Chapter 31 Chapter 31
"A bunch of useless people who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."
After learning that the gangsters had failed, Liu Jing cursed them to their faces.
The thugs just wanted her money, and they were not without temper. They became furious when they heard this.
"Who are you calling a loser? Bitch, if we hadn't been doing this for you, would we be in such a mess?"
Seeing the hooligans' faces change, Liu Jing restrained her look of disgust, fearing that they would really pick up the sticks beside them.
"That little girl is just too cunning. You don't know that she went to my house a few days ago and caused a huge disturbance."
While stuffing money into her pocket, she threw the blame onto He Tingting.
When He Tingting was mentioned, the leading thugs became so depressed that they started cursing.
"This girl is really a bit strange. How can she be so lucky? We just went to look for trouble today, and she already sneaked into the university cafeteria."
That's a really good unit.
The university cafeteria was established by the school itself. It sounds like a good job. How could it be taken over by this girl who has no parents and no power?
This matter has not spread yet.
After hearing what the gangster said, Liu Jing realized that He Tingting had entered the university cafeteria.
Her eyes widened in surprise.
"What university cafeteria? Could it be Bei'an University?"
"Yes, it's Bei'an University. I heard that she went to the small cafeteria where most of the teachers go. There are only three or four stalls there, and the chefs are all hired by the school. I don't know how she got this golden rice bowl."
The tone of the person who spoke was already sour enough, but Liu Jing's heart was even more turbulent.
The gangsters' sources of information were inaccurate, and Liu Jing knew more.
It is true that the school’s small cafeteria was established by Bei’an University itself, and the school selectively recruited chefs, but it is not a stable job with a salary provided by the school.
How much the chefs there can earn each month is still calculated based on sales volume.
It was precisely because she knew this that Liu Jing felt so upset.
That girl He Tingting can do such a prosperous business by setting up a stall in an open place. If she is really given a stall, wouldn't she make money several times faster?
With her sister around, how could He Lili not be able to go to school?
At this moment, Liu Jing had to admit that she and He Lili were probably not destined to be together.
All the money she paid to the gangsters to cause trouble for her was in vain.
Liu Jing felt very uncomfortable.
Some people can't swallow this.
He Tingting went to her house and saw the red words written on the front door. She wiped them off for two hours. Could it be that she was just going to let the matter go?
Thinking about her mother-in-law who had become increasingly cold towards her recently and her husband who was becoming more and more impatient with her, Liu Jing felt even more resentful.
If it weren't for the two sisters from the He family, her family wouldn't have been in such a mess.
She blamed all the mistakes on He Tingting, and for a moment she couldn't think of a way to take revenge on He Tingting, and she felt dizzy with anger.
Some people could hardly stand and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
This look scared the gangster next to him.
The oldest among this group of people in society is only 25 years old. Liu Jing is about the same age as their aunt. If something really happens in front of them, no one can afford it.
"Don't try to blackmail us. We didn't touch you."
The leading thug took the money, winked at his men, and quickly walked out while Liu Jing was still standing.
Liu Jing was already so angry that she had a headache. After hearing this, her headache became even worse. She squatted down with the help of the wall. Her vision went dark and her entire left hand became numb.
It took her a long time to recover before she was able to stand up and hurried to a nearby hospital.
Liu Jing spent the entire afternoon undergoing all possible tests, and finally the doctor gave her a conclusion that she had a mild cerebral infarction.
Liu Jing felt like the sky was falling.
At this moment, He Tingting and He Lili no longer mattered.
"Doctor, is there any cure for my condition?"
"Don't worry too much, it's not serious. With proper treatment, it can usually be cured."
Liu Jing was relieved. While receiving the infusion, she borrowed the public phone in the hospital and reported the news to her family.
Her mother-in-law was the only one at home, and she came hurriedly after receiving the call.
But it can be seen that Liu Jing still has nothing good to say.
"Before, you were just infertile, but at least you were a healthy person. Now you're well, but you're also sick. It's really unlucky for my son to marry you."
Liu Jing was lying in bed, feeling much better, but upon hearing this, the headache that had subsided immediately came back.
"Doctor, doctor!"

After moving to the new environment, He Tingting was not fully prepared at first.
Bei'an University has two cafeterias, one small and one large.
The cafeteria is open to everyone and the prices are affordable. People who live nearby may come to the cafeteria of Bei'an University for a meal when they don't want to cook, or buy some at the entrance of Bei'an University.
The small cafeteria is more closed and hidden, and basically only teachers and students of the school come here.
More teachers come, and fewer students come.
Over time, the people who came here to sell food became teachers working in the school and top students who had a good relationship with the teachers.
Those who are afraid of meeting the teacher in the cafeteria rarely come to the small cafeteria.
Therefore, when He Tingting came on the first day, she didn't find many people.
Her usual customers still went to the door as usual, and only felt something was wrong when they didn't find her at the door.
Guo Zhuang, who was standing next to He Tingting's stall, was taking advantage of her today. Some of the customers who came to ask where He Tingting had gone didn't want to make another trip, so they just bought a bowl of noodles from his stall.
After the customers dispersed, Guo Zhuang roughly calculated that today's income could be twice as high as usual.
"Mom, thanks to Tingting, I made a profit today."
After He Tingting left, the person who was most happy was her old rival Wang Qi.
Even though there were not many customers, it did not affect Wang Qi's happy face. After hearing what Guo Zhuang said, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"You can be proud for just one day. Now that He Tingting is gone, I wonder how your business will fare in the future!"
At the same time, he thought very optimistically.
Doing business is not that simple, and there are some feng shui considerations involved.
If He Tingting moved her business, would her business still be as prosperous as it is today?
He might not think so.
It is more likely that business will deteriorate if the location is moved.
Inside the small cafeteria.
He Tingting's business is indeed not as good as usual.
Things that usually sell out in more than half an hour took more than an hour to sell out.
But in He Tingting's view, this is not a bad thing.
"I'll be closing up shop soon. I'll take you shopping in the city and buy you a new stove."
The gas industry is quite developed these days, and you can see a gas store every few blocks.
With gas and her own stall, she can clear out a special place and cook here without having to run around.
Although the price of gas is higher than that of firewood, it is extremely suitable for cooking.
In the afternoon, He Tingting hung the sign for lunch and dinner boxed meals on her stall and greeted the neighbors on the stalls on both sides for a while.
The chefs at the stalls were all recruited from schools and selected, and they all looked very kind.
Knowing that He Tingting wanted to buy a gas stove, Liu Yu from the stall next door was very enthusiastic and shared his experience with He Tingting.
"You're young, so don't be too hasty when buying things there. You must bargain, otherwise the owner of the store will definitely charge you a high price."
"Thank you. I will bargain hard when the time comes."
Liu Yugang next door got married. He is not much older than He Tingting. When he met a younger sister of similar age, they spoke very intimately.
After saying goodbye to her, He Tingting packed up the cookware and took He Lili on a bike ride to the shopping mall in the city.
This was her first time shopping in a shopping mall of this era, and everything she saw seemed new and new.
Unlike shopping malls in the future, this time there was a glass cabinet separating the tellers and customers.
The merchant's goods are displayed in the cabinets, and customers can choose across the counter. If they see something they like, they can ask the cashier to take it out for a look.
Later, only stores selling gold, silver and jewelry retained this type of counter, but now, it can be seen everywhere.
He Tingting took He Lili to a children's clothing store and bought two sets of clothes.
While it was still early, I took her to the bookstore and bought her two fable books.
When He Tingting was young, she loved reading this kind of books the most. They were full of interesting short stories and were also books for learning knowledge. She wouldn't be scolded by her parents for reading them.
She spent the rest of her time in the store that sold kitchen supplies.
I bought a wok and then picked out a new set of matching kitchenware.
After buying everything I needed, it was almost evening.
He Tingting took He Lili home before dark.
Today is a short vacation for the two sisters. He Tingting packed up all the things, took the little girl to lie on the kang early, lit the lamp, and told her a few prophecy stories from the book.
It was the first time for He Lili to listen to a story like this, and the stories in the book were so interesting.
Originally, her sister was trying to coax her to sleep, but the more He Lili listened, the more energetic she became.
When He Tingting came to her senses, she had already told He Lili five fables in a row.
"No, I won't read it anymore. Bring the book to the stall tomorrow and sit there to read it."
He Lili leaned over to take a look and for the first time felt an urgent desire to go to school.
"Sister, there are many words on it that I don't recognize. Please teach me first."
She took the initiative to learn. He Tingting was so happy that she taught her how to read for half a day. When she looked at the clock again, it was already very late.
He Tingting turned off the lights.
"Okay, no more learning today. I'll read it to you tomorrow. By the time you return to school next semester, you'll know all the characters."
He Lili hummed and huddled under the quilt.
When she was drowsy, He Lili finally remembered what had happened and mumbled something to He Tingting.
"By the way, sister, I heard from Dazhuang today that Liu Jing was hospitalized. They said it was a cerebral infarction. Do you know this person?"
All the few moments of sleepiness that He Tingting had were gone.
"Who? Liu Jing?"
