In the past, Luo Xuelan would take her daughter Xie Xia with her to dinner parties or shows. Now that her daughter is studying abroad, she can’t find any younger generation of the same age around her, so she wanted to take Yun Mo with her, but Yun Mo couldn’t leave.
Or you could just find a rich lady you have a good relationship with to go with you.
Just as he was thinking about it, his son Xie Jinghuai came back from outside.
"Mom, you haven't rested yet?"
The Xie family has a curfew. Xie Xia’s curfew is 10 o’clock and Xie Jinghuai’s curfew is 9 o’clock. Anyone who exceeds that time must call home for permission.
It was already past 9 o'clock today, and Xie Jinghuai did not ask for permission in advance. Seeing Luo Xuelan sitting in the living room with a blank expression, he thought she was waiting for him, and Qingjun's face was full of nervousness.
"Mom, I should have been back before 9 o'clock, but I met a friend on the way and chatted for a while, so I didn't pay attention to the time."
Luo Xuelan was just thinking about something, so her expression was a little serious.
However, when she saw her son, she had an idea.
"Jing Huai, I'll give you a chance to make amends, do you want it?"
—
It was already very late at night when Yuan Jia returned to her residence.
Seeing the mess in the living room, she was stunned for a few seconds, then went upstairs to rest as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Wei, who was sleeping in the guest room, was awakened by the footsteps and ran out without even having time to put on his clothes.
"Big sister, you're finally back. Where have you been? I've been looking for you for the whole day!"
Yuan Jia looked at her brother tiredly, frowning tightly, "Did you smash the building downstairs?"
Yuan Wei said embarrassedly, "I was careless for a moment. Your safe is so heavy that I thought there must be something valuable inside, but when I opened it, it was empty. Sister, where are your gold and silver jewelry? Why is there not a single one left?"
Yuan Jia replied weakly: "Sold it."
"Sold it? Where's the money?"
"I hired a lawyer for Yi An."
"All used up?"
"Um."
While dealing with her younger brother, Yuan Jia walked towards her room.
She was exhausted after a whole day and now all she wanted to do was lie down and have a good sleep.
Yuan Wei held her back and said, "Sister, I'm in urgent need of money. You have to think of a way. Li Yuan and Yang Yang are still trapped at home, waiting for me to redeem them with money. You can't just stand by and watch them die."
Yuan Jia was exhausted and looked at her brother unhappily, "Don't you have a few properties under your name? If things don't work out, just sell them for the time being. I don't have the money to help you out."
"Sister, those things of mine are to be left to Yangyang. Why don't you sell your house? Yian is in jail now, and you can't live in such a big house by yourself. You might as well sell it and buy another one when you return to your hometown."
"We'll talk about selling the house tomorrow. I'm very tired and I'm going to bed first."
Seeing that Yuan Jia did not reject his proposal, Yuan Wei couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Okay, okay, big sister, go and have some rest. We'll talk again tomorrow morning."
After breakfast, Yun Mo first went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables for lunch, then went to the ice factory to order ice. Then she returned home and took out tapioca flour, glutinous rice flour, brown sugar and various fruits to make pearls and taro balls for the afternoon stall.
With Ling Chunhua's help, 50 servings of pearls and 50 cups of taro balls were quickly prepared.
At this time, the ordered ice cubes were also delivered.
Yun Mo put the ice cubes in a specially made wooden box, then placed a wooden board on top of the ice cubes, placed the porcelain jar containing pearls and taro balls on the board, and then closed the lid of the wooden box, thus making a simple refrigerator.
I have to buy a refrigerator.
Yun Mo wiped the sweat from her forehead and thought.
While teaching Ling Chunhua how to make delicious ice jelly, Luo Xuelan came with her son Xie Jinghuai.
"Xiao Mo'er, Xiao Chunhua, what are you busy with?"
For some reason, Yun Mo felt that Luo Xuelan’s smile looked a bit like Grandma Wolf.
"Auntie Lan, why are you here?"
Luo Xuelan pushed her son Xie Jinghuai in front of Yun Mo and said, "Hey, I found a good helper for you. Xiaohuai has nothing to do at home, so let him help Chunhua and help sell ice jelly at the stall today. You can go to the provincial capital with me."
Although Xie Jinghuai is not short, he is only 11 years old after all, and he is a young master who has been pampered since childhood. Yun Mo is very skeptical about letting Xie Jinghuai set up a stall on the street to sell snacks.
Seeing Yun Mo's hesitation, Luo Xuelan patted her son on the shoulder.
"Quick, show off for your sister Momo."
Before coming, Xie Jinghuai was very reluctant. It was so hot, he didn't even want to go out during the day, and he would wait until late in the evening to go out and play for a while. It would be better to kill him than to let him go out in the broad daylight to set up a snack stall.
But when he saw Ling Chunhua concentrating on rubbing the ice powder seeds, he suddenly became interested.
"Sister Momo, don't worry, I will definitely help you sell all the ice jelly and milk tea."
"Yes, Xiao Mo'er, just give Xiao Huai an opportunity to exercise. He will inherit the family business in the future. If he can't even do such a small thing, how can he do big things in the future? Right?"
After hearing what Luo Xuelan said, Yun Mo had no choice but to nod in agreement.
But before leaving, Yun Mo taught Xie Jinghuai how to make handmade ice jelly and pearl milk tea.
With Xie Jinghuai's high IQ, he would naturally be able to learn it quickly.
While Yun Mo went back to the room to change clothes, Luo Xuelan held the pearl milk tea made by her son and happily gave him instructions.
"Xiao Huai, work hard. I'll bring you a gift when I come back from the provincial capital."
Xie Jinghuai replied impatiently, "Got it."
Luo Xuelan couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched her son's cheek, "Such a handsome face, why are you stinking? You're scaring away the guests like this, don't you know?"
"Mom, don't touch me."
Xie Jinghuai said this with dissatisfaction, while turning his head away from Luo Xuelan's hand in disgust.
The more he hid, the more excited Luo Xuelan became.
"What's wrong with me touching you? I even cleaned your butt and took care of your poop and piss when you were a kid! Is there any part of your body that I haven't touched?"
Xie Jinghuai glared at his mother with shame and annoyance.
Luo Xuelan was about to continue preaching, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Ling Chunhua looking at her and her son with curiosity with her big round eyes.
Luo Xuelan was so touched by Ling Chunhua's cuteness that her heart melted. She smiled and said, "Chunhua, come on. If you need anything from Brother Xiaohuai, just order him around. Don't be polite. If he dares not to help, tell me when I come back and I'll take care of him."
Ling Chunhua blinked her eyes and said, "It's Uncle Xiaohuai, Grandma Lan."
Luo Xuelan slapped her forehead and said, "Yeah, I forgot about the seniority. Chunhua is really smart. No wonder she learned to make money at such a young age. She is such a good girl. I will bring you a gift when I come back."
Ling Chunhua's little face became redder and redder as she received Luo Xuelan's praise.
"Thank you, Grandma Lan."
"You're welcome. How about bringing you a doll as pretty as you are?"
"Um."
Looking at Ling Chunhua nodding like a chick pecking at rice, Xie Jinghuai curled his lips slightly.
