He Zhou stood before a seafood stall and was paying the bill. The stack of pink yuan was not something a student could take out.
He Jing’s expression froze. He Zhou inadvertently glanced over after paying the bill and met her gaze. Upon seeing her, his expression chilled; he obviously hated her.
“What a coincidence, Third Brother.” He Jing threw on a smile as she approached him.
He Zhou did not even bother to respond and simply walked past her.
“Is Third Brother secretly working part-time for someone?” He Jing asked almost nonchalantly.
As soon as she posited the possibility, He Zhou stopped. He spun around and glared at He Jing. “It has nothing to do with you,” he growled. “I hope you know what’s good for you – just treat it as if you never saw me.”
“I might not be able to do that.” He Jing smiled.
He Zhou tensed, his glare growing in intensity. “Don’t think you’re the only one who can earn money to support our family. All the yuan I’ve got was earned through legal means.”
He Jing decided not to pursue the issue for now. Instead, she smiled graciously, “That’s alright. Since Third Brother doesn’t want to discuss it, I shan’t inquire further. I’ll be on my way after I’ve bought some vegetables for tonight’s dinner.”
Her voice trailed in the wind as she spoke, leaving He Zhou behind as if they had never met.
He Zhou frowned, his lips pursed in a thin line. It felt like he had come up short in that exchange.
Damn it!
He Jing really knew how to push people’s buttons!
He Zhou remained in the market for a while, spying on He Jing as she skillfully picked ingredients, haggling with the grocers to get them at their best price. It was not long before she secured a good harvest. He Zhou seethed at the sight and stomped out of the market angrily.
After buying the groceries, He Jing rendezvoused with He Ning and He Sui. As promised, she kept silent about meeting with He Zhou at the market. freeweb novel.co m
When they got home, He Zhou told them everything. Perhaps he felt there was no point tiptoeing around the issue, or maybe it was just how meticulous He Yi could be when he wanted to know something. After all, it wasn’t every day one came home to a table full of drunk crabs. Answering He Suit s question again, He Zhou said:
“I found a job. It’s not a big deal.”
Unexpectedly, the He family brothers were not happy about this revelation.
“What kind of work? Will it affect your studies?” He Ning demanded.
“I secretly participated in a cooking competition a while back, ” He Zhou replied. “The owner of Prosperous Restaurant took a fancy to me. He invited me to apprentice myself under one of his chefs. He said he would pay me 800 yuan a month, so I agreed. The boss isn’t a bad man. He knew I was still in school and said I could leave once I was done chopping the vegetables to avoid affecting my studies. He also gave me some pocket money to buy groceries.”
The whole family fell silent.
“How can there be such a good opportunity in the world?” He Sui blurted without thinking. “Third Brother hasn’t been deceived, has he? He isn’t mixed up in some MLM scheme, is he?”
He Zhou sniffed in disdain. “When has there ever been a multi-level marketing organization that pays their employees consistently or lets them come and go as they please?”
He Sui shifted uncomfortably.
That was true.
“This is a good thing,” He Yi said. “Everyone should be happy for Third Brother. How can you doubt his ability? The chef competition that Third Brother participated in was published in the newspaper. It looks quite formal…”
“Have you signed the contract?” He Jing asked suddenly. “Let me see the contract. ”
“What do you mean?” He Zhou’s expression changed. He immediately turned hostile toward He Jing.
He Jing met his eyes, refusing to back down. “I just don’t want Third Brother to be played for a fool.”
He Zhou did not want to listen to He Jing any longer. He felt she was always looking down on him just because she was the better chef between the two of them. “He Jing, don’t think you’re the only one who knows how to make money,” he snapped..
