Shen Li fled with his wife and children overnight. He was like a rat in a gutter, terrified to be discovered by the debt collectors. He was so terrified that he became suspicious of everything, worrying that everyone on the road might be a loan shark's hand.

At first, Shen Zong was hidden in a large suitcase, and Wu Qiao had no time to put on makeup. She wore sunglasses and left the place where she had lived since childhood.

Fortunately, Shen Li was lucky and actually escaped from that place and came to a strange city thousands of miles away. This city was more prosperous than where they originally lived, with tall buildings, busy traffic, and bright lights.

Shen Li had also thought about Shen Yu, but Shen Yu was living in the school dormitory at the time. If he wanted to take Shen Yu away, the risk of exposure would be even greater. What's more, the child could not be tamed, so why should he keep him around?

Let him walk the rest of his life on his own. I have done my best.

Shen Li has been in this strange city for more than half a year, but his life is not going very well. It is completely different from his original life.

He always thought that he was born to be rich. Not only was he the only college student in the village, but he also took advantage of the trend to become a moderate entrepreneur. With the help of the Wu family, he was doing well and everyone would call him "Boss Shen" when they saw him.

Shen Li believed that he was a talented businessman, and that even if he moved to another place and had no savings, he would be able to make a comeback.

But Shen Li was wrong. Good luck would not always be on his side. There were countless college students in big cities, and some of Shen Li's entrepreneurial ideas were even very old-fashioned. No boss was willing to spend time listening to Shen Li's entrepreneurial ideas, so he could not get the first round of funding.

To put it bluntly, at that time, even a pig standing there could fly. Shen Li was just luckier and his thoughts were more open than those of the villagers who were confined to the mountain village.

But he had no skills and no ideas, so it was not easy for him to gain a foothold in this top metropolis.

The three of them left in a hurry, and they didn't take much with them. Shen Li had secretly pawned the gold jewelry that Wu Qiao brought as a dowry, and now the couple had less than one thousand yuan in savings.

Wu Qiao had beaten and scolded him, but under Shen Li's pleading, she finally chose not to divorce him. After all, it was very difficult to remarry with a son, and it was even more difficult to find a stepfather who was good to Shen Zong.

But three people cannot starve to death. Wu Qiao's family is wealthy and she has never suffered any hardship since she was a child. It is impossible for her to work. Shen Li has to find a way to support the family of three by himself.

But Shen Li was not eligible for a loan at all. He had barely enough money to rent a house. Shen Li had no choice but to pawn his more valuable watches and coats, and used the money to rent a small room. He then found an ordinary job, intending to save some money and then make a comeback.

A poor couple is bound to have bad luck. The reason why Shen Li and Wu Qiao had a harmonious relationship before was largely because they were both wealthy. But now Wu Qiao still can't change her spending habits. A cup of tea she orders casually will cost Shen Li several days' salary. She herself doesn't have a job yet. How can Shen Li tolerate this?

What's more, in this big city where every inch of land is valuable, it has become a big problem for Shen Zong to go to school. They don't have a household registration here at all, and it is almost a fantasy to transfer schools.

Even if they used money to buy admission, the high fees were beyond their ability to afford. This amount would have been daunting even for Shen Li before he went bankrupt.

It's not that easy to survive in a big city.

Because of this, the couple would quarrel almost every day in their house of less than 40 square meters.

"Money, money, money, you're talking about money again. What did you say when I married you? You said it! You said you would never let me suffer in this life, that I could have whatever I wanted and buy whatever I wanted. Now I can't afford those bags and jewelry. I can't even afford a cup of tea. Do you feel sorry for a few dozen dollars? Why don't you feel sorry for me? I haven't applied a facial mask for how many days?"

"Did I not allow you to drink tea? Can't you drink water? You know our current situation. Our savings are only enough to pay the rent for next month. Then the landlord will kick us out. You can drink as much tea as you want. Do you still think you are the rich lady you used to be?"

After becoming rich, Shen Li acted like an intellectual, quoting from classics from time to time when speaking. What a noble son born from a humble family. He looked down on the nouveau riche Wu Qiao from the bottom of his heart, whose style and temperament were very petty. The two of them were not suitable from the beginning.

But Wu Qiao was kept in the dark by Shen Li's gentle and polite manner. Now that Shen Li dared to treat her like this, of course she couldn't stand it, and the tone of the quarrel suddenly became higher.

"You dare to scold me now. If you hadn't sold my gold jewelry and replaced it with fake ones, I wouldn't have to live this hard life now. You sold the funds for your comeback, and now you are scolding your wife. Why was I so blind to fall in love with you in the first place? Now Xiaobao has no school to go to, wuwuwu..."

The quarrel always ended with Wu Qiao crying.

After that, Shen Li would also try to start his own business, but without connections and funds, he encountered obstacles everywhere in this city where every inch of land is valuable. When he returned home, he had to face the pressure from Wu Qiao and the crying of Shen Zong. He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​starting a business and just go to work honestly.

Until now, the three of them were still crowded in that small room, but today was Shen Zong's birthday, and the couple rarely had a quarrel. They brought their children to the playground to play, and they discussed some trivial matters along the way, which gave Shen Zong a headache.

Shen Zong was ignorant, and he didn't know the issues that Shen Li and Wu Qiao were considering. He only knew that his family had no money now, and no matter how much he cried and made a fuss, he couldn't buy the newest toys.

In the past, when Shen Zong celebrated his birthday, Shen Li would book a private room in a big hotel and invite some relatives and friends to come together to celebrate his birthday. There would also be an extra-large cake and countless gifts, as well as an amusement park and a toy city, so the whole day would be packed.

But now, even going to the amusement park on his birthday required him to beg for a long time.
