Chapter 154 Raising a Money Tree
Yin Dong replied lazily: "No."
Jiang Yuan's heart dropped back into her stomach, but her chest felt empty for a moment, and her cheeks felt slightly hot. Perhaps she felt uncomfortable being rejected so bluntly, so she quickly ended the conversation. "Then you should eat well and get some rest. I'm going to sleep first."
He didn't reply, so she waited a second and hung up.
On New Year's Eve, as usual, the convenience store will be open all morning, mainly selling fireworks and miscellaneous items for the New Year.
This day was always very busy in previous years. Jiang Yuan would get up early in the morning and go downstairs to the store to help her mother.
Jiang Yuan stood at the door of the store, helping to sell fireworks and firecrackers. From time to time, people from the town would pass by and come over to say hello.
"Hey, Yang Xue, your precious daughter is back."
Yang Xue would always come out of the store at this time and quickly respond politely, "Yes, I'm back after the New Year and will leave soon. I can't stay for a few days. Hey, bring some firecrackers for your grandson to play with."
That person will often refuse, "No, no"
At this time, Yang Xue would show a rare strong side. She would pull the person over and either grab a handful of firecrackers or a bundle of fairy wands and stuff them into their hands, saying, "They're not worth much. Give them to the child."
Jiang Yuan saw everything. Her mother used to be kind to others, but now she is deliberately trying to please others.
But there are also people who will not give her face no matter how enthusiastic she is.
That person was a former neighbor who later moved to another place. Jiang Yuan remembered that the person did not get along with her mother and the two families had quarreled in the past.
The aunt stood in front of her, looking at her enthusiastically and said, "Yuanyuan is becoming more and more beautiful. She is just like your mother when she was young. She is really lovely."
If she had said this in the past, it would have been 100% praise and compliment, but the incident with her mother had spread throughout the town, and she couldn't have been unaware of it. It was difficult for Jiang Yuan to tell whether her words were unintentional or intentional sarcasm.
It was New Year's Day, and she didn't want to make her mother sad, so she lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear.
Yang Xue looked embarrassed and casually grabbed a handful of firecrackers and handed them to her grandson, "Take it and play with it."
"I heard that you've paid back all the debts. Two million is no small sum. It wasn't easy. Did you borrow it?"
The aunt deliberately lowered her voice, moved closer to her mother, and put on a hypocritical look of concern on her face.
Yang Xue was forced to nod, "Yes, they were all borrowed by Yuanyuan."
The aunt's eyes darted around like machine guns, scanning Jiang Yuan again. She sighed thoughtfully, "You're such a capable girl. You were able to borrow so much money in one go. Yang Xue, you've got a real money tree. You'll have a lot of luck for the rest of your life."
Jiang Yuan felt as if she had been spat on. Her anger surged up, and she immediately stopped the old woman with a frown, "What do you mean by being so sarcastic?"
Yang Xue immediately stepped forward and held her back, "Yuanyuan, don't be so rude. She's your elder."
The old woman was clearly not someone to be trifled with. She rolled her eyes and immediately acted like a shrew. "I called you a cash cow, and you're not happy about it. I didn't call you a little bitch, so why are you so anxious?"
The anger in Jiang Yuan's heart suddenly flared up. She grabbed the seven or eight-year-old grandson who was hiding behind the old woman and cursed at him, "Whose little bastard is this?"
