Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

After Xia Mingwei left gracefully, she left behind a group of people staring at each other in bewilderment.

Xia Mingzhu's eyes were filled with resentment; she practically had the words "I'm not convinced" plastered on her face.

But even Xia's mother can't handle this troublemaker, let alone herself?

With the swelling on her face still fresh, Xia Mingzhu spoke softly, "Mother, are we just going to let this go like this?"

Because her private affairs had been exposed, Xia's mother, who had just been beaten and scolded, lost her usual good temper.

"What else can we do but forget about it? Didn't you hear what your grandma said? She told us to behave ourselves for a while!"

As she spoke, Xia's mother glared at Xia Mingzhu with annoyance.

"Besides, your brother's tuition fees are still unresolved. If you push her too hard, who will pay for it? Will you?"

"That's a huge sum of money. Even if you broke every bone in your body and sold it, it wouldn't be worth that much. Are you planning to do what she did and go to a dance hall to earn money?"

"I…"

Xia Mingzhu was speechless after her mother's questioning.

Seeing the unwilling expression on Xia Mingzhu's face, Xia's mother sighed helplessly in her heart.

How could she have given birth to such a stubborn child? Doesn't she know there's plenty of time in the future?

"Don't worry, we'll figure out a way to deal with her once we get the money! This family isn't for a little girl like her to run the show!"

"Really?"

"When has your mother ever lied to you? We'll..."

As Xia Mingzhu listened to her mother's plan, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

When the time comes, she will definitely vent her anger and make that bitch Xia Mingwei pay the price for what she did today!

"So for now, let's be patient with her and wait until things get better!"

After all, she was the daughter she had doted on for many years, so Xia's mother patted Xia Mingzhu's head reassuringly.

"Mother, I know."

The first thing Xia Mingzhu learned to survive better in this family was to learn to read people's expressions and demeanor.

Seeing that Xia's mother said this, she could no longer make a fuss and could only obediently nod.

After discussing the important matter, the two looked at the mess in the living room and sighed again.

"Mother, then this..."

"Have Aunt Wu come and clean it up, you don't need to worry about it!"

After saying that, Xia's mother opened her throat and shouted.

"Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu!"

Hearing the noise, Aunt Wu quickly came out.

"Madam, what can I do for you?"

"Can't you see these things? Hurry up and tidy them up! I haven't seen you around for a while, have you been slacking off somewhere else again?"

"No, madam. I've been busy in the kitchen and didn't notice what was going on here."

Xia's mother snorted coldly, "Remember to work efficiently. If I catch you slacking off next time, I'll deduct your wages!"

Feeling that she had lost face today, Xia's mother spoke with a hint of harshness.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Based on the principle of "it's better to avoid trouble," Wu Ma verbally agreed.

But in his heart, he spat in disgust and silently despised Xia's mother.

Is a widow who can't stand being alone even worthy of pointing fingers at her?

She had actually heard the commotion in the living room. But what did these unpleasant things have to do with her, a helper?

Before I started working here, we agreed that she would only help with cooking and do some odd jobs.

At first, they followed the agreement quite well, and she thought she had met a good family! But she didn't expect that after only three months, their true colors would be revealed.

The workload is increasing, but my salary hasn't increased at all.

They ask her to help with everything, are they really treating her like a servant in this house?

Now this family is entirely supported by Miss Xia dancing at the dance hall. With those few unreliable people, getting them to make money is probably harder than climbing to heaven!

A family like that might run out of money one day!

It seems she needs to hurry and find another job as soon as possible!

However, these were all Wu Ma's true feelings, which Xia's mother and Xia Mingzhu were unaware of at the time!

After this incident, Xia Mingwei was temporarily labeled as "not to be trifled with," and no one in her family dared to say anything to her face.

Therefore, Xia Mingwei enjoyed a period of great comfort.

But good times are always fleeting, and the night before a storm is always exceptionally calm.

On the surface, they seem like a harmonious family, but in reality, they all have their own ulterior motives.

That day, Xia Mingwei went out as usual, but her mother called her from behind.

She frowned. "Mother, is something wrong?"

Seeing that Xia Mingwei was willing to talk, Xia's mother said, "Mingwei, it's about your brother studying abroad, which I told you about before!"

"Mom, I've thought about it carefully and realized I've misunderstood! Studying abroad is a good thing. If my brother wants to go, then let him go!"

These words pleased Xia's mother to some extent, causing her tightly closed brows to relax considerably.

"I don't know if three thousand silver dollars will be enough for your brother. As the saying goes, 'A poor man should travel with plenty of money.' It's always better for a young man to carry more money with him when he's out and about! That way, he won't be in such dire straits if something happens. Don't you think so?"

Seeing that her mother was about to have a long talk with her, Xia Ming interrupted her impatiently, "Mother, you can arrange things for your brother. You don't need to tell me!"

"When are you going to bring the ocean back?"

Seeing that Xia Mingwei kept picking up on her words, Xia's mother decided to reveal her true intentions.

The 10th of each month is the day the dance hall pays its salaries, and it's also the day Xia Mingwei hands over her monthly wages.

These past few days, Xia Mingwei has remained silent, which has made her mother somewhat anxious.

She could tolerate Xia Mingwei's unreasonable demands, but only if she handed over her salary!

Xia Mingwei was well aware of her mother's intentions. After all, this leech had been sucking the blood of the original owner of her body, draining her of all her value; how could it possibly let her go now?

These days, she goes out early and returns late every day, just to see what tricks these people have up their sleeves.

Sure enough, less than three days after the day when wages were due to be handed over, Xia's mother couldn't contain her impatience.

Xia Ming smiled, her face as gentle as a spring breeze, carrying a hint of joy.

"Mom, I quit my job at the dance hall!"

These words were like a bombshell, completely shocking Xia's mother.

"You...you quit your job at the dance hall?"

"You brat, you quit your job at the dance hall without even saying goodbye. Do you want to take your whole family to die?"

Xia's mother roared hysterically.

"Go and beg the dance hall manager for forgiveness right now. Tell him that you resigned in anger and that he should forgive you and let you go back to work at the dance hall!"

As she spoke, Xia's mother reached out to grab Xia Mingwei's hand.

Xia Mingwei sidestepped to avoid her.

"I'm not going. I've already quit my job. I'll never go dancing at a dance hall again!"
