Chapter 112: The Inhumane Qi Man
"What are your plans next?"
Wang Hui paused while eating wontons, gave a bitter smile, and replied, "I have a job in the county town, working as a dishwasher in a restaurant. I earn 18 yuan a month, which is more than enough to support myself."
After her household registration was moved out, except for the new clothes bought by her cousin, there was nothing in the original house that belonged to her. She was left with nothing.
You can’t even go to your grandmother’s place.
My grandmother’s preference for boys over girls is even more terrible than her parents’, and she has disliked me since I was a child.
When she was a child, her mother took her to visit her grandmother's house. Her grandmother didn't like her and found an excuse to poke her hard with a sharp and soft needle. The back of her hand was rubbed until it was torn and covered in blood, and she cried loudly.
Ever since I went back that day, I have been traumatized by my grandmother's house and have never been to Qingyun Village again.
Even if her grandmother called her a heartless ungrateful person behind her back, she would choose to turn a blind eye. After all, a few scoldings wouldn't hurt her, and she couldn't confront her openly, as she would be isolated and helpless and would only suffer.
Qi Man's eyes fell on Wang Hui's hands. Unlike those in her twenties, which were slender and white, they were dark and rough, with many wounds and calluses.
Because of years of soaking, my hands became very swollen and ugly.
Qi Man stammered and said:
"Quit your job and come back to Qingyun Village with me."
How can a girl in her twenties do the job of washing dishes all year round?
Anyway, there are four mouths to feed in the family. It doesn't matter whether I raise one or five. With San San around, it is more than enough to protect them for the rest of their lives.
"No!"
Wang Hui took a bite of a wonton and put it into her mouth. Without thinking, she subconsciously rejected Qi Man's help and swallowed the hot wonton. Her tongue was burned and could not be straightened, so she spoke with a curled tongue.
"Cousin, you've helped me enough, why would I bother you again! I have hands and feet, I can earn money to support myself, I won't be a dishwasher all my life, I still want to go to a big city to fight for my life, maybe I'll get lucky and make a fortune!"
After saying this, he raised a simple smile.
For the past ten years, her mother has been her main concern. Now that her mother has abandoned her, she also wants to live a happy life for herself.
Without the constraints of family, I can be more bold in doing what I want.
Qi Man blinked, lowered her eyes to look at the empty bowl, and shouted to the stall owner.
"Boss, give me two more bowls of wontons, and make them a little spicier, thank you!"
"Okay!"
The little hand fumbled in the bag, took out a little big unity, and pushed it in front of Wang Hui.
Wang Hui was flattered when she saw such a large stack of money in front of her. She stood up anxiously and said incoherently:
“I…I don’t want it!”
Knowing that my cousin was a big spender, she took out such a large stack of money without even blinking an eye.
To be honest, she had never seen so much money in her life. Everyone was so united and she was jealous.
Wang Hui couldn't help but choke up and tried to look away from the big unity, but her eyes were out of control and glued to it. Anyone who sees such a huge stack of banknotes would be unable to take their eyes away.
But she knew that the money did not belong to her.
Only the money you earn through your own hard work can be spent with peace of mind.
Thinking about it, he moved his eyes away with difficulty and pushed the money back.
"Cousin, I can't take your money for nothing. My salary for last month will be paid tomorrow, so I'm not short of money."
The stall owner brought two bowls of wontons and placed them in the middle of the table. When he saw such a large stack of wontons on the table, he was immediately shocked.
Ouch! That’s a lot of money.
Looking at him, I couldn't help but say something more.
"Ladies, the county town is in chaos at night. You two are pretty girls, weak and powerless, so you'd better not take out these dazzling things, so as to avoid causing trouble."
The stall owner was an elderly man wearing a white bib, with grey hair and a white beard. He had a kind face and a look of earnest advice, which made Qi Man think of her nagging grandfather. She silently moved a bowl of wontons towards herself and grinned.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'm not afraid even if trouble comes to me."
Even if you have the courage to come, you may not live to return.
The stall owner originally wanted to say something, but when he met Qi Man's clear eyes, he sighed softly and had to hold the words back.
There was no way, as a stranger, she could only give appropriate reminders.
If something really happened around here, he would not be afraid to sacrifice his old bones to teach the two little girls a lesson.
He didn't say anything in the end. He turned back to the stove and started washing the dishes.
Qi Man took a bite of the wonton with thin skin and pushed the money in front of Wang Hui with her other hand, and spoke vaguely.
"Consider this money as a loan from me. Don't you want to go to the capital to make a living? How can you make it without some money? When you make a lot of money, pay me back double. It won't be in vain. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll starve to death before you even get to the capital."
Looking at the thick stack of certificates of unity and listening to Qi Man's words, Wang Hui was so moved that her eyes filled with tears and her voice was involuntarily choked with sobs.
"Cousin, with so much money, aren't you afraid that I will lose it? I'm just talking. By the time I lose everything, I won't even have the money left. I'll find an easier job and it won't be a problem to support myself. Just keep this money."
Qi Man frowned and spoke in a dissatisfied tone.
"It's a loss, so what? At worst, I can make a comeback. If you don't want to take the money, I'll just throw it away. It won't be of much use anyway."
As he said this, he took the money and was about to throw it out.
Seeing this, Wang Hui hurried forward to stop him, speaking in a hurried tone.
"Hey! Cousin, I'll take it, can't I take it?"
He snatched the money, held it in his arms like a treasure, and even touched it carefully.
You really think that money comes from the wind and you can just say no to it.
Seeing that the money had been collected, Qi Man smiled and happily ate the wontons in the bowl.
fragrant!
Seeing her cousin enjoying her meal, Wang Hui was already moved to tears. She knew her cousin did this to make her compromise.
My cousin is so stupid!
The two had never met each other since they were born, and only met today. As a result, not only did he help her and her mother leave that home, he also helped her solve most of her troubles and even stuffed a large sum of money into her arms without even blinking.
To put it bluntly, the two people were just strangers with no relationship with each other. How could a stranger just take out a stack of money and give it to someone else?
I’m afraid there’s no one in this world as dumb as my cousin.
Tears welled up in her eyes and she took a deep breath. Just as Wang Hui was being sentimental, Qi Man, who was eating wontons, suddenly spoiled the mood and spoke:
"If you don't come to eat, I'll eat the other bowl too!"
