"Andy's co-worker?"
The woman hesitated for a few seconds, not really believing what Lin Shangzhou said. She looked Lin Shangzhou up and down. She felt that the man standing in front of the door was more likely to be Andy's boss than Andy's co-worker.
But she still chose to open the door, as she hadn't heard from her son for a long time.
She stood behind the door and said to Lin Shangzhou:
"I'm her mother, come in and talk."
Lin Shangzhou walked into the house and Letitia followed him in.
After entering the house, Lin Shangzhou observed the room. There was a lot of white space on the walls of the room, no other decorations, and the furniture was the most basic. The floor was a little damp, but the house was very clean. It can be seen that the lady was doing her best to keep the room tidy.
"Sit down, I'll get you some tea."
Andy's mother took out two chairs from under the table in the living room and said to the two of them, while she walked towards the kitchen.
"No need for tea, I have things to do. I'll leave after I give you the money."
Lin Shangzhou stopped Andy's mother, and she turned back.
There wasn't even a shabby sofa in the living room of Andy's house. There was only a dining table and chairs underneath.
Lin Shangzhou did not sit on the chair. He took out the money that Andy had given him that day from his pocket and handed it to Andy's mother. She wiped her hands on the blue apron that was washed pale in front of her, took the money, held it in her hand, and then looked at Lin Shangzhou and asked, "How is Andy doing in the factory?"
Her eyes were full of worry and longing for her son.
"Andy lives a good life. No one dares to bully him, and he doesn't bully others."
"It's good that no one bullies him..."
Andy's mother patted her chest lightly, looking relieved, and then said to him, "Can you please tell Andy a message?"
"Please tell me."
"Tell him to remember to go home and see his mother and his brothers and sisters who miss him."
"Okay, I understand. I'll tell him."
Lin Shangzhou nodded and kept Andy's mother's words in mind. At the same time, he was a little confused. The 29th and 30th of last month were Saturday and Sunday. Didn't Andy go home?
After saying goodbye to Andy's mother, he and Letitia returned to the car.
“That lady is really hard-working…”
Letitia said sympathetically.
"The factory's hourly wage has increased, and his family's situation will definitely get better in the future."
Lin Shangzhou said to her, then started the car and stepped on the accelerator to drive towards the factory.
"We'll go to your house later. Let's go to the factory first."
"Eh?"
When Letitia realized what was happening, she felt a little dissatisfied, but she just curled her lips and said nothing.
A few dozen minutes later, Lin Shangzhou drove to the factory gate.
After getting off the bus, he greeted the guard, who looked at him in surprise and stood up to open the door for him.
Seeing the guard about to open the door, Lin Shangzhou stopped him and said:
"There's no need to open the main door. Let's go in through the small door."
The guard nodded and opened a small door on the side.
Lin Shangzhou turned to Letitia and asked, "Do you want to go in with me?"
Letitia nodded and said:
"Let's go in and take a look. I want to see what this factory is like."
Then the two of them walked into the factory. Lin Shangzhou walked in the factory, looking at the familiar buildings and scenes, and recalled the days when he worked in the factory.
He saw that the exterior of the workers' dormitories and canteen had been renovated, but he had to go in and see what the interior was like.
He brought Letitia to the gate of Factory No. 1. He greeted the workers who spotted him, and then everyone knew he was here.
The machines were stopped and the workers left their posts and gathered around. Lin Shangzhou didn't expect everyone to welcome him so much.
The workers surrounded Lin Shangzhou and Letitia and greeted the former one after another. Of course, they also looked at Letitia curiously, guessing her identity in their hearts.
"Shang Zhou, who is this lady?"
Lin Wenhua asked curiously, then looked at Lin Shangzhou in confusion. Why did his brother come back with such a beautiful girl?
Lin Shangzhou smiled slightly, as if to reveal his identity, and also like a normal couple, he took Letitia's hand and said:
"Her name is Letitia, my girlfriend."
"Oh~~~"
The workers exclaimed and looked at the two of them with ambiguous eyes, and Letitia blushed. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at the workers. She did not expect Lin Shangzhou to suddenly hold her hand and say this. Even if he asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend, that was in front of her parents. What did he suddenly say in front of these workers?
"Okay, Shang Zhou, you are lucky to find such a beautiful German girl."
Lin Wenhua happily patted Lin Shangzhou on the shoulder and spoke in Chinese. Lin Shangzhou also replied in Chinese:
"You can do it later if you refuel."
Then he waved to Andy, motioning him to come over.
After Andy came over, Lin Shangzhou asked, "Andy, did you not go home last Saturday and Sunday?"
When Andy came over, he didn't answer Lin Shangzhou's question, but greeted Letitia first.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
His words "sister-in-law" made Letitia, who had recovered a little, blush again. Andy smiled and said to Lin Shangzhou:
"Brother Fritz, I worked overtime last Saturday and Sunday. Didn't they say that overtime pay is triple? I didn't go home because I wanted to earn more money."
"You…"
Lin Shangzhou rolled his eyes at him and said seriously, "Don't laugh. I just came from your house. Your mother asked me to bring you a message."
After hearing what Lin Shangzhou said, the smile on Andy's face disappeared and he looked at Lin Shangzhou seriously.
"Your mother said that she and your brothers and sisters miss you, and asked you to remember to go home. There will be many opportunities to make money in the future, and the time you spend with your family will only get less and less. Go home this Saturday and Sunday to spend time with your family, and don't work overtime."
"Well, I understand. Thank you, Brother Fritz."
Andy nodded vigorously. The other workers were also saying something to Andy, some were persuading him, some were blaming him.
After chatting with the workers for a few more words, he left with Letitia. Before leaving, Lin Wenhua asked him if he wanted to go see the others. He thought about it and shook his head. He still had to go to Letitia's house next. If he delayed her any longer, the girl would definitely be unhappy.
After returning to the car, Letitia turned her head and looked at him angrily and asked: "Why did you suddenly do that just now? It's so embarrassing!"
"Oh, this is called getting into the role, do you understand?"
Lin Shangzhou shrugged and said, "Your face has turned red just because we held hands. When we meet your parents, we will definitely have more intimate contact. If you are still so shy by then, your parents may be able to tell that we are not a couple."
"Besides, since you asked me for help, I naturally have to take responsibility and help you through this difficult time."
"It's rare to find a girl like you who has the courage to defy her parents. I can't let you get locked up again after escaping from the cage with such great difficulty."
This was a big part of the reason why Lin Shangzhou agreed to help Letitia. He also understood why Letitia was so reluctant to write to her parents that day and why she was reluctant to exchange identities with them.
He didn't want to see Letitia lose her freedom again because of something like this.
Letitia lowered her head and whispered, "Then you can't just say I'm your girlfriend in front of so many people. Even if I really am your girlfriend, I will still be shy..."
Lin Shangzhou gave her a wicked smile and said, "Hehe, I won't help you for nothing."
"Be prepared for today. There will be a lot more to come when you meet your parents."
Letitia reached out and pinched Lin Shangzhou's waist hard, causing him to scream in pain.
"Why did you pinch me suddenly?"
"you deserve it."
After taking back his hand, Letitia felt better. Lin Shangzhou stopped talking to provoke the girl, for he was afraid that he would be pinched again.
Then, under the guidance of Letitia, Lin Shangzhou drove out of the city and came to the road on the outskirts of the city. Next was a long straight road, so he did not need Letitia's guidance.
Lin Shangzhou concentrated on driving. Letitia looked at the scenery outside the window and then turned her head to look at Lin Shangzhou's face.
She remembered clearly what Lin Shangzhou said not long ago.
"You asked me for help, so I naturally have to take responsibility and help you through this difficult time."
"It's rare to find a girl like you who has the courage to defy her parents. I can't let you get locked up again after escaping from the cage with such great difficulty."
These two sentences echoed in her heart, and her cheeks were covered with a layer of red again. After realizing the change in herself, Letitia quickly looked away and turned her head to the other side to look at the scenery outside.
.
Chapter 56: Going Out (Part )
Dozens of minutes later, Lin Shangzhou brought Letitia to the town where her home was. He didn't care what the town was called. After all, it didn't matter. It was just an inconspicuous town.
The town was just an ordinary German town. Under Letitia's guidance, he drove to Letitia's home - a mansion.
The mansion is surrounded by a not-too-large garden, and such a house is quite impressive in a small town.
After seeing the mansion, Lin Shangzhou realized that the girl next to him was also a young lady.
"Is this your home?"
After getting off the car, Lin Shangzhou pointed at the gate and asked.
Letitia nodded and said:
"Yeah, my house, come on, let's go in."
The gatekeeper opened the door when they got off the car, and Lin Shangzhou followed Letitia in.
After entering the gate, the two walked on the path to the house. Letitia said as she walked, "Don't look at my house because it's big. In fact, it's the only thing that's big now."
"What do you mean?"
"My dad is broke, so he spent his money on investments like he was doing charity, but he didn't make any money, and now he has very little money left."
"The money he had left was enough for him and my mother to live a stable life, but he still wanted to invest to make a lot of money. Some time ago, he invested in a tractor factory with others, but the profit was not good, which was almost the same as losing money."
"Then he set his sights on me. There was another wealthy businessman in town who liked to invest just like my father. He made money on every investment he made, but my father lost money on every investment he made. The businessman's son hadn't gotten married yet, so my father secretly arranged a marriage for us while I was away. My mother did the same. When I got home that day, she kept persuading me to agree to this marriage, which made me so angry!"
Letitia spoke angrily, and became angrier and angrier. She finally kicked the grass in the garden a few times before she calmed down.
"Then your father is really too much."
Lin Shangzhou said that he guessed Letitia's father saw another wealthy businessman making a lot of money by investing, so he also wanted to invest to make money. However, the other businessman had talent, but he did not, so he lost money on every investment he made.
He was also disgusted by the behavior of trading his daughter as a commodity. No matter what, he wanted to help Letitia break free from the control of her parents.
Arriving at the door of the mansion, Letitia turned around and looked at Lin Shangzhou worriedly.
"What's wrong? Are you scared suddenly?"
"No."
Letitia shook her head and said worriedly
"I'm worried about what I'd do if my parents suddenly asked you to pay money. They would definitely ask you to pay money with excuses like 'You're my son-in-law now, so it's okay for you to support me, right?' And the amount would definitely be huge. They would definitely ask about your identity. You're just an employee of a newspaper, so they probably wouldn't think highly of you."
Lin Shangzhou patted his pocket and said, "Money, as long as your father doesn't ask for tens of thousands of marks, there's nothing to worry about."
"As for your status...if your father wasn't so demanding, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, I have a promising future now."
However, although Lin Shangzhou said that he didn't need to worry about the money, he was actually worried about the money. After all, if her father really treated him as her mother's son and kept pulling him out until he was bald, he would have no place to cry because Letitia would not be able to pay him back several thousand marks.
At that time, he would really have to treat Letitia as his girlfriend, even if she was unwilling.
Letitia opened the door and walked into the house, and Lin Shangzhou followed her in.
When Lin Shangzhou entered the house, he heard the sound of conversation. Looking into the living room, he saw a middle-aged man and a young man sitting on the sofa and talking. Next to the middle-aged man was a woman who looked somewhat similar to Letitia.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Letitia said to her parents. Her father just looked up at her and continued to talk to the young man beside him, looking unwelcome. Her mother stood up and greeted her with a loving face. After noticing Lin Shangzhou behind her, her expression changed a little, but she still pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "You must be Fritz, come and sit down."
"Thank you auntie."
