter from working at the restaurant, there's nothing we can do.
Thinking of this, Gan Taoniang became extremely anxious. Just as she was pacing around in a panic, a figure flashed through her mind, and her eyes lit up.
She remembered that Gan Quan had returned with Gan Li today...
Thinking of this, she quickly beckoned her eldest son over and whispered in his ear, "Quick, go and call your brother Quan over..."
Gan Quan arrived quickly.
Although Gan Tao had already told him earlier that if his mother called him again in the future, he should just ignore her.
However, he had heard about what had happened to Gan Tao's family recently, and Gan Tao's mother had indeed not sent her son to call him for a long time. Perhaps she had some trouble this time...
Gan Tao Niang looked pitiful. As soon as she saw Gan Quan, she grabbed his hand and began to cry:
"Quanzi, I didn't want to bother you, but I really have no other choice... Please have pity on us, have pity on Gan Tao, she's having a hard time right now!"
When Gan Quan heard about Gan Tao, his voice became somewhat anxious:
"Auntie, what happened?"
Upon seeing this, Gan Tao's mother quickly recounted how Gan Tao had been dismissed, while also describing how pitiful her family had been these past few days.
Finally, with tears streaming down her face, she said, "I really can't take it anymore! I was thinking that if things really got too bad, the whole family would just hang ourselves! But it doesn't matter if I die, my children..."
Fortunately, I heard some news today that your aunt is looking for someone to work at the restaurant. If she goes to work there and gets paid every month, wouldn't we be able to get through this difficult time?
Even if there's a competition, we're sure Tao'er's skills will win. But she's a little scared, afraid your mother will hold a grudge against us because of what happened before, so she doesn't dare to compete...
"Quanzi, your aunt just wants you to talk to your mother about what happened before. I was wrong, I'm sorry! I just beg her to be merciful and let our family live, and let our Tao'er go work at the restaurant!"
She was crying her heart out, and if someone who didn't know the situation saw it, they might think she was really pitiful.
However, Gan Quan was not stupid, even though he was a man of few words. He couldn't help but frown when he heard Gan Tao Niang's words.
Seeing Gan Tao Niang's pitiful appearance, he said in a deep voice:
“Auntie, what you’re saying is a bit inappropriate. It’s true that you and my mother didn’t get along before, but the competition was only brought up by my aunt after she returned to the village today. My mother didn’t know about it, so what’s this talk of showing leniency? If she didn’t know, it would seem as if my mother had pressured you.”
