1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 71 That really hit home, bro.
"makes sense."

Wang Fan slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "How come I didn't think of that?"

"With a brain like yours, what can you think of besides picking up girls?"

Gu Bin laughed in exasperation: "You have to use your brain when you're in a relationship. You can't just throw money at someone without considering their feelings. No wonder you have low emotional intelligence. You don't even understand this basic principle. No wonder you're always surrounded by gold diggers, and not a single one is sincere."

"That hurts, bro."

Wang Fan blushed, feeling a deep, almost painful, blow to his otherwise fragile heart.

"hehe."

Gu Bin found it amusing, stopped arguing with him, and strode out of the internet cafe.

No. 9 Donghua Street.

"My mom has a terrible temper. She's never spoken to me kindly. My brother and I have been beaten a lot since we were little. If we didn't look so alike, I would have doubted whether we were even her biological children."

“This time I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to prove myself and make money to show her. I’ll make her look down on me all the time and think that I’m only fit to do odd jobs in a soy sauce factory and that I’ll never amount to anything.”

My cousin and aunt had a fight, and sure enough, they arrived at my maternal grandmother's house not long after. Lin Xiyu watched the phone booth for her aunt and patiently listened to her complaints.

Why aren't you saying anything?

"Tell me, am I right or wrong?"

My cousin ranted and raved until her throat was dry. She gulped down a large mouthful of water before finally catching her breath.

"Correct."

Lin Xiyu was understanding and nodded in agreement.

"Wang Juan told me I could buy clothes on credit, and if I couldn't sell them, I could just return them."

My cousin was very pleased with her attitude and became even more enthusiastic: "Don't you think this is a windfall? You can have the opportunity to make money without spending a single penny of your own money."

"Yes"

Lin Xiyu went along with her cousin's wishes and soothed her.

“My mom is such an old-fashioned person, her thinking is so outdated, she can’t keep up with the times.” My cousin was even happier, and she spoke with great enthusiasm: “I’m going to prove to her that I’m no worse than anyone else in this family, and that I’ll be the one who makes a lot of money and can make our family live a good life in the future.”

"Yes, I believe you."

Lin Xiyu chimed in enthusiastically, "Sister Leilei is the best."

"Haha, my dear sister, I knew it! You're the one who understands me best."

My cousin was amused and happily rushed over, giving me a big bear hug.

"So hot."

There was no fan in the phone booth, so it was already stuffy and hot. The two sisters were standing too close together, and they broke out in a sweat.

Lin Xiyu pretended to be disgusted and pushed the person away with her fan, fanning herself vigorously a few times.

"I'll call Wang Juan right now."

My cousin was very excited and immediately said, "It's summer vacation, and you're free, so come with me to the night market. We'll split the money."

"Row."

Lin Xiyu was very tempted when she heard that there was money to be made.

Seeing that her cousin had agreed, her cousin felt even more confident when she talked to her classmate.

Before long, she had settled the terms and hung up the phone happily.

“She said it was no problem to buy clothes on credit, but we would have to pay for the vehicle ourselves. The hotel where my uncle works has an electric tricycle, so we can borrow it.”

Lin Xiyu paused in her hand, fanning herself with a palm leaf fan: "Electric tricycle, can you ride it?"

"What's so difficult about that?"

My cousin exuded confidence: "Your sister can ride a bicycle like a pro, so how could she not know how to ride a tricycle?"

"So that means you've never ridden one before?"

Lin Xiyu bluntly stated the facts.
