Chapter 255 The Early-Death Fisherwoman in the Hong Kong Variety Show World - Passerby A 4
Recently, everyone in the family has felt much better, especially Dad and Grandma Jiang, who both say they are much healthier than before. It's true that good things make people feel great. But that's just because Jiang Yue adds medicine to her porridge every day to regulate her body. Mom Jiang even thought Jiang Yue wanted to learn to cook and was planning to teach her how to cook.
The whole family was in very poor health; under normal circumstances, they wouldn't have lived much longer. Fortunately, Jiang Yue came. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been saved. Now that Jiang Yue is here, even if she doesn't live to a ripe old age, she can at least live a healthy life until the end. These past two days, when Jiang's mother went out to sell seafood, the neighbors joked that she looked much younger.
After resting for two days on Saturday and Sunday, Jiang Jun and Jiang Juan went to work on Monday. With Bai Ze taking care of them, they should have a bright future. Fearing that they would run out of money, Jiang's father went back to his old profession and went out fishing early in the morning. When Jiang Yue got up, there were only three people left at home. After getting up, Jiang Yue also pulled Xin Xin out of bed.
While Grandma was folding the blankets for Jiang Yue and Xin Xin, the two children were dressed. After breakfast, Jiang Yue put on her school uniform and went to school. This time, the two sisters were in the same school, so they had company on the way. After leaving the house, Jiang Yue held Xin Xin's hand, and the two sisters took a boat to the primary school on the island.
On the way, Jiang Yue encountered many people she knew. Seeing that Jiang Yue was wearing a school uniform, they all gathered around her. After chatting for a while, she arrived at school. School life was very simple and easy. The so-called troubles were nothing more than homework and grades, which were not a problem for Jiang Yue at all. Jiang Yue could even say, to her own arrogance, that there was no one in the world more knowledgeable than her.
With Jiang Yue around, her younger sister Jiang Xin also did very well in her studies. After graduating from elementary school, Jiang Yue chose a middle school close to home. Although the school's teaching quality was a bit poor, it was tuition-free and students would even get paid if they did well on the exams. After all, Jiang Yue wasn't worried about her studies at all. She could bring all the skills she learned to the next world. It was just that she was a little unfamiliar with them because she hadn't used them for a long time, but she could learn them by reading the books once or twice.
After Jiang Yue entered junior high school, she and Xin Xin were no longer in the same school. Xin Xin was still too young, so Jiang Yue still had to pick her up, otherwise her family would be worried. After arriving home, Jiang Yue helped her younger sister with her homework. After that, Xin Xin went to play with her friends, while Jiang Yue went to her mother's house.
Jiang Ma's stall is much bigger than before, and there are many more kinds of food on the stall. Jiang Yue was really tired of eating sesame cakes, so she got a cookbook, said she bought it from a store, and gave it to Jiang Ma. Since the snacks that Jiang Yue chose were simple and easy to make, the difficulty lay in the seasonings. So after Jiang Ma tried making them a few times, she started selling them.
Jiang Yue made a lot of money this year, but it also attracted those thugs who collected protection money. Normally, Jiang Yue didn't care; everyone just paid their share. Jiang Yue had the puppets deal with those who deliberately caused trouble, and they all went where they were supposed to go. Over time, word spread that the Jiang family was not to be trifled with. Those who caused trouble would disappear the next day. Because of this, the people in the market became much more disciplined.
Seeing Jiang Yue come over, Jiang's mother waved to her and asked, "Yue'er, have you finished your homework? How was school today?"
"That's great, I finished all my homework at school. Mommy, how was business today?"
"A big customer came today and bought a lot. He should be able to go home early. Yue'er, are you hungry? See what you want to eat, and Mom will get it for you."
Jiang Yue wasn't very hungry, so she stopped her mother. After another hour or two, the goods were sold out. After returning home and tidying up briefly, Jiang's father was about to return. Jiang's mother held Xin Xin's hand, with Jiang Yue beside her, and the three of them went to the dock. After finding Jiang's father, they helped him take the goods down. Today's catch was relatively small, and the goods were sold out at the dock. Jiang's mother didn't need to sell the remaining fish. Now that the family's financial situation had improved considerably, they planned to take them home to eat.
After returning home, Jiang's father went to take a shower. Jiang's mother checked the time and her older brother and sister would be back soon, so she started cooking. Halfway through cooking, her older brother and sister returned. Both of them had become team leaders, managing several people under them. It wasn't that Bai Ze wouldn't give them better positions, but rather that their current abilities were limited. The main reason was that Jiang Yue herself hadn't become a wealthy person yet. Once she was rich, the family wouldn't have to be so busy.
During dinner, Jiang's father asked Jiang Jun and Jiang Juan about their recent work situation. They both said that they had recently received a raise and their work had become much easier. Grandma said from the side, "You two must work hard. They are our family's benefactors. If anyone asks you to slack off or cause trouble, you can't do anything that betrays our family."
"Don't worry, Grandma, we won't do that."
"By the way, Juan'er, how are things going with you and your boyfriend? You've been dating for a few years now, haven't you?"
"That's fine."
"What's it like? Are you planning to get married? Or are you just going to keep dating?"
"I'm focused on my career now, so there's no rush."
Afterwards, Jiang's mother asked a few more questions, but the older sister obviously pretended not to hear and directly picked up her bowl and started eating rice. When she got annoyed by Jiang's mother's questioning, she betrayed her brother Jiang Jun: "Mommy, you should pay attention to your brother. He recently started dating a girlfriend."
The older sister's words successfully shifted the family's attention to the older brother. Seeing that the family's fire had turned to Jiang Jun, Jiang Juan breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she looked up, she saw Jiang Yue staring at her with wide eyes. Jiang Juan glared at Jiang Yue, then took out 10 yuan and quietly handed it to Jiang Yue.
After borrowing the money, Jiang Yue shook her head and held up two fingers to Jiang Juan, indicating that one bill wasn't enough. Jiang Juan's lips twitched, and she glared at Jiang Yue. Seeing that Jiang Yue was unmoved and still wanted to call her "Mom Jiang," Jiang Juan quickly put her hands together with a look of resignation and handed over another bill.
Jiang Yue took the money and smiled with satisfaction. Just as she was about to put the money in her pocket, she found that her hand was being held. Jiang Yue looked down and saw that her younger sister, Xin Xin, was holding her hand, her eyes fixed on the money in Jiang Yue's hand. She didn't say anything when Jiang Yue looked at her, but held on tightly and wouldn't let go.
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes, utterly speechless. She took out a bill and handed it to her. Only then did she let go of Jiang Yue's hand. "If you're so capable, why don't you scam your sister like me? What do you want from me... Damn, this is also scamming your sister. It's the same thing. You've shot yourself in the foot."
Jiang Yue and her two sisters' interaction was witnessed by their father, who smiled but said nothing. He was happy that the children got along so well. After dinner, Jiang's mother and eldest sister started clearing the table, and Jiang Yue and Xin Xin even helped wipe it. After they finished, Jiang's mother washed some fruit, and the family watched TV for a while before going to bed. They all had things to do tomorrow.
