Jiang Huixin did not dare to face Tang Mingshan's anger, and she was really curious about how father and daughter got along. She happened to have cooked a meal for Tang Mingshan, so she took a tray and sent it over.
Before entering the door, she had already thought of an escape route. As soon as she saw something was wrong, she would immediately exit with the tray in hand.
The reasons were all ready. It was a pity that the rice was spilled, so she held it and stayed away.
Tang Mingshan is usually very fierce, so even though he was very busy today, Jiang Huixin specially prepared a meal for him. Even because she was afraid that he would lose his temper, today's meal was better, so she asked the butcher who specializes in delivery to bring him a
The pig's feet are stewed in a small pot on the stove until they become soft and tender.
Not only eating meat was not enough, she also fried a plate of tofu.
When Jiang Huixin entered the door, she even raised her ears to listen to what was going on inside. She found nothing, so she tentatively opened the door. She raised her eyes and saw the father and daughter lying and standing, not looking like they were quarreling. She was confused.
Yu didn't dare to ask more: "Dad, are you hungry? Eat something while it's hot."
Before Tang Mingshan said anything, Chu Yunli had already stepped forward to pick her up: "I'm hungry."
Jiang Huixin didn't dare to hand over the tray, and subconsciously grasped the edge of the tray with both hands, feeling that her scalp was numb. She didn't hear Tang Mingshan's roar for a while, and then she peeked over.
Tang Mingshan looked calm, as if this was a normal thing.
But in Jiang Huixin's eyes, this was too strange. Just as she was wondering, out of the corner of her eye she saw the little girl next to her had already picked up the chopsticks. She was startled: "This is for your dad."
Chu Yunli picked up the bowl of pig's trotters: "Dad said, I'm weak, let me replenish it." She looked at the person on the bed: "This little food is only enough for me to eat. Let them prepare it for you."
.”
Tang Mingshan looked at Jiang Huixin.
Jiang Huixin met his eyes and didn't react. It took a long time to realize that he meant to let her cook.
"I'll go right away."
Xiaoya hasn't eaten much good food since she was a child. She just hangs on to survive. She is weak and has hidden diseases. She really needs to take some food. Chu Yunli said that she can eat this tray of food.
It’s not an exaggeration to finish eating.
Jiang Huixin hadn't finished cooking yet, but Chu Yunli had already eaten all the food. During this period, she could also feel Tang Mingshan's fierce eyes, but she didn't take it to heart at all.
She put down the bowls and chopsticks and stood next to the bed again: "Are you very unconvinced?"
Tang Mingshan caught a glimpse of the knife in her hand and didn't dare to be dissatisfied. He lowered his head and said, "I was thinking... If you are not full, I will share some of my food with you later."
He was very nervous when he noticed that this girl was staring at him with malicious eyes. After all, he only had one life, and he might not be able to survive it if he was fighting alone at this moment.
Of course, you won’t necessarily lose.
But he doesn’t want to try, what if?
The door was pushed open again, and Jiang Huixin brought food in again. Tang Mingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This time there was some pig's trotters on the tray, which Jiang Huixin had just left for her brother and sister: "Eat it while it's hot."
Tang Mingshan nodded.
"Has the room charge been charged?"
Jiang Huixin was afraid that he would ask this, so she rubbed her hands uncomfortably: "Just now, the guests checked out three rooms and no one checked in."
Tang Mingshan frowned: "I remember they came to buy things and stayed for half a month. Why did they leave after only a few days?"
He was used to being irritable, and his voice became louder and louder, as if he was about to take action if he disagreed.
Jiang Huixin was startled, glanced at Chu Yunli, and hesitated: "We didn't have time to cook and clean during the day. They went out to eat, and they were persuaded to leave by the Yang family over there."
At this time, Tang Mingshan was drinking soup. He finished the food in one gulp and slammed the bowl on the ground: "There are only ten rooms, and more than half of them are occupied by one person. How come there is no time to clean up? In the past, each room was full of people.
You are not too busy, I think you are just lazy..."
"It's none of my business." Jiang Huixin burst into tears: "I tried my best, but my hands were burned in several places."
As he spoke, he stretched out his reddish wrist.
Tang Mingshan was impatient: "How did you get here before?"
Jiang Huixin was silent.
"Say it!" Tang Mingshan smashed another bowl.
Jiang Huixin trembled: "At that time, I had Xiaoya to help me. She had to take care of several people. Today, the Qinghe brothers and sisters have been working with me in the kitchen and they can't even finish the work!"
Just now, Tang Mingshan really thought that Jiang Huixin was lazy, so he questioned her repeatedly. After hearing these words, he suddenly remembered the matter. Of course, at this time, he did not dare to lose his temper at Xiaoya, so he just cursed
: "A bunch of trash."
Jiang Huixin was dumbfounded.
She didn't want to say it just now because she didn't want the man to attack Xiaoya because of her words. She was really forced to tell the truth because she had no choice but to tell the truth. She thought the man was going to lose his temper again and Xiaoya was going to be beaten again... but this is what happened?
I didn’t hit anyone or throw anything, which is quite unaccustomed to me.
"I'm too busy, so please hire someone."
As soon as Chu Yunli spoke, both of them looked over. She looked lazy: "I don't know how to work anymore, so don't expect me to help."
Jiang Huixin glanced at the man's face and subconsciously scolded her: "You girl, you are not a three-year-old child, how can you not work? What will you eat if you don't work?"
"I won't starve to death after all." Chu Yunli yawned: "I'm tired, I want to go back and rest." She looked at Tang Mingshan on the bed: "Remember to ask them to prepare meals. Otherwise, you won't have it tomorrow morning.
eat……"
Speaking of this, she thought of something and said: "I remember you wanted to have a late-night snack, so you asked them to make me a bowl, uh, I want to eat fermented glutinous rice dumplings. In the past, I only watched and didn't even taste the soup.
If you take a bite, can you eat it tonight?"
Tang Mingshan nodded subconsciously.
"That's good!" Chu Yunli smiled happily: "Then you have a good rest."
After the person left, the door was not closed, and a gust of night wind blew in. Jiang Huixin felt a chill on her body before she came back to her senses: "Dad, Xiaoya is so shameless, why are you..."
Tang Mingshan didn't want to admit that he was frightened by a little girl, his eyes were as wide as bull's eyes: "Hurry up and prepare the rice dumplings."
Jiang Huixin was dumbfounded: "How did you..."
Tang Mingshan shouted impatiently: "I love my daughter and want her to eat better, can't I?"
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper again, Jiang Huixin did not dare to ask any more questions and ran away quickly.
While working, the more she thought about it, the more doubtful she became, but she didn't dare to ask.
Don't ask Tang Mingshan, you can ask your daughter. Jiang Huixin went to each room to deliver the guests' things before returning to the kitchen to make rice dumplings. After finishing, she personally delivered them to the woodshed.
"Xiaoya, Yuanzi is ready."
Chu Yunli was already asleep and didn't really want to eat. However, Xiaoya's body felt better quickly if she ate more. She cheered up and reached out to take it.
Jiang Huixin peeked at her expression, but couldn't tell anything. She asked curiously: "Why did your father's attitude suddenly change?"
"I am also his child. His conscience found out and he is ready to compensate me." Chu Yunli opened her mouth.
Jiang Huixin looked unbelieving: "What is it for?"
This time, Chu Yunli didn't answer. After finishing Yuanzi's meal in a few mouthfuls, he put the bowl away, took out a knife from under the pillow, and threw it on the ground with a clang.
Jiang Huixin was startled and took two steps back: "This knife..."
The blacksmith who made this knife was not very good at cutting, and there were so many guests at home waiting to eat, so Jiang Huixin put the knife aside and bought a new one.
"I'm not good at chopping vegetables, but I'm pretty good at chopping people." Chu Yunli snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid of those who wear shoes if I'm barefoot. I'm so anxious that the whole family will die together."
The tone was eerie.
Jiang Huixin was speechless. It took her a long time to find her voice: "You are so brave."
"There is nothing you can do, there is no way to survive if you are timid." Chu Yunli waved his hand: "It's so late at night, I'm going to bed, go about your business."
Hearing this, Jiang Hui became anxious and blurted out: "Aren't you going to help tonight?"
"I'm such a big person, and I can't speak softly. Why can't you listen to what I say?" Chu Yunli looked impatient: "I told you not to work. Who cares about those Gongtong?
Brush, I’ve already brushed enough! Get out!”
Her voice was so loud that Jiang Huixin hurriedly backed out for fear of waking up the guests. The thought of having to wash the replaced buckets all night again made her back ache. But she couldn't make the girl work, so she let the brother and sister do the work.
Don't even think about it. After thinking about it, she was unwilling to give up and advised: "Xiaoya, you have to be sensible..."
Before she finished speaking, a knife flew out from inside. Jiang Huixin was too frightened to move and closed her eyes tightly. She only felt a sharp blade flying past her ear, scratching her cheek.
When she heard the knife hit the ground, she quietly opened her eyes, subconsciously reached out to touch her painful face, and found her hands were wet. She lowered her head and saw that her eyes were red, and she screamed: "Damn girl, you want to chop me to death."
Chu Yunli went out to pick up a knife: "Stop talking nonsense and get out!"
Jiang Huixin felt cold all over, and it took her a long time to drag her tired body back to the kitchen. She had to wash a lot of dishes that were used during the day, and boil all the teapots that she had taken back. It was already late at night. Over there
There are a lot of buckets waiting for her to clean... Just thinking about it makes me want to pass out.
While boiling water, Jiang Huixin couldn't help but go to Tang Mingshan's house: "Xiaoya has been having a bad temper these past two days, and the family is too busy. Please give her some advice!"
Hearing this, Tang Mingshan raised his head and looked at her inexplicably.
Jiang Huixin felt very uncomfortable when he saw her. She stretched out her hand and touched her face: "That girl just stabbed me with a knife. I almost died."
Tang Mingshan sneered: "Jiang Huixin, in the past you always protected that girl intentionally or unintentionally. I thought you could do it. After all, you know how to protect babies. Now it seems that I was wrong. You said this clearly in your heart.
What would I do after that, but you still came." He stretched out his hand and grabbed her collar: "Don't treat me like a fool! If you want to teach her a lesson, do it yourself!"
Jiang Huixin just wanted Xiaoya to work for her after being threatened by a man. After hearing what he said, she was filled with embarrassment and said with force: "You are her father, and you are always strict."
A loving father and mother...ah..."
The last sound was a scream.
Tang Mingshan ran out of patience and pushed her out: "Get out!"
"You don't care what happens at home! There are so many guests waiting to serve, and I'm exhausted and can't finish the work!" Jiang Huixin burst into tears: "I'm the busiest one, and I'm still not good at the end of the work. No one can do it."
Understand me..."
"You asked for this." Tang Mingshan's eyes were gloomy: "Don't cry in front of me, I'm tired of seeing you."
Jiang Huixin didn't dare to cry anymore: "I'm too busy, and when the guests get angry, they all check out and leave. How can I live my life if I can't do business?"
After saying that, she didn't dare to look at the man's face, turned around and ran away.
The crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground came from behind, and Jiang Huixin didn't dare to look back.
Tang Qinghe went to school for a few years when he was a child. Recently, he was learning to work as a bookkeeper. He had one day off every five days and was basically outside every day. On the day off, he also played with his brothers. Tang Qianqian was learning embroidery. She heard that
The wife of a wealthy family never does laundry, cooking or other chores, and will never touch them unless necessary. She even begged her father to buy a hand-protecting plaster and would apply it carefully every morning and evening. In her words
He said that as long as she married well, the whole family could live a good life.
Tang Mingshan also wanted a rich son-in-law, and quite agreed with his daughter's idea. Jiang Huixin had similar ideas, saying that her daughter's family should be pampered. Even if Qian'er couldn't marry into a wealthy family in the end, no one would dare to marry her.
Call her to death. In the long run, Qian'er's actions will be beneficial to herself.
But that was before, when there were people doing the work at home, and they didn't need the help of the brothers and sisters. They just helped occasionally. But it was different now. Xiao Ya had to let go, and Jiang Huixin couldn't finish the work alone without sleeping.
On the first day, the guests requested things that were not delivered in time. They looked for Jiang Huixin several times in the early morning unhappily. At noon, the remaining guests all asked to check out.
Jiang Hui became anxious, saying nice words and making excuses, and then she managed to calm everyone down. When she turned around, she immediately looked for Tang Qianqian: "Stop embroidering, and hurry up and boil water for me."
Tang Qianqian looked surprised: "Lighting a fire will dry out my hands. I don't know how much hand cream I have to buy to put them back on. My father has said that I can save money by not working."
"Hurry up!" Jiang Huixin didn't bother to explain to her: "I'm too busy, the guests are leaving, and your father will lose his temper again soon."
"You can lose your temper if you want!" Tang Qianqian looked disapproving: "Sister, too. It's been two days and she's still awkward. Does she need her father to kneel down and apologize to her before she can get better?"
Jiang Huixin was very frightened by the current Xiaoya. She always felt like she had changed. Especially those dark eyes, which were frightening to look at. She didn't dare to look at her anymore.
"Say less."
If Xiaoya's knife hits Qian'er's face, Qian'er's next life will be over.
Tang Qianqian didn't move: "I'm not going! If you want to leave, just leave. If you get used to them, someone will definitely stay at the inn if it's open!"
Hearing this, Jiang Hui felt helpless. At this moment, she really regretted raising her two children too coquettishly. They didn't know how difficult it was to make money, so they said such words lightly.
"Help for a day temporarily." Jiang Huixin's words contained a hint of pleading. She had just asked a few ladies who usually helped out, and two of them were helping to set up the tables in the restaurant opposite.
Can be freed up.
She didn't think Xiaoya would always be in trouble. The first two aunts came to help her for two days. When Xiaoya was well, she didn't need to hire anyone else.
"I won't do it." Tang Qianqian didn't even raise her head.
"I think you are trying to force me to death." Jiang Huixin burst into tears: "Everyone is pointing at me. I only have one pair of hands, so I can't do much!"
Tang Qianqian frowned: "Go and persuade the eldest sister."
"She took a knife and threw it at my head." Jiang Huixin pointed to the injury on her face: "Did you see that such a large piece of flesh was scraped off, and there might be scars left."
Tang Qianqian did see injuries on her mother's face, but she thought they were accidentally injured while working. When she heard this, her face was full of surprise: "Is the eldest sister crazy?"
Jiang Huixin also wanted to ask this question.
No matter what she said, Tang Qianqian just didn't want to do things. Jiang Huixin really had no choice but to do it by herself.
She was too busy by herself, and she hadn't cleaned up in the evening. The guests didn't want to give in anymore and were determined to leave. This time, no matter how Jiang Huixin tried to persuade her, even if she was willing to charge 20% less for the room, she still couldn't do it.
People stay.
After all the guests had left, naturally they were no longer busy. Jiang Huixin was crying as she cleaned all the houses and went to the kitchen to tidy up. It was already late at night.
"Where's the midnight snack?"
Hearing the man's cry, Jiang Huixin didn't dare to cry anymore and hurriedly wiped away her tears: "Just come."
Knowing that a man would lose his temper when he knew all the guests were gone, Jiang Hui was so disgusted that she didn't want to serve Xiaoya any more, so she just made a bowl of fermented glutinous rice dumplings.
After finishing it, she carried it to the main room and made up her mind not to work anymore tonight, and would lie down with Tang Mingshan soon.
She made a good plan. As soon as she entered the door, she heard hurried footsteps coming behind her. She turned around and saw Xiaoya. She frowned: "If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself. If you have hands and feet, you just wait for others to serve you. You can't
Sorry."
"I've cooked enough." Chu Yunli reached out and took the tray.
Tang Mingshan was used to eating, but it was a little late today. He was a little hungry and sleepy, so he thought about eating early and going to bed. If this bowl was taken away, he would have to wait at least another quarter of an hour. He didn't have the patience.
Scolding: "I told you to cook one more bowl, why don't you go quickly?"
Jiang Huixin glared at the man: "You just feel sorry for me..."
"Go quickly." Tang Mingshan was furious.
Jiang Huixin wiped away her tears, turned around and left.
"I will be lazy." Tang Mingshan's eyes fell on the cheap daughter at the door again, and said with a smile: "The doctor said that I should go to bed early and get up early, so that the injury will heal quickly. Give me this bowl first, and you go to the kitchen and wait.
.”
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "I can give it to you, too!"
She raised her hand and smashed the bowl.
Tang Mingshan screamed.
It wasn't that the bowl was smashed with great force, but that the dumplings inside were extremely hot. Because he subconsciously reached out to block it, a few big blisters instantly appeared on his hand.
"Xiaoya!"
This sound was like an earth-shattering shock. Jiang Huixin, who had not gone far, turned around in surprise. When she saw the injury on the man's hand, her expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a ladle of cold water and came back: "Soak it quickly."
Tang Mingshan took it and pushed the person away: "A wild species is a wild species, no matter how you raise it, it won't be mature! Get away, I'll be annoyed by you."
Jiang Huixin was pushed to the corner and fell to the corner. After trying hard, she couldn't get up. She lay in a nesting position and cried loudly: "Xiaoya, why don't you be more angry? Are you going to force me to death?"
Xiaoya had long guessed that she might not be of Tang family blood. After all, Tang Mingshan's attitude towards his brothers and sisters was very different. However, she died before she could get the truth, so she really didn't have the courage to ask.
When Chu Yunli came, she naturally wanted to find out. She just leaned against the door frame: "What kind of bastard?"
Jiang Huixin was sobbing quietly, but she burst into tears after hearing this.
Tang Mingshan sneered: "Ask that shameless mother of yours, she knows best."
"I'm not from the Tang family, right?" Chu Yunli stared at Jiang Huixin closely: "Speak!"
"I married your father when I was sixteen. Half a year after we got married, I found out that I was two months pregnant. How could it be that you are not from the Tang family?" Jiang Huixin suddenly stood up and shouted with her hair disheveled: "I don't want to either,
You all blame me, you all blame me! I have made every compromise in these years, working the most and eating the least. Please let me go, please?"
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "So, I have been beaten so much and done so much work since I was a child, just because I am not my biological child?"
Tang Mingshan snorted coldly: "I'll give you food, drink, and raise you well. You should repay the favor and do some work, as if it's your life. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't even have the chance to live in this world.
No!" He emphasized sternly: "I am your benefactor, you will get retribution if you chop me with a knife!"
Finally getting the truth, Chu Yunli stretched out her hand to cover her chest and said word for word: "I would rather I had not been born."
This is what Xiaoya really thinks.
"I should have thought of it earlier. You have treated me harshly since I was a child. You didn't even give me a name." Chu Yunli shook his head: "Since I am not my biological child, I have done so much work since I was a child. You have to pay wages, so just
I used my wages to pay for your meals, so we won’t owe each other anything in the future.”
Tang Mingshan sneered: "I raised you so much that you became a big girl. Now that we say we don't owe each other, it's a wonderful thought! I have already helped you find a marriage. What will your life be like in the future if you marry her?
It depends on your fate. I won’t ask any more questions.”
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "What kind of family?"
Xiaoya's fiancé in her previous life was nothing. He tried to bully her several times before they got married. Fortunately, she escaped cleverly, but the bastard actually sold her innocence and found another man... Xiaoya resisted, and then
Beaten to death.
She just hopes to find a responsible man, even if he doesn't love her, he just wants to live a good life and not hit anyone.
Unfortunately, what is normal for other girls is an unattainable luxury for her.
Tang Mingshan said rudely: "Anyway, you just have to settle down and prepare for marriage."
Chu Yunli took out the knife.
Tang Mingshan: "..."
"Don't be impulsive, everything can be discussed."
