Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

Chapter 680: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

The days passed in an orderly manner, and the snack bar business of Song Xia's store became stable. After getting used to the busy life, it didn't seem so busy anymore.

Since her daughter Wei Zhu didn't want to travel, she paid to enroll her in a cram school. Although the effect of a cram school may not be as good as studying on her own, it is also good to go out for a walk instead of staying at home every day.

Every Sunday was the day when Weiden came to have a feast. Every time he came, he stuffed everything into his mouth like a refugee who had been hungry for months.

"Didn't you eat enough at school?" Wei Zhu asked worriedly.

Weiden didn't dare tell the truth, for he was afraid that his mother would reduce his living expenses again after he told the truth.

Song Xia knew it very well but just pretended not to know. If he wanted to have a relationship, he could have one. Being nice to Mo Ru was his own business, but it was impossible for him to get more money from her.

"Mom, can you make me some more pickles to take to school?" Wei Deng made the request cautiously. With pickles, he would only need one portion of rice and one portion of vegetables for his meals at school in the future, which would save him more living expenses.

Song Xia glared at him, because this son was the kind of person who would take advantage of others and act cute: "You bring so many vegetables over every week without paying for them or spending effort to cook them."

"Isn't this dormitory full of people? We live together every day, and it's not good for me to eat alone."

That's the truth, but Song Xia knew that most of what she did went into Mo Ru's stomach.

"Then make a few bottles of pickles this week and share them with your roommates."

"Aren't you going to make leek dumplings and braised pork?"

"No, it's a bother. Besides, aren't you eating? You come back every week now, and you still don't eat enough."

Wei Deng was anxious. Isn't this what Mo Ru loves to eat? He didn't want to not satisfy Mo Ru with any food, so he said coquettishly, "Mom, just make another one for me."

Wei Zhu knew how hard her mother worked every day, so she took the initiative to say, "Let me make it. Although it's not as good as mom's, it should be better than what your school makes."

Although Wei Deng was somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to accept it when he saw that his mother had no intention of taking action.

The food was brought back to school. The boys in the dormitory had no objection. The braised pork was delicious, and there were so many pickles! As for Mo Ru, he was a little dissatisfied.

"That's all for this week!"

Wei Deng coaxed her: "My mother is also tired every day. This braised pork is made by my sister, but I promise it tastes good too."

Mo Ru's eyes flashed: "Is your sister living with your mother now?"

"Well, my sister has resigned since last year."

Mo Ru bit her lip. She had questions in her heart but didn't know how to ask. She wanted to ask if Wei Deng's sister had also intervened in the Wei family's business. Although she and Wei Deng had not graduated yet and had no idea about their future, she just didn't want Wei Deng's sister to get a share of the pie. With such a good business, how much money would she have to share!

"Isn't your sister planning on going back to work?"

"She is taking the civil service exam."

Hearing this, Mo Ru finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he passed the civil service exam, he would definitely not accept Wei Deng’s mother’s business. But what if he failed?

"Is your sister sure?"

"I don't know, but my sister is very hardworking. My mom gives her three years, so there shouldn't be any problem." "Three years!" Mo Ru thought to himself, isn't that exactly the year when he and Wei Deng graduate?
"What if I fail the exam?"

"If you fail the exam, just find another job." Wei Deng said heartlessly. It should be said that he didn't know that his family was still running a business, otherwise he would have had other ideas in his mind.

"Your sister doesn't have a boyfriend."

"My mother told my sister to put marriage aside until she passed the civil service exam."

"Auntie is quite concerned about your sister's future. Has Auntie told you what to do in the future?"

"No." Weiden answered and became annoyed, because he had always told his mother that he performed very well in school and would definitely have a bright future, but judging from the current employment situation, the future did not seem very optimistic.

"Didn't Auntie tell you to inherit the family business?"

"Family business? What kind of family business does my family have? Why don't I take the civil service exam after I graduate? If I can't pass, I can join a state-owned enterprise or a central enterprise. The salary should be good, at least stable."

Wei Deng had no such plan before. It should be said that he had never thought about the future. It was only when he returned to his rented house on Sundays in the past few weeks and heard his sister talk about how to take the civil service exam and what the nature of his future work would be like that he began to think about it.

He majored in computer science, and although the current employment salaries for this major are very high, he knows that his professional ability is average and it is unlikely that he will be able to enter those large companies. Even if he did, he would not be able to bear the hardship of working overtime every day.

It would be better for him to directly take the exam for civil service or work in state-owned enterprises or central enterprises. Although the salary is not high, the benefits are good. The most important thing is, I heard from people on the Internet that as long as he passes the exam, he can slack off at work, which is perfect for him.

Mo Ru glanced at him and asked, "Can you pass the exam?"

She thought that if Wei Deng could really pass the exam, that would be great. He would have a stable job and she could help Wei Deng's mother run the snack bar in the future. Then she would have both money and reputation.

Weiden shrugged: "Let's try."

Mo Ru was very happy to hear Wei Deng's plan. Even though she brought fewer dishes this week, she was no longer angry.

But Mo Ru's roommates were a little upset. Why didn't Wei Deng bring them food these few times? I heard that the boys' dormitory had it every week.

Mo Ru naturally couldn't tell anyone about her previous perfunctory attitude towards Wei Deng, so she could only make an excuse that Wei Deng's mother was too busy and couldn't do much.

The girls in the dormitory thought the same thing. The business at the restaurant was so good, and they were not related to the restaurant, so why should they please the restaurant every time? But the food was really delicious, so they decided to go there one day to eat.

"Mo Ru, aren't you going?"

"I won't go. Weiden said his mother doesn't know we're in a relationship yet. It wouldn't be good if she recognized him when we meet in the future."

"That's fine."

In fact, Mo Ru wanted to go, but as she said, if she was recognized, wouldn't it be very embarrassing to meet in the future? At that time, Wei Deng's mother thought that she came to his store, so she could only bear it.

"When you go, don't mention Weiden. Just treat him as an ordinary diner."

"Don't worry, we're not big mouths, and they're so busy, how can they have time to talk to us?"

There were no classes on Tuesday afternoon, so three girls went together and found the place according to the address they saw online. They arrived before meal time, but they didn't expect the place to be full. According to the instructions online, each of them ordered a bowl of clay pot soup, and some staple foods such as fried rice and fried noodles.

As soon as the food was served, they started drooling at the smell. They only knew that the food Weiden brought every week was delicious, but they didn't expect that it would be even more delicious when it was hot, especially the soup, which was absolutely amazing! It seemed that Mo Ru had never tasted these soups before!
