Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Jiaojiao is a Little Lucky Star (7)_1

"Thinking of not doing it anymore?"

"Yeah." Wu Le nodded, still feeling a bit embarrassed.

Because initially, she had insisted on managing the restaurant herself, but now that it wasn’t making money, she decided to stop, which was something hard to justify to anyone. However, she truly had no other choice. Her and Ruan Jianmin’s previous salaries had not been high, and with a whole family to feed and take care of, every cent was needed. Next year Ruan Feng would be starting junior high, and she needed to save some money. Plus, she had started thinking about getting a house, wishing she could split every penny into three. She simply didn’t want to continue bearing these losses.

Shu Jiao sighed.

Seeing Wu Le’s embarrassed face, she could understand her.

She said, "Then wait for me for a moment. They calculated the accounts just yesterday; take a look later."

Ruan Jian and his brothers didn’t think they should compensate for the losses, but Ruan Jianmin insisted on doing so, saying that he wanted to give Wu Le a wake-up call. Shu Jiao thought that made sense and didn’t delay any further.

Shu Jiao took Wu Le to a room. Watching from the backyard where she was feeding chickens, the matriarch of the Ruanlin family saw them and put down the chicken feed bucket to approach.

"Mom." Wu Le called out, utterly intimidated by the Ruanlin Family matriarch.

The Ruanlin matriarch responded indifferently, watching as Shu Jiao handed over an account ledger. She had looked over it already, and being a savvy person, she knew at a glance that the numbers had been underreported. For more than half a month, how could it be that they only lost around thirty yuan?

When divided among each family unit, it came to just over eight yuan.

Wu Le, seeing the ledger, indeed breathed a sigh of relief, truly fearing there would be more she would be reluctant to part with.

"Have a look for any problems, and if there are none, write your name here," Shu Jiao instructed.

"Okay." Wu Le nodded, quickly wrote her name, then took out her money.

Handing the money to Shu Jiao, she felt particularly embarrassed, but didn’t know what to say. She could only give the money, play with Ruan Jiaojiao a bit, and then hurriedly left.

"Does Auntie Four not know that we made money yesterday?" Ruan Jiaojiao watched Wu Le’s retreating figure and asked curiously.

"Your Uncle Four hasn’t said, I guess," Shu Jiao replied, sighing and patting her small head. "Jiaojiao is still young. Just grow up happy, alright? You don’t need to worry about these things, okay?"

Of course, Shu Jiao knew what Ruan Jiaojiao was worried about, because having once lost a lot, she now cherished everything all the more.

But certain things, certain people, certain principles, shouldn’t be indulged.

"Oh," Ruan Jiaojiao answered listlessly and continued eating her breakfast. When she finished, several older brothers from the main house came by, and the six kids went off to school together.

"The Boss can’t handle this matter, so you have to make it clear!" After the younger ones left, the Ruanlin matriarch came inside and said.

If you really had to pinpoint a flaw in Ruanjian/Guo, it would probably be that he’s too loyal.

He took on too much responsibility from a young age. It had been the same with the second household before, and now isn’t he paying for Ruan Jun’s and Ruan Chi’s tuition? Of course, it’s not a big deal to help out the struggling second household a bit, but now he also seems to want to take care of the fourth household, not caring to show just how capable he is, as if afraid others might not know he made some money.

"I know, Mom," Shu Jiao replied helplessly. Although they indeed didn’t have much money now, as the saying goes, a man’s heart is never satisfied like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—greed is something that can be cultivated.

Once there’s a first time, there will be a second, and after the second will come countless more times, and eventually, it might become something that others take for granted.

Meanwhile, worried about this matter, Ruan Jiaojiao was distracted in class all day.
