Natural disasters were incessant. Ning Xia had survived alone for six years and finally decided to return to her old home in Qianzhou to start anew. Unexpectedly, she rescued two skinny little ones...
The house was renovated for more than ten days, and Ningxia needed to make decisions on many things. Unfortunately, she knew nothing about this and was confused most of the time. Just when she was secretly cursing someone for the thousandth time, Mo Guanshan finally came back.
"Ningning, did you miss me?"
Ningxia avoided his pounce and tried hard to control the expression on her face. How many days has this guy not taken a shower?
Mo Guanshan's expression changed, full of hurt, "You despise me? I'm working hard outside to support my family and I can't even bear to spend money on a bath, and you actually despise me?"
Talking about Ningxia makes me angry. "How dare you say that! Look at your home and see if there's any place to stay! You want to eat yourself into a fat man in one go! Why don't you tear it down and rebuild it?"
Mo Guanshan smiled awkwardly, "Isn't that... wanting to give you the best?"
"roll."
"I'm so hungry, Ningning, I don't even have money to buy food..."
Ningxia rolled her eyes and said, "Go take a shower, I'll give you my bottom."
Mo Guanshan immediately smiled and said, "Okay!"
This time he wasn't pretending to be pitiful; he was truly broke! He'd spent tens of thousands of points to get running water and electricity at home.
He also chose good building materials and hired an official construction team, so the wages were not cheap.
His allowances for the past two years, bonuses for completing missions, and the employment subsidy from Chocobo, all added up to almost 120,000 points, with not a single point left.
After the meeting at the shelter, he rushed back. After leaving the shelter, there was no place to eat or drink. He couldn't even afford the bus fare, so he walked back!
When he was hungry, he would go to the mountains to get something and roast it. When he came across water, he would wash his body. God knows how he survived these days!
He didn't dare let others know that he had no money. The talent who graduated from the provincial military academy that Chocobo had spent a lot of effort to recruit didn't have any points. That was ridiculous. It was okay to laugh at him, but he couldn't accept laughing at Ningning for finding a poor man who was not worthy of her!
Ningxia saw that he was wolfing down his food without pretending to be eating. He couldn't hide the fatigue on his face. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you busy with work? So tired? You don't even have time to eat?"
Mo Guanshan blinked innocently. "Like I said, I'm broke and walked back. Ningning, I'll have to rely on you to support me until I officially start working."
Ningxia was incredulous, "Have you used up all your points?" She didn't know how much money Mo Guanshan had, and she had never asked, but it must be a lot.
Mo Guanshan swallowed the last mouthful of noodles, picked up the steamed bun and took a big bite, "Well, more than 110,000 or 120,000, it's all spent."
Ningxia jumped up and asked, "How much?" His voice was full of disbelief.
Mo Guanshan paused chewing, "What...what happened? I didn't waste it..."
Ningxia sat down with a look of dejection. Tens of thousands of points would be enough for her, Sangsang and Lin Yi to eat in their lifetime. But this money-spending thing ate all of it in one trip.
"I have less than a thousand points in my account. I have a card with 6,000 points at home, which I used to pay for Qingtian's surgery. Lieyangyue's food has not been exchanged yet!" Ningxia said almost gritting her teeth.
This guy said that she was not in a hurry to prepare these things because she had so much money that she couldn't count it. What's going on now? Has everything gone back to the time before liberation?
Who would have thought that the Ning family, the local tyrant with a high-level Chocobo background, couldn't even provide food for the next season!
Mo Guanshan smiled, "Don't worry about that. I already ordered everything I needed at the trade center before even finding the construction team! I asked them to deliver it later, otherwise, if they didn't finish repairing it at home, they wouldn't have anywhere to put it. I went there with my work ID, so I got a 30% discount!"
Seeing his smug look, Ningxia wanted to kick him, "Should I praise you?"
Mo Guanshan quickly shook his head, "No, no!"
"What did you buy at the trading post?"
Mo Guanshan carefully observed Ningxia's expression and counted the items one by one, "Radio, TV, refrigerator, clothes, shoes, grain and oil..."
Seeing the anger in Ningxia's eyes growing bigger and bigger, Mo Guanshan simply shut up, took out a list from his shirt pocket and handed it over.
Ningxia grimaced as she watched. Sangsang and Lin Yi each bought five pairs of shoes! She bought ten! It was fine for her, but did he think Sangsang and Lin Yi wouldn't grow old?!
The more she looked at it, the angrier she got. This guy! He even bought a swing set! A large one! She really wanted to ask him if Maomao had kicked him in the head!
"You..." Ningxia took a deep breath, "Do you know that our biogas power generation can't even keep the lights on for long?"
Mo Guanshan nodded, then shook his head.
"Then tell me, why did you buy a refrigerator and a TV? Just to make them look nice and look wealthy, right?"
"It's okay. I also bought two solar panels. Let me tell you, these refrigerators and TVs were all developed by Chuya. They are completely different from the previous ones. If I didn't have a work permit..."
Mo Guanshan's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. There was nothing he could do. It seemed that his Ningning was really about to transform into a lioness. "I can't buy it yet..." He said the last sentence silently.
Ningxia slapped the list on the table. Before she could say anything, she noticed there were words on the back. She gave it a fake smile, picked it up and continued looking at it.
"Mo Guanshan!"
"Ah?" Mo Guanshan was terrified.
"Are you crazy? A 1.5-meter-tall Tyrannosaurus Rex toy car! A 1.8-meter-tall Mantis Swordsman model? They're all custom-made! Do you want me to kill you?"
Mo Guanshan is really innocent. There is no trading point yet. He bought the custom-made ones with the help of others in the shelter. Not to mention, the two big things are displayed at the trading point. He even took a special look at them when he came back. How domineering!
"Well... Lin Yi and Little Curly like them... but we don't have any toys like them at home, so I was thinking..."
In fact, the main reason was that the side house was a little far from the main house, and Mo Guanshan renovated it with the intention of driving the two kids over there.
But the little curly-haired girl had been telling him several times that she wanted to come back and sleep with Xia Xia. He was worried that the little girl would refuse to move, so he prepared a bribe for her in advance.
As for the Mantis Swordsman, Lin Yi was his beloved disciple! He couldn't even be bothered to wash the little swordsman doll Ning Ning had sewn onto his clothes.
Moreover, this kid has privately called him brother-in-law several times. As his brother-in-law, shouldn’t he arrange a domineering one right away?
I just didn't expect that the money was so extravagant. He was alone before, and he didn't even bother to touch the points even when they were rotting in his account. Now that he has to support a family, he realizes how extravagant they are!
The fire in Ningxia's eyes seemed to have substance. It was the first time she had seen such a wasteful thing.
Mo Guanshan smiled ingratiatingly, "Ningning, don't be angry. My salary is high! It's just that I can't get it yet..."
In fact, if he was willing to go to the military camp to attend classes, the money would come in like a whirlwind. But he didn't want to. He just wanted to stay at home with Ningning, even sitting there and daydreaming.
