The old and the young were having a lively conversation. Grandma Chen quietly waved at Xiang Xiaoyuan. “I have some money on me. If you need money for anything in the future, I…”

Xiang Xiaoyuan moved closer. “You’ll give it to me?”

Grandma Chen poked her forehead. “I’ll lend it to you!”

Xiang Xiaoyuan touched her forehead and chuckled. “Okay, I’ll definitely not forget you if I have ways to earn money.”

She understood Grandma Chen’s words. She had understood it a long time ago. Earning money was more important than men.

At the same time, on the other side.

Lu Bei was standing on the subway, holding an iron hoop. He started to question his life.

He was so tired, and several cuts had been made on his hand. Even though he had guessed that the job of a porter would not be easy, he had not expected it to be so tiring! He went to report at nine o’clock. Since Assistant Gao had recommended him, they did not check his ID card and he went straight to collect his uniform to start work.

Cars kept coming, unloading, and he kept moving the goods into the warehouse. He was like a robot, constantly moving around, and his clothes were soon soaked in sweat.

Finally, it was time to get off work. Even if the subway was crowded and there were no seats, it was still very comfortable to be able to blow on the air conditioner and relax without working.

There was no subway station near Repulse Bay Villa. The nearest subway station was two kilometers away. Lu Bei got off the train from the subway station and walked for a long time before he saw the gate of Repulse Bay Villa. When entering the villa, he would definitely pass by the Yuan Wei Convenience Store that his stepmother opened.

Coincidentally, he happened to bump into Xu Xiyao who was taking out the trash. Although the two of them were classmates, they had different social circles. They had not spoken much in the past two years.

Now, Lu Bei was covered in dirt and sweat. Xu Xiyao was clean and fresh. They were both working in the summer, so why was there such a big difference!

Perhaps he was too tired to think, Lu Bei actually asked him, “Xu Xiyao, how much does it pay for you to work here in a month?”

Xu Xiyao was a little confused as to why Lu Bei looked so miserable, as if he was doing some manual labor. He was even more surprised that Lu Bei asked about his salary, but there was no need to keep it a secret. In addition, he had a good impression of Lu Bei, so he told him.

Lu Bei: “? ? ?”

His salary was much higher than his!

Xu Xiyao keenly sensed that Lu Bei was exuding… envy? And a little jealousy?

Envy? Jealousy?

What did Lu Bei envy him for? What was he jealous of?

The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Lu Bei and Xu Xiyao were not close, and they did not have much in common to talk about. Between the two of them, one was a top student in the school, and the other was an underachiever. Other than being in the same class, they did not interact much.

Lu Bei thought of the blisters on his palm and his sore arm that was about to swell up. He asked, “Do you have safflower oil or ointment to reduce swelling and pain?”

Xu Xiyao paused for a moment. “Yes.”

Lu Bei replied, “Then I’ll buy some.”

“Okay.”

Xu Xiyao was very good at his job. In just two days, he had memorized the placements of every item on the shelves. In just a few seconds, he had brought the items that Lu Bei needed over because he did not know what brand Lu Bei wanted. He took a few more and placed them on the counter. “Which one do you want?”

Lu Bei did not know much about these things. He picked up a bottle of medicinal oil and paid for it. He casually said, “Don’t tell her that I’m here to buy safflower oil.”

If Xiang Xiaoyuan knew, his father would also know. Although it was a tiring day, he did not want to complain and did not want his family to know. He always felt that it was a shameful thing for his father to know that he was injured on his first day at work.

Therefore, even if he had a medicine cabinet and a family doctor at home, he still wanted to buy safflower oil from outside to solve the problem.

Xu Xiyao did not know what was going on, but he did not have the desire to probe further. He simply nodded and said, “The convenience store does not need a registration when buying things.” It meant that if the boss could not find out, he would not say anything.

Lu Bei was assured of his character. “Thank you.”

He hid the safflower oil behind his back. After smelling the unpleasant smell of sweat on his body, he quickly bid farewell to Xu Xiyao and ran towards the villa area.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had a good relationship with people. Not long after she transmigrated into the novel, she became familiar with some of the grandmothers in the villa area. For example, Grandma Chen, who came to get a manicure today, felt sorry for Xiang Xiaoyuan because she did not marry into a better family. She also felt that it was too hard for her to run a convenience store by herself, so she mentioned it to her son.

Grandma Chen’s children were very busy at work, but they would come to see her and talk to her every month. In order to make her mother happy, Grandma Chen’s son said that in the future, their company would get Yuan Wei Convenience Store to supply tea, snacks, and so on..
