"Let's go downstairs. Your aunt will stew chicken for you tonight." Tong Muzhen looked at Shiye's dazed expression, sighed softly, and did not mention the sensitive topic of the Zhou family anymore. She took Shiye's hand and went downstairs.
Tomorrow Shi will leave for the Northwest. It's really hard for her to have such a lovable child.
As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Xia Yun coming back from outside.
She has shoulder-length hair, delicate features and a petite figure. I don't know what good things must have happened to her, but she has a smile on her face and spring in her eyes. One hand keeps touching her hair. Upon closer inspection, you can see that her hair quality has improved a lot, it is black and shiny, and each strand of hair is clearly distinguishable when the wind blows it, as if it has been carefully maintained, and is very eye-catching.
Mami's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood in her heart that she must have just met a man and received the blessing of the "beauty system".
And this blessing is undoubtedly "smooth as silk".
She had used the system frequently in her previous life, and was familiar with its rewards, and her punishments were also deeply engraved in her mind.
Tong Muzhen looked at the smile on Xia Yun's face, her red lips curved straight, and she said lightly: "Xiao Ye is going to the northwest tomorrow, Xiao Yun, where are you going to play without saying goodbye to her?"
Xia Yun's smile froze on her face. She straightened her back instantly and moved her lips: "I... I am..."
Tong Muzhen frowned, ignored her, and took Shi Ye's hand and went into the kitchen.
Xia Yun breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the kitchen with complicated eyes, and then hurried upstairs.
Now that she has tasted the sweetness and realized the benefits of the "beauty system", staying in Yandu is the right decision.
As for Shi Ye, after going to the northwest, she wasn't sure whether she would be able to come back in the future. Why should she care about her?
In the evening, the dining table was filled with hot meals, and a pot of chicken soup was placed in the middle, smelling delicious.
As the leader, Xiao Fengnian looked at Shiye and said earnestly, "Xiaoye, take good care of yourself when you go to the northwest. Don't be afraid. In a few years, I will find a way to transfer you back."
Shi also curled his lips and chuckled, "Okay."
"Come, drink more soup. Your aunt stewed it specially for you. It's from an old hen sent from your hometown. The meat is tender." Tong Muzhen served a bowl of soup to Shi Ye and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears. Her behavior was exactly like that of her own daughter.
Xia Yun looked at the three people who were having fun together, lowered her head and curled her lips.
At this time, Xiao Fengnian, who was at the top, took out a stack of things from his pocket and said, "Oh, take this."
Shi was slightly startled, looking at the stack of neatly arranged banknotes, and said in surprise: "Is this given by my aunt?"
The last time she showed the IOU to Xia Rongrong, it was just a deterrent. She never thought that she could get the money back from that kind of person. Afterwards, Xiao Fengnian took the IOU away, and she didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, he would come back before she went to the northwest.
"Take the two hundred yuan. Although the Northwest is cold and bitter, there are supply and marketing cooperatives. Don't put yourself in a difficult situation." Xiao Fengnian said as he stuffed a thick stack of banknotes into Shiye's hands, his voice full of pity.
Xia Yun stared with wide eyes, unable to control her emotions for a moment, revealing an unhappy expression.
After all, this money was lent to Xia Rongrong by her parents. Shouldn't they share it together after getting it back? Why should they give it all to Shiye?
Xia Yun also knew that Shi had taken the initiative to propose to go to the Northwest, which made Xiao Fengnian and Tong Muzhen feel very distressed and treated her better, but she was confident that if she stayed in Yandu, she would be able to get closer to the two of them and have a more harmonious relationship.
Anyway, Xiao Yue's background will be exposed in the future, and she will have nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore. She must take advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate the Xiao couple and establish a good relationship with them. It would be best if she can conquer them 100%. From now on, she will be the real daughter of the Xiao family!
But two hundred yuan is not a small amount, so why give it all to Shi?
Xia Yun bit her lip, and Shi also quietly put the money into her pocket. Noticing Xia Yun's low mood, he turned his head and looked at her silently, and whispered, "Sister, my aunt borrowed money from my mother, and my mother gave me the IOU. Now the money is coming back, do you want it? Do you want me to give you a hundred yuan? Yandu is prosperous, and you must have more places to spend money."
Shiya's eyes were sincere, and as he spoke, he reached into his pocket.
Tong Muzhen frowned and said calmly, "Xiaoye, since your mother gave you the IOU, the money you pay back is naturally yours. Yandu is prosperous, and Auntie will not treat Xiaoyun badly. She is indispensable. On the contrary, you are so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed. Bring more money with you, and Auntie will feel more at ease. Xiaoyun loves her sister, so why would she fight with you for such a small thing?"
Shi Ye hesitated, lowered her eyes and said shyly: "I know, my sister has been good to me since I was a child."
She and Tong Muzhen sang the same tune, which made Xia Yun feel embarrassed and her face looked very ugly.
Xia Yun looked at Xiao Fengnian with red eyes, hoping that he would say a few words for her. However, Xiao Fengnian didn't even look at her. Instead, he urged her, "Okay, let's eat. We have to leave early tomorrow."
Xia Yun's face was stiff, she tightened her grip on the chopsticks, and took a few deep breaths to suppress the depression in her chest.
Shi also looked up at Xiao Fengnian, frowned slightly, with a hint of sadness on her fair little face.
Tong Muzhen was very concerned about Shi now, so she caught her expression. She glanced at Xia Yun and patted her on the back. "Okay, Xiaoye, it's okay. Just take the money and ask your brother Xiao Yue for more if you don't have enough."
Shi also pursed his lips and whispered, "Auntie, I...I actually have something that I'm worried about."
Tong Muzhen was stunned and said softly, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Xiao Fengnian also looked at Shiye. The little girl lowered her eyelids and had a melancholy look on her face.
Xia Yun still looked unhappy. After hearing what Shi Ye said, she looked at her warily. This nerd seemed to have opened up her Ren and Du meridians in this life. She became pretentious, very green tea, and difficult to deal with. Who knew what trouble she would make next? Although they were classmates, they didn't get along in the previous life. Why did she expect him to be on the same side with her?
Shiye's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he whispered, "Uncle Xiao, Auntie, do you still remember my uncle?"
Hearing this, the atmosphere at the table stagnated, and Xiao Fengnian looked at her with his eyes slightly drooping.
"My grandparents passed away early, and my mother only has this one relative. It is a lifelong bond for her. Now that my mother is gone, my uncle... my uncle also went to school. Can he come to our compound to work as an accountant?"
As Shiya spoke, she pursed her lips and tears were about to fall.
Xia Yun glared and said sternly, "No! My uncle is uneducated and lazy all day long, how can he be an accountant? If you go to the northwest, I should do our mother's work. Shiye, are you deliberately going against me?"
Hearing this, Shi was also shocked, and the tears that had been welling up began to fall.
She stood up, the chair made a shrill sound, and waved her hands repeatedly, "Sister, no, I didn't. I'm just worried about my uncle. He has no one to rely on in the future. I've gone to the northwest, and he's alone and old. What should I do?"
