Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"Big sister, I want to feed Yichu's cats and dogs."

As soon as Xia Yichu left, Wu Qiuyue couldn't wait to tell her older sister.

Wu Qiuyue figured it out: coming here meant she didn't have to interact with other people, she only had to deal with animals, and she even got paid.

"Fine, it's your decision."

Wu Qiuhong knew her sister's character and didn't need to tell her anything. The landlord had introduced her to the job because she saw that her sister was quick and hardworking.

Her sister lost because she didn't like to talk, didn't know how to say nice things, and only knew how to work silently.

She didn't know why that person in the cafeteria treated her sister that way. The two sisters depended on each other for survival, and she didn't want to cause trouble.

I only told the landlord that my sister didn't want to do it and wanted to stick cardboard boxes at home, and the landlord didn't say anything.

"Big sister, Sister Yichu said she'll give me three hundred yuan a month."

"No, it's just helping to feed her, how can I take her money?"

"But Sister Yichu said she'll be away for a long time, maybe not until school starts. Even if it's a month or two, can't we still take her money?"

Wu Qiuyue wanted money, but she was too stupid. Her older sister made her work as a waitress in a restaurant, and the boss only let her go because of her older sister.

However, she got very nervous when customers talked to her, sometimes couldn't answer, and spoke softly. After a few days, the boss didn't want her anymore.

The restaurant didn't need anyone to wash dishes, and the landlord finally agreed to introduce her to a job, but she couldn't continue after working there for half a month.

"We can't charge that much. A hundred a month is enough. Feeding him three times a day doesn't even take three hours. We can't charge Yichu that much."

Wu Qiuyue knew that 300 yuan a month was indeed too much, but her older sister earned 480 yuan a month, which required rent and support.

She can't save much money each month, and her older sister says she wants to save money to start a business; she doesn't want to work for someone else her whole life. At this rate, she doesn't know when she'll be able to save enough to start a business, and she's very anxious. She also hates herself for being so awkward and tongue-tied, and now she's even afraid to go out and meet strangers.

"Big sister, I understand."

"Qiuyue, Yichu is my only friend. Some things are more important than money."

"I'm back, Qiu Hong, come quickly and open the door for me."

Xia Yichu called from the doorway, carrying things in both hands.

"Okay, coming."

Wu Qiuhong opened the door and saw Xia Yichu carrying a meal in one hand and a jar in the other. She wanted to help her with the jar, but Xia Yichu dodged her.

"Please take the food; these containers are a bit heavy."

Xia Yichu handed her the food, which she took without saying a word. Xia Yichu had already gone inside, so she had no choice but to follow.

"Qiuyue, stop working and come eat."

Xia Yichu gently placed the fifteen jars down, saying they would be washed and dried before being used to fill the loquat paste. She then called Wu Qiuyue to eat.

"it is good"

Wu Qiuyue stood up to wash her hands before coming over. Wu Qiuhong took the food and placed it on the stone table in the yard. The table was right under the persimmon tree, so it wasn't hot and the sun couldn't reach it.

When the cats and dogs saw the food, they circled around Xia Yichu. Xia Yichu took out a portion of rice and poured it into each of their bowls.

She got four portions of food. Nowadays, people rarely have leftovers, and they wouldn't even give them the leftovers. So she just got one portion of food for them.

"Big sister, there's a chicken leg."

Wu Qiuyue swallowed hard as she looked at the chicken leg in her rice. Her older sister had bought it for her once when she first came to Shenzhen. That was the first time she had ever eaten a chicken leg. At home, the chicken legs for Chinese New Year were for her two younger brothers, and the three sisters could only get three or four pieces each time.

That time, her older sister only bought one chicken leg and was reluctant to eat it herself, so she ate it. She refused to eat it by herself and insisted on sharing it with her older sister. In the end, her older sister took two small bites and refused to eat any more.

"Eat up! You've all worked hard today."

"Yichu, why are you spending so much money? What kind of relationship do we have? Why do we need to buy so much delicious food? We can just eat something simple."

The rice dish contained not only chicken legs, but also pork belly and fried eggs, with only a little bit of green vegetables.

"Qiu Hong, don't be so frugal. Look how thin you and your sister have become. Have you forgotten how we used to save every penny and almost ruined our health?"

Now that you don't need to send money home, why save that little bit? Buy more good food for yourself and your sister to nourish yourselves.

Actually, Wu Qiuhong is alright; she eats at restaurants and gets to eat some meat every day. Her younger sister cooks at home, but it's always just something simple to eat. I've told her off several times, and although she verbally agrees, she still saves the money.

"You're right, Qiuyue. Don't try to save money for your sister anymore. Buy her whatever she wants to eat."

Wu Qiuyue nodded perfunctorily in agreement, burying her head in her food, wondering when she could eat such food every day.

Wu Qiuhong knew her sister hadn't listened, and sighed helplessly. If she could earn more money, her sister wouldn't have to live so frugally.

"Sister Yichu, I promise to feed your cats and dogs."

After finishing their meal, Wu Qiuyue told Xia Yichu about this.

"Okay, thank you. I'll give you three hundred yuan a month."

"Yichu doesn't need to. Feeding her doesn't take much time. Just give my sister 100 yuan a month."

"That won't do. I want Qiuyue to cook for them, three meals a day, and also go to the market to buy things."

There's plenty of time. Let your sister eat here too. I'll give her 150 yuan for living expenses; let her buy what she needs, just make sure my cats and dogs don't get too thin.

"It won't cost that much. She only makes 170 or 180 a month making cardboard boxes. Why don't you give her 200 a month?"

"Yes, two hundred will do." Wu Qiuyue said immediately when she saw her sister looking at her.

"It's three hundred. If you're not willing, I'll find someone else."

"No, big sister..."

Seeing Xia Yichu's resolute attitude and her sister's anxious state that was about to bring her to tears, Wu Qiuhong felt it was best not to refuse any longer.

"Alright, then Qiuyue, you'd better do a good job."

"Okay, I will," Wu Qiuyue said happily.

The three of them worked until after 4 p.m., and then made two more batches of loquat paste in the afternoon. Xia Yichu didn't have enough jars to hold it all, so they'll have to buy more tomorrow.

Xia Yichu went out to eat by herself, while Wu Qiuhong, after finishing her work, took her sister home and didn't want to stay for dinner.

"Yi Chu"

She ran into Wang Zhijie at the food stall; he was eating with two friends. One of them, grinning, looked at Xia Yichu and said, "Zhijie, who's this? Introduce him!"

"A friend of mine, you all continue eating. Yichu, come on, let's go see what you want to eat, it's my treat."

The two men watched as Wang Zhijie took Xia Yichu away, clearly not wanting to say anything more to them, and not daring to follow.

"Okay! Have you eaten? I need to talk to you."

Xia Yichu had originally planned to look for Wang Zhijie in the next couple of days, but since she had run into him, she might as well talk to him now.

"Are you full? Do you want to pack some to take home, or eat it here?"

"Take it home to eat"

"Okay, you go pack it up first, I'll come back to find you later."

Wang Zhijie spoke a few words with his two friends, then went to pay the bill, including Xia Yichu's. Afterwards, he went home with Xia Yichu.

After arriving home, Xia Yichu went to eat first, while Wang Zhijie played with the dog.

"Zhijie, let's talk in the living room."

"it is good"

"What's your relationship with your friend at the casino?"

"Generally speaking, he's a pretty pragmatic person; he only associates with those who are doing well. But he has one redeeming quality: he never invites his friends to gamble."

"I want you to find a way to get him to take someone to the casino for me."

"No problem, you need to tell me about that person's situation, and I'll think of a solution for you."

Xia Yichu talked to him for half an hour before Wang Zhijie left.
