338: Chapter 231: The “Good Fortune” of the Mother and Daughter_2 338: Chapter 231: The “Good Fortune” of the Mother and Daughter_2 After setting things down, Lin Xiaohua cautioned her daughter, “Qiyan, I see clearly that Director Xiao is out of our league.
I feel Liu Zhenqiang’s gaze upon you is sowhat off; he must have taken a liking to you.
You, try not to be too proactive, but don’t let him think you’re too proud either.”
“Mom…” Zhao Qiyan was sowhat displeased, “He’s also too short.
What a sha it would be to bring him ho after getting married?”
“What’s there to be ashad of?
He’s a city person.”
“Mom, I want to find soone taller.”
“Chuxia’s son-in-law is indeed tall, but what use is that?” Lin Xiaohua sighed deeply, her voice full of earnest concern, “Qiyan, honestly, given our situation, we can’t aim too high.”
“Just look at Chuxia, a village girl fancying herself climbing the social ladder, and what happened?
She fell down, right?
We can’t make that mistake again.”
Zhao Qiyan blinked, “Mom, are you saying Chuxia’s son-in-law will be in prison for life?”
“Whether it’s for life, I dare not say, but Chuxia’s life is ruined, stuck with that man, she has to endure hardship all her life.
Without him, tell , who would want to marry a divorcee?”
“Mom…” Zhao Qiyan was still sowhat reluctant.
“Let try with Director Xiao first.
If there’s no hope there, I’ll consider others, okay?
Besides, it’s not like I must settle on Liu Zhenqiang.
Once I have a job in the city, finding a good man shouldn’t be hard, right?
”
“Qiyan…” Lin Xiaohua hesitated before sighing softly, “One thing is a man liking you enough to ask you to marry him; it’s entirely another for you to like soone and ask him to marry you.
How could I harm you?”
Zhao Qiyan responded, “Mom, I’m not tall, but I look good.
Working here, I can definitely find a better man.”
Knowing she couldn’t convince her daughter right then and there, Lin Xiaohua dropped the topic, “I won’t push you, but you aren’t getting any younger and can’t keep delaying.”
“Mom, I know, I’ll find a good husband’s family soon and take you back to our hotown in style.”
“Hmm, I’m waiting,” Lin Xiaohua chuckled, squinting her eyes.
“When the ti cos, your grandfather’s family and your grandmother’s family will have to co suck up to us.
Hmph, we’ll just give the goodies to your grandmother’s family, making your grandfather’s family jealous.”
Zhao Qiyan nodded solemnly, “Okay.
And let dad regret it too.”
“Are you two ready?” Along with the inquiry, Li Juanjuan pushed open the door of the dormitory, scanning the mother and daughter, and spoke expressionlessly, “If you’re ready, get to work already.
We don’t accommodate freeloaders here.”
The contrast in attitude before and after stunned the mother and daughter.
Then, Lin Xiaohua stood up: “Director Li, Director Xiao arranged us to be here…”
Hearing Lin Xiaohua ntioning Xiao Yuwen to exert pressure, Li Juanjuan frowned, “Director Xiao arranged for you to co here to work, not to enjoy yourselves.”
“Where is comrade Liu Weiqiang?”
“He had so matters and has left.”
The mother and daughter were suddenly dumbfounded.
Their boldness was only within their safety net, unfamiliar with their new surroundings and without soone to rely on; they truly didn’t dare.
Although they considered Xiao Yuwen a backer, they weren’t foolish.
This woman had clearly been nice before, and now suddenly changed her attitude, which must have been influenced by sothing Liu Weiqiang said.
The problem was, even if they wanted to complain to Xiao Yuwen, they couldn’t find him.
They didn’t know where his office was located, where he lived, and except for his na, they knew nothing else about him!
At this point, the mother and daughter began to feel fear.
Before, they only thought that dealing with the Zhou family made them powerful; but now thrown here, they suddenly felt that even if soone sold them, they could only endure it.
After being assigned tasks, the mother and daughter realized they had envisioned everything far too beautifully before.
Back in their hotown, the toilet cleaning was always done by Zhao Yufeng.
Lin Xiaohua had never done such work.
The mont she handled the shovel, she vomited violently.
Zhao Qiyan had washed clothes at ho, but that was limited to their family of three.
Now facing piles of sheets, pillowcases, and a set of washing instructions from the Group Leader, she felt her liver tremble…
However, though the mother and daughter’s lives were not that great, compared to the worries of Old Master Zhao and Old Lady Zhao, it was still relatively better.
…
The first thing Xiao Yuwen did after coming back was to visit the dentist—his front teeth were all gone.
Jing Zhe was a doctor, and he knew all too well how to hit soone to knock out their teeth.
He had ssed with the wrong person, and it served him right to beco a toothless man.
Getting teeth replaced isn’t a matter of one or two days.
Xiao Yuwen initially thought about hiding at ho and not seeing anyone, but when he was actually ho, Zhou Mikang’s face kept reappearing in his mind.
His current state was all Zhou Mikang’s fault!
So, if he was toothless, he shouldn’t let Zhou Mikang have teeth either!
With that thought, he simply wore a mask and headed to where Zhou Mikang was detained.
The ones currently restricted in their freedom in the Zhou family were Zhou Jingping and his son Zhou Mikang; however, the two were detained in different places.
As for Second Uncle Zhou and Third Uncle Zhou, as well as Little Aunt Zhou, they followed Old Master Zhou’s advice to focus on their jobs and not interfere with anything else.
The Zhou Family Ancestral Ho was confiscated, but the old house was untouched, so for now, the Zhou family mbers still resided there.
After returning with Old Master Jing and Old Master Wan, Chuxia first went back to the Zhou family.
No matter what, she was now Zhou’s daughter-in-law.
To avoid persecution from Xiao Yuwen, she quickly acknowledged the two old masters as godfathers, but that didn’t an she could really hide from this family and ignore everything.
