Chapter 11 Now I'm Brave



"What's wrong with your injury?" Song Wei asked again.

"I got robbed on my way home from get off work."

"Robbery?" His black eyes flashed, and he didn't ask any further.

Then he took out an envelope and gave it to Ling Ju, "Here, a meeting gift from big brother."

"Oh, how can I feel so embarrassed!" Ling Ju scratched his head and didn't take the envelope.

"Here, it's a small token of my appreciation. You can go back now."

After putting away the envelope and thanking him, Ling Ju stood up to leave when he suddenly remembered, "Brother, don't reveal our relationship in the factory. I don't want others to think that I'm a relative of mine."

"Um."

Watching Ling Ju leave the office, he picked up the phone on the table and said, "Hu Wei, call Secretary Chen and come to my office later." Then he hung up, crossed his legs on the desk, and stroked his chin with his fingers. Interesting, really interesting.

After leaving Song Wei's office, Ling Ju patted her heart. Oh my god, she really needed to stay away from Song Wei. He was too dangerous. She had thought Song Wei was trying to intimidate her, but this family was so strange. They just accepted her like that?

He trotted downstairs to his office, saw a pile of documents on the table, rolled up his sleeves and started working.

After finishing all the work, I went to the factory to check the progress. When I returned to the office, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. I even forgot to eat lunch.

She went to the cafeteria with the intention of giving it a try, and to her surprise, there were some leftovers and steamed buns. After finishing her meal, she suddenly remembered that Song Xin and Ms. Shen were still in the family compound, and she had completely forgotten about them. . .

When I was leaving, I suddenly saw the envelope given by Song Wei, and was shocked after opening it!

There were fifty ten-yuan bills in the envelope, a total of five hundred yuan!

Five hundred!!! Her annual salary is only over three hundred!

"Brother! You are such a good brother! From today on, I have no prejudice against you, only admiration!"

He put the money in his bag and went to find Hu Wei humming a little tune.

I told Hu Wei that I would leave early, got on my bike and went home. When I passed by the market, I bought some watermelon. There was someone selling chickens there, so I bought a chicken and some seasonings and side dishes and went home.

When she arrived at the hospital, she found many family members chatting downstairs. It was her first time back so early, so she rode her bike to the parking lot. After saying hello to Hongying and Liu Lin, she went upstairs and headed straight for Song Qi's dormitory. When she opened the door, she found Ms. Shen and Song Xin there, chatting.

Seeing Ling Ju coming in with a bag of things, Song Xin quickly stood up and said, "Second sister-in-law! Did you go to work today? I woke up this morning to look for you but you weren't there. I looked for my brother, but the captain's wife said that my brother and your brother were also out on a mission. I'm going to be suffocated all day! My mom and I haven't been out all day!"

"You're back." Ms. Shen also greeted.

Ling Ju nodded. "I'm sorry. I left in a hurry this morning and forgot to tell you. I went to the factory and found that Big Brother was there too, so I hurried back. You haven't eaten yet, right? Wait for me for half an hour and I'll make it. I won't go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Sister-in-law, can you cook?" There was not a single true word in the letter. It also said that the second sister-in-law was lazy and could not cook at all.

"yes!"

Carrying the things into the kitchen, Chen Chun and Song Xin wanted to help, but Ling Ju was useless.

I washed the rice, steamed it, washed the vegetables, cut the ingredients, blanched the chicken, and then rinsed it. Then, I put the chicken in another pan of oil and stir-fried it. I added onions, ginger, garlic, dried chilies, salt, and soy sauce, and then added two potatoes and simmered them slowly. Soon, the house was filled with fragrance.

I fried some spicy and sour cabbage and steamed the rice. When Ling Ju first came here, cooking was difficult. There was no gas or electricity, so I could only burn firewood or honeycomb coal. At first, I only dared to boil food, and slowly I learned how to use this stove.

The two dishes were served on the table, accompanied by fragrant rice, which made us very hungry.

"Sister-in-law, it smells so good!"

Chen Chun didn't say anything. He took a bite of the cabbage. "Hmm, it's fried well." He then took a piece of chicken. It was soft and tender, with just the right amount of saltiness. It was delicious. "It's really good."

Ling Ju didn't hesitate. "If it's delicious, eat more. There's more in the pot." Although Chen Chun's attitude towards her had improved, Ling Ju didn't expect to accept her so quickly. It wouldn't hurt to be a little more polite. Besides, she hadn't apologized yet. If Song Wei hadn't given her five hundred yuan, she wouldn't have stewed the chicken for Ms. Chen.

Song Xin finished his bowl of rice and ordered another. "Second sister-in-law, this is so delicious! I've never been so full before!"

Ling Ju looked at Song Xin's expression. This girl was innocent and interesting. "If it's delicious, I'll make it tomorrow. Don't make it too uncomfortable. I also bought some watermelon."

After dinner, Song Xin rushed to wash the dishes, leaving the room to Chen Chun and Ling Ju. She felt that her mother had something to say.

"Well, Ling Ju, this is for you." Chen Chun also took out an envelope and stuffed it into Ling Ju's hand.

"What are you doing?"

"A meeting gift and compensation for changing my statement!" Ms. Shen didn't beat around the bush.

"But, don't you want me to divorce Song Qi?"

Chen Chun's face turned red with embarrassment. "It's a misunderstanding. My fault. I apologize!"

Ling Ju had originally thought Ms. Shen was quite good at making things work, but she hadn't expected her to be as straightforward as Song Xin. So who did the Song brothers take their cunning ways from? Their father?

"I can't accept it. Song Qi is not here, I..."

"Take it, this is for you. How could Song Qi object?"

"But..." Before she could finish her words, Chen Chun pulled her to sit down, "Child, I was wrong to misunderstand you. I said those words to you because of an anonymous letter. I regret it now. Now I just hope that you and Song Qi can live a good life, and I will not interfere with you anymore."

Ling Ju looked at the sincere Chen Chun and nodded, "Thank you." She really couldn't call her mom now. She hadn't called her mom here or even Yong Lingyong's parents.

Holding the envelope in her hand, which was thicker than the one Song Wei gave her, she put it into her trouser pocket without pretending to be polite. She sighed in her heart that the Song family was really rich! Now she was full of curiosity about the Song family.

After Song Xin finished washing the dishes, the three of them talked about Song Qi's mission. "He left so hastily, and I don't know when he'll be back. Mom, why don't we go to my eldest brother's place tomorrow? My sister-in-law is at work, so we can just wander around."

Shen Chun nodded.

The three of them started eating watermelon again. Fortunately, the watermelon was not big, so all three of them had bloated stomachs after eating it.
