The night after the trial, Ah Heung cleaned the floor of Yi Kee very well and even wiped the corners of the wall, as if she wanted to make Yi Kee a clean place where customers could take off their shoes and enter the store without any violation...
Jiayi came back from buying groceries and saw the clean windows and everything was as good as new. It was like returning home. Why did the store, which welcomed and sent people every day, need to be so clean?
Although Yi Jiadong told Ah Heung not to work so hard, she just smiled and said she was not tired, and was still busy.
The girl from the country had nothing but strength and determination to endure hardships. If she wanted to stay, she could only do her best.
Jiayi vaguely sensed Ah Heung's insecurity, and the next day she brought her the legal residence certificate issued by the police.
The moonlight shines on Ah Xiang's face and fills her eyes with sparkling water. The child who has the least sense of existence in her own family and around her parents, who works hard and longs for recognition but is always ignored, seems to not believe that she can get what she wants without asking for it.
Being remembered by others, someone keeps a promise for her... So this is it... The bitterness in her heart rushed to her eyes, and her tears still contained all the lonely and aggrieved figures in her distant memory.
Ah Xiang hugged Jia Yi, and the warmth warmed her face. She seemed to have found happiness.
That night, Ah Xiang personally cooked iron pot stewed pork ribs for the Yi family.
Jia Jun loved it so much that he even shouted that he wanted to list the iron pot stew as a must-have dish for the Yi family during the New Year.
Ah Xiang, who was sitting at the table, had eyes like stars, and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
Jiajun's words seemed to imply another meaning: Ah Xiang would be the chef and spend every festival with the Yi family.
Is it true that in Jiajun's heart, the gentle and extremely hardworking sister Ah Xiang is already his family?
Or, is the shy boy using this statement to indirectly express his idea of treating Ah Xiang as a relative...
There are many things in this world that are done for, but Ah Xiang met a family with excellent character.
Jiayi saw everything, and sitting at the table, she couldn't help but recall many things that happened in the past half month.
Ah Xiang is really good at remembering people.
She remembers everyone who has come to the store, and will greet them by name, giving customers a feeling of being at home.
Ah Xiang can sew clothes, and she sews very well. All the torn clothes in their closet were repaired by her. Even the hole on the curtain that Jiajun accidentally cut was sewed with a leaf by Ah Xiang with green thread.
Ah Xiang can also knit sweaters, and she knits very beautifully. She took the time when she was not busy and when she went home at night to knit a pink sweater with hollowed-out strawberries for Jiaru very quickly. Jiaru liked it so much that she wore it every day.
Every day when Jiajun got out of school, Ah Xiang was always the first to greet him, take over Jiajun's schoolbag, and then hand him a glass of water.
Jiaru's aunt came, but she didn't tell Ah Xiang, but Ah Xiang saw it at a glance, and then silently made ginger and brown sugar water for Jiaru, and put a hot water bag in it... Every hour, she would take away Jiaru's hot water bag, refill it with hot water, and hand it back to Jiaru.
Ah Xiang had been here for less than a month, and she had already become the mother of everyone in the Yi family. Everyone depended on her and needed her.
This was Ah Xiang's strength. Others needed her. No one could be as hard-working and careful as she was, and no one could do as well as she did. She was irreplaceable and could stay.
Although it was hard, she earned the life she wanted, and she was at ease.
This was what she wanted: you reap what you sow.
Now the senior sister sent by the police force to protect Ah Xiang has left, and Ah Xiang is still sleeping in the study of the Yi family for the time being.
On the way home at night, Jiayi took Ah Xiang's arm and walked together in the moonlight.
Looking at the laughing family in front of her, Jiayi whispered:
"Thank you for loving them."
This is the most precious thing in the world.
…
On Christmas Day, all the members of the Yi family received gifts from Yi Jiadong and Yi Jiayi—the one who makes money is the head of the family.
Even a pair of new socks with two gifts inside was quietly placed next to Ah Xiang’s pillow on the floor.
Yi Jiadong gave her a very beautiful signing pen, which she can use when keeping accounts. It is an important weapon for her to exchange for happiness.
Yi Jiayi gave her a pair of sports shoes to protect Ah Xiang’s feet so that she can walk briskly in the future.
The pen is very handy and the shoes fit her feet exceptionally well.
Ah Xiang sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, holding the two gifts and about to cry—this was the first time in her life that she received a brand new gift.
The whole city was decorated with lights and colors, and the citizens who love life would never miss any festival. Yesterday's Christmas Eve celebration was just the beginning. Now we have to celebrate Christmas, and then there will be New Year's Day and New Year...
When everyone was immersed in happiness, O's "shoveling snow" operation came to an end.
Wang Ting had been in contact with many parties for many days, and on this day, he set up a dragnet.
Many gangs in many regions, all of them were captured. The police suddenly rushed out like heavenly soldiers and fought many beautiful battles.
On the evening of the 29th, Wang Ting, secretly escorted by the police, took a boat from the pier to the mainland. Avoiding Guangdong and going directly to Shanghai.
In addition to the police, there was also a woman who saw him off at the pier. She
wore a dark red cheongsam and had a slender figure. The woman was not young and was Wang Ting's lover. Although she was weathered, she had beautiful eyebrows and eyes and was quite elegant.
The next day, Fang Zhenyue checked and found out that the woman's name was Yu Lianmei. She came to Hong Kong with her parents to work when she was a teenager. She was a smart woman with a lot of experience.
She opened 8 Internet cafes, 8 game halls, 2 hotels, and 1 beauty salon in Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, and Causeway Bay...
Jiayi followed the account and found that Wang Ting had put all his money in this woman's pocket.
In this circle full of distrust, there is such a thing of mutual trust.
It happened to Wang Ting, the "winner" who betrayed and deceived everyone.
Is there really someone in this world who can be trusted like this?
