A month is eighty yuan, a year is 960 yuan!
In the past, they could only earn a bit more than 200 yuan a year, and now it has increased nearly fivefold!
Seeing how happy her parents were, Wu Yanyun was also very happy.
What made her happy was that she could finally go to school.
Her parents no longer had to worry about making a living in the future.
For a poor family, education is the best way out. Once she got into university, she would lead her family to a better life!
Yan Erju turned her head to look at Wu Yanyun and said with a smile, "Xiaoyun, the fortune teller in our village was right after all, you are the auspicious star reincarnated from heaven, capable of bringing good fortune to our family!"
Wu Yanyun replied, "Mom, that’s all superstition. I think we really ought to thank Yangyang. If not for her, you and Dad wouldn’t have found such a good job."
Neither Wu Jinshu nor Yan Erju could read, and Wu Jinshu had a disability, which meant that no shop would normally hire them.
Yan Erju nodded her head, "You’re right, we should thank Yangyang properly. Speaking of which, Yangyang is really capable too, owning several storefronts and even becoming a boss at such a young age. She looks only around seventeen or eighteen. By the way, Xiaoyun, how did you meet Yangyang?"
Wu Yanyun answered, "Yangyang and Xiaoyu are classmates and good friends, I met her through Xiaoyu."
"Oh, I see."
Just then, Grandma Wu walked in from outside, carrying two strips of pork in her hand, "Erju, take this meat and stir-fry it for the kids to ease their cravings."
Yan Erju exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, where did you get this meat from?"
At that time, pork fat was 2 yuan per jin, and the two strips of meat that Grandma Wu had were at least three to four jin, which was worth seven to eight yuan. The Wu Family was so poor that even money was scarce – where could Grandma Wu get the money from?
Grandma Wu replied, "Of course I bought it. What, you think I stole it?"
