Wu Xiaoya came from the kitchen and heard this.
She had expected this to happen.
Now I am more worried about whether Wu Liguo will look for the old couple.
"Uncle Li, are my grandpa and grandma okay?"
"Everything is fine. I told you to take care of yourself outside and not to worry about them."
Wu Xiaoya turned to Li Mingqing and said, "Uncle, I'm going out for a while and will be back in half an hour."
"Okay, go ahead."
She trotted to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some rice, and then went to the butcher shop to buy two pounds of pork.
After buying, go to the restaurant.
Li Mingqing didn't expect her to come back so soon. She had been out for less than half an hour.
"Grandpa Li, please bring it to my grandma when you go back."
"Okay, I'll take it back this afternoon."
Old Mrs. Li looked at her and felt happy for the old couple of the Wu family.
afternoon.
Li Mingqing sent Old Man Li to the intersection to catch a bus.
I happened to meet a few educated youth from the village who were returning from the county town.
With a book in hand, he even made the most of the time waiting for the bus.
It seems that several people attach great importance to this college entrance examination.
This is a rare opportunity to return to the city, so you must seize it. Otherwise, after doing farm work for so many years, you won’t know what to do even if you return to the city.
Wu Shengli greeted him briefly and then said nothing more.
Zhou Jingli was there too.
He didn't say anything but he looked like he was full of filth.
Silence is better than words.
Li Mingqing glanced at him and ignored him, then turned to Old Man Li and said, "Dad, go back and eat the meat buns and stir-fried vegetables in the basket quickly. They won't be good if they're left out for too long."
"Go back quickly."
Old man Li was really afraid that if he didn't leave, Zhou Jingli would say something that would get him beaten.
Zhou Jingli whispered, "Why are you pretending?"
Wu Shengli and Old Man Li said, "We haven't been to the restaurant opened by Ming and Qing yet, but I heard that business is pretty good."
"It's okay."
"Next time you come to the county town, let's have a meal at the restaurant."
Zhou Jing stood aside without saying a word, thinking about how to make things difficult for Li Mingqing.
After much thought, I decided to make a breakthrough with Wu Xiaoya.
——
Two days later at noon.
Li Mingqing was settling accounts in the store when he saw Wu Liguo and Zhou Xiaoshuang come in.
Wu Xiaoya is wiping the table.
Zhou Xiaoshuang ran over, took her hand and said, "My daughter, you have suffered so much here. Your parents are sorry for you."
"Why are you here? You should leave if you are busy working."
"Xiao Ya, go and take a rest. Mom will do the work."
Wu Xiaoya frowned and pulled away the hand that Zhou Xiaoshuang was holding.
He didn't say anything else but went to the kitchen with a rag.
Wu Liguo said: "Mingqing, we are here to talk to Xiaoya about something, go and call Xiaoya over."
"It's none of my business."
Li Mingqing refused without any hesitation.
"Aren't you the boss? How come you can't take care of it?"
"What a joke! I'm her boss, not her father. Even if you were her father, I wouldn't have ever seen you care about her. Now that you've grown up, you're acting like a loving father."
Listening to Li Mingqing's sarcasm, he argued: "Xiao Shuang and I have our own difficulties, you——"
"Don't tell me it was Xiaoshuang who was abused."
"Do you have to be so harsh? How can you call it abuse? All the children in the village grew up like this, and they didn't starve to death."
Zhou Xiaoshuang added, "Yeah, this kid is narrow-minded. He looks at me like an enemy."
"Haha, you two have thicker skins than the Great Wall."
My son Wu Erbao was in so much pain that it felt like his eyeballs were being torn apart.
If it weren't for seeing Wu Xiaoya making money here, he would never have come to recognize his daughter.
Kitchen.
Zhang Chuner saw that Wu Xiaoya looked unwell and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Do you have a cold?"
"No, my parents are here."
Zhang Chun'er whispered, "How could they do this? This is too much. Are they here to ask you for money?"
"Probably."
"Just say you don't have any. We have the money in the bank anyway."
When the first month's salary was paid, Li Mingqing reminded them to deposit the money in the bank in case it was lost.
From now on, they will save money every month when they receive their salary.
"I'm afraid of causing trouble for Uncle Li. What if he doesn't let me work here anymore?"
Wu Xiaoya ran out in a hurry.
Zhou Xiaoshuang saw her come out with a smile on his face.
Although she was smiling, Wu Xiaoya still felt that the smile on her face was scary.
She took a few deep breaths and said, "Let's talk outside."
Wu Liguo and Zhou Xiaoshuang looked at each other and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
What Zhou Zhiqing said was indeed correct.
It is much more effective to come in person than to go directly to Li Mingqing.
I have to take all the money out of the little girl's hands during this trip today.
"Xiao Ya, you've been working here for so long, how much money did Mr. Li give you?"
"Not much, I just come here to make a living."
"We are not outsiders, tell the truth."
“No money.”
Zhou Xiaoshuang raised his hand and wanted to slap her, but when he came to his senses, he immediately put his hand down and rubbed his hands awkwardly.
Zhou Liguo said: "Your grandma is sick and we have no money."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoya became anxious.
"Sick? What's wrong? How is grandma now?"
"I know you are filial to your grandma. She is waiting for your money to save her life."
Wu Xiaoya anxiously searched her trouser pockets, but found only a few dollars. Without saying a word, she went upstairs to get her passbook.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the voice of Old Lady Wu.
"Little girl!"
She cried, "Grandma, are you okay?"
"It's okay, silly child, why are you crying?"
"They said you were sick and had no money to see a doctor, which made me very anxious."
Only after Wu Xiaoya finished speaking did she realize that she had been cheated.
