Chapter 22: Wealth at Last
Old Mrs. Mo couldn’t help but glare at her youngest daughter-in-law upon hearing her speak.
This time, however, Yafen unexpectedly stood her ground, directly stopping Old Mrs. Mo and Mo Meina with a calm smile.
Seeing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile slightly, and then left with her mother and the others.
"Mom, why are you stopping grandma?"
Mo Meina felt her mother had been acting strangely lately, always siding with Yiyi and the others, and she didn’t quite understand why. But seeing her mother’s deep gaze, she couldn’t continue speaking.
Yafen glanced at her daughter indifferently, finally looking deeply at Yiyi’s retreating figure, her expression unfathomable.
Meanwhile, Yiyi and the others headed directly into town. They went to the bank first, and after Yiyi opened an account in Yue Jun’s name and deposited four thousand five hundred yuan, the group headed straight to the food factory.
Liu Xiu Feng had already arranged everything with the people at the factory, so Yiyi and the others entered together.
"You must be Mo Xiaohong, from now on, you’ll be a worker in the first workshop. I’ll show you around the environment later, in about a week, you’ll likely be able to start working directly." The person leading them was a short, middle-aged woman who seemed pretty familiar with Liu Xiu Feng. Despite the somewhat large group of people coming over, she didn’t say much.
Yiyi glanced at the workshop environment, then at the actions of the workers around them, slightly furrowing her brow.
Although the workshop environment of the factory was quite good, seeing the workers working swiftly, it was evident the work intensity was significant. If her sister came here, she would probably be very tired.
Finding a moment, Yiyi spoke to Mo Xiaohong about this matter.
They had just sold an orchid for five thousand yuan, and in the future, if she went to dig up more flowers to sell, she would definitely make more money. With capital, they could start a small business, so Mo Xiaohong didn’t need to work so hard.
However, upon hearing this, Mo Xiaohong replied with a smile, "Yiyi, earning money is never easy. Besides, I think the food factory is great, if there’s a chance to become a permanent employee someday, that would be even better. I want this job; I never earned money on my own before, and now that I have this opportunity, I don’t want to give it up."
Ever since getting divorced from Jiang Huirong, Mo Xiaohong had thought a lot.
Now that she had this opportunity, she didn’t want to let it go. Moreover, if they started a small business, what if they lost money? Then Yiyi’s hard-earned money would be wasted, and she couldn’t let that happen.
Seeing the determination in Mo Xiaohong’s eyes, Yiyi didn’t say more.
The most important thing about doing something is whether one wants to or not. Since Mo Xiaohong wanted this job, she should receive support.
"Now you can relax. Although Xiao Hong will have a hard time working at the food factory, she will have a stable job, and your lives will definitely get better and better." Liu Xiu Feng said with a smile from the side, then looked at Yiyi and said, "Your sister will stay today, so let’s head back together."
Mo Shan had been following behind Mo Xiaohong all along, and upon hearing this, she said somewhat reluctantly, "Mom, does this mean I won’t see you anymore?" Even though she was only five years old, she understood what needed to be understood.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Mo Xiaohong was full of reluctance too. She finally squatted down and looked her daughter in the eyes, saying, "Shanshan will stay with grandma, and mom will come to see you every week, so we can still meet. But you must be good, and never do anything to upset grandma and aunt."
"Shanshan is always very good, so don’t worry."
Yue Jun quickly added upon hearing this.
Mo Xiaohong was completely at ease with Yue Jun, so after touching her daughter’s head, despite the reluctance, she waved to everyone.
Yiyi held Mo Shan’s hand, repeatedly reminding, "Sister, you must also take care of yourself, and don’t wear yourself out."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaohong nodded with a smile.
After Yiyi and the group left the food factory, Liu Xiu Feng glanced at Yiyi and asked, "Are you still attending school?"

"Yes, Yiyi is still in school, so she certainly won’t go to work."
Yue Jun quickly replied, thinking Liu Xiu Feng might want to introduce a job to Yiyi.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu Feng nodded and said, "Since you’re still studying, keep at it. Getting a diploma means you can get better jobs. Mo Xiaohong only graduated elementary school, so she can only find a worker job. If she had graduated high school, she could get an office job."
Thinking about this, Liu Xiu Feng shook her head. Studying involves many factors, including family support and personal intellect, so she chose not to say much, only expressing her initial intention, "If you come across another orchid, let me know, I’ll offer a good price."
There happened to be buyers interested in orchids recently, so she could earn some money while she was at it. Furthermore, this sort of money was much easier than introducing jobs to people. Just like when she bought the Suxin Duanlan from Mo Yiyi, she spent five thousand yuan and sold it for six thousand yuan, making a thousand yuan in profit.
Don’t say she was being greedy, after all, without her, Mo Yiyi wouldn’t have been able to sell the orchid for such a high price in the small place of Houshan Town.
Upon hearing Liu Xiu Feng’s words, Yiyi genuinely felt a bit grateful.
In this day and age, five thousand yuan is quite a lot. Even though Liu Xiu Feng made a decent profit herself, the price she offered was fair, so Yiyi didn’t refuse and directly nodded, saying, "Okay, if I come across another rare orchid, I’ll definitely let you know, Sister Liu."
"Great."
Seeing Yiyi agree so readily, Liu Xiu Feng felt pleased as well.
"Are you planning to go back to Luwei Village now?"
Yiyi directly shook her head with a smile and said, "No, we plan to stroll around town first and head back later." Now that they had money, of course they wanted to take Shanshan around for a walk, buy some things before heading back.
Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, Liu Xiu Feng chuckled, then waved and said, "Alright, take your time, I’ll head back first."
After Liu Xiu Feng left, Yiyi looked at Yue Jun with a smile and said, "Mom, let’s go to the market first, I want to buy some flour and eggs to make egg pancakes, I miss your egg pancakes."
Previously, she could only eat egg pancakes during the New Year and only a little bit, but now when she thinks of it, she really wants to eat them.
Seeing her daughter’s mouth-watering expression, Yue Jun couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Alright, let’s head to the market now. Besides those two things, we can also buy some others and get some fabric to make new clothes for you and Shanshan."
"Great, mom’s the best."
Mo Shan on the side was also full of joy. Ever since she moved in with her grandmother, the days have been increasingly better.
