70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 202: The Little One is Shy Around Strangers

Finally got rid of those matchmakers. Every time I have to go home, it’s like going to battle a hundred rounds.

"Oh, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Su are just too enthusiastic." Xu Minghui sighed with relief at the doorstep, it was really terrifying.

"If you don’t find someone sooner, once you have a partner, they naturally won’t keep pestering you." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"It’s just that I haven’t found the right one yet, you know how high mom’s standards are." Xu Minghui looked at Xu Mumu with a smile.

"Come on, you’re clearly not in a hurry to find someone and you’re using mom as a shield." Xu Mumu rolled her eyes, she knew her brother’s nature all too well.

"It’s still my sister who understands me, haha, I’m off to hug the little one." Xu Minghui moved the stuff inside and went to look for the little brother.

Xu Mumu was speechless and continued to hang the washed clothes in the courtyard.

Xu Minghui only comes home once a week, and the little guy doesn’t even know his big brother. Held by Xu Minghui, upon realizing it wasn’t someone familiar, the little guy started crying loudly.

"Bro, did you hurt the baby brother?" Seeing the little one crying so earnestly, Xu Minglei couldn’t bear it and looked at his brother accusingly.

"Did not, I was holding him gently, he just wants to cry." Xu Minghui was also distraught by the crying and felt wronged.

"Let me hold him." He took the little brother from the big brother’s arms, giving his brother a ’what’s the point of you’ look.

Xu Minghui rolled his eyes helplessly, this little rascal must be itching for trouble.

The little guy stopped crying after being held by Xu Minglei for just a while, which made Xu Minghui quite envious; the little brother wasn’t close to him, and it felt really unfair. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

While hanging the clothes, Xu Mumu watched this scene and felt a laugh coming on. Such a big person, yet still so childish.

The little guy is actually pretty easy to comfort. As long as he’s not hurt and held by someone familiar, he’ll calm down quickly.

Once the little guy stopped crying, Xu Minghui started teasing him with a rattle. This time he didn’t hold him, and he didn’t cry. When the rattle jingled, the little guy even gave a toothless smile.

Xu Minghui played with the little guy for a bit, then went to his bag to take out the stuff he brought back.

He bought braised pork and meat buns from the state-run restaurant, brought specially for the little one, some baby formula, and also some notebooks for Xu Mumu, snacks for Xu Minglei, and nutritional supplements for the grandparents and parents. Now each month he makes quite a bit more money, his little savings are building up, and he’s getting more generous with his purchases.

When Xu Hai and the others came back and saw all the stuff Xu Minghui bought, they were happy but couldn’t help nagging their son for being extravagant.

"You rascal, you earn a bit of money and don’t know how to save it. Next time don’t buy so much." Looking at what his son bought, Li Caixia was troubled. Clearly, she and Xu Hai were stingy people, yet somehow their son and daughter both had quite the knack for spending money, making her heartache.

"Mom, these aren’t expensive. You guys go ahead and use them. When they run out, I’ll just pick some more when I’m out." Xu Minghui said nonchalantly, money is meant to be spent, and besides, he isn’t not saving, it’s just that he hasn’t started a family yet, so he doesn’t have many expenses.

"Next time, don’t buy it, we don’t lack formula at home." Li Caixia was speechless, she really wanted to control her son’s salary.

Unfortunately, Xu Minghui definitely wouldn’t agree, so she could only think about it.

"Got it, I won’t buy formula next time." Xu Minghui nodded, they indeed didn’t lack formula at home; there’s enough for the little guy for at least half a year.

In the evening, while eating meat buns, Xu Mumu was in a pretty good mood.

She was also contemplating ways to earn money, having sorted out the knowledge points and just waiting for the announcement of the reinstatement of the college entrance exams.

Although she occasionally submitted articles during this time, the selection rate wasn’t high, so she didn’t have much money.

Should she continue to take on work from the experimental base, Xu Mumu was a bit conflicted. Translating is meticulous work, especially translating documents, accuracy is crucial.

It’s precisely because of this that it requires a lot of effort, and taking on this job would leave her with no time to review for exams.

She’s almost done with her reviews now, having gone through the knowledge points the second time and solved a lot of questions, so she’s confident in her capabilities.

The papers Yin Yang found for her were done, and she had reviewed them multiple times.

Lying in bed at night, she was still thinking about this, until finally deciding not to choose that job; it was too time-consuming and tiring.

Now, about the only thing she could do is submit articles and also not miss any scholarships from school.

Sigh, it was really taxing her mind, calculating this little bit of money, even though Xu Xue’s business seemed to go smoothly, Xu Mumu knew she nearly got caught several times, only recently did it get better, and she was able to wholesale her products.

But the expenses for the second house were much higher than for their side. Kangkang wasn’t strong and needed medicine frequently, needing supplements, not only for Kangkang but also for Qian Ying, so Xu Xue was under a lot of pressure.

Even though Xu Wan was helping with work, Xu Wan also had to go to school, and Xu Xue had quite high expectations of her younger sister.

Xu Xue took the entire family burden on herself, which Xu Mumu didn’t agree with. Having the entire family dependent on her was exhausting, she thought it’d be better to consider how to get their second uncle to step up a bit, so she’d have at least some relief.

But now, seeing Xu Xue earn quite a bit, Xu Jiang had no pressure at all, going to work when he should, and resting at home, even helping with the child, looking content as a lark.

On their side, even Xu Hai started to slack less lately, as the family was big now, and with the family split, without diligence, they wouldn’t have much grain allocation come year’s end.

As for mom and dad’s side, Xu Mumu temporarily hadn’t figured out any work arrangements for them, so they continued with what they were doing in the team.

In her little savings, Xu Mumu now only had a bit over forty bucks, with no big expenses looming, it was considered a small reserve.

In the morning when she woke up, daylight was already up, she actually got up late today, having taken a long time to sleep after thinking about a bunch of stuff last night.

Outside in the courtyard, children’s voices were heard from time to time, Xu Jiaojiao and the others were teasing Xu Mingfeng.

"Sis, you’re up, I saved an egg in the pot for you." Xu Minglei was holding the baby brother, letting him stand on his legs, the little one seemed to enjoy this.

Xu Mumu nodded, washed her face, then lifted the pot lid, and sure enough, there was a boiled egg, but the rice was gone.
