For the next two days, the food at home was still not good, but Hu Xiaoman ate a bowl of noodles every other day.

While eating white noodles, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

After dinner that night, Hu Xiaoman took the initiative to stay and talk.

Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, Hu Qinghai asked, "Xiaoman, if you have something to say, just tell me. What's the matter?"

He felt very weak these two days and wanted to sleep after eating.

Hu Xiaoman nodded and said, "Dad, I won't take my salary next month. Go to the black market and buy some food and bring it back."

In any case, they have been performing very well recently, so it is definitely impossible for them to spend their original capital.

Therefore, it is also possible to exchange the money originally handed over for food.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunxia even stopped clearing her dishes. "What do you mean by buying food? You? You can actually buy food! Can anyone go to the black market? You little brat, you got robbed and you have no place to complain!"

He was clearly worried that she would be robbed by bad guys, but when he spoke, it turned into a curse.

Hu Xiaoman frowned slightly. She knew that this person was kind, but she still felt uncomfortable hearing these words.

"Mom, what's wrong with me using money to exchange for food when there is no food at home?" She really couldn't understand why Zhang Chunxia couldn't speak properly?

It's as if saying something nice will make you lose a piece of flesh.

Zhang Chunxia rolled her eyes when she heard that. "Just be quiet. We have food at home, so you don't need to go out and buy it. Just give me the money when the month comes. Don't make decisions on your own."

This time Hu Xiaoman didn't care and took his kindness as an insult!

Watching her leave, Hu Qinghai sighed, "Your broken mouth, can't you just talk properly?"

After a lifetime together, he knows very well what kind of person his wife is.

There are many people in the family, and before we split up the family, we were just worried about wages and food.

It’s the same now that we’ve split up. The three of us are still picky when we eat.

However, Hu Qinghai also understood Zhang Chunxia's thoughts. She was just afraid of hunger in her early years, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

Zhang Chunxia didn't say anything and went to the kitchen outside with the dishes.

The eldest son and the third son's wife were both in the kitchen, washing dishes and cleaning up.

"Mom, do you have cornmeal at home? Can you lend me ten pounds?" Tian Xinhua walked over with a smile and asked humbly.

Zhang Chunxia didn't even turn around and said angrily, "No! You're still eating after seeing what's happening!"

Tian Xinhua was speechless and didn't dare to curse.

No, forget it!

Who doesn't know that her mother-in-law is stingy? She must have food at home, so she doesn't want to borrow.

She saw me cooking noodles for Hu Xiaoman every few days these past two days.

This sister-in-law is usually very quiet, but I didn't expect that she could make the old lady bleed. It's really strange.

Du Fang, who was standing next to her, saw that she was at a disadvantage, but didn't say anything.

She knew her mother-in-law very well, and even if she had food, she would not share it with everyone.

I saw this before the family split up. They wouldn’t eat the food even if it had grown mold. How could we possibly give it to them?

So, she simply kept silent and let Tian Xinhua take the scolding.

Hu Xiaoman could clearly hear the conversation in the kitchen from the bedroom, but there was nothing he could do because the distance was too close.

But that's how my sister-in-law is. Even if she gets scolded today, she will ask again next time.

If she gives the answer once out of ten times, she will make a profit.

This is what the original owner remembers, and it is also what Tian Xinhua said himself.

I have to say that the Hu family is full of talented people.

I had a good rest at night and didn’t review again today.

Hu Xiaoman has an exam tomorrow morning, so he deliberately switched shifts with others for a day.

Although she was only taking the high school entrance exam, she was still a little nervous because she hadn't been to school for several years.

If I fail the exam, it would be really embarrassing.

The next morning, Hu Xiaoman cooked two eggs for himself, ate two buns and a fried dough stick, hoping that he could get a perfect score.

Just kidding.

In fact, she just wanted to eat these, it had nothing to do with the score, after all, she didn't get a thousand points.

The exam was held at Chuncheng High School, which was the only high school here and not very crowded.

In this day and age, people still believe that knowledge can change one's destiny. However, some people don't have that talent, and most start working after graduating from elementary school.

Some people can't even read and have never been to school.

There were only twenty people taking the exam this time, and they were arranged in one classroom.

Hu Xiaoman followed everyone into the classroom and had no intention of looking at others.

Now she only cares about getting good grades and hopes that the exam will not be too difficult.

I don’t know if God heard her prayers, but the questions this time were all very simple.

At least she thought it was simple.

However, seeing that everyone around him was scratching their heads, Hu Xiaoman felt a bit like Versailles.

The exam lasted until twelve noon and all subjects were finished.

Except for a twenty-minute break, the rest of the time is spent on the exam.

After the meeting, Hu Xiaoman walked out of the school with ease.

All the time studying was not in vain. She had a feeling that she would definitely pass the exam this time. As for how many points she would get, she didn't know.

Seeing that it was still early, Hu Xiaoman went straight to the tailor shop.

After handing the cloth over to the seller and having the size measured, I paid the money and got the bill.

It’s two dollars in total, including the cost of sewing.

I have to say it is quite cost-effective. The money spent on buying fabric and making clothes is much more suitable than buying ready-made clothes.

When I got home in the afternoon, there was no one in the house. Everyone had gone to work or school at that time.

Zhang Chunxia was not at home either. No one knew where she had gone.

Hu Xiaoman took a look and went straight back to the bedroom.

As usual, I locked the door and entered the space.

After entering, she found something wrong. Some things were missing in the space.

No way?

She looked carefully and found that something was indeed missing.

She had sorted and put things away before for convenience, but now some of them were empty, and it was obvious that they were gone.

Hu Xiaoman was surprised and a little nervous for a moment. Could it be that someone else could come into this space?

Thinking of this, she felt more and more panicked.

If this is true, will it be fatal? After all, who would be willing to share such a good thing with others?

She won't anyway.

There was no point in thinking so much now. I picked up the glass bottle next to me for self-defense and started walking inside step by step.

But after wandering around for half an hour, I walked through the entire space and didn't see anyone.

Did she remember it wrong?

Impossible, she still knows what's hers.

Hu Xiaoman felt uneasy. He didn't know why, but he felt that he was not mistaken and something must be missing.

After returning to the apartment, she looked around carefully. Nothing was missing, but there was an express box on the table.

I took a look at the packing list and found that it was indeed the shampoo products I ordered two days ago.

But she still didn't understand why the things outside were missing.

If I don’t figure this out today, I’ll probably have to go out to sleep tonight.
