Liu Tiantian glanced at Lin Chen beside her, and Lin Chen quickly gestured to Ning Jiaqi next to him.
Liu Tiantian, quick-witted as ever, immediately thought of Brother Wu and said, "He's a really cool uncle with glasses! This scumbag just happened to mess with that uncle. He thought he was the toughest, but he ended up getting beaten up and turned into an idiot by that uncle!"
"No matter who it is, may good people live a long and peaceful life!" Old Liu almost cried with joy, which made him believe once again that there is still fairness and justice in this world!
After this little incident, the group sat down to eat again. Liu Xinxin mentioned that now that everything was settled, she planned to take her child back to her hometown the next day.
"Sister, please don't go back! Our family has finally managed to get together. How will you manage with the child alone in the countryside?" Liu Tiantian said anxiously.
Since her mother passed away early, Liu Xinxin dropped out of school to work and went to the city to study with Liu Laosi. Since then, the family has been separated more often than together, which makes Liu Tiantian yearn for family affection and reunion even more.
"But what help can I be if I stay here?" Liu Xinxin asked helplessly.
"Oh right, right, Brother Lin Chen helped you find a job before!" Liu Tiantian suddenly remembered what Lin Chen had said to Su Hong'er in the private room of the bar.
All eyes turned to Lin Chen again. Lin Chen quickly wiped the rice grains from his mouth and said somewhat awkwardly:
"Oh, right, right, I almost forgot. Sister Xin Xin, a friend of mine owns a clothing store on the pedestrian street in the county town, and they're short-staffed right now. So I recommended you to her. If you're willing, you can go for an interview and start working tomorrow."
"That's great, Xinxin! Tiantian is right. How are you going to manage alone with the child in your rural hometown? It's perfect that Xiaochen has arranged a job for you, so we can all be together again," Wang Nanshan said happily.
Liu Xinxin was still hesitant, and she looked at Liu Laosi beside her. Seeing this, Liu Laosi quickly advised, "I think this is a good idea. Why don't you stay with Dad and Tiantian, Xinxin?"
"But Dad, what about our land?" Liu Xinxin was still a little worried.
"There are only a few acres of land, it's alright, leave it to Dad to farm, you don't need to worry about it," Liu Laosi comforted him.
Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, Liu Xinxin nodded. She looked at everyone gratefully, a warm feeling welling up inside her.
"Great, great! Our family can be together again!" Liu Tiantian was the most excited one, and she rushed into Liu Laosi and Liu Xinxin's arms, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.
This scene almost brought tears to Lin Chen's eyes. Because this was the home he had always wanted! A home filled with warmth and love!
"Why are you crying?" Ning Jiaqi pinched Lin Chen's hand secretly and teased, "I didn't expect you to care so much about that mom, even introducing her to a job! Now I'm a little confused. Do you like the older sister or the younger sister? Or... both?!"
Lin Chen hurriedly and awkwardly wiped his eyes, looking at Ning Jiaqi with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. This mischievous little princess always managed to deliver a timely and accurate dose of cold water at crucial moments!
"Oh, Brother Lin Chen, how about you let me help out at your friend's clothing store? My sister and I can go together, okay?" Liu Tiantian suddenly had another idea, snuggling up to Lin Chen and hugging his arm, acting all cute and charming.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat?" Old Liu was displeased as soon as he heard this. "I worked so hard to send you to school, and in the end you want to go to work in the same place as your sister? What's the point of your education then?"
"I never wanted to continue going to school, but you forced me to!" Liu Tiantian muttered impatiently. "I'm just not cut out for studying. My older sister would be better off going!"
"You brat, saying this now? Believe me or not, I'll slap you!" Old Liu glared angrily, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.
Wang Nanshan also advised, "Tian Tian, the college entrance exam is only a month away. If you say you're not going to study now and want to work, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted? You should at least finish the exam first!"
"Uncle Nan, do you know how many points I got on the last mock exam? With a score like that, which school would accept me? It would have been a waste of time!" Liu Tiantian decided to give up and ate her food in big mouthfuls.
Liu Laosi, while picking up his slippers, scolded, "You brat, how dare you say that? I work so hard to send you to school, and you don't even study properly. Look at your hair, who told you to dye it? And what's that thing on your ear? Why is there a cigarette in your bag? What's that tattoo on your arm? Are you even a student? Are you even a girl? How can you be so disappointing? Look at Xiao Chen..."
Liu Laosi was so angry that he was panting heavily. Liu Xinxin quickly patted his back and fed him some water.
However, Liu Tiantian, who was going through an extremely rebellious phase, wouldn't listen to any of this. The more Liu Laosi talked, the more excited she became: "I'm happy, that's called individuality, that's called freedom, why should you tell me what to do? You old bumpkin!"
"You..." Old Liu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
At this moment, Wang Nanshan noticed a detail. He secretly glanced at Lin Chen's previous class report card and discovered that Liu Tiantian was indeed ranked very low. And looking further ahead, the only name before Lin Chen, who was ranked second in the class, was—Ning Jiaqi!
"Jiaqi, I didn't expect you to be so amazing! Your exam scores are so high!" Wang Nanshan exclaimed in admiration.
Ning Jiaqi, who was still sulking with Lin Chen, quickly smiled sheepishly upon hearing this and casually said, "It's all thanks to Lin Chen for tutoring me; I have to thank him..."
The result was that, even if we didn't say anything, Wang Nanshan immediately seized on another piece of evidence against us!
"Xiao Chen, how come you're so good at your studies? Since you can teach Jiaqi so well, you can definitely teach Tian Tian well too, right?" Wang Nanshan's eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.
Lin Chen was dumbfounded, his mouth agape as he stood frozen in place. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"If that's really the case, then we'll have to trouble you, Lin Chen! My sister is actually very smart. If you can really help her improve her grades, our whole family will be extremely grateful!" Liu Xinxin also stood up and even bowed deeply to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen felt a little confused. What was going on? Was he really going to go all the way and help this delinquent girl to the very end? Not only had he helped these two sisters so much, but he also had to help this little punk with her studies...
