Chapter 118 Yaoyao, Don't Worry
The young man’s words were like thunder, exploding in her ears—“Your shop… is on fire!”.
My heart sank suddenly and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to my head.
Xu Yao ran out, her head buzzing as if a hundred bees were dancing wildly inside.
When the third sister saw that it was Uncle Zhang, she put on a smile that was uglier than crying: "Oh, it's Uncle Zhang, I was just... just passing by to see if Xu Yao was at home."
Uncle Zhang snorted, his eyes sweeping over her like a searchlight: "Just passing by? I think you are guilty! Who in the village doesn't know about your little deeds? You are old, and you don't care about your dignity anymore!"
The third sister was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She wanted to refute but didn't dare to. She could only stammer, "Uncle Zhang, you...you misunderstood. I really didn't do anything."
"You didn't do anything? You didn't do anything to burn down someone's shop? You didn't do anything to stab me in the back?" Grandpa Zhang was getting angrier and angrier, his spit almost spraying on the third sister's face. "I'm telling you, you have to have a conscience! Xu Yao is not an easy girl. If you dare to bully her again, I will be the first one to not let you go!"
The third sister was scolded so badly that she was so angry that she wanted to eat Xu Yao alive.
But on the surface, she still had to pretend to be pitiful: "Uncle Zhang, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again."
"Hmph, that's better!" Uncle Zhang snorted coldly and walked away with his crutches.
The third sister looked at Uncle Zhang's back and stomped her feet in anger.
Damn Xu Yao, she actually brought up Uncle Zhang to pressure her!
She couldn't swallow this!
At this moment, the loud speaker in the village suddenly sounded, and Xu Yao's voice came out: "Dear fellow villagers, I am Xu Yao. Thank you for your concern and support during this period. In order to thank you, I have decided that anyone who comes to my store to help with the reconstruction will be provided with three meals a day, plus a salary of ten yuan!"
"Wow!"
The villagers were immediately excited.
Three meals a day and ten dollars left, this is a great thing!
You know, nowadays the villagers can’t earn more than five yuan even if they work very hard all day.
When the third sister heard the news, she almost vomited blood.
Xu Yao's move was like cutting off the fuel from under the cauldron, directly roasting her on the fire.
Now that the whole village is helping Xu Yao, how can she still cause trouble?
What made her even more upset was that Xu Yao said in a sarcastic tone through the loudspeaker: "Of course, I also want to remind some people to be honest and not to do anything behind their backs. Otherwise, I will have to tell everyone about the ugly deeds of some people!"
Xu Yao's voice was not loud, but it was like a sharp sword, piercing the third sister's heart.
She knew that Xu Yao was warning her.
The third sister was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she didn't dare to lose her temper.
She is now a rat crossing the street, everyone is shouting at her to be beaten. If she continues to make trouble, she will probably be ruined.
After weighing the pros and cons, the third sister could only grit her teeth and decide to restrain herself temporarily.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
When she finds the chance, she will make Xu Yao pay!
Returning home dejectedly, the third sister fell headfirst onto the bed, becoming angrier the more she thought about it.
She was unwilling to accept it, she really was unwilling to accept it!
Just then, her cell phone rang. It was her ex-husband calling.
"Hey, what are you doing?" the third sister asked unhappily.
"I want to tell you something." The ex-husband's voice was a little excited. "I heard that Xu Yao seemed to be looking for investment and preparing to expand the scale."
"So what?" The third sister rolled her eyes.
"You are stupid!" the ex-husband said angrily, "We can interfere and trip her up! For example, we can..."
The two of them whispered to each other on the phone for a long time, with sinister smiles on their faces.
At this time, Xu Yao was sitting in Uncle Zhang's house, looking worried.
"Yaoyao, don't worry. There will always be a way out." Grandpa Zhang comforted her, "I will help you find a way to fund the project."
Xu Yao looked at Uncle Zhang gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
"Why thank you? You are just too strong-willed." Uncle Zhang sighed, "By the way, when are you and Xue Han planning to get married?"
Xu Yao blushed slightly: "It's not decided yet, let's wait until things in the store are stable."
"Okay." Uncle Zhang nodded, "But you have to hurry up. There are not many men as good as Xue Han."
Xu Yao nodded, but felt even more annoyed.
The business transformation required a large amount of capital, which put her under great pressure.
Moreover, she didn't know whether her third sister would really give up, and she was worried that she would continue to do bad things in secret.
At the same time, her daughter's transformation still needs time to consolidate, and Xu Yao feels that the road ahead is still full of challenges.
She let out a long sigh, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Mom, what are you doing?" The daughter suddenly came over, holding an apple in her hand and handed it to Xu Yao.
Xu Yao took the apple and patted her daughter's head: "It's okay, Mom is thinking about something."
The daughter hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Mom, are you short of money?"
Xu Yao was stunned for a moment and nodded.
The daughter bit her lip and said, "Mom, I...I have some money here, you can use it first."
As she spoke, the daughter took out a bulging wallet from her pocket and handed it to Xu Yao.
Xu Yao looked at the wallet in her daughter's hand, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She knew that this money must have been saved by her daughter through her frugal life.
"Where did you get so much money?" Xu Yao asked in surprise.
The daughter stammered, "I...I usually have some part-time jobs and saved some money."
Xu Yao knew her daughter was lying, but she didn't expose it. She knew that her daughter wanted to help her.
"Good girl, thank you mom." Xu Yao hugged her daughter tightly, her eyes a little moist.
Just then, Xue Han walked in and saw Xu Yao and her daughter hugging each other, a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?" Xue Han asked softly.
Xu Yao shook her head: "It's okay, we were just talking in private."
Xue Han smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
He walked to Xu Yao and gently put his arm around her shoulders: "Yaoyao, no matter what happens, I will be by your side and face it with you."
Xu Yao raised her head and looked at Xue Han's determined eyes, feeling extremely relieved.
"Yeah." She nodded with a slight smile on her lips.
Suddenly, Xue Han's expression became a little strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he didn't say it, but just looked at Xu Yao with hesitation...
