Happiness System

In the short term, if Jing Zhan does not pay his living expenses, Sheng Yunlan will only have the shop rent of 180 yuan per month to use.

Oh, plus the two thousand yuan she had taken out but had not yet used.

This amount of money is indeed a lot for most people, but Sheng Yunlan feels a strong sense of crisis.

She still remembered Jing Zhan's ups and downs, and it seemed that he had suffered a major setback during this period of time.

She didn't know the situation on Jing Zhan's side and didn't know where to start. It seemed that she couldn't count on him.

She had confidence in the shop, but before she could get any dividends, she had to use the two thousand yuan to secure her own life.

She has to save 400 yuan for her brother and younger brother's tuition and living expenses when the new school starts. During the New Year, she also took on the responsibility of buying New Year's goods for her mother-in-law's family. Add other expenses, and she will have to spend at least 500 yuan.

Then Zhang Xiaogui's monthly salary is 150 yuan, plus daily expenses...

This account really cannot be calculated. She feels anxious when she starts to calculate it!

While Jing Zhan was still at home and he still had money, Sheng Yunlan quickly bought everything she needed.

Jing Zhan noticed that his wife was a little anxious. After all, she had been immersed in the business world for two years after retiring. He immediately guessed the reason.

Just think about it, I have tens of thousands of dollars in my hands, and it has shrunk so much in an instant...

I can understand!

The next day, Jing Zhan sensibly gave Sheng Yunlan two thousand in cash, "Xiao Lan, the shop is now open, and I don't need to worry about it with my elder sister and the others here.

Sister Gui is at home, and your brother and younger brother will be here in a couple of days. With them around, I can feel at ease about you and the children.

I would like to revisit the projects I visited before, and I will try to come back before the New Year.

You can use these two thousand to buy New Year's goods and buy new clothes for yourself and my two brothers-in-law..."

This is also what his brothers taught him, you must be punctual and prompt when handing over the household income!

Sheng Yunlan put the money away with a smile on her face. Seeing Jing Zhan packing his luggage, she did not make any more trouble and sat on the bed, watching quietly.

When he had almost finished cleaning up, he said, "Brother Zhan, I actually know a little bit about metaphysics.

I see your forehead is a little gray and black...

In short, you should be careful of villains recently, especially those around you, be careful and guard against them!"

Jing Zhan smiled helplessly, "No wonder you, a sibling from the same mother, don't do as well as your uncle in school. It turns out that you're focusing on other things! If you focus on studying, your grades will definitely not be worse than your uncle's!"

Sheng Yunlan leaned her head on his shoulder, skipped the part about looking for her mother, and said with a giggle: "If I hadn't failed the exam and had to go to the city to work, how could I have met a man as good as Brother Zhan?"

Jing Zhan put his hand on her belly and touched it. "If you go to college, you will have better choices and meet better people."

Sheng Yunlan shook her head, "You are the best choice."

Given the situation in the Sheng family, even if she scored better than Sheng Yunchao in the exam, her father and mother would not care about her. If the situation was better, one of them would drop out of school to support the other two. If the situation was worse, both siblings would drop out of school to support their younger brother.

There are no student loans now, and it is impossible for a village to support a scholar with the entire family's strength as in ancient times.

Their loving grandparents have passed away, and no one has made plans for them, so they cannot avoid dropping out of school.

Another thing is, in an era when the average salary is around 200 yuan, which husband would give a daughter 2,000 or 3,000 yuan for living expenses?

Sheng Yunlan estimated that Jing Zhan only had about 100,000 yuan in his hands, and this money was all his capital.

All in all, Jing Zhan is no worse than anyone else except for his bad luck!

"By the way, if I'm not at home, the motorcycle will be easily stolen and damaged, so I lent it to my eldest brother. If my brother-in-law and his family come over and need it, you call me and I'll ask my eldest brother to return it!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Jing Zhan hurriedly gave a few instructions and went out.

During this period, he has been driving a car and a motorcycle alternately. Of course, he drives the motorcycle most of the time. Apart from being cold, the motorcycle is indeed more convenient than the car.

Jing's father had been jealous of his second-hand motorcycle for a long time. This time when he got a new car, he gave the old one directly to Jing's father.

Sheng Yunlan didn't know that Jing Zhan was very courageous. When he went to help with the various procedures for the shop, he also mortgaged his car to the bank to borrow some money.

Jing Zhan was a man who listened to advice. He was sure that his wife would not say anything without reason. The moment he stepped out of the house, he began to think and investigate, and he really discovered some unusual things.

Sheng Yunlan naturally didn't know what was going on over there. Without the economic crisis for the time being, Sheng Yunlan lived a happy life.

Every day when she woke up, Zhang Xiaogui had already gone to the market to buy vegetables and cooked breakfast. She got up, had breakfast, went out for a walk with Zhang Xiaogui, and then went home to watch TV, read the newspaper, etc., and stayed up until noon.

After lunch, I took a nap, got up and took the bus to the shop to have a free afternoon tea, listened to gossip and chatted there, and then went home for dinner...

The days passed quickly and easily.

Three days later, Sheng Yunchao and his younger brother Sheng Yunqiang rushed to Jiangcheng. Zhang Xiaogui handed over his work and hurried back to his hometown to pick up his son.

"My vacation starts two days earlier than my high school. Since I haven't been home for half a year and won't be spending the New Year at home, I decided to go back and pay respect to my grandparents."

Sheng Yunchao was silent for a moment before continuing, "The man and his new wife are living well. She looks much older but has more energy.

The woman has a pair of children who are in primary school...

All the rooms in the house have been cleared out. Yun Qiang and I have been staying at the village chief's house for the past two days. I packed up your things and brought them here."

This time when he returned, the father and son were like strangers. The man didn't even ask him how he and his younger brothers and sisters were doing outside. When he saw him, he dodged and walked away with his head down.

Later, when he went back to get something, he heard his biological father arguing with the woman he later married.

That person said that he would not spend a penny on them anymore, saying that they had the blood of that woman in their veins and were all ungrateful, selfish bastards...

He had never expected fatherly love, but he still couldn't help but feel chilled when he heard those words.

"That's great!" Sheng Yunlan smiled, "It's really great, we've all grown up, and there's someone taking care of him so he doesn't have to worry about anything, and grandpa and grandma can rest assured too.

The sky is high and the earth is far away, so we can fly freely. From now on, we will only consider our own future prospects..."

She patted her brother on the shoulder and said, "Study hard and get into big brother's class in the future!"

Then he looked at Sheng Yunchao and said, "Brother, try to stay in Beijing after graduation and don't think about coming back.

Brother Zhan has been investigating projects recently, and I think his focus is on other places. I guess when the kids are older and his place is stable, we will follow him out.

With that woman here, I actually don’t like Jiang City that much.

After abandoning her husband and children, that woman's life was not as good as we thought. She..."

Sheng Yunlan told the original owner everything that happened after she came to Jiang City, including how she got together with Jing Zhan, and how that woman deceived her after marriage.

Sheng Yunchao's eyes were red and veins popped up when he heard this. After a while, all his strength was gone. He sat down on the sofa dejectedly and smiled bitterly, "Forget it. We are destined to have no parental ties. From now on, the three of us will depend on each other."

"I have been without a mother since I was a child, and I will never have a father either!" Sheng Yunqiang lowered his head with red eyes and quietly wiped away the tears in his eyes.

The two brothers were feeling sad when Sheng Yunlan's stomach started to growl.

She held her stomach awkwardly, "Hey, these two little guys are hungry! Come on, pack up and take you out for a big meal!"

"Don't waste it, we can just eat a little bit!" Sheng Yunchao hurriedly stopped her and went into the kitchen first. As a result, the refrigerator was naturally no different from empty.

It’s not that Zhang Xiaogui forgot to buy groceries, but Sheng Yunlan specifically told her not to buy too much because she would take everyone out for dinner tonight.

Sheng Yunlan smiled and said, "Let's go to the restaurant outside the community to eat. The sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour pork there are both very good. I like to eat something with a sweet and sour taste recently."

There was no food or space to cook at home, so the two brothers had to go out to eat.

Sheng Yunlan's belly is already six months old, and because she is pregnant with twins, her belly looks bigger than other women's bellies when they are about to give birth. Sheng Yunchao supported her carefully, fearing that she would trip because she couldn't see the road under her feet.

It was only a ten-minute journey, but Sheng Yunlan was fine, but he was so anxious that he broke into a sweat.

The next day, after breakfast, Sheng Yunlan took the Sheng brothers out.

She planned to take them to the shop to have a look, to ease the brothers' worries and let them spend money without any psychological burden.

Recently, Sister Zhang likes to come over after get off work every day to visit and report on the store's business situation. Their positioning is accurate, and it is winter and summer vacation, so the store has a constant flow of customers, and the daily revenue is one or two thousand!

Of course, this is because the store has just opened and the summer vacation has just begun, so everyone is still interested. Once things stabilize, I estimate that if the store can reach around 500, it won’t be bad.

In short, as long as the shop can continue to operate safely, Sheng Yunlan will basically not have to worry about money in a few months.

After all, Sheng Yunchao was studying in Beijing, the capital of the motherland, a place more prosperous than Jiang City, and he had seen the world.

Looking at this snack shop that combines Chinese and Western styles in front of him, he did not show any surprise or astonishment. Instead, he began to observe and study it with great interest.

Sheng Yunqiang's performance was very consistent with his image as a country bumpkin who was full of curiosity when he first came to the city.

It was a small peak time when they arrived and everyone was a little overwhelmed, so Sheng Yunlan went into the kitchen to help. Sheng Yunchao was also very attentive and took his brother to help clean the table.

After the peak hour, they had lunch in the shop. In the afternoon, Sheng Yunlan took the two brothers to the nearby pedestrian street to buy clothes while dozing off.

I had sent them money before and asked them to buy clothes, but the two brothers were reluctant to spend it. The only warm and decent clothes they had were the ones that Sheng Yunlan sent them.

The clothes on the pedestrian street are more cost-effective. You can buy three sets of clothes here with the money you spend on one set of clothes in the mall. But it also requires a good eye. Whether you can find good goods depends on your luck and eyesight.

The Sheng brothers are all students, and they value comfort and affordability, so it is easy to choose. In less than an hour, Sheng Yunlan matched two sets of clothes for them.
