Three Women in the Cage

Yaya looked at her sister blankly, and finally she stayed with red eyes, choking with sobs, "You are always like this! Do you have to put yourself in a difficult position? I'm starving, but you still want to make me wait..."

Listening to Yaya's sobbing, Huanhuan was in a dilemma. She couldn't just walk away, but she felt bad for her second sister's hunger, but she couldn't think of a way to have both. She stood at the bar, hesitant!

At this moment, the voices of Ma Mei and Li Li were heard outside. "Sister Ma! His beef noodles are really delicious. Should we go there next time?"

Ma Mei smiled and said, "Of course, this place is famous. It's packed with people at this time. If you hadn't reserved a seat in advance, you wouldn't have been able to eat! Since I got heavier, I haven't eaten here for a long time. Luckily, they were busy at the internet cafe today, so I was able to sneak in and have a bowl of soup!"

At this point, Ma Mei remembered something and exclaimed, "Oh no! They haven't eaten yet! How could I forget them? Look at my memory! I always forget things when I'm pregnant! You didn't remind me at all! How could I forget them?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the silver watch on his wrist. When he saw the time, he was shocked again. "It's already this late. I was so happy to eat that I didn't even bother to check the time. Let's go! They must be hungry! Don't tell me they've abandoned the store and gone out to find food!"

When Li Li heard this, she realized that the situation was serious, so she hurriedly said, "Sister Ma, I'll go take a look first. You're not feeling well, so please take care of yourself. Don't be anxious, take your time..."

After saying that, he ran towards the store like a gust of wind, leaving Ma Mei behind, who followed slowly while holding her belly!

The two sisters heard a commotion at the door and realized that it was Li Li who had returned. Huanhuan walked over and said gently, "You're finally back! We were waiting so long! I was starving. Now you can finally go out and find something to eat."

Yaya looked at Li Li with resentment, knowing that she was a bully. Although she didn't dare to do anything to her, she was unwilling to let her have an easy time. Even though her eyes couldn't hurt her at all, she still wanted to express her protest with her eyes!

Li Li knew that they were dissatisfied, but she didn't want to lose face in front of them. Without even looking at Yaya's eyes, she casually said "hmm" as a response!

When Huanhuan heard the response, she turned around to see the dissatisfaction in her second sister's eyes, walked forward, pulled her, and walked towards the door!

As soon as they walked out of the door, Yaya shook off Huanhuan's hand and said coldly, "Let go!"

Huanhuan knew she was feeling wronged, so she let go of her hand and patiently advised, "Don't be angry! Aren't you hungry? Let's go and see if there's anything delicious!"

Yaya ignored her sister's advice and rushed forward. She had just overheard their conversation. Her aunt hadn't even considered whether they were hungry or not, and she didn't even bother taking them with her! As expected, the richer the relatives, the colder they were. How could there be any sincerity? So, she was angry that her sister was still waiting for them to come back like an idiot.

Looking at the angry Yaya in front of her, Huanhuan called out lovingly and helplessly, "Second sister! Don't walk so fast, wait for me..."

Suddenly a voice called out to her, "Zhang Huan! Wait a minute..."

Huanhuan turned her head and saw Ma Mei standing a few meters away, calling her and waving her hands to invite her over!

Yaya also heard it. She turned around and stood where she was, not planning to go over!

Huanhuan didn't want to disobey her aunt, so she ran over in confusion. After stopping, she panted and asked, "Aunt? What's wrong?"

Ma Mei asked knowingly, "Are you going to find something to eat? It's my fault for forgetting the time."

She looked at where Yaya was standing, looking dissatisfied, and asked knowingly, "Is your second sister angry? She has a bad temper, but she's efficient. Can you help me persuade her?"

After saying that, she pulled out some change from her small purse and stuffed it into Huanhuan's hand, smiling gently. "Here, this is your pocket money for food. You and my second sister, go have a good meal! Don't blame your aunt for being strict with you. This is our workplace after all. You can be as irritable as you want in private, but at work, you still have to obey the instructions, okay? And you can also tell my second sister to control her temper!"

Huanhuan didn't want to take the money, thinking that she would be too embarrassed to say a word of resistance when she was scolded again!

She politely refused, "Aunt, don't worry, my second sister may have a bad temper, but she's not a bad person at heart. I'll try to persuade her!"

He looked at the pocket money in his hand and continued, "You have already paid us wages, so it is not appropriate to take your pocket money. Besides, we still have some spare money..."

After saying that, he handed the money in his hand back!

Ma Mei looked at the change handed over, stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and asked in confusion, "Where did you get the money? Did your uncle give it to you? When did he give it to you? How come I don't know about it?"

When Huanhuan heard this, she knew she had been exposed. She was afraid that they would become estranged when she returned home, so she quickly explained, "No, aunt! Mom gave it to us before she left!"

Ma Mei looked at her panicked eyes and said doubtfully, "Hmm! Is that so? Well, since you have pocket money, I won't have to worry about it! It will be deducted from your wages anyway, so there's no need to bother now! Then go quickly, and come back soon. The store is still waiting for your patronage!"

Huanhuan responded to Ma Mei and turned to run towards Yaya! As she approached, Yaya frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "What is she doing? I'm almost starving, and you're still wasting time with her!"

Huanhuan coaxed with a smile, "She told me to tell you not to act so tantrum, since we're at work after all! And then she even wanted to give us some pocket money, but I confiscated it!"

Yaya said in disbelief, "She would be so kind as to give us pocket money. She wouldn't want to deduct it from our wages, would she?"

Huanhuan said with a smile, "You heard it, didn't you? You guessed it! Fortunately, I didn't answer it. Otherwise, I would have lost everything and would have been too embarrassed to go back!"

As they were talking, they arrived at a street full of food vendors. Looking at the dazzling array of food, Yaya swallowed her saliva and pointed at a bowl of vermicelli and said, "Sister, look at that vermicelli, it's so delicious, it feels numb and spicy, my mouth is watering! How about we each have a bowl!"

Seeing her second sister's eager eyes, Huanhuan couldn't help but ask the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this?"

The stall owner looked at the two young children and casually replied, "Five yuan a bowl!"

Five yuan! Huanhuan didn't want it to be so expensive. Back home, five yuan could cover their food for the whole day! I wonder if Mom and Sanmei eat well at home!

You have to know that they can’t even drink porridge at home and can only cook vegetable leaves in clear soup. I wonder how heartbroken they must be!

Seeing my sister's stunned look, I knew she must be worried about money! Yaya didn't know that the cost of living in a big city is incomparable to that in the countryside! I also don't know how much the beef noodles my aunt mentioned cost!

After swallowing her saliva, Yaya managed to hold back her saliva. She said to Huanhuan, "I don't really want to eat this anymore. Let's go look at something else."
