Kapitel 16: 013: Arrival at Qing City, Sisters Reunite_1
It is precisely because Lin Bingqiang believed that Lin Wu was different from ordinary kids that he supported her in making skincare products.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to take the risk.
As he finished speaking, Lin Bingqiang continued, "If Xiao Wu hadn't discovered my older sister in time that night and performed emergency treatment, we might not have been able to see my sister now. Xiao Wu is really a very smart child! So, let's trust Xiao Wu this time! Moreover, she promised me that if this entrepreneurial attempt fails, she will concentrate on her studies thereafter and never bring up this matter again!"
Zhao Cuinong frowned slightly,
Zhao Cuinong went on to say, "I know Xiao Wu is smart! She's not an ordinary girl, but that doesn't mean she can make skincare products! After we move to our new home, we will have to spend money on everything, and who will bear the consequences if their business fails?"
People are practical.
In such situations, Zhao Cuinong's first thoughts were certainly for her own family.
She did not have the devotion to sacrifice herself for the benefit of others.
Moreover,
At Lin Wu's age, she should be focusing on her education. She already has good academic performance. It would be a waste if she ended up neglecting her studies and failing in business.
It wouldn't be worth it!
"Cui Nong, I understand your point of view. Don't worry, I have thought of a backup plan. The main ingredients for the skincare products are some plants, and since Qing City is a tropical city with spring-like weather all year round, the cost of raw materials is not high. Currently, the mother and daughter have about ten thousand yuan on them. If they really lose it all, then my older sister can find work cooking or washing dishes, earning four to five thousand yuan a month, which is enough to cover Xiao Wu's education!"
Having said that, Lin Bingqiang sighed, "That child takes after me, she's stubborn. If we don't let her try, she won't be satisfied."
Zhao Cuinong looked at Lin Bingqiang, "I'm not worried about the money, I just think that it's unnecessary to try a business that is likely to lose money. Xiao Wu is only seventeen, what does she know? At her age, she should be studying hard. If the skincare products cause damage to someone's face, who will be responsible for that!"
Skincare products are used on the face; can they be experimented with so casually?
It's simply foolishness!
Lin Bingqiang put his arm around his wife's shoulders, "Cui Nong, I know you care about my sister and Xiao Wu. Don't worry, I've talked about all this with Xiao Wu, and she understands. Moreover, the skincare products will be tested on the face before being sold. Rest assured, she definitely won't sell anything harmful."
Zhao Cuinong didn't have much else to say, "As long as you're aware of the risks, don't blame me if I didn't warn you later."
Lin Bingqiang nodded his head.
Seven days quickly passed by.
After getting her brand-new ID card and household registration from the police station, Lin Wu boarded a high-speed train to Qing City with her uncle's family of three.
Qing City is located in the south.
A train ride takes 24 hours, while a high-speed train takes 10 hours.
Lin Wu and her mother's seats were not in the same carriage as her uncle's family of three.
Lin Guixiang had only ever ridden on the slower green trains and had never taken a high-speed train before. She found everything novel, remarking to Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, so a high-speed train is this clean and doesn't have any smell! It's just like what I saw on TV!"
This comment, not too loud or too soft, drew the attention of other passengers in the carriage, who gave Lin Guixiang a variety of looks.
Such a country bumpkin!
It must be her first time on a high-speed train, right?
Lin Wu, as if she hadn't seen these glances, smiled and said, "Mom, one day I'll take you on a plane ride to Capital City where we can climb the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City."
"That sounds great!" Lin Guixiang then voiced her curiosity, "Xiao Wu, can airplanes really fly in the sky?"
She was uneducated and did not understand the principles of airplanes flying in the sky, so naturally, she was very curious.
What kind of silly question is that?
Upon hearing the question, a stylish middle-aged woman with long curly hair sitting opposite the mother and daughter nearly laughed out loud.
With that poor and shabby appearance, they still dream of traveling to Capital City?
In your dreams!
Just then, a middle-aged man approached the woman with a smile, "Xiang Hong, there are no lunch boxes left, so I bought you some steamed buns."
"The buns will do!" Sun Xianghong replied, "We'll have a nice meal after we arrive in Qing City."
The man nodded.
Taking a bite of the steamed bun, Sun Xiang Hong spoke to her husband in a lowered voice, "Look at that mother and daughter."
"What about them?" Wang Haitao asked.
Sun Xiang Hong could hardly contain the derision in her eyes, "That woman can't even tell the difference between the men's and women's restroom."
It had just happened.
Lin Guixiang had asked Lin Wu to take her to the bathroom.
Little did she know, the restrooms on high-speed trains don't separate genders.
Can't recognize a single character but still wants to ride the high-speed train.
It's a public embarrassment.
Wang Haitao also found it unbelievable that someone couldn't differentiate between the men's and women's restrooms these days, "Xiang Hong, keep your voice down, don't let others hear."
"I know," Sun Xiang Hong nodded.
--
After experiencing a 10-hour high-speed train ride, the group finally arrived at Lin Bingqiang's new home.
It was an old residential area.
Very similar to a housing complex for families.
In front of the apartment building was an extremely large courtyard, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, every household was by the tap in the courtyard, washing vegetables and dishes.
Children were gathered in groups under the trees, playing with marbles.
As the newcomers entered the small courtyard, everyone curiously looked their way.
At that moment, a middle-aged woman in the season's trendiest red dress walked out from the stairwell, smiling,"Qiangzi, Cui Nong, you're here!"
Her gaze fell on Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu. With some uncertainty, the woman said, "Is this... Big Sister?"
The speaker was Lin Guixiang's younger sister, Lin Guimei.
Lin Guimei had married into Qing City at the age of eighteen. Her husband worked for the railway, and she now ran a small supermarket, which did a rather good business and led to a prosperous life.
Once a person has climbed out of the abyss, they seldom willingly go back.
Therefore,
Lin Guimei had returned to her childhood home only once since her marriage.
Back then, Lin Guixiang had just received her marriage certificate and was pregnant with Lin Wu.
At that time, Lin Guixiang was considered one of the top beauties in town.
But now...
If the two stood side by side, everyone would suspect they were mother and daughter, not sisters.
So, upon seeing the dark and thin woman before her, Lin Guimei could hardly dare to recognize her.
Lin Guixiang, seeing her sister after all this time, was stunned too. In the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed; the little girl had grown up, matured, and become more beautiful. If the two had merely passed by each other on the street, she wouldn't have believed this was her own younger sister.
Lin Bingqiang immediately nodded, "Yes, this is Big Sister."
Lin Guixiang's voice trembled, "Gui, Gui Mei."
"Big Sister..."
Lin Guixiang turned to Lin Wu, "Hurry, call her 'Little Aunt.'
"Little Aunt," Lin Wu said politely.
Lin Guimei smiled, "So this is Xiao Wu, isn't she? She's so pretty. Last time I saw your mom, you were still in her belly."
