Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Pei Loaer Makes a Fortune (1)_1
Si Ya’s face was stormy, and she looked very displeased. Seeing Pei Qin raise an eyebrow, she hummed lowly, "They came to eat yesterday, didn’t pay, and here they are again today!" Ten wen a day, and in two days they’ve eaten twenty wen of ours! If they keep coming, they’ll eat us out of house and home!
Lady Fang sighed softly, "They won’t come every single day," as she dished out two bowls of noodles for the siblings.
"Big cousin! Grandma’s illness hasn’t gotten better, aren’t you going to visit?" Fang Fang asked while slurping her noodles, resuming yesterday’s conversation. Now that they were making money with the stall, if they were to visit relatives, they would surely have to bring meat and other treats!
Lady Fang had a hard time answering. Her family had disowned her, and if she went back...
Fang Liuming was only six years old, and no matter how delicious beef noodles were, he couldn’t finish a bowl by himself. Fang Fang reached out with her chopsticks towards her own bowl, "You eat more meat and get full, leave the noodles for me!"
"I’m not full yet!" Fang Liuming protested.
"Drink more soup then. Otherwise, let big cousin dish out some more for you!" Fang Fang said nonchalantly, gobbling down the noodles, hardly satisfied with the portion.
After the two finished eating, Fang Fang was reluctant to leave. She asked Lady Fang how much she could make in a day and insisted that she should visit her family.
Si Ya couldn’t hold back, "What does that have to do with you!? When we were down and out, you didn’t care. Now that we’re earning money, you come to ’ask for property’!? After eating for free for two days without paying, what else do you want!?"
"We’re family, and all I did was eat a bowl of noodles, why are you being so fierce!" Fang Fang protested, her chubby neck retracting in displeasure.
"Coming over to eat our noodles for free every day, I should be asking you why! You never cared before, but now that we have money, suddenly we’re family!" Si Ya harrumphed angrily.
"Si Ya!" Lady Fang uttered sternly, telling her to stop.
Pei Qin didn’t intervene but instead addressed Fang Fang, "Have you had your fill?"
Fang Fang, true to her brazen nature, rubbed her belly, "Not fully, still a bit hungry!"
"Then that’s about right, you wouldn’t be able to eat another bowl now anyway. Go wash the dishes, move around a bit, and you’ll get hungry again soon!" Pei Qin pointed at the dishes soaking in the basin.
"If I wash dishes now, can I have another bowl later?" Fang Fang didn’t see an issue with washing dishes as long as she was fed.
Pei Qin nodded towards the basin.
Fang Fang agreed and went to wash the dishes.
Seeing her so obedient, Si Ya’s look turned even more sour, "Break one, and you’ll owe ten!"
"I won’t break any!" Fang Fang retorted impatiently, squatting down to scrub the dishes clean.
She thought she only had to wash a few.
By noon, as the number of people coming for noodles increased, it seemed like the dishes would never end. Fang Fang grew tired of it, "Just for a bowl of noodles, I have to wash so many dishes!"
"From now on, anyone who comes to eat for free must work first!" Pei Qin glanced at her.
Fang Fang pouted unwillingly. Seeing more bowls collected on the table, she threw her chopsticks into the basin, "I’m not doing this anymore! The water is freezing! And there are so many to wash!"
"If you don’t work, then don’t expect to eat our noodles for free again!" Si Ya pushed her aside, swiftly washing the dishes and passing them to San Ya and Lady Fang to serve the noodles.
"Big cousin! You should go see grandma! She misses you every day!" Fang Fang was still trying to persuade Lady Fang.
Lady Fang responded vaguely, "I’ll go when I find the time."
Fang Fang wanted to add more but seeing the glare from Si Ya, she pursed her lips and, taking Fang Liuming with her, left, "I didn’t even eat my fill, and I worked for so long; I have to go home and eat something more."
Fang Liuming, who had shared his noodles, called after her, "I didn’t get enough to eat either."
