Chapter 163 Find a Place to Eat



Wan Qing is a completely spoiled child.

Both her parents are leaders, and she has two capable older brothers. She is the only girl in the family and also the youngest.

In fact, a family like this doesn't need to go to the countryside at all. With such family connections, as long as the family spends some money and pulls some strings, they can find Wan Qing a job.

In fact, Wan Qing didn't need to go to the countryside at all. However, Wan Qing was like a child who never grew up. Her family doted on her and, in order to protect her from harm, they increased their control and education of her.

The older she gets, the more worried her daughter will suffer, so her family talks to her more often. But instead of feeling cared for, Wan Qing feels she has no freedom and wants to escape this suffocating home.

I really want the so-called freedom that others and my classmates talk about.

Wan Qing's family was against it no matter what. Wan Qing resisted twice, but made no progress. In the end, she could only compromise on the surface, but secretly signed up for the job.

By the time the family found out, it was too late to change anything.

Although the family was well-off, they couldn't go against national policies, so in the end, they could only make arrangements when the children went to the countryside.

Wan Qing noticed that Du Li was also quite inexperienced in preparing dinner.

Then think about the living conditions here. There are even peasants here beating themselves.

She immediately regretted it. Wan Qing thought that she would go to town tomorrow to send a telegram home, asking her parents to think of a way to get her back.

However, what the young lady didn't know was that once someone was sent to the countryside, they couldn't return to the city unless there were very special circumstances, and even if her family had connections, there was nothing they could do.

Today, Wan Qing saw that whether they were educated youth or locals, everyone had to work, and they were all made to look dark and thin. She had a thought in her mind: she didn't want to become like that.

She didn't want to become like a peasant, looking like a country bumpkin.

Wan Qing was extremely proud and aloof. Because her family was well-off, she looked down on farmers who toiled in the fields every day, and she even looked down on educated youth.

Working like that every day, what's the difference between those educated youth and the farmers here? She saw it during the day; the educated youth were already just like the farmers here. If they weren't introduced to each other, you wouldn't be able to tell they were educated youth at all.

Therefore, Wan Qing was very reluctant to live with the educated youth. She chose Lin Xiaoxiao's place because it was clean and half of the houses were tiled roofs, which looked more upscale and made her feel more comfortable.

Wan Qing was thinking that she should have a good talk with her family tomorrow; she didn't want to suffer here.

He immediately told Du Li to stop busying herself, but she didn't believe that she had money and couldn't find food here.

Wan Qing said, "Let's go out to eat." With that, she pulled Du Li out of the educated youth compound.

Sun Yue shook her head as she watched their retreating figures. "Those two are just good-for-nothings."

They thought that the two young ladies from the city could surely make Lin Xiaoxiao suffer, right?

Unexpectedly, not only did the two fail to disgust Lin Xiaoxiao, but they were also beaten up, making all the effort she put into talking that afternoon a waste.

Wan Qing may be spoiled, but she's quite clever.

They quickly found a family and got to eat.

The family also prepared cornbread for them, along with vegetables with dipping sauce. Seeing that the two were not short of money, the old lady even made wheat flour noodles and poached eggs for them.

"The food for the two children is ready; they can eat now," the old woman said politely from the side.

A little girl stood timidly beside the old woman, looking at the two of them.

Wan Qing was very satisfied with their reaction.

Seeing the ingratiating smiles on Wang Chuan's family's faces, Wan Qing finally felt a little happier.

After taking a couple of bites of noodles, she thought about how her family often ate meat, and she also thought about the wild rabbits hanging in Lin Xiaoxiao's backyard, and the dried meat that Han Zhiqing ate while riding the train.

Thinking of the fragrant meat and the delicate texture of the white noodles, Wan Qing found the meal utterly unsatisfying.

"I can't finish this bowl of noodles, you can share it." After Wan Qing finished the egg in her bowl, she pushed it to the girl next to her.

“We’re all destined to be deprived of fine grains, Wan Zhiqing, you should eat these noodles. They’re too precious.”

Wang Chuan's mother glanced at the little girl beside her, gesturing for her to return the noodles to them.

"It's alright, you guys eat. You get so little to eat, consider it my treat." Wan Qing saw that this family member was quite sensible, so she didn't make a fuss about it.

Seeing that Wan Qing really didn't want to eat Wang Chuan's mother's food, she took the bowl over and gave each family member a chopstick.

This girl just gave me 50 cents.

They're obviously very wealthy. If they ate at their house all the time, they'd be the family's god of wealth. That's why Wang Chuan's mother was so nice to them.

They were afraid of giving such a good deal to another company.

Wang Chuan, standing to the side, felt extremely uncomfortable seeing Wan Qing's attitude. He could tell from the way Wan Qing looked at people that she looked down on their family.

If you don't like them, that's fine. People like that are just parasites in the house; they don't have to do anything, they can just reach out and do whatever they want.

Not only does Wan Qing look down on them, but he himself also looks down on women like that.

"You two girls, are you planning to build your own house? My husband Wang Chuan happens to be free recently, so he can come and help you out."

"You don't need to bother with the kitchen anymore. Just come over and eat at my place. Just tell me what you want to eat. It's very convenient."

"Just get a kettle for boiling water where you're staying," Wang Chuan's mother said, glancing at Wan Qing's expression.

If we calculate it this way, the food expenses this person pays every day are enough for his whole family to live on.

She has to fight hard to get it.

After Du Li explained the situation to Wang Qing, he learned that it would be difficult to return to the countryside after being sent there, and even if he could, it would take a lot of time to make arrangements.

Wan Qing thought about it and realized that since he was going to be living here for a while anyway, why should he make things so difficult for himself?

Ji immediately discussed it with Wang Chuan's mother, and the two of them ended up paying 8 yuan a month, which would amount to 96 yuan a year.

Wang Chuan's mother immediately agreed. She did the math and realized that this was no small amount of money. In Wangjia Village, a young adult would work hard for a year, and after deducting the food rations distributed by the village, they would not even receive a hundred yuan when it came time to distribute the money.

The food allowance they provided was equivalent to the annual income of a young adult.

This calculation is based on a good economic situation. In a bad economic situation, it could be equivalent to one large and one small.
