After finishing the delivery, my mom went to work at the hotel, and I rode my tricycle to a luxurious apartment in the city center. Lu Yuan was already waiting there.
"Help me find some contract phones that come with loans," I said.
Lu Yuan frowned, "Aren't you just deceiving people?"
I scoffed lightly, "I'm helping them achieve financial freedom; how can that be called deception?"
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment before nodding, "Alright, I'll help you find them."
"Do you know Paternity Testing Agency?"
"What's up?"
I looked at my rough, cracked hands and said, "I suspect that I'm not my mom's biological daughter."
That evening, Lu Yuan and I sat in front of a stall. Lu Yuan scanned the payment code with his phone while I took out my phone and replaced the stall's payment code with my own.
Before long, my phone received a voice notification—"Your savings card ending in 1314 has received an interbank transfer of 2000 yuan."
This was the first time in five years that I heard my phone announce an incoming payment. I was so moved that tears filled my eyes.
When we closed up for the night and returned home, my mom rushed to greet me as soon as I walked in.
"Jingwen, how much did you sell today?"
I pulled out my phone and displayed the payment code, "Over 500 yuan."
My mom paused for a moment, "Wasn't it over 1000 yuan yesterday? How come it's only over 500 today?"
I sighed and said, "Mom, I saw several stalls selling things in the night market today. The night market is already saturated. If you set up a stall, I won't be able to make any money."
As soon as my mom heard this, she immediately dropped the idea of setting up a stall and continued to ask me, "What about your resignation?"
I took out the prepared response: "Mom, I contacted a friend who sells phones. He agreed to let me display phones at my stall, and for every phone sold, I can earn a commission of five hundred."
"Really?" my mom asked suspiciously. "Those phones must be pretty expensive, right?"
I smiled and replied, "Not expensive at all, just two thousand."
"What?" my mom exclaimed. "Two thousand isn't expensive?"
I nodded and explained, "Mom, think about it. For each phone, I earn five hundred. If I sell ten phones in a month, that's five thousand. Our rent is only one thousand five, which is enough to cover three months' rent."
My mom hesitated. Seizing the opportunity, I took out the phone that Lu Yuan helped me get: "Mom, what do you think of this phone?"
When my mom saw the phone in my hand, her eyes lit up as she snatched it from me: "Li Jingwen, have you gotten bold? How dare you spend so much on a new phone?"
She held the phone tightly and played with it lovingly: "You child, how can you be so thoughtless? My phone is broken, and I was just planning to buy a new one. You let me use this phone for a few days."
Haha, I knew she would react this way.
"Mom, this phone belongs to someone else. They gave it to me during the night market event today."
My mom's expression immediately darkened:
"Li Jingwen, you've gotten quite bold, haven't you? You have something nice and you're not thinking about your mom. Do you want to keep it all to yourself?"
I pretended to be troubled: "Mom, that's not what I meant. I..."
My mom rolled her eyes and suddenly put on a pitiful expression:
"Jingwen, I'm useless. I can only let you suffer. I'm also worried about your brother; he has his college entrance exams coming up soon. I want him to relax a bit. Just think of it as doing it for your brother and let me have the phone, okay?"
I scoffed inwardly but pretended to be reluctant on the outside. After hesitating for a long time, I finally nodded "helplessly."
