When Wu Yuanyuan arrived at the restaurant, the atmosphere inside was very strange.
Sister Ma comforted Zhu Zhizhi, who was sobbing softly, while her best friend was dozing off behind the counter.
Normally, this scene would have been quite ordinary, but Wu Yuanyuan, who has a keen eye, pointed out that she seemed to see a hint of fear in Zhu Zhizhi's gaze as she looked at her best friend.
Having experienced countless battles, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. After parking her bicycle, she quietly approached her best friend and asked, "Ling, what's wrong?"
"Nothing happened!" Bling said without even opening her eyes.
Wu Yuanyuan noticed that Sister Ma and Zhu Zhizhi were watching them out of the corner of their eyes, and their expressions didn't seem like anything had happened.
She poked Bling: "Are you really okay?"
Annoyed by her to no end, Bling simply turned her head away, showing the back of her head to her: "I don't know!"
Okay~
Wu Yuanyuan shut up and decided to ask again when no one was around!
She poured herself a glass of hot water, sat down, and, imitating Bling, pretended to doze off by lying on the table.
It's not that she's clever; it's just that all mothers are like this—they can't help it, they don't get enough sleep.
Just as she was feeling dazed, she felt someone pat her on the shoulder. Wu Yuanyuan reflexively straightened up: "Sister Ma?"
Sister Ma pointed to the backyard, indicating that she should go there to talk.
Hearing the howling wind outside, Wu Yuanyuan really didn't want to go, but she still stood up and followed Sister Ma out of the house.
"Sister Ma, what's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?" she asked, trembling.
"Yuanyuan, when you're busy later, please keep an eye on Xiaozhu's mood, okay?" Sister Ma put her hands in her sleeves and stamped her foot.
Wu Yuanyuan was completely bewildered: "What's wrong with her now?"
Sister Ma sighed deeply: "It's all because of Xiao Zhu's mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, they're bullying her again!"
Wu Yuanyuan's face was full of impatience. "I'm not trying to be mean to Sister Ma, but we're just colleagues. It's only right that I help her when she's in trouble, but she can't keep doing this every now and then!"
“She’s not my mother, and besides, I’ve never been this careful with my own mother.”
She was still not satisfied after saying that: "Besides, what does it have to do with us if she suffers at her in-laws' house? Why should I give in to her?"
She really couldn't take it anymore. It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but Zhu Zhizhi had to do this every two days.
She came to the restaurant to cry after being mistreated at her in-laws' house. "Isn't this because they see we're soft-hearted?" Wu Yuanyuan muttered.
Sister Ma was well aware of this principle. "Alright, alright, stop complaining. I'll talk to her again later. If you find her annoying, just ignore her when you're working."
She was also quite helpless, but wasn't she the oldest among the women at the restaurant? She just wanted to see everyone getting along well, like before.
"I understand," Wu Yuanyuan said abruptly. "Try to give in to her."
Sister Ma couldn't help but smile, but before she could say anything, Wu Yuanyuan said, "Can I go back now? It's too cold outside."
"Go on, go on, it's almost time."
Wu Yuanyuan stomped her foot, turned around, and went back into the house.
While preparing the food in the morning, Zhu Zhizhi indeed had a miserable face and would occasionally sob. If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would really think that the people in the restaurant were ganging up on her.
Seeing her like this, Wu Yuanyuan was really annoyed. "Zhizhi, I'll serve the dishes today. You can help Chef Lü in the kitchen."
Zhu Zhizhi looked up at Wu Yuanyuan, but when she met Wu Yuanyuan's fake smile, she quickly lowered her head and weakly hummed in agreement.
Wu Yuanyuan didn't care what she was thinking. What she was mainly thinking was how disgusted Bu Ling would be if she saw her looking like a wronged girl.
Indeed, when the food was being served at noon, Bu Ling saw that it was Wu Yuanyuan, but without even asking her anything, she just smiled at Wu Yuanyuan.
During lunch:
"Sister Yuanyuan, shall we go to the supply and marketing cooperative this afternoon? We can buy some things for the New Year."
“Sure, Sister Mo said her supply and marketing cooperative got some frozen persimmons. Let’s go buy some and keep them for the New Year,” Wu Yuanyuan responded enthusiastically.
Ms. Ma became interested upon hearing this: "How much per pound?"
"One cent per pound, cheap! But the quantity is small, and I don't know if they'll still have any left if we go now." Wu Yuanyuan had already found out.
"Let's go take a look!" Bling was quite laid-back.
The main reason is that Uncle Sang just sent a lot of money recently, and her family doesn't need it.
"become."
After the three women finished speaking, they looked at Manager Zhu.
"Manager, we'd like to ask for leave this afternoon."
Manager Zhu: "Go ahead."
"Thank you, manager," the three said in unison.
As Zhu Zhizhi ate her meal silently with her head down, she felt a pang of sadness when no one greeted her.
Over there, Sister Ma seemed to suddenly remember her: "Zhizhi, why don't you come with us too?"
Zhu Zhizhi looked up, flattered. "Okay," she murmured softly.
Bu Ling and Wu Yuanyuan exchanged a glance but didn't object. Let them come if they want. The supply and marketing cooperative isn't theirs to run, so why can't they let people go?
In the afternoon, I visited the supply and marketing cooperative, but I didn't buy anything.
"Ling, did you not bring any money?" Wu Yuanyuan asked, worried that she was short of cash.
Fully armed, Bu Ling huddled behind Wu Yuanyuan to shield her from the wind: "No, I don't lack anything. My aunt has taken care of everything."
"That's wonderful!" Wu Yuanyuan said in a muffled voice, "Your aunt is even better than my own mother-in-law."
“I think so too,” Bling agreed wholeheartedly.
