Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

The female cousin had a sweet mouth, saying things especially comforting: "If it weren't for you coming along, Grandma wouldn't have agreed to let us go to the night market, and just now it was your quick reaction that shook off that drunkard."

"Uncle, take it."

Lin Xiyu also helped persuade: "In the future we'll still need you to help us haul goods."

"That's right."

The female cousin wouldn't take no for an answer, stuffing the money into Uncle's pocket.

"Fine then, Uncle won't stand on ceremony."

Uncle gave a simple, honest laugh twice, accepting his niece's kindness.

"Really great, we earned ten yuan on the first day."

Lin Xiyu looked happy, and contentedly smoothed out the creases on the banknotes one by one, sorted them by denomination, folded them, and tucked them into her own pocket.

"In the future we'll earn even more money."

The female cousin happily painted her a big pie: "What's one day? Once more people buy, earning a hundred a day, or even over a thousand, is possible......."

"Mm-hmm, I believe you."

Lin Xiyu, worthy of being a younger sister, gave very strong support.

"Hahaha."

The female cousin laughed happily, laughing very cheerfully.

The uncle and nieces had a narrow escape, returning home safely before ten-thirty.

Grandma sat under the streetlamp outside the door enjoying the cool, personally watching the electric tricycle turn from the alley entrance; the heart she had hung up all night finally truly calmed down at this moment.

"Grandma, we're back."

"Guess how much money we earned?"

"Ten yuan per person."

"I knew it, your niece is the most capable, born to do business......."

The two sisters saw Grandma and scrambled to jump off the tricycle, each taking one of her arms, frolicking around Old Man.

"Good, good, good, as long as you're back."

Grandma didn't care about earning money; what she cared about was the family's safety.

The female cousin didn't hear Grandma's praise, clinging to her and continuing to chatter nonstop.

Lin Xiyu was also very excited, talking about things she found interesting.

Grandma looked at the pair of clingy sister flowers, laughing so hard she couldn't close her mouth.

——

The big bed in the main room was sold, Lin Xiyu voluntarily gave up her small cubicle, letting Grandma sleep in the small bed in the inner room, while she and her female cousin spread a bamboo mat and slept on the floor.

The two sisters had been used to squeezing onto one bed since childhood, but sleeping on the floor was their first time.

The female cousin thought the bamboo mat was too hard, uncomfortably hard, tossing and turning unable to sleep.

Lin Xiyu also had worries, her brain like a movie, replaying scenes of getting along with Gu Bin over the three years of high school, the images finally freezing on Zhang Xiaoqian's sharp and vicious face.

Neither of the two sisters slept well; the consequence of poor sleep was, unsurprisingly, when they got up in the morning, each had a pair of panda eyes.

The comical sight made people unable to help but laugh.

"Serves you for making your own bed......."

Grandma used a palm-leaf fan to tap the female cousin's bird's-nest head, smiling as she scolded: "There's a good bed at home and you won't sleep in it, insisting on sleeping on the floor."

"Ahhh......"

The female cousin had morning grumpiness, howled irritably, then fell straight backward.

Lin Xiyu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, supporting her, avoiding the tragedy of cracking the back of her head.

——

Maternal Aunt had made breakfast, the female cousin wolfed down a few bites, then was driven by Grandma to go to work at the Soy Sauce Factory.

Lin Xiyu finished washing the bowls and chopsticks, took some empty cigarette packs left over from selling from the Telephone Booth, glued them onto a discarded cardboard box with glue, and made a cigarette advertisement sign.

"Is anyone home?"

Zhang Director of the Neighborhood Committee, with a bandage tied on his forehead, walked in from outside the Door.

"Yes."

Lin Xiyu glanced and was so shocked her face changed color: "Ouch, Director Zhang, what happened to you?"
