CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57: TREATING ASTHMA 3

"Alrighty!" Sun Li agreed cheerfully, although there was only a few pounds of white flour left at home, and only half a pound of meat. If they ate it now, they’d be drinking vegetable soup for the New Year. But how could they not celebrate with a stew since Nianyang scored full marks? It’s such a monumental joyous occasion!

Jiang Tian swallowed her saliva greedily, "Great, we can have dumplings now. I haven’t had dumplings for a whole year; I’ve almost forgotten how they taste!"

Hearing this, Nianyang felt quite sad. With a thought, two hundred yuan appeared in her hand, "Uncle, Aunt, take this two hundred yuan and use it!"

To avoid suspicion, she didn’t dare to take out too much. Two hundred yuan was enough to solve the current predicament of the Jiang Family. Once she finds a way to separate from the Gu Family, she plans to help the Jiang Family become prosperous and let Uncle and Aunt live a good life!

Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li were stunned when they suddenly saw Nianyang take out two hundred yuan.

"Two hundred yuan, Yangyang, where did you get it from?" Jiang Tian jumped up in fright. Oh my, the most money she’d seen growing up was ten yuan; two hundred felt like living in a dream to her.

Nianyang already had an excuse ready, "A few days ago, I went to town and happened to help an elderly person cure their rheumatism. This is the gratitude fee they gave me."

Jiang Tian’s mouth formed an ’O’ shape, "You just cured someone’s rheumatism, and it’s worth two hundred yuan? That’s our family’s annual living expenses!"

Nianyang felt a little sweaty, even though she knew money in this era was very valuable. Hearing Jiang Tian say two hundred yuan could last them a year still surprised her. In modern times, two hundred yuan wouldn’t even cover a day’s pocket money!

Jiang Aiguo snapped out of his shock, and with a serious face said to Nianyang, "Yangyang, you quickly put the money away; we can’t take your money!"

Sun Li said, "Yes, we’re the adults. How can we take money from a kid? Besides, you still have to attend high school and university. Your mom probably won’t give you money, so you need to save it yourself. Your uncle and I will work hard to earn money and support you through university!"

Nianyang didn’t expect that the Jiang Family, despite knowing they had no blood relation and were just relatives in name, would actually want to support her through university. She was deeply moved and even more determined to help improve their lives.

"Uncle, Aunt, I understand your intentions, but I’m not short on money. Plus, if I need to, I can earn more by treating people. This two hundred yuan is my way of honoring you. If you don’t take it, I won’t be happy!" Nianyang pouted playfully. She still had two thousand three hundred in her space, and if it wouldn’t scare them, she would want to take out more.

Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li still insisted on refusing. Even though the household was indeed so poor they couldn’t make ends meet and owed a lot of debt, and Jiang Tian’s tuition for next semester was not yet secured, this two hundred yuan was life-saving money for them. But they knew that Nianyang had it even tougher. Money doesn’t grow on trees, after all!

"Uncle, Aunt, you can refuse this money, but you have to think about Tian-jie. Look at how thin she is, she’s almost out of shape. How will she nourish her body if she doesn’t eat better? Also, I noticed Tian-jie’s clothes are full of holes. She’s already a young lady; she needs some decent clothes, doesn’t she?" Nianyang said, forcibly stuffing the two hundred yuan into Sun Li’s hand.

"Ah, you child, it should be us giving you money. You’re making us feel uneasy and guilty!" Jiang Aiguo sighed continuously, but his heart was warm. He truly hadn’t doted on this niece for nothing!

"Yangyang..." Sun Li clutched the money in her hand, not knowing what to say for a moment. This child, Yangyang, was increasingly sensible and competent. Not only could she earn so much money on her own, but she also selflessly supported them like this.

In the future, she must treat her better and provide all the motherly love she missed in the Gu Family.

Jiang Tian spoke up crisply, "Yangyang, thank you. When I start making money, I’ll definitely buy you lots of new clothes and plenty of meat to eat."
