A long-lost smile appeared on Jiang Xin's face. She hadn't felt happy for a long time, especially after Yan Ling's accident. She had to take care of his health and be mindful of his mood. The debts she owed and the sarcastic remarks from her colleagues made Jiang Xin feel frustrated and suffocated.
She is human, and a sentimental woman at that. She gets tired, often feels helpless, and needs comfort.
However, given Yanling's current situation, she can no longer be pretentious or do as she pleases. She can only grit her teeth, endure the ridicule from her colleagues, and struggle through her days at the company.
Now she no longer has the confidence to be willful and dares not resign at will. She has to rely entirely on her salary to repay the monthly debt of 10,000 yuan.
Jiang Xin herself probably didn't expect that a handbag could bring her happiness. You know, in the past, only Yan Ling could make her feel happy.
Jiang Xin dared not think any further. If her happiness could be derived from these material things, then what about the love she had pursued so desperately? What about the suffering she was enduring now?
No! Material things can't bring her happiness. She's just glad she won't have to endure Wang Shihan's ridicule tomorrow. Yes, that's it!
Jiang Xin was filled with mixed emotions, and the happiness she had just felt vanished without a trace.
Just as I was about to leave, I remembered that I hadn't bought the groceries for tonight, so I quickly turned around and rushed to the supermarket.
Jiang Xin only realized when she reached the supermarket entrance that this mall housed an imported goods supermarket, which wasn't suitable for her at the moment...
Before leaving, Jiang Xin took one last, wistful look, only to see Ye Beichen and his wife in the supermarket.
Ye Beichen's face showed none of the aloofness he displayed when facing me. He smiled and looked at the heavily pregnant woman with tender eyes. The two chatted and laughed as they selected imported fruits.
Jiang Xin suddenly remembered that when she was pregnant, Yan Ling said she didn't deserve to eat expensive fruit. If he had known the price of the fruit, he probably wouldn't have complained about the price of the cherries she bought.
Just as she was about to greet Ye Beichen, her phone rang; it was Yan Ling calling.
Jiang Xin had been off work for a long time and still hadn't gotten home. Yan Ling and Jiang Ru were starving. His deep voice rang in Jiang Xin's ears: "Are you working overtime today? I was worried because you haven't come home for half a day."
"I'm buying groceries, I'll be right back."
Jiang Xin hurriedly hung up the phone. When she looked up again, Ye Beichen was no longer in sight. She had no choice but to leave the mall with regret and go to another supermarket to buy groceries.
Yanling had taught her before that supermarkets would offer discounted vegetables and food at night, and she should hurry up and buy them, otherwise the elderly would snatch them all up and she wouldn't be able to buy cheap vegetables.
Having just spent all the living expenses Yanling gave her, she would have to be careful with her money for the rest of the time to support her family.
Ye Beichen pushed the supermarket shopping cart with one hand and supported his wife's waist with the other, saying to her, "Walk carefully. Why are you concerned about those irrelevant outsiders?"
Fang Ying glanced at him: "Judging from how she acted just now, I thought she was going to come looking for you."
Not only did Jiang Xin see Ye Beichen and Fang Ying, but the two of them also noticed her. Jiang Xin was dressed plainly, without makeup, and looked somewhat haggard. Standing at the supermarket entrance, she stood out even more from the surroundings.
Ye Beichen and Fang Ying quietly moved away from her sight. They didn't want to get entangled with Jiang Xin; they knew that seeing Ye Beichen would only bring trouble.
Back in the car, Fang Ying remembered the favor her sister-in-law had asked her and Ye Beichen, and asked, "Have you chosen the address for the orphanage?"
"I've chosen the right piece of land in the northern suburbs. It's beautiful and the air is fresh. I also plan to build a nursing home next to it."
Ye Beichen spoke of his younger sister with a face full of pride.
“Then I’ll contribute half, so Mingyue can have some pocket money.”
Fang Ying genuinely adored her sister-in-law, who was even more pampered than Ye Beichen at home, yet she didn't have any of the bad habits of rich girls.
She never expected that Mingyue would give all the money she had saved over the years to Ye Beichen so that he could build a welfare home.
You should know that the Ye family gives her a fixed allowance of 500,000 yuan every month, and her parents also transfer money to her from time to time. Over the decades, the amount has been quite substantial.
My sister-in-law had been saving all her money and hadn't touched it. Now she's taking it out and plans to open a welfare home in my parents' names.
No wonder her parents doted on her. Despite their affluent lifestyle, she was never spoiled, and she was sincere, kind, and loving.
If my child were like her, I would definitely spoil her rotten too.
Jiang Xin bought a lot of discounted vegetables and food at the supermarket, carrying large bags home. Just as she put the things down and was about to cook, her mother-in-law pointed to the packaging of the bags and asked, "What's this?"
Yan Ling's gaze followed Jiang Ru's voice to the packaging bag. His pupils dilated in surprise. Jiang Xin went to buy a bag?
When he was in that world, he had seen many of Jiang Xin's bags and was familiar with these brands. He also knew that this brand's bags were not cheap.
Where did she get the money to buy the bag? Thinking that he had just transferred 50,000 yuan to her today, Yanling's face instantly darkened.
Jiang Xin stammered, "These are the things I bought."
After saying that, she put the bag into the bedroom and hurriedly said, "I'm going to cook."
Yan Ling watched coldly, his disgust and loathing welling up again. He saw the discounted vegetables in the supermarket shopping bag. He used to buy a lot of these discounted items and knew their packaging by heart.
Jiang Xin used the money she was given to buy a bag, and then bought discounted vegetables for herself and her mother-in-law.
How dare she!
