Chapter 171: Bad Intentions

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Song Yao was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside the courtyard.

She got up and saw Gu Li preparing stuffing in the living room.

“Why did you wake up so late today? Zuo Huo has been here for a while!”

Song Yao yawned. The wedding was imminent, and it was the first month of the lunar new year. She had too many things to do.

Just as she was about to take some water to wash her face, she saw Zuo Huo coming out of the kitchen and walking to the living room to naturally make dumplings for Gu Li.

His actions were skillful and experienced. Song Yao was shocked. “You know how to make dumplings?”

The man smiled. “Not only do I know how to make dumplings, but I also know how to cook. As long as you don’t find it disgusting, I’ll do all the laundry, cooking, and housework after marriage.” Song Yao was shocked. It seemed like Zuo Huo was going to be the legendary model husband!

She pursed her lips and said, “Why don’t I believe you?

“Believe it or not!” Zuo Huo smiled. “After we get married, I’ll show you!”

“Alright, alright, alright! You two can live your married life however you want!”

Gu Li was amused by their conversation. She glared angrily at Song Ping, who was rolling noodles behind her. “Look at how Zuo Huo treats his wife. I’ve been married to you for so many years, but I’ve never seen you say such things!”

Song Ping was caught between laughter and tears. “I didn’t say that, but I treat you quite well too. Look, we’ve been together for so many years. Haven’t I doted on you enough

Gu Li smiled. “You always say less and do more. I have to say that ever since I married over, I haven’t suffered much!”

“Wow, you’re up so early? I brought Chen Feng and Huanhuan over for a free meal. Don’t tell me you don’t welcome me?”

At this heartwarming moment, she was suddenly interrupted by a sharp and annoying female voice.

Gu Li’s expression immediately darkened. She said with a cold expression, “How can that be? On the third day of the Lunar New Year, even if a beggar comes to beg, I have to give it to him, right?”

Gu Li originally wanted to give Gu Fang some face. After all, she was her biological sister. However, Gu Fang’s words were too much!

She smiled and looked up. “But it’s really rare to bring your family over for a free meal.”

Gu Fang’s expression was very ugly. She wanted to flare up, but she knew that Gu Li hated what happened last night. She gritted her teeth and smiled apologetically. “Sister, look at what you’re saying. I’ve always been a straightforward person. If Yao doesn’t marry well and doesn’t earn much, as her aunt, I have to worry a little.”

After Gu Fang finished speaking, she wanted to continue talking to Song Yao about work, but she was interrupted by Song Yao.

“There’s no need for you to worry, Aunt. I’ve earned a lot of money from doing business. If you really have that kind of intention, take care of Cousin Huanhuan. It’S impossible for her to get into the capital’s teacher-training course with 400 points!”

Gu Fang choked and gritted her teeth. “I say, you’re too heartless! Isn’t Aunt doing this for your own good? How much money can you earn from setting up a stall? If you ask me, why don’t you come to the county to work? I don’t care what your household register is. As long as you listen to my arrangements, I’ll give you this amount a month!”

After Gu Fang finished speaking, she gestured a clueless sign at Song Yao.

Coincidentally, Song Xiao came in. Seeing Gu Fang gesturing, he blurted out, “200?”

Gu Fang was shocked. She was poor, but her tone was not small!

Even when their shop was at its most popular, they could only earn more than 300 yuan a month. This did not include the rent, utilities, and salary for the female employees!

“I’ll give you 20 yuan a month! How is it? It’s more than what you earn from setting up a stall, right?” Gu Fang said.

Song Yao just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Song Xiao couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Not even 200 yuan? 20 yuan! The waiter in their shop was still earning 30 yuan a month!

Without waiting for Song Xiao to say anything, Zuo Huo couldn’t sit still anymore. “Let Song Yao do whatever she wants. It’s not like I can’t afford to raise her!”

“You’re saying that you can afford to support her? Don’t be ridiculous. How much money can you earn from setting up a stall a month?”

Gu Fang laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth. She held Song Yao’s hand and said, “Let me tell you, I left such a good job for you on account that we’re relatives! If you hold expectations in a man who sells cigarettes, you might as well count on your aunt.”

Gu Fang talked non-stop, and Song Yao’s face darkened. She couldn’t be bothered to say a word.

Gu Fang took the initiative to visit her family and introduce her to work. No one would believe her if she said that there was no problem here.

“No need. I have enough money to support myself. I’ll leave such a good job to Cousin Huanhuan..”
