lady she comes from 1938

Chapter 218 It’s hard to calm down

Half an hour later, Shen Jiayin parked the car in a parking lot about a hundred meters away from the bus station, and then walked over to find someone.

Through the glass window of the restaurant, Shen Jiayin recognized Zhang Qingqing at a glance.

He was skinny, frail, with dry and gray hair, ill-fitting clothes, uneasy body reactions, and a pair of eyes that were both curious and defensive. Most importantly, the left side of his face was swollen, and it was obvious that he had been beaten.

Shen Jiayin walked in and sat down opposite her. She was immediately startled, and then her body tensed up and she stared at her with her round eyes in a very defensive manner.

"Zhang Qingqing?"

"You are Sister Shen Jiayin?"

Shen Jiayin nodded, pulled down her mask to show her her face, and then pulled it back up. Then, she picked up her phone and called the number back.

Zhang Qingqing was relieved when she heard her cell phone ringing. Her nose suddenly felt sore and she felt like crying.

She left home with the little money she had saved from secretly picking up waste, and took a bus to this strange city. She was also scared.

All along the way, she was thinking, if she arrived in Jincheng and couldn't contact Sister Shen, or if Sister Shen didn't care about her at all, what should she do then? Can she find a job and earn money to support herself?
Even during the half hour that Shen Jiayin asked her to wait in the restaurant, she was still confused, afraid that Shen Jiayin would regret it and not show up in the end.

Fortunately, she came.

Until this moment, Zhang Qingqing's nerves, which had been stretched to the point of breaking, could finally relax, and with them came fatigue and sadness.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Shen Jiayin probably understood her mood at the moment, but this was not the place to talk, so she took her to the parking lot first.

When she got in the car, Zhang Qingqing felt even more uneasy. She kept looking at her clothes, afraid that something on her was dirty and that she would dirty the car as well.

Shen Jiayin took out some bread and pastries from the storage compartment and handed them to her. These were brought by Han Yiran.

Zhang Qingqing waved her hands repeatedly. "No, no need."

"The shelf life of these breads is only two days. If you don't eat them today, you will have to throw them away tomorrow."

Zhang Qingqing then took it with both hands and said, "Thank you."

"It's a little late today. I'll take you to your accommodation first, you can settle down first. If you have any questions, we can talk about it tomorrow, okay?"

Shen Jiayin had already called Han Yiran on the way and asked Zhang Qingqing to stay at her place for a few days.

Han Yiran had no objection, since she had her own room and the bed was big enough.

Zhang Qingqing nodded obediently. Being here, she had someone to take care of her and didn't have to live on the streets. This was the best outcome.

Shen Jiayin turned on the speaker again and played some soothing music.

Zhang Qingqing listened to music and ate delicious bread, and slowly relaxed.

Shen Jiayin chatted with her in a casual manner and unknowingly got a lot of information from her.

At this time, Han Yiran was still in the store.

Shen Jiayin simply took a detour, picked her up from the store, and then sent them home together.

"This is Zhang Qingqing. Qingqing, this is Han Yiran. The bread you just ate was made by her."

Han Yiran smiled and waved her hand. "Qingqing, hello. Did Sister Shen tell you that I am also from Dong'an Town?"

Zhang Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Which village are you from?"

"From Sifang Village. You may not know me, but you must know my uncle. He runs a small clinic in town."

Zhang Qingqing reacted immediately: "Are you talking about Doctor Han?"

"Correct."

"Dr. Han is a skilled doctor and is very kind to his patients. There should be few people in our area who don't know him."

When Han Yiran heard others praising her uncle, she immediately smiled and was even happier than when someone praised her.

"By the way, do you think the bread I made tastes okay? Is there anything that needs to be improved?"

"No, it's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious bread."

Zhang Qingqing ate all the bread until she was full. Although part of the reason was that she didn't want to waste it, it was also because it was really delicious.

"Haha, yeah." Han Yiran put his arm around her shoulders. "I think my skills are pretty good. Do you like baking? Are you interested in becoming my apprentice? I'll accept you as my apprentice for free."

Shen Jiayin smiled when she heard this, knowing that Han Yiran wanted Zhang Qingqing to relax a little.

Sure enough, after "communication" along the way, when we got off the bus, Zhang Qingqing was already calling her "Sister Yiran" all the time.

Shen Jiayin handed the person over to Han Yiran with confidence, and drove home to take a shower and go to bed.

Although youth is an asset, you can’t be too pretentious, otherwise your skin and body will deteriorate.

The next morning, Shen Jiayin called Chang Chunyan and learned about Zhang Qingqing's situation from her.

Zhang Qingqing lost her mother when she was 5 years old. Her father Zhang Ping soon married a stepmother and had a younger brother.

Stepmother Li Xiaoyu and Zhang Ping were lovers before, but their families disagreed. Under pressure from their families, Zhang Ping married Zhang Qingqing's mother He Min.

The Zhang family favored boys over girls. After He Min gave birth to Zhang Qingqing, she became pregnant with two more children, but both were aborted because her parents-in-law determined they were girls. The third time, she suffered a heavy hemorrhage due to improper medication abortion and unfortunately lost her life.

Li Xiaoyu also married another man, but the man she married had a bad temper and was violent. She even aborted her four-month-old pregnancy.

Later, when both of them became widows, they got back together.

Li Xiaoyu soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son. In such a family that favors boys over girls, she naturally gained a foothold quickly.

For the sufferings she had endured, Li Xiaoyu did not blame fate, her parents, or Zhang Ping, but put all the blame on He Min.

Zhang Qingqing looked especially like her mother, so naturally Li Xiaoyu disliked her more and more. At first, she just had a bad attitude towards her and ordered the young girl to do this and that. Later, it developed to the point where there was endless work to do every day, and she would beat and scold her at any time.

Grandpa and grandma were patriarchal and completely acquiesced to Zhang Qingqing's plight, and sometimes even helped her to do evil.

Dad works outside and seldom comes back. When he finally comes back, he is only with my stepmother and younger brother. Even the gifts he brings back rarely get any for Zhang Qingqing, as if he has forgotten that he has a daughter.

If it weren't for the nine years of compulsory education, Zhang Qingqing might not even be able to go to elementary school.

In fact, they made her drop out of school once, and it was only after the teacher came and said that this was illegal that Zhang Qingqing returned to school.

"She will graduate from junior high school in one semester. She told me that after graduation she would go to the city to work and never come back. But why did she go to Jincheng at this time? I really don't know."

"I understand. I'll take care of the rest."

"Sister Shen, will this cause you a lot of trouble?"

"Of course not. Don't worry, your sister Shen is very capable."

Chang Chunyan immediately said "hmm" twice, "Sister Shen is the best and the most amazing!"

"Flattering is useless. No matter how well you flatter me, I will not let Dr. Huang go easy on the assessment scores."

In fact, before the Chinese New Year, Dr. Huang tested all the children who studied with him, and all of them passed with flying colors.

Chang Chunyan's performance was particularly outstanding.

Chang Chunyan pretended to be anxious and said a few words to ask for help, but soon she couldn't help laughing and looked very happy.

Shen Jiayin was also infected by her and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

No wonder people often say that whether a person is living a good or bad life, it cannot be hidden.

For Chang Chunyan, her father is busy and happy every day, she has returned to school, and has learned a lot of Chinese medicine knowledge from Dr. Huang. As long as she persists, the future will definitely be bright. This kind of life is better than she ever dreamed, and there is really no reason to be unhappy.

The two chatted for a while, and then Chang Chunyan hung up the phone happily.

"Sister Shen, I will continue to work hard! Goodbye, Sister Shen!"

"Goodbye."

As soon as she cut off the call, Han Yiran called again.

The two of them slept in the same bed for one night, and she found out everything about Zhang Qingqing.

"She was nearly raped by her stepmother's cousin. In desperation, she grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed the man's arm, causing a big mess. As a result, the man turned black into white, saying that she was the one who seduced him. Her stepmother naturally would not protect her, and she even helped the beastly cousin to slander her. She thought her father would seek justice for her, but she didn't expect that her father would not only not believe her, but also called her shameless. When her father heard that she insisted on calling the police, he slapped her hard and threatened to cut off all ties with her."

Shen Jiayin frowned upon hearing this.

It turns out that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather!
This slap probably shattered the little girl's remaining hope and family affection, so she ran out without caring about anything.

Han Yiran was indignant: "Sister Shen, how can there be such a disgusting person? People like this don't deserve to have children! God should make them childless!"

Shen Jiayin agreed.

It would be great if people with bad character were to have no descendants.

Unfortunately, God doesn't care about such things.

Many people who are worse than animals have become parents, while there are many kind-hearted people who want to have a child but cannot get one. It is really frustrating.

"Is Zhang Qingqing okay?"

"She cried when she told me, but she felt better after that. By the way, she came to the store with me. Do you want to come over?"

"I have to go to the crew soon, so I'll go there in the evening. It's a good opportunity for you to talk to her more and see what she thinks about the future."

The little girl was not yet sixteen years old, so it was best for her to return to school. But if she insisted on learning a skill, Shen Jiayin had no objection.

On the premise of avoiding conflict, Shen Jiayin still wants to respect the other party's ideas as much as possible.

"Okay. Just leave this task to me."

When Shen Jiayin had packed up and was about to drive off, she suddenly received a call from Ouyang Hai.

Ouyang Hai opened his mouth and said, "Boss Shen, something happened!"
