Chapter 066 Changing Life
"How many?"
"Three dollars, three dollars, three dollars. Give me all the money. It's here. Take it." Second Aunt put three dollars into Aunt Wei's palm.
“Wuwuwuwu…wuwuwuwuwu…”
When Aunt Wei's daughter-in-law arrived, she saw her crying bitterly and subconsciously looked at Second Aunt.
Second Aunt patted Aunt Wei on the shoulder.
Aunt Wei looked up and saw her daughter-in-law coming over. She reached out and hugged her and continued to cry, which made her daughter-in-law look confused. Fortunately, after crying, Aunt Wei came to her senses, pulled her daughter-in-law's hand away, and put three yuan in her hand.
"Mom... this is..."
"Mom earns money from embroidery," Aunt Wei whispered, "and I'll share it with you in the future. You don't have to worry about not having enough money or having nothing to eat."
"Really? How come it's so much?" The daughter-in-law knew that her mother-in-law was making money by embroidering. She thought that she could make a few dollars a month, but who would have thought that she could make three dollars in just two days? After getting a positive answer, she was still a little bit unbelievable, "How much can you make in a month...?"
Second Aunt spoke up at this time: "There is one more thing. When they came this morning, they told me that I cannot embroider at night. If you embroider at night, they will not want you."
"How can I not do it? I can do it at night." Aunt Wei raised her head.
"Oh, embroidery is such a delicate work. If you do it too much at night, what will happen if your eyesight is damaged in the future? Won't it still cause trouble for your daughter-in-law?" Second Aunt said quickly, "Anyway, I promised her that you won't do it at night. If you still do it at night, I will tell her."
Aunt Wei stuttered: "I, I..."
Her daughter-in-law spoke first, holding Aunt Wei's hand: "Fuck, no, my mother doesn't work at night. We don't make that much money. As long as we can make five or eight yuan a month, it's enough for us to live. My mother listens to me. I keep an eye on her. She doesn't work at night, otherwise her eyes will be damaged."
Second Aunt looked at Aunt Wei.
Aunt Wei looked back and forth at the two of them, gritted her teeth and said, "Then I won't do it at night. I'll listen to you and embroider during the day. I can also embroider a lot and make money."
"That's right. Although making money is important, your health is also important. Only when you are healthy can you stop causing trouble for your children and have an easier life when you are old," the second aunt advised. "Just listen to me. There is no rush to make money. Take your time. And you are not slow at embroidery. As long as the weather is good and you can embroider, you can at least make more than ten yuan a month."
"Can you?" Aunt Wei's daughter-in-law asked, "Mom, you can't be too tired."
"Yes, I can do it. I can embroider a lot even if I just embroider during the day," Aunt Wei said immediately. Thinking about her embroidery speed, her mood instantly stabilized and a smile appeared on her face. "I can earn a lot of money just by working during the day. Maybe I can earn more than 20 yuan."
"It doesn't need to be that much, a few bucks or a dozen bucks will be enough," said Aunt Wei's daughter-in-law, "I still have my salary."
"Yes, you still have a salary," Aunt Wei held her daughter-in-law's hand, "You have some free time now, so you can take some time to learn from me later. You can embroider simple things, and maybe you can earn a few cents."
"I'll listen to you." Aunt Wei's daughter-in-law nodded with a smile.
After they had said everything they needed to say, the two of them supported each other and stood up.
Second Aunt was about to go out when she thought of something and turned back: "Don't embroider tonight. The oil lamp is so dim, it's bad for your eyes."
Aunt Wei's daughter-in-law immediately replied, "No, I'm watching my mother. I'll make sure she has a good rest tonight."
"That's right. I'll leave first. When you finish embroidering in a few days, just give the stuff to me and I'll pass it on to you." After saying that, the second aunt went out and returned to her room next door.
After entering the house, looking at the large and small furnishings in the house, I suddenly felt as if I was in another world.
Clearly, she bought all these decorations herself, but when she thinks back to the days before she came into contact with the sweater list before the Chinese New Year, she always feels that the present life is particularly unreal, and has changed so much from before.
She doesn't care about speculation or profiteering. She thinks anything is fine as long as she can live a good life.
Thinking of this, she went into the kitchen and made herself a cup of milk powder.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that since she started drinking milk powder, her health was indeed better than before. She thought that maybe she could buy a few more packets of milk powder. She earned a lot of money, so she could save money after buying milk powder and other things. Since she had earned money, she should always live a good life.
Tang Yuan also made himself a cup of milk powder.
Ever since a kitchen was set up in the game space, she has never suffered a day of deprivation. Not only does she have meat every day, but she also has plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as milk powder and eggs.
After taking adequate nutritional supplements, her health got better and better. Not only did she grow taller, but she also had secondary development. Fortunately, she spent all the money she earned every month on herself. When others saw her changes, they just thought that her life was really too hard before. Now that she can freely spend her salary and can eat well, her health has naturally improved.
After soaking the milk powder and cooling it to the appropriate temperature, she took the opportunity to go to the toilet while working in the boiler room, went into the game space, drank the milk powder, and then went out to eat.
This evening meal was basically eaten in the cafeteria. She didn't stand out too much. Except for a few slices of bacon occasionally, most of the dishes were based on various salted and sauerkraut. Everyone was the same. She even had a few slices of bacon in her lunch box, which was relatively good.
After dinner, she washed her lunch box and went back to sit in the stove room.
This time, when her attention was distracted, she entered Xiaomei's body.
Maybe because she had been crazy about the new vest for too long, her name was not included in the fragmented memories she saw. It was not until two days ago when the green rice dumplings were delivered and she heard people outside calling her that she knew her name.
But whether it is Xiaomei or Xiaofang, they are just code names. She is still Tang Yuan, but she is just using these aliases to do some things.
As soon as she walked out of the "temporary residence" in her new vest, she heard a crisp dripping sound. She looked up and found that the house was leaking. Fortunately, she had moved the bed away early in the morning, and the leaking rain was far away from the bed, so she would not be dripped on by it anyway.
This house was originally where she lived, and the area where the leak was not that large. She looked up at the top of her head and noted the angle of the place. When the weather cleared up again, she would climb up and have a look, and fix the leak.
The location of the leak is easy to find. You can't wait for it to rain. Wherever there is moisture, there is a problem.
After watching for a while, Tang Yuan walked out of the room and went to the two rooms where rags were stored. As expected, there were no leaks in these two rooms. Even the other rooms that had no signs of leaks before were not leaking.
However, the few houses with problems have completely turned into a situation where it is raining heavily outside but leaking lightly inside.
She walked around several rooms and entered one that was leaking badly. She walked along the wall to the window, reached out and opened it, wanting to see if this place was suitable for climbing up.
She lives in all these houses now. If the leaks continue like this, the houses will be broken down sooner or later. We have to find a way to repair them.
She had just opened the window and was concentrating on listening to the sound of rain when she heard a faint cry for help.
Because the sound was too faint, she thought for a moment that she had heard it wrong. It was not until she heard the sound again that she was sure that someone was calling for help, and right outside the window.
She hesitated for a moment, stuck her head out to take a look at the situation outside, gritted her teeth, turned over and went out, found a place outside in the rain where she could walk down, and walked down step by step, holding onto a tree beside her. The further she walked down, the louder the cries for help became.
She made the noise deliberately, and when the person calling for help heard it, it was as if he had found a lifeline, and his voice became louder and louder.
Following the sound, she finally found the person calling for help.
She had no idea who the other party was, but judging from the situation, it seemed that heavy rain had caused a landslide somewhere, which swept the people on the mountain in. Half of their bodies were stuck in the muddy soil, and they were unable to climb out by their own strength.
She looked around, grabbed the thick vine she had caught along the way, found a big tree, tied herself to the tree, and then threw the vine out in front of the person calling for help.
When the other party saw the thick vine, he immediately grabbed it in surprise.
Tang Yuan exerted force and pulled the other person out of the mud bit by bit.
At this moment, a voice came from far away: "Dog boy? Where are you, Dog boy?"
Tang Yuan looked up and saw the light of the flashlight. He exerted more strength and pulled the other person out of the mud completely. Then he untied the thick vines that tied himself to the tree and turned around and ran to the top of the mountain.
When Gou Wazi came to his senses, he saw a figure running up the mountain. He heard someone calling him from afar, and immediately turned around and ran in the direction where the people at home came from.
The two sides quickly came together.
"What are you doing up here on the mountain at this time, you little bastard? You deserve a beating!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "bang" in the distance, and another slope collapsed, completely burying the place that had just collapsed.
This commotion startled everyone, and they quickly turned around and ran away.
Gou Wazi looked back and saw a figure jumping onto the top of the mountain in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief and held his parents' hands tightly: "It was the madman. The madman saved me."
"What saved you?"
"I fell in just now and couldn't climb out. She pulled me out. If she hadn't pulled me out, I would have been buried."
"What?"
"It's the place where the slope collapsed just now. Were you buried there before?"
"My God, if you were buried there, none of us would be able to see you."
"It was that lunatic who saved you? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure she heard your voices and ran up immediately," Gou Wa Zi said firmly, "I was so scared just now, I shouted for a long time but no one heard me, I almost got buried completely."
"It's good, it's good, it's good that you're okay, you're really lucky, that lunatic didn't hurt anyone, she was able to save you, God bless you, bring her some food when you get back, so she'll have the strength to find something else to eat in the woods."
"Um."
