Chapter 234: Chapter 233: Great-Aunt Spare My Life (5 Updates)

Returning from Li Qingshui’s, Xu Niannian went straight to the store.

Xu Sisi ran out from a distance when she saw her, excitedly hugging her, "Sister Niannian, you’re back."

"Are you asking a pointless question? I’m standing right in front of you," Xu Niannian said with a smile.

Xu Sisi used to not be close to Xu Niannian at all, mainly because the former Xu Niannian was too proud.

But recently, Sisi found that Niannian was very easy to talk to, so she became bolder.

Hearing Xu Niannian’s jest, she playfully stuck out her tongue, "Well, there’s no helping it, everyone likes to ask that."

"How was today? Are you tired?" Niannian asked with a smile as she walked into the store, with Sisi following her.

She smiled like a little hamster, puffing out her cheeks, "Not tired, not tired at all, it was very fulfilling."

"Huh?" Xu Niannian’s step halted, this didn’t sound like something Sisi would say.

This girl hated work the most.

Because she stopped so suddenly, Sisi bumped right into her back.

She yelped, holding her nose, "That hurt to death."

Xu Niannian turned to look at her, and seeing she was alright, she asked with a laugh, "So you like working that much? Tell me, what’s on your mind."

Sisi chuckled, "Sister Niannian, are we sisters or not?"

"You’ve already called me sister, what do you think?" Xu Niannian said with amusement, seeing that Sisi had a request.

Not often feeling embarrassed, Sisi scratched her ear, "Hehe, well, Sister Niannian, are you short-staffed in the store?"

"Why, you want a job?" Xu Niannian immediately saw through Sisi’s intention.

Sisi blushed a little, "I’d really like to, I want to earn some living expenses."

Before, she hadn’t realized that Niannian’s store was doing so well.

Especially after eating a bowl of buttered noodles, she felt like she could die happy right there in the store, wishing she could eat buttered noodles for the rest of her life.

She had never eaten better noodles.

Plus, working in the store would allow her to earn some money. With the family not having much, she felt guilty every time she took money from home.

Xu Niannian agreed almost without hesitation. She was willing to help strangers, so why wouldn’t she help her own family?

Moreover, Sisi wanted to earn money through her own efforts, not by taking the easy way out.

When Niannian agreed so readily, Sisi was so excited that she flung herself onto Niannian once again, "That’s great, Sister Niannian, you truly are my real sister, hahaha."

This laughter was a bit unrestrained. Fortunately, it wasn’t the lunch rush hour, and there weren’t many customers in the store.

Otherwise, she would definitely have become the center of attention.

"Alright, alright, let go," Xu Niannian patted her on the back.

Sisi let go of her, still smiling, "Then Sister Niannian, how much will my salary be? I can come help out for two days every weekend."

"Already thinking about the salary before you start?"

Xu Niannian chuckled, "I’ll pay you by the day, how about five yuan a day? You can come over every weekend."

"Five, five yuan?" Sisi covered her mouth in surprise, dumbfounded by the offer.

This meant she could earn forty yuan working eight days a month?

My goodness, most workers in the town were only making twenty yuan a month!

"What, is it too little?" Xu Niannian asked.

Sisi stuttered, "No, not at all."

She looked apprehensively at Niannian, "Sister Niannian, did you agree because you think I have some special talent?"

"I haven’t noticed any special talent in you," Xu Niannian honestly answered.

"Then is it because I’m your cousin?" Sisi continued to ask.

Xu Niannian: "...What else?"

"Ah... Sister Niannian, you really are my real sister, I love you to death." As she spoke, Sisi hugged Niannian again and gave her a kiss on the face, making a "pop" sound.

Xu Niannian was instantly: "..."

How could she dislike her cousin so much?

Can she take back what she just said? It’s quite urgent, waiting online.

Oh Sisi, this silly child.

Her eyes gleaming, she looked up at Niannian, "Sister Niannian, don’t worry, I will work hard, really hard, I won’t let you down."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yang Cuihua came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles, set it on a customer’s table, then ran over to twist Sisi’s ear, "You Black Coal Ball, slacking off again."

"Ow, Auntie, that hurts." Sisi quickly guarded her ear.

Yang Cuihua said indignantly, "If it hurts, then hurry up and get to work. Can’t you see your aunt is too busy to stop?"

"Okay, okay, I’m going now." Sisi dashed into the kitchen, not forgetting to throw a kiss back at Niannian.

Xu Niannian shook her head, amused.

After Yang Cuihua finished scolding Sisi, she turned back to Niannian with such tenderness, "Baby Nian, haven’t eaten yet? Mom will make you a bowl of noodles."

Xu Niannian quickly stopped Yang Cuihua, "Eh, Mom, no need, I’ve already eaten."

Only then did Yang Cuihua let it go, asking Niannian what Sisi had been saying outside just now.

Xu Niannian told her frankly.

She had expected Yang Cuihua to scold her for giving Sisi so much money, but she was surprised by the reaction.

Yang Cuihua just pursed her lips, "That Black Coal Ball sure has some ideas."

Xu Niannian was astonished, "Mom, you’re not blaming me?"

"Why should I blame you?" Yang Cuihua snorted, "Your uncle’s family has always supported ours before. I haven’t lost all sense of decency; it’s right to lend a hand." With that, Yang Cuihua walked into the kitchen.

Xu Niannian’s eyes twinkled with mirth; her mom might be a bit odd, but she wasn’t heartless.

No sooner had the thought settled than Yang Cuihua’s voice came from the kitchen, "You Black Coal Ball, you’re so clumsy you might as well be dead! Spilling soup all over the floor, I’ll strangle you!"

Immediately after, came Sisi’s pig-like shrieks, "Auntie, I beg for mercy!"

Xu Niannian: "..."

With a resigned smile, she thought her mom truly was a treasure.
