Chapter 142: Drilling into the Haystack



"Yes, I'll go with you."

Li Mingqing pushed his bicycle into the door without caring about anything else.

Yang Daya came over with her belly bulging, snatched the recommendation form and said, "Is this all I need?"

Her action frightened Zhang Lihua, who was afraid that she would tear it to pieces again.

“Be careful!”

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you afraid of? I'm just taking a look. How can I tear it apart?"

"Don't we have food stamps in the city?"

"I just heard from the people at the machinery factory today that the food coupons we have are not enough to feed our family. It's useless to have food coupons without food. During a famine, we might even be worse off than the people in the village."
