Chapter 50 Let’s settle new and old grudges together (Thirteen)
Ye Yao returned home and saw Zhang Qiufeng washing clothes, and frowned.
There are two big basins, and they are hung full on the drying strips.
She could tell at a glance that these clothes did not belong to them, mother and daughter.
"Mom, who are you washing clothes for?"
Zhang Qiufeng then saw her coming back and said with a smile: "These were sent by the neighbors. They asked me to help..."
"Why do you need my help?"
Ye Yao's expression immediately became fierce, and he had some bad thoughts.
"Yaoyao, don't get me wrong. It's not what you think. Everyone knows our situation, so they spontaneously organized to send these clothes over and asked me to help wash them. It's five cents per piece.
I've calculated that these can earn more than one dollar."
Zhang Qiufeng hurriedly explained that in order to support her and her mother, she usually went out to do odd jobs every day, but she did not earn as much as this.
Now that we have the help of our neighbors, our lives will be better in the future.
Ye Yao's eyes flickered again and again, and he did not relax at all because of this.
After a moment, she strode forward, pulled Zhang Qiufeng up from the bench, and rolled up her sleeves.
"You go and take a rest, I'll wash the rest."
Zhang Qiufeng was surprised for a moment, and then felt extremely relieved.
"How could you do such a thing? I'm not tired."
"If you're not tired, just watch from the side. If you really want to help, just wait a while and dry the clothes."
Ye Yao held his voice tight and did not allow Zhang Qiufeng to refute.
Zhang Qiufeng swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and stood beside her to help.
Looking at her clumsy movements, she was smiling.
She has really grown up and knows how to feel sorry for her and share her burden.
"Don't do this kind of thing in the future. I will think of other ways to make money."
Ye Yao lowered his head and rubbed it hard.
She has the ability to provide a good life for mother and daughter.
"Yaoyao, you don't want to go out to work, do you? I don't agree. You are a girl who has never been in contact with society. It's easy to be bullied if you go out.
And it’s not as easy to find a job as you think.”
Zhang Qiufeng refuted without even thinking.
I know my daughter well. She has no education and no special skills. She can't even do manual work because of her body shape.
Rather than letting her go out and run into obstacles everywhere, it is better for her to work harder on her own.
"Mom, don't underestimate me. Give me a month and I will definitely improve our family's living conditions."
In the past, it was because the old lady protected her too "overly" that she became dull and accomplished nothing.
But now she is no longer the same Ye Yao as before.
"I'm worried..."
"How about this, I won't stop you from doing these jobs for this month, and you will also support me in going out to earn money, okay? I can't be a loser and live off my parents for the rest of my life, can I?"
Ye Yao looked at Zhang Qiufeng's uneasy and resistant expression and took the initiative to step back.
Zhang Qiufeng couldn't argue with her, so she had to nod.
"But you have to promise mom that you must protect yourself outside. Don't force yourself if you can't do it."
"Well, I'll do what I can."
Ye Yao started to think about it and decided to make a plan.
"So what kind of job do you want to do? Can you tell mom first?"
Zhang Qiufeng looked at her determined look and began to feel curious.
Ye Yao was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Let me think about it, and I will tell you when I have figured it out."
