Chapter 13: She is now the wife of the head of the group. You need to understand
Lin Dahai felt that he had lost face, so he could only smile at Zhong Heyang: "He is young and ignorant, don't bother with him. Come on, come on, eat the food first!"
···
After dinner, the two pushed the cart away.
The couple walked one in front and one behind. Lin Ziqiu walked behind and looked at the man's tall and majestic back and asked, "Don't you have an urgent mission?"
Zhong Heyang didn't look back, his deep voice was slightly magnetic, "It is a husband's responsibility to accompany you back home."
Lin Ziqiu nodded, "You act so well, it would be a shame if you didn't become an actor."
"Actor?" Zhong Heyang frowned. "I want to defend my country. The art troupe is not suitable for me."
Looking at his serious explanation, Lin Ziqiu laughed out loud, "That's why I said it's a pity!"
Zhong Heyang turned around and looked at the little girl's bright face, feeling itchy in his heart.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind - he wanted Lin Ziqiu to rely on him.
…
As soon as they left, Lin Mengyao ran to Lin Dahai crying and complained.
"Dad! Look at how Lin Ziqiu hit me in the face!"
Lin Dahai drank some wine and felt a little dizzy.
In the past, as long as Lin Mengyao complained, Lin Dahai would beat Lin Ziqiu up.
But this time he frowned slightly, "Why did she hit you for no reason?"
Lin Mengyao cried, "I just accidentally touched her things, and she came up to me and started fighting. If there weren't guests at home today, I would have made her give me an explanation!"
Lin Dahai glanced at her and said, "Why don't you pay more attention? She is the wife of the regiment leader now, you should build a good relationship with her. When you go to the countryside and want to return to the city, you will probably have to rely on your sister."
"dad!"
Lin Mengyao never thought that Lin Dahai, who had always been partial to her, would actually say such a thing.
She wanted to argue for something, but Zhang Xiumei stopped her in time and said, "Your dad drank too much at noon, let him go to sleep for a while, don't bother him."
Lin Mengyao impatiently shook off her hand and ran back to her room crying.
Zhang Xiumei chased after him, closed the door, and started scolding Lin Mengyao, "Cry, cry, cry! What's the point of crying now?"
"When she hit you, why didn't you hit her back? You're useless!"
Lin Mengyao threw the pillow to the ground, "Do you think I don't want to fight back?"
"Now you know how to cry, why did you give up such a good marriage to her?"
Zhang Xiumei was so angry that her intestines turned green. She said angrily: "I'm telling you, you are being bullied by her now, you can only blame yourself!"
Lin Mengyao was speechless.
Who knew that damn girl Lin Ziqiu was so lucky that she could remarry Zhong Heyang!
If I had known that she was going to marry someone else, why would I have gone to the countryside to suffer?
She wiped her tears and half-knelt in front of Zhang Xiumei, "Mom! You are my biological mother! I will be leaving soon, please give me some more money to support myself."
When talking about money, Zhang Xiumei's face changed visibly. "The wedding banquet a few days ago cost a lot of money. There are also expenses at home, and your brother's schooling also costs money. How can I have any spare money to give you?"
Lin Mengyao didn't expect her mother to be so cold, "Where's the betrothal money from the Zhong family? It should have been mine!"
Zhang Xiumei pushed her away, "What do you mean your money? It's not like you married into the Zhong family! How can it be your money? That's mine and your father's money!"
"So you won't give me a penny?" Lin Mengyao looked at her mother in disbelief.
Zhang Xiumei let go of her hand: "I have never treated you badly. You should have saved a lot of private money."
"There's nowhere to spend money in the countryside. It's not safe for you to carry so much money with you."
"Why don't you give me your money for safekeeping? When you need money in the future, I'll ask someone to send it to you."
Both mother and daughter wanted the money in the other's pocket.
After all, Lin Mengyao has lived a new life and will not be brainwashed by her words.
Since her mother refused to give it to her, she naturally had other options. That money should have been hers! No one can use it!
…
On the other hand, Zhong Heyang was in a hurry, so he sent her to her doorstep and left.
Lin Ziqiu packed up a little and went out to look for a job.
She rode her bike around for several circles, and when she passed by a state-owned hotel, Lin Ziqiu stopped.
The waiter immediately came over and asked, "How many people are you?"
It was not meal time, so there were almost no customers.
Lin Ziqiu said, "I want to talk to your manager."
The waiter was a little surprised and said truthfully: "Our manager is not here, what do you want with him?"
"I want to apply for the position of chef here."
A middle-aged man with a big belly came out from the kitchen. Hearing Lin Ziqiu's words, he laughed a few times and said, "Not everyone can be a chef in our state-owned restaurant. With your skinny arms and legs, you should go home and get an embroidery needle!"
She was not angry, and said calmly, "It's not too late for you to try my cooking first."
"Even if you meet our manager, he won't hire you."
This man was the second in command of the kitchen at a state-owned restaurant. His name was Tian Gui, and because of his large stature, everyone called him "Fatty".
Lin Ziqiu was puzzled: "Why?"
"We have no shortage of cooks in our restaurant."
An old voice came from behind.
Lin Ziqiu turned his head and was stunned, "Grandpa!?"
The old man with the cane narrowed his eyes and looked Lin Ziqiu up and down, "You...you are Xiao Qiu'er?"
"What? She is senior sister's daughter?" Tian Gui exclaimed.
His master, nicknamed Li Laoer, was a famous chef in Suzhou. It was said that his ancestor was the chef in the imperial kitchen.
But in Li Laoer's generation, he only had one sister, Li Guixiang. Moreover, he never remarried after his wife died early in his life, and his wife did not leave him any children.
Later, he accidentally picked up a girl, who was Lin Ziqiu's mother, Li Xiuyan.
At that time, Li Xiuyan was already four years old and she collapsed in front of Li Laoer's house in the middle of winter.
According to the neighbors at the time, Li Xiuyan was wearing clothes like a lady from a wealthy family, but she was dirty and had a high fever. It was Li Laoer who saved her.
After Li Xiuyan woke up, she remembered nothing. Li Laoer felt sorry for her and adopted her as his goddaughter.
Li Laoer taught all his cooking skills to Li Xiuyan, but Li Xiuyan's talent was average. Later, Li Laoer used his connections to get her a job as a female worker in a machinery factory, hoping to give her a stable job.
This was the only decision he regretted in his life.
Li Xiuyan was recognized as the most beautiful girl in the machinery factory at that time, and it was at that time that Lin Dahai fell in love with her and began to pursue her vigorously.
Li Laoer did not agree to the marriage at that time. He was always good at judging people and felt that Lin Dahai was not a good person. Unexpectedly, Lin Dahai deliberately plotted and Li Xiuyan became pregnant because of his design.
Finally, she came to Li Laoer and begged him to give birth to the child no matter what.
Li Laoer had no choice but to watch her jump into the fire pit.
"I didn't expect you've grown up so big! I held you in my arms when you were a child!" Tian Gui has two sons of his own, who only make him angry all day long.
Tian Gui pinched Lin Ziqiu's arm and said, "Why are you so thin? Is it because Lin Dahai doesn't give you food?"
Not to mention that Tian Gui didn't recognize Lin Ziqiu, Lin Ziqiu didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.
But her mother died early, and Lin Dahai had always been unwilling for her to have any contact with her grandfather, so in order not to make Lin Dahai angry, she really cut off contact with the Li family.
