Chapter 168 I have to think of a way out for myself
Dongjie Hutong, the west wing of the slum.
"Brother Hongzhe, have you been home?" Wang Paner asked cautiously.
Duan Hongzhe's face, which had been cold since he entered the door, became even darker. After a pause, he took out the money from his trouser pocket and handed it over.
Wang Paner took it with a smile, not bothering to look at Duan Hongzhe's expression.
There is no rice left at home, but they still have to eat!
Wang Paner's smiling face fell after she saw the denomination of the face in her hand.
"Brother Hongzhe, why is it only ten yuan? Didn't they say they would give twenty yuan a month?"
"The food coupons are not much. Even if we exchange them all for food, they won't last long."
"What shall I do?"
She had always dreamed of being a city dweller, but when she really arrived in the city, she realized how difficult life was.
It's not like in the countryside, where you can always sow some vegetable seeds in front of or behind your house, or go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, or chop firewood for burning, which always saves a lot of money.
In the city, people used honeycomb coal for burning, grain, vegetables and meat were supplied according to tickets, and the prices on the black market were ridiculously high.
Because Duan Hongzhe was only a temporary worker, his salary was only a dozen yuan a month, and she had no income at all.
The Duan family had previously promised to give them twenty yuan a month, as well as additional food coupons.
Because there were only two of them, their life was pretty bearable and they could even have some meat every now and then.
But now if this is all the money they have, they will probably have to eat thin porridge for every meal for the rest of their lives.
Hearing Wang Paner's question, Duan Hongzhe's face became even uglier.
The look of disdain from his father just now kept lingering in his mind.
His stepmother even reduced the amount by half, saying that it was up to him to take it or not, and it could be considered alms to a beggar.
"That's all... they've given us, so spend it sparingly!" Duan Hongzhe took a long time to get out a word.
"This is not enough even if I save it!" Wang Pan'er frowned in embarrassment. She had planned to buy some refined grains after getting the money, but now she can only eat coarse grains.
Duan Hongzhe's eyes darkened, "Pan'er, didn't you say something bad would happen to the Ning family?"
"I sneaked into Jingda today to ask, and the Ning family is alive and well."
"Do you know the exact time when they had the accident?"
"What? Nothing happened?" Wang Paner stood up in an instant, and the money in her hand fell to the ground.
"Can you remember the exact time?" Duan Hongzhe picked up the money, took Wang Paner's hand and sat down.
"I, I can't remember clearly, it should be recently." Wang Paner's face changed, but she still forced a smile.
Wang Paner's heart is far less calm than her appearance.
In her previous life, she remembered it very clearly. The time when the villagers said the Ning family had an accident was exactly three days ago.
The reason why she remembered it so clearly was because this day was only ten days away from her birthday.
How could this life be different?
Will anything happen to the Ning family? Will they still get the fertilizer formula?
What happened in the previous life, will not happen again in this life?
Then how much use can her prophecy have!
"Pan'er, what's wrong with you? Your hands are so cold." Duan Hongzhe took Wang Pan'er's hands, rubbed them, and put them on his face.
"I'm fine, maybe I'm not wearing enough." If it were any other time, Wang Paner would have lowered her head shyly.
But now she was entangled in the complicated thoughts in her heart and could only force a stiff smile.
"I'm relieved that you're okay, Pan'er. You're more important than anything else."
"Once we get the fertilizer formula, let's go get the certificate!" Duan Hongzhe coaxed in a low voice, his lowered tone carrying a hint of coaxing.
Although Duan Hongzhe spoke sweet words, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Wang Paner, something seems to be wrong.
Today, she seemed particularly indifferent and did not keep emphasizing her own contributions.
Duan Hongzhe thought for a while, then pulled his thoughts back.
Anyway, Wang Pan'er is right under his nose, so he doesn't think she can cause any trouble.
If we can really get the fertilizer formula this time and prove Wang Paner's value, we have to help tie her up quickly.
Duan Hongzhe had never thought about getting a marriage certificate with Wang Paner before, but now he has changed his mind.
Wang Paner, who possesses the power of prophecy, must stay by his side.
Duan Hongzhe even planned to let Wang Pan'er give birth to their child as soon as possible, so that she would definitely plan for him more wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately, all his efforts during this period have not yet made Wang Paner pregnant.
Wang Paner's belly is really disappointing!
And now Wang Pan'er has no interest in romance anymore.
The experiences during this period have made her filter towards Duan Hongzhe disappear a lot.
Especially since she returned to Beijing and followed Duan Hongzhe, she couldn't even get enough to eat.
If they can get the Ning family's fertilizer formula this time, they can really turn things around.
But now something has happened and everything is uncertain.
If this fails, how will they survive based on Duan Hongzhe's temporary worker salary?
If she didn't become the wife of the richest man, she would starve to death first.
It seems that she has to think of a way out for herself...
…
…
Shen Anan waved his hand in front of Shen Yuanjun in silence, "Third brother, did you hear me?"
"Ah, what did you say?"
Shen Anan: …
Love is really unreasonable. From yesterday to today, her third brother would hold the knife Qin Qing gave him and smile foolishly whenever he had free time.
Shen Anan blamed everything on Shen Yuanjun being single for too long and temporarily forgave him for being distracted.
"I mean, I want to go and see the house given by Aunt Fu and the others, and ask if you want to go." Shen Anan could only repeat it again.
"Go, I'll go with you." Shen Yuanjun put the dagger carefully into the box and turned around and said.
"But I have something else to do in the morning. Can we go in the afternoon?"
"Okay, Third Brother, where is your unit? I'll go find you tomorrow at noon. We'll go straight to the house after dinner."
"No need, just wait for me in the guesthouse, I'll pick you up." Shen Yuanjun proposed another plan. His joining the Hua'an Department had to be kept secret from his family, so he couldn't let An An come to pick him up.
He also made an agreement with Minister Zhou that the Shen family's letters would be sent directly to the troops in Beijing and then forwarded to him.
It is safer for his family not to know what he is doing, both for him and for them.
Because of the improvement of his mental strength, Shen Anan keenly felt Shen Yuanjun's hesitation.
Shen Anan curled her lips, humph, quite mysterious!
In fact, she could guess a little from what Minister Zhou said at the train station.
She also didn't know whether the changes brought about by the flapping of her butterfly wings would be good for Shen Yuanjun.
But it seems that Shen Yuanjun himself is willing, so that's fine.
"Okay, then come back early."
"Well, wait for me obediently."
