Rebirth Must Be Happy

"what happened?"

As they approached the neighborhood, Xu Jinhuan slowed down and noticed Chen Xingzhu staring at her phone for a long time. Curious, he asked her about it.

"Xingruo".

Chen Xingzhu typed a brief reply before saying to Xu Jinhuan, "Aunt Shan sent me a message asking me to talk to Xingruo when I have time, saying that she hasn't been very happy lately."

Xu Jinhuan asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Was it because we didn't call her when we were catching fish?"

Song Zhiyu, sitting in the back seat, grinned and said, "We'll go catch them with her next time she comes, but not during the New Year."

Xu Jinhuan said irritably, "Do you think she would go fishing in the river during the Chinese New Year?"

Chen Xingzhu smiled and then said, "I had a fight with my dad. It's okay, I'll talk to her about it later."

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu didn't elaborate, so Xu Jinhuan didn't press the matter further. He parked the car downstairs and went upstairs first, followed quickly by his parents and Xie Wanqing.

"Shall we blow it up today?"

Song Xiaohui asked, "If we want to fry fish, we need to clean the fish first..."

All three girls disliked and couldn't do the job, and Xu Jinhuan also disliked it. In the end, they found that their mother also disliked it, so they finally pushed it to their father.

Xu Haiguang had just picked up his new car and was in a good mood. Without saying a word, he grabbed a small knife and started cleaning the fish. Xu Jinhuan and the other three had been working hard all afternoon. They exchanged a few words, and Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu watched as Xiao Guai ate two small fish before going upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.

After the water heater was heated up, Song Zhiyu went to get her clothes and take a shower. She had been catching fish all afternoon, and although she was quite careful, she and Xu Jinhuan were not very dirty, but they all smelled fishy. She didn't notice it while playing, but now she felt uncomfortable.

After Song Zhiyu finished showering, Xu Jinhuan went to take a shower. Just as she entered, she suddenly heard her ask from outside, "By the way, how much have the advertising fees gone up?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "I haven't seen it yet. You can ask Sister Wanqing."

"He just won't tell me his phone password!"

Song Zhiyu failed again, and snorted in dissatisfaction outside, ignoring him.

Are you kidding me?
Xu Jinhuan's phone contains many photos that shouldn't be shown in public; how could he possibly let her see them?

It wasn't just the photos taken with Chen Xingzhu at Feilai Stone. Although the photos of Xie Wanqing weren't intended to be obscene, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks after discovering that Xie Wanqing had photos of her.

Although Song Zhiyu was angry, she didn't forget to check the financial situation. Now, the delays for advertising on Apple and Google have been reduced. Apple can pay the previous day's advertising fees by 4 pm the next day, while Google's data is displayed in real time with a delay of a few hours, but the whole day's data is also available around 4 or 5 pm the next day.

"Apple has reached 6000, and Google has reached 2000!"

Xie Wanqing replied to the message after a while, her words filled with surprise: "Google's advertising fees are slowly rising."

"Eight thousand in total?"

Song Zhiyu almost jumped for joy and typed in the group: "I'm so envious. I wish I could earn eight thousand a day... less is fine too, six thousand would be enough."

"so much?"

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu came down quickly to help fry fish and cook. Mom also fried some meatballs and sugar cakes, and then made a meatball soup.

During the meal, the couple learned that advertising fees had increased again, which surprised them greatly, but also intensified the sense of loss that had been lingering in their hearts.

Xu Haiguang, in particular, works incredibly hard, but he only earns a little over two thousand a month despite working himself to the bone. His son, on the other hand, earns over eight thousand a day without doing almost anything, which adds up to two hundred and fourteen thousand a month.

How could I not feel disappointed?
"Dad, Mom,"

Xu Jinhuan naturally sensed her parents' thoughts, and seeing that the time was right, she took the opportunity to suggest, "I think Uncle Li's suggestion last night was quite good. Why don't you quit your job, Dad, and start a small business with Mom?"

"I feel so too."

Song Zhiyu never considered herself an outsider and joined in, saying, "It doesn't matter how much we earn. If we lose money, my brother can earn some more. After all, we're our own boss now, right?"

Song Xiaohui sighed, "The key is that we don't know what to do!"

Xu Jinhuan asked, "How about setting up a courier point?"

"Yeah!"

He briefly explained the operating model, and the three girls' eyes lit up. Song Zhiyu enthusiastically agreed, "Now you have to run several hundred meters to pick up a package, I don't want to go..."

Song Xiaohui asked Xu Haiguang, "Is there an empty shop around the corner? It hasn't turned the corner yet, has it?"

Xu Haiguang said, "Isn't that place too remote?"

The two were talking about the location at the end of the left turn from the entrance of the residential area. It used to be a hardware store in a not-so-good location, but it closed down a while ago, and the store hasn't been transferred yet.

"It's fine with the delivery. I'm not picky about the location. I'll pick it up as soon as it arrives."

After Xu Jinhuan found out the location, he smiled and said, "And it's not that remote. Once the express delivery business picks up, we can sell some fruit and stuff."

Are there that many packages?

My parents aren't very trusting of these new things. "What if there's no delivery? Wouldn't all our work have been for nothing?"

"a lot."

Song Zhiyu tried to persuade them, "You can check other courier shops first, there are really a lot."

"It's quite a lot."

Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing both nodded. They don't buy much online these days; they mainly buy snacks for Xiaoguai, as there's a wider variety available online. Chen Xingzhu added, "I bought some canned food for Xiaoguai, and it arrived this afternoon."

"I'll go get it then."

Although her parents were suspicious, they didn't delay and went with her to pick up the package after dinner. They didn't say anything explicitly after they got home, but it was obvious that they were interested.

Xu Jinhuan didn't urge him. He was just making a feasible suggestion. He didn't necessarily want his parents to do it. Anyway, he didn't expect his parents to earn money. It was enough for them to have something to do.

"dong dong dong"

The next morning, Xu Jinhuan was woken up by his alarm clock. It was the first day of school, and there was no need for early morning self-study, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to adapt, so he deliberately got up a day early.

After waking up and brushing her teeth, Xu Jinhuan felt she had adjusted and her goal was achieved, so she went back to sleep.

"Brother, Sister Xingzhu, how are you going to get to school later?"

While eating breakfast, Song Zhiyu asked curiously, "My brother hasn't ridden his bicycle back yet, has he?"

The day before yesterday, Xu Jinhuan rode his bike to dinner, but after finishing his meal, he arrived in Mercedes-Benz. He had left his bike there for two days and hadn't even thought about riding it back.

"Let's drive there!"

Xu Jinhuan replied without hesitation, "We haven't even finished the whole tank of oil yet."

"..."

Chen Xingzhu clearly hadn't considered this option. Upon hearing this, she paused for a moment, then widened her eyes slightly as she stared at him, seemingly to confirm whether he was joking.

"My tires have been deflated so many times, and I've never complained to them."

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, his gaze swept across the room, exuding an air of domineering arrogance. "This time, let's see who dares to let air out of my tires!"

Song Xiaohui retorted, "Why are you driving a Mercedes to school?"

Xu Haiguang, however, understood his son and said, "He wants to show off, so let him have it."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Mom, you have one vote against, and we have five votes in favor, so the opposition is invalid."

Song Zhiyu raised her hand and said, "I also object!"

Then she stared at Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu, and secretly winked at Xie Wanqing. Before Xie Wanqing realized what she meant, she saw Chen Xingzhu also raise her hand.

???

Xu Jinhuan looked at her in disbelief.

“I agree with my aunt.”

Chen Xingzhu avoided his gaze and spoke in a low but clear voice. As she spoke, the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she were secretly laughing, or perhaps it was an unconscious gesture of shyly pursing her lips.

"Me too."

Before Xu Jinhuan could recover from the blow, she saw Xie Wanqing raise her hand and say, "I agree with Auntie."

"..."

Xu Jinhuan and her father exchanged glances. Xu Jinhuan wanted to say that she had a veto power, but a veto was not a guarantee of approval. So she could only continue to reason with her mother: "Mom, it's so hot. What if Xingzhu gets a tan?"

Before Chen Xingzhu could speak, he added, "Besides, if we drive to school, we can go home for lunch after school in the morning, isn't that great?"

Song Xiaohui wavered a little.

"Aren't you afraid I'll be too flashy? But when Xingzhu brought the car back a couple of days ago, all the students in our class already knew about it."

Xu Jinhuan continued to persuade her, and after much hesitation, Song Xiaohui finally said, "Fine, fine, you can drive it if you want, but you'll have to pay for the gas yourself!"

Chen Xingzhu is quite shrewd when it comes to money, and the S500's fuel consumption is not insignificant. His mother was worried that Chen Xingzhu would end up paying half of the fuel costs again, so she spoke up in advance.

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Okay, as long as you let me drive there, I'll give you gas, or even inflate the mouthpiece."

"Can you blow one for me?"

Song Zhiyu pouted, then smiled sweetly, "I still agree with Auntie, I'll listen to Auntie!"

"Sister Wanqing, you're too slow to react!"

After breakfast, Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu carried their schoolbags downstairs. Song Zhiyu accompanied Xie Wanqing to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and said in a low voice, "Look, I reminded you, but you still haven't realized it. Whether now or in the future, if my brother and my aunt have a disagreement, you must stand with my aunt... Look how quick Xingzhu's reaction is?"

"..."

Xie Wanqing felt that she was being taught how to be a daughter-in-law, but how could she possibly say such a thing? She didn't respond, but couldn't help but secretly mutter to herself:
"Xingzhu reacted so quickly, but not as quickly as you!"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Song Zhiyu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately felt guilty and said the half-sentence she had originally planned to keep to herself: "But this is what's on the surface."

Xie Wanqing looked at her with some confusion.

"They'll outwardly support my aunt, but in reality, they'll definitely stand with my brother!"

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Song Zhiyu rolled her eyes, wondering if she had found a terrible partner. "Otherwise, how could I make my brother like you more and more?"

Xie Wanqing's cheeks flushed even more. Before she could think further, she subconsciously asked, "Like you?"

Then Song Zhiyu's face flushed red. (End of Chapter)
