Money is a good thing. In her previous life, because she didn't have money to treat her illness early, her mother died of cancer.
Less than a month after her mother's death, her fathe...
moving
Jiang Zhizhi went to the book corner and exchanged three new books. After school, she went to Lin Qingyu to register.
"You read so fast?" Lin Qingyu couldn't help but be amazed. She thought she read very fast, but she didn't expect Jiang Zhizhi to be even faster than her.
As she registered Jiang Zhizhi, she said, "There aren't many books in our class's library corner. If you like reading, you can go to the library and get a library card. I'm going to the library tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
Jiang Zhizhi was suddenly enlightened by Lin Qingyu.
Yes, there is also a library.
She was about to say yes, but then she remembered that she had to go to Taekwondo training class tomorrow, so she said, "I won't go. Maybe next time."
Returning to her seat, Jiang Zhizhi felt very regretful. She could have taken this opportunity to make friends with Lin Qingyu.
But as an adult, she has learned to make the weights, and to her, mother, money, and safety are more important.
After school, Jiang Zhizhi went to the bookstore and bought an old book with an S-level reading value, a historical biography "The Records of the First Emperor".
She flipped through it before buying it, and it was like a story, the type that was easier to read.
When she returned home, Jiang Zhizhi saw the tricycle in the yard and knew that Cheng Yuping had returned.
But there was no smell of food coming from the room. She pushed the door open silently and saw Cheng Yuping doing something on the bed in the inner room. She walked over quietly. When she got closer, Cheng Yuping suddenly noticed her and was so scared that she dropped the things in her hands.
It turned out to be a bottle of iodine.
Cheng Yuping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Jiang Zhizhi. She quickly lowered her head to pick up the iodine. "Zhizhi, why didn't you make any noise when you came back? I scared you to death."
"Mom, where are you hurt?"
Jiang Zhizhi walked over and saw that a large piece of skin had been scraped off from Cheng Yuping's arm, with blood oozing out. It looked very scary.
"It's okay, I just accidentally fell when I came back." Cheng Yuping turned her face to the side, looking a little guilty.
But the more she hid, the more conspicuous she became. Jiang Zhizhi immediately noticed the red spot on her face, which was obviously caused by a slap.
Jiang Zhizhi's face darkened. "Did someone hit you?"
"No..." Cheng Yuping quickly covered her face.
Jiang Zhizhi felt a surge of anger rising to her head and asked angrily, "Is it Jiang Guozhong?"
"No, it's not your dad." Cheng Yuping quickly denied.
"Is it Feng Mei?"
Feng Mei is Jiang Guozhong's mistress outside. Jiang Zhizhi hates this woman so much that she feels sick when her name is mentioned.
In her previous life, she always pretended to be virtuous in front of outsiders, but was extremely mean to Jiang Zhizhi behind her back.
She still remembers the moment when Feng Mei forced her to wash her hair in a cold water pool in the middle of winter. The icy water seemed to wash away her scalp. Later, she struggled to wake up from nightmares many times. The coldness like a maggot in her tarsal bones accompanied her throughout her previous life.
Hearing Jiang Zhizhi mention this name, Cheng Yuping looked at her in surprise, "How do you know her name?"
"I saw them on the street earlier." Jiang Zhizhi made up an excuse.
Cheng Yuping felt very uncomfortable when she saw Jiang Zhizhi's extremely resistant and disgusted look. She hugged Jiang Zhizhi in her arms and said, "Zhizhi, don't worry. Mom will definitely cut off ties with them. We will live a good life from now on."
She felt that she was really sorry for her daughter. Other people's daughters were pampered and loved, but her daughter had to face this kind of thing at such a young age.
"Mom, if you're really determined, when the rent is due, let's move somewhere else and stay away from them."
Jiang Zhizhi decided to strike while the iron was hot and make things clear as soon as possible.
Only by completely staying away from Jiang Guozhong and Feng Mei can she and Cheng Yuping live a peaceful life, otherwise they will definitely come back to disrupt things in the future.
Cheng Yuping didn't expect that Jiang Zhizhi had thought so deeply, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
"It expires at the end of this month, so we'll move out next month."
Originally, Cheng Yuping was thinking of paying the rent for the next three months in the next two days, but now, there is no need to do so.
"Mom, you take a rest. I'll cook today."
Jiang Zhizhi said this and went to the kitchen.
Cheng Yuping looked at her amusedly and said, "I've taught you so many times before, but you still can't learn it. Let me do it."
"You'll get it after learning it a few more times. I feel like I've got the hang of it." Jiang Zhizhi smiled playfully, but felt a little sad in her heart.
In her previous life, she lived with Jiang Guozhong and Feng Mei for a long time, and she was the one who did all the housework. At the beginning, her cooking was not delicious, and she was scolded by Jiang Guozhong every day. Feng Mei taught her while secretly twisting and pinching her.
She cooked thousands of meals for Jiang Guozhong and Feng Mei, but never cooked a single meal for her own mother Cheng Yuping.
If she were to live her life again, she would make up for everything and let her mother live a good life in the future.
It all starts with this meal.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't cook anything difficult, she just made a bowl of clear soup noodles.
The noodles are handmade noodles that cost two yuan per pound on the street. A few small green vegetables are blanched and salt, light soy sauce, MSG, and thirteen spices are added. It is a simple pot of clear soup noodles, but the soup is rich and the fragrance fills the house, making people's appetites grow.
Cheng Yuping took a bite and looked at Jiang Zhizhi in surprise, "Zhizhi, when did you learn how to make noodle soup? Didn't I teach you before?"
Even she herself couldn't make it so delicious.
Jiang Zhizhi tasted the soup and was very satisfied. She smiled proudly and said, "This is called self-taught. I have decided to learn how to cook and make delicious food for you every day in the future."
"Silly child, your mother is here, how can I ask you to cook every day? You just need to study hard." Cheng Yuping gently stroked Jiang Zhizhi's head.
The gentle and loving words made Jiang Zhizhi burst into tears.
Yes, how could a mother bear to let her daughter be subservient and serve the whole family every day?
She worked as a free nanny in that family because she had no mother in her previous life.
But this time it was different, she was a child with a mother.
She loves her mother and her mother loves her deeply too.
"Zhizhi, why are you crying? Did Mom say something wrong?" Cheng Yuping felt that Jiang Zhizhi's mood had been a little strange these two days, and she felt more and more worried and distressed.
Jiang Zhizhi quickly wiped away her tears and smiled broadly at Cheng Yuping. "No, I just feel very lucky to have a mother. I will study hard. I will be admitted to No. 1 Middle School soon. I will definitely not let you down."
After dinner, Jiang Zhizhi lay on the small table in front of the bed to do her homework. She finished the unfinished Chinese and English homework. When she heard the reminder of the "100 yuan" reward, she breathed a sigh of relief and started to take out the "Records of the First Emperor" to read again.
Time passed little by little. From the beginning when Ying Zheng suffered humiliation and danger in Zhao State, she saw him return to Qin State and succeed to the throne of Qin, carry out drastic reforms, conquer the six kingdoms and unify the world. She was full of admiration for him in her heart.
In the past, Jiang Zhizhi only knew that Ying Zheng was a tyrant, but she didn't know that he had suffered so much, especially when he was in Zhao State, he suffered inhuman torture.
But Jiang Zhizhi knew that Ying Zheng did not need sympathy. He was so determined and persistent, moving forward for only one goal, unyielding and never regretting even if he died.
Just like herself now, she will not pity her past self, nor will she indulge in the sorrow of the past. She wants to go out and start a new life for herself.
She is equally determined and persistent!
When I finished reading the whole book, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. It was dark outside, with only a few dilapidated street lamps emitting a little dim light.
The darkness of the night was reflected in Jiang Zhizhi's pupils, which were deeper and colder than the night itself.
Suddenly, she said, "Mom, my pen is out of ink. Let me go out and buy a new one."
Small shops usually close at 10:30, so there should still be a few open now.
Cheng Yuping was keeping accounts in the inner room. She liked to keep accounts in a notebook, writing down the daily purchase money and profits. Watching the money grow little by little, she felt a special sense of accomplishment.
Hearing Jiang Zhizhi's voice, she hurried to look outside the room, but Jiang Zhizhi had already opened the door and ran out.
She looked out the dark window and felt strange.
Zhizhi has always been afraid of the dark and dares not go out at night. Why would she go out to buy things so late?
Jiang Zhizhi is no longer afraid of the dark.
She used to be afraid of many things, such as the dark, ghosts, cockroaches, mice, falling, and being beaten... But now she is not afraid of anything.
Everything she had experienced in her previous life had built an extremely solid wall in her originally fragile heart. Her small and fragile body stood on the wall, fearless.
Lujiang Village was originally a relatively remote urban village in Nanshi, but after the nearby No. 1 Middle School became the best middle school in Nanshi, Lujiang Village gradually developed and became the most prosperous village in Nanshi’s East New District. The rent here is much cheaper than in residential areas and apartments, and many rural people who come to Nanshi to work gather here.
The part of Lujiang Village next to Pingyang Avenue has been developed and is very lively, but the back rows are still deserted.
The villagers were waiting for the demolition, so even though their houses were dilapidated, they did not move out.
Feng Mei is from Lujiang Village. She was married once when she was young, but was kicked out of the house by her husband's family because of infidelity. She returned to the village. Because the incident was such a big deal at the time, no one came to matchmake for her. Feng Mei couldn't stand the loneliness and often had affairs with other men. Later, she somehow got together with Jiang Guozhong. Jiang Guozhong got her pregnant the first time. After having the child, Feng Mei became completely obsessed with Jiang Guozhong and asked him to pay for her and her family.
Jiang Guozhong also thought that he could make a lot of money when Feng Mei's house was demolished in the future, so he obeyed Feng Mei in everything. The two of them stayed together for several years and had two children.
Jiang Guozhong paid for the funeral of Feng Mei's father.
There are now four people in the Feng family: Feng Mei herself, Feng Mei's mother who is in her sixties, and Feng Mei and Jiang Guozhong's two children.
It was a dark and windy night. Jiang Zhizhi came to the door of the Feng family with a bucket of manure and a small knife in her pocket.
She had lived here for several years and was very familiar with everything here.
Jiang Zhizhi skillfully cut the Feng family's electrical wires, and in an instant, the house that was originally brightly lit became dark.
A man cursed from inside, and then a woman's voice said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Jiang Zhizhi had stabbed Jiang Guozhong before, so Jiang Guozhong must be having difficulty walking, so it was natural that Feng Mei would come out.
The moment Feng Mei came out, Jiang Zhizhi poured a bucket of manure on Feng Mei.
She didn't stop for a moment and ran away amid Feng Mei's screams.
After running out of several alleys, Jiang Zhizhi stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt happy when she thought of Feng Mei returning home covered in feces and not having electricity to boil water for a bath.
He had poured a bucket of water on Jiang Guozhong before, and now he poured another bucket on Feng Mei.
Jiang Zhizhi sneered in her heart, they were a perfect match, birds of a feather flock together!
