After a trip to the county town, Jiang Yi spent almost all of the fifty yuan left by Gu Yunzhong, and that wasn't the end of it; she still owed three hundred yuan in debt.
Renting a place and buying ingredients for making braised meat both cost money.
If it weren't for the good fortune of meeting Sister Liu, Jiang Yi might really have had to start from picking up trash.
Although she didn't care whether picking up trash was shameful or not, given Pingcheng's economic situation, it would take a long time to earn her first pot of gold by picking up trash.
Originally, Jiang Yi planned to open a braised meat shop with Liu Shufang, but Liu Shufang was a very principled person and refused Jiang Yi's suggestion outright.
Jiang Yi did not tell Gu's mother the truth about borrowing money to open a shop, mainly because she was worried that the mother would object.
Of course, there's another point: Jiang Yi is quite afraid that if her father-in-law and mother-in-law find out that she borrowed money to open the shop, they will take the initiative to pay off Liu Shufang's debt.
The reason for her fear was that Jiang Yi didn't want her hard-earned business to ultimately become Gu Jia's business.
She and Gu Yunzhong were destined to have no connection whatsoever.
Rather than getting entangled later, it's better to cut ties clearly from this moment on.
As for asking Gu's mother to go to the city to help take care of Xiaolingdang, Jiang Yi felt no pressure at all, because Xiaolingdang was Gu's granddaughter.
It's perfectly reasonable for a grandmother to take care of her granddaughter.
After Xiaolingdang fell asleep, Jiang Yi was still planning for the future.
Then, she fell asleep without realizing it.
Jiang Yi slept soundly until dawn, when she was woken up by the little bell.
"Mom, shall we move to the city today?"
"Yes, does Little Bell like it?"
"I like it, but I don't like it!"
The little cutie tilted her head, her little mouth slightly pouting, "The city is great, but I can't see the grass and stones every day anymore. What should I do if I want to play with them?"
"Well, when we get to the city, you'll meet other kids, and you can play with them!"
"There are no grandparents in the city!"
What should I do if I miss them?
"That's even simpler. We'll bring Grandpa and Grandma to the city too."
"I see, I'm fine now!"
"Well, Mommy's going to make breakfast now. What would you like to eat, Little Bell?"
"Mom, what do we have at home?"
"Well……"
Jiang Yi was instantly dumbfounded.
She had forgotten that there was no rice or flour in the jar in this house.
There are only a few chickens left. They laid two eggs yesterday, so let's have fried eggs!
We'll grab a quick bite to tide us over, and once we get to our rented place in the city, we'll have something to eat.
At this time, grain ration coupons were no longer necessary to buy grain.
Of course, buying grain without ration coupons would be slightly more expensive. But that slight difference was negligible for Jiang Yi.
With her career about to take off, she has no worries about not making money.
After making and eating the fried eggs, Jiang Yi took Xiao Lingdang and went to the house of Gu's parents in the back. She had gone to the city today and would not be back for a while.
Yesterday, Gu's mother didn't give her a definite answer, so Jiang Yi is going to ask her today.
In fact, even if Gu's mother was unwilling to go to the city with her, Jiang Yi wouldn't be too disappointed. It would just mean that her attitude towards the two elders would be slightly different from then on.
Jiang Yi is not a saint; she is very realistic.
She treats others the way they treat her.
As a result, when Jiang Yi and Xiao Lingdang arrived at the back, they found that her mother-in-law had already prepared everything, including bedding and mosquito nets for sleeping in the city.
On the contrary, Jiang Yi only thought about going to the city, so she only brought Huanxi's clothes and forgot her bedding and mosquito net.
Seeing her mother-in-law's thorough preparations, Jiang Yi felt truly ashamed.
