Chapter 2: Not an ungrateful person
"Sister, you are so nice!"
So stupid!!
Yi Jing pretended to be moved and hugged her with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, sister..."
Thanks, you idiot, for giving me the job.
"Sure enough, my sister is the best sister in the world. I will also be good to my sister."
There was a flash of sarcasm in Yi Chichi's eyes. If he was nice to her, it would mean taking away her job and forcing her to go to the countryside.
That's really nice.
"I'm hungry."
She pushed Yi Jing away and looked at Zhang Lanxiang aggrievedly, "Can I have a bowl of egg noodles?"
"No……"
"Can!"
Yi Jing, who hadn't officially landed the job yet, didn't want to cause any trouble, so she immediately interrupted Zhang Lanxiang and winked at her, "Mom, my sister gave me her job, why don't you cook her a bowl of noodles..."
Worried that Zhang Lanxiang would disagree, she squeezed Zhang Lanxiang's hand and emphasized, "Mom, Xiao Chi went to the countryside to suffer for me, so we have to treat her better."
We can't let her cause any trouble at such a critical moment.
Zhang Lanxiang took a breath in pain, but still pretended to be generous and said, "Okay, Mom will cook you a bowl of white noodles."
“Egg noodles.”
A bowl of white noodles is not enough to satisfy her. Her body is in urgent need of nutrition and she needs to eat better.
"I need eggs in the flour. I want two... no, I want four eggs."
"How many? Four eggs?"
Zhang Lanxiang exploded.
Four eggs. Do you really think they are a wealthy family? Which wealthy family eats four eggs per person?
This little bitch is just looking for trouble.
Zhang Lanxiang, feeling sorry for the eggs, looked unhappy and her eyes became fierce.
Yi Chichi, who was irritable due to hunger, said angrily, "Working in the embroidery factory not only allows me to have eggs without worrying about food, but also allows me to eat braised pork in state-owned restaurants and buy new clothes. Otherwise, I'd rather not go to the countryside and let my sister..."
"Here you go!"
"I'll do it for you right now!!"
Zhang Lanxiang, who interrupted her hurriedly, had no choice but to rush to the kitchen at the speed of a 100-meter race.
Yi Chichi looked at Yi Jing and found that she was looking at him fiercely.
The moment their eyes met, she immediately changed her expression and revealed a weak smile, "Sister, mom is not reluctant to give you food, she is just used to being frugal, you understand, right?!"
"understand."
He is really frugal, but only towards her.
If the family doesn't have to eat a lot of meat and fish, it's still okay to eat it every now and then.
Not to mention eggs, they are available every day.
Yi Yong could easily afford it with his salary and the income from corruption and bribery.
But the original owner had never eaten an egg once in the Yi family since her stepmother came into the family, and she didn't even have the chance to lick the bottom of the bowl.
I wouldn't even dare to dream of eating real meat like fish.
Thinking of fish, she found herself craving braised pork.
But don’t worry, we will have braised pork and pig’s trotters.
Touching the bump on the back of her head, she said in pain, "Sister, my head hurts."
"You said you were the same. You couldn't just talk to daddy about something and had to make a scene. You also know that dad has a bad temper..."
Seeing her glaring at him with dissatisfaction, Yi Jing suppressed her impatience, pretended to be helpless and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Okay, okay, don't be unhappy. After you finish eating the noodles, I'll talk to mom and ask her to give you some money to see a doctor."
She couldn't be allowed to go to the countryside in this state, and she couldn't marry into the Liu family with the bad reputation of being a harsh stepsister.
Thinking of Liu Qingsong, who was as straight and handsome as a young poplar in his white shirt, Yi Jing's eyes were filled with ambition.
She was determined to marry into the Liu family, and no one could stop or sabotage her marriage.
"Forget it, I'll go with you. After getting the medicine, we'll go to the embroidery factory to do the work."
It was naturally impossible for Yi Chichi to follow her plan, and she would definitely not give the job to her.
"Okay, it's fine if you go with me, but will it interfere with my business?"
Looking at the clock on the wall, she pretended to remind him casually, "It's almost twelve o'clock. If I remember correctly, the tunnel battle will start in half an hour."
Yi Jing, "!!!"
Yi Jing's eyes suddenly widened, and she remembered that she and Liu Qingsong had made an appointment to go to the movies.
Work is important, and Liu Qingsong is equally important.
The reason why she wanted Yi Chichi to work was to give herself an advantage so that she could marry into the Liu family.
But if she broke the contract with Liu Qingsong for work and left a bad impression on him, then all her previous efforts would be in vain.
This won’t do. This absolutely won’t do.
Thinking of this, she pretended to apologize and said, "Sorry, sister, I remembered that I have something to do later."
"Go see a doctor yourself."
"Don't worry about the money. I'll talk to mom and ask her to give you more money so you can buy some things for yourself and take them back to the countryside."
"Really?"
Yi Chichi pretended to be surprised.
Yi Jing nodded, "Really? You gave me your job and even went to the countryside for me, so I can't treat you unfairly. After I start working, I will send you five dollars a month."
"Don't worry, sister. I'm not an ungrateful person. I will remember your kindness forever."
What she said was sincere, but only she knew whether she could do it.
Yi Chichi was "touched" by the sincerity.
The two sisters, each with their own little thoughts, smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
With the bait of work hanging by a thread, Zhang Lanxiang and her daughter performed very well.
Not only did Zhang Lanxiang satisfy Yi Chichi's request for white flour and eggs, but under Yi Jing's persuasion, she also reluctantly gave her two Big Unity Banknotes and several bills so that she could buy things for the countryside.
After having eaten and drunk enough and regaining some strength, Yi Chichi naturally pretended to be grateful and went out amid the mother and daughter's earnest instructions and strong expectations.
At half past five, Yi Yong got off work and went home.
Zhang Lanxiang, who heard the door open, immediately came out from the kitchen and said softly, "Old Yi, you're back."
"Um."
Yi Yong took off his coat and handed it to her, "You little bitch, are you still trying to make a fuss in the room?"
"No, I went out."
"Out?"
Yi Yong's anger instantly flared up, "When did she go out? Why didn't you watch her?"
"I asked her to leave."
Zhang Lanxiang has a typical white flower appearance. She looks delicate and weak. She also has a good voice and is used to pretending to be gentle and considerate in front of Yi Yong, thus she has the upper hand over Yi Yong, a male chauvinist.
Her soft hands caressed his shrunken chest. She suppressed her disgust and explained softly, "Xiao Chi agreed to let Jingjing go to the countryside. The child is grown up, and we need to buy some things when we go on a long journey."
"I gave her fifty yuan and some receipts to let her go to the embroidery factory to get the job, and also to buy everything she needed for the trip to the countryside."
"Don't misunderstand her. I gave her the money."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he heard it, Yi Yong immediately imagined that Yi Chichi was so ignorant that he desperately asked Zhang Lanxiang for fifty yuan.
"Fifty yuan? She actually needs fifty yuan to buy things when she goes to the countryside?! She can't wear the cotton-padded clothes and use the quilts at home?! She really thinks there are gold and silver mines at home or something. This little girl deserves a beating. I'm going to beat her to death when she comes back!"
Yi Yong became angrier and angrier. Zhang Lanxiang's eyes flashed with malice, but she didn't show it at all. She pinched her throat and said softly, "The child has grown up and needs to save face. It's cold in the Northeast, so it's only right to buy him a cotton coat."
