Chapter 228: Use Less Cucumber (Please subscribe to support!)
…
"What's that look? Why, is there something wrong with me?"
Qi Qiaoqiao, holding a cucumber, looked at Xu Kaiwen in some confusion.
Xu Kai wanted to say: "If you need any help from me, just ask."
But when he thought about the fact that Qi Qiaoqiao might need help, it was hard to say it out loud, especially in public. Xu Kai swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and asked, "What does Zhang Gong want you to do?"
"What else can he do? He is penniless again." Qi Qiaoqiao said as if it was a matter of course.
"Does Zhang Gong still always ask you for money?" Xu Kai asked.
"Not really. You know, he can make money on his own. It's just that as an extra, he has work today but not tomorrow, and his job is uncertain. He is also a lazy person and spends money very lavishly, so it is inevitable that there will be times when he is penniless. That's when he will come to me to complain." Qi Qiaoqiao explained.
Xu Kai organized his words and said, "It's not a good idea for Zhang Gong to continue like this."
"He is in a period of confusion now. It will be fine once he gets over this and finds the direction of his life." Qi Qiaoqiao said casually.
"So... are you planning to keep living with him like this?" Xu Kai asked.
Somehow, Qi Qiaoqiao, who always kept her mouth shut, suddenly said to Xu Kai: "Actually... Zhang Gong is not my man."
"?"
Qi Qiaoqiao's answer was both unexpected and reasonable to Xu Kai.
Having said all, Qi Qiaoqiao told Xu Kai what she had wanted to say to him for a long time:
"My family used to run a repair shop. Eight years ago, a fire broke out that not only burned down my shop, but also killed two of my three employees and injured one."
"My father took out all the money in the family, sold the house, and paid part of the compensation to the three families. Then he became seriously ill and passed away not long after."
"My mom passed away even earlier. She was in a car accident when I was 12. After my dad passed away, I was the only one left in this world."
"I was only 18 at the time, and I felt so lost and had no direction in life."
"Later, I found out that the three families of my employees were all having a very hard time because they had lost their breadwinners, and some were even having trouble making ends meet."
"One of the three employees was the one who taught me martial arts when I was young. He was the one who was injured. More than 70% of his body was burned, and most of the burns were above the third degree, which is considered extremely severe. He was my father's brother-in-law and also my master, but my father only gave him 200,000 yuan and then left. The cost of his medical treatment alone is at least more than 500,000 yuan."
"I thought, since I didn't have anything to do anyway, I could just pay off my father's debt, so I took on the debt that my family owed to the three families."
"But at that time, I didn't even finish high school, and I wasn't good at studying. I couldn't even get into college. I didn't know anything except how to repair cars, drive, and fight. I really didn't know how I could pay off so much debt."
"Later, I went to Zhang Gong's furniture store to sell furniture."
"That's where I met Zhang Gong's mother, Sister Zhang."
"Sister Zhang is very capable and warm-hearted. Seeing that I was pitiful and had a large debt to pay off, she often took care of me, bought things for me, and even introduced me to a furniture store that was doing particularly well, so that I could make more money."
"Once, a few gangsters came to trouble Sister Zhang because of a debt dispute. I happened to be passing by and beat them away."
"Sister Zhang was very grateful to me. She knew I had an A1 license, so she took the initiative to lend me 300,000 yuan, which allowed me to buy a large truck. She also introduced me to jobs so that I could earn more and have hope of paying off my debts."
"Well, let me tell you, driving a long-distance truck is a bit tiring, but it's really profitable. Um... in a year, it's definitely no problem to make 300,000."
"Later, I was burning honeycomb coal to keep warm. I was so tired that I fell asleep. As a result, I was almost suffocated to death by the coal smoke. Fortunately, Sister Zhang came to me and saved me."
"You lent me money, helped me find business, and saved my life. How much do you think I owe Sister Zhang?"
Hearing this, Xu Kai also felt that Qi Qiaoqiao really owed Zhang Gong's mother a lot, and then thought: "No wonder Qi Qiaoqiao has always been with Zhang Gong."
Then, Qi Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Actually, Sister Zhang is not completely selfless. She likes me and wants me to be her daughter-in-law. She said that I am beautiful, capable, responsible, and self-disciplined. She also said that I have a big butt and will definitely give birth to a son. I am a blessed woman."
For some reason, when she said this, Qi Qiaoqiao subconsciously glanced at Xu Kai secretly - she wanted to see what Xu Kai's expression was after hearing what she said. But the result disappointed Qi Qiaoqiao, Xu Kai's face was still calm - she couldn't tell what Xu Kai, who was very cunning, was thinking.
Qi Qiaoqiao continued somewhat angrily, "Later, Zhang Gong, um...something happened, and he hid at home and didn't go out. Then, his furniture store also caught fire, and Sister Zhang was not spared. When Sister Zhang was dying, she entrusted Zhang Gong to me, and then I took Zhang Gong to run transportation. After that, something else happened, and the transportation business couldn't continue, so I took Zhang Gong to work everywhere, and finally Zhang Gong and I moved to Hengdian, where we worked as extras."
At this point, Qi Qiaoqiao looked at Xu Kai and said, "Then, I got to know you and became your driver."
After listening to Qi Qiaoqiao's entire story patiently, Xu Kai suddenly hugged the poor woman Qi Qiaoqiao in his arms.
Xu Kai's reckless behavior scared Qi Qiaoqiao!
However, Qi Qiaoqiao did not exclaim, but hurried to see Tian Haitang who was busy in the kitchen and Dong Ye and Li Zimei who were exercising.
Seeing that Tian Haitang, Dong Ye and Li Zimei didn't look at them, Qi Qiaoqiao asked Xu Kai in a low voice: "What are you doing, taking advantage of me?"
Although she said that, Qi Qiaoqiao did not push Xu Kai away, perhaps because she was afraid of disturbing Tian Haitang, Dong Ye or Li Zimei, or for some other reason.
Xu Kai patted Qi Qiaoqiao on the back and said to her, "Use less cucumbers. It's not good for your health."
After saying that, Xu Kai let go of Qi Qiaoqiao, and then went to the kitchen to see what delicious food Tian Haitang had made today? Qi Qiaoqiao was stunned for a while, then blinked: "What does he mean? Isn't he really taking advantage of me?"
Qi Qiaoqiao picked up the cucumber in her hand and looked at it, muttering, "Isn't it the best to use cucumber for skin care? How can it be bad for the body?"
