My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

The reason why Kawasaki Taishi was able to afford tutoring classes was entirely because Takayanagi Ichiro had received an advance payment of his salary, which was enough to support Kawasaki Taishi's tutoring.

However, Kawasaki Taishi was still quite wary of Takayanagi Ichiro, so after listening to the lesson, he urged Kawasaki Saki to come to the convenience store to check on the situation.

Saki Kawasaki didn't intend to stop her younger brother; she believed that once he saw the truth, their work would go more smoothly.

When the two arrived, they saw Mrs. Kawasaki busy inside the shop while Kyoka Kawasaki was playing outside. Taishi Kawasaki visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, upon seeing Takayanagi Ichiro's sudden appearance, Kawasaki Taishi refrained from going out to greet his sister, instead hiding in the shadows with his older sister, Kawasaki Saki, to observe.

Chapter 676 Brother, you're being a bit rude.

Subsequently, siblings Saki Kawasaki and Taishi Kawasaki witnessed the friendly exchange between Kyoka Kawasaki and Ichiro Takayanagi.

The siblings had never seen Kawasaki Kyoka so happy at home before.

This proves that Kyoka Kawasaki truly likes Ichiro Takayanagi, and that Ichiro Takayanagi isn't particularly impatient with this adorable girl, Kyoka Kawasaki.

Kawasaki Kyoka basically stayed in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms the whole time, even when Kawasaki's mother came out.

Saki Kawasaki and Taishi Kawasaki, the siblings, didn't disturb them. The three of them went inside the shop to check out the layout and environment.

"Dazhi, do you believe me now?"

Kawasaki Saki asked her younger brother this question because, after learning about Kawasaki Saki and her mother's jobs, Kawasaki Taishi always had a question in his mind: why would such good things happen to Kawasaki Saki and her mother?

You should know that Kawasaki Saki used to work part-time, and often until late at night. Kawasaki Taishi and his mother would call the police to look for Kawasaki Saki very late at night.

But now, Kawasaki Saki and Kawasaki's mother can easily manage a convenience store. Kawasaki Taishi even learned through Kawasaki Kyoka's story that the person who hired them was a very handsome man.

Furthermore, the fact that he could arbitrarily increase his mother's salary, and that he could bring his sister here to do temporary part-time work, shows that Takayanagi Ichiro is a very wealthy person.

The sudden display of such kindness from a handsome and wealthy man to Kawasaki Saki and her mother immediately made Kawasaki Taishi nervous.

Because whatever thoughts that man might have about his mother or his sister, it was something he wouldn't allow.

So after registering at the cram school today, Kawasaki Taishi didn't go straight home. Instead, he asked his sister to bring him to the convenience store to check on things.

If he could meet Takayanagi Ichiro, he would like to see what kind of person Takayanagi Ichiro really is.

That's why when Kawasaki Taishi and his sister saw Takayanagi Ichiro, they hid to the side to observe, and the result was very satisfying.

Kawasaki Saki was also a little smug, because she could tell that Takayanagi Ichiro really just wanted someone to help watch the convenience store.

Although during the interview, the adorable Kawasaki Kyoka mentioned that she wanted Takayanagi Ichiro and Kawasaki Saki to date, and if that didn't work out, she suggested that Kawasaki's mother could take over.

However, neither Takayanagi Ichiro nor Kawasaki Saki showed any particular reaction to him or his mother, which means that Takayanagi Ichiro is not that kind of person.

Therefore, Kawasaki Saki felt no pressure regarding her younger brother's suspicions and directly brought Kawasaki Taishi here to confirm.

It just so happens that I encountered Ichiro Takayanagi and Kyoka Kawasaki, as well as a scene of Kawasaki's mother getting along harmoniously.

This scene made Saki Kawasaki want to save it, because her father died a little too early, and her adorable mother, Saki Kawasaki, never received any fatherly love.

Being by Takayanagi Ichiro's side might make up for that feeling, but unfortunately she couldn't say it out loud, otherwise her younger brother Kawasaki Taishi would definitely object.

"Sister, maybe he knew we were around, which is why he's sitting like this."

I won't have any issues with him this time, but I'll come here to visit from time to time.

If he does anything wrong, I will make sure you leave this place.

Kawasaki Taishi is the only male in his family, and although he is only a junior high school student, he wants to protect his older sister and mother.

It's perfectly normal for him to be hostile towards a high-quality man like Takayanagi Ichiro, and Kawasaki Saki didn't correct him on that point.

"Dazhi, our family's finances have improved a lot because of this job, so you must keep up with your studies."

Otherwise, Mom might have some complaints, and if she's not in a good mood, it could potentially cause problems at work.

Kawasaki Saki gave instructions to her younger brother, but she herself didn't have much to consider.

She had previously considered going out to work after graduating from high school to ease the burden on her family.

Now that they have been hired by Ichiro Takayanagi, their family's financial crisis has been temporarily resolved.

However, Saki Kawasaki still didn't want to go to a university that cost a lot of money. She decided to find a more suitable university and then spend the rest of her time helping her mother manage the convenience store.

The two of them discussed it and concluded that if the convenience store were managed properly, its business would definitely improve significantly, and the wages that Takayanagi Ichiro could pay would certainly not be the current amount.

Takayanagi Ichiro is definitely not a stingy person; if they do a good job, they will definitely be rewarded.

"Sister, I know."

Although Kawasaki Saki mentioned when she took him to register today that the money for registration was saved from her previous part-time jobs.

However, Kawasaki Taishi also understood that it was definitely because of Takayanagi Ichiro that his sister took out the money she had saved up to spend.

Kawasaki Taishi made a vow in his heart: he would definitely get into a good high school, then a good university, and after graduation, he would repay the money to Takayanagi Ichiro.

Of course, it's best to keep this vow to yourself for now.

If I were to say it out loud, even my older sister might have some objections.

"Alright, let's go home."

Logically speaking, Saki Kawasaki should go to the convenience store to help out.

However, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go over and greet Takayanagi Ichiro today since she brought her younger brother along; she should go home first.

"Okay."

............

Kawasaki Taishi, the only male in his family, should have been very happy that his mother and sister had come home together.

But now he was frowning deeply, because Takayanagi Ichiro had also returned with Kawasaki's mother and Kawasaki Kyoka.

Kawasaki's mother opened the door and led the way, while Kawasaki Kyoka continued to snuggle in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms. It was just like a family of three returning home from get off work.

Although Ichiro Takayanagi looks a bit too young, his temperament and that of Kawasaki's mother complement each other perfectly.

Even outsiders would see that they are a family of three.

"Brother, it's one thing if you don't greet me and Mom, but why don't you greet your older brother?"

The little cutie nestled in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms immediately launched into a profound question to her brother, while Kawasaki's mother's gaze also fell on Kawasaki Taishi.

Chapter 677 Mrs. Kawasaki's eyes welled up with tears.

Although the family faced some financial difficulties after the death of the male head of the household.

The eldest daughter, Saki Kawasaki, had no choice but to take on part-time jobs to supplement the family income, but Mrs. Kawasaki never stopped educating her children on moral character.

She considered all three of her children to be excellent, but she never expected that her son's attitude would change so drastically today, especially when her benefactor, Takayanagi Ichiro, came to visit.

Yes, Ichiro Takayanagi gave Mrs. Kawasaki a stable and high-paying job, and also allowed Saki Kawasaki to do high-profit part-time work there, so Ichiro Takayanagi can be considered a benefactor of this family.

Today, after touring the convenience store, Ichiro Takayanagi highly praised Mrs. Kawasaki and Saki Kawasaki's work.

Moreover, they were given a great deal of power, allowing them to make many decisions independently without having to consult with Takayanagi Ichiro.

After doing all this, Takayanagi Ichiro originally wanted to go home, but he was stopped by Kawasaki Kyoka in his arms.

Kawasaki Kyoka wanted Takayanagi Ichiro to come to their home as a guest, but since the last interview was conducted outside, he didn't have a chance to thank Takayanagi Ichiro.

Now that we've met Takayanagi Ichiro, we should definitely invite him to our home, or at least have a meal with him.

Mrs. Kawasaki agreed with her daughter's wish and brought Takayanagi Ichiro home, where she encountered her son's less-than-friendly attitude.

"Mrs. Kawasaki, I can easily understand his feelings."

After all, he's the only boy in the family, so he definitely has to protect his older sister, mother, and younger sister.

Before Mrs. Kawasaki could question her son, Ichiro Takayanagi was the first to stop her.

It's perfectly normal for a middle school student like Taishi Kawasaki to be wary of a strange man entering his home.

The commotion at the door made Kawasaki Saki come out of the kitchen. She was wearing an apron and her face was a little sweaty, indicating that she had worked hard in the kitchen.

“Dazhi, you must not be rude to Mr. Gaoliu.”

Kawasaki Saki hadn't expected her mother and sister to invite Takayanagi Ichiro to their home, so she didn't try to reason with her younger brother when she got back.

It seems my younger brother didn't welcome me when I was in the kitchen.

"Sister, I insisted on bringing my older brother to our home today because he has helped us so much."

But it seems like my brother isn't very welcoming to me. Why don't we go out to eat together and leave him home alone?

Upon seeing his older sister, Kawasaki Saki, come out, Kawasaki Kyoka immediately felt he had someone to rely on and went straight to complain to Kawasaki Saki.

Even so, Kawasaki Kyoka had no intention of falling out of Takayanagi Ichiro's arms, because it was a very comfortable experience.

If Ichiro Takayanagi could continue living in this house and only give her this kind of experience, that would be the best.

Kawasaki Kyoka's words almost labeled Kawasaki Taishi as a sinner, so Kawasaki Taishi quickly turned around to explain to Kawasaki Saki, but Mrs. Kawasaki interrupted him.

"Dazhi, you're a middle school student now. You should be growing up. Don't be fooled by superficial information."

Mrs. Kawasaki had her own set of parenting methods. She did not beat or scold her children, but instead educated them by reasoning with them.

Furthermore, Ichiro Takayanagi just expressed his understanding of Taishi Kawasaki's attitude, which is one of the reasons why Mrs. Kawasaki was willing to speak gently at this time.

"Jinghua, you take care of your older brother now. I'll finish cooking the rest of the dishes in the kitchen so we can eat."

Kawasaki Saki certainly wouldn't dare let Kawasaki Taishi greet Takayanagi Ichiro, lest something unpleasant happen again.

So Kyoka Kawasaki was sent to greet Ichiro Takayanagi, since the two of them seemed to have a much better relationship.

"Sister, I understand. I will definitely complete the mission."

Kawasaki Kyoka was very happy. Being able to receive a task assigned by her older sister at such a young age made her feel valued.

Mrs. Kawasaki went to change her clothes, while Saki Kawasaki called Taishi Kawasaki into the kitchen to help.

"Dazhi, didn't you say you were fine when we were at the convenience store?"

Why do you treat Mr. Takayanagi like this when he comes to visit?

Kawasaki Saki was also a little angry; her younger brother seemed not to have grasped the situation.
