Chapter 14: Two Children Are Little Matchmakers
Ji Xiaoyue remembered that these two children were taken away by Fu Liye last time.
On the way back with her, she had asked Fu Liye how he was going to handle the children.
He said he would raise them himself.
How come the children were here now?
After crying, the little girl said pitifully, “My uncle and aunt took us back from Uncle Fu for the sake of my father’s pension.
They said that Uncle Fu is a man, and he’s not married, he can’t raise a girl, who knows what he’s thinking.
Then my brother was afraid that I would be abused by my uncle’s family, so he ran away with me.”
The little girl cried pitifully, “My aunt just took me back and said that I was a money loser, and she sold me to Liu Er Ye in Anhe Village, that Liu Er Ye is older than my grandfather, they came to take me away today.
My brother wouldn’t let them, so he ran away with me.”
Ji Xiaoyue listened to the little girl’s sobbing voice and said to them, “You guys go back with us today, sister has to work today. Tomorrow I’m going to the county to deliver goods, I’ll take you with me to find Uncle Fu, okay?”
Ji Xiaoyue didn’t have a purpose this time.
Before she transmigrated, although she later became the CEO of a listed company, she was also an orphan who lived with her uncle.
She knew how hard it was to live without parental protection.
She didn’t have the ability to raise children now, but she could tell that Fu Liye was a good person and would take good care of the two children.
Fu Liye was a mysterious bigwig in the book, if she sent the children to him, he would probably have a deeper impression of her.
Sun Dafang, who was standing beside her, didn’t know what was going on in Ji Xiaoyue’s mind, but she was a kind girl and she also shed tears when she heard the children’s words, “Come on, sister will take you back. If your Uncle Fu doesn’t want you, you can stay with us.”
The little girl immediately shook her head, “Uncle Fu is very good. It’s just that my uncle and aunt insisted on saying that Uncle Fu, a single man, raising a little girl, had impure thoughts, he couldn’t help it, because my uncle is my father’s own older brother, he could only let them take us away.”
The little boy didn’t speak the whole time, he just stubbornly held his sister’s hand.
Ji Xiaoyue hugged the two children and put them on her cart.
When they got home, Ji Xiaoyue said to Sun Dafang, “Your aunt will come back to help me, I can’t handle all this cold salad and pork head meat by myself.”
Sun Dafang knew that Ji Xiaoyue had taken an order for fifty kilograms, she was so surprised that her mouth couldn’t close.
While Sun Dafang went to the field to call Wang Guihua, Ji Xiaoyue asked the children, “Are you hungry? I’ll make you some noodles.”
The two children licked their lips and nodded repeatedly, they were obviously starving.
Ji Xiaoyue turned around and made noodles for the two children, she covered their noodles with several pieces of pork head meat that she had saved from the morning.
The two children hadn’t eaten their fill after being taken back from Fu Liye by their uncle.
Seeing the meat, the two children immediately started eating voraciously.
After they finished eating, the two children looked at Ji Xiaoyue with longing eyes, their pitiful look melted Ji Xiaoyue’s heart.
“Not enough, is it? I’ll serve you some more.”
The two children nodded repeatedly.
When they reached their third bowl of noodles, they finally slowed down their eating speed.
After they finished eating, the two children burped.
Ji Xiaoyue let them go play by themselves, “Sister has to work. I’ll change your clothes after I put the pork head in the pot.”
Fifty kilograms of pork head meat, one pig head could be taken apart to yield six to eight kilograms of meat.
Ji Xiaoyue prepared eight pig heads.
She had to put the pig heads in the pot first to boil them until they were soft, then she could take the bones out.
The bones had to be taken out while they were hot, because if they cooled down, the meat wouldn’t come off.
The two children sat quietly beside Ji Xiaoyue and watched her work after they had eaten their fill.
When Sun Dafang came back with Wang Guihua, the two children were sitting upright and watching.
“Oh, these two children are so beautiful.” Wang Guihua was overjoyed when she saw the children at the door.
She loved children, but her physique was not good for childbearing, she gave birth to Sun Dafang and never got pregnant again.
Wang Guihua just loved children, she was also a kind person, otherwise how could she have raised Ji Xiaoyue for so many years?
The two children shyly greeted the enthusiastic Wang Guihua.
“Where are your parents?” Wang Guihua blurted out.
The two children lowered their heads sadly and whispered, “Dad died, and Mom ran away after she knew Dad died.”
Wang Guihua heard that her mother had run away with someone, her expression froze, she hugged the two children and comforted them, “It’s okay, Auntie and sister will love you from now on.”
After she comforted the children, she pulled Ji Xiaoyue and asked, “Xiaoyue, did you really sell the pork head meat?”
Ji Xiaoyue nodded, “We’ll be sending fifty kilograms of pork head meat and fifty kilograms of cold salad to Jianguo Restaurant every day.”
Wang Guihua was excited to hear fifty kilograms, she excitedly asked, “How much did they buy it for?”
Ji Xiaoyue smiled, “They gave me 120 yuan for fifty kilograms of pork head meat, and fifty yuan for the cold salad, 170 yuan a day.”
Wang Guihua had never heard of so much money.
She couldn’t even count it, she opened her mouth and didn’t react for a long time, “Xiaoyue, slap me, I think I’m dreaming. I’ve never seen so much money in my life.”
Before the family split, Wang Guihua had never seen a hundred yuan, not even a ten yuan bill, because the money never reached her hands, it was taken by Old Lady Sun.
“Five thousand and one yuan a month, how much money can you make. Is this business reliable? I don’t feel at ease, it’s like a dream.” Wang Guihua murmured excitedly.
Ji Xiaoyue smiled, “Jianguo Restaurant in the county, do you think it’s reliable? It was the uncles from the bullpen who introduced me.”
Wang Guihua felt a little more at ease when she heard that it was her uncles who introduced her.
“Auntie, this amount is a bit big, you and your cousin have to help me. I can’t deliver it by myself, you have to help me.” She said to Wang Guihua, “Also, you’ll manage the money from now on, I’ll ask you for money when I run out.”
Wang Guihua shook her head, “No, no! I’ve never managed money, I don’t know how.”
Ji Xiaoyue said to her seriously, “Auntie, I treat you like my own mother, we can only save money if we keep the money together as a family. Besides, I’m counting on you and my cousin to help me with the work.
If you don’t let me manage the money, you’re not treating me like your daughter, you’re not treating me like family.”
This moral kidnapping came out, how could Wang Guihua not agree.
So she nodded.
Ji Xiaoyue turned around and went to her room, she took the money Wang Xiong gave her today, the money the uncles from the bullpen gave her, and her own remaining money, and gave it all to Wang Guihua, “Auntie, when I’m done, I’ll ask you to calculate it.
This way you can keep the accounts.”
Wang Guihua looked at the money in her hand and couldn’t help but cry.
She had suffered all her life, her family favored sons over daughters, her husband’s family was always picking on her, her husband was cowardly and honest, she had never seen so much money in her life.
At this moment, holding the money in her hand, she suddenly felt that everything was worth it, and she also felt respected.
“Xiaoyue, our lives will get better and better.”
