Her grandmother, who was more miserly than Grandet, unexpectedly stuffed a piece of fruit candy into her hand. Hell must have frozen over! "Xiaoxiao, I heard you’ve become an instructor at the meat processing plant? Is it true?" Wang Chunhua smiled at her. Since Su Xiaoxiao could remember, her grandmother had never looked at her with such a loving gaze. Suddenly, she felt goosebumps all over: "Grandma, just say what you want. You’re scaring me." "You little brat, what are you talking about? Grandma’s just concerned about you." Su Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of her mouth; a grandma who called her a little brat and a burden since childhood caring about her? That was unheard of. Seeing her not speaking honestly, Su Xiaoxiao directly bypassed her, pushing her bike straight into the house. "Hey, you brat. Grandma hasn’t finished talking yet." Wang Chunhua hurriedly chased after her and only then noticed the bicycle Su Xiaoxiao was pushing, with a bag of bright red apples hanging from the handlebars. Her eyes gleamed. Looks brat really got lucky. She immediately followed attentively: "Xiaoxiao, I heard the meat processing plant even pays you salary, right?" Ah, finally the ulterior motive is revealed. Turns out she was after the money. Upon hearing Wang Chunhua say this, Su Xiaoxiao relaxed instead. It was still the familiar Wang Chunhua. "Got paid a bit, Grandma, do you need something?" Su Xiaoxiao parked the bike to the side, turned her head to look at Wang Chunhua. Wang Chunhua rubbed her hands somewhat awkwardly: "You know, your cousin just got married, your second uncle’s family has been going through a tough time..." Chapters fırst released on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵 Before she could finish, Su Xiaoxiao spoke directly: "Grandma, if you want to borrow money, just say so. No need to beat around the bush; we’re family, after all, connected at the bone." Wang Chunhua didn’t expect her to be this straightforward; her eyes immediately sparkled: "Xiaoxiao, you’re willing to lend money?" "Of course, no problem. We’re family, and if my second uncle’s family is in trouble, I definitely have to help." Su Xiaoxiao paused, then continued: "How much does my second uncle plan to borrow? How much interest per day?" "Interest? What interest?" Wang Chunhua stared at her, completely confused. "As they say, even close kin need clear accounts; of course, borrowing money from my second uncle should be clear too, right?" This brat seems to be dreaming; she never intended to repay the money in the first place. But obviously, she couldn’t say such words right now. Wang Chunhua feigned a bit of struggle, gritting her teeth: "Fine, you lend three hundred yuan to your second uncle’s family, the interest will be as you say." Originally, she planned to borrow two hundred, but upon hearing that this brat earned quite a bit at the meat processing plant, she thought of squeezing out as much as possible. "Grandma, then you’d better write an IOU, clearly stating the daily interest of thirty cents." "What? Thirty cents? Why don’t you rob a bank!" Wang Chunhua immediately blew up. "If you don’t want to borrow, then forget it." As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she carried the apples and was about to head inside. Wang Chunhua hurriedly stopped her, gritting her teeth: "Fine, thirty cents it is." Anyway, she didn’t plan to repay, so the interest made no difference. "Grandma, you’re not planning to deny it later, right? We’ve agreed, if my second uncle’s family doesn’t repay, I’ll go trouble cousin at his workplace every day." Upon hearing this, Wang Chunhua’s face immediately changed. If this little brat really went to cause trouble, her grandson’s job would definitely be in jeopardy. "Grandma, about the money..." Wang Chunhua said angrily, then turned and left. This brat, truly had a wolf-hearted nature; if she’d known this, she should’ve strangled her when she was little. Su Xiaoxiao scoffed; thinking she could get something for nothing, where did the old woman get such nerve? She carried the apples happily into the house. Fruits were rare these days. Since she came over here, she hadn’t eaten much fruit and was really craving some. Counting them, there were six apples in the net bag, just enough for one each. She took out two and ladled some water from the water tank to wash them. Just as she finished washing them, Xu Zhaodi came out from the inner room. Xu Zhaodi heard the voice, instinctively raised her hand, and suddenly held a shiny apple. Looking at the apple in her hand, she swallowed her saliva, then hurriedly handed it back to Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, I don’t like apples. You keep it." The Su Family had already been kind enough to take her in; how could she feel comfortable eating such precious fruit? Noticing her uneasiness, Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the apple back into her hand: "I’m telling you to eat, so you eat it." Xu Zhaodi’s eyes instantly turned red; no one had ever treated her so well before. How had she been so lucky to meet Brother Fusheng’s family? Once she gave birth, she would go earn money and properly repay their family. At this moment, the yard gate was pushed open, and two little brothers with crooked backpacks rushed in. Seeing the apples in both hands, their eyes immediately lit up. Pleasingly, each hugged one of Su Xiaoxiao’s arms and whined: "Third sister, we want apples too." Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand and patted both their heads: "There are apples on the table, one each, go take them yourselves." The two of them eagerly carried their backpacks and walked towards the house. Just as they reached the door, they saw the bicycle placed against the wall and their eyes widened: "Third sister, whose bicycle is this?" Su Xiaoxiao pointed to herself: "It’s mine." Instantly, the little brothers forgot about the apples and stared at Su Xiaoxiao with sparkling eyes: "Third sister, can we ride it?" Su Xiaoxiao rejected them without hesitation. The little brothers lowered their heads, disappointed. Then they heard Su Xiaoxiao’s teasing tone, "Eat first; you can ride after dinner." So annoying, third sister was teasing them. The little brothers hurriedly dashed into the house, dropped their backpacks, and each came out holding a big apple. Just when they were about to take a bite, Su Xiaoxiao mercilessly slapped their hands. "Dirty! Go wash your hands and the apples before eating." Their pouting lips could almost hold a soy sauce bottle, but under Su Xiaoxiao’s intimidation, they reluctantly went to wash both apples and hands. Watching them wash the apples with the water they had used for their hands, Su Xiaoxiao’s temple throbbed but thought, whatever, she wasn’t eating them anyway. Thinking about the newly unlocked appliance interface in the mall earlier, Su Xiaoxiao decided to check it out thoroughly, to see if she could buy anything useful from it. Currently, her wallet had thousands of gold coins; most things in the mall should be affordable. Having made up her mind, she instructed Xu Zhaodi to watch the two little brothers carefully before diving into her room. Sitting on the kang bed excitedly, she opened the appliance interface. Scrolling through, her sight landed on a flashlight. There was no electricity in the countryside at night; going out meant carrying oil lamps, which was inconvenient. Having a flashlight would be much more convenient. She shuffled around and found the most primitive kind with batteries, decisively ordering three. With a ding, three flashlights neatly appeared in her backpack. Just as she was about to take them out, she heard someone angrily shouting from outside: "Su Xiaoxiao, get your butt out here!"
