Chapter 630: Chapter 631 Sister Like Mother 48_1

Huang Man hadn’t expected that, after what was basically a fallout just now, she didn’t expect Huang Lina would seek her out again with the same issue as soon as she turned around.

Huang Xin followed behind, unsure whether to let Huang Man go or not. In the past, of course, he wouldn’t have wanted this troublesome person to go.

But now, whether it was because she had grown up or was eating better, or perhaps because she wasn’t toiling in the fields, Huang Xin realized Huang Man also looked alright and wasn’t much worse off than Huang Lina.

It was just that Huang Man often wore a stern face, which made her seem difficult to approach, but perhaps some customers would like that kind of demeanor; it was quite possible.

If he could introduce both of them to work, the benefits would undoubtedly be substantial, but he was also worried that Huang Man was really unpredictable and could turn hostile at any moment.

Huang Man glanced back at Huang Xin standing behind her, "I’m not going. If you’re worried, you can call mom to go."

"But she, she..." Huang Lina still felt it would be better for Huang Man to accompany her, "She’s inexperienced."

"I’m inexperienced too. I don’t even know what a nightclub is, and besides, your guardian is mom, not me."

"How you should live your lives is for you to decide. I won’t make any suggestions," Huang Man insisted. "If you think it’s okay, then go for it."

"At least you often go out with friends to chase stars, have been to the city center, and don’t panic when shopping in malls."

"I’m different. I’ve never been to the city center. Even when I was studying in the county town, I stayed in school and knew nothing about society."

"Not even as much as you."

Since they were comparing their level of worldliness, had Huang Lina not been to far more places than bookworm Huang Man?

"I just thought that if another person went, I could feel at ease," Huang Lina insisted that Huang Man go.

"I’m not going. I need to make money."

"As for you, if you want to go to the interview, then go; if not, don’t. It’s not me who’s earning the money." The more Huang Lina insisted on going, the more suspicious Huang Man became.

She stared at Huang Lina for a long time, "Alright, I’m tired. You all should leave."

"Whether it’s about Huang Xin or Huang Lina, you make your own decisions. It’s your life," she said.

She wasn’t foolish; Huang Lina was just captivated by the pie in the sky that Huang Xin drew, the chance to make easy money, and moreover, a lot of it. How could she miss out?

As for why she was so adamant about dragging her along, the reason was clear: if something went wrong, it would be her fault, for not being vigilant enough.

"You all want to make money but don’t want to face everyone’s pointing fingers if things go south, pushing the responsibility onto me. I won’t take the fall for this," shouted Huang Man, her voice growing louder.

"If you want to work at the nightclub, that’s your business."

"I’ve said I won’t interfere with your matters, and I meant it."

A few neighbors happened to come to see Zhao Mei, hoping to ask her if she could mention to Huang Man to occasionally give their kids some pointers.

Although the results of the college entrance examination had not yet been released, they knew of Zheng Jia’s performance in high school – outstanding and unmatched.

Moreover, if the performance was poor, why would there be parents inviting her to tutor?

If she wasn’t a good teacher, who would continue to hire her for two consecutive years?

What they didn’t expect was to overhear Huang Man loudly declaring her disinterest in their affairs, and most importantly, that she was actually considering working at a nightclub.

Don’t think that just because they were from the countryside, they didn’t understand the outside world; they watched soap operas, they knew about nightclubs from Hong Kong dramas.

There were also a few girls from a neighboring village who went down south to work, claiming it was at a nightclub.

Girls who knew nothing but could still make a fortune – even a fool could guess what was up.

But once people talked about it, they said that all the girls had to do at the nightclub was to please the bosses and get tipping—lots of tips.

To everyone’s surprise, Huang Lina, who had just graduated from junior high, was actually considering working at a nightclub.

A few people looked up at Zhao Mei, who was in awkwardness; she really didn’t know what to do.

Was it to pretend she didn’t know, or to admit she knew but say it was her daughter’s business and she couldn’t intervene?

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Mei decided to play dumb, "You all know how strained the relationship has been between my daughter and me over the years."

Everyone remembered that over the past year, there had been constant friction between Zhao Mei and Huang Lina, with their relationship on a sharp decline.

"I won’t be going with you," she exclaimed, "if you need someone to accompany you, ask mom."

"Eventually mom will find out about it," Huang Man continued loudly.

Based on her understanding of Zhao Mei, once the issue blew up, that woman would definitely feign ignorance, claiming she found out about Huang Lina working at the nightclub only after it had happened.

In any case, she would definitely exonerate herself and not let it get linked to her.

"Mom surely knows about it," Huang Lina also yelled out, huh, she was about to make big money, why should she continue to be suppressed by Huang Man?

"Brother mentioned it earlier, right in front of mom."

"She even wanted to accompany me to the nightclub and attend the interview with me, but I refused."

"All you ever do is read books; you’re such a bookworm that I bet you’ve never been to such a place, so I wanted to take you and open your eyes."

Since Huang Man was being so obtuse, Huang Lina was merciless in her speech, betraying both Huang Xin and Zhao Mei cleanly.

Huang Man watched Huang Lina’s outburst with an expressionless face, feeling inwardly delighted to see her go off the rails.

Go on, talk more, the more excited she gets, the less they’ll be able to smear it afterwards.

Zhao Mei had just claimed she was unaware of the whole affair, but as soon as she finished speaking, Huang Lina’s words thoroughly trampled her explanation, grinding it into the dirt.

Despite being quite the talker herself, at this moment, Zhao Mei really didn’t know what to say and could only offer an embarrassed smile.

Right now, all she wanted was to quickly get rid of the people in front of her, praying fervently that Huang Lina wouldn’t blow up further.

Her wish was nice, but why would these people want to leave? Having a chance to hear the gossip firsthand, they were not about to go anywhere.

Of course, they wanted to learn as much as possible so that later, when they went out, they could spread the news about the latest commotion in the Huang family to the other villagers.

Zhao Mei made several attempts but realized they were not keen on leaving, and Huang Lina was still furiously ranting on.

Zhao Mei took a few deep breaths, realizing she just couldn’t tolerate it anymore, "I’m going upstairs to give Huang Lina a piece of my mind."

"She is out of line and has no respect. Doesn’t she know that she can’t just say whatever she wants about her elders?"

Zhao Mei, determined to restore her dignity, stormed into Huang Man’s room, set on giving her a stern lesson no matter what.

So absorbed in regaining her face and letting Huang Lina take all the blame, Zhao Mei failed to notice that someone had slipped out.

From where she was, Huang Man could see someone running out, and soon Zhao Mei appeared, headed upstairs in a huff.

Not bad at all, getting to watch the drama up close and personal; Huang Man was thoroughly enjoying it.

Too bad there wasn’t enough time, or she would have gone out to get a half of a watermelon, munching away while watching the drama unfold, wouldn’t that be delightful?
