The time of the city

Chapter 238 2 big families

one year later.

The scorching sun was high in the sky in the hot summer. In a rustic farmhouse kitchen, a girl with pigtails was skillfully adding firewood to the wood stove.

The fire was burning brightly. She poured the vegetables from the cutting board into the pot and kept stirring with a spatula. The temperature in the kitchen was very high. The girl's face was burned red and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. The girl raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve.

The fire crackled and blazed, its intensity blazing brightly, her eyes sparkling. The shovel clattered against the iron pot, creating a rhythmic sound. Sparks occasionally flew from the stove, but she was used to it, deftly adjusting the heat.

"Yuyu, go and have a rest. I'll do the cooking. You look so hot. The school is on summer vacation for you to rest, not to do housework. You're already tired enough from teaching." Aunt Luo walked into the kitchen in a hurry and said with concern, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand.

Mo Yu's face was filled with a bright smile. As she sprinkled the seasonings into the pot with precision, she responded, "I'm just an art teacher and I'm not tired. Aunt Luo, I'm resting, so how can I ask you to work? You shouldn't rest even more since you're not feeling well."

Aunt Luo stood beside Mo Yu, fanning her gently with a fan. The breeze brought a rare coolness. "Then let's stop cooking this dish. That's enough."

"I'll make two more dishes." Mo Yu deftly placed the cooked dishes on the plate. "Brother Daqiang is bringing his girlfriend home today, so I have to make something sumptuous to let my sister-in-law know that we value her. Besides, Brother Daqiang hasn't been home for seven or eight months."

Aunt Luo's eyes reddened slightly after hearing this, and her heart was filled with emotion: "Yuyu, you are so kind to Daqiang, and also to me and Xixi."

Mo Yu stopped what she was doing, turned around and smiled sweetly at Aunt Luo, "I already consider you family. If it weren't for Brother Daqiang saving me, I would have died long ago. If you had used the remaining money to treat my leg, I might have become a cripple. Xixi also ran around to bring me medicine and food during that time. It's because you are good to me that I am good to you."

Aunt Luo wiped the tears from her eyes, picked up the dishes Mo Yu had cooked, and walked out. She looked back and saw Mo Yu still busy in the kitchen.

She walked back and forth in the kitchen, but her right leg was obviously limping, and every step she took was accompanied by a barely noticeable stagger.

Aunt Luo sighed: "If only I had more money, I could have sent Yuyu to a hospital in the city instead of the village clinic. It's a pity that Yuyu lost a leg."

Soon, the food was ready and Su Daqiang and his girlfriend Liu Xiao arrived home.

As Mo Yu set the table, she warmly greeted them, "Brother Daqiang and sister-in-law, please sit down and eat. You must be exhausted."

"Mom, did you make all this?" Su Daqiang walked into the house and asked in surprise, looking at the table full of food.

"It was all done by Sister Yuyu." Xixi rushed to answer, her voice clear and pleasant.

"Call me Auntie." Aunt Luo pretended to be serious and tapped Wang Xi's head lightly with chopsticks.

Xixi stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Grandma, no, Sister Yuyu looks much younger than uncle."

Her words made everyone burst into laughter, and for a moment, the room was filled with laughter.

At the dinner table, Su Daqiang enthusiastically recounted his love story with Liu Xiao, gesticulating and gesturing with rich expressions. Mo Yu listened intently, her eyes curved into crescents, and she nodded in response from time to time.

Liu Xiao suddenly looked at Mo Yu and said sincerely, "Yu Yu is so beautiful. You will meet someone who likes you in the future."

Mo Yu just smiled and didn't answer.

She still remembered that she had run away from her marriage to find Xiao Hecheng, but she hadn't expected to be kidnapped by the two people who had sent her to the dock. Mo Yu still gets goosebumps when she thinks about what happened in that house.

After she escaped, she climbed onto a boat. Just when she thought she was going to die, she was rescued by Su Daqiang.

She had arrived at the most remote fishing village in E City in a daze. Fortunately, she was lucky. Aunt Luo, Su Daqiang's mother, took out all her remaining money to treat her leg. Although she walked with a limp now, she was very grateful to them.

She originally planned to go to Xiao Hecheng after her injury healed, and return the money to Aunt Luo doubled when she made some money. But when the debt collectors from Aunt Luo's family came, Su Daqiang had to go out to work with the villagers.

Before leaving, Su Daqiang asked Mo Yu to take good care of Aunt Luo and Xixi, so Mo Yu stayed there and became an art teacher at the village school.

Just as Mo Yu was lost in her memories, she vaguely heard Su Daqiang say, "There's also the Ni Corporation in City A." She snapped back to her senses and immediately asked, "Brother Daqiang, where do you work now?"

"Like I said just now, I work in an entertainment venue owned by Ni." Su Daqiang answered with a hint of pride on his face.

Mo Yu then asked, "That Ni?"

This question really got Su Daqiang excited. He immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, rolled up his sleeves, and cleared his throat, as if he was about to give an important speech.

"Yuyu, Mom and Xixi, let me tell you about my glorious struggle."

Xixi's eyes sparkled, and she was very supportive. She clapped and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, I want to listen."

"Someone came to collect a debt from my family back then, so I followed Goudan and Mazi from the village to a construction site in H City to move bricks. During that time, I met a boss. Maybe because I was handsome, the boss liked me very much, so he took me to A City and introduced me to a job at an entertainment venue. That's where I met Xiaoxiao."

Seeing that everyone was listening intently, Su Daqiang stood up, straightened his back, and spoke in an increasingly excited tone: "The entertainment venue I entered is not an ordinary one. It is the largest entertainment venue under the Ni family, one of the two major families in City A."

Mo Yu looked puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Two major families?"

"Yuyu, you may not know this since you haven't been to City A. I'm going to tell you about it today. I know a lot from working there. The two major families in City A are the Ni family and the Qiao family. I heard they said there were four major families before, but anyway, my big boss, President Ni, wiped out the other two families."

Mo Yu lowered her eyes and thought to herself: My brother has wiped out the other two families, and his career is so successful now. It seems that he has moved on, and he must be very happy.

Aunt Luo's face was full of curiosity, and she asked happily, "Have you met your boss?"

Su Daqiang shook his head helplessly: "How could I have seen him? I haven't even seen the person in charge of our entertainment venue, but I have seen photos of him and he is very handsome."

Hearing the word "handsome guy", Xixi instantly became energetic, her eyes shining: "Uncle handsome guy, I want to see, I want to see, do you have any photos?"

Su Daqiang quickly replied, "I do have one. I saved one before. Mom, come and see it with me."

Mo Yu pursed her lips, looking a little unnatural: "I...I won't watch it anymore. I'm done eating. I'll go into the house first."
