Liu Chunhua also frowned. The plump figure that she had worked so hard to maintain during this period of time seemed to have become thinner due to the anxiety of the past two days.

[Opening a store is urgent. If you really don't want to mortgage and borrow, maybe we have another way. ]

Jiang Ruyi looked into Liu Chunhua's eyes and took out the passbook. "Let's go find your biological family. I remember they are also very wealthy. Once you recognize each other, they will definitely not ignore you."

"No, I won't go." Unexpectedly, Liu Chunhua's reaction was extremely intense. She looked at the frightened Jiang Ruyi, bit her lip and explained for a long while, "We have been separated for so many years, and she may have a new life and another daughter. If I go back now, what if I disturb her peaceful life? And..."

She hesitated, and Jiang Ruyi became anxious, [And what? ]

"Ruyi, I asked you how I got lost, but you didn't know. Have you ever thought that maybe my getting lost wasn't an accident at all, but was abandoned by the other party on purpose?"

Liu Chunhua closed her eyes with some difficulty. In the era when she was born, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was very serious. Poor families would even give away or drown their extra daughters. She had seen too many things like this and was not even sure if she was one of them.

Jiang Ruyi also fell silent. She had not finished reading the original text and did not know the truth about Liu Chunhua's disappearance. Liu Chunhua's life experience was only briefly mentioned in the existing plot. Although she intuitively felt that the truth would not be what Liu Chunhua thought, what if it was?

[Maybe it's not as bad as you think. You won't know until you meet them. Don't you want to meet them? ]

"No." Liu Chunhua shook her head, her voice gradually becoming lower. "If it's really not what I thought, then they must also cherish me as their daughter. My current state of having nothing will only disappoint them. Ruyi, I want to rely on myself. If we are really destined to meet again, I hope I can stand in front of them with dignity, instead of waiting for others' charity like a beggar."

Jiang Ruyi didn't know what to say. Although Liu Chunhua's idea sounded a bit stubborn, it was actually in line with her usual personality. [It's just that this will make you very tired. ]

"It's okay to be tired. Mom still has you guys, right? And I can also do some manual work during this time and earn the money back sooner."

Liu Chunhua made up her mind and took action that day. She looked for some manual work in the town. She used to have a skill in garment making which was very popular, but because she had to take care of her children she could not go to work in a factory, so she could only take the jobs and do them herself.

"Sister Zhao, can the factory you mentioned really provide me with a sewing machine?" In the narrow corridor, Liu Chunhua and Widow Zhao walked together, one after the other. Widow Zhao came to help Liu Chunhua after learning about her embarrassing situation. She not only helped her find a job that she could do at home, but also persuaded the other party to arrange a sewing machine for her.

"Of course, this guy is my fellow villager. His business has become prosperous in recent years. If there weren't a shortage of workers in the factory, he wouldn't have sent the work out. I told him about your situation, and he was very satisfied. But there is only one thing, you have to take good care of the sewing machine, because he will inspect it after you finish the work."

"Don't worry about this, I will definitely take good care of it."

The two of them went to find the person in charge of the factory, explained their purpose and waited for the record. The factory director then asked Liu Chunhua to pick up the sewing machine. She also received a large amount of scattered fabrics for clothes that needed to be worked on, as well as threads of various colors.

"Liu Chunhua, right? This batch of goods is waiting for you. You have to hand in these 50 pieces by the end of the month. If the quantity is not enough or you cannot hand it in on time, your salary will be deducted by half."

"Why? Half is too much." Widow Zhao was indignant. Liu Chunhua pulled her and said, "It's okay, Sister Zhao. This is the rule of the garment factory."

Liu Chunhua has been working for so many years and understands the importance of urgent goods. Besides, this was the rule for those who came to their factory to take work before.

"Don't worry, I can do it. I won't delay anything."

Seeing that Liu Chunhua was so sensible, the factory manager's attitude became better. "Okay, you can take the things away. Return them when the time comes. I will pay you on the spot."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Liu Chunhua thanked him and turned to carry the sewing machine home, but Widow Zhao stopped her and said, "No, someone is here to help."

"What?"

Liu Chunhua was just wondering when she saw Zhao Tiezhu rushing over. He had work in his eyes and without saying a word he started carrying the things onto the ox cart.

The sewing machine weighing dozens of kilograms was easily in his hands and he had put everything away in no time.

"How can I feel embarrassed..." Liu Chunhua had a complicated expression. She knew how Zhao Tiezhu felt about her, and it was impossible for her to give him any response. She felt uneasy to continue enjoying other people's kindness for no reason.

Widow Zhao saw through it and chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just a matter of lending a hand. Besides, if you sprain your waist, how can you work? Let's go back first."

Liu Chunhua was pushed onto the alley, and the group of three rushed into the courtyard. However, perhaps God didn't want her to have it too easy, and she ran into Jiang Chao and the widow Zhang just as she got out of the alley.

"Hey, isn't this Sister Chunhua? Why is she here?" Zhang Tieying came out to go to the street with Jiang Chao. Originally, he wanted him to buy some clothes for him. But when he saw Liu Chunhua here, he immediately acted like a smug villain.

"Look at you, are you going back to your old ways? But didn't you say you would never work in a garment factory again? How come you're divorcing Brother Chao and you're back in business right after that?"

"Who are you? What's your business?" Widow Zhao was a fierce woman, and she started to argue. Zhang Tieying pretended to be scared and hid behind Jiang Chao, but he didn't forget to provoke her with his words, "Brother Chao, I just asked casually, why are they reacting so strongly?"

Jiang Chao sneered, "It's okay. They won't dare to do anything to you as long as I'm here."

As he spoke, he looked Liu Chunhua up and down with a provocative look, "So you've only gotten so far without me. Liu Chunhua, Liu Chunhua, why are you being so mean?"

"Watch your mouth!" Zhao Tiezhu, who was sitting at the front, frowned. Jiang Chao looked at him, as if he understood something. "What's the matter, brother? Are you interested in this bitch? She's just a woman I played with, and you still have the nerve to want her?"

"Say that to her again!" Zhao Tiezhu jumped out of the car angrily and raised his fist to hit Jiang Chao. At the critical moment, Liu Chunhua stopped him, "Brother Tiezhu, don't do it."

She walked forward coldly, and glanced at Jiang and Zhang with neither arrogance nor servility. Suddenly, she slapped Jiang Chao hard in the face.
