As expected, Chen Huan’s expression changed when she heard this. She stood up and pointed at Song Yao as she scolded, “You’re a clueless girl from the countryside, even if you’re paired with an old man…”
“Shut up!” Before Chen Huan could finish speaking, Chen Feng covered his mouth.
He pulled his daughter aside and said to Song Yao with a smile, “You’re wrong. Huanhuan is only 18 years old this year and is about to enter university. Even if we want her to stay and work, we have to see if she has the time.”
After saying this, Chen Feng’s eyes stared fixedly at Song Yao, afraid that she would notice something amiss. Unbeknownst to him, Song Yao had already noticed something amiss.
She had heard Chen Huan’s words clearly just now. If it was really just going to work, Chen Huan wouldn’t have such a reaction. Moreover, Chen Huan said that she was a divorcee and was not worthy of even an old man…
Could it be an old man?
With this thought, Song Yao was also shocked.
Although her relationship with Gu Fang, her aunt, was not deep, if Gu Fang really wanted to sell her, she would not care about Gu Li, her biological sister, at all!
Song Yao said, “Aunt, I earn more than 20 yuan a month.”
Gu Fang rolled her eyes. Where could a small vendor who set up a stall in the countryside earn so much? It must be to show off!
“Yao, I know very well how much you earn. We’re really relatives. Don’t lie to me. Twenty yuan a month is already not bad. With your current situation, you cannot get anything you yearn for, like culture and a house register. If you can find a place to give you a high salary, seize the opportunity. If you really can’t, I’ll give you a raise after the end of the month.”
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she looked pitiful as if she wanted to help Song Yao. It really stabbed Gu Li.
If it was when Song Yao had just gotten a divorce and had no job, she might have considered letting Song Yao go to work.
After all, youngest aunt knew everything. Working for her was better than working with outsiders.
But now, Song Yao had also earned a lot of money. Just collecting chestnuts once could earn her more than a thousand yuan. Not to mention Song Yao, she didn’t even care about Gu Fang’s twenty yuan salary!
She wanted her daughter to put down her business and work at a restaurant in the county for such a small amount of money?
Gu Fang was the first to disagree. “No need. Our Yao doesn’t lack money.”
“Oh dear, my good sister! You’re already old. How much longer can you live? Can you still help Song Yao all the time? It’S not wrong to believe me. As her aunt, can I cheat my niece?” After Gu Fang finished speaking, she wanted to persuade Song Yao a little more.
After all, although there were many beautiful girls in her shop, Boss Zhang had already seen most of them. Moreover, they were all withered flowers and were not as good-looking as Song Yao. Moreover, the conditions they offered were high. Gu Fang really could not find a more suitable candidate than Song Yao in a short period of time.
Unexpectedly, just as she opened her mouth, she heard the honking of a small car outside the door. She turned around and saw a red Santana parked in front of Song Yao’s house.
A handsome young man in a flowery shirt and jeans got out of the car. The man was carrying a black briefcase as he slowly walked to Song Yao’s house.
“Brother! Sister-in-law! I’m here to give you money!”
Song Yao looked out of the door. She had never seen the man standing outside before. Could he be Zuo Huo’s friend?
But by the time she reacted, the man had already hugged Zuo Huo’s shoulder. “Brother! It’s been so long! I missed you so much!”
Zuo Huo looked at him. “Have you brought the money?”
“Yes!” The man answered and opened his briefcase. There were several bundles of ten yuan inside.
This sum added up to at least 10,000 yuan!
The man looked at Song Yao and introduced himself. “Hello, Sister-in-law. My name is Lin Shu. I’m Zuo Huo’s former comrade! You can call me Shu!”
Song Yao politely extended her hand. “Hello, Shu.”
Lin Shu also wanted to shake hands with Song Yao to show his friendliness, but Zuo Huo was staring at him from behind, so Lin Shu could only stop.
He smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, quickly take it. This is the betrothal money from my bro!” The moment these words were spoken, everyone was stunned!
Song Yao turned around and looked at Gu Li. The mother and daughter looked at each other.
Zuo Huo had said that he would give her betrothal gifts, but who would have thought that he would give her so much?
There was at least 10,000 yuan in her bag, right? Coupled with the two house registers and car keys that Gu Li had seen before, how much would this cost?
Gu Li wiped her tears. “Child, I can’t accept this money!”
‘Why?” Lin Shu was a little dumbfounded, He thought that Gu Li was complaining that it was too little,- He said, “How much do you want? I’ll help you raise it!”
