"Okay, that's settled, but first you have to go with me to send the telegram. If you dawdle any longer they'll be closing up shop."
"Okay."
Soon after the two of them sent the telegram, Jiang Ning went home and made a simple meal for Chen Shu. She ate the meal before going home.
Jiang Ning left the untouched dishes to Chen Yan, Jiang Xiaomei and others.
They also have classes tonight, and usually they both come back to eat, so Jiang Ning always leaves food for them when they are in evening study.
At half past nine in the evening, the two of them finally arrived home.
"Sister Ning, is Sister Shushu going to accompany you to set up the stall again today?"
"Well, hurry up and eat. I've left some food in the pot for you."
Chen Yan silently brought out the food that Jiang Ning had prepared for them from the kitchen.
Jiang Ning took a sip of tea and said, "Little sister, hurry up and eat. After dinner, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Sister, can't you tell me now?"
Chen Yan also said, "Let's eat first, little sister."
Jiang Xiaomei nodded: "I know."
Humph! Brother Chen Yan also treats everything Sister Ning says as an imperial decree!
After the two finished their meal, Chen Yan started to clean up again.
Jiang Xiaomei came to Jiang Ning's side and said, "Sister Ning, what's going on? Why are you still so secretive? We've finished our meal, you can tell me now."
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Your brother Yan hasn't come yet, wait for him."
Finally, Chen Yan finished cleaning up, and Jiang Xiaomei's curiosity about this matter reached its peak.
"There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Jiang Xiaomei became anxious: "Good news, good news, Sister Ning, please stop keeping me in suspense! I'm really curious."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Ning nodded.
"The good news is that our second sister-in-law gave birth, but the dream of having a baby girl was shattered. It was a big fat boy. I received the telegram this afternoon."
After she finished speaking, she took out the telegram Jiang Weimin had sent her.
Jiang Xiaomei couldn't hide her joy: "What! Then we are aunts again, that's great! Does that mean that my second brother will be back soon?"
Jiang Xiaomei has suffered a lot since Jiang Weimin went back. Now she doesn’t even have the chance to sleep in during the holidays. When she has free time every day, she either washes vegetables or skewers them.
It has become muscle memory, and she can't help but scramble dishes whenever she has free time at school.
However, Jiang Xiaomei also knew that Jiang Ning and Chen Yan were also very hard-working. They went to buy vegetables in the morning and sold them in the afternoon, and they were more tired than her, so she was embarrassed to complain to them about her tiredness.
Now that my sister-in-law has given birth and my second brother is coming back soon, they will all feel much more relaxed.
"That's the bad news I want to tell you!" Jiang Ning said with a serious face.
"My second brother can't come back now. Zhifang didn't give birth naturally, she had a caesarean section, and she's still very weak. I want my second brother to stay home for a few more days until Zhifang is fully recovered before coming back."
Jiang Xiaomei was stunned when she heard the news: "Cesarean section? Is it serious?"
Jiang Ning shook his head. "It's not serious, but surgery is bound to take its toll on my health. That's why I sent a telegram to my second brother asking him to come back later. So, for now, the task of setting up the stall still depends on us."
Chen Yan nodded: "As long as he's alright, let my second brother spend some time with Zhifang. They haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Yes, as long as the second sister-in-law is fine, we can set up the stall and let the second brother have more time to rest."
"Okay, that's what I want to talk about. By the way, Chen Yan, you can buy more vegetables. When I set up my stall this afternoon, my old customers told me that we have too few vegetables and they're gone before we even start selling them."
Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, I understand."
"Okay, let's go to bed early. Tomorrow is a new day. And a new struggle!"
Jiang Xiaomei replied: "Come on, it's a new day!"
......
Chen Shu looked at Jiang Ning and said embarrassedly: "Jiang Jiang, my family has something important to discuss tonight. I have to go back, so I can't help you today."
Jiang Ning shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, go and do what you need, I can handle it by myself."
Chen Shu thought for a moment and said, "How about I help you first, and then you finish it yourself at the end?"
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work. It will be the same if you help me tomorrow. Don't worry, I can handle it."
"Okay then, I'll help you tomorrow."
Jiang Ning nodded. "Go ahead. I won't go with you. I'll go back first. See you tomorrow."
Chen Shu waved reluctantly: "Well, see you tomorrow."
After Jiang Ning returned home, she looked at so many dishes and became worried, wondering if she could sell them all by seven o'clock.
Chen Yan is really practical. When asked to buy more vegetables, he acted decisively and started implementing it from today.
Jiang Ning packed the skewers slowly by himself, and then transported them to the industrial park by himself.
Fortunately, Chen Yan didn't add too much, otherwise the bucket wouldn't be full.
It was already five o'clock when Jiang Ning arrived at the industrial park. By the time she set up her stall, many people were already waiting at her stall.
"I'm sorry, brothers and sisters, I'm setting up the stall alone today so my speed will be a little slow. I hope you can bear with me."
"It's okay, Boss Jiang, we can wait."
She quickly joined the battle, as it was indeed much slower for him to set up the stall alone.
Finally it was half past seven and the skewers were sold out. The income was quite considerable and she could go home. She was really tired today.
I must soak my feet when I get home to relieve my fatigue.
Jiang Ning was walking back slowly with the bucket in his hand. Suddenly, two people came out from the path. One of them grabbed Jiang Ning's hands and walked towards the alley. In a hurry, the bucket containing the skewers was pulled away, and the juice inside was spilled all over the ground.
"How do you do things, you idiot? You can't even do such a small thing!"
"Brother, I..."
Jiang Ning panicked for a moment, but immediately calmed down. Now was not the time to panic.
She looked up and saw that the people pulling her were two masked men, with only their eyes showing. They looked extremely fierce, and one of them was holding a long stick in his hand.
Jiang Ning looked around. It was already dark, and there were no people around. She didn't have any self-defense tools on her, so she just had to keep the two robbers steady and wait for someone to pass by.
"Brother, I'm just a street vendor. I've only been here a short time. Did you arrest the wrong person?"
The man said fiercely, "I'm going to catch you!"
"Brother, this is all the money I have on me right now. If you want some, I'll go home and give it to you. Is that okay with that?"
Jiang Ning thought he was asking for money, so she took out all the money she had earned that day.
