Meanwhile, Tang Xiaohuan went to the restaurant owner's place. The restaurant owner first arranged accommodation for Tang Xiaohuan, which was a staff dormitory. There were four beds in a small room, one person slept in one toilet, and the kitchen and other facilities were shared.
Moreover, they lived in the shop itself. The front was the restaurant, the first floor of the back was the staff dormitory, and the second floor was where the owner's family lived. The backyard of the small restaurant was packed with more than a dozen people, including the owner's relatives and employees.
Tang Xiaohuan felt very uncomfortable when she first arrived. After all, the bookstore owner had given her a private room with a very nice environment. However, there was a constant smell of various dishes, and after smelling them for a while, she felt nauseous.
Furthermore, there are also some slop buckets on the first floor of the backyard where uneaten food is dumped. If they are not thrown away in time when it is hot, they will emit a sour and foul smell.
But she had nowhere else to go, so she had to make do here for the time being. The owner of the small restaurant helped her choose a bed and then told her about the rules here.
"We're short-staffed right now, so you can start doing the dishwasher job. If we need you to serve as a waiter or runner, just follow our instructions. We'll see what happens then."
The dishwashers here earn 30 yuan a month, and if you work as a waiter, it's 45 yuan a month. The pay is pretty good, and they provide room and board every month. So you can basically save your wages, and once you've saved enough, you can use it for other things.”
The restaurant owner chuckled, but Tang Xiaohuan couldn't laugh. It was only a little over 30 yuan a month!
The bookstore owner pays 75 yuan a month, and also provides room and board. It's much more tiring to be a dishwasher here, so why should he pay such a low wage!
Tang Xiaohuan was very angry, but she knew she couldn't ask directly, so she showed her hand instead.
"My hands are like this, I don't know if it will be convenient for me to wash dishes. Can I wear gloves to wash them?"
She showed the restaurant owner the wound on her hand, and the restaurant owner was indeed distressed again.
My goodness, how did you get your hand like this? The injury is so deep!
"You can wear gloves, don't worry. I bought gloves, just remember to wear them."
"good."
So Tang Xiaohuan settled down here. She talked to her colleagues and found out that it wasn't that the restaurant owner was stingy and deliberately paid her such a low wage, but that it was just how it was supposed to be.
Actually, the bookstore owner paid a much higher salary.
Tang Xiaohuan regretted it even more and wanted to go back to the bookstore owner, since the food and accommodation there were better.
But since they had already kicked her out, they definitely wouldn't let her go back. Tang Xiaohuan had no choice but to give up. She worked diligently for two days and felt that it was helpful, so they gave her a day off to rest.
Tang Xiaohuan took advantage of her break time to go find Yu Jiu, to see where she lived and what she was doing. She hadn't run into her before, so she couldn't do anything about it and couldn't get revenge on her. But now that she had run into her, she couldn't let Yu Jiu get away with it and let her live a good life.
Even if she can't destroy Yu Jiu, she'll destroy the people and things she cares about, otherwise she won't die in peace!
Tang Xiaohuan was filled with hatred, knowing that she had been living a life worse than death for years. She had been sold by that man to a remote rural area, becoming the shared wife of three brothers, where she was tortured every day and bore them five children.
Because things have opened up in recent years, the three brothers also wanted to go out to work to supplement their income, as farming alone wouldn't earn them much money. That's why she was able to run away while the other two brothers went out to work and the one left was working in the fields.
Because she had been there for a long time, everyone assumed she had resigned herself to her fate and wouldn't run away, so they weren't very wary of her.
She had planned it out a thousand times in her mind. Once she found the right opportunity, she took all the money in her family and ran away in one go. Luckily, she was very fortunate and succeeded on her first try. After running away, she kept taking buses and traveling far away. Then, by chance, she came here and was taken in by the bookstore owner.
Finally, she ran into Yu Jiu again. It was probably fate that she was destined to take revenge on Yu Jiu. Otherwise, how could they have met again in so many places across the country?
So everyone already knows she's here, she'll definitely find her. Tang Xiaohuan has the determination; she'll find Yu Jiu even if she has to knock on every door and ask around!
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang had already assigned someone to keep an eye on Tang Xiaohuan. Whenever she went out, she would inquire about Yu Jiu's address to see if anyone knew her. This news was immediately relayed to Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's ears. She really wasn't giving up!
"There are basically no people in that area who know me. Let her look for me if she wants. Anyway, we're moving soon. Just have someone keep an eye on me. If she's about to find out about me, have them create a little accident so that Tang Xiaohuan won't have time to look for me."
"good."
Xu Zi gave the orders again, and then he stopped paying attention to Tang Xiaohuan. He and Gouzi were going to the capital to inspect schools. They hadn't bought a house near a school before, but had chosen a location they liked. After they found a school this time, they might have to buy another house near the school.
Living closer to school makes it more convenient to go to and from school.
Everything was being organized smoothly, and soon half a month had passed. Xu Zijiang and Gouzi also returned from the capital. They had not only chosen a good school, but also selected and bought a house, so they could move there directly.
After returning from the capital, they started making arrangements for the shops and factories. After another half month, more than half of the semester had passed, and Tang Xiaohuan still hadn't found out about them.
Just as Yu Jiu was about to lower her guard, Tang Xiaohuan suddenly appeared in Yu Jiu's usual haunt. The person watching her didn't have time to stop her, because it looked like a passerby who just happened to stop next to Tang Xiaohuan, and the two started talking.
Unexpectedly, that person actually knew Yu Jiu and immediately told Tang Xiaohuan. The person keeping watch was too late to cause trouble and stop them; he could only report the news to Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang.
"It's alright, just keep an eye on her. If she comes looking for me, just let me know."
"OK."
Tang Xiaohuan was unaware that she was being closely watched; she was only excited because she was about to find Yu Jiu. Once she found Yu Jiu, how should she torture her to death? She needed to make her suffer as much as possible, and ideally, sell her to the other side of the mountain so she would become like herself.
Unbearable pain, aging, suffering, and psychological trauma accompany one throughout life!
Her idea was beautiful, but unfortunately, that wish will never come true in her lifetime.
When Tang Xiaohuan found the vicinity of Yu Jiu's house, Yu Jiu had already packed up and sent the things there to avoid suspicion, but most of them were still stored in her personal space.
As soon as the semester ended, Yu Jiu and her family took their children and immediately set off for the capital.
