Chapter 2: Want To Get Back Her Salary

Oh, couldn't sleep, probably due to the anxiety of figuring out how to use her to gain money, right?

Gu Ling sat in the room without moving. Sun Xiulan shouted, "Ling Ling, Mingxin is here; come out!"

Yu Mingxin is not bad-looking, with decent features, but he wasn't very tall, just under 1.8 meters. He stood in the courtyard of the Gu family with great anticipation.

Sure enough, Gu Ling opened the door of the room and stepped out. Her lustrous black hair and fair complexion, with eyes like a spring lake, added a touch of radiance to the originally shabby house!

The two of them had met twice in private. Yu Mingxin intended to get in touch again and increase their feelings!

Gu Ling didn't pay any attention to him. She, instead, looked to the loving Sun Xiulan and said, "My bike is so broken that it's beyond repair; that's why I fell today. These trousers have been torn several times; now there's simply no way to sew them again. So, give me all the one hundred and eighty-seven dollars of my salary that I deposited with you before. I want to go and buy a new bike, and then give me two more cloth tickets, and I'll go and buy a new pair of trousers."

Because Yu Mingxin had come, the neighbors nearby poked their heads in to see what was going on. Sun Xiulan's face turned red upon hearing Gu Ling's request in front of Yu Mingxin and the neighbors, and she began to feel suspicious!

Gu Ling never dared to speak to her directly like this before. What's wrong today?

But she couldn't cry in front of Yu Mingxin, could she? Her reputation as a good stepmother, which she had managed to build up with great difficulty, couldn't be spoiled.The bicycle had to be bought, and the pants had to be bought!

Sun Xiulan immediately laughed and said, ''Aiyo, Ling Ling, Mom knows. You're finally willing to get a new bike! That bicycle was left to you by your biological mother, and you can't bear to replace it. You keep riding that old one. I've said several times that it's time for a new one. And the pants too; you're so young, yet you're so attached to the old. I've mentioned many times that I want to buy new pants for you, but you've been refusing. Well, you go out with Mingxin and have a chat. You can discuss the bicycle and the new pants. I'll take care of it for you! "

This way, the neighbors who were watching, as well as Yu Mingxin, would surely think that Sun Xiulan was still a good stepmother. After all, she had taken care of her stepdaughter's needs. The bicycle and new pants had been promised, hadn't they?

But Gu Ling just smiled and said, "I knew you were different from other stepmothers. When you asked for my wages before, you said you'd give them to me anytime I needed them, and I just handed them over to you honestly. I believe that you will never find any excuses to withhold my salary. After all, Gu Ya manages her own salary, and just last week, she bought a new dress. So now, please give me the money and tickets. It's perfect; I'm going to go shopping with Yu Mingxin, and he can help me pick some items."

After she finished, she also laughed at the onlooking Yu Mingxin and a few neighbors. "This stepmother of mine is different from other stepmothers. She never uses any excuses to keep my wages. She gives it when she gives it and doesn't when she doesn't, right?"

Sun Xiulan gritted her teeth. If she hadn't thought that after Gu Ling married into the Yu family, they could get several hundred just from the betrothal gifts, she would never have agreed to hand over the one hundred and eighty dollars today!

In the end, Sun Xiulan reluctantly handed over the money and coupons. She even put on a loving mother's facade, saying, "Ling Ling, go ahead. As long as our Ling Ling is happy, that's better than anything!"
