Chapter 138: Earning Money to Raise a Child
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, He Qingshan came back covered in sweat.
By chance, he lived in a tube-shaped building next to the school. He met an old man as soon as he entered the door. After asking a few questions, he found out that the building was a house that someone was planning to rent out. The landlord was a teacher at the provincial university and was a very nice person.
He Qingshan immediately went to knock on the door, took a rough look at the house, paid the rent, signed a contract, and got the key!
The landlord lived on the third floor and rented out the vacant house on the first floor. Seeing that He Qingshan was tall and handsome and looked like a stable and reliable person, he rented the house to He Qingshan at a price lower than the market price.
Then, He Qingshan borrowed the landlord's mop and rag and cleaned the house inside and out before going to pick up Su Ningning and Zhang Meiqi.
After Su Ningning and Zhang Meiqi moved into the house, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at the clean small two-bedroom apartment and they both liked it very much!
Everything was settled, but He Qingshan couldn't stay for long. He had things to do in Inner Mongolia, so he hurriedly bought a bunch of rice, flour, oil, vegetables and other things for his mother and wife, and turned around to board the train heading north.
In fact, Su Ningning and Zhang Meiqi felt a little sad when He Qingshan left, but fortunately they had each other to accompany them, so they didn't feel it was a big deal.
Zhang Meiqi didn't let Su Ningning do housework, so Su Ningning took some time out, before school started, to try to write a novel of about 30,000 words. If it was successfully submitted, she could get more royalties.
Once she gets the royalties, she can do more porn.
Su Ningning devoted herself to writing, and within a few days she got used to life in the provincial capital. She had a good ability to adapt.
On the first day, Su Ningning discovered something unusual about Zhang Meiqin.
Every time Zhang Meiqin finished her housework, she would say that she was bored at home and wanted to go out for a walk. Every time she came back after going out, her clothes were a little messy and she looked a little tired.
Su Ningning knew what kind of person her mother-in-law Zhang Meiqin was. If she asked directly, Zhang Meiqin probably wouldn't tell her, so this time, she took advantage of Zhang Meiqin's inattention and quietly followed her out.
After leaving the tube-shaped building, Zhang Meiqi took out a nylon bag and a pair of fire tongs that she had prepared. She walked to the place where residents dumped garbage, enduring the stench of the garbage dump in the hot summer, and rummaged through the garbage bit by bit, picking out some cardboard, glass bottles, metal objects and the like, and then put them in the bag.
When Su Ningning saw Zhang Meiqin coming out to pick up trash for the first time, her eyes turned red and she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart!
It's such a hot day, and Zhang Meiqi is a person who loves beauty and cleanliness, so she came here to pick up trash, definitely to make money!
She walked up to him, her voice choking: "Mom..."
Zhang Meiqin was startled and turned around quickly. She was also a little surprised when she saw Su Ningning. She hurried over, walked to her and then took a few steps back: "Oh, Ningning, why did you come out! I stink! Go home quickly! I was thinking about you studying at home, and I don’t want to disturb you at home. I feel bored at home! I came out to pick up some waste so that I can sell it for some money to supplement my life! I didn’t know until I came to the provincial capital that the prices in Jiayu City are not expensive. It’s only in the provincial capital that they are expensive! Cabbages are everywhere in our hometown, but here they cost eight cents a pound! Oh my god..."
Su Ningning looked at her quietly. Zhang Meiqin felt a little guilty: "You, you go back first."
But Su Ningning said, "Mom, you should go back too. It's so hot, and you like to be clean. You won't make much money by picking up waste. Leave the money-making to me and Qingshan."
Zhang Meiqin insisted on not going back. She was so anxious that she said, "You have three babies in your belly! You see, no matter what you prepare, you have to prepare three portions! These are not small expenses, and, and..."
She was a little bit speechless, but Zhang Meiqin was not the type who could keep things to herself, so she finally said, "You know what? I don't know if I was dazzled that day, but I actually saw someone who looked very much like Su Lanlan! I was so scared, afraid that she would show up again one day and cause trouble for you! When we live in this world, we feel more secure if we have money in our pockets. I just want to make more money so that I won't be afraid. No matter what happens, we have money in our pockets!"
