"Auntie was right to tell you to be careful. My roommate went shopping the other day and his wallet was stolen. The street in front of the station is lively, but there are a lot of pickpockets. Luckily, he didn't bring his cell phone, which he had saved up to buy, with him. Otherwise, if it had been stolen, he would have been furious. He saved up for a whole semester to buy a cell phone. But the pickpocket must have been livid when he got the wallet, because it only had three meal tickets and one bath ticket..." Jiang Zheyuan was afraid that Shao Wanwan would be depressed, so he started talking about gossip for the first time.

Shao Wanwan found it very interesting.

Because she was born into the era of mobile payments.

She often doesn't see cash for more than half a month.

Her salary consists of quarterly bonuses and annuities. After taxes and social security contributions are deducted from her annual salary, it is deposited into her bank account. She uses her card for all her daily needs, including food, drinks, and personal hygiene. She has never lost any money or received counterfeit money.

So when she first transmigrated into the book, she would subconsciously reach into her pocket for a phone that didn't actually exist.

Then she carefully took out various denominations of money and handed them over. For a while, she was particularly afraid of those coins, five cents or ten cents, which could buy things, but were very easy to lose.

The stall owners also disliked coins because they were inconvenient to store, so they preferred to replace coins.

She took ten yuan, bought five yuan worth of pork, and the butcher even gave her a plastic bag to put the change back in.

It's really troublesome.

But it's only 1999 now, and mobile payment is still some time away from being invented.

Her current phone, besides making and receiving calls, doesn't even have a flashlight function. So, the first thing Xiao Ting did after finding out she bought a phone was to ask her to lend it to her so she could play Snake...

Shao Wanwan mustn't reveal the existence of mobile payment.

"Zhanqian Street is particularly chaotic. Once, Xiao Ting went to pick up her high school classmate on Zhanqian Street. As soon as she picked her up, her classmate started crying. There were two big cuts on her shoulder bag, which were made with a razor blade. She didn't lose anything, but the main problem was that the bag was cut without her noticing. She didn't even feel it until she got off the bus. She was so scared that she cried. Xiao Ting said that she was also frightened. When she went shopping, she would hold her money very tightly, afraid that it would be stolen by pickpockets."

“From now on, when you go out, you should keep your phone in a pocket close to your body, otherwise it’s very dangerous,” Jiang Zheyuan agreed.

“Yes, you have to be careful. The main thing is, don’t you feel a bit creeped out when you realize your things are missing? Xiao Ting told me that when she found out her friend’s bag had been cut open, she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and said that she would sew money into her clothes from now on,” Shao Wanwan nodded and said.

Jiang Zheyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shao Wanwan's emotions had stabilized considerably.

He made a special phone call to his father that night.

"Dad, Wanwan and I are planning to get our marriage certificate, as you and Mom know. But after visiting Uncle Shao's grave today, Wanwan wanted to visit her own mother's grave to tell her about it. Do you know anything about Wanwan's birth mother?"

Jiang Zheyuan's father was stunned when he heard this. "Wanwan is such a thoughtful child. I don't know much about her, but I'll ask around. I'm sure I can find out. Maybe Wanwan still has relatives, but because she has been given away to someone else, no one is looking for her anymore."

“Dad, I don’t want Wanwan to get hurt. I’ve never come to look for Wanwan’s relatives in all this time. I’m afraid they might take advantage of her after they find out about her. After you find out about Wanwan’s birth mother, if she has any other relatives, investigate whether they have any debts and what their character is like. Otherwise, if you rush into acknowledging her as a relative, there will only be endless troubles.” Jiang Zheyuan said worriedly.

He knew that not everyone was as lucky as him to have such a good family.

Neither of Shao Wanwan's relatives had ever come to visit her, not even secretly. Jiang Zheyuan had no hope at all.

“You’ve thought this through very well. That’s true. But if there are still relatives, let Wanwan decide whether or not to acknowledge them. It’s not really appropriate for you to make the decision for her,” Jiang’s father suggested earnestly.

"Don't worry about that, Dad! I just asked you to investigate for me. If there really are still relatives, whether to acknowledge them or not, whether to keep in touch or not, I will still let Wanwan decide. But Dad, please give me an answer as soon as possible." Jiang Zheyuan hung up the phone after saying that.

The next day, he drove to pick up his grandmother, Shao Wanwan, and Shao Moli.

"Sister Jiang, we're going back to our hometown on some business. We're giving you three days off. You can go back to the boxing gym and take a look," Jiang Zheyuan said, handing Jiang Liyan a bag of apples.

Jiang Liyan happily accepted the apple, and when she looked down, she realized it was one of those super rare, extremely hard-to-buy, basically special-supply, extra-large Red Fuji apples. Her smile widened even more.

"Thank you, boss," she said jokingly.

Jiang Zheyuan was a very generous employer, but when her contract expired in April, Jiang Liyan decided to try her luck in the south. She didn't want to be arranged by her parents and marry just anyone.

Seeing Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan, she realized a truth: one cannot have the same life with just anyone. She needs to find someone she likes, and if she can't find that, she needs to make a lot of money.

When she arrived at the entrance to the alley she knew, the car could no longer go in.

Because the alley was too narrow, no one was even considered when it was built to own a car.

It was crowded even for two people to walk side by side.

Jiang Zheyuan could only park his car at the entrance of the alley.

As soon as the car was parked, all the uncles, aunts, grandmas, and other relatives around stopped playing cards, chatting, and gossiping, and all gathered around.

As soon as Shao Wanwan got out of the car, they immediately knew it was Zhang Suran's son-in-law's car.

They immediately exclaimed in admiration.

They praised the car, said Zhang Suran was lucky, and said Jiang Zheyuan was handsome and looked like a TV star; they could say any kind of compliment they could think of.

When Shao Moli saw that she was surrounded by people, she was a little hesitant to get out of the car.

Shao Moli stayed at home for a while to prepare for the college entrance examination, and they all got to know her.

But sitting in the car isn't a good idea.

I'm having a lot of worries.

Grandma gently touched her hand and said, "No mother doesn't love her daughter. Your mother will understand one day."

Shao Moli wondered to herself, "Can she figure this out?"

But in order not to worry her grandmother, she nodded anyway.

Zhang Suran made a dazzling entrance under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn.

They all went up to flatter Zhang Suran.

Zhang Suran was extremely proud, but she was very modest, saying that it was all thanks to her child's success that she benefited from it.

Jiang Zheyuan opened the trunk.

When everyone, including Zhang Suran, saw the trunk was completely full, their compliments grew even louder.

Zhang Suran was laughing so hard her eyes disappeared.

Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan were about to pick up the gifts and such.

Zhang Suran looked around and saw that Shao Moli was still sitting in the car. She walked straight over, opened the car door, and pulled Shao Moli out. "Xiao Jiang drives so hard, and you still make Xiao Jiang carry things. You're so lazy. Get out of the car."
