Chapter 9: I Never Want to See You Again

It's not that Wang Aijuan is afraid of Granny Chen, but she still needs something from Granny Chen, so she has to lower her posture.

Granny Chen gave Wang Aijuan a cold look and then turned to Su Ruanruan, saying, "Ruanruan, make sure to close the door later and don't let any random people into the yard, understand?"

Su Ruanruan obediently nodded, "I understand, Granny."

After Granny Chen had walked away, Wang Aijuan went to ask Su Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, don't misunderstand, I called for you for so long and you didn't open the door, that's why I got anxious. Later, help me explain to Granny Chen that I didn't do it on purpose. Ruanruan, why didn't you open the door just now? I've been calling for so long, my throat is about to catch fire. Go make me a bowl of sugar water—"

As Wang Aijuan spoke, she was about to walk past Su Ruanruan into the yard, but Su Ruanruan blocked her way.

"Ruanruan, what are you doing!?"

Wang Aijuan frowned, looking displeased at Su Ruanruan.

Whether it was an illusion or not, she felt that Su Ruanruan was acting strangely today.

There was no smile on Su Ruanruan's face, and her usually timid appearance now seemed somewhat cold.

"Haven't you heard what Granny said? She doesn't want me to let any random people into the yard!"

Wang Aijuan didn't have a good temper to begin with, and upon hearing this, she started to shout, "Ruanruan, what do you mean? How am I a random person? I'm your own sister!"

Su Ruanruan sneered, "My own sister who schemed against my food and job?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Aijuan's face showed a hint of panic.

Although she usually acted gentle in front of Su Ruanruan, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl, and it was impossible to completely conceal her emotions.

Seeing the panic on Wang Aijuan's face, Su Ruanruan changed her tone, "My granny said to give the temporary job opportunity to Sister Xiulan, and have the village head arrange a light job for me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Aijuan looked at Su Ruanruan as if she had seen a ghost, "Is your granny crazy?"

Why would she give the temporary job opportunity to Xiulan, that annoying girl?

Ignoring Wang Aijuan's fierce gaze, Su Ruanruan smiled brightly, "Sister Xiulan is kind-hearted, works hard, and is diligent. If she goes to the textile factory as a temporary worker, she will definitely be able to become a regular employee soon. By then, Sister Xiulan will be a regular worker."

"My granny gave such a big favor to Sister Xiulan just to have the village head arrange a light job for me, and the village head will definitely agree. Then I can stay in the village with my granny, earn work points, isn't this a win-win situation?"

"Besides, didn't you say you couldn't bear to see me working alone at the textile factory? I also can't bear to see you go. In the future, we can both stay in the village and see each other every day, isn't that good?"

At this moment, Wang Aijuan couldn't hear what Su Ruanruan was saying anymore. Her mind was filled with the fact that the temporary job opportunity had been given to Xiulan.

Seeing Su Ruanruan's bright smile, Wang Aijuan wanted to scratch her face.

Without the temporary job opportunity, wouldn't she have to work in the fields?

After studying for so many years, how could she become a peasant digging in the dirt?

Wang Aijuan took a step forward and grabbed Su Ruanruan's arm, "Ruanruan! Ruanruan! Go talk to the village head and get the temporary job opportunity back, okay?"

Su Ruanruan put away her smile, "No. Didn't you say you didn't want to work as a temporary worker, and that you couldn't bear to see me go? Now we don't have to work as temporary workers, why are you suddenly unwilling? Did you lie to me before? Not letting me work as a temporary worker, is it for you to go instead? You liar! I never want to see you again!"
