Chapter 304 Call the police to arrest someone
"What are you arguing about? Shut up! Lao Ding, watch them! If anyone dares to make any more noise, call the police!"
"Aren't you afraid of going to the detention center and eating half-grain buns? Just keep on making noises."
Jiang Tian and Jiang Cheng, brother and sister, pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
Seeing a middle-aged woman in a coarse cloth gown and with a mean face holding Liu Xiangmei from their store tightly, Jiang Tian strode over and pulled Liu Xiangmei to her side without saying a word.
The middle-aged woman never expected that this little girl who looked easy to bully would actually try to snatch the person from her without saying a word, and she succeeded in doing so. She immediately flew into a rage, jumped up and started to curse.
Jiang Tian was just waiting for her to do this.
As soon as the woman cursed, Jiang Tian yelled, "Old Ding, call the police and arrest him!"
The scene was instantly muted.
Liu Xiangmei's mother was like an old duck with its neck pinched, stretching her neck and her face flushed.
Seeing that the store security guard actually called the police, the woman quickly screamed:
"Why call the police? I'm her biological mother. A biological mother is looking for her own daughter. My daughter didn't sell herself to your store. You, you have no right to interfere!"
Jiang Tian laughed: "Your daughter? Classmate Liu is an employee of our store now. It's her working hours now, so she should be under the management of me as the boss. You want to manage your daughter? Wait until she gets off work!"
Having said that, he grabbed Liu Xiangmei's arm and dragged her into the store like a black-hearted and unscrupulous capitalist.
She looked like a bully boss, which frightened the onlookers around her.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed true.
Even if you are the girl's biological mother, the boss spends money to hire your daughter to work in the store, not to let her chat with relatives in front of the store during working hours and affect the business.
If everyone does this, which store will dare to hire people in the future?
This is not just spending money to hire a clerk, this is spending money to hire an ancestor, right?
Liu Xiangmei originally thought that if her mother came to her house this time, she would be skinned alive even if she didn't die.
Unexpectedly, before her mother could use her unique trick of "crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to commit suicide", she was suppressed by the boss with just a few words.
He also rescued her from her biological mother.
"Thank you, young boss. I...I have caused trouble for the store." Liu Xiangmei apologized to Jiang Tian in a crying voice.
Jiang Tian saw that her forehead was still covered with beads of sweat from delivering the takeaway, mixed with the tears on her face and the dust from the road. Her face was almost turning into that of a little cat. She sighed, took out her handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped her face.
Then he asked her what was going on.
The two were standing at the counter and talking, with a group of people surrounding them. Jiang Tian didn't even notice that Han Jisong's grandparents were also eating in the restaurant.
Jiang Tian was blocking the door. The old man and his wife had originally come to the store secretly without her knowing. Now she couldn't leave, so she had to sit quietly in the corner, waiting for the crowd to disperse, and then find a chance to sneak away.
Liu Xiangmei wiped her tears and explained what had happened to Jiang Tian.
The one who was pulling her just now was her mother Feng Xiuhua, and the one who was blocking the store door and not letting her in was her brother Liu Jinlong.
Liu Xiangmei is not Feng Xiuhua's biological daughter. To be precise, she should be considered Feng Xiuhua's niece and the cousin of her brother Liu Jinlong.
Twenty years ago, Feng Xiuhua's sister-in-law gave birth to her third daughter, but the couple didn't want the child and wanted to give the girl away.
It happened that Feng Xiuhua had a difficult labor when giving birth to her eldest son. In order to save her life, she had to agree to have her uterus removed and could never give birth again. When she heard that her eldest sister-in-law had given birth to a daughter, she had evil thoughts and thought of taking her niece home and raising her up so that she could exchange her with another family. At that time, she could get a daughter-in-law for her son without spending much money.
In this way, Liu Xiangmei changed from a niece to a daughter.
Originally, according to Feng Xiuhua's idea, after her niece graduated from junior high school and obtained her junior high school diploma, she could sell it for a better price.
But she didn't know that Liu Xiangmei was born to be a student. From elementary school to junior high school, she had always been the top student in the school. During the high school entrance examination, she ranked fifth in the county and was admitted to the highest high school in the county.
Now, Feng Xiuhua wanted to stop her niece from going to school, but the county middle school did not agree.
Feng Xiuhua wanted to use her family's poor financial situation as an excuse and refused to afford the tuition and accommodation fees for the first year of high school. However, she did not expect that the county middle school would waive all of Liu Xiangmei's tuition and accommodation fees in order to retain this promising student.
She also receives a scholarship every year for her to use as living expenses.
Liu Xiangmei also worked hard to do well. After entering high school, she not only ranked among the top ten in the school every year, but also worked part-time during the winter and summer vacations to earn her living expenses.
Even so, Feng Xiuhua went to the school to make trouble several times, saying either that she was sick or her husband was sick. In short, there was no one to do the housework, so she asked her daughter to stop going to school and go home to help with the housework.
I don’t know if it’s because I cursed myself too much, but the old couple were in good health. Ever since Feng Xiuhua started saying that she and her husband were “sick,” gradually, the couple began to suffer from major and minor illnesses.
This went on for three years, and Liu Xiangmei was admitted to the University of Foreign Languages.
She knew that her family would not give her a penny for tuition, so in order to go to college, during the summer vacation after her senior year of high school, she shaved her head into a buzz cut, pretended to be a boy, and went to a construction site to move bricks for two months before she could raise enough money for tuition.
The first semester of her freshman year was the most difficult half year for Liu Xiangmei. After paying tuition, she had only one dollar and thirty cents left in her pocket. School had just started, and she couldn't go to the construction site to move bricks like she did during the summer vacation. Liu Xiangmei could only eat two meals a day, each consisting of a steamed bun, and then she had to drink the free soup in the cafeteria.
Liu Xiangmei originally thought that she would have to live with cornmeal buns that cost only one cent each for four years in college. Unexpectedly, in the second semester of her sophomore year, she would live a good life with no worries about food and drink.
Everything turned around and started from this "Sister Fang Fast Food Restaurant".
At that time, Liu Xiangmei didn’t know what “takeout delivery” meant. When she saw the words “lunch and dinner included” written on the small blackboard in the store, she rushed in without hesitation.
Liu Xiangmei originally thought that the two meals provided by the restaurant were the same as on the construction site before, which consisted of steamed buns made of whole grains and boiled vegetables.
Unexpectedly, the boss of the fast food restaurant was very kind. The food they were given was the leftovers from the restaurant, but they were all clean and contained meat, vegetables and soup.
She even got to eat fish and shrimp a few times!
Liu Xiangmei used to be so thin that she could be blown away by a gust of wind. After working as a delivery girl at Fangjie's fast food restaurant, she gained more than ten pounds in less than a year, and her complexion became more rosy than before.
However, it was precisely because she looked like she was doing well in school that her adoptive mother became suspicious, thinking that she had made money outside, which led to today's farce.
