After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 9, Episode 0009: Before Going to the Countryside (Part 1)

The old man in the Qian family was very prolific; he had six sons and more than twenty grandchildren, all of whom were not too far apart in age.

Fan Lisheng rubbed his nose and replied without thinking much of it, "It's Qian Ermazi. His family got him a position as the deputy director of the committee, and he thinks he's superior to everyone else now, looking down on people all day long."

“He thought we were afraid of him, and he did all sorts of inhuman things. We didn’t bother with him to avoid getting dirty.”

Qian Ermazi's real name is Qian Changshui. He is the second grandson in the Qian family. Because of an illness he had as a child, his face is pockmarked, and he has always been called Qian Ermazi.

That shameless, ugly, 37-year-old divorced man dares to covet the goddess in his heart, a goddess whom no one else is worthy of.

Who can bear this?

Recently, Qian Ermazi has been having a really bad run of luck. He gets attacked wherever he goes and nothing goes right.

If they don't make him sleep with one eye open from now on, they don't deserve to be called "elders" or "sons of the family."

Huo Han's eyes darkened, and he turned and left.

Seeing him walk towards the door, Fan Lisheng quickly followed, turning a corner. "Hey, Lao Huo, where are you going? Didn't we agree to have dinner at my aunt's house today?"

His aunt even wants to introduce him to someone.

Lin Yuexi's health was so poor that she fell asleep leaning against the back of her chair before even returning to the compound.

Ren Yan was prepared and opened the umbrella to cover Lin Yuexi's entire upper body, thus blocking both the sun and the wind.

When Lin Yuexi woke up, she found herself in her own room.

She didn't get up immediately, but first checked her deliveries for the day.

Honestly, doesn't she know that Xiao Renzi is someone she's protecting? How dare she steal from her?

If she doesn't come back to me, she won't be surnamed Lin.

When the small, worn-out bag was opened, the huge pile of things almost blinded Lin Yuexi.

The total amount of money was 135 yuan, including cloth coupons, cotton coupons, towel coupons, soap coupons, toothpaste coupons, toothbrush coupons, cup coupons, grain coupons, meat coupons, oil coupons, sugar coupons, pastry coupons, and so on.

Money wasn't a concern for her; she was quite well-off.

Tickets are truly hard to come by.

Don't be fooled by her father's military background and high salary; he only gets a limited number of coupons each month, and they're never complete. Take toothpaste coupons, for example—he only gets one every three months. Cup coupons are even worse—only two a year.

Now you need coupons to buy anything. If you have money but no coupons, you can't spend it.

Her parents pampered her, so the monthly allowance was never enough, and her grandfather had to subsidize it.

As a result, her mother's relationship with her aunt became very bad.

The night before her father left, he went to the old man's place again and brought back a bag full of tickets. I wonder if her aunt scolded him until midnight again.

Getting off-topic, let's get back to the point. It seems the person we encountered today is a master thief; look at these tickets, they're all valid nationwide.

Ren Yan guessed that Lin Yuexi should be awake, so she pushed open the door and peeked in. When she saw that Lin Yuexi was awake, the first thing she did was touch her forehead to check her temperature.

"I made you steamed egg custard with a few drops of sesame oil. It smells so good."

As he spoke, he helped her up. "I'm going to buy some things for our trip to the countryside later, and I'll also send some things from home first. If you feel unwell, remember to call Aunt Li next door. I've already told her."

Lin Yuexi knew she was frightened yesterday, but she didn't ask any more questions. Right now, she was just maintaining the original owner's quiet and obedient persona. She would talk about her thoughts later when she went to the countryside.

Although her parents are not around, everyone living around her is an acquaintance, and they are all acquaintances from military academies!

After she finished her bowl of steamed egg custard, Ren Yan washed the dishes and hurriedly left with the money and tickets given to her by Lin Yuexi.

About an hour later, he returned with bags and packages hanging all over his body.

"I've already sent the thick clothes and quilts to Brother Leng. As for the coupons you gave me that were about to expire, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought everything I could, and sent out all the heavy ones as well."

While washing her face, Ren Yan reported to Lin Yuexi, "The bill is on the table, please check if there are any discrepancies."

Lin Yuexi picked up the notebook on the table and glanced at it, without saying anything like "I believe you don't need to look at it." Ren Yan had her own pride and her own principles.

"I'll go to the department store with you this afternoon. Let's use all the tickets from Beijing for them."

Ren Yan had already rolled up her sleeves to cook, but when she heard this, she poked her head out of the kitchen with a troubled look on her face: "Xi Xi, are you still going out? It seems like things are a bit...unpleasant outside lately."

"Let's walk towards the municipal party committee building."

Ren Yan thought about it and still disagreed.

She knew that Xixi wasn't as timid as people said, and she wouldn't usually be completely frightened by that scene!

Moreover, the current situation is truly illogical, and she dares not gamble with Xixi.

Lin Yuexi thought about it and finally gave up going out. Indeed, her body was in too bad shape right now, and she had to take the train the day after tomorrow. She should stay quiet and rest for the next few days.

For the next two days, Ren Yan was like a hamster, carrying one or two bags to the post office every day, until the post office staff all recognized her.

Lin Yuexi wasn't completely idle either; she hid everything in the house except for the things that were visible inside into her spatial storage.

Her parents left in a hurry. They received the notice in the morning and took the train at noon. They didn't have time to go home and pack. Only Xiao Luo came back to sort out some clothes for the couple and the money they had left at home.

When Xiao Luo returned, he brought back Leng Zhi's instructions: the savings book was in the bedside table next to their bed, and Xiao Luo was to withdraw the money from the savings book, divide it into four parts, and let Lin Yuexi take all the money, one part for each of the four children. Lin Yuexi was to find an opportunity to give the money to her three older brothers after she arrived in Heilongjiang Province.

Also, apart from the things Lin Yuexi wanted to take with her, she didn't want anything else in the house and left it for the next person to live there.

The couple were generous, but Lin Yuexi, a child from the apocalypse, was narrow-minded.

Why?

They framed people and then tried to take advantage of them. What's the difference between that and cannibalism?
