The good wife and mother worked herself to death, and was reborn to win the game

"Cheng Jinnian, please explain to me where did you get the money to buy these things?"

Jiang Wan was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and was very rude when asking questions.

Cheng Jinnian had long guessed that Jiang Wan would definitely ask, but he didn't expect her to be so patient.

He has been making trouble for several days, and she only remembered to ask now.

No wonder they had so many misunderstandings before. It turns out that they are people with strong patience and are unwilling to actively communicate with others.

"borrowed."

Cheng Jinnian scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Borrowed? Where did you borrow it from?"

Jiang Wan never expected that Cheng Jinnian, the future strongest officer of the army, would one day be reduced to borrowing money from others.

"He is a colleague from the army. He lives in the next village. Isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? Some people from the army also come back to visit their families. I ran into him by chance when I was hunting in the mountains a few days ago."

"And then you asked someone to borrow money?"

Jiang Wan's jaw almost dropped in shock. Cheng Jinnian actually said that.

"When we were in the army, we were from the same village, so we had a pretty good relationship. He asked about my recent situation and learned that I was short of money, so he took the initiative to lend me 200 yuan."

As Cheng Jinnian spoke, he took out all the remaining money in his pocket.

"I bought cement, bricks, tiles, glass, and some miscellaneous items these days. In total, I have spent 100 yuan."

Cheng Jinnian had never bought anything before, so he didn’t know money was so easy to spend.

"I plan to use the remaining 100 yuan to buy some New Year's goods, and some clothes for you and the children. It's New Year's Day, and you should have everything that others have."

Cheng Jinnian clenched his fists and his expression became serious.

Cheng Jinnian’s explanation was clear enough, and Jiang Wan remained silent for a long time after listening to it.

"That's great. The family doesn't have a single cent in savings, and instead owes 200 yuan in foreign debt."

The smile on Jiang Wan's face was a little bitter, but his voice was teasing.

"This is our most difficult time, we just need to get through this period."

"I still have to pay the money back, and I can only send half of my monthly salary back. You won't blame me, right?"

Cheng Jinnian blushed when he said this. Look at what he had done in the first half of his life. He knew what kind of people his parents were, but he always liked to hide in his shell like a turtle.

He thought that if he didn't ask, everyone would be fine.

But he doesn't know that when he is relaxing, there is someone carrying the burden for him.

"will not."

Jiang Wan knew clearly that Cheng Jinnian bought these things in order to give him and his children a better living environment.

Otherwise it would be hard to live in this house when it rains.

She, an adult, can handle it, but it would be troublesome if the two children caught a cold.

Cheng Jinnian has limited vacation time, and every day he uses it is one less.

He always thought about making various preparations in unlimited time.

In the following time, Cheng Jinnian removed the torn newspapers from the windows and replaced them with new glass.

After the glass in the house was replaced, the light inside became much brighter. When the windows were closed, the cold outside was blocked out. Jiang Wan suddenly felt that the room was much warmer.

Jiang Wan looked at the house, which looked brand new after the glass was replaced, and felt a little uneasy.

"Cheng Jinnian, stop being so busy and take some time to find out about the family that Cheng Daqiang went to that day."

Cheng Jinnian had just finished installing the glass and was about to tear down the outside fence and rebuild the wall around the house when he heard Jiang Wan calling him.

He was so engrossed in his work that he didn't want to stop for a moment.

The main reason was that he didn’t have much time left and he wanted to finish decorating the house as soon as possible.

He was very confused by his wife's request, but he couldn't help but do it under her urging.

He put down the work in his hands, washed his hands, and hurried out without even changing his clothes.

When Jiang Wan saw Cheng Jinnian leaving, he quickly got up from the bed and put on his coat.

She quickly walked to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down.

These days, she seemed to be lying in bed resting, but in fact, she was thinking hard.

The materials provided by Cheng Daqiang allowed her to write three manuscripts in one go.

Jiang Wan can write a thousand words in half an hour, and the whole writing process can be described as flowing like water.

Because the entire manuscript was already recorded in her mind, she didn't even need to think while writing.

Jiang Wan originally wanted to submit an article, but then he thought that the Chinese New Year was just a few days away, the post office would be closed at this time, and the editorial department must have gone on holiday early.

Sending the manuscript now would be a pure hassle.

Cheng Jinnian went to the post office to ask for her, and was told that the magazine had gone on holiday early and the manuscript had not been reviewed yet, so there was no news yet.

Jiang Wan was already short of money at this time, and she was even more worried because she had not received any royalties.

I'm just hanging there in the middle, unable to speak or do anything with complete confidence.

Cheng Jinnian came back three hours later.

When he came back there was a strange look on his face.

"Cheng Jinnian, have you found out the news? What's the situation now?"

"It turns out that a widow lived in that house."

"Is there anyone else in the house besides the widow?"

Jiang Wan was a little excited in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.

"No, the widow's husband died two years ago, and her parents-in-law also passed away one after another. She couldn't have children due to physical reasons, so she has been alone ever since."

Jiang Wan did not ask Cheng Jinnian to check the specific information, but he still brought back the complete news.

Jiang Wan nodded. It was not difficult to see from the news brought back by Cheng Jinnian that Cheng Daqiang's cheating was a foregone conclusion.

The only uncertainty now is, does Aunt Li know about these things?

When Cheng Jinnian saw Jiang Wan suddenly become silent, he actually figured out the relationship.

"Cheng Daqiang cheated on the widow, will you tell Aunt Li about this?"

Jiang Wan shook his head uncertainly and said in a daze: "I don't know."

Aunt Li is a nice person and has helped her a lot during this period.

She really didn't want to disgust him with these things.

What if she already knew the truth and just compromised to save face?

She asked directly, how embarrassed would Aunt Li be?

But if she doesn't say it, Aunt Li will suffer a disaster in the near future.

Jiang Wan was already in a difficult situation at this time, but Aunt Li's matter was imminent, making her feel like she was being roasted on the fire, and she was extremely conflicted.

"Is anyone home? I'm here to bring soup to Jiang Wan!"

But I didn't expect Aunt Li to come over with a thermos bucket.

She suddenly appeared at Jiang Wan's door with a cup of hot soup in her hand.

Jiang Wan winked at Cheng Jinnian and said, "Go and invite Auntie in. I have something to say to her."

Cheng Jinnian knew what Jiang Wan was going to say, and he looked at her with some embarrassment.

"Auntie is a good person. Please be careful when you talk to her later."
