Chapter 155. Farewell, a new journey
Although he was taken aback by Second Aunt’s sudden fierceness, Lianshan honestly felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
If Second Aunt was all talk and no action, the kind of person who could be easily pushed around, then no matter the difficulty, Lianshan would certainly abandon the plan to bring her along and look for someone else. After all, they needed someone efficient to help with childcare so they could focus entirely on their studies. Trouble and leeches, naturally, should be kept at a respectful distance.
Fortunately, Second Aunt did not disappoint him.
Seeing Lianshan indeed take the bundle from her hand and hang it onto the front handlebar, and once she was securely seated on the bike with a large bag of bedding, the young man mounted the bike and pedaled away. Second Aunt finally released a bit of her apprehension.
Unable to resist showing her fierce side, making Lianshan witness the troublesome daughter-in-laws of hers, she was quite nervous too.
Afraid that an opportunity her nephew-in-law found with great difficulty would be ruined.
Ten yuan a month, a hundred and twenty yuan a year.
Working for two years, she could save up two hundred and forty yuan, enough to arrange a decent funeral for herself.
A rare encounter with such a mind-boggling opportunity should absolutely not be missed.
With such thoughts, this originally diligent Second Aunt became even more diligent for real. Rising early in the morning to help with cooking, feeding chickens, earthworms, and watering the fungus—all were tasks she rushed to do. Taking care of the children, tidying up the house, wherever she could lend a hand, she did so willingly without explanation. She was great at spotting tasks, and got along well with Little Lian’en.
