Lin Xiyu

"That's true..."

Wang Fan slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing: "How did I not think of that?"

"With that show-off brain of yours, besides hitting on girls, what can you think of?"

Guben laughed in anger: "Dating requires using your brain, you can't just throw money at it and ignore other people's feelings. No wonder they say your emotional intelligence is low—you don't even understand this simple logic. No wonder all the girls hanging around you are gold diggers, not a single sincere one..."

"That hit me right in the heart, old iron."

Wang Fan's old face turned red, and his not-so-fragile small heart suffered ten thousand points of damage.

"Heh."

Guben found it amusing, stopped wasting words with him, strode out on his long legs, and walked out of the internet cafe in a few steps.

—

Donghua Street No. 9.

"My mom has a terrible temper, she's never spoken to me in a kind voice. My brother and I got beaten plenty growing up. If we didn't look so alike, I'd really suspect she's not my biological mother..."

"This time I've decided—I must prove myself, make money to show her, let her stop looking down on me all day, thinking I'm only fit to do odd jobs at the soy sauce factory and will amount to nothing in my life."

The female cousin and Aunt Da argued in anger, and sure enough, not long after, she came to Grandma's house. Lin Xiyu watched the telephone booth for her aunt's wife, patiently listening to her complaints.

"Why don't you say anything?"

"You say, am I right or not?"

The female cousin let out a huge torrent of complaints, speaking until her mouth was dry, then gulped down a big mouthful of plain boiled water before comfortably catching her breath.

"Right."

Lin Xiyu was understanding and nodded very cooperatively.

"Wang Juan told me I can buy on credit first, take clothes from her house, and if they don't sell, it's fine—just return the goods..."

The female cousin was very satisfied with her attitude and spoke with even more vigor: "You say, isn't this a pie falling from the sky? You don't have to spend a single cent of your own money, and you get a chance to make money."

"Yes..."

Lin Xiyu went along with her cousin's wishes, stroking her fur.

"My mom is just an old fogey, her thinking is too backward, she can't keep up with this era."

The female cousin was even happier, speaking with saliva flying everywhere: "I want to prove it to her—in this family, I'm no worse than anyone else. In the future, when I make big money, the person who can let the whole family live a good life will definitely be me."

"Mm-hmm, I believe you."

Lin Xiyu echoed very supportively: "Sister Lalei is the best."

"Hahaha, good younger sister, I knew it—you're the one who understands me best."

The female cousin was amused, happily pounced over, opened her arms, and gave a big bear hug.

"So hot."

There was no electric fan in the telephone booth; it was already stuffy and hot. The two sisters stood too close and worked up a sweat.

Lin Xiyu pretended to dislike her, using a fan to push her away and fanning hard a few times.

"I'll call Wang Juan right now..."

The female cousin was very satisfied, saying do it and doing it: "It's just summer vacation, and you're free too. Come with me to the night market, and we'll split the money we make."

"Okay."

Lin Xiyu was very tempted hearing she could make money.

Seeing her agree, the female cousin spoke with even more confidence when calling her classmate.

In a short while, she settled the conditions and hung up the phone happily.

"She said borrowing clothes on credit is no problem, but we have to provide the vehicle ourselves. Uncle's workplace hotel has an electric tricycle—borrowing it for a bit is just right."

Lin Xiyu's hand fanning with the palm-leaf fan paused: "Electric tricycle—can you ride it?"

"What's hard about that?"

The female cousin's domineering aura leaked out: "Your sister can even do tricks on a bicycle—how could I not know how to ride a tricycle?"

"So you mean you've never ridden one before?"

Lin Xiyu pointed out the fact very ungraciously.
