Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Return

"My cousin Mianmian is the biggest troublemaker ever," Yang Xiaoxi didn’t hold back. "The more you indulge her, the more out of line she becomes. As long as she’s well, I don’t care about anything else."

Shen Mianmian chuckled, "Lucky for you, you’re decisive. Otherwise, having her as a relative, you’d be in for a world of suffering."

"I’m not her parent; I won’t let her mooch off me," Yang Xiaoxi declared proudly.

The two of them went back, prepared something simple to eat, and then headed to school. When they came home in the evening, Yang Xiaoxi had specifically bought a jar of beef sauce, planning to make noodles with beef sauce later. But as soon as she opened the courtyard gate, she was stunned.

Zhu Yun was sitting on the stone bench, munching on the snacks Yang Xiaoxi had bought earlier. Upon seeing them, Zhu Yun hastily wiped her mouth and stood up, saying, "You’re back? Cousin, I got hungry, so I took some snacks from your room. I only had a little, I didn’t eat them all, I left quite a lot for you."

Yang Xiaoxi’s eyes bulged like brass bells, completely ignoring her words, and angrily walked over to ask, "What are you doing here? Didn’t I find you a job?"

Mentioning the job set Zhu Yun off, "What kind of crap job was that? I accidentally broke a bowl, and the boss actually wanted me to pay for it. I got so mad, I just packed up and came back."

"So you quit your job, and you also lost money for a bowl?" Yang Xiaoxi was practically fuming.

"Mm-hmm," Zhu Yun nodded, admitting it.

Shen Mianmian asked curiously, "How did you get in?"

"Climbed over the wall," Zhu Yun bragged triumphantly. "It’s not that high of a wall, pretty easy to climb."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Before she could speak, Zhu Yun added, "Mianmian, you might as well just make me a key, see, when you guys go to school, it’s inconvenient for me to get in and out, having to climb over the wall. If others don’t know, they might mistake me for a thief."

She still preferred living here and had no intention of moving out.

"Do you think this is your house? You want a key? Where do you get the nerve?" Yang Xiaoxi asked.

Zhu Yun ignored her and turned to Shen Mianmian, "Mianmian, this is your house, what you say goes. Your house is so big, don’t you need a maid or something? I can wash clothes, cook, and sweep. I’ll clean for you, you don’t have to pay me, just provide food and shelter."

Zhu Yun’s plan was simple: settle in now, and look for an opportunity to act later.

Shen Mianmian responded quickly, "Not needed. Out of consideration for Xiaoxi, you can stay for one more night, but tomorrow you must move out. Whether you find a job or go back to your hometown, that’s your business, not mine. I’m not running a charity here."

Shen Mianmian knew, Zhu Yun was banking on Yang Xiaoxi’s reluctance to leave her stranded, no matter the job, she surely wouldn’t stick it out. With that in mind, it was better to be the bad guy herself.

"..."

Seeing Shen Mianmian’s stern voice wasn’t joking, Zhu Yun suddenly panicked.

"Cousin, are you really going to let me end up on the streets?"

However, in her heart, Yang Xiaoxi gave Shen Mianmian a big thumbs up.

That’s exactly how Zhu Yun should be dealt with.

"This isn’t my house, I have no say. I found you a job and you didn’t take it, it’s not my fault," Yang Xiaoxi huffed.

Zhu Yun realized staying here was out of the question, so she tried another tactic, "Then find me another job, please?"

"We have school, we don’t have time to find you a job every single day," Yang Xiaoxi glared at her.

Zhu Yun was quick to come up with another idea, hastily saying, "Then let me stay here a few more days, until Sunday. You can help me find a job then?"
