Chapter 3 The Cicada Sheds Its Shell



Jiang Tiecheng walked away quickly, rummaging through his pockets.

Sure enough, I pulled out 32.5 yuan from the pocket of my shirt, with both small and large amounts.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, good, good, as expected, having a cheat ability makes people feel happy.

Jiang Tiecheng stuffed the money back into his pocket and hummed a song as he entered the house.

Liu Cuie had a wet towel draped over her head and was lying on the bed, humming softly.

He glanced at Jiang Tiecheng, who had just walked in, out of the corner of his eye, and his humming voice instantly rose eight octaves.

"Ouch, ouch!"

"Ouch……"

The eldest son, who always cared for her, did not come forward to ask questions as usual.

Instead, he turned around and went straight to his own room.

Enraged, Liu Cuie reached out and pulled the towel away, then sat up and slapped the edge of the bed hard.

Why does this boss seem like a completely different person now?

If the eldest son really goes to the countryside, what will happen to the family?

No, we can't let the eldest go to the countryside.

Liu Cuie's eyes held a hint of ruthlessness.

During dinner, Jiang Jincheng looked smug; he had completed all the reporting procedures.

No one can stop him from becoming a worker.

Jiang Tiecheng spoke directly.

"Mom, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Could you give me some money and food coupons so I can buy some things?"

You were too sensible in your past life.

He always devised solutions in secret and never complained to anyone.

"Eldest brother, your father passed away suddenly, and there wasn't much money left in the family. We haven't had any income for the past six months."

Poor families travel richly.

"Mom will go out to borrow money in a little while."

Liu Cuie looked troubled and sighed, waiting for Jiang Tiecheng to speak.

After waiting for more than ten seconds without hearing Jiang Tiecheng's response,

Liu Cuie looked up, slightly taken aback.

Jiang Tiecheng was enjoying his meal when he met Liu Cuie's gaze, and even gave her a shy smile.

Seeing Liu Cuie's surprised look, Jiang Tiecheng revealed a look of sudden realization.

"mother!"

Liu Cuie smiled encouragingly. As expected, the boss is still the boss.

Hurry up and tell me, tell me you don't need to borrow money from your own mother.

Jiang Tiecheng said earnestly,

"Mom, tell the neighbors that we'll pay it back once the second son gets his salary."

Second brother, from now on you will be the pillar of our family. Even if your older brother isn't capable, he can only suffer for the whole family.

When I go to the countryside, I will try not to cause trouble for my family, because I heard that people often don't have enough to eat there.

Second brother, from now on, I'll be counting on you for support.

These words immediately made Jiang Jincheng smug.

He patted his chest and said,

"Brother, don't worry, you've suffered for our family."

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, your younger brother will definitely help you."

"Mother, quickly borrow money for my eldest brother, I will pay it back."

Liu Cuie glared fiercely at her foolish son.

But it's really not appropriate to say anything more in front of the whole family and children.

After dinner, Liu Cuie went out for most of the day under the pretext of borrowing money.

Liu Cuie returned with a smile on her face.

They actually gave Jiang Tiecheng 80 yuan and 100 jin of grain coupons.

"Eldest brother, you're poor at home but rich on the road. This is the most money you can borrow. Keep it with you so you have something to rely on."

“The countryside is a tough place, and you’ve never farmed before. I can’t bear to let you go there and suffer.”

"Mother really wants to keep you by her side; Mother can't bear to part with you."

Jiang Tiecheng's eyes flickered as he clutched the money and food coupons in his hand. If he hadn't known about his past life...

They were probably really fooled by Liu Cuie's appearance as a kind mother.

"Mom, I'm also reluctant to leave you, but I'm the eldest in the family. If I don't suffer, who will?"

That's how it should be.

“From now on, let your younger siblings take care of you, then your son will be unfilial.”

Anyone can act out a story of "a loving mother and a filial son"!

The next morning, Liu Cuie gave Jiang Tiecheng some instructions.

"Eldest brother! The quilt and mattress I made for you are at your uncle's house. Go and get them."

Jiang Tiecheng nodded in agreement, picked up his worn-out military green satchel, and went straight out the door.

After waiting for about ten minutes at the alley entrance, they successfully stopped Jiang Jincheng's bicycle.

"elder brother!"

"Second brother, I'm going out to take care of some errands."

"Could you go to my uncle's house and get the bedding for me?"

Jiang Jincheng looked reluctant.

"Brother, I've already made plans with my friends."

Jiang Tiecheng put on a stern face.

"I don't want to go to the countryside. I'll go to the neighborhood director and ask if I can be replaced?"

Jiang Jincheng was startled upon hearing this and quickly said,

"Big brother, no, no, no, I'll go get you some bedding, okay?"

Jiang Jincheng rode his bicycle and turned into the alley where his uncle lived.

Jiang Tiecheng then headed straight for the train station without looking back.

When he went to register yesterday, the neighborhood director told him that there were two trains for educated youth going to the countryside.

He only said it was a trip tomorrow, but in reality, he had already decided to leave earlier.

Liu Cuie spared no effort in trying to capture him as a strong laborer.

No one would believe her story.

Let Jiang Jincheng face whatever dangers lie ahead.

He went directly to the train station with his letter of introduction in his hand. As soon as they heard that he was a sent-down youth, he was immediately arranged to sit in a special carriage.

Jiang Tiecheng, carrying a shoulder bag, found a seat by the window and sat down.

The train started moving with a clang, and Jiang Tiecheng's pounding heart finally calmed down.

Goodbye to those heartless ingrates!

Liu Cuie was washing clothes at home while looking towards the door, waiting for good news from her brother.
