Chapter 55: Fight for your dignity!
"Don't go. My brother has many scars on his face, arms, and hands. He doesn't want to be seen. Wait for a while until he calms down."
Chang Ying sighed, "Chang Jia, I really think there is no one better than Mr. Cui in this world, but why is he so unlucky?"
Uncle Cui is what Chang Ying calls Cui Wenquan.
Although Cui Wenquan is a businessman, he is pure and kind-hearted, without any bad intentions. He is willing to help anyone who comes to him in trouble. He often says that his journey has been so smooth, it must be God's blessing, so he must do more good deeds.
But Cui Wenquan didn't know that his so-called "God" was nothing more than a cannon fodder character arbitrarily set up by others!
"There's nothing we can do. Now that it's happened, let's face it positively."
Cui Changjia said that he was taking Chang Ying for a ride, but in fact they didn't ride for long before they stopped in front of a chain hamburger restaurant.
In the early 2000s, there were very few shops in the state capital that were open until the early morning, so after nine o'clock, there were still quite a lot of people in the hamburger shop, basically all young people.
Cui Changjia ordered two glasses of Jiuzhen juice and took them over. He found a seat in the corner and sat down.
"Here, this is your favorite Jiuzhen juice." Cui Changjia handed the juice to Chang Ying.
Chang Ying looked around and couldn't help but sigh, "It hasn't been that long since I left. I don't know why, but I feel so at home here again. Everything is good."
Before, Cui Changjia and Chang Ying often came here to eat hamburgers and drink juice.
"Hometown is definitely the best."
Chang Ying took a sip of juice and sighed, "You are really good at speaking now."
Cui Changjia smiled. "What level? If you were like me and dealt with those people every day, you would become like me. But seriously, what are your plans after you come back this time? Are you going to work in your family's store?"
Chang Ying's mood dropped when she mentioned this. "What else? It's impossible for me to do nothing at home."
"I actually regret dropping out of high school. Now looking back, I should have persisted. With a degree, I can find a decent job and avoid having nowhere to go and having to rely on my family."
"There's no use regretting," Cui Changjia said seriously, "Do you still remember an essay we read when we were young? It said there were many delicious cakes in the city. At that time, you told me that when you grow up, you must open a cake shop of your own."
Chang Ying smiled bitterly, "When I was young, I was naive and thought that whatever I wanted could come true. The reality is, how can I open a shop if I can't even make a cake?"
“You can learn how to bake a cake.”
"Sister, I'm already 27 years old, how can I learn?"
"You can still learn it at the age of thirty-seven. It's not that difficult. You are very clever and deft, so there will be no problem. You have to have confidence in yourself."
Chang Ying's irritability surged in her heart, "Zheng Yuehong must have persuaded my father not to agree again."
Zheng Yuehong is Chang Ying's stepmother.
Zheng Yuehong is twelve years younger than Chang Yuanliang, young and beautiful. Chang Yuanliang dotes on her very much, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as "obedient and obedient".
Zheng Yuehong treated Chang Ying in one way on the surface and another behind her back, fearing that Chang Ying would spend an extra penny of Chang Yuanliang's money.
"Chang Ying, you are already 27 years old. You can't just give up because others say you can't do it. Just listen to me and learn. When you're good enough, I'll help you open a shop. You gave me 50,000 yuan before. Use this money to open the shop. If it's not enough, we'll find another way." Chang Ying's personality is actually similar to Cui Changjia's before. She is very honest and dares not say or do anything. Cui Changjia encouraged her to learn how to make cakes and open a shop, and she was really scared.
"But I'm afraid I can't do it."
Cui Changjia said, "But Chang Ying, there is no place for you in your family. Over the years, Zheng Yuehong has been guarding against you like a thief. She is not happy when you just use your father's card to become a member of a cosmetics store."
"You have been working in your store since you were seventeen. It sounds nice to say that you are the boss's daughter, but in reality, are you any different from an ordinary employee?"
"The money you gave me before was all your own savings. You never took a penny from your family. Even so, Zheng Yuehong was afraid that I would implicate your family, so she couldn't wait to send you away."
Chang Ying lowered her head, and tears could not stop falling
Cui Changjia raised her head slightly, trying her best not to let her tears fall. She must pull Chang Ying out of the swamp. She wanted her good friend Chang Ying to have the most brilliant life!
"Chang Ying, let's fight for our reputation. We won't rely on your father. We don't want a penny from your family. We will rely on ourselves, okay?"
Chang Ying quickly raised her head, wiped away her tears, her eyes sparkling, "Chang Jia, I'll listen to you!"
Cui Changjia encouraged Chang Ying, "Just go and learn. Don't worry about opening a store. I will help you."
Cui Changjia's promise is as heavy as a thousand pounds!
Chang Ying nodded heavily and asked Cui Changjia, "What about you?"
"Me what?"
"When I was little, my dream was to open a cake shop, and your dream was to make the most beautiful clothes. I decided to work hard to open a cake shop. What's your dream?"
Cui Changjia was absent-minded for a moment.
We all have an original dream, but those dreams also disappear or are lost with the passage of time and changes in the world.
When she was a child, she grew up with her grandparents in her hometown.
One year, her parents brought back a large calendar full of beautiful celebrities. Later, the calendar was no longer useful, so her grandparents tore up the entire calendar and pasted it on the wall.
Cui Changjia watched those beautiful stars fall asleep every day. At that time, she was particularly envious of the people on the calendars who could wear such beautiful clothes. She thought that when she grew up, she would learn how to make clothes and make whatever clothes she wanted to wear.
Later, she came to the state capital. Her academic performance was not good in high school. Especially after Chang Ying dropped out of her school, she also wanted to drop out and learn "sewing". Her desk mate said, "Don't you mind embarrassing your dad by learning sewing?"
After that she stopped.
In the end, her father sent her to a junior college to study "Computer Information Management", a major that he felt was particularly promising.
In fact, she really didn't like studying computers and almost failed several subjects.
Thinking about it now, Cui Changjia feels that she should have been braver at the time and she should have told her parents.
At that time, she always thought that her parents didn't love her. In fact, she was wrong. She was just feeling inferior and felt that she was not as good as her brothers and sisters. She was unwilling to tell her parents anything. She dared to say that her parents were the most loving parents in the world!
Even if she did something in her previous life, she still failed to fulfill her dream. What about this life?
Cui Changjia was silent for a while and said, "I have too many things to do."
Her parents gave her enough tolerance and love, allowing her to grow up without burden. Her brother, younger brother and younger sister all loved her very much and even did not want her to suffer when the family encountered difficulties. Now her family is broken and full of difficulties. How can she talk about her dreams?
