If you go to a bank to apply for a loan and complete the necessary procedures, the loan can be disbursed on the same day, or you can apply for an online loan.
But it’s 1989 now. There are no online loans like Paipaidai, let alone credit cards. As for bank loans?
Zhang Yaoyao thought about it and realized it wouldn’t work because she had no collateral!
Making money is really a headache.
Zhang Yaoyao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She accidentally bumped into a bookshelf beside the bed. The wooden shelf swayed as she was hit by her body, and the books on it also swayed with it. Zhang Yaoyao's eyes swept over the row of books, and her eyes lit up, and she cried out inwardly.
"Oh, I got it!"
When the original owner's parents died, they left her a sum of money, not much, just about a thousand yuan, which could be considered an inheritance.
In order to prevent her from spending the money lavishly, the original owner's father deposited it in the bank for her and gave the deposit slip to her uncle, who told her quietly when he moved out.
The bank deposit slip was tucked inside a copy of the Four Books and Five Classics on the bookshelf. The money could not be used unless it was absolutely necessary.
What is the last resort?
The current situation is that she has no other choice. The original owner is dead. She is a ghost from another place who has traveled here. She has no parents and no one to love her. So she should take out the money and do something with it so that the original owner can live a good life in this world.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yaoyao's waist and legs no longer felt sore, and she no longer felt sleepy. She immediately got up from the bed with full energy, went to the bookshelf and rummaged around for a while, and finally found a deposit slip that was pressed tightly against the bookshelf from a copy of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Holding the deposit slip that she had finally found, Zhang Yaoyao glanced at the numbers on it and muttered to herself.
"1800 yuan is not a small amount. With this money, I should be able to live here, right?"
The living standards in those days were not as high as those in the 21st century. After Zhang Yaoyao got the money, she was very frugal. In addition to being able to survive in the 1980s, she was also able to start a small business to ensure that she would not starve to death.
With money in her pocket, Zhang Yaoyao felt relieved. She carefully put the deposit slip away and put it in her pocket. She lay on the bed and fell asleep in a sound sleep after a while.
The next day, just after dawn, Zhang Yaoyao was still asleep when she heard a burst of laughter outside the house, waking her up from her sweet dream.
Zhang Yaoyao opened her hazy eyes, glanced out the window, and found that it was already dawn outside.
The noisy sounds came from the aunts and uncles in the compound getting up early to wash vegetables and cook, the laughter of children running around, and the ringing of bicycle bells and shouts of people getting up early to go to work. All of these sounds mixed together to form a morning alarm song, which came faintly through the windows that were already shabby and not soundproofed, making it impossible to sleep.
Zhang Yaoyao got up, washed quickly, and went out with the vegetable basin. She had to go to the public faucet in the courtyard to wash rice and vegetables and make breakfast for herself.
Breakfast for one person is also simple. Zhang Yaoyao prepares to make some porridge, a side dish, and pickles, and it will be a meal.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to eat good food, but the conditions don’t allow it. Good things, such as eggs and bacon, were all made by the original owner every day in order to pursue Lu Sinian. As for whether Lu Sinian ate them, or whether they ended up in someone’s stomach or in the trash can, no one knows!
Now, Zhang Yaoyao is thankful as long as she can have enough to eat. She is thankful that the original owner has not lost his humanity and has left some food for her so that she will not starve to death.
Arriving at the compound's public water tap, a group of older relatives and young wives gathered there, chatting animatedly. Their hands were busy washing clothes, washing rice and vegetables, or cleaning pots and pans—in short, their hands and mouths were always busy.
As soon as Zhang Yaoyao appeared, the women who were discussing enthusiastically stopped the topic, all the voices stopped abruptly, and everyone present looked straight at Zhang Yaoyao, as if they had seen a ghost.
It's no wonder everyone looks at her strangely, because Zhang Yaoyao usually puts on makeup, rouge, and lipstick as soon as she gets up, making herself look like a ghost? Today, Zhang Yaoyao appeared by the pool with no makeup on, showing a pretty face. Her already outstanding face paired with a perfectly proportioned figure makes her look even more youthful, which really attracted people's attention.
Zhang Yaoyao thought that her appearance would cause quite a stir, but she didn't expect that she would attract everyone's attention as soon as she appeared. Zhang Yaoyao was shocked, but there was nothing she could do. This was the sin she had committed, and she had to bear it no matter what.
Who made her Zhang Yaoyao herself now?
Although feeling depressed, Zhang Yaoyao maintained a calm expression. Facing everyone's surprised gazes, she calmly walked to the faucet and began to wash rice and vegetables.
She had a look of "everyone looks at everyone, I do my job." Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering if Zhang Yaoyao had taken the wrong medicine again today. What was wrong with her?
Li Zhanying and Huang Pinting were also in the crowd. Looking at Zhang Yaoyao's expression that said, "I don't care about anyone else except washing rice and cooking," they looked at each other, and Huang Pinting couldn't help but say.
"Hey, Zhang Yaoyao, you got up pretty early today. Why did you go out to make breakfast for Lu Sinian without putting on makeup? Aren't you afraid that your sweetheart won't be able to eat breakfast if he sees you without makeup?"
Huang Pinting's words were full of irony. Zhang Yaoyao's face looked like a ghostly scribble after she put on makeup, but she just loved putting on makeup before going out. Isn't that even more annoying?
When Lu Sinian saw Zhang Yaoyao's figure, he didn't even have time to hide, so how could he accept Zhang Yaoyao making a sly face and bringing him food? The fact that he didn't vomit up the overnight meal was a testament to Lu Sinian's great composure as a soldier.
Of course, that was in the past. Zhang Yaoyao looked particularly strange this morning. It was strange that she didn't wear makeup, and she even went out early in the morning to wash rice and vegetables.
Why are there no meat and eggs? Before, I always served them together for display before going back to make breakfast for Lu Sinian.
Even when she boiled an egg, she would wash it under the faucet, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she was making a loving meal for Lu Sinian.
But today he was unusually low-key, and there was not even an egg shell to be seen.
Everyone present understood what Huang Pinting said. They all exchanged glances, their faces filled with expressions of anticipation for a good show. Li Zhanying on the side echoed this.
"Yeah, aren't you supposed to make breakfast for your brother Si Nian? How come there's not even a piece of meat in sight? You're just washing rice and vegetables. Are you sure Lu Si Nian will accept the breakfast you made?"
