Chapter 53: The Gambler's Father

Yan Duo patted Zhou Mengmeng's shoulder, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Mengmeng's father Zhou Rong is a bad gambler, he has been gambling since Zhou Mengmeng was in junior high school, and he always loses gambling.

After losing the bet, Zhou Rong drank, and after getting drunk, he beat his wife and children.

In the past, Zhou Mengmeng didn't know how many times he had been beaten by his father, and he hid in the ground and secretly cried I don't know how many times.

After Zhou Mengmeng grew up, Zhou Rong became more unscrupulous, and now he is even more excessive, snatching away the money his wife has earned for so many years.

Yan Duo sighed, and didn't know how to comfort Zhou Mengmeng.

In the end, she didn't say anything, just hugged Zhou Mengmeng's shoulders and made her cry.

Zhou Mengmeng hugged Yan Duo and cried loudly, crying out all the sadness and grievances.

After 20 minutes, Zhou Mengmeng finally stopped crying.

She looked at Yan Duo embarrassedly, "Duoduo is sorry for letting you see the joke!"

Yan Duo said while helping her wipe her tears, "Why are we still so polite between us!"

Yan Duo comforted Zhou Mengmeng for a while, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Mengmeng, the reason why you returned to your hometown after graduation should be related to your father, right?"

Zhou Mengmeng smiled bitterly, "Yes, it has something to do with that bastard! I used to have a good job, and the company valued me a lot, but that bastard called me every day to ask me for money." I didn't give it, and he didn't know where to inquire about my company's phone number, and a phone call came to the company, and I scolded me on the phone for being an unfilial girl, and even Lao Tzu was unwilling to be filial. Naturally, the people in the company ignored him, thinking that he was a madman, but they didn't expect ......"

Zhou Mengmeng's tears flowed down again, "He's even more excessive! He called the company every day, scolded the leader and scolded me on the phone every day, and threatened that if he didn't transfer my salary to his account, he would go directly to the company to find my leader! Later, there was no way, the company's leader discussed with me and asked me to persuade that bastard." How can I persuade me? I have no choice but to resign on my own initiative!"

Yan Duo heard that the anger that had just subsided surged up again, and said angrily, "It's too much! You're his daughter, how can he be like this! Is he happy to see that you're not doing well? It's too much! It's too much!"

Zhou Mengmeng smiled bitterly again, "What can I do? Who made my life miserable for such a father?"

Yan Duo was very sympathetic to Zhou Mengmeng, but she also knew that comfort was the most useless nonsense, so she simply asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" Your father is a good gambler, and his gambling luck is not good, he will definitely ask you and your mother endlessly, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Zhou Mengmeng lowered her head and was silent, and after a while she raised it up, and said seriously, "I'm going to take my mother out of this place and to a place that the bastard doesn't know!

Yan Duo was very happy that his friend could think so, but, "What about your mother?"

Hearing this, Zhou Mengmeng's face fell, "Mom, she doesn't want to leave here, and she doesn't want to leave my dad." ”

Zhou's mother is a very traditional woman, even if her husband is a bad gambler, she has never thought of divorce, and she has often cleaned up for her husband in the past few decades.

So even if Zhou Mengmeng kept instigating Zhou's mother and Zhou Rong in front of her, Zhou's mother still firmly refused to divorce, and for this reason, Zhou Mengmeng was also very helpless.

Her eyes dimmed a little, but after a while, Zhou Mengmeng cheered up again and said insistently, "But I will convince my mother to let her go with me!" I will not let that vampire suck my and my mother's blood for the rest of my life!"

While the two were talking, Aunt Fang, the little worker in the store, ran in, "Mengmeng, when is your mother coming down?

Zhou's mother runs a small fried shop, because the geographical location is better, the dishes are good, and the price is affordable, so there are more people during the meal time from 11 o'clock to 14 o'clock at noon every day.

Usually, Zhou's mother is in charge of the cashier, and Aunt Xiaogongfang and Aunt Chen help wash vegetables, cut vegetables, and wash dishes to greet guests.

Since Zhou Mengmeng came back, the work of greeting guests and cashier was handed over to Zhou Mengmeng, and other things were done by the two aunts.

It's 11 o'clock today, and the guests have come to Mother Zhou but haven't come down yet, so Aunt Fang came over to urge.

Zhou Mengmeng frowned, "I'm afraid my mother won't be able to come down." Well, I'll stir-fry. ”

"You're coming?"

Aunt Fang glanced at Zhou Mengmeng suspiciously, it was not that she looked down on Zhou Mengmeng, but that there were too few young girls who could cook now, and even fewer could cook well.

She hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Mengmeng, are you sure you won't call your mother down?" These customers are all frequent customers in our store, it's not easy to offend, if today's meal is ......?"

She didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was obvious, that is, if today's meal was not good enough, I am afraid that the guests would be unhappy.

Zhou Mengmeng nodded firmly, "I can!"

Aunt Fang couldn't say anything, so she hurriedly went out to greet the guests.

"Meng Meng, are you really good?"

Yan Duo asked worriedly, in her impression, Zhou Mengmeng had never cooked, could she cook well?

What's more, this is not for yourself to eat, how to do it badly, the guests will definitely be unhappy.

"I ...... I should do it...... Right?" Zhou Mengmeng said without any confidence at all, crying with a sad face.

Yan Duo can see that this girl is definitely not good at cooking.

He said, "Well, I'll come! I'm not very good at cooking, but I'll have enough customers!"

Especially after she recently developed the function of stir-frying with Reiki, that cooking skill has simply made a qualitative leap.

Zhou Mengmeng's eyes lit up, "Okay, good, yes! Duoduo, your cooking skills are recognized as good! I have eaten your cooking before, and it is even better than my mother's cooking! You must be able to do it!"

So, Yan Duo put on an apron and went into the kitchen to start preparing.

Zhou Mengmeng also came in, although Yan Duo's cooking skills are good, but it is made for himself, and now he has to make it for the guests, Zhou Mengmeng is also a little worried that Yan Duo will not be able to cope with it.

"Is there anything I need help with?"

"No, you just go out and help!"

"I'd better stay and help you! Duoduo, I'll hand over a plate and help stir-fry the food. ”

"No need, I'm enough for one person!"

Yan Duo was so good at talking, and finally persuaded Zhou Mengmeng to leave, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

No one else must be present when she stir-fries, otherwise someone will see her stir-frying without a shovel, and this will not be shocked.
