Chapter 82 Let’s go to Jiangcheng together!
"It's okay for me to resign. I've been tired of this drudgery for a long time. Today I finally got a kick out of it. My boss, who knows nothing, looked in disbelief. I felt so good!"
Su Yuchen waved his hand nonchalantly, and Zhao Xiaojing shook her head helplessly.
"It's delicious and comfortable! I'm so full and satisfied!"
Su Yuchen cleared up all the food in front of her and started to clean up the dishes. Zhao Xiaojing wanted to take it, but she refused and took it to the sink and started washing it as she knew it.
"Mirror, you just said that your Third Aunt's curses were almost as harsh as Wei Liguo's. Is she still like that now?"
"I went against her wishes both times. Once she asked me to get married with the son of a colleague of hers, and once she asked me to quit my current job, saying I was hanging out with a group of men at the construction site. I refused both times.
We had a big fight, and now we've agreed to pay back the 80,000 yuan I borrowed from her before the New Year. If I pay it back, I'll make my own decisions. If not, I'll let her get married." Su Yuchen washed the dishes, and Zhao Xiaojing helped set them, speaking calmly as she worked.
"What?! Your Third Aunt is too cruel! The Chinese New Year is in January this year, which is only four months away, right?" Su Yuchen got anxious when he heard it. "I have about 20,000 yuan. Take it! Use it first and don't rush to pay me back. Don't just get married on impulse!"
Su Yuchen said as he was about to take out his phone to transfer the money.
"Hey! Comb, why are you so anxious?" Zhao Xiaojing stopped her and couldn't help laughing. "You won't turn it for me. I've argued and quarreled with my third aunt all because of her unwillingness to compromise and casually marry. Since I promised her this, of course I will find a way to earn it back, otherwise all this quarrel will be in vain."
"Then what solution have you come up with? Eighty thousand for four months, and you have to earn twenty thousand a month. Isn't this embarrassing..." Su Yuchen was still worried.
"You've seen the business tonight. To be honest, I make two to three thousand yuan a day selling fried skewers. My contract ends next month, and I still have 8,300 yuan left!" Zhao Xiaojing patted Su Yuchen's shoulder and consoled him. "After it expires, I'll set up a stall again and adjust my current business model. I'll make even more money. I can still earn 80,000 yuan if I work hard."
Su Yuchen did some calculations in his head when he heard this, and realized that it was indeed feasible, so he relaxed his brows. "It's true that when you've been away for three days, you should look at people with new eyes. Mirror, you're amazing!"
"Actually, paying back the money itself is secondary. The main thing is that I feel bad about owing money, and it's difficult for me to make my own decisions. Once I go against Third Aunt's wishes, I will think, I owe others so much money, how can I still do this." Zhao Xiaojing wiped the pool dry and pulled Su Yuchen to sit down.
"You're doing the right thing! Mirror, I support you. You're doing well now, and being independent is right. If you really expect marriage to guarantee your lower body, you'll never be able to get out of the life of a housewife once you dive headfirst into it! Although she's doing it for your own good, the older generation's thinking is different from ours after all. They're still immersed in the way of life where men work outside and women stay at home. We can't do that. We have to take the initiative ourselves." Su Yuchen encouraged.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled with a complicated tone. Su Yuchen had said these same words many times in her previous life. Why didn't she listen to him then?
After washing the dishes, they took turns washing up. After a busy day, they both went to bed early.
"Mirror, I feel like you've suddenly changed a lot."
Ever since Su Yuchen came back and saw Zhao Xiaojing, she has been surprised by the transformation of her friend, and she felt even more deeply after chatting with her.
"I was very worried before I met you, but after seeing you so calm, as if nothing was a problem, I felt much more relieved."
"Yes, it has indeed changed a lot. People have to know what they want and fight for themselves. They can't live in a muddle-headed way, letting others arrange everything for them."
Zhao Xiaojing also looked emotional.
"I'm glad to see you don't care about Wei Liguo. I was completely surprised when you said you rejected your third aunt's statement... Haha, I was worried at first that you'd just swallow your pride."
"I know I was too cowardly in the past, and I made you worry about me a lot."
"Haha, I didn't say that! You said that yourself."
Su Yuchen couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhao Xiaojing's self-aware words, and Zhao Xiaojing laughed too.
"You said that after the construction is finished, you are going to set up a stall again, selling fried skewers or milk ice?" After a few more jokes, Su Yuchen asked with concern.
"Actually, either one is fine. They each have their own advantages. We just have to consider where to put them. What about you? Are you still going to Jiangcheng to look for a job?"
Zhao Xiaojing has learned a lot during this period. She is a good cook, and now with the system, she is even more powerful. Now she can serve not only fried skewers and milk ice, but also steamed buns, noodle nests, and tea egg porridge. She can also set up a breakfast stall.
“Yes, Yangcheng is too small and it’s hard to find a job.
Mirror, how about we go to Jiangcheng together? With your skills, you can set up a stall anywhere. You can make more money in Jiangcheng. Come to think of it, Yangcheng is really too small, and there are classmates and relatives everywhere.
Su Yuchen suddenly had an idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea.
"We can look after each other in Jiangcheng. You can live with me. The small studio I rent is a little bigger than yours now, but the rent isn't expensive even if we share it between the two of us. If you go out, you can earn more money and learn more."
"That seems like a good idea..." Zhao Xiaojing was also moved by what Su Yuchen said.
In the past, her choices were limited to the construction site and Yangcheng, which seemed a bit too narrow.
She no longer has a home in Yangcheng. What is the difference between renting a house here and in Jiangcheng?
Besides, Su Yuchen was in Jiangcheng. When the two of them were together, they could know each other's affairs at the first time. Unlike this time, Su Yuchen even quit his job and ran back to see her.
She had spent fifty or sixty years in this familiar land, and she had never thought of setting out to take a look...
"Then let's go to Jiangcheng! After this work at the construction site is finished, I'll set up a stall for a few more days to pay back Third Aunt's money, and then we can start over together!"
In the darkness, Zhao Xiaojing made a happy decision, and both of them laughed, their faces full of anticipation.
