Chapter 132 Changes (1,000 new words)
Xiuzhu was so happy today that she almost flew away. She received her first salary in her life, 500 Hong Kong dollars.
With this huge sum of money, she originally planned to apply for a Hong Kong ID card, but then she changed her mind and realized that she wanted to apply for an ID card before in order to find a lucrative job. Now that she has already made money, there is really no need to waste the 50 Hong Kong dollars.
She invited Zhou Cuihua and Yangyang to a western restaurant for a meal. After the meal, she wanted Zhou Cuihua to give her some advice on how to find out about the inland matter next.
It has to be safer and more reliable. We can't let her swim in the sea like last time, and we can't rely on luck to be rescued every time.
It was Zhou Cuihua’s first time eating Western food. She struggled with the steak in front of her with the knife and fork for a while, but finally lost her patience and simply stabbed the meat directly, picked it up and bit it.
The taste is really good, but it's expensive. It's expensive and there's not much of it. This little thing costs almost half a month's salary.
Seeing that she was eating seriously, Xiuzhu didn't disturb her and thought it wouldn't be too late to talk to her after she finished eating.
"Sister Cuihua, this one is for you too. I have already cut it." Yangyang put the cut steak in front of Cuihua.
He used to eat Western food at home often and was used to using a knife and fork. Although he also craved steak, it was Cuihua's first time eating it and she had a big appetite, so he wanted to make sure she was full.
Zhou Cuihua happily took the plate, symbolically poured out two pieces of meat, and handed it back to him, "Thank you, Yangyang. Sister, try your steak and see if it tastes better. Eat the rest quickly, otherwise how are you going to raise me when I grow up?"
When Yangyang heard what his elder sister Cuihua said, he stopped refusing and picked up the knife and fork and started eating politely.
His biggest wish now is to grow up quickly and make money to take care of Sister Cuihua.
Xiuzhu watched with envy, thinking that Cuihua's eldest son was really great. Actually, he couldn't be called a son in terms of age. Zhou Cuihua was two years older than her and was only 19 today. Yangyang was six years older than her, so they were only 13 years apart in age.
"Order another portion. You must not be full." The essence of the reason for giving way to each other is that there is not enough food. It is the first time for the three of them to go out to eat, so they must be full.
During this period, the three of them didn't have a penny. They were so poor that they didn't even have money to take the bus.
He simply spent all his free time teaching Yangyang French and never even stepped out of the Liang family's door.
Today was the first time that the three of them went out shopping together to experience the prosperity of Hong Kong. She couldn't help but sigh, how good it is to be rich!
"What are you ordering? You're crazy. If you want me to eat enough here, you'll have to pay half of my salary. You can just go out and buy a bowl of noodles from the stall later. This western food is only worth eating once and it's not cost-effective." Zhou Cuihua looked at the dishes on the table and complained with disdain.
Xiuzhu didn't try to persuade her anymore. She couldn't afford to spend half of her salary as she still had to go back to the inland!
Finally, the three of them ordered three bowls of noodles at the noodle stall, spending a total of 5 Hong Kong dollars, and they all ate their fill.
"No, my stomach is so full from eating so much." Xiuzhu covered her stomach, regretting and fearing the waste, and drank up all the noodle soup in the bowl like Zhou Cuihua.
In the past, she was very picky about food and would never drink noodle soup. But after coming to Hong Kong, she has grown a lot and knows how to do things within her capabilities.
She doesn't have the capital to be pretentious now. No one will pamper her here, so she has to learn from Zhou Cuihua, learn to change, and adapt to the current difficult environment.
Although it was difficult at the beginning, she was able to adapt and accept it slowly over the past month.
Xiuzhu thought that if her parents and Gu Yu saw her changes, they would definitely be proud of her. She is no longer the spoiled Lin Xiuzhu who would only cry when something happens.
Now, even in an unfamiliar environment, she will try her best to take care of herself and live every day to the fullest.
"Lin Xiuzhu, you still need to keep working hard. This is only half of what I eat, and you're already so full that you're almost dying." Zhou Cuihua said with a look of disgust.
She had eaten two large bowls of noodles, but Lin Xiuzhu ordered a small bowl and gave a few bites to Yangyang. Is she already full?
Xiuzhu felt inferior to her. No wonder Cuihua was so strong. She really could eat a lot!
"Ah, I only have this much appetite. Oh, by the way, can you give me some ideas on how to get back to the inland area?"
She originally wanted to look for her aunt, and even asked Mr. Liang for help, asking if there was anyone named Ye Yunjuan, but apart from her aunt's name, she didn't know anything else.
It's not easy to find someone based on their name alone. Anyway, there is no news so far.
Xiuzhu didn't want to just wait and wanted to find other ways to return to the inland.
"I tried to get Tao Jie and the others to tell me that if there are any problems that cannot be solved, I can ask the gang to solve them. They have many tricks up their sleeves."
"But that place is full of all kinds of people. I'll go there with the concierge brother Asheng this afternoon. You have a pretty face that attracts people, so don't follow us!"
After more than a month of relying on each other, Zhou Cuihua had already taken care of Xiuzhu as her own sister, so she naturally would not feel at ease letting her go out.
Xiuzhu was very touched that Cuihua cared about her, but she was also worried about Cuihua.
Zhou Cuihua looked at the frowning brows of the beauty opposite her and couldn't help but sigh, a beauty is a beauty, even when she frowns she is so beautiful.
If only she were a man, she would take everything from Lin Xiuzhu by force, regardless of whether she was willing or not.
Seeing the beauty's worry, she couldn't help but soften her voice, "Don't worry, baby, I'll pretend, it'll be okay, ok, it's settled." Zhou Cuihua said in a strong tone.
She has recently learned a lot of simple English words, and a few words always pop up when she speaks.
Xiuzhu and Yangyang are used to this.
Moreover, with the help of Xiuzhu, Zhou Cuihua can often show up in front of the Third Miss, and now she has successfully transformed from a low-level coolie servant to a helper in the main courtyard.
Not only did my salary increase by 20 Hong Kong dollars, but the work content was also much easier than before.
Her daily life made her more and more comfortable and at ease.
～～～～
In the Liang family's small study, Xiuzhu was sitting at the desk, drawing seriously. When she heard a knock on the door, she looked up and saw that it was Liang Jiarong. She thought he couldn't wait any longer, so she hurriedly said, "Mr. Liang, I'll be done soon. Please wait a moment."
She wanted to get a new job and teach the third young lady how to paint.
Yesterday, Zhou Cuihua helped to find out information that she could be hidden in the goods being transported from Hong Kong to the inland, but it would cost about 1,500 Hong Kong dollars to make use of various connections.
I spent 40 on dinner yesterday, and I couldn't resist buying some personal items, which cost me 50 Hong Kong dollars. Now I only have about 400 yuan left, which is still one third of the money!
"Xiuzhu, are you short of money recently?" Liang Jiarong was a little curious when he saw that she recommended herself again and wanted to teach her sister to paint. But he was interrupted by the phone call, so he asked her to draw a picture first for him to see.
"Haha, yes." Xiuzhu was a little embarrassed. Could it be so easy to see through?
But she didn't want to say too much to Mr. Liang. They were just an employer and an employee. During this month, she had heard a lot of gossip. The life of Hong Kong's wealthy families was too complicated, and she didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Liang Jiarong saw the girl's defensiveness, but he didn't take it too seriously. He said gently, "Put aside the painting. There is a dinner party tomorrow. You can be the French interpreter. How about 100 Hong Kong dollars a day?"
