As soon as the words were spoken, a familiar and highly unpleasant voice ca from outside the door.
"Sister-in-law, it’s , hurry up and open the door."
Upon hearing the voice, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but click her tongue.
Both families were already in such turmoil, yet this shaless second aunt still dared to co knocking.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and open the door!"
Outside, Zhang Guifang hadn’t received anyone to open the door for her, so she started knocking more loudly.
To be honest, Liu Cuilan really didn’t want to open that door.
Nothing good could co from this woman visiting.
But it wouldn’t do any good to have her knocking there at noon, disturbing the neighbors, so she reluctantly instructed Su Jianwu with a long face, "Old Five, go open the door."
Su Jianwu hadn’t liked this second aunt since he was a kid, but he grudgingly walked over upon hearing he was to open the door.
Zhang Guifang had been knocking away without anyone responding, feeling sowhat displeased, thus knocking even harder.
After all, she was a real relative, yet they let her just stand out here. If not for her eldest son, she wouldn’t have bothered coming.
She had just heard that Su Xiaoxiao had returned from her business trip to Lin City, bringing back loads of things.
Must have been quite a profitable trip, indicating how valued she was at the departnt store now.
Just as she was thinking this, the gate was squeaked open and a head peered out, asking, "What’s up?"
Deep down, Su Jianwu didn’t want this shaless second aunt to enter. Previously he showed so respect, but now... huh, they’re not relatives anymore, who cares about relatives?
Zhang Guifang frowned, this brat didn’t even call her ’second aunt,’ just left the door ajar, clearly not wanting to let her in.
"Old Five, second aunt ca to see your grandma."
Zhang Guifang saw him blocking the door entirely with no intention of letting her in, so she simply reached her hand over to push the door.
Su Jianwu, still a teenager, couldn’t compete with her strength, and was inadvertently shoved aside as she squeezed through.
Even though Zhang Guifang said she was there to see Wang Chunhua, she didn’t even glance towards the west wing, heading straight into the living room.
"Sister-in-law, having lunch?"
The mont she stepped inside, she cheerily greeted Liu Cuilan, as if none of the previous unpleasantness had ever happened.
Liu Cuilan ignored her, asking with a long face, "Why are you here?"
Facing the cold stares of the entire family, Zhang Guifang showed no discomfort, casually pulling up a chair and sitting down, "Isn’t it that my family just got so eggs, so I specifically brought them over to see our mom."
At this statent, Liu Cuilan was sowhat surprised. Zhang Guifang had always been stingy; she had never tasted her eggs before. How co she’s so generous now?
Her gaze swept over, indeed seeing Zhang Guifang carrying a basket with two eggs, really "generous" indeed!
Such a big basket, with only two eggs inside, truly the sa stingy Zhang Guifang.
Liu Cuilan sneered inwardly, her face showing no warmth.
"Fine, leave the eggs, I’ll cook them for the old lady later. My third child just returned from a business trip, hasn’t eaten yet, so we’re not going to see you out."
Liu Cuilan had a tone of kicking soone out.
Zhang Guifang acted like she didn’t understand, placing the basket on the table, her eyes wandering around the room, "I heard Xiaoxiao went to Haining City for business? Haining is such a great place."
Once she finished speaking, nobody was willing to respond.
Zhang Guifang didn’t mind the awkwardness, continuing by herself, "I bet this business trip brought in quite a bit, huh?"
"Sister-in-law, still your third child who’s most promising. Look at how young she is already going on business trips like a leader; I heard she was personally transferred by the head of the departnt store in Haining City, wow, really does bring pride to our Su Family."
Su Xiaoxiao figured it out, this shaless second aunt wasn’t there to visit Wang Chunhua, she was clearly targeting her, just not sure what she was after.
Liu Cuilan also detected the underlying aning in her words, imdiately turning even sour, "If you have sothing to say, just say it, don’t waste our al ti."
Anyway, the family had already torn face, Liu Cuilan wasn’t bothered about being aloof.
Before, Zhang Guifang always sched against her, took advantage of her, which she didn’t dispute; but now she’s thinking of taking advantage of her third child, no way.
"Sister-in-law, actually it’s no big deal, Xiaoxiao’s cousin hasn’t found a suitable job, so I wanted to ask Xiaoxiao if her connections could arrange a job for him?"
"The salary doesn’t have to be too high, just sothing less demanding."
Zhang Guifang was rather brazen, straight out asking Su Xiaoxiao to help her son with a job.
"We are all one family, Xiaoxiao’s successful now, can’t forget her roots."
She’s really shaless, speaking without blush.
Turns out that’s her idea!
Before she looked down on the third child, saying that girls were worthless and better off finding a good husband early; now she’s co begging the third child for help, what a thick face she has!
Liu Cuilan imdiately felt her stomach filled with anger, words ready to curse out loud.
But before she could speak, Su Xiaoxiao began talking.
"Second aunt, I’m just a small-ti sales clerk, how could I have that kind of power? I don’t even know how long I’ll have my job; maybe one day I’ll be fired, oh well, can’t help it, I am just a worthless girl who eventually has to marry..."
These were the words Zhang Guifang and Wang Chunhua used when forcing Su Xiaoxiao to marry the village chief’s foolish son; she now returned them.
Zhang Guifang didn’t expect her to say that, her face turned pale, "Xiaoxiao, that’s just sothing your second aunt said carelessly, what’s wrong with being a girl? Look at you, aren’t you just as successful?"
"Can you think of sothing for your cousin’s job? We don’t ask for much, just steady work, a bit of ease, and a salary not too low."
Zhang Guifang was seriously thick-skinned, still making requests despite everything.
If not for respecting elders Su Xiaoxiao would’ve smacked her, just to see if her face was thick enough not to penetrate with a slap.
Not only did she want help finding a job, but also an easy one with decent pay, isn’t that just dreaming?
If there was such a good job she would have already arranged it for her older brothers.
Both older brothers were doing hard labor at the factory, exhausted every day, earning barely more than her.
"Xiaoxiao, rest assured, second aunt won’t let you work for nothing, once it’s done I’ll give you five bucks as a tip, how’s that?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Really big-hearted, aren’t you?
Nowadays transferring a decent job externally costs at least two or three hundred, five bucks, isn’t that basically freeloading?
She was about to refuse when suddenly the door was shoved open.
Everyone turned their heads simultaneously to see Wang Chunhua tremblingly standing at the door, holding a cane single-handed.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but furrow her brows; her shaless grandma ca out now, could she possibly be speaking in favor of her second aunt?
