Chapter 190: Mingxia’s Cousin

Mingxia did not know that her little trick had been discovered, but she worked in the kitchen as usual.

Mingxia prepared breakfast, put it on the table, and waited for everyone to get up and eat.

Fang Ya walked out of the room and looked at Mingxia’s busy figure, but she had some suspicions in her heart.

Mingxia had come to the house recently. Although she had not acted out of line, she did seem odd.

Fang Ya did not know if Mingxia really had any secrets.

Fang Ya hesitated asking her about it.

Before she could open her mouth, Mingxia came up to her first.

“Sis, I have something to discuss with you.” Mingxia looked at Fang Ya, her eyes full of anticipation.

Fang Ya nodded and said to Mingxia, “Let’s talk inside.”

Mingxia obediently followed Fang Ya into the room.

Fang Ya sat down on the sofa and looked at Mingxia who was sitting opposite her. “What’s the matter? Speak.”

Mingxia bit her lower lip slightly and said, “It’s like this. A cousin of mine came to the city.”

“He, I, that…” Mingxia paused for a moment, not knowing how to continue.

Fang Ya looked at Mingxia’s obviously bashful expression and immediately realized what she was hesitating about.

“Cousin?” Fang ya looked at Mingxia with some amusement. “Just a cousin?”

Mingxia’s face turned slightly red. “Sister, don’t say that, it’s really just a cousin!”

“Alright, cousin, if you say so. What do you want me to do?” Fang Ya deliberately emphasized the word “cousin” before continuing to ask.

Mingxia’s face became even redder. “I’m hoping you help me introduce him to a job.”

Mingxia knew that her request was a little excessive, so she added, “He’s very honest and willing to do it. As long as there’s a job opportunity, he’s very smart and will learn it in one go!”

Fang Ya listened to Mingxia’s words. This was clearly how one would talk about their lover!

Fang Ya smiled as she looked at Mingxia. “Then bring him over. I’ll take a look first.”

Fang Ya suddenly felt like she was the matriarch of some family.

The servant girl in this house had a sweetheart, and she still had to take care of him.

Thinking of this, the smile on Fang Ya’s face deepened.

When Mingxia saw the smile on Fang Ya’s face, she knew that this matter was likely to conclude well, so she hurriedly ran out.

“Hey, where are you going?” Fang Ya asked when she saw Mingxia rushing out.

“He’s at the large woman’s house. I’ll go and call him over!” Mingxia smiled, her face full of excitement.

Fang Ya looked at Ming Xia’s back as she ran away, but a bitter smile appeared on her face.

“I’ll need to talk to that woman!” Fang Ya thought and sighed in her heart.

The large woman was a warm-hearted person. Not to mention relatives, she was warm toward even neighbors like Fang Ya, never expecting anything in return.

Although it was laudable, over time it would inevitably bring her some unnecessary trouble.

Fang Ya did not intend to deflate her enthusiasm to help others, but she still had to sound the alarm bell for her.

Fang Ya waited quietly in the room.

In less than five minutes, Mingxia had already run back with her “cousin”.

Looking at the not-so-fitting suit on her cousin, Fang Ya secretly thought that it was probably to see her, so he had worn the clothes of the large woman’s husband at the last minute.

Taking in his polite demeanor, Fang Ya was not too rough on him.

However, Fang Ya still needed to think carefully about whether she should and how to use this person.

“Why don’t you introduce yourself first? What do you know?” Fang Ya asked as she took in the silly-looking appearance.

Her cousin grinned, revealing his not-so-white teeth. “My name is He Kun. I’m from the same village as Mingxia. I went to school a few years ago, so I know how to write a few words.”

“Then what did you do before?” Fang Ya looked at He Kun and felt that his words seemed to be more organized than he looked.

He Kun thought for a moment and said, “I taught in the village for a few years. Later, all the children in the village went to school in the town, so I…” As He Kun spoke, he looked a little sad.

Fang Ya knew that a teacher like He Kun, who was born and raised in the countryside, did not have much savings or much of a portfolio.

To be able to use what little knowledge he had to teach the children in the village to read was already a noteworthy accomplishment.
