Chapter 152 A idiot like you deserves to be poor for a lifetime
That evening, Osmanthus returned home carrying a bag of halva and half a catty of pork.
Normally, she would never be willing to buy these useless things, but now the conditions are different. She helps out at the food stall every day, and she can earn fifty or sixty coppers no matter how bad the business is.
Although standing by the fire frying things is tiring and hot, as long as you can make money, no matter how hard it is, it will be sweet in your heart.
Business was particularly good today, so the little boss gave her a hundred and ten copper coins. After receiving the money, she went to buy halva and meat, preparing to make a good meal for her family.
Before she entered the door, she saw a man standing in the courtyard. She looked at him for a long time without daring to recognize him. Finally, it was Li Shu who greeted him first: "Sister Guihua, don't you recognize me? I am your Brother Shu."
"Brother Shu? What kind of wind brings you here?"
Osmanthus came in with a smile and exchanged greetings with him, moving stools and pouring water. The reception was very thorough, but she was muttering secretly in her heart.
Since Li Shu's family became prosperous, he has rarely interacted with his poor relatives. This sudden visit may not be well-intentioned.
As expected, Li Shu casually mentioned a few old childhood events, and then mentioned the stall selling snacks in the past few days.
He didn't even mention how his business was going, and just asked Guihua to come to his house to help.
"Anyway, you have to work in any house, so you might as well come over and help me. Don't worry, we are all relatives and we will definitely not treat you badly."
Osmanthus flatly rejected him: "That won't work. Since I promised Qingqing to help her, I must help her until the end. Otherwise, will they still dare to use me in the future?"
"Sister Guihua, I am your cousin. Although we have had less contact over the years, our blood relationship is still there. How can you refuse me for an outsider?"
"I heard that Baiwan Noodle House only does business for an hour a day. You shouldn't be able to make much money by following her, right? In this case, I'll pay you 20 cents, so you can come over and work for me."
Guihua touched the heavy purse around her waist and refused more simply: "Cousin, there is no need to persuade me, I will not leave Baiwan Noodle House, no matter how much I pay."
Li Shu was very angry: "Guihua, are you stupid? You don't want the money that comes to your door? This is the first time I have seen someone like you in my life!"
"Then let my cousin learn a lot this time."
Guihua's face turned cold, "Cousin, if you have nothing else to do, please go home. My family is in a state of ruin and cannot afford to entertain a noble person like you."
"Idiots like you deserve to be poor for the rest of your life!"
Li Shu roared angrily and walked away angrily.
Osmanthus ignored him, opened the candy and divided it between the two children, and said: "Next time your cousin comes over, don't open the door for him."
Da Zhuang: "What if he has to come in?"
Caizhu licked the candy and said with a smile: "Then let the dog bite him, woof, he will bite his ass to bits!"
Osmanthus looked at the bright smile on her daughter's face, and felt tender in her heart. If it weren't for Shen Qingqing's help, how could they live the good life they have today?
As a human being, you must know how to be grateful.
"Dazhuang, you and your mother will go to the noodle shop tomorrow to help out and pack things for the guests. This will just allow you, Grandma He, to rest for a while."
Da Zhuang slapped his chest loudly, "I can still help mom move things, I'm very energetic."
Osmanthus looked at him with a smile, then turned to look at Caizhu, "Cai Zhu will stay at home with grandma. You must be obedient. Mom will buy you new clothes and delicious food when she earns money."
"No need for new clothes, I can still wear my clothes." Caizhu shook her head seriously.
Although Guihua rarely mentioned the death of her husband, her two children still noticed the changes in the family and became more sensible than before, which made her feel both relieved and distressed.
That night Guihua fried the pork, and the family had a delicious meal of braised pork with white rice.
When she went to the noodle shop to help out the next day, she didn't mention Li Shu's visit. Instead, Shen Qingqing saw some clues and took the initiative to ask her if she had encountered any trouble.
Osmanthus shook her head: "It's just a small matter. I can handle it myself, so I won't bother you."
Zuo just refused it two more times, so what's the point?
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself. There's one more thing. You should pay attention these two days and try not to get into verbal disputes with others."
Osmanthus looked at her serious expression and nodded.
Today's business was still booming. With Da Zhuang's help, she had time to drink water and rest, and received another hundred and ten copper coins that night.
Looking at Da Zhuang's suspenders, Gui Hua took the money and was going to buy some cheap coarse cloth from a nearby cloth pile.
When she reached the corner of the street, Li Shu's daughter-in-law Zhang stopped her and called her: "Cousin, are you free? If you are free, come to my house for a cup of tea."
The smile on Guihua's face faded, and she replied in a cold voice: "No, I'm going to take the kids to buy some things, I don't have time."
Zhang didn't seem to understand what she was saying, so he smiled and took her arm, dragging her into the alley, "You're welcome, I'm just having a sip of tea, it doesn't take much time."
"Sister-in-law, stop dragging me. Just like my cousin, you asked me to help at the food stall, right?"
Osmanthus took her arm out of her hand and said, "I've made this very clear. If I really can't go, no one can persuade me."
"Cousin, you misunderstood. I'm not here to ask for your help this time." Mrs. Zhang took her arm again, pretending to be sad and said: "I heard about the Qiangzi thing. You can't take care of the child alone."
Are you feeling better?"
As she spoke, she took out a piece of silver from her purse and pointed to Da Zhuang beside her, "Take this silver and buy some food and clothing for the child. Look at how Dazhuang's clothes are in tatters."
Guihua didn't accept the money and said bluntly: "Let's not beat around the bush and just say what you have to say."
Mrs. Zhang laughed awkwardly, "The business at my food stall has not been very good these days. My sister-in-law wants to ask you for advice. How do you fry tofu and potatoes, and what seasonings are mixed on them?"
As expected, she is waiting for her here.
Guihua pushed her arm away and took a step back, saying with a cold face: "Sister-in-law, don't ask. I can't tell you this kind of thing, and I can't tell you even if I give you money."
After saying that, she grabbed Da Zhuang's wrist and turned around to walk back. Unexpectedly, she was blocked by Li Shu and a group of street gangsters.
Li Shu took a wooden stick and tapped the ground leisurely, "Leave the formula, and I will let you and Da Zhuang leave, and I will give you the money. If not, don't blame my cousin for turning his back on me."
Guihua stood up straight and faced him without fear, "I don't know the formula, and even if I knew it, I wouldn't tell you!"
"Okay, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin."
Li Shu showed a ruthless expression and raised his hand to call his brothers, "Let's give them some color first."
"Don't hit my mother!" Da Zhuang took a step forward and stretched out his arms to protect Osmanthus fragrantly behind him.
Now that his father is gone, he is the only man in the family and should take on the responsibility of protecting his mother and sister.
"Smelly shit, punch me!"
Da Zhuang raised his fist and rushed towards Li Shu. Before he could hit anyone, he was kicked by the gangster and turned over.
Da Zhuang rubbed his butt that was smashed into eight petals, and his eyebrows were twisted into twists.
No, he is obviously very strong!
Even the little brats in the village can't beat him! This chapter has been completed!
