I Want to Eat Meat (2)
He didnât have that much capital, so he could only crack open his savings to open up new strongholds and recruit more people.
Before he could roll it out in full gear, he first needed to find a high-quality residential district to test the waters.
So far, everything was fine, but in one night, his finances went back to the pre-Liberation era.
The family had to start living frugally.
Jiang Xiumei had nothing to say.
She had lived for a long time, and she understood just by seeing it.
There were still a few acres of fertile land back in the village, as well as their ancestral house. If they really could not live here anymore, she could just return to the village to work the farm, grow vegetables, and raise pigs.
They could survive any kind of life.
Poor child. Jiang Xiumei said patiently, âLife is no longer as easy as it was. Xiaoman, follow Grandma to endure hardships for a while, so we can save money for your uncle. This is a critical point where he lacks money; we canât be holding him back.â
Jiang Xiaoman was a good kid.
She had followed Jiang Xiumei since she was small and was not afraid of suffering. Although she was rebellious and naughty now, she was still sensible when things got serious.
After hearing that, she took out her private savings and gave them to Grandma.
All her New Yearâs money was kept there, a bunch of red envelopes containing a few cents each. All in all, they didnât add up to more than ten yuan.
Normally, Jiang Xiaoman really treasured her money. She usually took them to the canteen to buy some sweets, or used them to call her uncle.
Two cents could be used to call for one minute. She would look at the screen closely and hang up as soon as the time was up, not wasting even a little. If she exceeded the time, she would be charged another two cents.
But now, she planned to give them all away.
Jiang Xiumei didnât know whether to laugh or cry. She didnât take Jiang Xiaomanâs money, letting her keep it instead.
When she thought about it, it seemed that her education in enduring hardships was already enough. She planned to let her eat some meat tonight and have a nice dinner.
Who wouldâve known that when Jiang Xiaoman went to school, she immediately fell flat on the table and cried bitterly.
When she thought about how there would be no more meat to eat in the future, she felt very miserable.
