Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 209: You’re So Biased

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: You’re So Biased
Her BBQ stall mainly sells grilled skewers and grilled fish, while at the spicy food stall, spicy shrimp tends to attract more customers.
"That won’t work, it’s really your business. How about this, let’s put the spicy shrimp at the spicy food stall from now on, and I’ll sell it for you."
Lin Xiang casually put a cucumber in her mouth and chewed, "Both the fish and shrimp are caught by Dong Sheng from the river. It’s not strictly my business, so there’s no need to separate it so clearly."
Fifth Uncle still wanted to speak, but Lin Xiang was already being pulled into the main room by Chunya.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Lin Xiang took a bite of the cucumber, "If it involves meeting your crush, then you’ve found the wrong person."
Chunya was surprised that Lin Xiang had guessed her intentions so quickly, "How did you know?"
Of course, Lin Xiang wouldn’t tell Chunya, "I want to go out" was already printed on her brain.
Seeing Lin Xiang remain silent, Chunya shook Lin Xiang’s arm, "Sister Niu, I know you are the best. You’ll definitely help me, right?"
"I’m not good at all." Lin Xiang used her other hand to forcefully take Chunya’s hand off, "Fifth Uncle has already told me about that person’s situation. Losing his parents is not something to criticize, but aside from the poverty, he has younger siblings to support. Do you know what situation you will face if you marry him?"
Chunya shook her head.
"If you marry him and have your own children, he won’t fully dedicate himself to you and the kids. His energy will inevitably be divided between his siblings. From his perspective, this is what he, as the eldest, is supposed to do, but from his partner’s perspective, he would place his own family behind his larger family."
"If there’s no conflict, it’s easy to say, just bear with it and get through it. But once there’s a dispute, the person most likely to be abandoned would be his partner and child."
Indeed, he currently cares for Chunya, but the responsibility of being the eldest will forever bind him, forcing him to think more about his siblings.
Lin Xiang didn’t aim to criticize this behavior, she just didn’t want her cousin to be deeply trapped in such a predicament.
Clearly, Chunya could choose better.
Chunya bowed her head, unsure of what she was pondering. After a while, she finally asked Lin Xiang, "If I prevent him from prioritizing his siblings and have him focus on us first, would that not work?"
After a brief silence, Lin Xiang sighed heavily, "First, you need to ensure he listens to you. The worst is if he agrees superficially, but secretly compensates them, and if you discover it, you’d feel cheated, and your marital relationship would be fractured."
"Moreover, if he can be easily swayed, disregarding his siblings, do you think he would be reliable?"
Also, Lin Xiang’s analysis just considered this person to be inherently good, but burdened by his upbringing.
If he had other intentions, Chunya would have a life full of hardship once married.
However, Chunya seemed to embrace her romantic notions, despite Lin Xiang’s thorough analysis, she hadn’t realized the severity of the issue.
"These are just your guesses, Sister Niu. Maybe you’re just worrying too much? I don’t believe my luck is so bad that I keep meeting unideal people."
Lin Xiang: "..."
Big sister, choosing a marriage partner requires a comprehensive assessment; bad luck alone cannot substitute for decision-making!
Seeing Chunya adamant in her thoughts, Lin Xiang decided not to meddle, "Anyway, I cannot help you. If you want to be with him, go try convincing your parents."
If she helped, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt might resent her, and if Chunya ended up unhappy, she would definitely despise her.
Realizing Lin Xiang’s stance was immovable, Chunya left, feeling frustrated.
Around three o’clock, Dong Sheng returned.
"Keeping everyone’s hopes alive, all the popsicles are sold out today!"
Dong Sheng drank two large bowls of water in succession and emptied all the money he earned into Lin Xiang’s hands, "Sister Niu, here’s the money I earned from selling popsicles over the past two days, it’s yours to keep."
Lin Xiang took out thirteen yuan, "This is the money I helped you upfront for the cost. What’s left is what you’ve earned yourself; you can either give it to your parents or keep it for yourself."
Dong Sheng, holding the money, went to find Fifth Aunt.
After excluding the thirteen yuan cost, Dong Sheng only had a little over three yuan left; Fifth Aunt didn’t accept it, "You still need to go buy popsicles this afternoon. Without some capital, it’s not going to work. As for the money you earn later, give the bulk to me and I’ll save it, keep the change for your own pocket money."
Dong Sheng smiled widely, "Mom, I can help the family earn money too! We’ll save the money I make selling popsicles this summer, and build a new house when it gets cold!"
"Alright." Fifth Aunt didn’t dampen Dong Sheng’s enthusiasm, "If our new house gets built, I can proudly tell people it’s our Dong Sheng who built it."
Chunya, sitting beside feeling dissatisfied, "Clearly I’m helping the family too, but why do you only praise Dong Sheng?"
Yes, she didn’t brave the sun going to the residential area to sell popsicles, but ever since starting the spicy powder business, she’s been going to the stalls before sunrise every day; except for the stew base, which Fifth Aunt personally handled, and the cart pulling being done by Fifth Uncle, she didn’t slack on any other work.
"You’re the elder sister, you..."
"Just because I’m the sister, I can’t be praised? Is being the sister and working just expected? You’re too biased!"
Chunya stormed off angrily.
Fifth Aunt sighed twice, but Chunya didn’t respond at all, went directly to Mrs. Lin’s room, and slammed the door shut.
Fifth Aunt looked embarrassed, "This child, nineteen years old already, still throwing a tantrum like a little kid?"
Mrs. Lin spoke sharply, "Because your heart is biased."
"Sister-in-law, I’m not..."
"Chunya is right, the spicy powder business is always her and you doing it together, she hasn’t shied away from any work. When she followed you to the major markets before dawn every day, what was Dong Sheng doing? Climbing trees to find eggs with the village kids, diving to catch fish."
"These days Dong Sheng sold popsicles, worked hard, and earned money, but Chunya hasn’t been idle either. Just because she’s the sister, does it mean doing these tasks are expected? Out of the money earned from selling spicy powder, at least one-third is from Chunya!"
Every time after returning from the market, feeling sympathetic for her parents, Chunya would cook for the family.
Even if she was exhausted herself, she never complained.
Just because she never complained, what she did was taken for granted.
