Su Xueli smiled and said, "Auntie, we have an agreement, but I don't know if my little sister Jiu is willing to do it."
My aunt assured me, "She'd be willing, of course. How could she not want gold falling from the sky?"
Just then, Xiao Jiu ran into the house with several young girls and boys. As soon as she entered, she said, "Mom, everyone's having dinner at our house today, hurry up and kill a chicken! Oh, Sister Xue Li, what brings you here?"
Su Xueli said with a smile, "You came to see my little sister Jiu, but I've been waiting for you for ages."
Xiao Jiu said to the group of people, "This is my cousin. You can come into my room first."
Then she ran over and grabbed Su Xueli's hand, saying cheerfully, "Sister Xueli, it's been so long! I heard you got divorced..."
"Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Your sister-in-law, Xue Li, has something important to discuss with you," her aunt scolded her.
Su Xueli smiled indifferently and said, "Aunt, it's okay. Divorce isn't murder or arson, there's nothing to hide. I'm Xiao Jiu, now divorced and running a small business. I've come to ask you for help, Xiao Jiu. I don't know if you'd be willing."
Then I told her about the job Xiao Jiu was going to do and her monthly salary.
Xiao Jiu was so shocked that her two black eyes almost popped out: "Sister Xue Li, is there such a good thing? I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Su Xueli said happily, "Then it's decided. It won't interfere with your gathering with your friends. Come see me tomorrow."
Then she told her the address of her rented apartment, saying that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to find her way home, and that she would wait for her at the entrance of the alley after breakfast the next day.
Xiao Jiu said, "No need to wait, no need to wait. I wander around town every day, I know every ant, how could I not find the place you're talking about? Sister Xue Li, have dinner here before you leave, my friends and I will take you back."
Su Xueli waved her hand: "No, no, no, I have something else to do, so I can't eat here. I'm leaving now."
She said goodbye to her aunt's family and came out. Seeing that it was almost time for He Yujie to get out of school and go home, she went to his house.
He Yujie's parents run a business in a shop in town and stay there at night. He Yujie prefers peace and quiet, so he lives at home by himself. Therefore, coming to his house doesn't cause as much trouble as being interrogated by his parents.
Because of her cousin's situation, Su Xueli dared not face his parents.
When Su Xueli arrived at He Yujie's house, he had just entered the door and was washing his face on the washbasin stand by the kitchen door.
"Teacher He," Su Xueli called softly.
He Yujie looked up from the basin and saw Su Xueli. His pupils widened instantly. He hurriedly put on his glasses and asked somewhat flusteredly, "Xueli, what brings you here at this hour?"
Su Xueli glanced at the courtyard gate and whispered, "Let's go inside and talk, Teacher He."
He Yujie quickly wiped his hands and face with a towel and said, "Okay, let's talk inside."
Then he led Su Xueli into the house.
After taking her seat, Su Xueli said directly, "I saw Yulan off this morning. Don't worry, she went to see my cousin, she'll be fine. I'll go see them when I go to the city to deliver goods."
He Yujie knew perfectly well that his sister was determined to leave home, but upon hearing this, he still said sadly, "Well, let her go. I knew she would tell you, so I'm relieved. Thank you."
Su Xueli said with some guilt, "What are you thanking me for? I feel quite uncomfortable. She did all this for my cousin, but it seems that the conflict between our two families is irreconcilable. I don't know how far this couple will go or how many hardships they will have to endure."
