Chapter 110: Ordering Fresh Milk
Without He Fang’s help, all the work she used to do fell on Si Xiaohui. Fortunately, although Si Xiaohui often acted sarcastically, she was not lazy. She woke up early every day, got things ready, and then waited for Tong Yao at the school gate. Her only requirement was that Tong Yao bring her breakfast every day.
Si Chen had been sleeping in the rented room’s hall for three consecutive days. Seeing that Si Xiaohui was genuinely not afraid, he stopped accompanying her. Si Xiaohui didn’t feel scared about it; instead, she was ecstatic. When her big brother slept in the hall, she wasn’t comfortable even going to the bathroom at night, always afraid of disturbing his sleep and making him late for work.
People say being a doctor is a unique profession. The slightest mishap in surgery is a fatal mistake, something severe enough to end a career. The Si family finally has someone with potential, and they can’t let it be ruined by her. The entire Si family relies on their big brother for prosperity.
Neither she nor her second brother were educated. They had accepted their fate of leading ordinary lives, and as long as they had enough to eat, they had no ambitions to undertake any significant venture. The family still relied on their big brother, and she couldn’t afford to be a stumbling block.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Tong Yao and Si Xiaohui kept themselves busy like spinning tops every day, but they led fulfilling lives. The milk tea business was as good as ever, bringing in about seventy yuan a day.
One morning, as they set up their stall as usual, they didn’t expect He Fang to come around. Knowing that He Fang was starting her own stall, Si Xiaohui turned up her nose when she saw her again, and darted a look at He Fang standing under another tree, "What’s she doing here? Does she regret that and want to work here again? Sister-in-law, you can’t agree. People like her have ulterior motives and may stab you in the back."
"You’re overthinking." Tong Yao was adding black tea into the pot and didn’t even lift her eyelids. "She decided to do her own thing, how could she possibly be willing to work here?".
Once someone develops crooked ideas, they simply refuse to follow the right path. Isn’t everyone the same, dreaming of being their own boss?
