Chapter 222 It Should Be Very Sweet
After all, this business deal included fruit.
Raymond chuckled. "Looks pretty good. Bet it's sweet."
"Of course, everyone loves these oranges."
They walked off into the distance.
John, trailing behind Raymond, kept quiet. Raymond wasn't a fan of this kind of fruit. Even in Silver Bay City, he only ate fruit flown in from abroad.
Selena was helping Erin push the small cart. As they neared home, Erin couldn't hold back any longer.
"Selena, since you know that big shot, did I embarrass you by having you help me push the cart just now?"
This small cart was so simple, just selling fruit. Megan always said she was too old to be out there embarrassing herself.
If Erin was making small money outside, Megan wouldn't even bring friends past her.
At this moment, Erin felt sorry for Selena.
"Nothing embarrassing about earning money with your own hands. He's not that kind of person."
Erin didn't say anything more.
The small cart twisted and turned into the alley. Before they even got to the door, Selena heard Jacob's voice from inside.
"Dad, I'm starving. Let's eat first and save some for Mom."
Then came Megan's voice. "Exactly, going out so late every day. We don't need that little bit of money, but she insists on going out and embarrassing herself. I'm too embarrassed to bring friends over in case they see her."
Erin and Selena stood outside, hearing every word clearly.
Erin, worried Selena would get upset, quickly shouted inside, "Brian, come out quickly, Selena's back."
Brian was still inside heating up the food. Hearing this, he quickly came out.
Jacob stiffened when he heard Selena was back, not daring to go out.
Megan just snorted, grabbed the utensils, and started eating by herself.
Brian wanted to help Erin unload the fruit from the small cart, so he said, "Selena, you go in first. We'll be done soon."
Selena walked in and saw the sofa was brand new. The old one must have been tossed out.
She looked at Jacob, frowning. "Did you change it?"
Where did Jacob get the money?
Jacob was a bit afraid of Selena, especially after embarrassing himself in front of her in Silver Bay City.
He didn't answer. When Brian came in, Selena continued to ask.
"Uncle, the old sofa was still usable. Why did you change it?"
Brian quickly replied, "Jacob wanted to change it, said it looked dirty. The new sofa is nice, cost five thousand dollars."
"Did Jacob buy it?"
"I bought it on credit. We have to pay it back later."
Because of the last incident, Brian's family didn't have a good relationship with the neighbors. They were often criticized when they went out.
Hearing this, Selena looked at Jacob with a stern face.
"You wanted to change it. Why didn't you pay for it yourself? Why make Uncle and Aunt buy it on credit?"
"Selena, why do you keep meddling in our family affairs?! I already wrote a self-criticism letter, what more do you want?"
The man thought that writing a self-criticism letter was enough to make up for his mistakes.
Brian and Erin quickly chimed in.
"Selena, as long as Jacob comes back, we just need to pay for the sofa. It's no big deal. Thanks for last time. Let's eat. I'll tidy up your room tonight."
As soon as the words were out, , Megan rolled her eyes.
"What do you mean her room? I need that room. I'm not sleeping with Jacob."
Her face full of disdain, it was clear the two hadn't completely reconciled.
Seeing the two of them made Selena feel annoyed. She didn't want to stay for dinner at all.
"Aunt, I've already booked a hotel. After driving for so long, my stomach doesn't feel well. I won't stay for dinner."
Erin and Brian quickly escorted her to the alley entrance.
Selena said, "You should have your own plans regarding Cousin and his wife. Save some money for your retirement. Don't do what you did last time. When this house gets demolished, buy a bigger one and live well."
Brian felt ashamed when he mentioned that incident. It was his moment of foolishness that made things awkward with the neighbors.
