Chapter 962: Settling Lin Jinshun
Tang Min said embarrassedly, "I haven't done this job before. I'm not good at sewing."
Gu Jingxiu smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law, I will."
Gu Jingqi looked at Gu Jingxiu and praised her, "Yes, my sister is very good at sewing. She used to learn from mom."
In rural areas, when a girl grows up, her mother will first teach her how to do needlework and cook, so that when she gets married, she will not be despised by her in-laws.
When Tang Min was in the countryside, Li Qiumei would never take the time to teach her needlework. Of course, she would not teach her how to cook. She had been provided with three meals a day since she was a child, so she had developed her cooking skills.
Tang Min looked at Gu Jingxiu, who had the temperament of a good wife and mother, and smiled, "Hey, let's do the cotton wool tomorrow, and you can sew it for Jingqi later."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
While everyone was chatting, Gu Jingchuan's cell phone rang.
Gu Jingchuan took the phone and said, "I'll take it."
"Jingchuan, it's me."
The call was from Gu Decheng.
Gu Jingchuan heard his father's voice and asked, "Dad, why did you call me so late?
Is everything going well after the restaurant opened?
"Everything is fine. I have something very important to tell Xiao Min."
Every time Gu Decheng made a phone call, he was afraid that the other party couldn't hear him, so he always shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Tell Xiao Min?"
"right."
Gu Jingchuan handed the phone to Tang Min, "Dad wants to talk to you."
Tang Min picked up the phone and asked, "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Xiao Min, it's like this."
Gu Decheng said, "After we returned home, I went to Shanghe Village to see your father. He was alone at home, which was quite pitiful. He had an icy stove all day and couldn't even have a hot meal. I thought about it and took him to the town."
Tang Min was surprised, "Did you take him to the town?
Where does he live then?"
Gu Decheng replied, "Just live in the yard you rented before, don't your mother and I live there too?
In a few days I will go to Longshan County to collect medicinal herbs. Your mother and your eldest brother are busy in the restaurant. When your eldest brother comes back, he will learn to cook from your mother. I am really worried about him buying dishes, so I plan to let your father help purchase vegetables and clean the restaurant. I will give him a salary every month. He doesn't need much expenses, so it is enough to support himself."
After hearing what Gu Decheng said, Tang Min stood up happily, holding the phone with both hands, and said loudly, "Dad, that's great, thank you."
Gu Decheng chuckled, "We are all family, why are you being so polite to me?
Your father is an honest man and works diligently, I feel relieved to have him helping out in the restaurant."
Tang Min thought for a moment and asked, "Have you told him about this?
Does he agree?"
Lin Jinshun is such an honest and dull man. He has lived in the village all his life and seldom goes to the market. Would he be willing to live in the town?
Shanghe Village is his home after all, how could he leave it behind?
Gu Decheng said, "I agree. He is standing next to me now. We helped him move down from the village today."
Gu Decheng handed the phone to Lin Jinshun and said, "Let your father say a few words to you."
"Hello, Xiao Min, I'm Dad."
Lin Jinshun's voice came.
"Dad, are you okay at home? I just heard that you moved to town?"
Tang Min asked hurriedly.
Lin Jinshun replied, "Yes, my in-laws came to our house a few days ago. When he saw the life I was living, he insisted that I move to the town and help out at the restaurant. So I moved here. I don't know if I can do it well."
Tang Min could tell how nervous Lin Jinshun was. She was afraid that he didn't have the confidence to do it, so she quickly encouraged him, "It's not a bad job. Just buy some vegetables. They are all familiar with us. Just keep an eye on the scale and make sure they don't shortchange you. Every time you buy some vegetables, just give me the bill and tell them."
After hearing what Tang Min said, Lin Jinshun felt more at ease, "I can recognize the scale."
"Dad, you should work hard in the restaurant from now on and don't go back to Shanghe Village."
Tang Min felt sad when she thought about how he was alone in the village, not having enough meals to eat and no one cared when he was sick.
Lin Jinshun said, "I sold all the pigs and mules at home, and when the market is not open, I will go to the market to harvest corn."
Tang Min warned, "After the corn is harvested, don't continue to plant. You are the only one at home, how much can you eat? You can work in the restaurant first, and when you are too old to work, I will ask Lin Yongqiang to bring you to the city."
"Oh, okay."
When Lin Jinshun heard his daughter's words, his face was full of relief. "Xiao Min, my in-laws told me a lot about your life in the city after they came back. I'm really happy that you can live like this now. I feel relieved."
Only if Tang Min lives a good life can he alleviate his inner guilt.
Lin Jinshun warned him, "And Yongqiang, you should teach him a lesson more often so that he doesn't go astray. He's not a bad person by nature. It's just that I didn't have the ability to educate him before, so he became lazy."
"He's fine, don't worry, just take care of yourself."
"Okay, everything is fine at home, so you don't have to worry."
Tang Min gave the phone to Gu Jingchuan.
Gu Jingchuan said to Gu Decheng, "Dad, you did the right thing. You all help each other in your hometown. If you have any difficulties, just call us."
"There's no problem at home. Your uncle and I will leave for Longshan County in the next two days. Let's reserve the medicinal herbs that are growing well there first. When we dig them, we can just buy them directly."
Gu Decheng was very motivated to do what he was best at, collecting medicinal herbs.
"Okay, then you guys be careful."
Gu Jingqi and Gu Jingxiu chatted with his father for a few words and then hung up the phone.
………
After returning to the house, Tang Min lay on the bed and took a deep breath. "The matter between Gao Zheng and Jingyue has finally come to an end. And Dad, I didn't expect him to help me solve such a big problem. To be honest, I have always been worried about my adopted son. Sometimes I want to hate him, but I just can't. He lives alone in Shanghe Village. He must be bullied. No one cares when he is sick. The last time I went back to my hometown and saw him, he was curled up in the quilt alone, and the rice in the pot had been rotten for several days.
If he really had an accident, he would have died on the kang and no one would have noticed. Now he works in a restaurant, where he can meet more people and feel happier.
Gu Jingchuan lay down beside her and held her in his arms, "Dad knows that you are kind and can't let go of your adopted son, so he will solve the problem for you."
Tang Min smiled, "My parents are kind people."
"From now on, we don't have to worry about things back home."
Gu Jingchuan looked at her and said, "Where is Lin Yongqiang?
It's not a good idea for him to stay in that place all the time. Sooner or later, something bad will happen to him."
"He's acting as a spy for Lao Gao. I hope he can redeem himself in the future."
Tang Min said this with a serious look on his face, "But he is so stupid, this job is really dangerous."
