"Sister-in-law, I really have no money. This month's salary has not been paid yet!" Li Mei led Yao Yi and walked ahead. When she turned a corner, Yao Yi heard a familiar female voice say.

"Xu Jiaying, if you hadn't been saying that the milk tea shop is profitable, would your brother and I have borrowed money to open a shop? Now that the business is bleak, the Chinese New Year is about to come. If we don't pay back the money, we will have to pay the debt.

We're going to grab something from above! You have to come out with money today!" Sister-in-law Ji Guihua held her hand and yelled relentlessly.

"I really have no money. I only kept five yuan from last month's salary, and the money I got from the end of this month has not yet come to the end!" Ever since Xu Jiaying was fired for stealing the formula, she had been very kind to herself.

My sister-in-law seemed to have changed. She not only asked her to hand over all the salary she had saved before, but also verbally attacked her from time to time. Especially now that the business of the milk tea shop is not good, she would come over every now and then to talk to her.

If you ask for money and don't give it, you'll be insulted.

"No money? You're a loser. If you hadn't been saying that you can make more money by doing business, we wouldn't have both lost our jobs and been in debt. I really treat you like a family.

Man, you want our husband and wife to die. Come and take a look at this vicious girl. She wants to force me and her brother to death so that she can monopolize the family property. Why are you so cruel?

..." Ji Guihua's only purpose was to get money. She didn't care at all whether she was embarrassed or not. She kept wailing loudly to attract passers-by to come and watch.

"Sister-in-law, please get up first. I really don't have any money. How about we go home?" Xu Jiaying is a little girl after all. Seeing so many people watching her family's mess, her face suddenly turned red with heat, especially

When he saw one or two colleagues working together in the crowd, he lowered his head in shame and whispered into Ji Guihua's ear.

"Give me the money, or you will be responsible for the consequences!" Ji Guihua knew that this trick was effective, and she threatened in a low voice with a contemptuous smile.

"Sister-in-law, please let me beg you. If you go back first and wait for your salary to be paid, I will definitely give it to you!" Xu Jiaying compromised.

"Then give me the five dollars you have!" Seeing that Ji Guihua was forced to this extent, she knew that she really had no money, so she did the next best thing and wanted to take away the last penny from her.

"That five yuan has been used up!" Although Ji Guihua said that she kept five yuan on her, Ji Guihua always made excuses to ask Xu Jiaying to bring things, and almost all of the five yuan was used up by Ji Guihua.

"You are a wolf-hearted thing. Your brother and I are in danger, but you still have money to enjoy hot and spicy food. It's pity that we, brother and sister-in-law, have to eat one meal and not another. This girl is so young.

He's so evil..." Ji Guihua doesn't care how the money is used, she only knows that she must get the money from Xu Jiaying today.

"Sister-in-law, please don't say it, I really didn't..." Xu Jiaying's eyes turned red with shame, and she raised her hands helplessly to cover her face, but at this moment she saw Yao standing in the crowd.

Yi, thinking of the trust that Yao and Yi had placed in her, her eyes could no longer hold back from the corners of her eyes. She felt ashamed and tried hard to break free from Ji Guihua's shackles, and ran away without looking back.

"Bah... you stinky girl, if you have the guts, don't go home tonight!" Ji Guihua didn't expect that she didn't catch anything this time. She cursed angrily and patted the dust on her clothes because of her actions just now.

.

"The girl Yiyi just now seems to be Xiao Xu, a former employee of the milk tea shop, right?" Due to her short stature, Li Mei could only see a little bit of her through the gaps in the crowd, so she asked uncertainly.

"Well, it's her!" Yao Yi replied absentmindedly.

"Mom, I think I have almost bought all my things, so I will go back to the milk tea shop first!" Yao Yi just heard Ji Guihua's words, and a plan popped up in her mind. She has no intention of shopping now, she just wants to find something

Han Wen and the two discussed the feasibility of the matter.

"Didn't Xiaowen say you can't go there in the afternoon?" Li Mei asked puzzledly.

"Oh, I won't tell you anymore!" The shopping mall where Yao Yi was panicking was only a four- to five-minute walk away from the milk tea shop. Yao Yi ran to the shop in just two minutes.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Dong, who was chatting with customers, asked in surprise when he saw Yao Yi running in out of breath.

"You go first, where is Han Wen?" Yao Yi asked.

"Brother Wen is taking inventory in the warehouse!" Although Jiang Dong was curious about what was going on, which made Yao Yi, who had always been relatively calm, run over in such a hurry, but he guessed that there were customers present so he didn't ask any more questions and pointed to the warehouse behind.

"You'll come over in a moment!" Yao Yi confessed and walked straight to the warehouse.

"Is the news reliable?" Han Wen asked after hearing Yao Yi's description, frowning and thinking for a moment.

"It should be true. Xu Jiaying didn't see me before the dispute!" Yao Yi confirmed the authenticity of the matter.

"This way you can go home and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. Jiang Dong and I will verify it. If it's true, we'll take down the store and everything at a lower price!" Han Wen's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he said gentle persuasion.

"Yes, Yao Yi, you can celebrate the New Year at home with peace of mind. Brother Wen and I are here in Nancheng!" Jiang Dong also said.

"Okay, although I don't think it's a trap, we'd better find a reliable person to investigate!" Yao Yi explained worriedly, fearing that Han Wen and Han Wen would make impulsive decisions.

"I know, don't worry, we will definitely investigate clearly!" Han Wen assured with a smile and rubbed the top of Yao Yi's head.

"Don't pat my head. Don't you know that your head can be broken or bleeding, and your hair can't be messed up?" Yao Yi slapped his hand away and smoothly said this sentence that was once the most popular in later generations.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... A top student is a top student. This casual sentence is very philosophical!" Jiang Dong praised sincerely.

Yao Jianguo locked the door, carried two full snakeskin bags, and rushed to the bus stop in the city center with his wife and children.

"Yao Yi, uncle and aunt Xiaofeng, I guessed that you have a lot of stuff and it's hard to get it, so I asked Uncle Gang to take you to the station!" Yao Jianguo and his family had just crossed the road when they were looked at by Han Wen, who was waiting outside the black Santana.

Yes, he stepped forward and took the not-too-heavy bag from the hands of Yao Yi and his brother and explained enthusiastically.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Yao Jianguo had only seen this kind of car from a distance, and he was flattered and said.

"Uncle, you're too polite. It's just about my relationship with Yao Yi. There's nothing embarrassing to say!" Han Wen didn't let Yao Jianguo refuse the opportunity. He opened the trunk and took out the snake skins in Yao Jianguo's hands.

Bags, and other things carried by the four of them were put away.

"Uncle and auntie, please!" Han Wen opened the car door and invited a few people to get in and sit down.

"Wow sister, it goes so fast!" Yao Feng sat on Yao Yi's lap, his face pressed against the glass window, looking at the buildings and people flying back and forth outside with a look of surprise.

"This car is moving at a speed of 60 miles per hour, so you naturally feel it is going fast!" Han Wen explained, sitting in front.

"How fast can Brother Han go?" Yao Feng stopped looking at the scenery and asked curiously, lying on the back of his chair.

"The fastest it can reach is 120 or higher!" Han Wen recalled.

"Then how do you measure speed?" Yao Feng asked a new question.

"This is the car's dashboard, on..."

No matter what Yao Feng asked along the way, Han Wen always responded patiently, which made Yao Jianguo and his wife, who had been tense since they got into the car, relax a lot.

The four of them said goodbye to Han Wen, carried their luggage, and boarded the train bound for their hometown in Yi County. The train screamed wildly all the way, as if it was trying to notify relatives far away of their return for the returning wanderers.

After a day's train ride, Yao Yi's family finally arrived at the county seat of Yi County, but there was still a long distance from Qianjin Village where old Yao's family lived.

It was getting late. Yao Jianguo found a nearby hotel that looked relatively clean and stayed there, waiting to take the bus back to his hometown early tomorrow morning.

After a series of rides, transfers and walking on a small road for nearly ten miles, I finally arrived in front of Lao Yao's house before twelve o'clock.

"Mom and Dad, we are back!" Yao Jianguo carried something and shouted to the two old people sitting at a table in the main room eating.

"Third brother, you are back. You don't know that our parents have been standing at the door every day in the past few days, looking at the direction you must pass to go home. Now that you are back, they will feel relieved!" Yao Jianjun, the second child!

He stepped forward with a smile and gave Yao Jianguo a big hug.

"It's me, an unfilial son, who makes you worry!" Yao Jianguo said with his eyes red and his voice a little more choked.

"Don't listen to your second brother's nonsense, we are just old and like to see the scenery in the distance!" Grandma Yao Guan Cuilan rolled her eyes at Yao Jianjun and said lightly.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, please wait until after dinner. You must be tired and hungry after this journey!" Grandpa Yao and Yao Guinian glanced at Yao Yi and the three of them, whose faces were not very good, and said to everyone.

Since Yao Yi's family came back unexpectedly, Guan Cuilan was afraid that there would not be enough food, so she took her second daughter-in-law Zheng Huajuan to the vegetable field to pull some vegetables back.

After the meal, Yao Jianguo was pulled into the room by the old couple to talk. Li Mei was dragged aside by Zheng Huajuan to chat. Yao Yi took Yao Feng back, who was already drowsy, and had already prepared for his family of four.

Nice room.

"Why did you come back two days earlier this year than last year? Is it because business is not good?" Guan Cuilan remembered that last year Yao Jianguo's family did not arrive home until the afternoon of the 29th. She said that business was so good before the Chinese New Year that she could not bear to close the stall so early.

"The vegetable stall is no longer open, we are now doing other businesses!" Yao Jianguo explained.

"Why are the good vegetables not being sold? Have you encountered any problems?" Guan Cuilan knew that Yao Jianguo's family of four relied on the vegetable stall to make a living, so she asked worriedly.

"No, it's not that I lost the vegetable stall because I couldn't open an early breakfast stall and was too busy. In the second half of this year, Yiyi became sensible... so I set up an early breakfast stall!" Yao Jianguo gave a general account of what happened this year.

Once, the most proud one praised Yao Yi in front of his parents.

"So you bought a house in Nancheng?" Yao Guinian asked, grasping the point.

“Well, it’s not far from the city center!”

"Well, it seems you have decided not to come back here?" Yao Guinian listened to his son's description of Nancheng, and later when he heard about buying a house, he knew that this son would most likely not come back.

"Dad, Nancheng is better than ours in terms of development and education. If I don't have the ability, forget it. Since I have the ability, I can't come back for the sake of my children!" Yao Jianguo replied decisively.

"Oh, okay, I understand. You can go back and rest first!" Yao Guinian waved his hand in a low mood and asked Yao Jianguo to leave.

"This..." Yao Jianguo looked at Guan Cuilan in embarrassment, hoping she could say something.
