After going to the countryside, I rely on the sign-in system to bring my sisters along
Chapter 372 Nothing is right
Wen Xi originally thought that Lin Yiwan had exchanged all the old items on the black market, so she wouldn’t be able to exchange much. Now, she should have many more old items than Lin Yiwan.
She no longer wants to exchange old items, but she also doesn't want to give food to people for free, because no one will cherish it. Also, places outside the orphanage are not her mission targets, so why should she help everyone?
Therefore, it is better for everyone to have a trading relationship.
In the evening, Wen Xi returned to the orphanage and saw Xu Yinmei with a sad face. He asked worriedly, "Sister Yinmei, what's wrong with you? Did something happen today?"
"A few more kids came today." Xu Yinmei looked up at the sky. "When will this kind of day end?"
"Sister Yinmei, don't worry. As long as we hold on, we should be able to overcome the difficulties soon, and the leaders will definitely come up with better ways to solve these problems." The orphanage is so small, but there are more and more children. The leaders will definitely find a way to place these children.
After listening to Wen Xi's words, Xu Yinmei nodded and said, "It shouldn't go on like this forever. There will always be a way to solve it."
The next morning, after Wen Xi got up and dressed himself, he took the children's bowls and made them some minced meat soup. This minced meat soup only had a little salt and chopped green onions in it. It was very light and suitable for children of these few years old.
As for breakfast, Wen Xi did not take it out, because Xu Yinmei and the others could tell whether the supplies had been used or not. If there was no shortage of food in the warehouse, would they wonder where the food for her breakfast came from?
So she just needs to give these children some nutritional supplements occasionally.
After Xu Yinmei and Fang Zhiruo got up, Wen Xi told them about the minced meat soup and left the orphanage. Today she was going to the shantytown, which was kind of a slum!
They couldn't afford the food at the original price, and the current price is sky-high for them, which is even more unaffordable. However, Wen Xi couldn't give the food to them for free. If he gave them the food for free, who knows how arrogant they would be and what trouble they would cause!
But she couldn't care less about so many things. She could only lower the price of food so that they would not starve to death and could just have enough food and water.
So Wenxi set the price of coarse grains at 30 cents per pound, and radishes, cabbages, wild vegetables, mushrooms, onions, pumpkins, and winter melons at 30 cents per pound. As for other things, she did not sell them at a low price.
Then she started knocking on doors to sell food. Food was not available outside, and the food on the black market was almost sky-high for them, so they could not afford it.
You can also exchange old items for food. Although the people here are relatively poor, every family has an heirloom from their ancestors. As long as you are willing to take it out, you can come to her to exchange it for food.
Sometimes Wenxi would go to see Uncle Qin in the morning, go to wealthier areas to sell grain in the afternoon, and go to poorer areas to sell grain in the evening, trying to help everyone as much as possible.
That night, Wenxi returned to the orphanage and handed two cans of milk powder to Xu Yinmei, "Sister Yinmei, I got two cans of milk powder from someone today. Please feed some to the youngest babies!"
Milk powder is an extremely precious commodity. Wen Xi did not sign out much, nor did he take out all of it, because the temptation was too great.
"Liangliang, thank you so much, you really are a timely help!" Xu Yinmei took the milk powder and quickly went to make it for the child.
Wen Xi also picked up a child and fed him milk. Looking at the child's big black eyes, Wen Xi felt her heart soften. She didn't know how the child's parents had the heart to send such a lovely child to an orphanage.
Xu Yinmei watched Wen Xi's movements of holding the baby go from unfamiliar to proficient, and said with a smile, "Liangliang, when do you plan to have a baby? You can train here for a while, and gain experience in taking care of children. You will definitely be able to take good care of the child in the future."
Wen Xi smiled awkwardly, "As for us, let's wait a few years. Life is too hard now. It would be too cruel to give birth to a child and let him live a hard life. Let's wait until conditions are better in the future!"
This is a mission world, she will definitely not stay here for long.
As for the real world, she doesn't know whether she will have a partner, get married and have children in the future, because she feels that her situation is not suitable for marriage and having children.
She didn't have any other men. He Chenan had wrongly accused her of having other men. If she told him that she had a fake marriage with someone else in the mission world, she didn't know how he would look at her. He would probably think she was cheap and dirty...
Her situation is really not suitable for getting married and having children, and she doesn't believe there is really a man in this world who can support her in everything she does.
So she just wanted to complete her tasks well and make good money. She didn't want to be bound by a man, and she didn't want to be trapped by a man and not even have the freedom to be herself.
Moreover, looking at the life a woman lives in her husband's family, Wenxi doesn't want to get married at all. Everyone gets married for a better life, but how many people actually live a better life?
If you eat one more bite of food, people will say you are greedy.
If you sleep a few more minutes when you are not feeling well, people will say you are lazy.
In short, doing anything is wrong. Not doing anything is even more wrong, but doing it is also wrong.
She wants to live alone with her husband, but she also says that the family will not be separated as long as her parents are still alive. Anyway, all the paths for women are blocked.
Most of the people were dragged into the swamp and remained stuck there, unable to get out.
And how many men can give her the comfortable life she has now?
Now she can do whatever she wants, get up at whatever time she wants, eat whatever she wants, and spend as much money as she wants. How many men can give her such a life?
Xu Yinmei thought about it and nodded, "Liangliang, you are right. How can people raise children when they have nothing to eat? So your decision is right. If everyone can be as rational as you, we won't have so many children here."
There are not many real orphans here. Most of them are sent here because their families can no longer afford to raise them. They just hope that the orphans will raise them, and they don’t know whether they will come and take the children back in the future.
After a while, Xu Yinmei asked curiously, "Liangliang, you live in the orphanage every night, won't your husband have any complaints?"
Wen Xi smiled and said, "He is working in another place and won't come back without a holiday."
"Ah?" Xu Yinmei was stunned for a moment, a little bit unbelieving, "You two are in two different places? Since you are free, why don't you go and accompany him? Aren't you afraid that he will find another one outside?"
"I believe him." Wen Xi said with a smile.
