Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

Oh no, they're here to interrogate us.

I hesitated for a moment, then steeled myself, opened the door, and went out.

Su Wan sat on the sofa with her arms crossed and legs crossed. Seeing me standing there dumbfounded with my head down, she gestured with her lip toward the sofa next to her.

"What are you standing for? Sit down."

I said "oh" and carefully sat down opposite her, keeping my head down and not daring to look her in the eye, wondering how to start the conversation.

Before I could even think of anything, she asked first, "Chen An, where did your cousin take you today?"

My mind was preoccupied with how to explain, and after hearing what she said, I subconsciously replied, "Sister Wan, I really didn't do anything wrong. I just touched it to see if it was dry so I could dry it for you before washing mine."

A blush rose on Su Wan's pretty face, and she glared at me fiercely.

Today, when she went to do laundry, she found that the water was off, so she left the clothes in the washing machine, thinking she would wash them when the water came back on tonight. But she got busy and forgot about it.

I was lying in bed when I saw a guy selling clothes online and realized my clothes were still in the washing machine. I rushed out to check and found myself squatting in front of the washing machine, holding her stockings in my hand.

Su Wan knew I hadn't done anything, but the more you explain, the worse it gets, so she didn't even think to ask me again. But I just brought it up directly.

However, Su Wan didn't press the issue further. She glared at me and asked irritably, "I'm asking where your cousin took you and whether he introduced you to a job."

Seeing that she wasn't there to interrogate me, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "I ate at a restaurant and met a few bosses. That building materials guy, Brother Wang, even suggested I come work for him."

"No!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Su Wan sat up straight and looked at me with a serious expression: "No matter what job your cousin introduces you to, you can't work for him."

Upon hearing these words, a fire ignited within me.

I know Su Wan hates me. She hasn't given me a kind look since she picked me up from the train station. But now she's not letting me work with my cousin. Isn't that ruining someone's livelihood?

I felt wronged and angry, and couldn't help but speak up.

"Sister Wan, I came all the way from the countryside to stay with my cousin, just to find a job and earn money to make a living. I know you've always disliked me and look down on me because I'm from the countryside, but you can't stop me from working hard with my cousin and cut off my way out."

"you……"

Su Wan's chest heaved with anger, and it took her a long time to calm down. Her tone softened considerably: "I'm not cutting off your way out, but you can't do what your cousin does."

I was a little indignant: "Why can't I do it? I'm strong, I can endure hardship, and I can endure what others can endure. Why are you so sure I can't?"

My cousin dropped out of junior high school and started working his way up from a poor kid looked down upon by everyone in the village. He worked his way up to now owning a luxury car worth millions and has established himself in the city. Now, whenever people in the village mention my cousin, they give him a thumbs up and say he's successful.

I graduated from a junior college, and if he can do it, I don't believe I can't.

Seeing my sullen expression, Su Wan rubbed her temples and patiently persuaded me.

"Chen An, I know you want to make a lot of money, but the path your cousin is taking is really not suitable for you. If you really want to find a job, I can help you find a stable one."

I sensed something was amiss and asked suspiciously, "Isn't what my cousin is doing in the legitimate business?"

Su Wan was taken aback, then shook her head and said, "It's not exactly a crooked path, it's just that you're simple-minded and honest, so you're likely to suffer if you're with him. Anyway, just listen to me, I'll never hurt you."

What do you mean by "following your cousin is easy to get taken advantage of"? He's my own cousin, he watched me grow up since I was a child, how could he possibly harm me?

I responded with a reply and didn't argue any further.

But in his heart, he secretly thought that the reason Su Wan was so adamant about not letting me work with his cousin was simply because she was afraid that I would be a burden to his cousin.

Although I was quite unhappy, I could understand it after thinking about it again.

I saw on TV that many companies are very wary of nepotism, and anyone found to be involved will be fired.

She was probably afraid that her husband would lose his job because of me, her relative, so she deliberately kept a stern face from the beginning, trying to drive me away.

After chatting for a while, I got up and went back to my room.

Just as he was about to close the door, he saw Su Wan standing at the door, frowning as she looked inside.

"You're sleeping on the floor?"

I scratched my head sheepishly: "I saw that the bed was covered with brand new baby sheets and blankets, and I was afraid of getting them dirty. It's so hot outside, it's not cold at all to sleep on the floor."

Su Wan was speechless. How could this person be so honest?

"It's not cold today, but the room is damp. Sleeping on the floor can easily make you catch a cold and develop health problems later. Please wait here for a moment."

After saying that, she turned and went into her room, rummaging through drawers and cabinets as if looking for something.

About two minutes later, I heard her call me from inside: "Chen An, come in and help me."

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Su Wan standing on a chair in her nightgown, tiptoeing to reach for the sheets and duvet cover.

Hearing footsteps, she spoke without turning her head: "I'll hand you the bedding down. You need to catch it quickly. The closet is full of things, and I have to hold it steady with my hands. If I'm not careful, other things could easily fall down."

I quickly responded and stepped forward, standing under the chair and raising my hand to wait for their help.

Before the item could be handed over, Su Wan suddenly slipped, her body swayed violently downwards, and she lost her balance. In her panic, she stepped directly on my face.

This sudden turn of events left me frozen in place, completely bewildered.

Su Wan looked down and immediately saw that her foot was stepping on my face, and her face turned red to the roots of her ears.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Su Wan hurriedly tried to move her foot away.

Perhaps due to nervousness, she swayed violently in the chair, making it difficult for her to stand.

Without thinking, I instinctively grabbed her legs, afraid she would fall.

The moment your fingertips touch it, you feel a delicate and smooth texture, with a warm, skin-like feel that is soft and smooth.

Almost at the same instant, I clearly felt her whole body stiffen suddenly, and all her muscles tensed up.

Before I could say anything, Su Wan jumped off the chair with her bedding in her arms, her face flushed, and rushed out of the room.

The washing machine incident before could be explained as a misunderstanding, but this time, even I can't explain it clearly.

It must be admitted that Su Wan is really beautiful; she is flawless in every way.

I don't even know how I got back to my room. As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw Su Wan kneeling on the bed, making it for me.

I was taken aback for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister Wan, I can lay it myself, there's no need to trouble you."

As I said those words, I didn't even glance at her. I felt so guilty, and my heart was pounding uncontrollably. My mind was filled with the scene from just now.

"fine!"

Su Wan casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said with a light smile.

"Since you call me sister-in-law, then we're family. You men are always clumsy, so I'll take care of it. Otherwise, you'll tell your cousin that I always give you attitude."

As she spoke, her hands didn't stop; she bent over and carefully tidied the sheets and blankets.

Warm yellow light shone down from above, softly enveloping her, as if coating her with a gentle halo, making her gentle and moving, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

My cousin is really something. He has such a beautiful and virtuous wife at home, but he goes out to fool around every day. Does this really prove the old saying that wild flowers are more fragrant than home flowers?

Just then, a hand suddenly landed on my shoulder, and my cousin's voice rang in my ears.

"Is it pretty?"
