Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

For the Chiang family, this was not just a piece of paper; it was a piece of paper that could change the family's circumstances, especially the fate of the eldest son.

The Jiang couple, especially Feng Damei, had their faces flushed red, and their breathing became much heavier.

She strode over to Feng Qingqing, snatched the paper from her, and upon closer inspection, one could see that the hand holding the paper was trembling slightly.

Feng Damei had attended night school for two years when she was young, so she could roughly understand the few sentences on the paper. After reading it, she handed the form to Jiang Yong, slapped her eldest son Jiang Hongbing hard on the shoulder, and said:

"Boss, you've finally got a job! You really have to thank your little sister Qingqing. Work hard at the factory and try your best to get recognized as an outstanding employee, so you can bring honor to your parents."

Thinking that her son Hongbing finally had a formal job, and that she would no longer have to endure the gossip of those old women on this street, Feng Damei really wished she could go to the yard right now and shout, "My son has a job! He has a formal job! Let's see who dares to look down on her now!"

While Feng Damei was dreaming about the future, Jiang Yong and Jiang Hongbing, the person involved, were not far behind. After all, they lived nearby and were neighbors. Although they wouldn't say much to the man, they would occasionally ask him if he hadn't found a formal job yet, which was enough to make him feel uncomfortable.

Especially in the last two years, Jiang Hongbing has reached the age for marriage, but due to work, several relationships have fallen through, making their family's life extremely frustrating.

By the time everyone calmed down, more than ten minutes had passed. During those ten minutes, the Jiang family went from being deathly still to being beaming with joy.

Even Jiang Yun and the second and third sons of the Jiang family had happy expressions on their faces, after all, they knew that only when the family was doing well could they be doing well.

Ever since Jiang Yun heard that her older brother would have a formal job, her hidden sense of superiority gradually surfaced.

From childhood to adulthood, she watched Feng Qingqing eat well and dress well, while her family had to shamelessly come to their door to beg for money from time to time. Her jealousy of Feng Qingqing was practically overflowing.

Now, Feng Qingqing is an orphan, and she has lost her job and her house. Seeing herself fall into the dust, how could she not slowly develop a sense of superiority?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's smile gradually grew wider and wider. She thought that if she could get her hands on Feng Qingqing's space, her future would be something Feng Qingqing could only look up to and never reach.

In an instant, boundless ambition arose in Jiang Yun's heart. Perhaps she was destined to be extraordinary, and Feng Qingqing was destined to be her stepping stone.

Looking at the family, young and old, all immersed in joy, Feng Qingqing thought to herself, "Let them be happy for a few more days, and let them experience what it feels like to fall from heaven to hell."

After the family had calmed down completely, Feng Qingqing had already returned to her room.

She should leave some time for that large family to dream about a bright future.

A cold smile played on Feng Qingqing's lips.

After she left, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more lively. Jiang Yun took this opportunity to ask her mother, Feng Damei, for even more things; after all, she was quite shrewd with her own schemes.

She knew that if she didn't take some benefits now, her older brother's salary would first have to pay off the 600 yuan debt the family had incurred, and besides, her older brother was getting on in years and it was time to start planning his marriage.

In short, there are many places where household money is needed, and only what you have in your own hands is truly yours.

That night, the Jiang family slept very well, especially Feng Damei, who was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all and woke up with huge dark circles under her eyes.

But this did nothing to dampen her good mood.

Early in the morning, before Feng Qingqing had even gotten up, she heard Feng Damei's loud voice in the yard. What was that? A permanent employee! And then she said, "It's all thanks to my child's hard work." Her voice and tone were full of pride.

That's true. After being suppressed for so many years, they've finally turned their lives around. They have to tell the whole neighborhood that they're doing well and that things will only get better. It's just that the timing and luck weren't right before.

And so, thanks to Feng Damei's enthusiastic promotion, which included not even making breakfast, the whole neighborhood knew in less than a morning that Jiang Hongbing from the Jiang family had found a job, and a permanent one at that, at a machinery factory. He was going to complete the onboarding process in a few days, and he already had the paperwork in hand.

Upon hearing this news, some were envious, some were jealous, and some even came to ask how the job was obtained, as they wanted to try their luck, since everyone is short of jobs these days.

The Jiang family was bustling all morning. Luckily, Feng Damei didn't have a formal job. Of course, even if she did, she might take leave. After all, she hadn't done anything so impressive in front of the neighbors many years after marrying into the Jiang family.

Feng Qingqing didn't care how lively the Jiang family was or how smug Feng Damei was, because she was going to the countryside the day after tomorrow, and there was only one hen in her space's breeding area.

Although she only harvested one egg in the morning, it only strengthened her desire to expand her breeding operation.

She first went to the black market she'd visited the day before and bought some daily necessities at high prices that didn't require coupons. She also exchanged some nationally valid grain coupons, even though she still had plenty of grain in her storage room, she still needed to prepare some coupons.

After wandering around for a while, I took a piece of candy and asked the guard where I could buy chicks and ducklings. Finally, I got the right information.

Following the instructions, she walked until she was almost at the edge of the suburbs and finally found the family that supposedly had chicks and ducklings for exchange.

Since no tickets were required, Feng Qingqing spent 5 yuan to exchange for four chicks and four ducklings. After leaving, she casually sent the chickens and ducklings to her space when no one was around. Watching the little ones leisurely eating chicken in the space, she seemed to see baskets full of chicken and duck eggs later on, and she was so happy that her mouth was splitting into a grin.

On the way back, Feng Qingqing thought about it and decided to buy some steamed buns from the state-run restaurant, which could last for two days.

She wasn't sure if Feng Damei would prepare food for her on the train, so she had to at least prepare some food herself.

It was already evening when she got home. Feng Damei had unusually expressed her anticipation for her return, and even said that she had specially made stewed potatoes and meat for her.

Feng Qingqing knew that this person had been making headlines in the neighborhood all day, which reminded her of the original owner of this body.

Dinner was indeed much more lavish than usual, featuring braised pork with potatoes, steamed eggplant, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, and a plate of pickled vegetables. The staple food was also steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat and vegetables.

The whole family devoured dinner, and then sat still without moving. Feng Qingqing knew they had something to say.

Sure enough, Feng Damei spoke up. Although she was happy and smug all day because her eldest son had found a job, she still felt bad thinking about how her other children would have to go to the countryside to suffer after tomorrow.

"When you all go to the countryside together, you should help each other, especially the second and third brothers. Yunyun and Qingqing are girls, so you should take extra care of them."

After saying that, she pretended to cough and continued:

"Qingqing, Yunyun, you know the house is empty. Your two older brothers haven't saved much money. Now that you've gone to the countryside, you two sisters still have some rural allowance. You mustn't abandon yourselves and your two brothers in this critical time!"

These words are much more sincere and heartfelt; ultimately, it's all about the subsidies she receives.

However, if you want her, you'll have to wait.

Jiang Yun nodded helplessly. After all, he was her own brother. Could she really just stand by and watch him go when they were truly at their wits' end?

Feng Qingqing nodded haphazardly, knowing that Jiang Hongbing would find out the truth a few days later when he reported for duty, and that they probably wouldn't believe they would still help each other.

At the same time, Feng Damei reiterated her family's difficulties, emphasizing that they should behave themselves in the countryside and that she would definitely send them things whenever they had extra money.

After rambling on and on in Feng Damei's one-woman show for a long time, they finally went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, as usual, Feng Qingqing went out after breakfast. Today was her last day in the city, and she had to go out to see if there was anything else she needed to buy. The day passed in a flash.

And so, the morning of my trip to the countryside arrived in a rush.
