Yan Han also laughed. “That’s because your father respects your grandmother. As your father’s daughter-in-law, of course, I can’t argue with her. Even if she favors your two aunts and makes me do more work, I’m willing to endure it for your father.
“But things are different now. We’re living separately, and your grandmother can’t control me. So why should I be polite to those outsiders? If they take advantage of us, won’t we earn less?”
When it came to earning, Yan Han was especially motivated.
With so much income every day, Yan Han also relaxed a little. In the past, they only had meat for lunch at home, but now, they had meat for almost every meal.
Yan Han felt that her children had been working hard, and it was time for them to grow up. In the past, the family lacked financial resources, and the children were forced to eat vegetarian food. Most of the meat was given to Xia Yu. Now that the family was better off, they naturally could not let the children suffer.
Xia Hails hands were much better now. He wanted to find work, but Xia Wan stopped him. She wanted him to help supervise the renovation. She knew what she wanted it to look like, but she didn’t know the workers. If they slacked off and cut corners, she wouldn’t be able to tell.
In fact, Xia Hai didn’t really like the shop, but as Xia Wan had spent a lot and he couldn’t destroy the decoration, he eventually agreed.
Xia Wan only remembered the notebook she bought yesterday after breakfast. She quickly took out the stationery and notebooks and gave them to Xia Chen and Xia Feng one by one.
Xia Feng was still a child. He cried out in surprise and hugged the stationery.
“Wow, you’re real nice! I’m not going to run out of stationary for a year!”
As he spoke, he raised his head and blinked. He said to Xia Wan excitedly,
“Thank you, sister! You’re the best!”
Xia Wan’s smile bloomed at his words. She touched Xia Feng’s head.” You’re the only one who knows how to talk.”
Xia Chen was a little silent. He looked at the stationery with a complicated gaze. There was desire and escape.
Xia Wan came in front of him and took the initiative to say, “Brother, take it.” Xia Chen shook his head. “No need. I’m not studying anymore. It’s useless to have these.”
“Then you’ll naturally need it when you return to school.” Xia Wan looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Xia Chen was stunned. “Go back to school?”
He then shook his head. “No, we need to sell clothes now. We’ll need more manpower when the shop is renovated. You and Xia Feng are starting school soon. I have to help.
“Besides, I gave up studying because I felt that it was too stressful. Isn’t studying to make money? Now that I can help my family earn, I won’t choose to study anymore.”
Hearing Xia Chen’s words, Yan Han and Xia Hai looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Xia Wan said firmly, “No, brother. There’s no hurry to make money. I have many ways to make money, but studying can’t be delayed. If you choose to work when you should study, you’ll regret it in the future.”
“I don’t regret it,” Xia Chen said immediately.”
Xia Chen didn’t look Xia Wan in the eye when he said this.
Xia Wan knew that this was not what Xia Chen meant.
In order to persuade Xia Chen to study, she said, “I think what brother said makes sense. Since the purpose of studying is to earn money, then I won’t study anymore. I’ll go earn money too.”
“No!” Xia Chen immediately shouted.
Xia Wan smiled and asked him, “Brother, why can you give up studying, but I can’t? Dont you think that studying is useless?”
Xia Chen’s expression became awkward, not knowing how to argue with Xia Wan.
He actually liked to study, but Xia Hai had just recovered from his injury, and Yan Han had been working hard all year round. If only the two of them were allowed to open the shop, Xia Chen feared that they would suffer.
This was especially true for Li Jin, who was unpredictable and could come looking for trouble. Yan Han and Xia Hai were still able to deal with the others, but when it came to Li Jin, there was nothing they could do.
He took a deep breath and said to Xia Wan, “Sister, only by studying can you have a great future. Since I’ve already given up on the college entrance examination, I no longer deserve to study. Let me earn to support my family with my parents.”
Xia Wan smiled, but her tone was firm. “I can’t.”
She seemed to understand Xia Chen’s worry and continued, “Don’t worry about Dad and Mom. After renovating the shop, I’ll hire specialized people to help open the shop and sell clothes. If anyone comes to cause trouble, these service staff will chase them away and call the police immediately.
“Your presence wouldn’t mean much to the shop. You should study hard and get into a good university..”
