Chapter 338 There is still hope.
The old woman was acting mysteriously, and Linna thought it was some valuable item.
When the old woman opened her hand, she saw that it was just a piece of chocolate.
Moreover, the packaging of this chocolate clearly indicates that it's a no-name brand, and I wonder which small workshop made it. Although it's chocolate, the taste is definitely not as good as those famous brands.
Linna wouldn't say she particularly likes chocolate, but when she craves it, she always goes for brand-name brands like Dove, Ferrero Rocher, and Cadbury.
"Young lady, don't you like to eat this?" The old woman smiled and handed it to Lin Na. "Someone gave it to me a couple of days ago. Kids these days all love to eat this."
Linna didn't want to eat it right now, and even disliked these off-brand foods. Her disgust was impossible to hide. However, the old lady meant well, so she felt embarrassed to refuse directly. She made an excuse and said, "Grandma, I'm twenty-seven years old. I'm not a child anymore. You don't need to coax me with candy. It won't work."
Hearing this, the old woman wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm seventy-five years old, and you're like a child to me. Here, let me open it for you to eat. Thank you for working so hard for me and my husband."
As she spoke, the old woman tore open the chocolate wrapper and, without saying a word, put it to Linna's lips.
Linna kept refusing, but since it was already offered to her, she had no choice but to reluctantly open her mouth.
This food is so awkward to eat.
The old woman whispered to Linna, "If you find working here too tiring, I'll talk to them this afternoon and let you come inside to help me fold some clothes and sheets. You can also take a break."
Upon hearing this, Lin Na quickly nodded in agreement.
She went inside, so Lu Yuan couldn't see her. He couldn't very well say she was slacking off, could he?
However, Linna immediately became suspicious and looked at the old woman, saying, "Grandma, why are you taking such good care of me?"
The old woman smiled faintly, "I don't know why you came to work, but I know you definitely didn't come voluntarily. Your boyfriend has made arrangements, so we're just helping out and following his lead. But, you remind me of myself when I was young. I know you're not the type to do this kind of dirty and tiring work."
"Really?" Linna was skeptical. "You think you can compare to me? Do you know how rich my family is?"
"I was rich when I was young." The old woman looked at the horizon, as if lost in memories. "I remember when I was a child, I lived in a big house and had maids to take care of me. Then one day, the world changed and our big house was gone. I didn't know anything, so I became a seamstress. I'm clumsy, and everyone disliked me until I met my master Pang and started following him."
"Master Pang was capable; he made money, but he spent it all later."
At this point, a hint of sadness appeared in the old woman's eyes.
Linna watched with the fascination of gossip, "And then?"
"Oh!" The old woman sighed deeply. "Actually, we had a child before, a little girl."
"Do they have children?" Lin Na remembered Lu Yuan saying that this family had no children.
"Yes, there was a little girl, but she got sick when she was young, and we spent all our money but couldn't save her. We lost our house and our child, and in the end, we could only scavenge for garbage here and depend on each other for survival. We'll just live our lives simply like this."
At this point, the old woman's eyes welled up with tears.
Looking at her, Lin Na felt a sense of heaviness for the first time, as if she had a breath stuck in her chest, neither rising nor falling, making her feel uncomfortable.
Finally, the old woman forced a smile. "Anyway, young lady, tough times are nothing to worry about. Just live well. You're doing well now, so you should cherish what you have. That's more important than anything else."
After saying that, she turned and went back into the house.
Linna just looked at her, lost in thought.
Lu Yuan returned with the food. Everyone ate soup noodles. During the meal, the old lady told Lu Yuan that Lin Na was no longer allowed to clean up the cardboard boxes there and that she should go inside to fold clothes.
The reason is that Linna is fair-skinned and clean-cut, and you can tell at a glance that she knows how to fold clothes, which is perfect.
Lu Yuan glanced at Lin Na, said nothing, and agreed.
In the afternoon, Linna stopped complaining, probably because folding clothes wasn't tiring at all.
By sunset, the yard, which had been littered with junk, was finally cleaned up.
Lu Yuan didn't see Lin Na off, telling her to go home by herself. He also told her to go to work at Yuanxian Wardrobe the next day.
Linna said unhappily, "Fine, I won't deliver it. It's not like I don't have legs."
She was about to leave when the old woman hurriedly chased after her, carrying a bag in her hand. She said to Lin Na, "Girl, here, these are the glutinous rice cakes I made. Take them home and eat them."
Linna looked at the contents of the bag and instinctively looked down on it. Everyone thought she would refuse, but surprisingly, she took it.
After Lin Na left, Lu Yuan also bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Pang and returned to Ye Yixian's house.
Ye Yixian prepared a simple dinner, and during the meal, she couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan, "Why did you make Grandma tell Lin Na about her past?"
It turns out that it was all arranged by Lu Yuan.
Last night, Lu Yuan had already learned a great deal about the past of Mr. and Mrs. Pang and knew what kind of people they were.
Lu Yuan smiled faintly and explained, "As I said, someone needs to enter Lin Na's heart. After thinking it over, Grandma is still the most suitable."
"The old lady's experience is a carbon copy of Linna's. If Linna sees the old lady in such a situation and doesn't feel any sympathy, it proves that she is beyond redemption and is someone who cannot be reformed."
Ye Yixian understood Lu Yuan's intention.
Humans are emotional beings; they can be moved by emotions in anything.
Lu Yuan wanted to use genuine emotions to make Lin Na realize that there is no essential difference between noble people and ordinary people, and sometimes the transformation between their identities can happen overnight.
If Lin Na is thoughtful enough to realize that her cooperation with Hu Chenghui could give the Lin family's rivals something to exploit, causing everything the Lin family currently possesses to go down the drain, then her training here will have been a great success.
At this point, some people might ask, is it really that exaggerated?
It's no exaggeration to say that.
Who in the industry doesn't know how Lin Jinfu made his fortune back then?
Even government officials knew about it, but now that Lin Jinfu has retired from his criminal activities, they are not investigating further to maintain stability.
But if a powerful figure were to personally report that Lin Jinfu was closely collaborating with criminal gangs, would the government take action against Lin Jinfu?
Regardless of the outcome, as long as the government intervenes, the Lin family will suffer a severe blow.
If those competitors take advantage of the situation, the Lin family could easily fall from grace overnight.
Therefore, you really shouldn't mess with the government.
Ye Yixian asked, "So, do you think this trick will work?"
Lu Yuan took a bite of food, thought for a moment, and nodded, saying, "I feel like there's still hope for her."
How do you know?
"She didn't look at the old lady and the others with disdain when she left."
"Does this confirm that she was moved?"
"It's a good start."
……
The next day, Lu Yuan finally had some free time and planned to sleep in, but he received a call from Gao Ya early in the morning. She said, "Lu Yuan, you let that woman Lin Na come back to work for me so quickly?"
Lu Yuan said lazily, "Yeah, what's wrong? What kind of trouble is she causing now?"
"No, not at all. I changed into my work clothes and got to work as soon as I arrived."
"That'll do."
Lu Yuan hung up the phone and went back to sleep.
At noon, Lu Yuan got up to eat lunch and noticed that Lin Na was carrying a large bag and went straight to Pang Ye's house.
Lu Yuan was puzzled and called Ye Yixian to come and see what was going on.
As soon as they entered, they saw Mr. and Mrs. Pang repeatedly saying "No need."
It turned out that Linna had brought them a quilt.
Yesterday, when she was folding clothes and blankets, she noticed that the blankets Mr. and Mrs. Pang were using were too thin, so she bought them a new one herself.
This is truly unexpected. Is Linna having a relapse?
Wasn't she always the one who despised the lower classes? Besides, Mr. and Mrs. Pang were just scrap collectors making a living from the bottom of society.
