Seeing Ling Muer, Lan's expression softened. She whispered, "So it's Mu'er."
"Cousin." Ling Zicheng called her obediently.
Ling Mu'er touched Ling Zicheng's small face: "Why doesn't Cheng'er go to play with his cousin? Your aunt misses you so much."
Ling Zicheng blushed. My cousin's home has delicious food, and he ate very happily last time. But my mother said that my cousin's family is a good person, but they should not take other people's kindness for granted. The life of their family is not easy, so don't disturb their life.
"The business in the store is so good, why don't you go to work?" Lan's said warmly.
Ling Mu'er originally wanted to say that there were several servants in the store, and she didn't need her help. However, a thought suddenly appeared in her mind, and that thought made her change her statement.
"It's not that my little aunt doesn't know my personality. How can I stay? I'm not bad at all, and I don't have any talent for meticulous work. Stay in the kitchen, throwing dishes or bowls. Stay away In the lobby, pouring a cup of tea can also stain the clothes of the customers. It’s okay if I don’t stay in the store, but I will cause trouble for them as soon as I go in. Fortunately, I know how to read the account books. In the future, the account books in the store will be handed over to me. Others Just don't leave it to me." Ling Muer looked terrified.
Lan looked at Ling Muer enviously. With such a big store and such a good business, their family has survived. Some time ago, Mrs. Wang went crazy and wanted to harm their family members. They too were frightened. But fortunately, nothing happened, and they came to the end of their hardships. If she can get rid of the Ling family, it's okay to save her arms and legs.
"Your parents and eldest brother are also in the store. Even if you can't do things, they must be able to do it." In terms of diligence, Yang is the most diligent and ingenious among all the daughter-in-laws. After all, she was a child bride-in-law before, and she suffered a lot since she was a child. She did all the work inside and outside the house.
Lan Shi was spoiled by his parents before, so he can't do anything. Later, when she married Ling Wei, it felt like the beginning of a disaster. Over the years, she has also learned a lot, but she is still not as good as Yang. If possible, Lan's willing to get close to Yang. It's a pity... Now that they have separated, they don't even have the chance to get along.
Ling Mu'er knew that implying Lan's like this was useless, and Lan's didn't understand her meaning at all. It seemed that she could only get straight to the point.
"Little aunt, we are short of people in our store, so we want to recruit some people outside. I met you today, and I have another idea. See if this works..." Ling Mu'er lowered her voice, and said to Lan's: " If you come to work for our family, you will receive two hundred Wen per month."
Lan looked at Ling Mu'er in astonishment: "Mu'er, are you willing to hire me to do something?"
"That's right! We know the basics. Rather than calling outsiders, of course it's more reassuring to be one of our own." Ling Muer looked at Lan's with a smile.
Lan's eyes were red with emotion. She wants to say yes. Two hundred texts a month! It is completely possible for their mother and child to live a good life.
However, she can't.
Even if he made money, he would hand it over to Mrs. Wang when he went back. Their mother and son still live the most impoverished life.
It would be nice to be able to leave that family.
With the kindness of the third sister-in-law's family, she must be willing to help them. In other words, even if the third sister-in-law and the others were unwilling, her natal family would help her. No matter how miserable she is, she will never be like this. Over the years, her natal family gave her a lot of food every year, and those things almost fell into the mouths of the family, and she and Cheng'er didn't eat anything at all. Sometimes she really wants to tell her parents, don't waste any more, just stay and eat for yourself! But parents insisted on sending them. Even if they knew that the things would end up in the stomachs of the Wang family, they still had to give them away. If not, the life of their mother and son will be even more difficult.
Perhaps, she should consider changing this predicament. The road is made by oneself. Third sister-in-law and the others can get out of that den of thieves, so can she.
As long as she can get out of there, she doesn't want anything, she just wants to take Cheng'er away.
And away.
For the first time, Lan's thought of reconciling.
As soon as this thought came out, it was like a young seedling sprouting out bit by bit, slowly jumping up to a high level, and she couldn't control this feeling more and more.
Ling Zicheng's expression of contentment in the restaurant a few days ago appeared in his mind, that small face was full of happiness. At that moment, she was really distressed.
She was thinking, she is really not a good mother. From birth to now, her child has never had a happy day. He is the same age as Ling Xi, but Ling Xi is a head taller than him. He looked like a child of two or three years old. However, this child is still so sensible, and every time he turns to comfort her.
For the sake of the children, this day cannot go on like this. She had to figure it out.
"Mu'er, give Auntie another month. Auntie will deal with those matters before she comes to ask you for a meal." After Lan thought about it, the dullness in her eyes dissipated, and those eyes became brighter. She was already good looking, otherwise Ling Wei wouldn't have been following her. I have been tortured all these years, and my whole person is lifeless. At this moment, it was like seeing the dawn through the clouds and mist, and the whole person was full of vigor and vitality.
Ling Muer smiled: "Okay."
"By the way, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Fang entered the city today. Have you ever seen them?" Lan said with a frown.
"I've seen it. They're eating Bawang's meal in our store." The corners of Ling Muer's mouth rose.
"Then you are still here? Your family is a group of honest people. Only you can shock them. Why don't you go back soon?" Lan said, staring at her.
Ling Mu'er took Ling Zicheng's little hand, and said with a smile, "Cheng'er, are you hungry? My cousin will take you to eat."
Seeing her insignificant expression, Mrs. Lan couldn't help being anxious: "Didn't you hear what I said? Or, even you are afraid of them? That's not right! You are not so easily scared. What the hell? How is it?"
"Little aunt, there is a saying that Shibie should be admired for three days." Ling Mu'er raised her head to look at Lan's. "My parents may not care about themselves, but they will definitely not care about their children. Last time, my brother was almost killed and disabled, and they themselves were almost beaten to death. Therefore, it is impossible for them to forgive Wang."
"Really? Good people like your parents really know how to resist Wang?" Lan still didn't believe it.
"It's true, it's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, follow me to see it. It's time to end now." Ling Muer said.
Lan Shi didn't go to the store with Ling Muer to check and knew what Ling Muer said was true. Because Mrs. Wang was taken away by the yamen servants, this matter was discussed everywhere in the city. Some people said that Ling Dazhi was unfilial, being so cruel to his own mother. Some people said that Wang's treatment of Ling Dazhi was bad in the past, which was why his own son was ruthless. In short, everyone has their own opinions. However, the Ling Family Restaurant has become famous again. It's just that being famous this time is not a good thing. It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
"It seems that your parents have really become smarter. Then I'm relieved. I'm really worried that they are still as confused as before." Lan raised a smiling face.
Ling Mu'er rarely saw Lan's smile. These years are too depressing, and the young and lively girl has become a resentful woman. Now the black mist in her heart disappeared, and her whole body became full of vitality. But Ling Mu'er had a hunch that it would not be easy for Lan's to leave that smoky home.
"Yesterday my sister-in-law was beaten up by Wang so she couldn't get out of bed." Lan and Ling Muer were talking about what happened recently. Some things cannot be said to her natal family, and there are not many people in the village who can talk to her. Unexpectedly, seeing this little niece, she poured out all the bitterness. Maybe the little niece is too mature!
"The life of the eldest aunt is also bitter." The uncle's family are all honest people, but they are too honest. At any rate, Ling Dazhi could resist for his wife and daughter, but his uncle didn't dare.
"Yes! Sister-in-law is a good person. Thanks to her helping me these years, I can survive." Lan's eyes were red. "But why don't good people get rewarded?"
Seeing Lan's appearance, Ling Mu'er thought of her aunt Ma. For the first time, she had the idea of killing Mrs. Wang.
"We've arrived at the door, why don't you go in and have a seat?" Ling Mu'er said to Lan's.
"No. If there is a chance in the future, I'll come here every day. Now I'll go back first." Lan shook his head.
"Wait for me first." Ling Mu'er finished speaking to Lan Shi, picked up Ling Zicheng and left.
Lan wanted to stop her, but seeing Ling Zicheng's small body, her heart softened, and she let Ling Muer carry her away.
She has her own pride. But can pride be eaten? I received the favor of this child today, and I will repay her twice as much in the future. Let Cheng'er have a full meal first!
Ling Zicheng came back with dozens of skewers. He looked at Lan's with some anxiety, held out a small hand, and said weakly, "Mother, my cousin gave it to me."
"You eat! Mom is not hungry." Lan patted Ling Zicheng's small face with a smile. "Remember your cousin's kindness to you. Repay her later."
"Yes." Ling Zicheng nodded repeatedly. "My cousin is a good person, my cousin, my third aunt, and my third uncle are all good people."
"Let's go!" Lan Shi picked up Ling Zicheng. "You finish eating first, don't let others see."
"Mother, you eat too." Ling Zicheng put the thing in his hand to Lan's mouth.
"Mother is not hungry." Lan shook her head again and again.
"No. If Mom doesn't eat it, I won't either." Ling Zicheng looked at Lan Shi stubbornly.
Lan's had no choice but to open his mouth to hold a string of meatballs. The fragrant meat smell spread to her taste buds, and she felt intoxicated.
"Okay, eat it quickly! If they see it, be careful to steal it from you." Especially Ling Xi, that bully. In that house, there was simply no law.
Thinking of that little overlord who always snatched things, Lan's heart was filled with displeasure. She told herself, bear with it! Just leave.
Lan only knew that Wang had entered the cell, but did not know that Fang and Ling Xi had also gone together. Zhou Qiyan reported to the officials, and the yamen servants would of course arrest them. Of course, this case is also a small case. The defendant has gone, and the plaintiff has to go too. Just now Zhou Qiyan went to the yamen himself, and came back not long after.
The trial of Wang's and Fang's was also reported. That is three months of detention. As for Ling Xi, he was sent to Lingjia Village by the yamen servant.
