Chapter 253 The Early-Death Fisherwoman in the Hong Kong Variety Show World - Passerby A 2

After the three of them got up, they left their room. Taking advantage of the fact that there were still few people in the communal kitchen and bathroom, Jiang's mother went to cook after taking care of her important life event, otherwise there would be a queue when there were more people. Jiang's father went back to his room to pack his things. The typhoon had passed and they were going to go out to sea to fish today, so they had to leave early.

After packing up, Jiang's mother made quite a few sesame seed cakes. Jiang Yue eats sesame seed cakes and porridge every morning. Jiang's mother will also go out to sell sesame seed cakes to earn some money to supplement the family income. After Jiang's father left, Jiang's mother finished making most of the sesame seed cakes and went out to set up her stall early. Grandma, brother and sister were all awake at home, and Xin Xin was the last to get up.

Jiang Jun and Jiang Juan are twins. They look somewhat alike and are both quite tall and thin. However, none of the family members are overweight. The children get along very well. When Jiang Yue got up, her older siblings rushed over to ask her if she was feeling unwell. They had been extremely worried about her during the days she was in a coma and even thought about their younger sister while they were at work.

"It's alright, you're all better!" Jiang Yue said, making a thumbs-up gesture. Her older sister, Jiang Juan, patted Jiang Yue's head and said, "That's good. You have to be more careful in the future."

After saying that, he took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yue: "Take this, go buy some good food today." After his sister gave her the dollar, her brother also gave Jiang Yue a dollar, both to help her buy some good food to nourish her body. An ice cream only costs 30 cents, and two dollars can buy a lot of things.

After Jiang Juan and her grandmother tidied up the house, they moved the table out. After the family had breakfast, the older siblings went to work, the grandmother cleaned the house, and Jiang Yue took her younger sister to school. When she came back, she looked at Xiangjiang now. The houses were old-fashioned, like a small county town, bustling with people.

When she got home, she found that her grandmother had already tidied up the house and gone out to chat with the neighbors. Jiang Yue had just recovered from her illness, so her grandmother told her to go back inside and rest for a while to recuperate and prevent any lingering health problems. This suited Jiang Yue perfectly, and she took the opportunity to bring out Bai Ze.

After explaining the current situation to Bai Ze, they didn't take out Bai Ze's body. Because there were people in the building, if a stranger suddenly appeared, everyone would know about it in a few minutes. After discussing it, the two decided to create a virtual mother and child.

Then, let Jiang Yue save Bai Ze's mother. Bai Ze is a wealthy businessman. When he learned that Jiang Yue had saved his mother, he came to her house to thank her. After seeing the house where Jiang Yue's family lived, he gave them a house and some money. This is quite reasonable, isn't it?

The plan didn't need to be too elaborate; just give an explanation to the outside world. Otherwise, things were very chaotic these days, with many thugs and gangsters. If someone suddenly became rich, they were likely to be targeted. After making the plan, Jiang Yue went out to play. She found a secluded place and released Bai Ze. Then she took out a dozen or so puppets, which became Bai Ze's team.

Bai Ze was placed into a special body. After waking up, Bai Ze changed himself into the appearance of a British person. Hong Kong had not yet returned to the motherland at this time, so it was more convenient for the British to do things. Bai Ze had a puppet follow Jiang Yue to protect Jiang Yue and her family, while he went to England to solve his identity problem first.

To prevent any unforeseen issues, she also needed to launder her money. Although the times were a bit outdated, she wasn't brainless. After seeing Bai Ze off, Jiang Yue wandered around the neighborhood and then chose a house nearby. The house was about 70 square meters, and the asking price was 250,000 yuan. Considering the location and the fact that it was a second-hand house, it was considered a cheap house.

No wonder no one can afford a house. Jiang Yue's family's combined monthly income is less than a thousand dollars, and that's with four people in the family earning money: Jiang Yue's father, mother, brother, and sister. An average family would only earn a few hundred dollars. Moreover, in Hong Kong now, there is unequal pay for equal work; foreigners earn more for the same job than Chinese.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue sighed. She decided to hurry up and send the gift package to the country after Bai Ze returned. Only when the country is strong will overseas Chinese not be bullied at will. After making a mental note of this, Jiang Yue went to find her mother. The pancakes were already sold out. Jiang Yue helped her mother pack up and then went home.

After returning home, Jiang's mother rested for a while. She had to go sell seafood after Jiang's father came back, otherwise it would become stale overnight and wouldn't fetch a good price. After staying at home for a while, Jiang Yue thought about her future. This girl had never been to school and didn't have any survival skills. What kind of job could she find in the future? She couldn't just stay at home all the time.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any good ideas. It's inconvenient to do anything. Even if I were to start my own business, I'd be too young. I thought I should just go to school. I'm 12 now, which is the right age to be in junior high school. I can learn all sorts of random things in school and have an excuse to use them later.

That evening, Jiang Yue went to the dock with her mother. Her mother didn't want her to go, fearing she might fall in again, but Jiang Yue eventually persuaded her and happily followed along.

When they arrived at the dock, Mr. Jiang had already returned, and the seafood had been sorted. Mr. Jiang planned to send the better quality seafood to the shops he usually sold it to, while Mrs. Jiang would take the less desirable seafood to the market to sell. It was better than eating it all themselves; every little bit of money they could earn was better than nothing.

Not long after arriving at the market, regular customers came over. After picking and choosing some items, Jiang's mother started weighing them. While Jiang's mother was still calculating the price, Jiang Yue gave the specific price: "Mommy, it's seven yuan and two jiao in total!"

Jiang's mother thought Jiang Yue was talking nonsense. She glanced at her and went to calculate it herself. Jiang Yue shrugged. This was normal. It would be strange if Jiang's mother believed it the first time. After Jiang's mother finished calculating, she glanced at Jiang Yue, but didn't say anything. Selling goods first was the right thing to do.

Jiang Yue calculated the numbers for the next few customers before her mother. Then, her mother was in charge of weighing and bagging the food, while Jiang Yue was in charge of collecting money and giving change. The two worked together much more efficiently than before. When no one bought the last bit, her mother put it away, intending to eat it herself at home.

On the way home, as expected, Jiang's mother asked Jiang Yue about arithmetic. Jiang Yue lied and said that she had learned to read by teaching her younger sister. Jiang's mother then tested Jiang Yue with a few more complicated questions, which Jiang Yue answered fluently. Jiang's mother gave Jiang Yue a complicated look. Jiang Yue knew what her mother was thinking, but she didn't say anything. It wasn't the right time yet.

It's not the parents' fault that Jiang Yue never went to school. When Jiang Yue was born, her family didn't have the means to send her to school. Xin Xin only started school last year when compulsory education began; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to afford it either. By then, Jiang Yue was already eleven years old. It wasn't suitable for her to attend primary school, and she couldn't keep up with the middle school curriculum, so she had to give up her studies.

After the mother and daughter returned home, everyone else in the family came back as well. Jiang Yue and her mother put their things away, washed their hands, and started eating. They didn't stop during the meal; they shared what had happened that day and gossiped about the neighbors.
