Chapter 3 A Fight Caused by Fifty Dollars
Shi Qingqing's face appeared on it.
Then there was a "click" sound and a white light flashed by. Before Shi Qingqing could react, her face with a stunned and confused expression was photographed.
Cannot retake.
[The Haihuo Mall avatar is bound, the host Shi Qingqing's identity authentication is successful, unlocking the function redemption, storage, and task submission. ]
[Remember! The host cannot share mall matters, otherwise the qualification to use will be cancelled. ]
At the same time, a box appeared in front of him.
There is another small red dot embedded in the upper right corner.
"Is this the newcomer's treasure chest?" Shi Qingqing poked it, and a crackling sound of gold coins was heard, the volume comparable to the decibel of an alarm clock in the dead of night.
She turned her head sharply.
Outside the door, Zhao Fengnian was still sitting on a stool, fiddling with something, and didn't even look here.
So only she could hear the sound of the gold coins falling to the ground.
Shi Qingqing closed the page. Now was not the time to explore slowly.
But... in that dream that felt like half my life, I didn't have this thing.
Why is that?
Suddenly, Shi Qingqing squatted down and looked at the hole in the table, and the shell was gone.
She picked them up when she and Zhao Fengnian were hitchhiking on the Gold Coast on a date before they got married. She glued the other shells into a box, but this one with a strange shape was left and could not be glued together.
So, it’s because of this shell?
The neighbors next door seemed to have started cooking as well. They liked to use a kind of oil with a very strange smell when cooking. It smelled quite fragrant after getting used to it. Shi Qingqing touched her stomach and felt hungry.
Then just continue cooking.
When washing the rice, she had only put in a little rice, and habitually wanted to make porridge with more sweet potatoes and less rice.
Most people here eat it this way, and they just stir-fry some Chinese kale to make a meal.
She had eaten this combination countless times in her dreams, with more sweet potatoes and less rice, and she often felt nauseous and had heartburn after eating it.
My face is turning green from eating so much vegetarian food.
But if you are poor, you don’t have any extra choices.
The newlyweds did not receive any betrothal gift as start-up capital, and Zhao Fengnian lent out most of his salary this month. The money he had was barely enough to pay for rent, water, electricity, and daily necessities, leaving the entire family with only about 60 yuan.
I’m in my sixties and can’t even pay the rent for next quarter, so how can I afford to eat dry meals every day or buy meat?
But with divorce imminent, Shi Qingqing gritted her teeth and simply added two cups of rice and fished out the sweet potatoes, planning to make them into sweet water later.
Shi Qingqing's movements were smooth as she smashed the garlic and washed the vegetables.
Take out the dried croaker, fry it, add a few drops of soy sauce and some fermented black beans, then simmer it.
The garlic-stirred vegetables are simple to make, just stir-fry them in the pan for a few times and they will be cooked. An egg drop soup is also made. Since they are all quick dishes, each dish is still steaming when served on the table.
Shi Qingqing took the initiative to call her husband. "Mr. Zhao, it's time to eat."
"Oh." Zhao Fengnian came over with a stiff face and sat upright while eating, not wanting to lose face at all.
But the food his wife cooked was so delicious that he wanted to cry and he couldn’t stop eating with his chopsticks.
She was about to divorce me, so why did she become so generous and even cook for me?
Normally, we have two liquid meals and one dry meal.
What on earth is she going to do?
After dinner, Shi Qingqing cleaned up the pots and bowls as usual, but Zhao Fengnian grabbed the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the sink. While washing them, he said coldly, "We are strangers from now on. You cook and I wash the dishes. No one will take advantage of the other."
He emphasized the word "cheap".
Shi Qingqing loosened her hand and watched him wash and scrub skillfully, as if he was tamed. In fact, she did not feel happy in her heart.
The typhoon was a little smaller at dusk, so at least it was okay to go out.
As soon as the wind stopped, Zhao Fengnian rushed out. Shi Qingqing shouted, "Come back early for dinner."
Zhao Fengnian ignored her completely.
Shi Qingqing sighed. It was more convenient for her to check the strange mall in her mind when she was alone at this time, so she clicked on it again. The sound of gold coins was accompanied by a burst of fireworks effects.
After the fireworks effects ended, a prompt appeared indicating that the area of the small warehouse had expanded to six cubic meters.
"This is what we got after opening the box just now. The area has been expanded...which means that the space for storing things has become larger." Shi Qingqing was not sure what level this reward was, but it was better to have it than nothing.
The next moment, her hand touched today's task.
The dialog box was directly enlarged to the size of the entire screen: [Primary task: dig oyster meat, the amount is two kilograms, and the reward points are 20 after completing the task. The task time limit is 48 hours. ]
[First mission, no penalty for failure.]
"What? Does that mean there will be punishment if I fail to complete the task next time?" Shi Qingqing was speechless.
To get to the beach from here you need to take a bus and then walk a few miles. Next time you have the mission, make sure you have enough time to accept it.
"However, don't take it lightly even if it's your first mission. I have to go to the beach early tomorrow and finish the mission before coming back." She found a snakeskin bag, put it in the basket, prepared a straw hat, found a pair of scissors, put them all together and take them out tomorrow.
Then Shi Qingqing also went out.
Seeing that there was not much rice and vegetables left at home, she planned to prepare some for the family before leaving.
Zhao Fengnian was careless and didn't know how to buy anything except rice, salt and oil. He lived a rough life.
The dream had been so real it seemed like a lifetime had passed, and she didn't want to repeat it.
All in all, I have a lot of regrets and disappointments, but I don't have any resentment towards my husband.
Only after divorce could Zhao Fengnian accept the opportunity in the near future and separate from his poor and burdensome wife.
They are no longer together, and they will definitely go their separate ways and live a better life.
Shi Qingqing went out to the vegetable market, but Zhao Fengnian had already rushed to the home of his co-worker Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin was playing cards with a few friends. When he saw Zhao Fengnian appear with a gloomy look on his face, he subconsciously wanted to collect all the cards.
Zhao Fengnian strode in, and Zhou Bin didn't have time to clean up his slam on the table before he met Zhao Fengnian's puzzled and angry face.
Zhao Fengnian was so angry that he was about to burn. He accused: "Zhou Bin, you said you were so poor that you couldn't even afford to eat, and asked me to support you with 50 yuan for food. But this is how you can't even afford to eat? You have money to play cards but no money to eat?"
Zhao Fengnian saw the money on the table and said angrily: "Zhou Bin, pay me back! Because of you, I am not living well at all now!..."
Yes, he came to collect a debt.
He thought about it for a long time and felt that his wife must have known that he had lent out the money and he had kept it from her, which made her so discouraged.
If we just ask for our money back, things won’t be like this!
And he wants his wife's clothes back too! Even if his sister says he is incompetent, even if his family members say he is a jerk, he wants his wife's clothes and shoes back.
With fifty dollars in hand, they could all live in that nicer, bigger room with windows and a corridor for a coal stove!
You can buy your wife a new set of clothes and a new pair of shoes without moving house!
Hearing this, Zhou Bin stuffed the gambling money on the table into his pocket and said, "Zhao Fengnian, this is wrong. Who would ask for money from people playing cards? You are bringing bad luck. It's unlucky, don't you know? If I don't win, you are going to compensate me?!"
He took the shameless words for granted.
"No matter how stupid you are, just give me back the money! Give me fifty yuan!" Zhao Fengnian raised his hand to take money out of Zhou Bin's trouser pocket.
Zhou Bin saw his two friends who were playing cards with him looking at him strangely. He felt extremely embarrassed. The blood rushed to his head, turning his neck and face red.
He said "Fuck you" and got down from the card table, rushing towards Zhao Fengnian. "I'll let you pick a fight! I'll bring you bad luck!"
The fist hit me directly——
Zhao Fengnian's cheekbones immediately felt a burning pain!
