Lin Yongnian was so angry that his face turned blue. "Why has our family become a hell of a mess! She abandoned me, didn't want her children, didn't care about her grandchildren, and she still thinks she's right? When she's old, she still wants her children to give her money to support her, and when they don't give her money, she goes to court to sue her own children. Where in the world can you find a mother like this!"
Lin Yongnian was talking with saliva flying all over the place, and his chest was heaving violently with anger.
Lin Guodong and Lin Jianshe also looked extremely unhappy, feeling both angry and sad.
Liu Qin raised her eyebrows and nudged Lin Jianshe, who was sitting next to her, with her elbow, "Are you two brothers really your mother's biological children?"
Lin Jianshe pouted in annoyance and ignored her.
"No!" Lin Yongnian shouted, "Big brother, second brother, you should just pretend she doesn't exist as your mother. If she wants to embarrass herself, let her do it. If anyone asks you about it, just say she has abandoned our family and has nothing to do with us anymore!"
The two brothers Lin Guodong and Lin Jianshe looked at each other and then lowered their eyes. Since this was what their mother said, don't blame them for really treating her as if she didn't exist!
In Courtyard No. 23, Li Shuping was happily counting the money they earned that day with her daughter Lin Xiaoyu.
"Mom, I have five dollars and a half here."
Li Shuping held a stack of money in her hand and said with a smile: "I have ten yuan and two cents here, a total of fifteen yuan and seventy cents."
"Mom, you're amazing. You made fifteen dollars and seventy cents in one day!"
Li Shuping was also very happy. "Not that much. The ingredients plus the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and coal briquettes cost about 6 or 7 yuan, so the net profit should be about 8 or 9 yuan."
She calculated the cost of the ingredients for lunch, but not the cost of the seasoning and coal briquettes.
Lin Xiaoyu: “That’s a lot.”
It’s only eight or nine yuan a day, eighty or ninety yuan for ten days, and more than two hundred yuan for thirty days a month!
Li Shuping remembered something and counted out a dollar and handed it to her daughter Lin Xiaoyu, "Here, I'll give you one dollar as pocket money. From now on, mom will give you one dollar as pocket money every week."
The pocket money should have been given a long time ago, but she forgot about it because she had so many things on her mind these days.
She had seen on TV in her previous life that daughters should be raised in wealth and given enough pocket money. If you don’t give them enough, there are plenty of people out there who will give them, and the little yellow-haired girl can be coaxed away with a cup of milk tea.
She seriously suspected that her daughter in her previous life was coaxed away by Zhang Tiejun in this way.
In this era, soda only costs four or five dollars a bottle, and one dollar a week in pocket money is already a lot. Many people don't even have one dollar in pocket money in a month.
One dollar can buy twenty eggs at the supply and marketing cooperative.
She also has pocket money!
Lin Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "This, this is too much. You don't need so much. Two cents will be enough."
Zhao Siyu's father in their class is a section chief, and his pocket money a week is only 50 cents, which is already the highest pocket money among the people in their class.
"Here, when your two brothers were in junior high school, they had 80 cents a week in pocket money, and you have no less than them." Li Shuping stuffed the money into her daughter's hand.
"Just buy whatever you want to eat at school. Don't be stingy with the money. You can see that mom is making a lot of money now and can support you." Li Shuping nodded proudly at her daughter.
Lin Xiaoyu took the money and nodded vigorously, feeling very touched.
Mom is so nice, she wants to save all her pocket money and buy her a pair of leather shoes when her mom passes away.
"Okay, wash up and go to bed early. We have classes tomorrow." Li Shuping rubbed her sore waist and yawned.
All the ingredients are used up, and she has to set up a stall tomorrow. It will be too late to go to Sandao Village to collect them. But fortunately, there is a big market tomorrow, and the market is not far away. She has to get up early tomorrow and go to the market to buy vegetables and eggs.
Li Shuping and her daughter went to bed early, but the Lin family suffered from insomnia.
Li Shuping got up just as the sky was turning pale. She cleaned up the place quietly and just as she pushed the tricycle into the yard, she heard a "creak" and saw a slender figure walking out of Room No. 1.
The two were both startled when they saw each other. Qin Ye's Adam's apple rolled, but he still said, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Li Shuping replied with a smile.
After Li Shuping pushed the front of the car out of the yard, she felt the truck bed being lifted up.
It’s Qin Ye.
Li Shuping pushed the car out and turned back to thank Qin Ye, "Thank you."
Qin Ye lowered his head and said, "I should thank you. If you hadn't helped me the day before yesterday, I would have been taken to the Public Security Bureau."
He can't afford to pay five dollars.
"Hey, this is what I should do. I don't want to see a child like you being bullied."
Qin Ye raised his head and looked at her, then quickly lowered his head. It had been a long time since anyone treated him as a child. Since the day his father lost his job, he no longer treated himself as a child.
"It's not even dawn yet, where are you going?" Li Shuping asked curiously.
Qin Ye licked his lips and said, "I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if I can find some unloading work."
The supply and marketing cooperatives receive a lot of goods in the morning, and sometimes they can't unload them all, but they will find casual workers to help unload them.
This child really has a hard time, and Li Shuping's sympathy overflowed again.
After pushing the cart and walking with Qin Ye for a while, she suddenly asked, "I have a job, are you willing to do it?"
Qin Ye raised his head suddenly.
Li Shuping stopped and said, "I have a dumpling stall in the alley. I have to go out every day, so I don't have time to go to the village to collect eggs, leeks and other ingredients for making dumplings. If you go to the village to help collect some ingredients every day, I will give you 80 cents for each trip, and you will be paid on the same day."
She said this and made the number eight with her hands.
These days, the average worker earns 80 cents a day, so Li Shuping's salary of 80 cents is not low.
Giving him this amount is not considered exploitation, and daily payment does not count as an employment relationship, which can prevent people with ulterior motives from making trouble.
Qin Ye looked at the gentle and kind aunt in front of him in shock. What was she saying?
Did he hear it right?
She said she wanted to ask him to help collect eggs and leeks in the countryside, and she would give him 80 cents for each trip?
Eighty cents for one trip, ten trips is eight yuan, and if you make thirty trips a month, that's twenty-four yuan, which is a month's salary for a regular worker in a large factory!
Even if he could make less than 30 trips a month, but at least 20, he wouldn't have to worry about his budget.
Qin Ye's heart began to beat violently.
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Li Shuping started to ask.
"If you don't want to..." She was interrupted by Qin Ye before she could finish two words.
"I am willing. I am very willing. Thank you, auntie. I can help you collect eggs and leeks in the countryside every day!" Qin Ye's voice trembled with excitement.
Li Shuping smiled. "You didn't answer, so I thought you didn't want to. Okay, then you go home first. I'll go to the free market to buy vegetables and then give you money to go to the village to buy vegetables."
Qin Ye: "Aunt, I'll go to the free market with you."
Li Shuping smiled and waved her hand, "No, I have a tricycle, and I don't need anyone to help me move things, you can go home first."
After saying that, Li Shuping got on her tricycle and left.
Qin Ye stood where he was, watching her riding her tricycle into the morning light.
And she was like a ray of light, shining into his dark and invisible life.
