Xu Sisi received ten dollars for the first time, her hands trembling with excitement as she grasped the money, "Sister Niannian, you are like my second parents."
Xu Niannian chuckled, amused by the silliness.
Now with living expenses covered, Xu Sisi blossomed with joy. After kissing the money fiercely, she said to Xu Niannian, "Sister Niannian, does your shop need help? I can come over on the weekends to work and pay off my debt."
Xu Niannian liked this type of character—there was no sense of entitlement.
She didn't spoil her but instead replied with a smile, "Sure, we are always short-staffed. Remember to come over and help out on the weekends."
"Alrighty."
Xu Sisi sent Xu Niannian off with a beaming smile, and then turned to plant several more kisses on the ten-dollar bill in her hand.
Oh, she finally felt wealthy, ten whole dollars, enough for a good while.
This was the joy of the once penniless Xu Sisi.
