Chapter 13 Break Your Hand
Thanks to Gu Qingshi’s dishes, the restaurant business improved a lot. Gu Qingshi was busy until nine o’clock before he gave the money to Lao Liang and returned to Duan’s house.
Bai Zhen quickly opened the door and frowned at Gu Qingshi, "I heard you were washing dishes in a restaurant?"
Duan Renjie's neighbors and friends came back and started cursing, making everyone know that Gu Qingshi was washing dishes in the restaurant.
Washing dishes in a restaurant is not a decent job. Duan Gang became furious when he heard this and suspected that Gu Qingshi did it on purpose.
After hearing his lecture, Bai Zhen couldn't wait to come and question him.
Gu Qingshi was too lazy to answer, Bai Zhen followed her, "Why don't you do something else? Go wash the dishes, aren't you ashamed?"
"I earn my living with my own hands. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
Bai Zhen knew clearly that she didn't have a penny on her, but he didn't care whether she would starve to death or not. Now that he knew she was washing dishes, his first reaction was to despise her and think she was embarrassing. It was really ridiculous.
"How did you become like this, Gu Qingshi? You are disappointing me more and more."
Bai Zhen was furious. "If you want to make a living by washing dishes, why did you insist on studying? You can get a stable job by being admitted to a medical school, but you go to wash dishes. If your classmates and colleagues find out, I don't think you have the face to do it."
"Don't you know why I wash the dishes? Of course I choose to wash the dishes over the alternative of starving to death. I was forced to do it by you. How dare you question me now?"
"Besides, there's nothing shameful about washing dishes. I don't rob or steal. I earn my living with my own hands. It's better than kneeling down and asking for money."
Bai Zhen choked, but she took out a dollar from her bag and said, "I'll give you money. If you quit your job as a dishwasher tomorrow, come back and apologize to Lingling, and let her get married."
Gu Qingshi didn't even look at the one dollar Bai Zhen gave him. "It's too late to give me your money. I would have starved to death after so many days of hunger. Just treat it as if your daughter had starved to death. Don't worry about me in the future. I won't resign."
"Why are you so disobedient!"
"If I had been obedient, I would have starved to death long ago."
Bai Zhen choked, "There's no hope, Gu Qingshi, if you meet me next time, don't tell me you know me!"
"That's exactly what I want." Gu Qingshi closed the door and locked Bai Zhen outside.
Gu Qingshi closed the door, entered the space to harvest the vegetables, and then planted new ones.
The next day, Gu Qingshi got up before dawn, borrowed a fishing net from his grandmother, caught some tiny fish that no one wanted, and put them into the lake in the space.
She uses water from the lake to irrigate the vegetables. Since there is no problem with the lake water, she will try to see if she can raise fish.
After putting them in and observing them, the fish seemed to be very happy and did not feel uncomfortable.
Fang Wen didn't come to the restaurant for the next two days. Gu Qingshi thought about what happened last time he went to the hospital and felt that he probably wouldn't come again.
The restaurant business was getting better and better, but Gu Qingshi became a little impatient.
Lao Liang's nephew came over, wearing bell-bottom pants and sunglasses. He asked for food and drinks, and pointed and talked like an old man.
Seeing that Gu Qingshi was pretty, he always talked to her, "Gu Qingshi, tea, and some melon seeds."
"Gu Qingshi, why don't you speak? Can't you hear me talking to you?"
Gu Qingshi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He threatened her implicitly in his words. If she wanted to continue working in the restaurant, she had to please him and serve him, otherwise she would be finished.
Judging from his skilled appearance, it was obvious that he had threatened people many times. Gu Qingshi directly conveyed his words to Lao Liang.
It was a busy time, and Lao Liang was busy cooking. He didn't even have time to wipe his sweat. When he heard his nephew making a mess, he spoke directly.
"Don't make trouble. Can't you see I'm busy?"
When the nephew heard the scolding, his face froze for a moment, "I know uncle, I just want to help."
He stopped making trouble and waited until most of the customers had finished their meal and started to pay their bills frequently, then he walked to the cashier.
"Do you need my help? Can you count so many?" His eyes flickered and he stretched out his hand.
"No need, I can figure it out." Gu Qingshi stepped aside.
The nephew saw Lao Liang coming out of the kitchen and deliberately asked, "Have you ever been to junior high school? I graduated from junior high school."
He is an intellectual in the family and used to help collect bills.
Gu Qingshi didn't even raise his head, "I graduated from a medical school."
The nephew couldn't believe it, "What? Medical school?"
After hearing this, Lao Liang laughed and said, "You didn't expect it, Xiao Gu is very capable, she is very good at calculating, you don't have to worry about it."
The nephew also laughed, "You must be kidding, right?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Lao Liang scolded with a smile.
After hearing this, some guests couldn't help but exclaim, "Graduating from a medical school, so amazing."
"No wonder the accounts were settled so quickly."
During this period, both college students and technical secondary school graduates were assigned jobs, but technical secondary school graduates were more favored.
Because most people are born in poverty and it is difficult to afford the tuition fees of a few dollars, technical secondary schools that can provide a "iron rice bowl" after three years of study are the most cost-effective academic qualifications at this time and are the most sought after.
Compared with university and technical secondary school, going to university requires high investment and high risk, which is something many people dare not even think about. It is not cost-effective to study for more than three years with such a low chance of passing the exam.
Of course, this does not mean that it is easy to get into a technical secondary school. On the contrary, it is even more difficult. It is really like a huge crowd trying to cross a single-plank bridge. Many people repeat a year or two just to get into a technical secondary school, and the admission rate is extremely low.
In everyone's eyes, those who can be admitted to a normal medical school are people who have the ability to get a stable job and completely change their destiny.
Such a person is a treasure no matter where he is, but Gu Qingshi actually came out to wash dishes?
The nephew narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you both graduated from medical school, why are you washing dishes? Did you do something wrong and not get assigned a job?"
There was no point in not assigning work, and there was malice in his curious tone.
Gu Qingshi glanced at him and said, "Yes, it was assigned. The result will be out soon." In his previous life, he was directly assigned to the county hospital.
My nephew's face darkened when he heard everyone's praises, but soon he smiled again as if he had thought of something.
"I didn't know you were so powerful, Qingshi. I was blind."
The nephew came up to Gu Qingshi and said, "Are you tired? You're going to get an injection on this hand, don't get tired. I'll collect these bowls, you take a rest."
Old Liang looked at him with a smile, thinking that his nephew did a good job. Gu Qingshi went to keep accounts and count money.
The nephew came closer while Lao Liang was away, and his hand touched her arm intentionally or unintentionally, and then he put his hand on hers inadvertently.
"I haven't met a nurse yet. Can I come to your hospital to see you later?"
Gu Qingshi looked at his hand that was about to reach out and interrupted him, "Don't you want your hand anymore?"
Gu Qingshi knew exactly what he was thinking. He just wanted to see that she would have a bright future, so he wanted to coax her and take advantage of her.
If he could eat her up completely, she would be his. This made her think of the three men in her previous life.
Gu Qingshi's eyes were full of ruthlessness. His nephew paused for a moment and pretended not to understand, "What?"
"You know what I mean. If you don't want me to break your hand, take it back."
