Chapter 76 Should I call her sister-in-law or older sister?

Jiang Jianni retorted, "If you have hands, feet, a brain, and a smile, why can't you have them?"

Mr. Lu wanted to refute, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.

Aunt Lu said worriedly, "But she's just a young girl, and her accent is different from ours. Her Mandarin isn't good either. How can people understand her? How can we sell things to others if they can't even understand what she's saying?"

"..."

Okay, language is the biggest hurdle.

Jiang Jianni thought for a moment and said, "Well, my dad is injured and can't work right now, so let my mom go with Sitian."

"At first, it's enough for one person to understand. Sitian is young but smart, so it won't take her long to learn our local dialect."

Mr. Lu frowned: "Isn't your mother busy? Can she manage?"

Lu's mother noticed the key point: "Your dad is injured? What happened? He was fine just a few days ago."

Jiang Jiani didn't come back at noon, and the elderly couple thought that something was wrong at school and she was unable to return.

Jiang Jianni explained, "It's nothing serious. There was just an accident at the factory. My dad lost three fingers while saving someone. He's a fitter, and with three fingers missing from his right hand, he couldn't continue working and had to take sick leave."

Mr. Lu exclaimed with admiration, "Your dad is a real man!"

Lu's mother also praised it repeatedly.

Lu Sitian's eyes widened: "Then, Uncle's job, just like that, he's gone?"

Jiang Jianni shook her head: "The factory originally planned to transfer him to logistics, but my dad refused. He felt that he was not good at logistics work and that he would just be collecting a salary for nothing. He couldn't take advantage of the company."

Lu Sitian fell silent.

“My mom has been washing dishes at a restaurant for the past year or two. It’s hard work, requiring her to squat on the ground for long periods of time, and it’s not good for her lumbar spine. She’s already having some back problems now.”

Yang Yuemei has been rubbing her lower back all the time lately, constantly complaining that she's getting old.

But she's two years younger than Jiang's father.

How can someone under fifty be considered old?

Ultimately, it's a problem with the lumbar spine.

She was reluctant to go to the hospital because she was afraid of the cost, and kept insisting that she wasn't sick.

In this situation, there is no other way but to change your usual bad posture.

Jiang Jianni also didn't want Yang Yuemei to be running to the hospital every few days to treat her back pain when she was in her early fifties.

People who are sick don't want to go to the hospital, and people who are healthy want to stay away from the hospital even more.

Lu's mother was a little angry: "You came back late yesterday because of this, right? Why didn't you tell me about something so important?"

Jiang Jianni chuckled awkwardly: "My dad said it's not a big deal, there's no need to make a fuss, everyone knows."

Moreover, Jiang's father is quite concerned about his image.

Losing his job was a bigger blow to him than losing three fingers.

He really didn't want everyone he knew, whether they were acquaintances or strangers, familiar or unfamiliar, related or not, to ask him what he would do after losing his job.

Before Jiang Haibing mentioned the private factory, Jiang's father really wished he could lock himself in his room and never come out to see anyone again.

No able-bodied man can withstand the sudden drop from being the pillar of the family to being a freeloader.

Lu's mother turned her attention to Lu Xiangyang: "Jia Ni is too embarrassed to say it, so why aren't you saying anything?"

"People say a son-in-law is like half a son, is this how you act as half a son?"

Lu Xiangyang remained expressionless despite being scolded.

Jiang Jianni quickly pulled her wheelchair back: "My dad repeatedly told him not to tell anyone, and he was just listening to my dad. It's really not his fault."

Aunt Lu said angrily, "You, you, you, fine, you two are a family, and we are outsiders..."

Dad Lu tugged at Mom Lu's sleeve: "Alright, alright, we know now, don't we? Let's pick a good day and go visit our in-laws."

By the way, ask the Jiang family if they need any help.

The Jiang family is different from the Lu family.

All four children in the Lu family are already working, and the Jiang family still has two students who are said to be doing quite well in their studies, definitely on track to become college students.

College students' expenses are increasing year by year, and supporting two college students is no joke.

Even if Jiang Jianni suggested that Jiang's mother and Lu Sitian open a milk tea shop together, he didn't think they could make much money.

Are the ingredients in milk tea very expensive?

Milk, tea, and sugar are not cheap things.

A cup of milk tea like that must be expensive.

Anyway, as far as Lu's father is concerned, if it were him, he would absolutely not buy this thing.

Lu Sitian was even more frightened: "I, I've never done business before."

She just wanted to be a nanny, how did it suddenly turn into a business?

Jiang Jianni deliberately provoked her: "So you're not going to build a house for your brother to get married?"

"Besides, if you can make a lot of money, you can buy your brother a house in the city."

"With a house in the city, why worry about your brother not being able to find a wife?"

Lu Sitian's eyes lit up instantly: "Sis, how much do houses in the city cost? How long would it take me to save up enough to afford one?"

Lu Xiangyang frowned: "What are you calling me? Call me sister-in-law."

He can be quite fierce when he gets strict.

Lu Sitian couldn't help but shrink back slightly and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, sister-in-law."

Jiang Jianni glared at Lu Xiangyang: "Don't listen to him."

“Let’s keep to ourselves. You can call him brother, and I can call you sister. I like it when you call me sister.”

Lu Xiangyang: "..."

It would be better if you called her "Miss".

As for housing: "Anyway, if you work as a nanny, you'll probably never be able to afford one."

It's not like 20 or 30 years from now, when nannies and maternity nurses are still ranked.

Nowadays, a nanny's salary depends entirely on the character of the employer.

If the employer is a good person and generous, it's not a problem to pay them several hundred or even a thousand yuan a month. But if the employer is not a good person, the nanny might have to pay out of pocket.

Anyway, since it's a private person's salary, the exact amount is a mystery.

Lu Sitian wanted to work as a nanny because she wanted to make money. If doing business could earn her enough to buy a house, why would she bother serving strangers?

This girl is also decisive.

After thinking for a short while, he said, "I'll go sell milk tea."

He then asked, "Sis, what is this milk tea? How much does it cost? Does it cost money?"

Lu's mother was both amused and exasperated: "Silly girl, you're selling things, how could you not charge money? If you didn't charge money, where would you get the things to sell?"

Jiang Jianni said calmly, "Let's not rush. First, you can learn how to make milk tea with me."

"As long as our products are good, we won't have to worry about not having buyers."

Milk tea and cake are a perfect match.

When they went to bed that night, the young couple talked about opening a milk tea shop again.

Jiang Jiani said with great interest, "I can also make cakes."

"Once I teach Sitian how to make cakes, we can sell them together with milk tea, and the business will definitely be good."

It's definitely not that she wanted to drink milk tea and eat cake but didn't want to make it herself, so she encouraged others to do it.

She was clearly doing a good deed.

Lu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment and asked, "This milk tea cake recipe should be your own, right? You're really willing to give the recipe to Lu Sitian? Aren't you afraid she'll disown you in the future?"

He didn't mind sharing his things with relatives and friends, but he didn't want his relatives and friends to take advantage of Jiang Jiani.

I don't want to at all.
