Chapter 6 What do you think of her?
Lin Shuyao tidied her appearance in front of the mirror and walked downstairs at a leisurely pace.
As I stepped out of the dormitory building, I saw a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit standing under the locust tree across the street. He was imposing, tall, and had a commanding presence.
"You must be... Uncle Cheng? Hello, I'm Shen Qing."
Lin Shuyao wore a sweet and surprised smile.
Cheng Huazhang had only seen photos of Shen Qing when she was 100 days old; this was the first time he had met her in person.
He smiled kindly: "Hello Xiaoqing, I heard you just finished your registration today, so I came to see you. Have you settled into your dorm yet?"
Lin Shuyao nodded: "Everything is fine. Thank you for arranging work for me. I will try my best to do well and not let you down."
Looking at her obedient appearance, Cheng Huazhang sighed softly, as if thinking of something: "Xiaoqing, your father can't take you back right now. He has his difficulties, and I hope you can understand."
Lin Shuyao had already memorized Shen Qing's diary perfectly, and said sensibly, "I understand, Uncle Cheng. I won't bother my father's family. His relationship with my mother was just an accident."
It was more than just an accident; it was an extramarital one-night stand.
At the time, the man was already married with children, and his wife was in postpartum confinement.
Shen Qing's mother is, frankly speaking, a mistress.
Not long after Shen Qing's mother gave birth to her, she met a foreign businessman and abandoned her to be raised by a couple who were unable to have children. She then ran off with the foreigner.
Before running away, she left the couple the contact address of Shen Qing's biological father, indicating that if they didn't want to raise the child anymore, they should give the child to her father.
The couple treated Shen Qing well, raising her until she was over 18 years old. However, Shen Qing discovered her true identity and realized that her biological father was of high status, which sparked her desire to reunite with her family.
If nothing had gone wrong, her original plan was to come to the capital and formally reunite with her biological father.
But Lin Shuyao avoids the idea of acknowledging her relatives like the plague.
I was a fake to begin with.
The more involved you are, the more likely you are to be exposed.
It would be so much better to just hold onto a stable, secure job!
Cheng Huazhang saw her attitude and thought she was too sensible, which made him feel even more sorry for her. What a good child she was: "Xiaoqing, just focus on your work at the factory. If anything happens, just go to your brother Cheng Zheng. He's the factory representative, so let him back you up. As for your father, he'll definitely come to you once he's taken care of his own affairs."
Hearing him mention Cheng Zheng, Lin Shuyao inevitably recalled that awkward scene.
There's also Cheng Zheng's inexplicable hostility towards Shen Qing.
Lin Shuyao gently touched the corner of her eye with a tea-like expression: "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself, it's just... I saw Brother Cheng Zheng today..."
"Did that brat give you a hard time?"
"No, no," Lin Shuyao said, tears welling up in her eyes, denying the claim with a wronged expression.
It's clear they've been bullied badly; there's no shortage of them.
"You brat!" Cheng Huazhang angrily shook his hand, then reassured Lin Shuyao, "Don't be afraid of him. Just focus on your work at the factory. If he bullies you, tell your uncle, and I'll settle the score with him!"
That's the promise I wanted.
Lin Shuyao nodded obediently, her heart already pounding with joy. She had finally found someone who could cure that person, and it seemed she would have to cling tightly to Uncle Cheng's coattails.
"Uncle, you must be very tired after a long day at work. Go home and rest early. I can take care of myself, so don't worry."
Cheng Huazhang smiled even more kindly, took out two envelopes from his briefcase and handed them to her: "Xiaoqing, this one is from your father, and this one is a small token of my appreciation. Take the flowers and don't skimp on yourself."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Lin Shuyao didn't refuse and accepted it directly.
Only then will everyone feel at ease, and only when they feel at ease will they stop thinking about her all the time.
Being a fake and being targeted is not a good sign.
After seeing Cheng Huazhang off, Lin Shuyao returned to her dormitory and sealed the letter containing the money in the closet.
She had no intention of touching the money.
She took over Shen Qing's job, she was the one doing the work, and she took the salary without a second thought.
But she felt uneasy taking the money from her elders, so she put it away and planned to return it when the time was right.
The union provides hygiene products, but you have to prepare your own bedding such as blankets and pillows.
Lin Shuyao glanced at the bed in the dormitory. It was a steel frame bed with wooden planks on top, without even a mattress. If she didn't buy one today, she would have to sleep on the wooden planks tonight.
She took her only 22 yuan and left the dormitory again.
I thought the money would be enough to buy things, but when I got to the cooperative I found out that a cotton quilt cost 18 yuan and I had to add 10 feet of cloth coupons.
The sales clerk understood immediately from her unfashionable clothes and hesitant expression: "If you think it's too expensive, go to the trust store next door."
Lin Shuyao turned right after leaving the store and found a shop with a sign that read "Trust Shop". The shop sold second-hand goods, but the prices were not as cheap as she had imagined. A quilt cost 12 yuan without a receipt.
Bed sheets cost eight yuan, pillows cost three yuan.
The three items alone cost over twenty-two, and she simply didn't have enough money.
The problem is that these things are all second-hand and difficult to clean, so she feels uncomfortable sleeping on them.
After much thought, Lin Shuyao decided not to buy these for now, but to make do with the wooden planks for a few days, and then buy new ones when she got her salary.
Finally, she chose a thermos, a toothbrush, two basins, two towels, and an alarm clock from the store to keep track of time.
I spent 22 yuan and still have a little over 2 yuan left.
There are still nearly twenty days until payday.
Good heavens, this money is really not enough.
Lin Shuyao carried her things back to the factory. On the way, she passed by the canteen and bought two steamed buns with two liang of fine grain coupons plus one mao.
She used the hot water from the enamel mug as her dinner.
the other side.
Get married.
Gao Tingting and Cheng Zheng arrived home one after the other.
She took her mother Gao Jie's surname, while Cheng Zheng took his father's surname.
"elder brother!"
Upon seeing her brother, Gao Tingting immediately thought of Lin Shuyao and excitedly ran over, "Did you see a woman named Shen Qing today?"
"What's wrong?" Cheng Zheng frowned slightly.
Gao Tingting gave him a gossipy look: "Nothing much, just, bro, what do you think of Comrade Shen Qing...?"
