Chapter 400: Give It a Chance
Amy believes in Elaine, but not in Mother.
Ai Mu is a person who has no bottom line for her own benefit, if she really tells Ai Lian all the ways to make money, something will happen sooner or later.
Elaine herself knows this and has no objections.
"It's supposed to be this way."
Elaine would never say that before, but Elaine, who was sold by Ai's mother and almost made a bow, forcibly made her heart ruthless.
On Jiangcheng's side, with Zhang Xiu, a senior in front, Ai Lian will soon be able to prepare things for another street by herself.
In addition to these, Amy also found that life was a little different from before.
That is, every day Zou and Ming will appear at the gate of Jiangcheng University at the time when Zhang Xiu gets off work.
Zhang Xiu didn't tell anyone where Amy lived, including Zou and Ming.
Zou and Ming couldn't go to Amy's house to wait for her to get off work, so they waited on the way she would definitely pass by after work.
It just so happened that the store at the entrance of the school was the one that Zhang Xiu was responsible for supplying, so he would go in every day and order a bowl of sour plum soup or pear juice, and wait for her while drinking, or keep it for Zhang Qiang directly.
Zhang Xiu's first reaction was panicking, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid her.
Today, too, in order to avoid Zou and Ming, it is clear that it is time to get off work, but Zhang Xiu has not left yet.
Amy has Zhang Qiang, a little eye and ear who wants to match the two of them, and she has a clear understanding of the situation between the two people.
She came to the kitchen with a smile and quipped:
"The boss of yours was really rich, and he went to the store every day to order something to drink."
Zhang Xiu is a spirit.
"I'm going to tell him now that he won't come in the future, he is also very hard to be the boss, most of the money is given to the people below, how much money can be spent like this."
Before, Zhang Xiu was bent on avoiding Zou and Ming, but when Amy reminded him of this, he thought about how much money he spent to wait for him, and he immediately became anxious.
On this day, for the first time, she did not continue to hide from people, but led Zhang Qiang to hurry to the hotel at the entrance of the university.
Running fast today, Zou Youming had just arrived at the store, and was about to order something, when he was directly pulled away by Zhang Qiang, who suddenly appeared at the door.
"Qiangqiang, why are you coming alone, your mother?"
"Mom was behind and I was running fast, so Mom told me to come first. Uncle, don't eat in the store anymore, you won't have money to eat anymore. ”
Although Zhang Qiang thinks that the sour plum soup and pear juice are indeed delicious, he will still get tired of drinking them every day.
"If I don't come here, how can I see your mother?"
Zou Youming really likes Zhang Xiu.
At the beginning, when Zhang Xiu took his children to the dock to look for work, he just felt that it was not easy for everyone to live in Jiangcheng like everyone else on the dock, and he had no other thoughts about helping him.
Later, seeing that Zhang Xiu was working harder than the man on the dock, I couldn't help but pay more attention to her, and I slowly admired her.
Later, Zou Youming knew that Zhang Qiang needed a lot of money to treat his illness through his subordinates, and he also knew about Zhang Xiu and Song Yuejin, and he felt that Zhang Xiu was not easy, and when she could do more money on the dock, he would give her priority.
Because of this, the two people have a lot more contact than before.
After Zhang Xiu was sure that he was not a bad person, he began to bring Zhang Qiang to the docks.
When Zou Youming had time, he often took Zhang Qiang to play here.
He likes children very much, but in the early years, his family was poor, and no one wanted to marry a poor man like him.
Later, he slowly became famous on the docks, and he was busy again, and he didn't have time to go to the object.
I have been delayed since I came and went, and I have not yet married.
Zhang Qiang is a smart kid, and he likes it very much.
As a result, Zou Youming spent more and more time with Zhang Qiang, and Zhang Qiang also liked this uncle who was good to him more and more.
In order to thank Zou Youming for helping to watch the child, Zhang Xiu often sends him something she can afford.
He knew the economic situation of Zhang Xiu's family and didn't want to accept things, but Zhang Xiu had to thank him, so he casually said that he didn't know how to cook, and it was too expensive to always go to restaurants to eat.
Zhang Xiu really began to take the children to him to help cook when he was free.
After cooking, Zhang Xiu didn't eat, untied his apron and left with the child, no matter how Zou and Ming stayed, it was useless.
But even so, his originally deserted house began to have fireworks because of her arrival and the smell of rice in the house.
Originally, Zou and Ming planned to wait for the two of them to get along for a longer time before expressing their intentions to Zhang Xiu.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu suddenly came to him and said that he would not come to work on the dock again in the future.
Zou Youming thought that she had been deceived at the time, and used some means to find out what was going on, afraid that she would be hurt.
After making sure that the job offered by Amy's side was okay, although he was reluctant, he still let the person go.
Because he was also reluctant to let Zhang Xiu suffer on the dock.
It's just that the two people are not in the same place, and the chances of meeting have become sharply reduced.
Zou Youming knows how easy it is for a divorced man and woman with children to be gossiped about.
So although I want to see Zhang Xiu often, I am also very restrained, and only occasionally "inadvertently" passes by and looks at her without being noticed by her.
Then, Zhang Xiu's condition slowly improved, and he bought a gift and went to the dock with Zhang Qiang to see him.
This time, Zou Youming didn't endure it anymore, but directly told her his intentions.
As a result, Zhang Xiu was still frightened and began to hide and refuse to see him.
Thinking of this, Zou Youming felt a little remorseful.
If he knew it would be like this, he shouldn't have been so impulsive to say what was in his heart in the first place.
"But why is Mom avoiding you?"
Although Zhang Qiang is very smart, there are some things that he still can't understand as an adult.
Zou Youming smiled bitterly and said:
"Because your mother doesn't like me, but when I say something like that to her, she thinks I've helped her before, and it's not appropriate for her to refuse directly. In fact, I just wanted to make it clear that if she really hated me, I wouldn't bother her life in the future, and if she didn't hate me, give me a chance to decide whether to be with me or not. ”
As a result, Zhang Xiu was like a frightened rabbit, so he couldn't catch up, and he had no place to say these words.
Zhang Qiang blinked, and the confusion on his face became more obvious.
"But mom likes you, do you want to hide if you like a person?"
A child's emotions are always straightforward and simple.
Zhang Qiang was raised by Zhang Xiu alone since he was a child, and he could easily distinguish his mother's feelings for other people.
He didn't understand why his mother obviously liked Uncle Zou, but every time she saw him, she would pull him away and hide away.
The speaker had no intention of listening to the listener, and Zhang Qiang's words made Zou Youming directly stunned in place.
"Qiangqiang, you said your mother she, she likes me?"
Zou Youming always thought that Zhang Xiu hated him.
Otherwise, why do you keep avoiding him?
"yes, my mom, she-"
Halfway through the words, Zhang Xiu finally caught up with Zhang Qiang, and just heard the second half of the sentence.
"Mom, she likes you."
At the same time that Zhang Qiang said these words, Zou Youming heard the footsteps and looked back.
The two of them, staring at each other.
"Xiuxiu, Qiangqiang said you ......"
"He said nonsense, what does the child know, I am grateful to you for giving our mother and son a way to live before, it is grateful, not anything else, the child he and he can't tell the difference."
Zhang Xiu's heart was beating so fast that she couldn't even hear her voice clearly.
She repeated over and over again that children were ignorant and talking nonsense.
However, Zou Youming, who was standing opposite her, clearly saw her red cheeks.
He looked at Zhang Xiu and said softly.
"Okay, Qiangqiang is nonsense, I see. That Xiuxiu, do you hate me? ”
"I ...... You are our savior, how could I hate you? ”
"Well, since you don't hate me, let me pursue you, you give me a chance, if you still feel that it is not good after a month, you will directly reject me, I will definitely not pester you."
"I ......"
"Mom, just give Uncle Zou a chance."
Zhang Qiang pulled Zhang Xiu's hand and began to be coquettish.
Finally, Zhang Xiu blushed and nodded.
From this day on, she no longer avoided Zou and Ming as soon as she saw her.
On the other side, Ai's family.
Elaine has been away from home for seven days.
On the first day, Ai Mu thought she had been taken away by the guy who bought her, and she didn't think much about it.
On the second and third days, the factory directly said that Ai Lian would be fired if she didn't go to work again, and she began to be anxious.
Ai's mother is not worried about Elaine, but worried that one less person will go to work and the family will lose a salary.
However, instead of going to the same group that had given the money before to ask where Elaine was, she pushed the job to Ellie.
Elle is used to playing, and she can't stand it at all when she goes to work all of a sudden, and she has to complain every day when she comes back.
Today is the seventh day, and finally Elle mentions that she wants to go to Elaine.
"What are you looking for her? She is already married, she is someone else's daughter-in-law, and she won't spend it on us if she earns money, so it's better for you to do it. ”
Ai Mu thought of a lot of ways to sell Ai Lian to a person who offered such a high price.
That person is irritable, and he will definitely be able to subdue Elaine.
But the downside is that Ai Mu herself is afraid of him.
But it's okay, anyway, Elaine's role is to sell it for a bride price, and then there is to help the family do housework and make money.
Anyway, she has many daughters, and there is an Elaine and an Ellie who are gone.
"But I don't like to do this, this one is too tiring, and it's not for me at all."
Ai Mu glared at her.
"What's not suitable, hasn't your eldest sister also done it for so many years? I tell you, do it well, or when the time comes to pay your salary, you will be less than before, and you will wait to be beaten. ”
Elle blushed up, but knew that she couldn't tell her mother that she didn't want to go to work, so she had to try to think of something else.
The next day, she thought about it.
"Mom, I want to go to school to find Amy on the day I don't go to work this week, she has been studying for half a year, and she must know a lot of rich male students in the family. I look like you, good-looking, and when the time comes, I will find a golden beetle son-in-law who has money in the family and can give a lot of bride price and arrange a good job for my younger brother. ”
Elle had spoken these things to Ai's mother before, and Ai's mother also let her go out.
That time, she also brought Ai Qianqian, who wanted to find a college student as his girlfriend.
It's just that they were surrounded by a gang of thugs as soon as they went out that time.
Later, they never succeeded in getting out, and slowly they didn't dare to toss.
But recently, she saw that those gangsters were gone, and she would definitely be able to go to Jiangcheng University smoothly.
