With the free meal system, I can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in minutes

His small shop in the county town wasn't doing well, so it's been rented out now. The rent he collects is just enough to pay off his loan for the shop.

But without the income from the convenience store, their whole family would have no source of livelihood.

Jiang Shubao still hasn't paid back the money he owes to the eldest son of the Jiang family. He once vowed to pay it off within two years, but now he definitely can't do that.

Having owed so much money and not paid a single penny back, Jiang Shubao was naturally too ashamed to ask his older brother for help in finding him a job.

Old Mrs. Jiang had the nerve to use her age to go and see the eldest son of the Jiang family again.

As the eldest brother, he couldn't just watch his younger brother suffer!

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Shutian took a very tough stance this time, saying that his business was also not doing well, and that he was already being considerate of their brotherhood by not making Jiang Shubao pay back the money immediately.

Having no other choice, Grandma Jiang took out her retirement money and gave it to Jiang Shubao so that he could grow water chestnuts with the villagers.

This is the Jiang family's traditional business. As long as Jiang Shubao and Huixin work hard, they can indeed make a living.

Jiang Shubao and Huixin were used to a life of luxury, and they couldn't bear the hardship of planting water chestnuts in the fields under the sun and wind.

They took the money from Grandma Jiang and spent it all in less than two months by eating and drinking at home.

As soon as the money ran out, Huixin started causing trouble again, and Jiang Shubao was worried about where to get the money these days!

Just then, Jiang Duoduo called, asking him to attend her engagement party.

Jiang Shubao felt that if he behaved well and got along well with Jiang Duoduo, he would definitely have no problem asking to borrow 100,000 or 200,000 yuan later.

This girl is so rich now; I heard she didn't even blink when she gave her aunt hundreds of thousands of yuan for renovations.

He's her biological father, so this girl should at least help him out a little!

Jiang Shubao, with his own wishful thinking, rummaged through his belongings at home and found out what he considered to be the most expensive clothes to wear.

Then he hurriedly drove off in his beat-up van.

……

It was 11:00 a.m.

Jiang Duoduo had already changed into a gorgeous dress and put on beautiful makeup.

The three of them unanimously chose a long gown that combined burgundy and champagne gold.

The bodice features a low-cut design with burgundy velvet puff sleeves and a band of red gemstones at the neckline, while the back has a butterfly-shaped ribbon detail. The skirt is a champagne gold, slightly flared design, entirely covered in shimmering champagne sequins.

Jiang Duoduo's hairstyle was a wool perm as a base, then half-parted to create a beautiful high crown, and the hair accessories were a set of expensive jewelry given to her by Wen Jiayi.

Jiang Duoduo's outfit exuded a gentle yet noble air, and she shone brightly in the midday sun.

"Duoduo, you look so beautiful! I dare say, even a princess from a fairy tale isn't as beautiful as you!"

"No, I need to take a few more photos with you first, otherwise when the engagement ceremony starts, Luo Kai will be standing next to you!"

"I want to take pictures first! Duoduo, let's go outside to take pictures, the real forest scenery of Sunset Villa is so beautiful!"

“Okay! But we need to hurry! Luo Kai just called to say that they have arrived at Sunset Villa and the engagement ceremony will officially begin in about half an hour.”

After Jiang Duoduo finished speaking, she picked up her dress and walked with Zeng Mingming and Liu Feifei to the first floor of the annex building.

"Don't worry! We're quick at taking photos, it definitely won't interfere with your and Luo Kai's important life event!"

Zeng Mingming smiled and winked at Jiang Duoduo.

"Oh my! Our Duoduo is smitten! The way she's all smiles when she hears Luo Kai is here... no way, Mingming and I are going to get jealous!"

Liu Feifei also jokingly teased Jiang Duoduo.

"If you two don't behave yourselves, I'm not taking pictures with you anymore. I'm going to find Luo Kai right now!"

As soon as Jiang Duoduo said this, Zeng Mingming and Liu Feifei immediately raised their hands in surrender, saying they would take a picture right away and stop joking!

The scene of the three of them playfully bickering was incredibly heartwarming.

At that moment, Shi Wenyan, who was not present, was holding her child and silently wiping away tears in her rented room.

Actually, she and Jiang Shen did not go on vacation to Hai Province. Their family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, let alone have the money for a vacation.

This is just an excuse she made for herself to save face.

Jiang Shen has completely given up now, and no matter how much Shi Wenyan cries and makes a fuss, he remains indifferent.

Sometimes, when he was drunk, he would even hit Shi Wenyan, saying that it was all because of her that his life had become the way that everyone disliked him!

Shi Wenyan now spends her days crying and filled with regret.

She regretted her poor judgment back then; how could she have thought Jiang Shen was a rich man?

Even now, she doesn't think she was wrong; she believes it was her vanity that caused everything to go against her wishes.

At this moment, Zhang Qin, who lives in a small county in H province, also felt regret.

Jiang Duoduo also invited her to her engagement party.

At this time, Zhang Qin had only recently finished her postpartum confinement. Being broke and living far away, she could only apologize to her best friend and say that she would definitely attend Jiang Duoduo's wedding.

When Zhang Qin was six months pregnant, she and Ren Fei both resigned from their jobs at the supermarket in S City and returned to Ren Fei's hometown.

They used the money they had saved by scrimping and saving to take out a loan and buy a small two-bedroom apartment in Ren Fei's small county town.

They only got their marriage certificate; they didn't do anything else because they had used almost all their money for the down payment on the house.

Ren Fei has a younger brother in college and a younger sister in high school. Not only did his parents not contribute a penny to the purchase of the house, but sometimes Ren Fei also had to pay for his younger brother and sister's living expenses at school.

When Zhang Qin gave birth, Ren Fei's mother took care of her during her postpartum period. Now that her postpartum period is over, Ren Fei's mother hasn't said she's leaving.

Not only did Ren Fei's mother stay, but Ren Fei's younger siblings and his elderly father who farmed in their hometown also found excuses to stay at their house during the Spring Festival.

They said the New Year celebrations in the county town were lively, and they even offered to help take care of the children!

Zhang Qin now deeply regrets following Ren Fei to this godforsaken little county.

It's hard to find a job here, and even if you do, the pay is very low.

Ren Fei finally found a job as a supermarket salesman, earning only four thousand yuan a month.

With a salary of four thousand yuan, I have to pay a mortgage of twelve thousand yuan every month, buy baby formula and diapers, and also take care of the food and drink for the whole family.

Besides the difficulty of making money, Zhang Qin also couldn't stand so many people crammed into a small house. Even when Ren Fei's younger siblings went to live at school, Ren Fei's parents still lived with them.

People have different lifestyles, so minor disagreements and bumps often happen.

Ren Fei was no longer as protective of her as before. He often told Zhang Qin that his parents were getting old and that she should be more considerate of the elderly.

Zhang Qin could only cry secretly in the toilet whenever she felt wronged.

She had no relatives or friends around her, and no one to confide in.

The only person Zhang Qin still keeps in touch with is Jiang Duoduo.

But Jiang Duoduo is so happy now, how could she possibly bring up her own unpleasant experiences?
