"Mom, I'm hungry!"
Upon entering the guesthouse, Jiang Yi asked for a single room. Just as she was considering how to make do with a meal, she heard her youngest daughter, Sanya, cry out that she was hungry.
"Wait a minute, Mom will go check!"
Now that she has left the Liu family and moved to the city, she can only rely on her daughters for survival. As a result, Jiang Yi's attitude towards her third daughter has to change accordingly.
I'm afraid I can't be a tiger mom. What if my daughters have a moment of weakness, get lost, or something goes wrong? I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life.
The guesthouse naturally wouldn't provide free meals.
As for whether you want to eat, it's simple. As long as you have money, anything is possible.
Of course, since Jiang Yi didn't have any food coupons, she had to pay a high price to eat.
However, none of this matters.
Jiang Yi currently has a thousand yuan in her hand, enough to last her until she can do business, which will likely be within the next year or two.
If you can't wait any longer, then go directly to the coastal cities.
Anyway, as long as she finds a place to stay, she'll be able to get through this period.
Jiang Yi got a bowl of rice, a braised pork, a braised eggplant, and a pot of water. She gave the waiter who was helping her a dime and, with his help, managed to get all the food back to her room.
The bowls and chopsticks were temporarily borrowed from the guesthouse.
"Mother, are you going to sell us?"
Seeing such a sumptuous meal startled Da Ya.
Why do you say that?
Jiang Yi frowned.
"Little Chrysanthemum at the west end of the village, when her mother sold her, she gave her a meal of meat!"
"..."
Jiang Yi wanted to cry when she heard this.
But she knew she couldn't cry.
"You're worthless!"
"It's not as pretty as those little chrysanthemums, it's skinny and bony, we can't sell it!"
"Hurry up and eat, then go to bed early. We'll have a lot to do tomorrow!"
"Mom, what are we busy with tomorrow?"
"Find a place to rent, and then Mom will have to ask around to find her a job!"
Jiang Yi sighed. She had lived three lifetimes, but she was only getting worse.
But what can be done?
Given the times, no matter how capable she is, under the current circumstances, all you can do is make minor adjustments. Can you really go against the tide?
Or perhaps they'll run outside?
Sorry, even if Jiang Yi were to die of poverty or starvation, she would never go to foreign territory and be subservient to others.
It's really lucrative to make money from foreigners.
The problem is, given her current state, if she goes outside, all she'll do is wash dishes, pick up trash, or help foreigners with construction. She'd have to be out of her mind to do that!
Seeing that Daya was eating very little, as if she was afraid of gaining weight and being sold, Jiang Yi reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Eat more, don't worry, Mother won't sell you!"
"From now on, we, mother and children, will depend on each other for survival!"
"Eat your fill, don't starve yourself to death!"
"We can't afford to get sick right now!"
Jiang Yi sighed.
They really can't afford to get sick now.
A thousand dollars is indeed a huge sum of money at this time, but the problem is that the money needed for medical treatment is even more terrifying than a huge sum of money.
Thinking about this thousand yuan, Jiang Yi wondered how the Liu family had managed to save so much money.
"Mother, are you really not going to sell us?"
"Not for sale!"
"Your mother is waiting for you to grow up and take care of me in my old age!"
Jiang Yi patted Da Ya on the shoulder, "Alright, eat more!"
