Chapter 399 You Don’t Dislike It, Do You?
After lunch, Lin Qingqing returned to the store. Bao Cheng and Li Xiang were there, so she couldn't help much. It would be better to go back to the store. She was afraid that Chen Shuang couldn't handle it alone.
After returning, Lin Qingqing found that there were some bruises on the corners of Chen Shuang's mouth. There were no bruises yesterday, but today there were bruises. Although it had been a night, the traces of beatings could still be seen.
There were customers in the store, so she didn't dare ask too many questions. Besides, it was someone else's family affair. If she asked and the other person didn't want to talk, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Although Chen Shuang had a bruise on the corner of her mouth, she was still enthusiastic towards customers and it did not affect her sales at all.
Lin Qingqing liked this about her. At only seventeen years old, she knew not to bring emotions into work and could distinguish between the important and the unimportant.
When Chen Shuang saw her come back, she happily called out, "Sister Qingqing!" and turned around to go back to her work.
The whole afternoon was spent in busyness. When she got off work, Lin Qingqing took out a few meat buns and gave them to Chen Shuang. She brought them from the cafeteria. The cafeteria made a lot of meat buns at noon, and Lin Qingqing brought them to Chen Shuang for fear of wasting them if they couldn't finish them.
She heard from Chen Shuang that her family was not well off, she had two younger brothers, and they had never eaten meat all year round.
She stuffed the meat bun into Chen Shuang's hand: "These are leftovers from the factory cafeteria at noon. You don't mind, do you?"
Chen Shuang was embarrassed to ask for it, and blushed as she evaded the question: "Sister Qingqing, I'm already very satisfied to be able to work here, how can I have the nerve to ask for your things."
"If you don't mind, take it."
Lin Qingqing said so. If Chen Shuang still refused it, wouldn't it seem ungrateful? How could she dislike it? Such a big meat bun, her two younger brothers would definitely scramble to eat it when they saw it.
She put the meat buns into her net bag, thanked Lin Qingqing, and carried it home.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached a corner, she saw a broken bicycle rushing towards her. Then her father, Chen Pang, used his foot as a brake and stopped in front of her with a hissing sound. He asked with a crooked mouth, "What do you think about what I told you yesterday?"
Chen Shuang was frightened when she saw her father. She didn't answer and subconsciously took a few quick steps.
After she got off work yesterday, her father Chen Pang came back a while later and told her a piece of news. He said that Ma Daya's son had taken a fancy to her and wanted to come to their house to propose marriage. If she agreed, they would get married in the early spring of next year.
Chen Shuang refused at that time.
Ma Daya was a well-known wealthy family in the county. His family was in the transportation business. His four daughters were all married, and he only had one precious son.
But his son Ma Ju is half-idiot and can't even speak clearly. If she marries such a man, her life will be over.
But Ma Daya announced that if she agreed to marry Ma Ju, she would give her family a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan. She also promised that the Ma family would cover all the money for her two younger brothers to marry in the future.
Fat Chen was simply overwhelmed by the Ma family's money. The guys he worked with were extremely envious and said that Fat Chen was so lucky that he was going to marry into the Ma family.
The Ma family is wealthy and powerful. As long as you have a connection with the Ma family, you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, let alone being Ma Ju's father-in-law.
Although Ma Ju was a little silly, she was a good person and would not suffer any loss if she married him. Besides, the Ma family only had this one child, so wouldn't all the Ma family wealth belong to her daughter in the future? By then, even a hair pulled out of her daughter's body would be thicker than his leg.
Fat Chen thought the same thing, and after hearing what his friends said, he immediately agreed to go home and discuss it with his daughter.
