The genius Meng Mengliang and his family set off. They thought that no one in the shanty town would wake up at this early hour. Who knew that as soon as they entered the fifth row, they saw many people standing near their house to watch the fun. Qin Huijun felt nervous.
I knew I couldn't hide it, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Huijun, did you go to the state-owned store this early in the morning?" an aunt who recognized them asked curiously.
Qin Huijun was confused, but still nodded.
"Is there anything new?" The aunt subconsciously asked this question, but she didn't actually care. She said enthusiastically without waiting for Qin Huijun's answer, "Then you have missed a good show!"
"What's the show?"
The aunt pursed her lips and said, "Well, Li Hong, the person next door to you, had a quarrel with her eldest daughter over the awakening potion."
"Well, it stands to reason that it is a good thing that the government has opened night classes for us and invited teachers to teach. It is even better that the price of awakening potions has been reduced by more than half. It is a pity that such a good thing is also a double-edged sword. Otherwise, something will happen!"
"Thankfully, Li Hong still shows how much she loves her two daughters. If there is something delicious, she will divide it into three parts. Children are equal and impartial. But when it comes to the real crisis, she will still be partial. How hypocritical!" Another one! The aunt came over with a contemptuous tone.
Qin Huijun frowned. Qin Wan also didn't like the aunt's tone of voice. As far as she knew, their family's preference for boys over girls was only slightly better than that of Aunt Wang's family.
"Mom, I have to go to work later, let's go make breakfast quickly."
Qin Huijun nodded, and the two of them squeezed in while giving way.
"Mom, I always thought that you weren't as patriarchal as Aunt Wang. You treat me, my sister, and my brother all the same. But now that I have the opportunity to become a wood spiritist, you push back. You are You want to drag it until you have no share, right? I worked for you when I was a little kid, and when I found a job, I gave more than half of my salary to my family."
"He, Li Fengshou, was almost brought up by my sister, why should he take away my opportunity?"
This was the first time Qin Wan heard Li Maisui's sharp voice with a cry and strong resentment, and he couldn't help but be startled.
At this time, they had squeezed into the center of the crowd.
Li Maisui's eyes were red and her face was stained with tears. Wang Qiu'er next to her held her arm and tried to dissuade her. Aunt Li had a dark face and an embarrassed expression. Li Fengshou also pulled his mother, lowering her head and whispered in embarrassment. The uncle stood in the middle, at a loss, "That's not it. Your mother has all the money in the bank, and it's hard to take it out before the time comes..."
However, Li Maisui couldn't listen anymore, "Just that little interest, is it important to my future?"
"You damn girl, you can't wait even a moment. I told you that three days later, three days later, you don't even have this trust. Ever since you were a child, have you ever failed to do anything I promised you? Your wood element With such a low affinity, there is no telling whether the awakening can be successful or not. This failure cost eighty-eight dollars. Eighty-eight, how long will your father and I have to live frugally..."
"You're talking nonsense. I heard you and Dad discussing giving this opportunity to Li Fengshou, because his wood affinity is two points higher than mine! Just two points higher. If I can't awaken, he won't be able to awaken either!"
Li Maisui was really angry. He stopped calling his brother and just called his name.
"I really doubt whether I am your biological child. You sent me to work as a farmer early to do heavy work. He, Li Fengshou, is only five years younger than me but he is freeloading at home..."
"Am I not good enough to you?" Aunt Li was almost furious. "If I were not good to you and favored boys over girls, and you were already twenty, I should have found you a husband with high betrothal gifts. Get married to support the family!"
"Okay, you have said what you are thinking! You just favor boys over girls. If you don't favor boys over girls, why are you competing with Aunt Wang? You should be competing with Aunt Qin. Look at Aunt Qin. How to treat her daughter..."
Aunt Wang, who was watching the good show and not forgetting to make love, immediately jumped to her feet, "Damn girl, what do you want me to do?"
Qin Huijun and Qin Wan looked at each other helplessly, never expecting that the fire could burn their heads.
"Wanwan, it's getting late, you should go to work now." Qin Huijun handed Qin Wan two dollars and said, "Buy some food on the way."
Before, Qin Wan spent one hundred yuan to buy the awakening potion, and the remaining twelve yuan was given to Qin Huijun for household use.
Qin Wan took the money and whispered, "Mom, I'm too dirty now. I need to take a shower."
"There's water on the stove."
When she left yesterday, she specially took down the sweet potato porridge cooking on the stove and replaced it with a tin bucket filled with water.
Thinking that she only opened the valve to the minimum and did not change the briquettes, Qin Huijun was a little nervous and said, "Quickly go into the tent and take a look."
Qin Wan walked in and put down the tin bucket. Looking at the little light left on the briquettes, she quickly replaced it with a new one. She opened the lid of the tin bucket and tested the temperature. It was OK. She stood in the footbath and quickly took off her clothes and took a shower. Take a shower and put on clean clothes before I feel more comfortable.
After rubbing the dirty clothes clean, Qin Wan took her backpack, thought about it, and stuffed a book of information into it.
Walking out of the tent, Aunt Li and Li Maisui were facing each other coldly. They were obviously mother and daughter. But now they looked at each other like enemies. They were stubborn towards each other and neither of them wanted to bow their heads.
Qin Huijun was persuading her. Wang Qiuer looked anxious. Qin Wan thought that she also had to go to work, so she walked over and said, "Sister Maisui, you have been busy at the farm. This time you go home to rest, why not go to the city center for a walk?" ? The streets are very lively now. And since it’s getting late, let’s send Sister Qiuer to work. I went there once before, and her boss was very cruel."
Li Maisui vented the anger in her heart regardless. At this moment, she felt disappointed with her mother, and also felt guilty and regretful.
A kind word warms you for three winters, but a bad word hurts you for six months.
Didn't she know that what she said angrily before was a little too much? Her mother may be a little partial, but it's not as serious as she said. It's just that she heard her parents' exchange last night, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She couldn't remember the good things about her mother, and all she thought about was that she favored her younger brother.
The old scores are being ruminated more and more, and it is difficult to get back on the stage.
Now that Qin Wan was persuading her, she couldn't help but glance at Wang Qiu'er, thinking that her situation was much more difficult than hers, so she whispered, "Qiu'er, I'm sorry, I'll take you to work."
After Qin Wan and the others disappeared, Qin Huijun persuaded them into the tent. Only then did the stubborn Aunt Li shed tears, "Debt collector, what a debt collector. Huijun, listen to what she said... …”
Aunt Wang, who had seen enough of the excitement, was quite proud. When she returned to the tent, she was still muttering to her man and laughing at Aunt Li. Until her son also walked in and suddenly said,
"Mom, please tell the second sister. She should have given you the money when she came back yesterday. Let's go to the government building now! I see that the Qin family didn't come back last night. Maybe they went to buy the awakening potion. Even their family can afford it, and if it’s too late, all the potions will be sold out!”
"What?!"
＊
Entering the city, the three of them were silent all the way. Qin Wan didn't want to mention the Li family, for fear that Li Maisui would explode, so he asked Wang Qiu'er, "Sister Qiu'er, when will you go to work? Will you have a holiday?"
Before Wang Qiuer could answer, Li Maisui said coldly, "How can her boss Zhou Papi give them a holiday? Qiuer, did your mother send someone to tell you to advance your salary to buy awakening potions for your shameless brother?" "
He said this with deep resentment, and as soon as he heard it, he knew it was not just directed at Wang Qiuer's younger brother.
Wang Qiuer smiled bitterly and nodded gently.
"Are you stupid..." Li Maisui hated the iron, but his expression froze in the middle of the sentence, "I always thought you were stupid, but when you think about it, I'm about the same. My mother told me to save enough money and give it to me. Buy the awakening potion and buy me a dowry. Now it seems that all the money was collected and saved for Li Feng... If I had known this, I should have gotten married earlier."
"Qiu'er, please hurry up and get married. Once you get married, you can jump out of this fire pit!"
Qin Wan frowned.
Wang Qiuer looked very approving, "You're right, I want to get rid of my mother only by marrying someone with many brothers and a bad mother-in-law. I can withstand my mother's stalking. That's all." It’s not easy to find people. You see, my sister’s mother-in-law is also very powerful, but she still can’t control her and can only use money to eliminate the trouble.”
Qin Wan finally couldn't help it anymore and stopped her, "Marrying is not a good way out. If you marry in such a hurry, the possibility of marrying the right person is extremely small. Aren't you afraid of stepping out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den again?"
The faces of Wang Qiuer and Li Maisui froze with joy.
Qin Wan didn't say empty words about how to become stronger. He only said, "Sister Qiu'er, you have to have money. Only with money can you have confidence. If you have money, you won't panic wherever you go. I was also rich back then." Only then can I take the car all the way from the imperial capital back to Yunshan City and get rid of my father and my stepmother."
Li Maisui shook his head, "Wanwan, you don't know, Qiu'er can't hold the money in her hands."
"Her mother is very calculating. If Qiu'er doesn't give her mother her salary, her mother will go to the store to make trouble. Their boss is actually working with her mother, forcing Qiu'er to give money. She won't give it. , then the boss said that next month’s salary would be given directly to her mother, and he would also torture her, deny her food, and keep her busy until late at night without being able to rest.”
Qin Wan said, "Have you ever thought about leaving and finding another job?"
"It's more difficult to find a job again." Li Maisui said without confidence, "I also took advantage of the small number of people at the beginning. I just joined Xingsheng Farm when they were recruiting people. My brother is not old enough, and now there are more people. , I can’t find it even if I look for it.”
Qin Wan glanced at her, didn't she know clearly?
"It couldn't be any harder than it is now? I'm obviously exhausted, but I can't get a penny."
Li Maisui wanted to refute, but in an instant she realized that it was not Wang Qiuer who had taken the money before, but her parents.
Wang Qiuer whispered, "But if I look for other jobs, my mother will also make trouble."
Qin Wan said, "Yunshan City is too small, and the shops are all on the outside, so your mother can see it at a glance, but what if we go to a farm outside the city?"
"That's right!" Li Maisui clapped his hands and became excited, "The farms have gates and outsiders are not allowed to come in. You just need to find a farm that doesn't recognize you, then hide in it, and don't tell others about your family, your mother I can’t find you!”
"And I remember that your wood affinity is a little higher than mine. Before, it was just because your mother disliked the low wages of farmers. But if you go to the farm, no matter how low the money is, you can at least get it all."
Finally, Li Maisui said, "Let me ask our boss for you."
Qin Wan also decided to help Wang Qiuer ask his boss—Boss Zhao also runs a farm at home.
Thanks to Wang Qiuer's advice, she found a good job in a flower shop. Now she should help her find an opportunity.
