Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

After changing her name, Yao Feiran went directly to Xu Lifang and said, "Auntie, can I call you Mom?"

Tears welled up in Xu Lifang's eyes instantly. She hugged Yao Feiran and said, "Of course you can."

Zhang Chengjing scratched his head anxiously behind him.

...He didn't want such a vicious sister.

After Yao Feiran moved in, Xu Lifang's financial pressure increased significantly. She now works in a factory, where the more she works, the more she earns, but the wages are not high.

Yao Feiran saw this and said, "Zhang Chengjing."

Zhang Chengjing asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I remember you received New Year's money."

Zhang Chengjing's maternal and paternal grandmothers would give him lucky money every year. Xu Lifang would take most of it and leave a few hundred for him, which he would hide. However, Yao Feiran saw it when she was tutoring him.

"Yes, what are you going to do?"

"Lend me the money, I need to buy something."

Zhang Chengjing's face twisted in disgust. Yao Feiran was too shameless and directly asked him for it: "I won't give it to you. My family is too poor. My mother still has to support you. We need to be more frugal."

"I'll pay you back double later."

I don't believe it.

Even after being rejected, Yao Feiran wasn't angry. She just kept nagging him. Zhang Chengjing couldn't stand it anymore, so he secretly took money from his books and gave it to her that night.

"Here you go, don't bother me again."

"Don't tell Mom."

"I understand, but you're not allowed to spend it recklessly."

During this period, Yao Feiran often took Zhang Chengjing for a walk around the surrounding university town to investigate the food stalls, the flow of people and their business. Then they went to the nearby vegetable market to find out the prices of some vegetables.

Over the weekend, Xu Lifang, who was busy with factory work and couldn't come back, gave them some money and ate downstairs.

Yao Feiran bought seasonings and various dishes, and of course, she dragged Zhang Chengjing along.

The market vendor chuckled and said, "You're all so thoughtful, helping your families buy groceries. Did you buy too much?"

"It's okay, my brother has a big appetite."

Zhang Chengjing: "..."

When Zhang Chengjing got home, he was exhausted.

"Feiran, what are you doing? There's way too much food. We can't finish it all."

"Don't lie there, the work isn't finished yet. Help me wash and chop the vegetables."

"..."

After a busy day, the simple cold dish was ready. Yao Feiran rented a food cart, and after much pleading, she finally got the other party to agree, only after hearing that it was a social practice activity for parents to help their children grow.

The dressing for the cold dish was the kind that's popular in other worlds. The two pushed the cart to the side of a road where there were already many stalls.

This area is a food street, and there are no stall fees.

A man making sesame seed cakes ahead of me asked curiously, "Little friends, where are your parents?"

"My mom is watching us from the front."

The man smiled but didn't say anything.

Yao Feiran laid out the price list and made another sample. Her quick and efficient work left Zhang Chengjing stunned.

This cold dish is sour and spicy, which is perfect for summer and very appetizing.

After a while, the students all came out, and Yao Feiran patted Zhang Chengjing on the shoulder.

"what?"

"Speak louder when you're selling cold dishes."

"I?"

"What else? Hurry up, or I won't have the money to pay you back if you don't sell them all."

Forced by the tyranny, Zhang Chengjing had no choice but to shout at the top of his lungs.

Out of curiosity, a college student approached Zhang Chengjing and asked, "Little friend, how old are you?"

"Auntie, I'm already ten years old."

Upon hearing the word "auntie," Zhang Yao, a female college student, turned green.

Yao Feiran quickly said, "Pretty sister, I'm doing social practice to train myself. You can try the taste."

Zhang Yao hadn't had much of an appetite, so she tried it. Her eyes lit up; the taste was sour and spicy, much better than she had imagined, and the price was clearly stated on the label.

"It's pretty good, I'll take some."

"Okay, sister, here's the basket."

Zhang Yao bought over twenty yuan worth of snacks, but her roommates snatched them all up when she went back, so she had to come back to buy more and also bring some for the other people in the dorm.

With a good start, it became easier to sell later. Zhang Chengjing also lent a hand, and he quickly became proficient.

Before long, all the cold dishes were sold out, and Zhang Chengjing became more and more enthusiastic. Yao Feiran counted the money and found it to be about 700 yuan. After deducting the cost, they made a net profit of more than 400 yuan.

Yao Feiran put the money away and prepared to return the stroller.

Cao Yi, the owner of the pancake stall, blocked their way.

"Kids, how do you make the seasonings for your cold dishes?"

"This is my mother's secret recipe; I can't tell anyone else."

Cao Yi scoffed, "It's nothing important. Your parents aren't even here, are they?"

"Uncle, there are surveillance cameras around here, don't do anything stupid."

Although it's late now, there are still quite a few people around the university.

Cao Yi's eyes were filled with ill intent, a desire to bully the weak, just as two tall and burly college students happened to pass by.

Yao Feiran tugged at their clothes: "Big brothers, can you take me to the station? My mom is working overtime, and we're scared."

Wang Xia and Liu Chengwei were taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "No problem."

Cao Yi was somewhat exasperated, but there was nothing he could do. His stall was dirty and the prices were unclear, so he had never had much business.

Wang Xia helped push the car, and after Yao Feiran switched cars, the two of them took them to the station.

Yao Feiran bought them two bottles of drinks, which they accepted with smiles.

Zhang Chengjing finally breathed a sigh of relief in the car. In fact, he had been living in fear all day, especially with Cao Yi's look in his eyes. He thought the other party was going to rob him.

The weak are the most vulnerable to being coveted when they have money, but Yao Feiran didn't care.

Back home, Zhang Chengjing couldn't hide his excitement: "Feiran, I saw you counting money the whole time. Did we make a lot of money?"

"Of course, after deducting costs, the net profit is over four hundred. This is your money, I'll pay you back first."

The main reason is that the seasoning recipe has a unique flavor, and it happens to be summer, so it's different from the local cold dishes, which makes it more novel for everyone from the start.

"Four hundred yuan! My mom's salary is only four thousand."

"You seem quite familiar with the house."

"Of course, when I was little, my mom took me with her to make it easier for her to take care of me, and I would just watch her work from the side."

Zhang Chengjing felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. His father had passed away early, so he didn't have a deep impression of him, but the happiest thing for him since childhood was his mother being with him.

Just then, the sound of the door opening came from outside. It was Xu Lifang. She saw two children sitting in the living room with a pile of loose change on the floor.

"What are you doing? Where did you get the money?"

"Mom, eat this."

Yao Feiran took out a cold dish from the refrigerator. Xu Lifang was hungry and tried a few bites. Her eyes showed surprise.

"It's pretty good. Did you guys buy it? How much did it cost? You didn't spend all your money on this, did you?"

"I did it myself. Mom has something to tell you, you can't scold us."

"What is it?"

"This is the money we earned from selling cold dishes at the food stalls at Zhuangcheng University."

"What?!" Xu Lifang's eyes widened suddenly: "You guys are too bold."

Yao Feiran handed over the notebook, which was filled with data.

"Mom, this is my cost for today. I sold for three hours and made a turnover of over 700. After deducting costs, I made a net profit of over 400."

"Where did you get the money?"

"Took it from my brother's private treasury."

Zhang Chengjing: "......."

"These cold dishes are so profitable."

"It's not about making money, it's just that it's summer, and the flavor is quite unique, so I thought Mom could give it a try."
