If it really was Sun Xiumin's doing, and she failed this time, she will definitely try again.
Xu Guiying told Xu Songyuan to be more careful when recruiting people, and to check their documents carefully before making any decisions. She even went to Lu Hui's grocery store after get off work today to ask her about Song Huimin.
It would be great if Song Huimin could come and help out at the store. If you're interested, you can have Song Huimin come to the store for a trial day on his day off before making a decision.
Lu Hui thought it was fine. Working in the lumber mill was just physical labor, cutting down and moving trees... it was just hard work, and you could see the end of the job before you knew it.
However, I need to go back to town and ask Song Huimin first. I said I'd give Xu Guiying an answer in a couple of days. If it works out, I'll come directly to Heping Lane to find her.
Two days later, the police found Xu Songyuan first. The contents of the dish were tested and found to be pesticide residue. If a person ingests it, it will burn the esophagus and intestines.
Upon hearing this, Xu Songyuan was so angry that he wanted to tear Zhao Qiang to pieces.
The actions of Sun Xiumin and her family are entirely their own doing, and have nothing to do with anyone else! They blame heaven and earth, but never themselves!
Xu Songyuan is paying more attention to the hygiene of the restaurant kitchen. Some places now have surveillance cameras, but those things are expensive and hard to buy. They are only used by government departments and important occasions like the Forbidden City. Xu Songyuan thought about it all day and decided that he would feel more at ease if his own people were in the restaurant.
On that very day.
Song Huimin also gave Xu Guiying a reply.
When Xu Guiying got home from get off work, she saw that Song Huimin had already come to the Song family home. Song Xinfu was talking to her about the store, and that she would be going to the store for a trial period the next day.
Song Huimin stayed at the Song family home that night and slept with the second son.
The next morning, I went to the shop with Song Xinfu.
Song Huimin learns quickly. First, he followed Xu Songyuan around the kitchen, looking at the food preparation and cutting area, the cooking area, and the food serving window... Then he followed Xu Songyuan around the main hall.
Song Huimin understood most of the situation. Around noon, he and Song Xinfu each took charge of one side of the task. They worked efficiently and cheerfully, which put Song Xinfu's mind at ease.
My second brother's three kids are all doing well.
They were busy from 11 a.m. until after 2 p.m. before they had time to eat lunch.
Xu Songyuan patted Song Huimin on the shoulder, "Huimin, how's it going? Can you handle the intensity?"
Song Huimin stood up and offered a cup of tea to Xu Songyuan and Song Xinfu.
"It's a bit busy, but it's good to be busy. It's more than twice as good as sawing trees before. Uncle, great uncle, I'll toast you with this glass."
Song Xinfu thought to himself that this kid knew how to handle things.
Xu Songyuan drank it with a smile, telling Song Huimin not to be polite, as he would be busy tomorrow.
Song Huimin stayed until after 5 p.m. before leaving. He was going back to town tonight and would tell the factory tomorrow.
...
On the other side, in the urban village.
After Zhao Qiang's affair failed, Sun Xiumin secretly held a grudge against him.
Every day, they throw garbage and rotten eggs at Zhao Qiang's doorstep.
Enraged, Zhao Qiang stormed into Sun Xiumin's house, had a huge argument with her, and even stole money from her.
It's only a dollar or two.
The sixty-odd yuan was not found.
Zhao Qiang guessed that Sun Xiumin had deliberately lied to him; how could an old woman who swept the streets have more than sixty yuan?
What a load of rubbish about settling the final payment.
After venting his anger, Zhao Qiang went out for drinks.
Sun Xiumin was so angry she almost vomited blood.
Zhao Qiang came from the countryside and worked as a laborer in his early years. After coming to the city to work, he was tricked into gambling by his coworkers. After one or two times, he became addicted. Later, he lost his job and couldn't pay off his gambling debts. He went into hiding and did petty theft.
Even his pretentious bicycle was stolen.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the money to buy it himself.
However, the poisoning attempt failed, but Sun Xiumin had given him twenty yuan beforehand, so it was still a gain.
After finishing his drink, Zhao Qiang was about to go home when suddenly his gaze froze.
Outside the same residential area where the bicycle was last recovered, an elderly middle-aged woman was waiting outside, constantly peering inside.
Zhao Qiang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He strode forward and pulled Liu's mother, who was waiting for Liu Aimei, to turn around.
Just as Old Lady Liu was about to unleash a torrent of curses, she saw Zhao Qiang and screamed as if she had seen a ghost.
Zhao Qiang stared at Old Lady Liu's face, "He Shuqiong?"
Old Lady Liu's jaw clenched, and she shoved Zhao Qiang aside before turning and running away.
Zhao Qiang: "What the hell are you running for!"
Zhao Qiang sized up Liu Laoniang's back view. Her clothes were neither new nor old, but she seemed to be doing better than him.
Zhao Qiang rode his bicycle and followed Liu Laoniang at a leisurely pace. He watched her enter an alley, hid his bicycle in a corner, and then walked over. He saw Liu Laoniang enter the Liu family home.
The house is quite big.
...
Old Lady Liu was still in shock when she got home.
All these years, wasn't Zhao Qiang supposed to be dead?! How is he still alive?!
To avoid arousing suspicion, Old Lady Liu went into the outhouse to hide.
Old Lady Liu's hometown is in the mountains dozens of kilometers north of the city. She and Old Man Liu met through a blind date. Before the blind date, Old Lady Liu had already taken a liking to Zhao Qiang from the village.
Zhao Qiang's family was poor, and he had a mentally challenged sister. Liu's mother was looking for a better life, and later someone introduced her to Liu's father. Liu's father's parents were also farmers in the countryside, but they lived close to the city!
Comparing the two, she would definitely choose Old Man Liu. Besides, Old Man Liu was an only child, so all the Liu family's rags would belong to him! Every little bit counts. In short, Old Man Liu wasn't stupid. She made a quick decision to marry Old Man Liu to prevent Zhao Qiang from causing trouble at her house. Old Man Liu also told everyone in the family not to mention her marriage.
Old Lady Liu married into the Liu family as quickly as possible. Later, they moved to the city. Old Lady Liu gave birth to Liu Qiangdao. When Liu Qiangdao was three years old, Old Lady Liu's father fell seriously ill, and she had to go home.
