Chapter 298 True Loneliness
At this time, He Xiangju's father thought for a moment and said, "I have to keep this money for you. You're divorced now, and you might need money from home in the future. I can't let you take this money out."
He Xiangju looked at her father and sneered, "Dad, what do you mean? Are you going to keep this money?"
He Xiangju's father said, "Don't say such harsh words. I'm doing this for your own good. I want to leave you some room for maneuver."
He Xiangju looked at her father and said, "It's useless for you to keep it. I have my ID card and I can go to the bank to report the passbook lost. I see through you now. You can't rely on any of you."
He Xiangju's father was so angry that his eyes widened: "You really have no conscience. Why are we here? Isn't it all for you? How come you don't understand anything?"
"For me? Isn't it so that I won't get divorced and you can rely on us in the future? When I lived with Liu Hao, I contributed less money and things to the family all year round? Now that I'm useless, you kick me out, and you have the nerve to say that." He Xiangju's expression was a little distorted at this time, and her face was frighteningly pale.
He Xiangju's mother still felt sorry for her daughter. She pulled He Xiangju's arm and said, "Xiangju, you really are mistaken. You are our child after all. If something really happened to you, we wouldn't mind. Your father is also angry about your divorce. When he calms down, will he still not let you go home?"
He Xiangju shook off her mother's hand: "Don't say anything. I have a shallow relationship with you as father and daughter. Let's go our separate ways today. From now on, just pretend that you don't have a daughter like me." After saying that, she picked up her bag, turned around and went to the roadside to take a taxi.
He Xiangju's mother chased after him and said, "Xiangju, you can't be so heartless."
He Xiangju put the things in the car and said to her mother, "You were the ones who were cruel first." Then she got in the car and asked the driver to drive away.
He Xiangju's parents watched the taxi drive away with mixed feelings.
Looking at He Xiangju outside the car window, she felt so helpless for the first time and burst into tears.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxia is studying hard at home. Lin Jianye has set up Lin Mei's school in the past two days. He originally wanted to let her go directly to the third grade of junior high school next semester and spend money to give her tutoring during this period, but after discussing with her family these days, it is better to let her return to school as soon as possible to adapt to the school atmosphere as soon as possible, so she will start going to school next Monday.
Lin Jianye and Huang Wanxia directly carried out the donation of a library to the school that Lin Xiaoxia had mentioned before, and Lin Xiaoxia didn't have to spend any money.
From then on, Lin Mei officially returned to school. She asked teachers for extra lessons on weekends and holidays. If she spent more money and energy, there was still hope that she could get into a technical school.
Lin Xiaoxia also thought of Ai Xiaoping. Although she was a member of the Ai family, she had also been her biological sister for more than ten years. They depended on each other, so she planned to visit Ai Xiaoping when she had time and ask her whether she wanted to go to school or learn a craft. She had to make arrangements for her.
In the evening, Lin Xiaoxia heard Lu Jingshen say that Liu Hao was divorced. Liu Hao promised him that he would work hard.
They both lamented He Xiangju's self-destructive behavior. Her suicide did not save her marriage, but instead accelerated her divorce. It was hard to tell whether she was smart or stupid.
In addition to studying these two days, Lin Xiaoxia also wrote down several cake and bread recipes, drew illustrations, drew some packaging boxes, designed a store logo, and made two relatively novel posters.
Then she made an appointment with Sun Qiang to visit his uncle's cake shop and give these to her uncle.
For a cake shop, one thing is taste, the other is packaging.
Sun Qiang drove directly to pick up Lin Xiaoxia and went to his uncle's shop together.
The location of the store is not bad, about 60 to 70 square meters, and the sign simply says "Fule Cake Shop". It is a pretty standard store.
After the two of them went in, a man in his thirties, wearing black pants, a beige jacket, short hair, and very clean, walked out from the counter: "Xiao Qiang is here."
Sun Qiang said to the man, "Uncle, I'll bring my sister-in-law over to take a look. I told you before that my sister-in-law is an expert at making Western pastries. She has a good business sense. Let her come and give you some pointers."
Lin Xiaoxia also followed Sun Qiang in calling the man "uncle". This had to be explained by Sun Qiang. After all, she and Lu Jingshen regarded Sun Qiang as their own brother.
Sun Qiang's uncle is Feng Yuanshan. He has heard Sun Qiang mention Lin Xiaoxia many times before. He knows about Sun Qiang's family affairs and knows that Sun Qiang is bullied by his stepmother. Feng Yuanshan can see the transformation of Sun Qiang in the past six months, and he knows that this is all thanks to Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen.
He quickly stepped forward and extended his hand: "I've always heard Xiaoqiang talk about Miss Lin, and today I finally got to meet her. Nice to meet you."
Lin Xiaoxia shook hands with Feng Yuanshan and said, "Uncle, just call me Xiaoxia. Jingshen and I treat Qiangzi as our own brother. Uncle, please don't be shy with me."
Feng Yuanshan smiled and said, "Well, Xiaoqiang lost his mother when he was young. Although his father is rich and powerful, he has suffered a lot. Thanks to you two, I have seen the changes in Xiaoqiang. I really thank you."
Lin Xiaoxia said: "Uncle, you've gone too far. And to be honest, Qiangzi is also my benefactor. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have the start-up capital to start a business. Let's not be polite."
Sun Qiang also smiled and said to Feng Yuanshan: "Uncle, we are all family, there is no need to be polite."
Feng Yuanshan said, "You guys sit down first, I'll get you some soda." Then he went into the counter.
Lin Xiaoxia and Sun Qiang sat down at a small tea table by the window.
After sitting down, Lin Xiaoxia also observed the store. There were no major problems overall, but it lacked any special features and was too conventional. The cakes were all traditional birthday cakes, the longevity peach kind.
The packaging boxes are all purchased ready-made and have no style of their own at all.
She knew that she had prepared everything, except for not making two cakes in advance. But then she thought again, she had all the ingredients, so it would be better to make them on the spot.
Feng Yuanshan came over with a few bottles of soda, placed them on the table, opened them with a bottle opener, and handed one to Lin Xiaoxia and Sun Qiang, then sat down himself. "I've run this shop for six years, and it's been neither hot nor cold. I've tried to change it, but it didn't help much."
Lin Xiaoxia took out all the things she had brought from her bag and handed Feng Yuanshan the ratios of bread and cakes she had written. "Uncle, you know this, you should be able to understand it. Take a look at these and see if they are very novel."
Feng Yuanshan was a little surprised after reading it: "Where did you see this in a book?"
Lin Xiaoxia could only repeat her previous explanations: "When I was in school, I saw some nice-looking notebooks on a junk collector's cart. I traded them for scrap metal. I saw them there. I have a good memory, and since I was poor, I didn't have many books to read. I would just flip through them when I had nothing to do, and that's how I memorized them. It's just that I didn't have a place to try it before. After I got married, my in-laws had the means, so I gave it a try. I didn't expect it to be quite good."
