Lu Feng devoured the noodles in the bowl in a flash, then picked up the bowl and drank even the broth, smacking his lips with satisfaction.
He had shared his impoverished childhood and the hardships of starting a business on many occasions before. Now, in comparison, Lu Feng realizes how fortunate he was back then.
Jiang Xiaoyan stood up to clear the dishes, but Lu Feng quickly said, "Let me do it. It's already bad enough that I'm eating for free."
Jiang Xiaoyan was slightly taken aback. The bowl and chopsticks in her hand had been taken away. Lu Feng took the bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen and began to wash the pot.
Duoduo's eyes widened, her little head filled with big questions, and she asked softly, "Mommy, what's wrong with him?"
Jiang Xiaoyan didn't know what was wrong with him. All she could think of was that Lu Feng wanted money. The only money they had at home was the 900 yuan dowry they received when they got married.
Lu Feng had hit him more than once because of those nine hundred yuan, but the money was really all gone. The expenses for moving out of the village all depended on this money.
Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to tell Duoduo that he would be a good father, but when she got to the point, she thought again that if Lu Feng couldn't get the money this way, he would probably beat her again.
Why give her that hope if that's the case?
"Maybe he had a change of heart."
"Has he changed for the better?" The child's voice was full of anticipation.
Jiang Xiaoyan didn't say anything, but reached out and patted Duo Duo's little head, looking at her affectionately, and said, "How about you come to the electronics factory with Mommy later?"
Duo Duo frowned and said, "It's so noisy there, and that fat uncle always yells at me."
“Be good. If he insults you, just ignore him. We’re poor, we can’t afford to offend people.” Jiang Xiaoyan said helplessly. She had worked very hard to get the job at the electronics factory.
She works as a waitress washing dishes in a small restaurant every morning, earning fifty yuan a month. The electronics factory is a high-end factory, and she takes over someone else's job, earning two hundred yuan a month, but she gets fifty yuan from them.
Don't be fooled by the fact that that person doesn't work and earns 150 yuan a month. There are people who are willing to earn 30 or 40 yuan a month. It's all thanks to Jiang Xiaoyan's fast hands, efficient work, and high school education that she can earn a few more yuan.
As Lu Feng washed the dishes in the kitchen, his stomach filled with food, and his mind began to work, trying to figure out how he had ended up in Lu Feng's body.
He had seen other cases of reincarnation, but to be reincarnated into someone else's body was truly a rare occurrence.
Ten years of hard work and assets worth over two billion yuan are not something to be given up easily. They contain so much of his hard work and dedication. Now, Lu Feng just wants to go back.
As for Jiang Xiaoyan and her daughter, their lives became easier after Lu Feng died. Everyone has their own fate, and Lu Feng was never a soft-hearted person.
Looking at the water in the pot, Lu Feng wondered to himself if the power would allow him to go back.
Or shall we have another drink?
He immediately rejected the idea of drinking, saying that the family couldn't afford it.
"In many movies, people travel through time by being electrocuted. I can put my hand into a basin of water and electrify it. Even if I fail, the convulsions after being electrocuted will allow me to disconnect from the power source, preventing me from being electrocuted to death!"
Lu Feng nodded secretly, thinking that this was a good idea. Although the idea was ridiculous, he was willing to try it as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
As Lu Feng left the kitchen, he saw the two of them whispering to each other and asked, "Is the injury on your face alright?"
Jiang Xiaoyan was taken aback by this sudden concern and replied, "I'm fine."
"Do you have any medicine at home? Let me apply some."
"No, never mind, it's alright." Jiang Xiaoyan bit her lip and hesitated for a while before saying, "Lu Feng, the dowry money your family gave you back then, it's really all gone. I'm not lying to you. I don't even have money to buy groceries tonight. I'll go to the electronics factory and borrow a few cents from someone."
After Jiang Xiaoyan finished speaking, she closed her eyes tightly, her pretty face contorted in a grimace, bracing herself for his furious barrage of punches and kicks, but nothing came of it.
"Then lend me some first. We need to eat. Duo Duo is growing. You have to go to work this afternoon, right?" Lu Feng smiled at Duo Duo and said, "Duo Duo can stay home with me."
Jiang Xiaoyan's face relaxed, her eyes filled with disbelief. She no longer knew what Lu Feng was trying to do, let alone whether he had really changed for the better.
She couldn't believe it. For Lu Feng, Jiang Xiaoyan felt not disappointment, but despair. She dared not hold any hope, otherwise she might fall into the deepest abyss the next second.
Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Duoduo, immediately realized something, and pulled Duoduo into her arms in a panic, shouting at Lu Feng, "What do you want to do? Are you crazy?"
"ah?"
Lu Feng just wanted to help her take care of the child, and the little guy was really cute, so he didn't know why she reacted so strongly.
"If you dare to sell Duoduo, I'll call the police. Even if I die, I'll make sure you go to hell!" This was the first time Jiang Xiaoyan dared to speak to Lu Feng like this. Her eyes were full of determination, as if she were telling Lu Feng that she meant what she said. She turned around and patted Duoduo's little head gently, saying, "Mommy is going to change her clothes. We'll go to the factory in a little while."
Jiang Xiaoyan walked to the old cabinet, opened the door, and took out her electronics factory work jacket. It was her best piece of clothing; the rest were from her wedding.
Duo Duo blinked her big eyes at Lu Feng, cautiously approached him, and asked, "Have you changed for the better?"
Lu Feng nodded and whispered, "Yes!"
"So you won't hit your mother anymore, right?"
"Yes, we definitely won't fight anymore."
A smile lit up the little guy's face. He waved and said, "Come here."
