How much does Chapter 9 cost?
Yes, we can make money again.
But after sensing her memories, Zhong Wan felt somewhat listless.
Her memories are very simple, so simple that they consist of nothing but going to school and going to work.
But life remained impoverished. The bag she wanted had been in her shopping cart for ten years, but she never got it before she died...
It was all because she used all her wages to help her parents pay off their debts and to help her younger brother buy a house.
Zhong Wan didn't sense her regret, but she could clearly feel her remorse.
It's a pity I never got to fulfill my wish...
Zhong Wan's eyes were slightly red; she couldn't say whether she was right or wrong.
Like her, she was a child who came from the mountains, but she was much luckier than that girl.
Zhong Wan sighed heavily, cleared her mind, and then steadily drew her wish with her paintbrush.
They even thoughtfully drew a complete outfit for her.
Then, just as he put down his pen and picked up his lighter...
Suddenly, there was a loud knocking on the door.
"Sis, open the door quickly, we're back."
"Auntie, open the door quickly!"
Pei Xingyu knocked on the door and complained, "What kind of place is this? It's only just gotten dark, why does it already feel a bit chilly?"
Zhong Wan rolled her eyes in exasperation upon hearing this, then proceeded to continue burning paper money.
Unexpectedly, the remnant soul before him, though uncommunicative, was inherently timid.
Like a rabbit, she vanished before they could finish speaking...
Zhong Wan was dumbfounded and quickly asked in her mind, "System, system, how do I calculate this? The paper is almost on fire, what if it disappears without a trace? Will I still get my bonus?"
【No. 】
"So does this count as one attempt? It didn't even work."
【Calculate. 】
"Can't you be a little more accommodating? Look, there are still some people who haven't left yet."
No, I'll let them go now. Besides, you can't handle too many of them yourself.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan couldn't help but take a deep breath, grit her teeth, get up, and open the door.
Looking at the two people outside the door, he complained, "Didn't I say I'd wait for your message?"
Waaah, the duck she was almost eating just flew away...
She tried her best to maintain a professional, fake smile, but her eyes couldn't help but glare at the two of them with disdain as she said, "Such big men, what's wrong with being cold?!"
"Besides, it's almost July, how cold can it get!"
As soon as the door opened, Zhong Wan's powerful resentment and a slightly chilling aura rushed out.
Pei Xingyu and Zhong Yang couldn't help but shiver.
The two exchanged a glance, then looked at Zhong Wan, who had turned and gone inside after speaking.
He quickly followed her inside.
"Sis, what's wrong?"
Zhong Yang asked with some confusion,
Zhong Wan glared at him angrily, then shook her head listlessly upon hearing his words: "Nothing."
She forced herself to stay alert and casually asked, looking at what they were carrying, "What did you bring back?"
Pei Xingyu reached out and handed it over, saying with a grin, "Freshly roasted duck and chicken!"
He opened the bag as he spoke.
The rich, pungent aroma of grilled meat wafts towards you.
Zhong Wan looked down at the brightly colored roast duck on the counter and asked with a hint of regret, "How much?"
"These two cost 118 yuan in total, but they're sold by weight for 24 yuan per jin."
118 yuan!
┭┮﹏┭┮That's her food money for a week...
Zhong Wan looked at the lifeless roast duck with a pained expression and asked weakly, "Have you eaten?"
Hearing her voice, Zhong Yang knew that his sister's old habit had resurfaced. He shook his head with amusement and turned to Pei Xingyu, saying, "Xingyu, do you want to go up and see if your uncle has woken up? If he has, call him down to eat with us. If he hasn't woken up, that's fine. I'll cook some porridge and put it in the pot for him to eat when he wakes up."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xingyu paused in his mouth while biting into a chicken leg, then wiped his mouth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go up and take a look."
Zhong Wan watched his agile figure walk away, then looked up at the black mist above and couldn't help but ask in her mind, "System, has he woken up?"
Not yet, I'm sleeping soundly. Probably tomorrow.
"Wow, she can really sleep."
Zhong Wan pouted.
After watching Pei Xingyu disappear from sight, Zhong Yang said with a laugh, "Sis, don't be so stingy. It's just a little money."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan clenched her teeth instantly, looked up at Zhong Yang with eyes full of disdain, and was about to retort.
Then he calmly continued, "Don't worry, Pei Xingyu bought these. I bought them here, so they didn't cost you any money."
Zhong Wan's anger paused for a moment, then vanished instantly. She sighed and said, "How can the customer pay the bill! Don't you know anything, you brat?!"
Then, with a hint of regret, he said, "Didn't I transfer five hundred to you? Hurry up and transfer the money to him."
Zhong Yang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Not so bad anymore?"
Zhong Wan pouted and rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "Even if it hurts, we can't let the customers pay the bill."
"And you should be careful with the money you have; I haven't saved enough for your tuition next semester."
Zhong Yang was silent for a moment after hearing this, then gently hummed in agreement and said, "Sis, I'm thinking of finding a summer job in a few days."
Zhong Wan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said softly, "Let's look for it first, and then we'll talk about it when we find something suitable."
"good."
The two fell silent for a moment.
Pei Xingyu came down and saw the quiet scene, and asked curiously, "Why aren't you eating?"
"You don't need to wait for me, I'm not an outsider."
He casually reached out and picked up another chicken leg, took a bite, and said, "My uncle hasn't woken up yet. Let's eat our food and not worry about him."
His appearance broke the silence. Zhong Wan sighed inwardly, then smiled and handed the duck leg to Zhong Yang, saying, "Eat up. You've been busy all day. Eat and get some rest."
"good."
Zhong Yang smiled and accepted it.
After eating and drinking their fill, Zhong Wan calmly directed Zhong Yang and A Gui to pack up their things.
She stretched comfortably, looking at Pei Xingyu with curious eyes, watching him eagerly reach out to A Gui, and noticing his feigned composure yet bright eyes.
Zhong Wan couldn't help but chuckle: "You're really brave, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"hey-hey."
Hearing her words, Pei Xingyu showed no embarrassment at being caught, and instead grinned as he leaned closer: "Auntie, is it really a ghost?"
Zhong Wan shrugged: "I guess so."
"Huh? What's that?"
"Hmm, the corporate slaves at the general store... oh no, to be precise, they're corporate ghosts, the ones who do odd jobs and don't even get paid or have insurance (●ˇˇ●)."
"..."
Pei Xingyu was speechless, but looking at A Gui who was focused on his work, he couldn't find anything wrong with him.
Suddenly, she remembered what she had said to her uncle during the day and couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, Auntie, is there really a ghost around my uncle?"
“Hmm,”
Zhong Wan shrugged: "What do you think?"
She spoke casually, but Pei Xingyu's expression turned serious.
He frowned deeply and said without hesitation, "I think so!"
"Even if there are no ghosts, I feel like there's something unclean around me!"
