When I got home, there were leftovers on the table.
I didn't touch any of it and quietly went into the kitchen to clean up.
My mom heard the noise from the kitchen and first ran to the door to check the goods,
to see if I was hiding any money.
Only then did she walk into the kitchen.
Seeing me throwing away the leftovers, she looked heartbroken.
"Why didn't you eat the scrambled eggs with tomatoes? And that bowl of vegetable soup with rice?"
"Today, the older brother next door closed his stall, so I helped him clean up and ate some leftover pancakes."
"By the way, Mom, my younger brother went to the night market where I set up my stall with his classmates today.
I saw him."
Hearing Li Guangsheng's name, my mom immediately asked nervously,
"Did you recognize each other?"
"No," I said, looking down.
"I was afraid of embarrassing him and didn't even dare to lift my head."
"That's good," my mom sighed in relief.
"If his classmates found out you were his sister, it would be too embarrassing for him."
"But..." I hesitated.
"But what?" My mom pressed anxiously.
"But he asked me for money, saying he wanted to take his classmates out for karaoke.
I thought it was hard for him to borrow money from me, so I secretly gave him two thousand."
"What?" My mom screamed, "You gave him two thousand? Where did you get that much money?"
I took out my phone and opened the payment code: "I made quite a bit today; there were several big orders."
The night market stall was booming, so naturally, the income was substantial.
My mom saw the string of numbers and nodded with gritted teeth, "That's good."
"Mom, I want to quit my job."
"What?" My mom's voice rose another octave.
"If you quit, what will your brother do?"
"Mom, I'm not quitting my current job; I want to quit the night market job. The stall there is too busy for me to handle."
My mom hesitated.
She had seen the booming profits from the night market.
If my decision delayed two sources of income, that would indeed be unwise.
"Then... can you guarantee that you'll earn more than at the night market after you quit?"
I nodded, "Regardless of whether I can earn more or not, I am my brother's sister. Even if the stall doesn't make much, I can always come back to work."
Upon hearing this, my mom was immediately moved and hugged me:
"Jingwen, I knew you loved your brother the most. Once your brother marries a rich girl and becomes a wealthy second-generation, he will definitely repay you well."
I lowered my head to hide the cold smile in my eyes.
Li Guangsheng wanting to marry a rich girl still needed to ask for my approval.
Just then, Li Guangsheng stumbled back home, drunk.
"Mom, Lin Jingjing agreed to officially date me!"
My mom was thrilled and hugged Li Guangsheng:
"That's great, son! I knew you could do it."
Then she turned to me and shouted:
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help your brother lie down!"
I took over the drunken Li Guangsheng, sneering to myself.
Li Guangsheng, don't you like money? Don't you like rich and beautiful women? I want to see which wealthy person would agree to let their daughter marry a deadbeat.
I immediately pulled out my phone and arranged a few loans for Li Guangsheng.
Back in my room, I stared at the phone screen, watching the balance in my bank account grow larger and larger, excited enough to stay awake all night.
Early the next morning, my mom called me up to go to the wholesale market for supplies.
While we were shopping, my mom exploited me as usual, but was incredibly generous to her own son. I didn't care at all. The harder she exploited me, the more miserable Li Guangsheng's future would be.
