"Oh, sir, wait a minute, I need to talk to you about something," Ma Linghua hurriedly called out to him.
The man in charge stopped and said in a somewhat deep voice, "Just call me Brother Wang!"
Ma Linghua: "……………………"
I'm over seventy years old, isn't it a bit... a bit much for me to call you "brother" who's over forty?
"This...this isn't right!" Ma Linghua lowered her head and tugged at her lips.
"What's wrong with that? You're a woman, all alone with your daughter and granddaughter. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know." Wang Youcai looked at her lowered head; she must be moved!
Ma Linghua: "…………………………"
"Um, Brother Wang, I... I really have no other choice. I'd like to borrow some money from you. Do you think you can lend it to me? I'll pay you back as soon as I get my monthly salary."
Life forces me to call you brother, so be it! I'm not afraid he'll shorten my lifespan.
Wang Youcai touched his sleeve, pulled out a silver dollar, and handed it to her without even blinking.
"Take it and use it first! Pay me back when you have the money."
"Hey! Thank you, brother, Brother Wang. I will never forget your kindness." With that, she took the silver dollar and left.
Wang Youcai: "……………………"
Ma Meizi must have something urgent to do.
Thinking that he also needed to arrange for someone to serve breakfast to the grandmothers, he went to get busy.
Ma Linghua walked into the house with a beaming smile. Ma Lihua glanced at her and asked curiously, "Grandma, what's wrong? What's making you so happy?"
“Look.”
As she spoke, she showed her the silver dollar. Ma Lihua looked at it curiously, thought for a moment, took it, blew on it, and then put it to her ear to listen.
"bite……"
And believe it or not, there really was an echo.
Ma Linghua: "……………………"
The pear blossoms look a bit silly; could they be growing into lotus flowers instead?
"Stop playing around, come on, Grandma will take you out for breakfast. This money is enough for us to live on for a month," she said happily.
Ma Lihua glanced at the time; it was nine o'clock. She ruthlessly reminded her grandmother, "Grandma, it's time for you to go to work."
Ma Linghua: "……………………"
"Okay! Scan it before we eat?"
"That's fine too."
The two of them were fine, but then they felt a pang of guilt thinking that Ma Hehua hadn't eaten breakfast either.
brothel.
"Hey! Mom, eating? Perfect timing, I'm hungry too." As she spoke, she picked up a large meat bun and some pickled vegetables and started eating.
Mother Ye's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This woman who didn't know any manners...
"Bang!" In her excitement, Ma Hehua slammed her hand on the table, chipping it, which startled Ye's mother.
Good heavens! This is solid wood! She was unharmed by the blow, but the table was damaged. Was it really necessary to exaggerate like that?
She swallowed hard. "Aunt Ma! Is your hand alright?"
As Ma Hehua ate, she replied, "It's nothing. I didn't expect these buns to be so similar to the ones my dad makes. They're so delicious."
Oh! So she was thinking about her father who died many years ago! That startled her; I thought she was unhappy that the buns didn't have enough filling!
After finishing three large plates of steamed buns, taking a sip of tea that his mother had never tasted before, wiping his mouth, patting his bottom, he went straight upstairs to see the girl.
Mother Ye's lips twitched. Looking at the plate, which was so shiny it looked like it had been washed, she couldn't help but complain.
"Damn it, is it a starving ghost reincarnated?"
Ah Si happened to be having breakfast too. Looking at the bare plates, he couldn't help but ask a question.
"Godmother, doesn't this restaurant deliver breakfast?"
Mother Ye rubbed her own hungry stomach and said irritably, "It's here, give it all to Aunt Ma."
As he spoke, he took a sip of the tea that Ma Hehua had left behind, "Pfft... Oh my god! What's this taste like? Why is it so bitter?"
Ah Si patted her back affectionately and sighed, "Alright, I'll ask the waiter at the restaurant to bring you another serving. Don't let your godmother go hungry."
"That's all we can do. Your godmother will have to rely on you to take care of her in her old age!"
"Godmother, don't worry, I will definitely treat you like my own mother and take good care of you."
The two women were enacting a tender mother-son relationship in the downstairs room, while a drama unfolded above the ma hehua, involving four women.
"So, those who don't meet the standards have to work overtime? And those who do meet the standards have to start work at 7 pm?" Ma Hehua asked Chuntian.
Spring nodded. Her body was still aching, but she had to entertain customers, otherwise she wouldn't have anything to eat.
Life in a brothel is cruel; the rule of the game is that whoever is good at it gets to live a good life, wearing nice clothes, eating nice food, and using nice things.
When they entered the building, Mother Ye told each girl that these days, people laugh at poverty but not at prostitution. Since they had entered this brothel, they had to abide by the rules here, otherwise they would be the ones who suffered.
Looking at the girls, only Dong Tian looked arrogant, completely disregarding Ma Hehua.
With an arrogant air, looking at her bright red nail polish, she said in a high-pitched, coquettish voice, "Today, the fact that I'm here to pay my respects is already a favor to you. Are you teaching us to dance or putting on a monkey show?"
Ma Hehua glanced at her, but wasn't angry. "This is radio calisthenics, I'm teaching it to you so it can help you get stronger! What's wrong? Don't you want to learn?" Her eyes were very calm.
Autumn remained silent; she was pretty with clear, bright eyes.
Needless to say, in spring, after witnessing Ma Hehua's moves, she endured the pain and jumped up and down along with her.
Summer is observant; it seems to know something from how Spring acts, and it didn't resist either, did it?
