Chapter 796: 232 Shameless, stubborn but honest Yin Xueyang_2

After getting back into the car, Baijie’s heart also felt a bit stirred. If she could work, earning a little extra money would be good, and at her cousin’s milk tea shop, she wouldn’t have to worry about any scheming activities.

A lot of issues and troubles were avoidable, which inevitably stirred Baijie’s heart.

“No, Xiao Yan…”

Holding a milk tea warmed up Baijie’s cold heart.

“Your cousin might not come home at noon, but he expects me to cook in the morning and evening. If I work, it’ll be discovered.”

“That’s easy, sister-in-law, you can start work at ten in the morning and finish at three in the afternoon. Just consider it a part-time job.”

Creating a part-time position in the milk tea shop was simple.

“In that case, alright, Xiao Yan, paying sister-in-law a thousand a month is fine.”

Zhiyan felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

“No, sister-in-law, that’s too little. I’ll give you three thousand a month.”

“No need, Xiao Yan, you earned your money through hard work. A thousand a month is already enough for sister-in-law.”

“After all, sister-in-law earns so little from picking up trash daily, right?”

Zhiyan gently held Baijie’s hand and said, “Then, sister-in-law, make it two thousand. It can’t be less.”

“Any less wouldn’t be right. I’m not giving you extra money; my milk tea shop already pays more than others.”

After much refusal from Baijie and Zhiyan’s persistence, she finally agreed.

“Then, sister-in-law won’t take any salary for the first month.”

“Just consider it money for your clothes.”

Every time she recalled the incident of spilling water on her clothes, Baijie felt guilty, knowing she would have inevitably gotten hit if she was out with Zhang Wu.

Looking at a small, old bruise on her hand.

Zhiyan asked with concern, “Sister-in-law, does Zhang Wu often hit you?”

Zhiyan despised Zhang Wu. He knew better than anyone how gentle Baijie was—though uneducated and only skilled in farming—the woman was beautiful and had a good temper.

Yet Zhang Wu always hit her.

“It’s all in the past…”

“He hasn’t hit me for a long time.”

Speaking of this, Baijie felt a bit oppressed. Zhang Wu had threatened to beat her eventually, and she knew that day wasn’t far.

But she didn’t want Zhiyan to know.

Baijie didn’t want to show her vulnerability in front of Zhiyan and worry him.

“Xiao Yan, take sister-in-law home.”

“It’s getting late, and Zhang Wu will be home soon. I need to cook.”

Zhiyan started the car and set off.

On the way, Zhiyan asked a question Baijie had never considered before.

“Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about getting a divorce?”

Zhiyan knew that if he didn’t bring it up, his sister-in-law might never consider or think about it.

But mentioning it might give her ideas…

After all, she must have faced many grievances over the years.

“Divorce? Educated people get divorces, sister-in-law is just a rural woman.”

“Uneducated and incapable of much.”

“With two sons, I surely couldn’t remarry if I got divorced.”

“And the family wouldn’t agree. He and I were childhood sweethearts, the whole village knows.”

“If sister-in-law got divorced, I wouldn’t be able to marry again for life.”

Zhiyan smiled and said, “No worries, sister-in-law, you could marry me in the future.”

His words brought a moment of silence to the Porsche, only the sound of their voices echoing.

Baijie’s fair face quickly turned a rosy shade.

What was this kid talking about?

“Xiao Yan, stop talking nonsense, I’m your cousin’s wife, and also twenty years older.”

Zhiyan smiled and said, “Actually, Zhang Wu and I aren’t blood relatives, just distant cousins by rural standards.”

“If you don’t want to call me that, you’re not my cousin’s wife.”

“And if you divorce, you’re not my cousin’s wife anymore, you’re just Sister Ding.”

“There’s nothing wrong with being with an unrelated sister.”

Baijie’s face grew redder, having never known what romantic love was.

Additionally, due to Zhang Wu’s volatile temper and fighting nature,

no one had ever gotten close to her; this was the first time Baijie was confessed to.

“Xiao Yan, stop it…”

“I’m over twenty years older than you.”

“Besides, I’m poor with nothing to offer, how could we be together? Sister-in-law watched you grow up, I even used to feed you when you were little.”

Despite saying this, Baijie’s heartbeat was growing faster.

“That’s the perfect reason for me to repay you. The kindness you showed me as a child, I must repay physically now; it’s only right.”

“Plus, this is a provincial capital, a big city. I like women over forty. Forty is when a woman is at her most mature and charming.”

“It’d be perfect for us to be together.”

Seeing Baijie getting bashful and somewhat uncontrollable,

Zhiyan knew it was enough.

“Ha-ha, I was just joking, sister-in-law. Even if we were together, we’d have to wait until you’re divorced, right? We can’t do anything immoral.”

Zhiyan knew that with a relationship like his with his sister-in-law, truly crossing lines was impossible since it dealt with ethical issues.
