Chapter 235 Selling badly and borrowing money scares off Liu Qiang
After work at the garment factory, Song Baoer saw that Zhou Erni had not returned yet.
These days, Zhou Erni always stayed to work overtime.
In fact, all the things that should be done have been done, but Zhou Erni still went to the workshop to work overtime.
Song Baoer looked at Zhou Erni who was still operating the sewing machine, and came over to ask: "Erni, are you short of money?"
She paid Zhou Erni a lot of money.
Zhou Erni raised her head and said with a smile: "Director, my job is easier than that of the female workers. I don't feel tired. There is nothing to do when I go back. The clothing in our factory is in short supply, so I want to make more clothes."
Song Baoer said: "The nature of your work is different. If you don't feel tired, you can go and have a look at my book, which was sent from Hong Kong. It will be very helpful for our future creation."
Zhou Erni nodded and agreed, saying that she would go back after finishing the piece in her hand.
After the kidnapping incident, the Song brothers discussed that one of the brothers should stay by Song Baoer's side every day, but Song Baoer refused.
Song Baoer said that she would be fine as long as Sister Lan was by her side.
The Song brothers were worried until Sister Lan easily smashed a hole in the wall with one hand, and the Song family was stunned.
They really couldn't imagine that such an elegant and dignified woman like Lan Jie could have such explosive power.
When Song Baoer and Lan Jie went out, they saw Liu Qiang standing at the door.
Knowing that this was the man who had been pursuing Zhou Erni recently, Song Baoer thought that Zhou Erni was really concerned about the clothing factory. For the orders from the factory, she didn't even care about falling in love.
Liu Qiang waited outside the clothing factory for two hours. It was dark, but Zhou Erni didn't come out, and then left impatiently.
...
Zhou Dani saw that her sister always came back very late recently, so she asked, "Is he still waiting for you at the factory gate?"
"Yes."
"It's not a good idea to hide all the time. Have you made it clear to him?"
"I told him that we are not suitable. He said that we have too little time to spend together. We need to spend more time together to get used to each other."
The two sisters were in another place and did not dare to offend anyone. Apart from hiding, they could not think of any other solution for the time being.
After a long time, Song Baoer also realized that Zhou Erni stayed to work overtime just to avoid people.
Looking at Zhou Erni who was a little tired, Song Baoer said, "I have a way to make the man outside the door stop looking for you. Do you want to try it?"
Song Baoer approached Zhou Erni's ear and whispered softly.
Zhou Erni looked at Song Baoer half-believingly: "Is it that simple?"
Song Baoer said: "Try it and see, what if it works?"
...
So, Zhou Erni got off work normally that day.
Liu Qiang finally waited for Zhou Erni and said happily: "You finally don't have to work overtime today. This month's salary must be more than last month."
Zhou Erni sighed weakly and said: "What's the use of earning more? I can't afford it."
"Did your sister use the money?"
Zhou Erni shook her head: "My sister can't even use her own salary."
During this period, every time Liu Qiang came to see Zhou Erni, she was working overtime. He thought Zhou Erni didn't want to get along with him.
Although Zhou Erni was a rural person, her monthly salary was very attractive to him. He didn't have a job, so he wanted to find a high-paid partner.
Liu Qiang asked in a flattering way: "What's going on? Tell me what difficulties you have encountered and I will help you solve them."
Zhou Erni looked very happy: "Really? That's great. You know, we sisters have no relatives or friends here. We have to deal with everything on our own. It's great that you can help!"
Liu Qiang listened to Zhou Erni carefully.
"My mother has always been in poor health. We work outside to earn money for her medical treatment. Some time ago, we received a letter from home saying that my mother was seriously ill again. We wanted to bring her to Beijing for treatment, but the landlord wouldn't let the patient move in."
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy a house in Beijing? Once you buy the house, you can bring your mother over to live with you."
"Buying a house is just a beautiful wish of my sister and me. Our money is not enough to pay for my mother's medical treatment.
It would be great if I got married now so that I could bring my mother over
to live with me. You just said you would help me. Although we are not married yet, you should be talking to me with the intention of getting married. Can I bring my mother to live with you first?"
"This..." Liu Qiang didn't know how to respond.
"Don't worry, I will pay the rent for living in your house."
"We don't have many rooms."
"Then let's rent one near your house, and we can live in the rented house after we get married, and let my mother live in your house. After we get married, we will make money together, and we will definitely be able to cure my mother's illness."
Liu Qiang's face looked very unhappy.
Zhou Erni continued, "My mother is very ill this time, and my sister and I don't have enough wages. Can you lend me some money first? I will pay you back next month when I get paid."
"Well, you know, I don't have a job..."
"You can borrow some from your family. We will all be a family in the future. Your family helped me, and I will definitely be filial to your parents in the future."
"I'll go back and ask my mother if she has any money. I'm leaving first."
"Okay, then I won't waste your time. You hurry back to get the money. 500 yuan is enough for now. If it's not enough, I'll find a way."
Zhou Erni couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh secretly when she saw Liu Qiang running away.
After that, Liu Qiang never came to the clothing factory to find Zhou Erni again, and Zhou Erni was happy.
She told Song Baoer about the good news.
Song Baoer said, "If you take advantage of your victory, you won't have to worry about the future."
Zhou Erni followed Song Baoer's words and went to Liu Qiang's house to ask him if he had borrowed the money.
After hearing that he hadn't borrowed the money, Zhou Erni mentioned getting married.
Liu Qiang said awkwardly, "After spending some time together, I think you were right. We have different personalities and are really not suitable."
Zhou Erni said sadly: "Brother Liu Qiang, how can you say that? When I said we were not suitable, you said we had been together for a short time and we just needed more time to get used to each other.
I listened to you and spent more time with you, and it really worked. I have already decided to spend my life with you. Now you say we are not suitable. Aren't you kidding me?"
Zhou Erni covered her face and cried, attracting the attention of the neighbors.
Liu Qiang's mother came out and said, "Girl, you can't force your feelings. Besides, we can't help you with your family's problems. You should figure it out yourself."
Zhou Erni held Liu's mother's hand and cried, "Auntie, if it's because of me borrowing money, then I won't lend you money. Please let me be with brother Liu Qiang and don't separate us."
Seeing Zhou Erni crying so sadly, the neighbors came to ask her what happened at home.
Zhou Erni told everyone about her mother's illness, and everyone looked at her with sympathy.
The next morning, Zhou Erni came to the door of Liu Qiang's house, without saying a word, just looking at the door of Liu Qiang's house. As long as Liu Qiang came out, she looked at him silently without saying a word. She
persisted in this way for three days.
Liu Qiang brought a girl with him, saying that she was a blind date arranged by his family for him and that they would be engaged in two days. He hoped that Zhou Erni would stop pestering him.
Zhou Erni wished them happiness with tears in her eyes, and then ran away sadly.
After running far away, Zhou Erni looked back in the direction of Liu Qiang's house, and a smile appeared on her lips.
There was a vendor selling popsicles on the roadside, and Zhou Erni bought two popsicles and took them home happily.
