Chapter 37: Do you like it?

Song Shengsheng was so sleepy her eyelids were drooping, and she heard this sentence in a daze. Even half-asleep, she knew how to ask for benefits.

Her voice was a little sticky, and she asked him, “Do you like it?”

Fu Cheng held her a little tighter and kissed her forehead.

After a moment of silence, his voice was very soft. “I like it.”

Song Shengsheng only had one thought: what Sister Wang said was true, as long as she cooperated with the man in this matter, she could get his liking.

It turned out that a man’s liking was so shallow.

Shen Zhishu was different, she didn’t have to do anything, Shen Zhishu liked her so much that he was willing to be her mistress.

Song Shengsheng snuggled into his arms. She was so tired before that she couldn’t even lift her hands, but now she had to force herself to stay awake. “Can we pinky swear?”

In her muddled state, she gently hooked her finger with his.

Her delicate fingertips brushed against his palm like feathers, soft and alluring.

Fu Cheng held her hand back and said insincerely, “(childish).”

Song Shengsheng was held by his hand, and slowly fell asleep in her heavy drowsiness.

Fortunately, she didn’t oversleep the next day.

She rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative in time for its opening.

There were even more customers buying pastries today than yesterday. The business was booming. They had come to see the new, beautiful cashier.

They also bought some pastries and found that they tasted even better than before.

The master chef used the recipe Song Shengsheng gave him, and the taste was indeed better, not as cloying as before.

It was delicious before, of course.

But it would get too sweet if you ate too much.

Now it felt like you could eat as many pieces as you wanted without getting tired of it.

The leader of the supply and marketing cooperative also specifically praised Song Shengsheng because of the customers’ praise, and he was even more satisfied with her.

Even Sister Wang was praised a couple of times.

Song Shengsheng couldn’t help but feel proud after being praised, but she didn’t feel arrogant. She continued to get along well with the other cashiers at the supply and marketing cooperative.

The people here were all well-connected.

There was the daughter of the manager of a state-owned department store, and others whose parents were leaders in the county.

It would never hurt to get along well with them.

Of course, Song Shengsheng wouldn’t actively curry favor with them. She was good at everything, especially at making girls look beautiful.

She was beautiful, so people believed whatever she said.

In just two days, Song Shengsheng had become a fish in water at the supply and marketing cooperative.

People asked her where she bought the clothes she wore to work every day.

She had a good figure, and everything she wore looked good on her.

Ordinary clothes looked striking on her, emphasizing her slim waist and long legs, and making her face look small and delicate.

When they heard that her clothes were made by herself, one by one, they asked her to make them two pieces as well, giving her five yuan for labor.

Song Shengsheng was now focused on making money, so she didn’t refuse.

“Before you came, I heard them say that you’re hard to please and difficult to get along with. It seems like they’re just jealous of you.”

“I heard it too, not only did it reach my ears, but my mom even heard people say it, telling me to stay away from you. Some people even wanted to write a letter of denunciation to get you fired.”

“Now it seems like they’re all green with envy, they can’t stand to see you doing well.”

Song Shengsheng knew that her reputation wasn’t good outside, partly because she was indeed quite annoying before, and partly because some people were tirelessly spreading rumors about her.

Exaggerating and smearing her.

Song Shengsheng used to fight back. When the neighbors said bad things about her and called her vicious, she would show them how bad she could be, bullying whoever they said.

She confirmed her reputation as a bully.

Now she wouldn’t be so stupid. Living her life slowly and well was better than fighting with people.

Perhaps they couldn’t stand to see her becoming more and more popular.

Some military dependents in the compound couldn’t help but gossip.

They pulled the other cashiers at the supply and marketing cooperative aside and gossiped.

“I’m telling you, her kindness in front of you is all an act.”

“Last winter, my son accidentally stepped on the cabbage leaves in her yard, and she caught him and gave him a good beating!”

“Don’t be fooled by her. When she first moved into the military dependents’ compound, she was just as sweet and gentle as she is now. Later? Ha! She became a shrew!”

Some people at the supply and marketing cooperative didn’t believe it.

Some were shaken.

“No way?”

“I’m her neighbor, I know her inside and out, how could I not know?” Then she lowered her voice. “She dresses up every day, do you know why? It’s so she can easily cheat on people, she’s not clean, who knows if she has any diseases.”

“Ah???” Several people were scared when they heard this. They had also wanted to follow the trend and have Song Shengsheng make them a few skirts, but now they lost their interest.

They also thought to themselves, they should stay away from her.

Song Shengsheng worked at the supply and marketing cooperative for a week.

This afternoon, she asked the master chef for a two-hour leave. The master chef liked her very much, he treated her like a daughter, and he waved his hand at her. “Go and take care of your business.”

Song Shengsheng took the clothes she had just made and went to the farm secretly.

She gave the clothes to her uncle. She saw that her uncle’s living quarters on the farm were much cleaner than last time.

He really didn’t want her to come again. Getting involved with someone like him, who had no future, would not have a good ending.

He had chosen to stay to cultivate more talents for the country.

Unfortunately, his background was bad.

He said, “Shengsheng, if you come again next time, I won’t see you. If I implicate you, I won’t be able to rest in peace even if I die.”

He said he wouldn’t see her again, and he wouldn’t.

He knew Shengsheng’s delicate nature, if she were to be branded, she would probably die of shame.

He continued, “Tell your cousin not to come either.”

Zhao Xiaoning had been running here quite a bit in the past half-month. As a reborn person, she naturally knew that he would be the dean of the highest university in the future.

A very influential position.

Of course, Zhao Xiaoning wanted to show her warmth to the big shot when he was at his lowest, so that he would remember her kindness when he rose to power again.

Song Shengsheng was genuinely surprised to hear that Zhao Xiaoning had been here, but after thinking about it, it was very much in line with Zhao Xiaoning’s nature.

She couldn’t stop Zhao Xiaoning from doing what she wanted to do.

There was no need to stop her either.

She wasn’t stupid!

As the female lead, Zhao Xiaoning must have a halo.

If she fought with the female lead, what if she was hurt by her blinding halo?

“Uncle, you can talk to her yourself.”

Everyone likes the female lead, that’s the setting of this book.

Song Shengsheng couldn’t help but imagine, maybe her uncle never married, it was all for Zhao Xiaoning, the female lead.

Later, he saw the male and female lead happily in love, and then died of a broken heart.

Thinking about it this way, it made sense.

He frowned slightly, thinking about Zhao Xiaoning, his gaze turned cold.

He didn’t like Zhao Xiaoning very much.

Even when she came to visit the first two times, she had been very attentive.

But it was precisely because of this that he was even more suspicious of her motives.

Besides, the ambition in that girl’s eyes couldn’t be hidden.

But he didn’t want to say these things to Shengsheng, it would be like stirring up trouble.

He hummed in response. “I’ll handle this myself, you go back quickly.”

Song Shengsheng still couldn’t bring herself to ask about her origins. It would be great if her biological parents were still alive.

It would be even better if her biological parents were very rich.

But looking at her uncle’s current situation, it was hard to say whether her parents were still alive in the turbulent times.

“Okay.”

He watched her leave. Of course, he would keep her origins a secret.

In the future… if there was a future.

He would do everything in his power to send her abroad.

Song Shengsheng arrived home before Fu Cheng got back.

She continued to work diligently as her little tailor, using the fabric her colleagues gave her.

Even the most ordinary fabric could become a beautiful little dress in her hands.

She was like a little hamster that couldn’t get enough to eat, saving money five yuan at a time in her little pocket.

Fu Cheng came home with their son.

Song Shengsheng heard their voices and went to the living room. She saw two ice cubes, big and small, at the door.

Fu Luochi was very happy to see his mother. He let go of his father’s hand and ran to his mother. He was much more cheerful than before.

He had a lot more smiles on his face.

He reached out and asked his mother for a hug.

Song Shengsheng hugged him. His face turned red again, but he was indeed very happy.

Fu Luochi now felt that his mother loved him very much, even though she had never picked him up from school.

“Mom, I had a nightmare during my nap today.”

“I want to sleep with my little pillow next to Mom tonight, can I?”

He was very polite.

He even thought about bringing his pillow with him.

Even though Uncle Lu still told him that his mother didn’t really love him.

Because his mother had never picked him up from kindergarten.

But Fu Luochi wasn’t sad.

He could walk back home every day with the little backpack his mother made for him.

Fu Luochi just wanted to be like his classmates tonight, being able to snuggle in his mother’s arms.

The boy looked up at her, suppressing his temper, and said obediently, “Mom, can’t I? Okay then.”
