"Little ...... Little Junior Sister? Xiaocao was so shocked when she heard the voice that she didn't even know that the melon seeds in her hand had fallen, she looked at her blankly, and it took a long time to react, with a fake smile on her face, and she stumbled: "Sister Xiaochu, why did you come?" ”

"Why, can't I come over?" Xiao Chu continued to take care of himself, "That's right, if I don't come, I won't see you like this when I'm not there...... Arrogant. After speaking, he looked at Xiaocao with a smile in his eyes.

This glance frightened Xiaocao, and quickly stood up and said, "That, Sister Xiaochu, I was just a little tired from the noodles, so I came to rest for a while." ”

After speaking, Xiaocao saw Mu Xiaochu's eyes on the bag of melon seeds at her feet, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly picked up the melon seeds and handed them to Xiaodouzi, "Hurry up and take Xiaodouzi, I bought this for you from outside." ”

Looking at the things handed over in front of him, Xiaodouzi didn't take it, but looked at Mu Xiaochu and said: "Sister Xiaochu, I didn't let her buy melon seeds, and her melon seeds didn't buy them for me, I have been meeting with each other just now, and Aunt Xu can testify." Said that he looked at Aunt Xu.

After he finished his hand, Mu Xiaochu didn't say anything, he thought that the other party didn't believe him, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and quickly pushed the melon seeds handed in front of him to Xiaocao, "It's not for me, I don't want it." ”

At the same time, he looked at Mu Xiaochu with red eyes, a little at a loss.

Mu Xiaochu approached Xiaodouzi in a few steps, touched his hair, and quipped: "Why are the eye sockets red, Aunt Xu, look at how cute our little bean is, the red eye sockets don't look like a little rabbit." ”

"Sister Xiaochu—" Xiao Douzi twisted her head to the side in embarrassment.

"Sister Xiaochu, you see that Xiaodouzi admits that I bought these melon seeds for him." Seeing this, Xiaocao interjected.

"I didn't! Who admits it, those are obviously what you bought for yourself! ”

"Xiaocao, how did you become such a person." Suddenly, Aunt Xu's disappointed voice sounded.

Xiaocao saw that Mu Xiaochu hadn't spoken yet, and continued: "Who doesn't know that Aunt Xu, you have always been very good to Xiaodouzi, then you will naturally turn to him." ”

"Enough!" Mu Xiaochu Road.

Then he turned his head to look at Xiaocao, and said in a voice that was not salty or light: "Later, you will go to the housekeeper to settle your salary, my shop is too small to afford you." ”

"Little Junior Sister?" Xiaocao looked at Mu Xiaochu in surprise, and finally pursed her lips and said, "Okay, since Sister Xiaochu has to do this to me, then I'll leave today!" ”

There was a hint of grief in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Soon the grass left the kitchen.

Xiao Douzi looked at her puzzled, "Little Junior Sister? ”

"Does Little Bean want her to stay here?"

"Of course I don't want to, Xiaocao hasn't done anything in the recent past, just getting paid for nothing! I don't want to do things with people like that! Xiaodouzi said indignantly.

He hates getting something for nothing!

Mu Xiaochu smiled: "That's not it." ”

"But......" Little Bean Zi never said.

In the end, Aunt Xu said: "Xiaodouzi wants to ask, why didn't Xiao Chu lose his temper with Xiaocao, right?" ”

Xiaodouzi nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, that's what Aunt Xu said." ”

"That's because she's not worth it." Mu Xiaochu replied in a flat tone.

On the other side, he went to find Xiaocao who was in charge of Xu, "What, isn't it just a little stinky money, when I have money in the future, I will definitely take revenge today!" As she spoke, she saw Steward Xu.

After informing Steward Xu of his intentions, Steward Xu didn't say anything, but directly asked the people around him to get the money.

Soon, the money was returned.

"Here you go, here's your salary for this time, and you can go." Steward Xu's voice was mixed with deep disdain.

"Steward Xu, will you give less, obviously three taels of silver a month, why do I only have one tael?" Xiaocao looked at the silver in his hand and asked puzzled.

There was a hint of domineering in his tone.

"Oh, how much do you think a person who is idle and doesn't do anything should be paid?" Steward Xu looked at her funny, "You must know that it is still for Miss Xiaochu's sake to give you this money, don't pull it down!" ”

At the end of the sentence, his expression instantly became serious.

Xiaocao's angry hand kept pointing at Steward Xu, "You...... You are talking nonsense, I have been working here for more than a month, but as a result, you give this money, and I will go to the government to sue you! ”

Steward Xu looked at her contemptuously, "Sue me? It just so happens that I also want to sue you, don't work during work, but go out for a walk, don't think I don't know that you often go out to buy things, and, I'm curious, where did you get so much money? Every once in a while, new clothes, snacks. ”

"......" Xiaocao's eyes dodged, and he pulled his neck and said, "You...... Whoever gets my money from! ”

Steward Xu: "Oh, since you have so much money, you must not look down on this money either, so give it back to me." As he spoke, he reached out and took it.

When Xiaocao heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly put the silver in her arms, "If you don't give it, it's mine if you get it in my hands." ”

He ran out with a panicked look.

Because she had packed up before she came, she left directly.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Steward Xu sighed, "What a good child before, I hope she didn't get lost too deeply." ”

The matter of Xiaocao's departure here was soon told to Mu Xiaochu.

The first thing she said when she heard it was, "Tell the people in the White Grass School that I don't care about that person's tuition from today onwards." ”

It's not that she's stingy, it's that it's not worth it.

The person who came to pay the notice was puzzled at first, and then said respectfully: "The little one knows." ”

After saying that, he left.

"I'm curious why Xiao Chu said that, right?" Looking at the puzzled little bean, Aunt Xu asked.

Xiaodouzi scratched her head embarrassedly, and said a little embarrassed: "Aunt Xu, you can see it like this." ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "Because what you want to say is shown on your face." ”

Mu Xiaochu also looked at Aunt Xu with some doubts, as if he also wanted to know what she knew?

After Aunt Xu came into contact with Mu Xiaochu's sight, her eyes were full of apologies and said, "Xiaochu, I want to confess one thing to you before I talk about this." ”

Mu Xiaochu raised his eyebrows, waiting for her next words.

When Aunt Xu saw that the other party asked her to continue, Gu Da boldly said: "Once you and Steward Xu said that you would help give Xiaocao's younger brother some money for school, and Xiaocao didn't let Xiaocao know about it, and I accidentally heard it. ”

Then she explained in a somewhat urgent tone, "I really didn't mean to, I originally wanted to talk to you, but you didn't come once for a long time, and after a long time, you also know that older people are easy to forget, so I forgot about it...... No, I only thought of it when you first mentioned it. ”

"Oh, what happened to me, it's fine, it's not a big deal." Mu Xiaochu said indifferently: "Even if Aunt Xu knows, it's nothing, it's all over anyway." ”

When he spoke, he was inexplicably a little depressed.

But no, she has done so many things for Xiaocao, but she not only doesn't know how to repent, but she also has to make inches.

Forget it, don't stay.

Anyway, it's a heart that can't be warmed.

She thought that after the soup kitchen, she would restrain herself, but she didn't expect to become more and more arrogant.

When she was away, she openly talked back to her elders, if she continued to indulge like this, she might chill the hearts of Aunt Xu and Xiaodouzi.

Mu Xiaochu pursed his lips slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I've wronged you during this time, if I had stopped it earlier, I wouldn't have found out about such a thing." ”

After speaking, he bowed in the direction of Aunt Xu and Xiaodouzi.

"Gee, that's not going to happen." Seeing this, Xu Da hurriedly helped Mu Xiaochu up, "These things are what we should do, Xiaocao is right to say a little, even if there is no her, Xiaodouzi and I can do it, and I am an adult, how can I be angry with a child, I don't think Xiaodouzi will blame Xiaochu, right?" She looked at Little Bean and asked.

"Yes." Little Bean nodded in agreement.

Mu Xiaochu coughed and said with a serious expression: "Ahem-since you are all so sincere, then I will be merciful and say one thing." ”

Seeing that the attention of the two of them was on her, she continued: "That is, I plan to give you a salary increase, not surprised, not surprised!" ”

After speaking, he made an exaggerated movement, and his dark and bright eyes were full of smiles.

Aunt Xu, "This ......"

Mu Xiaochu interrupted: "You want to say that the pastry shop doesn't make any money now, and you deserve it, right?" ”

"yes, that's what it means."

"The current recession is only temporary, and it will get better soon." Mu Xiaochu said confidently.

Unexpectedly, she saw the more puzzled eyes of the two, but Mu Xiaochu didn't elaborate further, but sold a pass.

Having said that, Xiaocao, who left with the money, when she learned about her brother's tuition, regretted that her intestines were green, but it was too late.

In the evening, Mu Xiaochu left the pastry shop.

On the way back to Murong Mansion, she had been thinking about one thing.

But a few words she heard by chance made her fall into deep thought.

In an alley, there were two people.

"What you said is too immoral, I won't do it." One of them shook his head and refused.

"Oh, that's enough!" The other person gritted his teeth and ruthlessly escaped from his arms, and a few silver tickets were handed to the man along with the previous ones, "Scar, just stop everything in moderation, don't be too greedy and don't know." ”

There was a hint of menace in his tone.

After Scar heard the words, he wanted to refuse to ask for more money, but he was stuck in his throat, and the painting style immediately changed, and he took the silver ticket and put it in his arms with a smile, "I understand, Brother Feng, you can take a look." ”

The man named Brother Feng glanced at the other party with disdain, and finally said, "This matter is done, and your benefits are indispensable afterwards." With that, he left.

After Brother Feng left, Scar snorted for a while, then took out the silver ticket from his arms and let it go, gloating: "I don't know how that 'aftertaste color cake' shop offended Scar, and actually gave me so much money to slander its reputation." ”

Mu Xiaochu, who was hiding in the shadows, was tense when she heard the aftertaste color cake, but when she heard his last sentence, her dark and bright eyes were full of shock, and she whispered, "Someone actually wants to slander the reputation of the aftertaste color cake, who wants to do this?" ”
