Reborn with wealth that rivals the country.

The continued decline of Sakura coins has caused Sakura people to complain.

Originally, 100 Sakura coins were needed to import one pound of meat to make one sausage.

Now it costs more than 170 Sakura coins to process a sausage.

Unless the Sakura people take the initiative to reduce their food intake, they will have to ask for 70% more money on any product.

At first glance, 70% doesn’t seem to be anything to be afraid of.

But if you do the math, it's terrifying.

For example, if you earn 1 yuan a month, your daily expenses would only be 3000 yuan, and you would still have 7000 yuan left every month to do other things.

But after the cost increased by 70%, you have to pay an extra 2100 yuan for daily expenses, and you will only have 4900 yuan left every month. And this 4900 yuan is not the same 4900 yuan as before, and you can only buy 30% of the goods before.

This is still a high income. What if your income is only 3000 yuan?

A 70% increase in expenses can make it impossible for you to maintain your daily expenses. You can only make ends meet by reducing three meals to two and not engaging in any consumption activities.

a few days later.

As the top leaders of Sakura Country remained silent and did nothing, the exchange rate of Sakura Coin once dropped to 200 to 1.

This has caused all the Sakura residents to fall into extreme panic.

In the Jiangdong district of Yingdu, there was already a hundred-meter-long queue at the supermarket at six in the morning.

Full-time housewife Sato Eiko clutched a crumpled shopping list and stared at the notice on the glass door that read "Today's purchase of eggs is limited to two boxes."

I remember that three weeks ago, I could buy five boxes for the same price.

The old man in front of me in line suddenly fainted, and when the paramedics carried him away, they left leaflets with the words “Rally to protest against skyrocketing prices – Big Bartender Park Sunday at 12 noon” printed on them.

Sato Eiko felt very upset, and even though the sun was shining brightly, she still let out a long sigh.

Eiko Sato finally grabbed the last pack of discounted udon noodles, leaving white marks on the plastic packaging with her nails.

Standing in front of the cashier, Junji Nakamura was putting his lunch back - the plum rice ball worth 880 Sakura coins was more than his hourly wage. Today he planned to eat rice with the company's free tea as tea rice, which would save some money.

A female student working in a convenience store secretly stuffed expiring rice balls into her schoolbag. The store manager pretended not to see it, but he knew that the female student hadn't had a full meal for several days.

The sudden drop in exchange rates disrupted everyone's life.

After shopping, Sato Eiko went back home.

She hesitated for a long time, then sighed, took out her daughter's violin, and went to a pawn shop.

However, when Sato Eiko arrived at the pawn shop, she was shocked to find that it was packed with housewives.

Many housewives pawned their diamond rings, jewelry, etc. with tears in their eyes.

When Sato Eiko placed the violin in front of the boss, she saw half a moldy salmon rice ball stuffed in the case - that was the lunch money that her daughter had secretly saved.

The boss held a cigarette in his mouth, looked down at the violin, and said disdainfully: "Sorry, we only accept gold bars and US dollars here now. Anything else is not acceptable."

Sato Eiko held the piano in despair and left in shame.

When passing by a port, Sato Eiko happened to see a scalper who was reselling the national currency being pinned to the ground by plainclothes police.

Turning around, we saw that containers were piled up at the port terminal but no one was unloading them - because importers would rather pay detention fees and wait for the Sakura Coin to continue to depreciate.

A homeless man under a roadside tree was collecting water from the park's fountain and had made a fire, preparing to cook expired instant noodles he had picked up from a convenience store.

To Sato Eiko, everything seemed so ridiculous and sad.

Her life was fine just a week ago, how come it suddenly became like this?

When she returned home, Sato Eiko found that her husband had already returned.

"Why are you home so early, dear?" Sato Eiko asked with concern.

The depressed husband took a deep breath and said, "Wife, I, I was laid off."

This news was like a bolt from the blue.

Sato Eiko forced herself to maintain a smile and consoled him, "It's okay. If you lose your job, you can just find another one. Life has to go on, right?"

The husband said nothing.

They both knew deep down how hard it was to find a job these days.

A large number of students graduating from prestigious universities cannot find jobs, let alone a 35-year-old unemployed middle-aged man like him.

"I'll cook for you, don't worry, it will get over."

Gentle Sato Eiko comforted.

My husband also had an uncomfortable meal.

In the past, every meal in their family would have at least one fish or meat dish such as chicken or pork, and vegetables and fruits after meals were also indispensable.

But what is Sato Eiko cooking today?

Crush the biscuits and add them to the rice, plus a bowl of soup made with snack seaweed.

No meat, no vegetables, no fruit, not even a raw egg!

"Can you give me an egg with some soy sauce?" the husband complained a little.

"If you eat it, your daughter will have nothing to eat. Just be patient with it." Sato Eiko sighed.

Upon hearing this, the husband remained silent.

Soon, daughter Liangsen Lingling came home.

"Mom, this semester's tuition and uniform fees need to be paid."

Ryoumori Lingling blinked her innocent big eyes and hugged Sato Eiko with a smile.

Sato Eiko glanced at her husband, but her husband lowered his head sadly.

After paying this month's mortgage and car loan, he no longer had any money left.

What's more, he was fired from the company.

He really didn't know how to explain to his daughter.

"How much is it?" Sato Eiko suppressed the pain in her heart and forced a smile before asking.

"143 million." Liang Sen Lingling said.

"Why so many?"

Sato Eiko took a breath.

143 million Sakura coins, if the exchange rate before short selling is used, it would be 14 Great Summer Coins!!!

"The teacher said it was the school's decision. It seemed that because of some exchange rate issue, the school had to raise the price." Liang Sen Lingling said.

"Okay, eat first, your father and I will go get the money."

Sato Eiko pulled her husband Ryoumori Ken into the room and closed the door.

"Honey, can you lend me some money? We can save on other things, but we can't save on the money for the children's schooling!" said Sato Eiko.

"I'm afraid this is difficult. Life is hard for everyone right now. Many people have been laid off, and even those who still have jobs have had their salaries cut.

You also know how low the Sakura Coin is recently.

Wife, how about...let Lingling change schools, to a cheaper public school."

Liang Senjian said helplessly.

Liangsen Lingling is currently attending a private school with relatively high tuition fees.

Public elementary schools are compulsory education and tuition is almost free, but parents need to bear some miscellaneous expenses and textbook fees, etc. The average annual total cost is about 54 Sakura coins.

"Changing schools will cost 54. Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is not a solution. We have to find a way to make money." Sato Eiko said helplessly.

"I'll go work at a convenience store or a fast food restaurant tomorrow. I'll work two more jobs." Liang Senjian said.

"But Lingling's tuition fee is due tomorrow, and we can't wait for your payday. Even if we do, how much can you earn working part-time for a month?"

Sato Eiko's eyes were red.

She married Liang Senjian when she was 18 years old, and it has been 7 years now. She has never had a quarrel with him over money.

Sato Eiko claims to be a woman who does not worship money. Even though she lives in poverty, she never compares herself with others in terms of money.

But today, for the sake of her daughter, she began to dislike her husband for not making money.

Sato Eiko herself found it a little unbelievable and extremely painful.

She really didn't want to have a conflict with her beloved husband over money.

"Private Marseille..."

Liang Senjian lowered his head.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked in and looked Sato Eiko up and down with a smile...
