Qian Lei started to clean the table. Qian Jinshu, who was picking his teeth, stopped what he was doing and looked at him. "What's the matter? Nana doesn't care?"

Qian Lei sneered, "He's rich, how could he be interested in this?"

Qian Jinshu threw the toothpick into the trash can and said angrily, "Nana has been spoiled by your aunt. She doesn't even have the most basic manners and family education. She will never achieve anything great in the future.

Leilei, don't take it to heart, sooner or later she will beg you for help."

Qian Lei washed the dishes silently, and after thinking for a while, he told Qian Jinshu what he had just heard.

Qian Jinshu looked at his son in surprise, "What? Your aunt has your uncle's compensation money?"

Qian Lei nodded, and Qian Jinshu slapped his thigh, "Didn't they say that your uncle died of illness?

I was ill for several years and spent all the family money.”

Qian Lei slammed his fist on the table and said, "Aunt cheated us. She obviously has money, but she is reluctant to help you, her own brother.

Just let you pick up trash and don’t care about you!

Humph, I just paid you two months' rent, and yet you're being rude to me all day long.

They let you eat cabbage and tofu every day, not only are they reluctant to buy you any meat, but they also scold us behind our backs for being a burden to them.

Does she treat you as her own brother?"

Qian Jinshu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! She is my biological sister!

Your great-grandfather is not as good to us as he is. At least he gives us some living expenses every month.

But your aunt is so good, she keeps complaining about not having money in front of me, but secretly she eats and drinks the best food behind my back, bah! "

The father and son cursed Qian Lili angrily.

In their opinion, at this point, as a member of the Qian family, Qian Lili should take out the money and stand by them father and son.

Qian Jinshu cursed for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "Leilei, I told you that your aunt is not a good person, but you didn't believe it.

Now you know it’s true!

Humph, she was so meddling that she drove Hong Ling away, and now I have no one to take care of me."

Qian Lei didn't say anything. He stared at the little squirrel pendant in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Qian Jinshu angrily picked up a half-smoked cigarette from the coffee table and lit it. He took a deep puff and the smoke spread instantly.

The whole room fell into deathly silence. Only Qian Jinshu's heavy breathing and occasional coughs broke the suffocating silence.

After finishing his cigarette, Qian Jinshu scratched his head and said, "Leilei, your aunt has always been tight-fisted since she was young. It's unlikely to get some money from her.

From now on, let’s pretend that we don’t know that she is rich, and we’ll talk about it after you graduate.”

Qian Lei hummed.

Early the next morning, Qian Wanwan and her family of three drove to pick up Qian Jinshu and his son and take them back to Beishan County.

Qian Lili also came downstairs to help, "Wanwan, are you guys on vacation?"

Qian Wanwan smiled and said, “Not yet.

We will send the children back to our hometown first, and then go back after the holiday in two days."

The two exchanged some greetings before Qian Wanwan got into the car.

Watching Qian Wanwan's car drive away, Qian Lili breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked briskly towards the company, which had a week left before the holiday.

Now that my elder brother and the others have left, I have to take some time to prepare New Year’s goods.

Qian Lili is responsible for cleaning in the company. She sends Nana to school early every day and goes to work.

Maintaining the hygiene of two floors is no problem for her as a person who works regularly.

Qian Lili cleaned the office and toilet neatly, and the company's employees came to work one after another.

She hung up the rag and went to the kitchen to help Sister Chen wash the vegetables as usual.

Sister Chen is responsible for cooking for more than 20 people in the company, and she is now busy picking vegetables.

As soon as Qian Lili sat down, Sister Chen told her, "Lili, I won't come to work after the Chinese New Year."

"Why? Have you found a better job?" Qian Lili asked her while picking vegetables.

Sister Chen nodded, "The woman who rented a house with me said that the salary in the south is higher. If you cook for others, you can get several months' salary there in one month, and it includes food and accommodation.

After the Chinese New Year, she will go to the south to work with her fellow villagers.

I agreed to go with them and come back here to buy a house after I make some money."

When Qian Lili heard about buying a house, she couldn't help but feel envious, "With such a high salary, you can save a lot of money in a year!"

Sister Chen smiled and said, "That's right! Lili, are you going?"

Qian Lili shook her head and said, "Nana has to go to school, where can I go?

Oh, I envy you. You are only one year older than me, and your daughter is already working."

Sister Chen laughed and said, "My family was poor, so I got married early and had children early.

Lili, don’t you still have your older brother?

Ask him to help you look after Nana. He used to be a teacher and can help Nana with her homework."

Qian Lili was a little tempted. She thought, "If the salary is really that high, then I only need to go out for a year and come back to save enough money to buy a house."

When Qian Lili got home from get off work, she mentioned this matter. Unexpectedly, Nana actually agreed with it.

She felt that Qian Lili should go out with Sister Chen and the others.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm already thirteen years old, I'm not a child anymore! I can take care of myself."

Anyway, there's nothing you can do at home except making breakfast for me and picking me up and dropping me off.

I can cook noodles by myself, and school is close to home, so I can go there by myself.

You might as well go out with them to work and earn money so that we can buy a house early?"

Qian Lili felt that something was wrong, "But you are alone at home, and mom is worried.

Nana, your uncle has never been in the kitchen in his life and can’t even cook.

He still expects me to wash his clothes and pants, how can he wash your clothes and pants?"

Nana smiled slyly, "Mom, don't you complain every day about having to support my uncle and the others?

Now that you go out to work, you don't have to worry about my uncle and others.

Maybe my uncle won’t come to North City by then.”

Qian Lili's eyes lit up after hearing this, "It seems to be true?

By then, I can stop caring about my elder brother. What a good excuse!"

When Nana saw Qian Lili didn't say anything, she thought she disagreed, and quickly assured her that she could do it alone.

Qian Lili was a little worried, "Nana, what if your uncle wants to live in our house to take care of you?"

"Mom, then just tell him that I can take care of myself, so just let him take care of himself."

Qian Lili then burst out laughing: "Alright, alright! Let's see after the New Year."
