Chapter 88 A Soft-Hearted Heart

Yao Shula thought the two boys were just acting on a whim.

Yao Shuli, in particular, was still thinking about squeezing out the small shop next door so he could open his own shop there...

But Yao Shula was a little surprised by what Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian said.

"I don't want my older sister to work so hard. No matter how much, every little bit helps! That way, she won't have to suffer so much," Yao Shuli said softly.

I want to buy pretty scarves for my eldest and second eldest sisters.

"Other people's older sisters are always thinking about dressing themselves up, but my eldest and second eldest sisters are busy taking care of us all day long," Xiao Tiantian whispered.

These words melted the hearts of both Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin.

Yao Shula, in particular, immediately pulled Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian into her arms.

She knew that although she had only been here for less than four months, she had definitely made progress in her teaching.

Look how well-behaved these two children are!

I've always known how to be considerate of my family and how to help them out since I was little!

Isn't this the result of my own good education?

Yao Shula hugged the two little ones and then gently pinched their noses.

"You two know you mean well. You want to make us less tired and happy, right?" Yao Shula asked softly.

Both of them nodded immediately.

Their original intention was simply to earn more money to buy things for their older sisters, which would make both the eldest and second eldest sisters very happy.

If the older sisters are happy, then they are happy!

Yao Shula didn't know what to say.

The two little ones are very smart and sensible; she's really lucky to have two such wonderful children!

"But you are still too young! It's not appropriate for you to do these things. If you do things your own way, you will be bullied by others."

Let's think about these things when you're all grown up, okay?

"Do you know what makes your sister happiest right now?" Yao Shula asked the two younger children.

"What's wrong?" Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian asked at the same time.

"As for Shuli, what I want to see is that Shuli can improve a little bit in each exam."

Even if you don't make progress and stay in the same place, as long as you don't regress, that's fine.

I want to see Tian Tian grow taller, gain weight, and be able to do more math problems.

And then there's Shuxin, who's about to take her high school entrance exam.

I would be very happy if I could get into high school with a good ranking!

"So, if you want to make your sister happy, just do these things well!" Yao Shula said earnestly.

Three little ones...

This doesn't seem too difficult!

It's much simpler than them trying to make money by selling water.

"Sister, I'm sure I can get into No. 1 High School!" Yao Shuxin suddenly said.

"Yes, big sister, I will definitely continue to study hard."

Even if I can't keep up with the learning, I will definitely study hard and I will definitely not fall behind again!" Yao Shuli also stated.

"Yes, big sister, I will definitely eat well, grow tall and strong, and do my math problems well too," Xiao Tiantian quickly replied.

Yao Shula nodded.

“You are all good. Others may not know, but your sister certainly knows that you are all good.”

As I've said before, do the right thing at the right time.

Now is the time for you all to grow up properly.

When you grow up, whatever you want to buy for your sister, she will happily accept it.

But now... all you need to do is grow up well.

Just like that sapling, it grew from such a small tree into a towering tree, and then sheltered its older sister, an old tree with all its leaves fallen, from the wind and rain.

"But let's just grow up slowly and peacefully now, okay?" Yao Shula smiled as she looked at her younger siblings.

All three of them quickly nodded.

Although all three seem to have agreed, Yao Shula still noticed a problem.

Could it be that I've been too stingy lately, making the younger children feel that the family is struggling financially?

If they don't save money, they won't be able to make ends meet.

Look at Yao Shuxin. The notebooks she usually uses are filled with writing on both sides. She only puts them aside to save up for selling as waste paper when they are no longer usable.

Yao Shuli usually refuses money for breakfast, insisting that he only likes the porridge, steamed buns, and dried radish from home.

Little Tiantian is so young, but she already knows that when she goes to someone else's house for a meal, she should eat her fill, and ideally, she should be able to take the leftovers home with her...

With that in mind, Yao Shula decided to tell these younger ones the truth.

"Come on, I'll tell you how much money we make in a month!" Yao Shula pulled the three of them to sit down at the octagonal table.

The three younger children were also looking at Yao Shula.

"First, there's the fixed amount of money! You all know that."

We can now earn forty yuan a month at the machinery factory.

You all know where that money came from.

Besides the forty yuan, there's also twenty yuan for the rent of the small shop next door, which you all know.

You all know I sold my mother's job. I bought the front yard and added three storefronts. Now I have almost six hundred yuan left.

In addition, people who live here every day receive monthly payments.

It used to be fifty yuan a month, now it's seventy yuan a month. Plus the recreational ball stall, I can earn at least forty yuan a month, if not more.

"You guys do the math yourselves, do we really need money?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.

The three younger ones did some mental calculations...

That seems like quite a lot!

Actually, it's not just a lot, it's quite a fortune!

"Sister, there's some money... I won't get it back once I turn eighteen," Yao Shuxin carefully reminded her.

"Yes, and if Tian Tian doesn't stay at our house anymore, we won't get that money!" Yao Shuli also reminded her in a low voice.

"That's quite a lot! Don't worry, with those three storefronts in front, we can make a good living."

"So don't worry about money, we're rich!" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Neither Yao Shuxin nor Yao Shuli spoke.

All things considered, the family is doing quite well.

And it's even better than when Yao Guohua was at home...

"Sister, we're relieved!" Yao Shuxin nodded immediately.

"Yes, our family isn't short of money!" Yao Shuli breathed a sigh of relief.

So it seems the family doesn't really need the few cents he manages to earn...

Xiao Tiantian tugged at Yao Shula's sleeve.

"Big sister, when big brother comes again, I'll ask him to raise your pay again. I'll tell him I eat meat every day, and I'll eat your family out of house and home!"

"No need, the seventy yuan your older brother gave me is more than enough to spend!"

"Also, even if your older brother doesn't give you any money, I can still support you!" Yao Shula tapped Xiao Tiantian's nose.

"Big sister, I want to eat braised pork!" Yao Shuli suddenly said.

"Yes, and spare ribs too!" Little Tiantian started ordering as well.

"Okay, I'll talk to Director Wang tomorrow and ask him to reserve some good pork belly and ribs for us!"

...

The four siblings lived a very comfortable life.

People in Yun County all know there's a recreational ball game stall in the county, and more and more people are coming to play.

But some people just can't stand seeing these four siblings living such a comfortable life.

Soon, the troublemakers arrived!

Who's here to cause trouble?

It was none other than Yao Guohua, the one the Yao siblings didn't want to mention...
