Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Dislike You for Being Poor, Afraid You for Being Rich

"Do something?" Si Chen suddenly turned to look at Tong Yao, his voice sounding like he had just woken up, causing Tong Yao to skip a beat.

The room was very dark, she couldn’t see Si Chen’s expression, but she knew he could see her. She was very grateful that Si Chen had turned off the light, perfectly concealing her burning cheeks.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course, do that thing which a husband and wife should do."

With that said, her little hand began to wander on Si Chen’s chest, but before she could misbehave, she was grabbed by Si Chen’s hand.

The next second, he stretched out his huge hand, directly pulling Tong Yao into his arms, his voice enticing like a seductive demon, "Behave, sleep."

"I’m not sleepy."

Tong Yao persisted, trying to struggle out of his arms, but his arms were so strong that she couldn’t break free.

She didn’t expect him to be so strong despite his lean appearance, confining her like steel rods so that she couldn’t move.

"I’m sleepy." Si Chen suddenly lowered his head and lightly kissed Tong Yao’s forehead, "We have to get up early tomorrow, so go to sleep."

The touch on her forehead left Tong Yao a bit dazed, but it also instantly woke her up.

My God!

What was she just doing?

Oh, she actually had the nerve to fumble Si Chen, and most importantly, she was rejected.

Using a kiss to deal with her was too perfunctory, wasn’t it?

Thinking about it for a long time, Tong Yao made a secret decision. Even if Si Chen was gay, she had to straighten him out. A man like this couldn’t be allowed to take the wrong path.

After a sound sleep, Si Chen had already gone to work when Tong Yao woke up the next morning. There was breakfast on the table. After changing and freshening up, Si Xiaohui arrived.

After breakfast, both made a call to Si Boyi who was working in the fields. On hearing that a call had come from the city, he excitedly threw his hoe on the ground and ran to the village head’s house.

Picking up the phone, Si Boyi felt like his heart was jumping up and down, he nervously said ’hello’, and then heard Si Xiaohui’s voice.

"Second brother, I have good news. Your sister-in-law is opening a store in the city, and we can’t manage it alone. We need you to come and help in the city."

"What?" Si Boyi thought he had heard wrong, and asked uncertainly again, "Which sister-in-law is opening a store in the city?"

"Apart from Tong Yao, who else is our sister-in-law! Second brother, are you dumb? I feel like a city mouse and you’re the country bumpkin. I can’t help but feel superior, let me tell you, our brother and sister-in-law are doing great in the city, now they’ve rented a storefront to open a milk tea shop at the gate of a middle school, they’ll be big bosses in the future."

"Opening a store in front of a middle school gate?" Si Boyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, in disbelief: "How much money does that require?"

"Your sister-in-law earns seventy to eighty a day from her business and has saved a good amount of money. She even plans to buy a refrigerator. Second brother, hurry up and tell mom, then come over to help with the renovation of the store. We’ll talk more when you get here, the call is expensive." Si Xiaohui was as proud as if she had earned all that money herself, wishing to let the whole world know about the wealth and prosperity of their family, and how different it was from the days when they couldn’t afford food.

"Okay, okay." Si Boyi whole person was overwhelmed, all he remembered was to urgently go to the city to help.

After hanging up, he ran home all the way. Seeing that the door to the house was closed, he remembered that Lin Fengying was weeding in the field, so he turned around and ran to the field.

"Boyi, what happened?" Seeing that her second son was sweating profusely, Lin Fengying turned pale with fright, her legs weakening. Her second son became so anxious after receiving the phone call, could something have happened to her oldest son?

"Mom, don’t worry, there’s no big problem." Si Boyi took a few deep breaths, seeing the uneasy expression on Lin Fengying’s face, he calmed her down and explained, "Your sister-in-law is preparing to open a store in the city, she called me to help."

Si Boyi’s face was overwhelmed with excitement, last time when Tong Yao left, she said she would arrange for him to come to the city. Although he really wanted to work in the city, he knew that finding work was not easy, but he didn’t expect to receive a call to come to the city after such a short time.

Most importantly, it was to work for his brother.

After their father passed away, relatives were afraid of lending money or food to their family, treating them like the plague. Si Boyi learned the coldness of human relationships at an early age, so he focused on farming in order to improve his life.

In recent years, due to the reform and opening up, everyone’s lives gradually improved, but Si Boyi was increasingly restless and helpless.

While his brother’s income was decent since he worked in a hospital, his wife was a city girl who loved to spend money. Hence, they were not very comfortable financially.

Hearing now that his brother and sister-in-law were opening a store, he was genuinely happy for them. As long as his brother’s conditions improved, no one would dare to look down upon them.

"Xiaochen and Yaoyao are opening a store?" Lin Fengying was startled at first, and then her lips trembled with excitement, her eyes welling up with tears, "That’s great, that’s really great. Boyi, even though your brother isn’t very talkative, he loves you and Xiaohui the most. He won’t forget us when he’s doing well. You pack up as soon as possible and go to the city to help out. Once you start earning money from your job, we can rebuild our house, finding a wife won’t be difficult then."

Her oldest son was married, her daughter was working, and what worried Lin Fengying now most was her youngest son. Now, her youngest son also had a stable job, and her oldest son was opening a store, it looked like their days of hardship were coming to an end.

"Mom, I’ll go back and pack, let’s talk more about it when I get to the city. Xiaohui said, they are waiting for me in the city to help with the renovation." Si Boyi didn’t know anything about the renovation but he had physical strength and could do the hard work. He was going to do whatever was asked of him and wouldn’t be lazy.

"Okay, okay, you go back and pack up."

Lin Fengying had originally planned to finish weeding the field, but thinking that her youngest son was about to leave for the city, she no longer had the mood to work. She picked up the hoe and rushed home.

"What are the two of you rushing around for?" Chen Jinlan came out from the village, she saw Si Boyi hurrying home and wanted to ask what was going on, but before she could open her mouth, he already ran out of sight. Just a few steps later, she ran into Lin Fengying. Driven by curiosity, she grabbed Lin Fengying.

"Boyi is going to the city, I’m going back to help him pack. I need to see if he needs anything." Lin Fengying was still excited, unable to calm down, she just wanted to rush back home.

Chen Jinlan held on to her, puzzled: "Did Boyi find a job in the city?"

Are city jobs that easy to come by now?

Si Xiaohui had just gone to the city not long ago. Now Si Boyi is also going?

Chen Jinlan was a classic snobbish neighbour, she disliked it when Lin family was poor, but now that they were rapidly improving, she became naturally envious.
