Chapter 150 1 chance
The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the quiet path, enveloping everything in its soft and mysterious halo.
In the darkness, only the sound of footsteps and the wind could be heard.
Yang Qi and Yang Ba were worried about Yang Daya coming alone, so they both came along.
At this moment, the three children held hands and followed behind Li Liangping.
Before this, the children had never spoken a word to Li Liangping.
But Hua and Qiu had helped them.
Yes, on several occasions, when they were on the verge of fainting from hunger, it was this man, whom outsiders considered "exceptionally" and known for his "stinginess," who gave them food, allowing them to survive and not starve to death.
Therefore, regardless of how others viewed Hua and Qiu, the four children of the Yang family were genuinely grateful to them.
At this moment, knowing that Hua and Qiulian were still thinking of them even though they were away working, the children's hearts were filled with even more warmth.
Especially Yang Daya, her "parents" ignored her and her sister when they were young, but now that she's grown up and can talk about other people, they've set their sights on her.
But...why should I? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
He was no longer her father the day they cruelly pushed the two sisters out in the heavy snow!
She was absolutely unwilling to be controlled by him!
But she wasn't even 16 yet, and nobody wanted her...
As expected, Hua Lichu hesitated when she learned that Yang Daya was still two months away from turning 16.
Yang Daya asked nervously, "Uncle Liangping, can I say a few words to the boss?"
After obtaining Hua Lichu's consent, Li Liangping gave the phone to Yang Daya.
"Hello, boss, I'm Yang Daya. I don't need that much salary; I can accept half the pay of others..."
"I just couldn't accept being sold by my... father and stepmother for money. I wanted my sister, grandparents, and uncle and aunt to live a good life. I wanted to be able to eat my fill, stay warm, and have a thick coat in winter..."
"If they find out and cause trouble at your place, I'll risk my life to prevent them from succeeding!"
From the moment she received the news, Yang Daya was in a daze.
Yet she also felt a clarity she had never experienced before.
She knew this was the only chance she could hold onto.
She didn't know how to answer in a way that would satisfy her boss.
But she didn't want to deceive him, so she spoke her truest thoughts, word by word.
When Hua Li heard Yang Daya's reply, for some reason, the image of herself and her sister being all alone and helpless when Hua Hechun had just passed away suddenly flashed into her mind.
After discussing it with Hua Antao and Hua Yuansheng, the three of them unanimously decided to give Yang Daya a chance.
When Yang Daya learned that she could go, she was so happy that she didn't know what to say, and kept repeating:
“You’re a good person. I won’t let my family cause you any trouble. I can handle everything. If that day ever comes, I’d rather risk my life than be a burden to you.”
"Okay, I hope you can keep your word. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!"
That night, Yang Qi tossed and turned, unable to sleep, as if there were thorns in the bed.
After holding back for a while, he couldn't help but poke Yang Daya's arm: "Daya? Daya, do you think we can really go tomorrow?"
Yang Daya replied without hesitation, "Aunt Qiu is a good person; she would never lie to us."
"I know... but, would the boss even look at us?"
Yang Daya was also very nervous about this question, and thought for a while before answering:
“We’ve never been to school or been outside, so there’s definitely a lot we don’t know. But as long as we put our hearts into it and work hard, our boss is such a nice person, he’ll definitely hire us.”
The moonlight shone on Yang Daya's face, revealing the determination in her expression to Yang Qi.
Yang Qi nodded: "Okay, then let's work hard together."
She's reached the age where she could go out to work, but she's still staying at home.
It's because I can't bear to leave my parents, younger brother, and niece at home.
My parents are almost eighty years old. Those who go out to work in other provinces stay for a whole year at a time.
If something were to happen in the meantime, she wouldn't even have the chance to come back and see them one last time.
It is said that Aunt Qiu has time off every month and can go home.
If she could stay in the city to work, she could go home to see her parents during her holidays.
That way, even if her parents have a headache or fever, she can take care of them in time.
But she doesn't know much, would the boss really want them?
Yang Qi couldn't help but pray to the moon.
May everything go well for her.
……
They were supposed to meet at five o'clock, but Yang Qi and Yang Daya didn't get a good night's sleep at all.
When the rooster crowed for the second time, Old Man Yang got up.
As soon as the fire was lit, all four children of the Yang family got up.
Old Man Yang lavishly boiled four eggs, one for Yang Qi and one for Yang Daya.
"I'll give these two to your Uncle Liangping later."
Seeing the expectant looks in Yang Erya and Yang Ba's eyes, Yang Daya wanted to give herself to them.
However, he was rejected.
Yang Erya swallowed hard and shook her head desperately: "Sister, I won't eat it, you eat it."
Old Man Yang, suppressing his heartache, said, "You all eat. Daya, Xiaoqi, once you're outside, it's not like being at home. You need to be observant, do more and talk less, and not cause trouble for your Aunt Qiu. If you don't know something, go and learn..."
Old Man Yang kept repeating these words.
After the two finished breakfast, he shakily took out a few yuan from his pocket: "I asked around, and from our village to the county, we have to take another bus to get to the city. This is your fare, and here's an extra 2 yuan. Keep it for emergencies."
Yang Qi accepted the fare and wanted to return the extra 2 yuan.
She knew that this was probably the family's last savings.
But Old Man Yang insisted on giving it to him.
After everything was ready, it was still pitch black outside.
The group squatted in front of the kitchen stove, chatting away about their parting words.
"Sister, you work hard over there. When I grow up a bit more, I'll come and help you with your work. I won't take any wages."
"I will take good care of Grandpa and Grandma."
"Oh oh oh..."
Old Man Yang hadn't slept all night. Upon hearing the rooster crow, he immediately said, "The rooster has crowed for the third time. You should hurry up and set off. There's nothing urgent at home, so don't delay your business."
Before Yang Qi and Yang Daya even reached Li Liangping's door, they were debating whether to knock if he hadn't gotten up yet.
To my surprise, as soon as I reached my front door, the wooden door was opened from the inside.
Having been excited for most of the night and eager to see his wife, Li Liangping carried his bundle and strode out.
"Let's go!"
Although it's not yet five o'clock, leaving early means arriving sooner.
Just what he wanted!
