What Zhang Cuiying didn't consider was that at that time, Zhao Tiezhu didn't pay her, but he would pay for whatever she spent on groceries every month.
Plus, we raised two chickens at that time, which could lay an egg every day, so the expense in this area was almost nothing.
But now the chickens are old and can't lay as many eggs as before. In addition, the weather is cold, so the egg-laying rate has slowed down. Of course, the most important thing is that when Zhang Cuiying is around, she can still have an egg every now and then.
It doesn't make sense to live with her son now, as she can't even guarantee this, so she also eats an egg every day. The couple eats eggs much faster than the chicken lays eggs.
The monthly egg coupons are not enough, she has to go out to buy eggs, plus meat, the monthly expenses just for these two items are not a small number.
Zhang Cuiying didn't notice it at first. Since she had no money, she would just go to the cabinet to get some. Seeing that there were not many eggs at home today, she thought of going to check early in the morning tomorrow.
As a result, no matter how she took out the money, she couldn't touch it, which shocked her.
"Where's the money?" Zhang Cuizhen was so anxious that her eyes were wide open. "Zhao Liang, have you seen my money?"
After a day's work, Zhao Liang was so tired that he lay down. Even though he had been doing blacksmithing for so long, he still couldn't adapt to it. It was really too hard.
Even if he wanted to change to an easier job, even if the salary was lower, no one would change jobs with him.
The work is hard, but the food at home is really indescribable. It can't even be compared with the food the old man used to have.
If he hadn't been thinking about calming down Zhang Cuizhen, he would have cursed her a long time ago. Now he really regretted it and was annoyed why he had to think about returning to the capital on impulse.
Life in the northwest was tough, with frequent sandstorms, and his colleagues' attitude toward him was also different. Although he was a leader, he was just a laborer, and no matter how hard the work was, it was not hard every day.
And most importantly, he is the deputy director, and his salary is based on this position. His monthly income is much higher than it is now, and he can always improve his food several times a month.
You can exchange meat with fellow villagers around. I heard that life in the northwest is not easy, but it is better than life in Beijing.
Zhao Liang was lying on the kang, reminiscing about his days in the northwest. When he heard Zhang Cuiying say that they had no money, a spark of anger rose in his heart.
"Mom, how can there be no money?"
"There are only two of us at home now." Not to mention that Zhao Qiang has opened a door for himself and never passes by here, and since Zhao Jianguo and his family went to the southwest, Zhao Qiang and his wife basically seldom come back.
Every time they came back, Zhao Liang would be on guard, fearing that they would brainwash Zhang Cuiying. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for them to take money from his home.
"I really have no money." Zhang Cuiying was anxious. "I really have no money. I put all my money here. I want to buy eggs and meat tomorrow."
Today there was only one dish of cabbage vermicelli. Zhang Cuiying saw that Zhao Liang didn't like it, and she felt very upset. She thought about improving the food, but she was screwed because she had no money.
"I didn't take the money." Zhao Liang said this as he slowly sat up. He had no choice as he was worried that any big movement would waste his energy.
"I'm not saying you took the money." Zhang Cuiying didn't believe that Zhao Liang would take the money, but the money was gone.
