Chapter 73: By the time the rice is done, she will have to agree even if she doesn’t want to!
She reached out to take the cup, feeling a little flattered. It was a little hot, so she took a sip and the sweet taste spread throughout her body.
Shen Nanfeng patiently supervised her to finish all the sugar water before leaving.
Lin Mengyao felt warm in her heart and became more confident in winning him over.
When Qi Yanyu and the others came back from work, it was already dark outside. Lin Mengyao was woken up from her half-sleep and asked with a frown, "What time is it?"
"It's getting dark, what are you talking about?" Qi Yanyu dusted off the dust on her body and sat on the couch on tiptoe. "Tell me quickly, what happened after Captain Shen took you away?"
"You know, when he passed by holding you, we were all stunned!"
Chi Nian also came over, but unlike Qi Yanyu, she was not as gossipy as him. Instead, she asked with concern, "Mengyao, what happened to you today? You suddenly fainted. What did Doctor Meng say? Is everything okay?"
"I'm fine. Sorry to have made you worried. I'm just a little out of energy and blood. I'll be fine after a rest."
Lin Mengyao sat up from the bed and planned to go to the bathroom. After all, she had her period and she had to change.
Qi Yanyu pulled her and said, "Dinner is about to start, where are you going?"
"I have a stomachache. I need to go to the toilet." Lin Mengyao winked at her. They were both girls, so Qi Yanyu understood immediately. "Then go quickly. I'll help you get dinner when it's ready."
"Thank you."
Qi Yanyu lay down on the bed, feeling that good days were coming.
I had already let out a grudge today, but I didn’t expect Lin Mengyao to hook up with Shen Nanfeng so easily. Let’s see how proud that little bitch Xie Rou will be in the future.
Who knows, Lin Mengyao might be the scorekeeper in the future.
Fortunately, she had a keen eye for talent and established a good relationship with Lin Mengyao early on.
But she was a little worried. She originally wanted Lin Mengyao to keep Shen Nanfeng hanging, but this was not a long-term solution. What if Shen Nanfeng forced her to get married? If Lin Mengyao refuses to marry at that time, then wouldn’t that be a good opportunity for Xie Rou?
no!
She had to find a way to bring Lin Mengyao and the others together, or at least make Lin Mengyao's heart moved!
By the time the rice has been cooked, she will have to agree even if she doesn't want to!
State-owned hotel.
There was a shortage of staff in the store, so when Jiang Lin passed by the store in the afternoon, he asked Lin Ziqiu to leave work early and close the store at night.
Lin Ziqiu got off work early, and thinking that the department store was not far away, he walked over to buy some things.
The department stores of this era were different from those of later generations. The sales clerks there all worked for state-owned and collective units, and had what was considered a “iron rice bowl.”
Very few people who can get a job here do so based on their own abilities; most of them are "replacing" their parents' positions, or have other connections to get in.
Lin Ziqiu took a quick look around. Of course, the things here could not compare with those in her warehouse, but she still bought two cotton coats symbolically.
When she passed by a tailor shop, she suddenly had an idea.
There are a lot of fabrics in the warehouse. As long as you can draw them yourself, you can take them to the tailor shop and ask the tailor to help you make them.
However, most of the colors in this era are blue, white and gray. If you wear clothes that are too bright or too eye-catching, you will be criticized.
Lin Ziqiu knew nothing about fashion design, and it was obviously unrealistic for her to draw the draft herself, but the materials in her warehouse were all good materials, which would be great for making clothes. By the beginning of next spring, she would be able to wear them comfortably and decently.
She planned to go home and sort out the right fabrics before coming here again.
Thinking that the meat at home was almost gone, she bought some when she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Hey, isn't this the new daughter-in-law of the Zhong family?"
She was just taking the meat handed to her by the salesperson when she was attracted by the voice behind her. She turned around and saw... she didn't recognize the person.
The person who was speaking was dressed very ordinary, but the woman who was traveling with her was wearing gold and silver jewelry and looked like a nouveau riche.
Seeing her standing there without saying anything or calling anyone, Chen Xia was unhappy. "It's no wonder that you don't even know how to call your elders. People who are born by their mothers but not raised by them are not presentable."
The woman standing next to her was Wei Yufei, Ruan Qing's mother.
He looked superior and stared at Lin Ziqiu.
Lin Ziqiu never liked to argue with others, but she couldn't tolerate this kind of deliberate provocation.
"What the hell, you crawled out of a sewer? Who do you think you are? You call me an elder? Do I know you? You have such a big face!"
Chen Xia was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She pointed at Lin Ziqiu and cursed: "Uneducated thing! How could we let someone like you into our compound!"
Lin Ziqiu laughed instead of getting angry: "If someone like you can get in, why can't I?"
"you--"
Chen Xia’s husband is just a driver for Commander Ruan, but she usually looks down on others because of her good relationship with Wei Yufei.
Many people in the compound have been ridiculed by her openly or secretly, but everyone just doesn't want to tear their faces apart and make things too ugly, so basically no one bothers to argue with her.
So much so that she became even worse.
"You don't have to consider me your elder! But Wei Yufei is your sister-in-law's mother-in-law, how can she not be considered your elder? Yesterday I heard that you bullied our Qingqing in the art troupe, and we haven't settled the score with you yet, and you still dare to be so arrogant today!"
She couldn't suppress the opponent with her own status, so she had to bring Wei Yufei out.
When Lin Ziqiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows. It turned out to be the mother of that stupid lady.
"You are wrong. My sister-in-law has divorced Wei Zhihe. What's the point of calling her mother-in-law? She hasn't even come forward to acknowledge us as relatives, but you are so anxious. I didn't know that you are the head of the Ruan family now?"
When I think of the bad things Li Guixiang told me before.
My sister-in-law suffered a lot of grievances in the Ruan family, especially after giving birth to two children. Wei Yufei's face was the most disgusting.
It was she who urged Zhong Siyu to have a baby, but after finding out that Zhong Siyu was sick, she turned against him.
I've never seen a grandma like this.
Other grandmothers value their grandchildren more than their own lives. If a child is sick, they will spend all their money to get him treated.
This old couple is really cruel and only cares about the Ruan family's reputation.
They didn't even care if the children had Zhong Xueyuan's surname. They simply didn't want to acknowledge these two children.
It was the first time that Chen Xia had heard someone so eloquent, especially what Lin Ziqiu had just said, which made Wei Yufei very unhappy.
He even glanced at Chen Xia as if warning, blaming her for being nosy.
Wei Yufei sneered, "Lin Ziqiu, right? You are quite good at talking. No wonder Zhong Zhiyang didn't want you, but you were able to convince Li Guixiang to let Zhong Heyang marry you."
Lin Ziqiu replied: "Thank you for the compliment. Your daughter has been chasing my man for so many years but still hasn't succeeded. Maybe she's just too dumb in talking. She needs to learn more from me! Just let her come to me. I promise to teach her for free."
Wei Yufei implied that she was an abandoned woman, which was really ridiculous.
