Chapter 70: I will take care of all of you

~8 min read 1,444 words

Listening to the mother and daughter bickering, Shen Yingying revealed a gratified smile.

"Sis, I think A-Ci is right. She and A-Li are both capable of earning money now, so don't be so hard on yourself. In another half a year, when Xingxing finishes the college entrance examination, you can completely relax and enjoy your blessings."

Her sister hadn't stopped for half her life and had almost never lived for herself. As a younger sister, she also saw it and felt heartbroken.

Both nieces were successful, which was worthy of her sister's hard work and dedication over the years, and it was time for her to stop and enjoy life.

With her aunt helping to speak, Shen Ci became energetic again and echoed repeatedly: "Mom, did you hear that? Auntie and I are on the same side."

As a result, after the two of them talked for a long time, Shen Jingjing didn't have any response.

They turned their heads to look and found that her eyes were lightly closed and her breathing was rhythmic; she had actually fallen asleep.

At this moment, looking at her mother's sleeping eyes, Shen Ci's expression became exceptionally gentle. How long had it been since her mother had such a relaxed sleep?

Shen Yingying also sighed lightly and said to Shen Ci: "Your mom has been too tired all these years. A-Ci, you must be filial in the future."

Shen Ci's nose felt a little sour, and she nodded gently.

A spa SAP session lasted for a full two and a half hours. After finishing, the whole body felt much lighter, and the skin looked more translucent than usual.

"Sis, don't say it, it's worthy of being a place for noble ladies. Doing it once has such an obvious effect." Shen Yingying looked in the mirror, touched her smooth skin, and looked at Shen Jingjing with a smile: "Look at you, the yellow tint on your face is gone, and your skin is white and translucent."

Shen Jingjing nodded without denying it, because the effect was indeed visible to the naked eye.

"The most powerful thing about doing projects here is the immediate effect, but if you want to change the skin condition from the root, you have to come often," Shen Ci said, looking at her mother and instructing: "Mom, since this card has been topped up, you two should come often to relax in the future. Don't be reluctant, the money can't be refunded."

Speaking of the card, the three of them were in the private room, but Shen Jingjing still couldn't help but speak: "A-Ci, you said you topped up one hundred yuan just to apply for a membership card, this is too extravagant."

"It's not much, your daughter has money. Besides, if I don't make a big move, how can I shut the mouth of that uncle just now?"

Shen Jingjing shook her head helplessly: "It's not easy for you to earn money, it would be better to save it for an emergency in the future. There's no need to compete with that kind of person."

If it weren't for the chance encounter today, she would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as Lin Yongqiang.

Shen Ci knew her mother was used to being frugal, and topping up one hundred yuan for a card did exceed her usual consumption cognition, but Shen Ci just wanted to change her mother's concept.

And it wasn't a slow change; she just wanted to be simple and rude, letting her mother quickly accept this lifestyle that didn't care about money.

Because after Xingxing's college entrance examination, she planned to pick her mother up to Longcheng. By then, they would live in a villa and drive a luxury car, and her mother should spend money recklessly by her side.

So now, as long as there is a chance, she wants to give her mother a little shock in consumption concepts.

"Mom, don't worry about these things all the time, I'm not someone without a sense of proportion. Isn't money meant to be spent? If I earn more, I spend more. My ability to spend money also proves that I earn more."

"Could it be that I earned two hundred and spent one hundred to top up a beauty card? I'm not stupid!"

Hearing her daughter say this, Shen Jingjing, who didn't intend to pry into how much her daughter earned, couldn't help but be a little curious at this time.

She hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "A-Ci, tell Mom the bottom line, how much money did you actually earn?"

Shen Yingying also looked over curiously.

Shen Ci smiled slightly and said uncertainly: "Ten thousand?"

She didn't dare to say more, but the number "ten thousand" was enough to shock the Shen Jingjing sisters.

The two were stunned, as if they had been acupunctured.

Shen Ci looked at their reactions and thought to herself that it was good she didn't say more, otherwise her mother would probably faint.

"Ten thousand?" Shen Jingjing felt her scalp go numb, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. She didn't know if it was excitement or some other emotion, which shocked her brain into a blank, and she couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Shen Yingying was even more so, her mouth half-open, and she found she couldn't make a sound at all.

Ten thousand yuan, how could she earn so much money.

Shen Ci looked at her mother and aunt with a calm smile and didn't say anything else, just waiting for them to slowly digest and accept this fact.

After a long while, Shen Jingjing finally calmed down, but tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Shen Ci quickly handed over a tissue: "Look at you, still crying. Aren't you happy that I earned money?"

"Mom is crying because she is happy." Shen Jingjing took the tissue and wiped her tears. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, just holding her daughter's hand and laughing foolishly.

Seeing this, Shen Ci said: "Do you know why I don't agree with you continuing to look for work now? You worked hard enough to earn money to take care of us before, that was for life, there was no other way. Now that I earn money, you say you still work hard to serve others for those few cents of salary every month, can I feel comfortable when I see it?"

Shen Jingjing nodded in understanding: "Mom understands, Mom knows."

Shen Yingying also wiped her tears silently, feeling both gratified for her sister and inevitably envious.

Who knew that in the next second, Shen Ci looked at her and suddenly said: "Auntie, since you know my ability now, I'll speak directly. After Xingxing gets into Longcheng, I'll pick my mom up. By then, if you and Uncle want to go to Longcheng, I'll pick you up together. Whether you want to continue opening a char siu shop or want to do some other business, I'm willing to help."

"Oh, you child." Shen Yingying was moved, but said: "Your uncle and I are doing quite well now, and there are many repeat customers in the shop, and the business is much better than a few years ago. We don't seek great wealth, as long as you can be filial to your mom, Auntie didn't love you in vain."

"I can't just be filial to my mom. If it weren't for you and Uncle helping out all these years, I don't know how much more my mom would have suffered. We all see these things." Shen Ci held her aunt's hand and looked at her seriously: "So Auntie, I will take care of the younger siblings, and I will also take care of you and Uncle."

One sentence made the already emotional Shen Yingying burst into tears, but she laughed as she spoke: "Look at what you've done to Auntie, the skincare products I just applied have been washed away by tears."

Shen Jingjing also laughed: "A-Ci is right. Thanks to you and He Bin all these years, A-Ci can have today, and you have contributed a lot."

Shen Yingying wiped her tears and took a deep breath, looking at Shen Ci with gratification: "Auntie knows you are a good child. Let's talk about this later. Auntie's mind is full of 'ten thousand yuan' now, and I can't think about anything else."

One sentence made Shen Ci laugh. Shen Ci nodded with a smile: "Alright, it's not an urgent matter anyway. Let's go, I booked French food today, I'll take you to taste something fresh." ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
