The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"Sis, how come you can eat anything and not gain weight? I guess it's because of my mom's constitution. She's only been here a short time and she's already gained weight so easily. If my mom gets any fatter, she probably won't even be able to leave the house. I don't want to end up like her, with this damn body that gains weight just from drinking water." Xu Ya sighed deeply, disgusted with her half-dead body.

"I even envy you for gaining weight. What's the point of being so thin like me? If I lose any more weight, I won't be able to buy any pants at all." Yun Shu currently wears size 26 pants, and if she loses any more weight, some pants won't even have her size.

"Yeah! I am indeed thin, but your breasts are still so big, it's unbelievable, it's simply a perfect figure." After saying that, Xu Ya stared at Yun Shu nakedly. People say that women who don't weigh more than 100 pounds are either short or flat-chested, and her sister has neither. She is so envious.

"What are you looking at? Don't end up like Xu Ruo, with the potential to be a lecherous woman." Yun Shu immediately pulled the blanket over herself. Living with Xu Ya wasn't good at all. Although they were both women, they couldn't dress too revealingly, so Yun Shu's pajamas were still quite conservative. Today she was wearing a newly bought set, which showed off her figure.

"Tch! How can I compare to that boorish person? I'm much more cultured than her, okay?" Xu Ya withdrew her gaze and pouted.

"Go to sleep. You must be very tired after just starting work at the mall today," Yun Shu said, steer the conversation back to work.

"I'm not tired at all. It's so comfortable inside with the air conditioning on. I don't have to be in the sun. Besides, I sell appliances, so there aren't many customers and it's not busy. I think this job suits me quite well." Xu Ya was telling the truth. Now that she's started working, she thinks the job is alright, and the salary and benefits are pretty good.

“Okay, I’m glad you don’t mind. I was worried you would dislike being a sales assistant, so I didn’t dare to introduce this type of job to you before.”

"This is a good job. There's a guaranteed base salary plus commission. I heard from others that you can make three to five thousand a month if things go well. I'm very satisfied!"

"Okay, do your best." Yun Shu smiled, completely relieved. She had been worried that the girl would get tired of the job after a few days and not want to continue working there.

Xu Ya hesitated for a moment, but still brought it up, "Sister, when I get my salary next month, I'll pay half of the rent and utilities. I can't let you support me all the time." Her sister has been supporting them all, which is too much of a burden. Now that she can earn money, she wants to share the burden with her.

"Don't worry about these things, just focus on your work. Your sister can manage this amount of money. I've already been promoted and received a raise, so the pressure isn't as great as before." Yun Shu was relieved to hear that Xu Ya wanted to share the burden of supporting Xiao Yan and the others, even if she could only help her a little.

"How about this, if you don't let me pay, then you don't have to pay Xiaoyan and Xiaoyang's living expenses. I'll pay for them, and you can just take care of their tuition." Xu Ya originally wanted Yun Shu not to pay their tuition either, but after thinking about it, she realized she couldn't afford it, so she had to settle for taking care of their living expenses.

"Well... we'll see. If you get a lot of salary next month, I won't compete with you to support them."

"Okay, it's settled then. You've worked so hard all these years, supporting so many people..." Xu Ya said with heartache.

"Now it's all good, you're working now too, and Xiaoyan is doing well in her studies. It's been worth it to support you all. I'm not going to say anything more, go to sleep." Yun Shu yawned after saying that. Hearing Xu Ya's concern for her, she felt comforted. The hardships she had endured over the past few years had not been in vain.

The two didn't speak after that. Xu Ya was also tired. It was her first day at work. She had lied to Yun Shu about being tired. She needed to learn the product information as soon as possible so that she could introduce it to customers. She had to stand for long periods of time and could only take a short break when she needed to drink water or go to the bathroom. However, she felt that this was already pretty good. It was much easier than those who couldn't find a job or had to work on the go. For example, Jin Yuan had only been there for a few days and was already as tanned as if he had just returned from Africa.

Grandma Jin was discharged from the hospital yesterday, but she lives in the house behind the hospital. The Jin family reportedly also owns a house, but it's not here. Jin Yuan was worried about his grandmother living alone, so he asked her to move in with him. Xu Ya helped out for three days, and Jin Yuan also found a caregiver, a woman in her forties from the neighborhood. She happened to be free at home recently, and since it's close to her house, she could go home to stay at night. Grandma Jin knew her too.

Then Yun Shu told her colleague that her cousin was going to work there, and Xu Ya went for an interview today. After passing the interview, she stayed on to work there.

As night deepened, the two fell silent, with only the faint sound of the air conditioner unit whirring outside.

At the Gu family home, Gu Cheng and Li Meng were watching TV in the living room, which looked rather plain.

"Has Huanhuan and Lele not come back yet?" Gu Cheng glanced at the alarm clock on the wall; it was almost 10 o'clock. He asked unhappily that the two children had not returned.

"Don't worry, they're all kids from our compound. They just called to say the party's almost over and they'll be back soon. Both girls are very sensible, no need to worry about them. But Yunshu, she hasn't been back lately. I wonder how she's doing out there, whether she has a boyfriend or not?" Li Meng said sarcastically. Her two daughters were attending a class reunion that evening; their classmates were all wealthy and influential, so she didn't need to worry about them at all.

"You don't need to worry about Yunshu. When has she ever caused the family any concern?" Gu Cheng said, exhaling a puff of smoke. Of his three daughters, Yunshu was the least worrisome. She was sensible, independent, and did well in her studies. Now she also had a respectable job.

"I know, it's just that being a stepmother is tough! Humph!" Li Meng didn't care about Yun Shu at all, and wished she could just not see her. Although Yun Shu hadn't bothered her recently, she ignored that person.

Gu Cheng didn't say anything when he saw Li Meng's expression, but he thought to himself: If you treated Yun Shu the same way you treated Yun Huan and Yun Le, Yun Shu wouldn't hate you so much as her stepmother and wouldn't want to come back.

After finishing his cigarette, Gu Cheng went upstairs to his study. He still had documents to write and didn't want to stay with Li Meng anymore. This woman had been too annoying lately, and it was uncomfortable to talk to her.

Li Meng was holding a cushion when she heard the study door close. She immediately threw the cushion on the ground in anger. What did this man mean? She hadn't done anything to him, so why did he go to the study again and refuse to spend even a little time with her? Especially since he often slept in the study. Judging from his posture just now, he was going to sleep in the study again tonight. He liked sleeping in separate rooms from her so much. She'd see who had the thicker skin to swallow their pride and make up first.
