After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 247 Peace of mind

The other four roommates came back very late, and Xiaofang was already asleep by then.

Guan Lei couldn't sleep because she was worried, and she kept listening to them discussing popular clothes and hairstyles, as well as the handsome guys and rich people they met in the hotel.

It was not until the second half of the night that she fell into a drowsy sleep. In her dream, Sister Wang had a gloomy face and was pinching her neck, saying that Zhao Yang owed a large sum of money to "Xiaochanyuan" and asked her to pay it back.

She struggled and said she didn't know about it.

Sister Wang increased the strength of her hands ferociously, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

She suddenly turned over and touched her cold forehead, only then did she realize that it was just a dream.

The night is very quiet.

A ray of moonlight as bright as water shines in through the thin curtains.

This is definitely not true. If Zhao Yang really owed them money, how could he introduce her here?

Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, slowly lay down, and fell asleep again.

The next morning, Guan Lei was woken up by Xiaofang.

"Let's go. I'll take you to buy some things. We have to go to work at ten o'clock." Xiaofang said in a low voice.

Guan Lei got up and looked around. The other four people were still sleeping, so she tiptoed down from the iron railings of the bunk bed.

After washing up, Guan Lei felt a little hungry, so she asked what she wanted for breakfast.

"The hotel doesn't provide breakfast, but there is a one-dollar breakfast subsidy every day." Xiaofang combed her hair, looked in the mirror, and said, "But we usually don't eat it to save money."

"Didn't you tell me yesterday not to mistreat myself?"

Xiaofang giggled and said, "Leave some money for a midnight snack. Besides, we usually get up at 9:40, so we can have lunch after working for a while."

Guan Lei nodded.

"Are you hungry? If you are, I'll take you to eat. There's a breakfast stall at the door."

"Not hungry."

Guan Lei could only say this. She was really embarrassed to borrow money from Xiaofang. She had previously thought that free food and accommodation included everything, but she didn't expect that she still had to buy those personal items herself.

She planned to talk to her boss, Sister Wang, when she went to work today to see if she could get an advance on part of her salary.

Intuitively, she felt that the proprietress was a nice person and would help her.

"Xiao Fang, can I borrow your washbasin again tonight? I'm feeling a little under the weather and would like to buy one tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go another day." Xiaofang said cheerfully, "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"No, I'm going to go out and buy some medicine."

"Then I'll go with you."

"It's okay. I just saw it. The pharmacy is just opposite our hotel. I can go there by myself."

"Okay then. Be careful. You will be at work at 10 o'clock and you need to be at the store at 9:55. Don't be late."

"it is good."

Walking out of the dormitory alley, Guan Lei took a deep breath.

She wanted to go to the restaurant early to see the proprietress.

As she walked up the steps of the restaurant, she heard a familiar voice.

"Leilei."

She turned around and saw that it was her mother Zhang Caihe.

Her mother was carrying a basket and probably just came from the vegetable market.

"Leilei, is it really you? Why are you here so early in the morning? I was wondering why no one answered my call yesterday."

"Mom, I work in this restaurant and I just came up yesterday. When did you come up?"

"I came here yesterday too. You haven't told me why you want to work here? Did Zhao Yang ask you to come? You're still pregnant, how can you work?"

"No, mom, I wanted to come here on my own. I heard from the doctor that I should still exercise properly during pregnancy, which is also good for the fetus."

Zhang Caihe looked at her suspiciously and said, "Leilei, don't hide anything from your mother. Tell me, is it Zhao Yang's mother who bullied you?"

"No, Mom, don't think too much. I just felt it was too boring to stay at home all the time. Zhao Yang and the others didn't agree at first, and they only agreed after I begged them for a long time."

"Okay, then you give it a try. If the work is too tiring, don't do it. Your health is more important."

"Got it, Mom. By the way, do you have any money on you? Give me some. I was unlucky yesterday. My wallet was stolen as soon as I got off the car."

"Ah? My wallet was stolen? Who would do such a wicked thing? How much was stolen?" Zhang Caihe moved the basket to her other arm and began to feel her trouser pockets.

"Not much, just a dozen dollars."

"I don't have much on me, only seven or eight yuan. Take it first, and I'll give it to you when I get my salary." Zhang Caihe took out three two-yuan bills and handed them to Guan Lei one by one.

I left myself a few dimes in odd lots.

"Mom, then you should get busy. I'll come find you when I'm on vacation. I think you said before that you live in the community near the water and electricity bureau, right?"

"Yes, yes, then go in. Be careful when you do the work, don't tire yourself out, and don't do it if you don't want to. Do you hear me?"

"I know, Mom."

With the seven dollars given by her mother, Guan Lei felt at ease.

She went to the small shop across the street and bought two basins, two towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes and some other daily necessities.

She wanted to buy herself a better bottle of shampoo, but unfortunately she didn't have enough money, so she could only buy a pack of 2-cent shampoo.

It’s not too late to buy it after my mother gets her salary.

Guan Lei brought these things into the dormitory. Xiao Fang was surprised: "Didn't you go to get medicine? Why are you buying things again?"

“I just bought it by the way.”

"Have you got the medicine? I have some water in my thermos. I'll pour it for you."

"No, I went out for a walk and now I feel much better than before. My headache is gone."

"Oh, maybe you didn't sleep well. Go to bed early tonight."

Guan Lei nodded and went to the restaurant first.

The boss lady helped her so much yesterday, she must seize this opportunity to perform well.

It was still early and the restaurant was empty.

Guan Lei took out the key from under the carpet at the door and opened the door.

Guan Lei first swept the floor carefully. The "Little Courtyard" was not small, about one thousand square meters, and there were a lot of tables and chairs. It took her half an hour just to sweep the floor.

Guan Lei felt very tired after bending over for a long time.

But compared with the frustration I felt in the Zhao family, what did this matter?

She straightened up and pressed her lower back.

The proprietress came in carrying a bag.

"Guan Lei? You're here early?"

"Morning, Sister Wang."

"Well, how is it? Are you used to it?"

"It's good. I like this job very much." Guan Lei said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Wang, for giving me this opportunity."

"If you like it, do it well. Don't worry, as long as you do well, Sister Wang will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Sister Wang. I'll get on with my work then."

"it is good."

Guan Lei felt very happy. If she continued like this, maybe one day she would be able to make a name for herself in the world.
