The man pulled the right corner of his mouth and brushed the loose hair on his forehead in a casual manner.

"Liuzhi, it's hard to imagine that you, a city person, have lived in this poor little town."

Yang Liuzhi felt extremely unwilling to accept the past when she thought of those green years.

"At that time, I was still young and thought that all the people working in factories in the city had urban hukou. So I got hurt!

Why are you still talking about this? We still have business to do. Wait here for me.

As he said that, he carried his bag and walked into the restaurant.

Su Xiaoling had just put on an apron and was washing vegetables. It was not yet time for lunch when the proprietress saw someone coming in.

With the call of "Xiaoling!", the proprietress saw Xiaoling's young mother coming, and she immediately blocked the way.

"It's working hours now. If you need anything from Xiaoling, you have to wait until she gets off work."

Yang Liuzhi pushed the proprietress aside and said, "I didn't sell my Xiaoling to you. Even if she works for you, she has the right to see her mother!"

Hearing the noise, Xiaoling turned around, but she didn't move forward.

Yang Liuzhi smiled at her daughter and took out a plaid skirt from her bag.

"Xiaoling, what do you think of this skirt? Mom bought it for you. Don't be angry with Mom anymore. Last time I came back in a hurry, I didn't prepare anything."

When the hotel owner saw that the man was there to deliver clothes, she softened her attitude a bit.

"This time, you still act like a mother. You raised your daughter for nothing, so you can't be so stingy. In the future, when you save some money, spend more on your daughter and dress Xiaoling up like a beautiful flower. You will also be proud of it!"

As she said that, the proprietress took over the work in her hands and went to wash the vegetables herself.

Lidya Su took a look and lowered her head again, “Then put your skirt on the table, I have something else to do here.”

She originally wanted to refuse, but it was the first time Xiaoling received a gift from her mother, and the dress was really beautiful.

Xiaoling really wants to stay.

Seeing that her daughter's reaction had obviously softened, Yang Liuzhi immediately pulled Xiaoling aside.

He gently touched his daughter's black hair with his fingers.

"After all, she's not my biological daughter. She's only 17 years old, and already working as a vegetable washer in a restaurant. In less than two years, your hands will be as rough as a woman's.

Listen to me, and live with me from now on. I won’t let you do anything.”

Xiaoling retracted her hand when she heard this, "Mom, I won't go with you, and there's no need for you to say such harsh words. My family treats me very well.

My aunt buys me a lot of gifts every year."

The little girl has a simple mind. Her mother will definitely come to buy her gifts in the future, and it is inevitable that she will run into Yi Yang's mother.

If only the two of them could get along peacefully.

Yang Liuzhi sneered, "She bought you some worthless things and you bought her off? You're so naive. Come on, Mom will take you shopping and buy some things."

Xiaoling glanced at the kitchen and shook her head, "Mom, business is about to start, I'd better not go."

Yang Liuzhi took Xiaoling's hand and walked out directly. "It's rare for Mom to come back, so you can take half a day off today and go shopping with me for a while. I'll buy you some things."

The proprietress chased after her and called out, "Xiaoling, please don't go too far. Come back and help us soon."

Yang Liuzhi waved her hands impatiently, "Got it!"

As he said that, he pulled Xiaoling towards the busy part of the street.

The man in the alley followed immediately when he saw the person being brought out.

After walking down a street, Yang Liuzhi took Xiaoling into a shoe store and bought her a pair of brand new red leather shoes.

Then he threw away Xiaoling's cloth shoes.

After walking out of the shoe store, they arrived at the entrance of the cinema. Xiaoling thought her mother was taking her to see a movie, and she felt very excited.

As a result, they walked to a van nearby, the door suddenly opened, and Yang Liuzhi pushed Xiaoling into the car.

"Get in the car and take a walk around the county with me. I'll take you to your grandmother's house to get acquainted with her."

Xiaoling shrank back, "Mom, I can't go far. We need to change and start business soon. Our boss lady and Aunt Qin are too busy to handle it."

The willow branches blocked the way and gestured inside.

While Su Xiaoling was trying to resist, she saw a big hand reaching out from the car and lifting her up.

Su Xiaoling had just stood firmly in the car when she saw a man wearing big, wide sunglasses, holding a cigarette and grinning at him.

"Xiaoling, right? I'm your father."

Faced with this sudden change, Su Xiaoling felt goosebumps all over her body.

"You are not my father. My father is out there making money."

The man didn't care at all and took out a hundred-dollar bill from his trouser pocket, "Call me dad quickly, this is my gift to you!"

This new version of the 100-yuan note had just come out. Su Xiaoling stared at the money. She wanted the money but didn't want to call her dad.

Yang Liuzhi grabbed the money and stuffed it into her daughter's pocket.

"Just give it if you can. Why force the child to do anything?"

The man saw Yang Liuzhi's protective look and flicked the ash from his cigarette. "After all these years with you, I love it most when you act so arrogantly in front of me! Hehehehe!"

Anyway, today's mission is completed, so he is willing to pamper Yang Liuzhi.

Seeing Lidya Su’s wary eyes, the man turned his head and said, “Sit tight, I’m going to drive.”

This was an old second-hand van. It bumped along the way to the county. When the car stopped at the side of a street, Su Xiaoling found that this place was very familiar.

The further she went inside, the more vivid her memories became.

It wasn't until they entered a house and saw the short and fat old woman that Su Xiaoling was quite surprised.

When her father first went out to work, he brought her and Yi Yang here.

At that time, he felt that his father's expression was a little strange, and then his thoughts were interrupted by this old woman.

The old woman cursed them viciously and got very angry when she saw them.

Especially that vicious look, which kept lingering on Brother Yi Yang's face.

At that time, they thought that the old woman was mentally ill and had an epileptic seizure.

So this is my grandma, no wonder!

The old woman glanced at Xiaoling sideways, then glared at her daughter fiercely.

"You've been hanging out outside all day long. I raised you up, but you haven't enjoyed any happiness. How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Yang Liuzhi immediately made amends with a smile, "We came back to have lunch and then left. We are busy with business outside and don't have time to delay."

The old woman immediately got angry. "Oh my god, what big business are you doing? I haven't seen your money from the beginning to the end of the year, and you're still doing business? Hehe."

The man who followed in immediately stuffed three big unity notes into the bag and handed them to the old woman.

"Mother-in-law, these 30 yuan are our meal money. I'll ask Liuzhi to come back and honor you when she's free."

The old woman grabbed the 30 yuan and put it in her pocket, then went back to the kitchen to work with satisfaction.

30 yuan for three mouths is indeed a good deal.

The old woman didn't bother with their business anymore.
