Chapter 169 Coming to the island is half the battle



"Okay, I'll feel at ease if you go with me." Du Zhenghai thought about it and agreed. At least in terms of life experience, Li Xiujuan is quite good at it.

Li Xiujuan has a good job now, as a ticket seller, which is considered a stable job. Many people who want to get it may not be able to get it, or they cannot sell their jobs for money.

Jiang Sisi, immersed in the joy of finally being free, was completely unaware of this.

Considering that she was going to the island, Jiang Sisi made a special trip back home.

"Dad, Mom, Yingfan and I are going to the island to do business this time, and it will probably cost a lot of money. Can you lend me some more?" Whenever Jiang Sisi returned home, she would think of her dowry that had been stolen, and she would be very angry.

If the dowry was still there, she wouldn't have had to endure such a miserable life in the Du family for the past six months!

And if you want to do business now, you don’t have to be so tight-fisted and have so little money.

"Sisi, you know the situation at home. Your father and I are living a tight life... and we don't have any money." Wang Yamei was a little helpless.

Even now, the family hasn't even bought all the furniture, and life is so hard.

If she had not moved those things from her hometown to give to Jiang Sisi as a dowry, the house would not be without furniture, and she could even exchange them for some money for Jiang Sisi.

Wang Yamei couldn't help but curse the thief who came to her house to steal things, but after so much time, the thief still hadn't been found.

"Dad, Mom, when Yingfan and I make a lot of money doing business on the island, we will send money back to you and Dad so that you can live a good life too!" Jiang Sisi promised them.

At this time, she firmly believed that as long as Du Yingfan went to the island, he would be able to make money.

"Sisi, although mom doesn't have much money, since you are going on a long journey, I will still have to provide you with some financial support." Wang Yamei was very moved after hearing this.

She thought about taking out all her salary that had just been paid this month and gave it to Jiang Sisi.

Although the money is not much, it is all she can afford now.

Jiang Sisi stayed here for a short time before returning, but she never expected that she would be greeted with bad news.

"I will go to the island with you. Go buy the tickets tomorrow." Li Xiujuan instructed her.

"What? But mom, don't you still have to go to work?" Jiang Sisi was stunned at first, then became a little anxious.

She finally got the chance to go to the island with Du Yingfan, but she didn't expect Li Xiujuan to follow them. Wouldn't she continue to order her around?

"I sold my job," said Li Xiujuan.

"..." Jiang Sisi felt a black screen before her eyes when she heard this, and she wished she could faint.

But her opposition would not be of any use. Jiang Sisi went to buy the boat ticket the next day, but Li Xiujuan was so stingy that she didn't even give her any money.

As soon as the New Year was over, the three of them packed up their things and took a boat to the island.

After the Chinese New Year, more people went to the island. The boat was crowded with people, and everyone was trying hard to squeeze on.

Du Yingfan's leg had not healed yet, so he walked slowly when getting on the boat and was bumped into several times.

"Are these people blind? Why are they pushing them? What if my son gets hurt?" Li Xiujuan felt so distressed.

She carried a lot of bags and squeezed next to Du Yingfan to protect him.

Du Yingfan is a grown man, but he doesn't even have a piece of luggage in his hands and needs someone to protect him. It's embarrassing to watch.

"Come here a little, don't let others squeeze Yingfan!" Li Xiujuan was not satisfied with protecting one side, so she turned around and gave orders to Jiang Sisi.

"There are too many people..." Jiang Sisi was also carrying a lot of luggage on her back and was squeezed so hard that she was out of breath. She had no time to care about Du Yingfan.

As soon as she got on the boat, Li Xiujuan rushed in like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and quickly grabbed a seat.

"Yingfan, here!" Li Xiujuan took a seat and called Du Yingfan over.

Not only did she quickly give her seat to Du Yingfan, she also stood beside him with her bag on her back to protect him, and she was reluctant to let Du Yingfan take the bag.

Jiang Sisi felt dizzy from being squeezed, and she stared at Du Yingfan's seat, but Du Yingfan acted as if he didn't see her and didn't even suggest letting her sit there.

The main reason is that my legs are not in good condition and I can’t stand for a long time.

She felt a little unhappy, thinking that Du Yingfan didn't care about her at all. She was carrying a lot of bags, but Du Yingfan didn't offer to help carry them.

He was obviously sitting down and just holding it on his body, so it wasn't tiring at all.

The boat started to sway as it started moving, the cabin was packed with people, and all kinds of smells were mixed together.

"Yue..." Just halfway through her sitting, Li Xiujuan couldn't stand it anymore and vomited because of the squeezing.

"Yue!" The unpleasant smell filled the cabin, causing Jiang Sisi, who was standing next to him, to vomit as well.

"What's wrong with you? If you want to vomit, why don't you use a bag to catch it? You're vomiting all over the boat. It's so disgusting. How can people sit on it?" The people next to them cursed and squeezed to the side, unwilling to get close to them.

Du Yingfan: “…”

He sat there, quietly keeping some distance between himself and the two people.

Firstly, it was really disgusting, and secondly, I felt that the two of them were embarrassing, and now I wanted to pretend that I didn't know them.

"Why can't I sit down? If you guys hadn't squeezed me, I wouldn't have vomited. It's all your fault!" Li Xiujuan was used to being domineering at home, so she started arguing with others immediately.

Until she got off the boat, Li Xiujuan didn't stop talking and was still cursing the people on the boat.

"We're already on the island. Stop talking and go find a place to stay first." Du Yingfan couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her with a frown.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my son. Let's find a place to live first." Li Xiujuan's face immediately changed when she faced Du Yingfan.

She thought Du Yingfan was tired from the boat ride and didn't care that he was still feeling uncomfortable due to seasickness, so he urged Jiang Sisi to leave quickly.

Jiang Sisi carried more luggage than Li Xiujuan, and almost all the luggage that Du Yingfan didn't carry was given to her.

In addition, she was squeezed to the point of vomiting just now, so her face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat, but the two people in front of her acted as if they didn't see it.

From the moment he boarded the ship, Du Yingfan never said a word to her about his concern.

Jiang Sisi felt aggrieved and thought that once Du Yingfan made money, she would definitely take all the money into her own hands!

The three people were unfamiliar with the island and didn't have much money, so they could only walk with their luggage and ask people for a place to stay.

I looked at many properties but couldn't afford to rent any of them because they were too expensive.

It was not until near dusk that we finally found a cheap house.

This is a dilapidated tube-shaped building, far away from the city and the beach, and the surrounding environment is not good, so it is cheap.

The house has two bedrooms and a living room. It is not very spacious. Not only is there not much furniture inside, there is not even a toilet. If you want to go to the toilet, you can only go to the public toilet at the end of the corridor.

Li Xiujuan and Du Yingfan both disliked this house. If they had enough money to live in a place like this, they really would not want to live there.

But Jiang Sisi was fine, thinking that as long as she reached the island, she was halfway to success.
