Ying Han felt that Tongtong was probably saving money on her own. Once she had enough money to take care of herself, she would definitely leave the control of Jia Ying's family.
The two children drank some soup, and Deng Chen added some noodles to the pork rib soup.
When Ying Han was cleaning the kitchen, Tongtong hurried out to help her.
Ying Han tried to stop her, but he couldn't stop her.
He also said that she didn't need to get up in the morning to help with cooking.
As a result, when they got up the next day, the meal was already prepared.
Ying Han smiled helplessly.
...
"I was only out for two days, and you were so good. No one was watching you for two days, but you learned to be lazy and didn't go home or do business for two days. Who gave you the courage? You don't want this month's salary, just use it to offset the loss you caused me in the past two days."
"Aunt, that's not the case. You lost face the day you left. I told you, and you told me to ask my uncle for money to buy it, but...but my uncle wouldn't give me any, so I had no choice."
"Your uncle won't give you money? Oh, but your uncle said that since you didn't go home and couldn't see you at all, how could he give you money? If you're lazy, then be lazy, but you have to make up such a lame excuse. You've been bolder after coming to the city for a few months. Did you meet someone and coax you into going with him? Where have you been these days?"
"I found a house for ten yuan a month. I couldn't work these past few days, so I took advantage of this time to find a place for myself. I felt bad living at my cousin's house all day long. Now that I have a salary, I can pay the rent every month."
"So you have money to pay the rent now, no wonder you can't come back. Where did you rent the house?"
"It's quite far, in the north. After all, the rent is cheap."
Jia Ying raised his eyebrows and didn't want to ask her where she lived. It was just right that she moved away. Now that he was living in her house, with one more person, he always felt so restricted.
Now she doesn't have to pay for it and can move out on her own, and she's happy about it.
Jia Ying gave her a sullen look, crossed his arms and said, "The flour will be here soon. Hurry up and go to work today to earn back the money you earned over the past two days."
"Aunt, it's too late to make the dough now."
"Why not? If you send it out now, you can make it in the afternoon. You can sell it in the afternoon. Don't think about being lazy again."
"It's cold out first, so it's hard to make the dough rise. We can make it in the afternoon, but the pancakes won't taste good, which will affect our reputation."
"Why do you have so many things to do? Just do what I ask you to do. I'll come to collect the money this afternoon. Behave yourself. Now that you've rented a house, pack up your things and move out."
"Oh... I'll go back and pack it up right away. Cousin, can you please not deduct my salary this month? I still have to pay the rent."
"Don't even think about it. You've caused me so much loss these past two days. Who can I ask for compensation? This is all your fault. Didn't I pay you last month? Stop giving me trouble and hurry up."
It was clearly her cousin who threatened her and wanted to take advantage of her, and he took the money and refused to buy noodles for her, so she had no choice.
She had no way to explain herself, and now her cousin's wife had deducted one month's salary from her. She didn't have much money to begin with.
She felt embarrassed to live in someone else's house. After paying the rent, she had very little money left.
Tongtong felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red, but she didn't dare to resist and could only endure it silently.
While my cousin was not at home in the morning, I went back to pack up my things and put them in the store.
Because she didn't have the key to Ying Jie's house, she could only wait until night to bring it back.
The noodles were delivered just at that moment, and she had to busy herself with making the noodles and cooking.
While waiting for the noodle shop to open in the morning, Tongtong was thinking about how she could make some money.
She now has to get up at four in the morning to bake pancakes in the store, and she has no time at all in the morning.
I am busy until almost nine o'clock in the evening.
After nine o'clock, there were few people on the street and she didn't know what to sell.
The only places where people can be found after nine o'clock are the snack street, the bus station and the train station.
However, now people are not allowed to enter the train station to sell things.
Then there is only the bus station.
There are things to eat on the road, but no one would eat dry bread.
Omelette or pie is good.
I just don't know if she has the time to do it.
Tongtong had a plan in mind and planned to try it out in a few days.
It's impossible for her to work for her uncle and aunt here for the rest of her life.
She also wants to go to school and start her own business.
There is definitely no time to make money while she is in school, so she has to save enough money first.
In the evening, Tongtong brought her things over and gave Yinghan ten yuan for rent.
"Sister Ying, I know you don't need these ten dollars, but I have to give you this money. Please keep it, otherwise I will be too ashamed to live here.
Don't worry, I won't stay here for too long. I'll move out as soon as I find a house."
Ying Han took the money and didn't say whether he would move out or not.
If she finds a house, I will be happy for her.
...
Deng Chen has been running around the construction site quite frequently these days and has discovered many irregularities.
During this period, they are being asked to step up rectification.
But he suddenly came here that night because there were also things that needed to be dealt with in City A.
So Deng Chen has to go back again.
But he was worried about the three of them, mother and son.
Ying Han didn't care. "Don't worry. If we encounter danger again, I will protect myself and the child. But I didn't care about anything and just took the child to hide in the space. Besides, there are not so many such things in life.
After this time, I guess no one will dare to pay attention to us.
And now Tongtong is also in our house. Having one more person means more courage.
Also, Teacher Ren's home is next door, so I can always help if I need anything."
"Okay, the holiday will be over in a few days. I'll pick you up then."
"Um."
Deng Chen returned from the space again. It was probably time for the holiday at work.
There's more going on over there.
...
Tongtong secretly made more than a dozen pies in the shop today. She waited for Jia Ying to come over, collect the money, and then went back.
He counted the remaining cakes and turned away.
Two of the remaining cakes were her dinner.
Not a single one of the remaining ones can be left behind, as the money must be handed in tomorrow.
Tongtong closed the door early today,
I carried a basket with the pie and the rest of the cake to the bus station.
He walked and hawked his wares along the way.
I also sold a few cakes.
The pies are relatively expensive, only fifty cents each. Although they are filled with vegetables, they taste very good.
Tongtong was holding a basket and walking back and forth at the entrance of the bus station, selling her goods.
In two hours, all the cakes in the basket were sold out.
I made at least 5 dollars today.
Tongtong was so happy that she bought a candied haws for Baiyu and Anan.
It was almost ten o'clock when I got home.
Bai Yu and An An have both fallen asleep.
"Tongtong, you're back." Ying Han didn't know that she had secretly gone to the bus station, and thought she had just got off work.
"Sister Ying, did I wake you up?"
"No, I haven't slept yet."
