70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 24: Shoe Factory in the County Town

When Xu Mumu brought her little brother to the main room, she saw Xu Dongbao sitting on his dad’s lap.

Seeing the eldest sister and second brother coming in, Xu Dongbao shrank into Xu He’s arms, clearly not fond of his eldest sister and second brother.

"Third brother, your Dongbao is really timid, far behind my Minglei." Xu Hai glanced disdainfully at the third brother and his child, not forgetting to praise his own kid.

"Big brother, it’s obviously Minglei bullying my Dongbao." Xu He was almost furious, big brother was still the same brother he least liked.

However, thinking about the purpose of returning today, Xu He suppressed his anger, the sister-in-law’s family has some money, and he needs to borrow money.

"It’s just that your Dongbao is too dumb, Minglei, come over to dad." Xu Hai sneered.

At noon, at the Old Xu Family’s dining table, this was considered the most sumptuous meal Xu Mumu had since she was reborn into this family. The braised pork with vermicelli, the twice-cooked pork, were definitely the most lavish she’d seen.

"Second sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law’s cooking skills are still so good." Lin Juan said with a smile, just unwilling to speak to the sister-in-law. Now every time she saw the big family’s people she got annoyed, but unfortunately, they needed the big family’s help, so she had to endure.

"Mumu, Minglei, come on, eat more." Li Caixia moved quickly, directly and efficiently putting a lot of meat into her children’s bowls.

"Mom, eat some too." Xu Mumu put some meat into Li Caixia’s bowl. Their family’s bowls were not short of meat, Xu Hai and Xu Minghui didn’t need Li Caixia’s help to know how to grab meat, and the meat in Xu Mumu and her little brother’s bowls were completely thanks to Li Caixia.

However, in Li Caixia’s bowl, there were only a couple of pieces of meat, which warmed Xu Mumu’s heart.

"Ah, good, still my daughter is thoughtful." Li Caixia’s smile grew even happier.

Xu Xue calmly glanced around at the big family’s direction, her hands were equally quick, not forgetting to take care of her own family, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t match the big family over there, who devoured like bandits.

Lin Juan was equally displeased, every time it was like this, whenever they returned, if there was meat, the big family acted like starving ghosts reincarnated, they had barely eaten a few pieces before it was all gone, leaving only vegetables, most of the meat already in the big family’s mouths.

Xu Mumu didn’t care what others thought, anyway, she was very happy eating, her mother’s skills were really impressive, this kind of speed, not using it to kill zombies was simply a waste of talent.

After lunch, Xu Mumu mentioned to Li Caixia, then packed up and headed to the county town.

"Mumu, come back early, I’ll let your brother pick you up." Li Caixia said with a smile to her daughter.

"No need, mom, it’s just a short walk, I can come back myself." Xu Mumu laughed, with her strength, whoever dared to mess with her, she could easily slap down with just a fraction of her power.

"Still, you have to come back early." Li Caixia was a bit worried, her daughter was so delicate and pretty, if anything happened, who would she cry to?

"Got it, mom, I’m leaving." Xu Mumu responded with a laugh, not minding Li Caixia’s nagging, she felt it was very heartwarming instead.

Waving to Li Caixia and them, Xu Mumu shouldered her backpack and headed for the county, before leaving, Li Caixia stuffed fifty cents into Xu Mumu’s hand.

Fifty cents was no small amount, Xu Mumu didn’t refuse, she guessed their parents might have some private savings, but with the family so poor, the savings couldn’t be much.

Now she had no money, those fifty cents could buy a lot of things, even a pound of meat.

Not far out, Xu Mumu helplessly looked back: "Brother, why are you following me?"

"Just because I’m worried about you." Xu Minghui, seeing himself discovered, didn’t mind, and walked right out.

"What’s there to worry about with me?" Xu Mumu was speechless, but her appearance was indeed deceptive, looking weak and delicate, but the truth was, even if a dozen strong men came, she could easily handle them.

"I’ll take you to the county town, and take a look at your classmate, so you’re not bullied." Xu Minghui lazily said.

"Alright, alright." Xu Mumu compromised, never mind, if they saw her as weak, so be it, going alone would definitely worry them too.

The two arrived outside Xu Mumu’s school, where Du Yu had been waiting for some time.

"Mumu, over here." Du Yu waved enthusiastically at Xu Mumu.

"A male classmate?" Xu Minghui raised an eyebrow slightly, his sister wasn’t planning to date, was she? Xu Minghui carefully observed Du Yu, this guy wasn’t poorly dressed, he likely came from a good family, not ugly, perhaps barely good enough for his sister.

Due to Du Yu’s decent conditions, he successfully became one of the potential backups in Xu Minghui’s mind, and Xu Minghui even planned to report this potential stock to their mother.

"Yes." Xu Mumu nodded.

Coming to Du Yu, Xu Mumu smiled and asked, "Du Yu, how long have you been here?"

"Just a short while, Mumu, this is?" Seeing Xu Minghui beside Xu Mumu, could this be Xu Mumu’s boyfriend? Du Yu felt a bit down, though he hadn’t heard of Xu Mumu dating.

"This is my brother. Brother, this is my classmate Du Yu, I’m just tutoring him." Xu Mumu laughed and introduced them.

"Oh, it’s big brother, hello big brother, I’m Du Yu, Mumu’s classmate." Du Yu’s eyes lit up.

"Not bad, take good care of Mumu." Xu Minghui smirked, this boy seemed naive, such people were easy to handle.

"Rest assured, big brother." Du Yu’s eyes brightened even more, as if Xu Minghui had given him some important hint.

"Brother, you head back first, I’m going to tutor Du Yu." Xu Mumu saw how well the two got along.

"Go ahead, I’m heading back, I’ll come pick you up later." Xu Minghui nodded.

"Big brother, my home is at the shoe factory, just report my name there, someone will bring you to find me." Du Yu said happily.

"Alright." Xu Minghui’s eyes flashed, the shoe factory was one of the larger ones in the county, he didn’t expect this boy to live there, possibly his parents worked at the factory.

Thinking this, Xu Minghui mentally slightly elevated Du Yu’s status as a potential backup.

Xu Mumu was also a bit surprised, her third uncle and aunt worked at the shoe factory, although both were temporary workers, her aunt’s father was a formal employee at the factory.
