Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Will Your Parents Support You Through High School?

Although the store hadn’t been rented yet, Shen Mianmian knew about He Nan’s efficiency.

Once the store was rented and a couple of shelves were set up, they could start the business, but first, they had to make sure the staffing was set.

If Xiaocui decided not to go, she’d have to look for someone else.

For a cashier, it was essential to find someone reliable, so her first choice was still Xiaocui.

Hearing Shen Mianmian say this, Xiaocui felt even more tempted. Shen Mianmian thought she could do it, and if she didn’t believe in herself, that would be a real lack of confidence.

Besides, if Shen Mianmian also went to the city to study, they could look out for each other. Such a good opportunity was something many people would vie for. If she missed it, it would indeed be a missed opportunity.

With these thoughts, Xiaocui nodded firmly, "Okay, I’ll go."

After saying that, she looked worried, "Mianmian, will your parents be able to support you through high school?"

Shen Mianmian winked mischievously and whispered in her ear, "I’ve saved up some money recently. Even if my parents don’t support me, I can still go to school on my own."

Hearing this, Xiaocui felt relieved.

That Shen Mianmian had saved money didn’t surprise her at all. Having been at the Lu Family’s for so long, she had realized that Shen Mianmian’s work for Lu Siyuan wasn’t just simple labor.

Although she sensed something, she never pried. She focused on her job, earned her money, and took care of herself. Shen Mianmian was so good to her; if she went around talking carelessly, that would be truly ungrateful.

And Shen Mianmian especially appreciated this about her; therefore, she didn’t make a point of keeping many things from Xiaocui.

As they spoke, they quickly arrived home. Shen Mianmian said softly, "Going to the city will definitely need your mom’s approval. You should feel out her attitude first and see if she agrees. If she doesn’t, don’t worry—I’ll help you convince her later."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Don’t worry, even if you go to the city, we’ll still buy your family’s wild vegetables, and you’ll get a raise when you’re in the city."

Xiaocui listened with bright eyes and nodded, then hurried home cheerfully.

Madame Liu was getting ready to cook when she saw Xiaocui come back and immediately asked, "Why did you come back so late today? Come and help me start the fire."

"Mom, don’t rush, I have something to tell you," Xiaocui, with unstoppable joy shining in her eyes, pulled Madame Liu aside.

"What is it?"

Madame Liu had just picked up her apron but put it back down, sensing her daughter’s happiness and anticipating good news.

Last time her daughter spoke to her like this, it was about the wild vegetables, and their household income increased, even more than what her husband earned.

So hearing her speak in such a manner again filled her heart with unconscious excitement.

"Mom, my boss doesn’t need help making bamboo baskets anymore, so, I won’t have to go there soon."

"What?" Madame Liu’s face fell. She had thought it was good news but didn’t expect her daughter to be losing her job. Worriedly she asked, "Why suddenly don’t they need anyone? Did you not work properly when you were there?"

Madame Liu thought that perhaps needing fewer people was just an excuse the boss made up to fire her daughter.

"Mom, don’t worry, listen to me," Xiaocui quickly soothed Madame Liu, "The boss thinks I work diligently, so he’s planning to refer me to work at his relative’s place. The wage is higher than what I earn here."

As soon as Madame Liu heard about working in the city with a higher salary, her eyes lit up.

Going to the city and getting a raise was like receiving a gift from heaven!
