Chapter 417 Pan Xiaohua stole her sister

For example, she hopes to have things like couplets on the door, red lanterns, and New Year pictures.

Now that she's making money, she's willing to spend a little money to make herself happy.

Lin Yuyao thought that she should also put up couplets at home, so she went with her.

For small items, it's more cost-effective to buy them at street markets.

So the two of them wandered around the street market and bought couplets, New Year pictures, lanterns, and some firecrackers and fireworks.

I also bought some incense, candles, and paper money. There's a temple nearby, so I can go and pray there sometime.

Lin Yuyao also bought a pack of plastic bullets.

Fu Huaiyi had given her a realistic toy gun before, but she hadn't played with it yet. She could go play with it in the nearby countryside in a few days.

Ye Xiaotong wants to buy a new outfit.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone says they should wear new clothes.

But where can she get new clothes?

In those years, the clothes she wore were all pieced together from various sources.

"Let's buy another set of clothes."

She looked at a shop next door.

The store manager was greeting them; it was Pan Xiaohua.

Lin Yuyao was unwilling.

It wasn't that she didn't support Pan Xiaohua's business, but rather that she knew Pan Xiaohua was selling high-quality counterfeits.

It's clearly a fake, yet it's being sold at an exorbitant price.

She was initially curious about where Pan Xiaohua got her supplies, but later she learned that it was Fu Leyi who helped her make the connections.

Fu Leyi ultimately helped her out.

Lin Yuyao said, "I made an appointment with Sister Song to go shopping at the mall in the city center in a few days. Xiaotong, you've earned some money now, so treat yourself better."

She also received half a year's salary, plus the money for each article she submitted each month, and the bonus Lin Yuyao gave her during the Chinese New Year, so she had saved more than a thousand yuan.

She was wearing the cheapest clothes; the cotton-padded jacket was cheap, but too thin. She was cold even though she was wearing two sweaters underneath.

She also envied Lin Yuyao for being able to wear a light down jacket.

She thought that if she found a cheap one, she would buy one for herself too.

"Okay, let's go to the mall and see. If we can't find it there..." She glanced at the clothes in Pan Xiaohua's shop again. To be honest, she thought they were very nice. She had seen some of the styles in the mall in Chenshan Town.

It's expensive in the mall, but here it's less than half the price.

"If I can't buy it here, I'll come back here to buy it."

They were about to leave when Pan Xiaohua not only waved to them but also shouted at her.

"Yu Yao."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

She gave an awkward laugh and casually asked, "Xiaohua, how's business?"

Pan Xiaohua smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. I've been busy, but I have a little free time right now. It's been a long time since I've seen you here. Are you here to buy New Year's goods today?"

Lin Yuyao shook the things in her hand, "Yes, it's almost Chinese New Year, so I'm buying some couplets and New Year pictures."

Are you spending the Lunar New Year here this year? Not going home?

"No, I'm busy with work. What about you?"

"I'm not going back. I'm free right now. Come in and have a seat."

Lin Yuyao looked at Ye Xiaotong, "Shall we go in and sit for a while?"

"Okay."

She happened to want to look at clothes, and she really thought the clothes here were quite nice.

Of course, Ye Xiaotong doesn't know yet that Pan Xiaohua is selling counterfeit goods. The genuine products are down jackets, while Pan Xiaohua is selling feather jackets, which is why they are cheaper.

Lin Yuyao walked into the store and saw a little girl busily tidying up clothes.

"Xiaocao?"

The girl looked up, and it was Pan Xiaocao.

Lin Yuyao: "You two sisters are both here?"

Pan Xiaohua laughed and said, "Yes, I brought my sister over."

"Has the little grass stopped reading?"

“I’m not going. I didn’t pass the exam. My family’s circumstances are what they are. Even if I had passed, my older brother wouldn’t have let me go.”

Pan Xiaocao said, "I sell clothes with my sister, and it's pretty good."

Since that's what they've said, then of course it's a good thing.

Pan Xiaohua said that it's very busy for her to manage the shop by herself, as she not only has to sell goods, but she also has to pick them up.

I always get up before dawn to pick up goods on my tricycle, and start selling as soon as it gets light. On busy weekends, I don't even have time to eat; I'm exhausted like a dog.

Summer is alright, but winter is particularly unbearable.

Now that her sister is here, her sister watches the shop while she goes to pick up goods, making things much easier for her.

After listening to her words, Lin Yuyao said, "That's great! You're busy here, but you must be making a lot of money."

Pan Xiaohua said with a smile, "That was quite profitable, thanks to my sister-in-law... and thanks to Miss Fu for introducing me to this opportunity."

After chatting for a while, Pan Xiaohua suddenly stopped smiling and asked somewhat nervously, "By the way, does the Fu family have any news about my second brother?"

She knew that Pan Xiaohua wouldn't approach her to reminisce for no reason.

"No, I don't usually contact Sister Leyi much. She's very busy, and we always just exchange a few words before hanging up. Even if I did know, I wouldn't know. If you really want to know, you can only ask Sister Leyi."

Pan Xiaohua sighed in disappointment, shook her head and said, "Forget it, he'll come back on his own if he wants to, and it's no use asking him if he doesn't. Besides, Miss Fu has helped me a lot, I... sigh! In the end, it's our family that has let her down."

Lin Yuyao was speechless for a moment.

A moment later, Pan Xiaohua asked again, "Can my little niece walk yet?"

"He can walk, but he's a little unsteady."

"She's still young, it's normal for her to be unsteady on her feet. Other children have fathers, but my little niece..."

"Little flower."

Lin Yuyao stopped her from saying anything further.

“An unhealthy family is far more damaging than a broken family. Your father isn’t as important as you think. Think about your niece.”

Pan Xiaohua suddenly stopped, tears welling up in her eyes.

My eldest niece, the little girl who lost her arm.

The whole family said she fell accidentally, but ever since she broke her arm, she hasn't talked much.

Pan Xiaohua asked her many times, but she didn't answer.

It wasn't until recently that Pan Xiaocao finally found out that her older brother had hit her arm.

In order to have a chance to have a son, the eldest brother broke his niece's arm, crippling her at a young age.

"Yes, you're right. Dad isn't that important; it would be better if we didn't have a dad."

At this point, tears finally broke free.

Pan Xiaocao handed her a handkerchief, saying, "Sister."

Pan Xiaohua forced a smile, "I'm sorry, you all had to see this."

"It's nothing. Is your eldest niece still in school?" Lin Yuyao asked curiously.

This time it was Pan Xiaocao who answered, "She's not going anymore. We suspended her from school before because she needed to treat her arm, and she hasn't been going since. She's at home helping to take care of her younger brother now."

"I remember she was still in elementary school?"

"Yes, he only went to the third grade of elementary school. We don't know what he'll do in the future."

What a crime.

She looks to be only ten years old, either born in the 70s or 80s?

This generation only has a third-grade education; they're doomed from now on.

Pan Xiaohua sniffed and said, "I'll go home after the New Year and steal her away."
