Chapter 65

Someone from the street office came and found that Meng Jianjun was not at home, so they had to inform Zhang Baoer of the notice: “Your wife has lost her job now. If she continues to stay in the city, she will only be treated as a vagrant. We suggest that you go to the countryside, to Comrade Meng Jianjun’s hometown.

Of course, if you continue to stay in the city, your household registration will be moved to the countryside.”

Zhang Baoer’s lips trembled, “Then, what about me?”

The staff rolled his eyes, “Do you have a job? If not, you can move with your wife.”

When Meng Jianjun came back, he saw Zhang Baoer sitting in the living room.

He kicked the shoes at his feet, “Did you not slack off today?!”

Zhang Baoer turned her head stiffly and met Meng Jianjun’s gaze, “Someone from the street office is here. Both of us are unemployed, and our household registration will be forcibly moved to your hometown. When did you lose your job?”

Meng Jianjun froze and took the initiative, “When did you lose it?! It’s all your fault! If I had married Xiaofang, I would have been a regular employee by now! At the very least, you had maintained a good relationship with the Zhang family, so I wouldn’t have to seek help from anyone and get caught, and even lose my temporary job?!!”

“You’re still putting the blame on me? Meng Jianjun, do you have a conscience?”

“Conscience, conscience, if you have a conscience, why don’t you show any gratitude to your adoptive parents!”

“You!”

As if he had thought of something, Meng Jianjun looked at Zhang Baoer, “There is only one way now.”

“What way?” Seeing his attitude change, he didn’t bother to argue. The most important thing now is not to go to the countryside.

“Baoer, for the sake of us not having to go to the countryside and become old farmers who work hard all their lives and still can’t even have a few bites of food… go and beg your adoptive parents.”

Zhang Baoer wiped her tears, “Why should I marry you?”

Is this a compromise?

Meng Jianjun instantly ignored the fact that her figure was obviously not as good as it was before she got married, and leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Zhang Baoer blushed and acted like a little girl, “Why are you so bad!”

“Women don’t love men who are not bad, hahaha.” He hugged her in his arms.

After a while of tenderness, Zhang Baoer said, “But we don’t know where our parents are.”

“That’s a problem…”

Zhang Baoer had a flash of inspiration, as if she thought of something, and said, “I have a way.”

Meng Jianjun raised his eyebrows slightly, “What can you do?”

“You are looking down on people. Before I married you, in order to please dad, I went with him to visit his college classmates. Those who treated us kindly might not tell us the whereabouts of our parents, but those who turned against dad and even had a bad attitude would definitely tell us!”

Meng Jianjun lowered his head to cover up the fleeting haze.

This woman is really stupid when she is stupid, and she is bad to the core. She is indeed a country girl.

But now she has some value again.

Meng Jianjun put his arm around her waist and smacked his lips, “Our Bao’er is so smart. We’ll set off tomorrow!”

“So soon?”

“There’s no money at home, and I’ve lost my job. My colleagues and stepfather and mother-in-law all dislike me. Not to mention support, they can’t even see me. I’ll have to go hungry tomorrow… I’d better find out where they are as soon as possible and ask my parents-in-law for help.”

Zhang Bao’er was still nervous: “But I had a falling out with my parents before I got married.”

“Bao’er.” Meng Jianjun combed her sparse hair with his fingers, “After all, you have had feelings for them for more than ten years. How can a few emotional words wipe it out? Especially my mother-in-law, she will definitely be reluctant to let me go. For our future, I’ll have to put up with you and beg my mother-in-law…”

“Okay, I’ll try.”

Their plan was good at the beginning.

We also successfully found the current address of Zhang Fu and his wife.

But Zhang Baoer’s words before her marriage really broke Fu Yujing’s heart. Now when she heard Zhang Baoer’s voice, she didn’t open the door.

“Mom, I’m back. Please open the door and let us in…”

Zhang Baoer knocked on the door persistently.

At first it was nothing.

After a long time, it caused unrest among the neighbors.

Before, when Fu Yujing was hospitalized, the wall between the courtyard and the house could prevent Zhang Baoer from entering the house, but each house in the tube building is separated by only one wall. If she doesn’t open the door, wouldn’t it be a disturbance to others?

Fu Yujing opened the door with a sullen face.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Zhang Baoer’s face had become visibly thinner in just a few days.

She was startled.

Zhang Baoer touched her cheek.

Even though her sparse hair was combed up and covered with charcoal, she could still see something unusual if she looked closely.

She didn’t know what was going on, but the bald spot on her head wouldn’t grow hair. She heard from people that rubbing ginger on it would help it grow hair, so she spent money to buy a piece of ginger.

As for where the money comes from?

Before she got married, she sold her old things for 40.68 yuan.

Fortunately, she was careful and buried the money on the second day after her wedding, so Meng Jianjun didn’t find it…

After applying the ginger, she just felt a burning sensation on her scalp, and it had no effect at all.

She tried many folk remedies, but none of them worked.

The more anxious people are to achieve something, the less likely they are to achieve their goal.

So until now, no hair has grown in the bald areas.

Coupled with the thin and round face, it looks even more unsightly.

Even Fu Yujing temporarily forgot her previous unhappiness when she saw it, and murmured: “How did you become like this…”

Zhang Baoer obviously misunderstood.

Thinking that her adoptive mother was concerned about her, she quickly showed weakness: “Mom, Brother Jianjun has lost his job. We have no savings and are about to go broke. Please help us.”

Fu Yujing came to her senses.

No matter how confused she was, she understood her and Zhang Fu’s current situation. Helping Zhang Baoer would mean that the couple would have to suffer. The key question was whether this help was worth it?

Not worth it.

Zhang Baoer has not taken her and Zhang Fu’s efforts to heart for more than ten years. Can she change her temper after marriage?

What’s more…

she loves her well-behaved daughter, not her daughter who looks like a ghost and whose eyes are full of tricks against her.

“Want money?”

Zhang Baoer nodded quickly.

Fu Yujing turned her head away and said, “No.”

“What?” Zhang Baoer paused, and after realizing that her voice had been raised and her attitude was wrong, she lowered her voice and said, “How could there be nothing?”

Then, Zhang Baoer began to look around.

The tube-shaped building has shared toilets and kitchens, so there is no privacy at all.

The house her adoptive parents live in is small, not even as big as the room she lived in before she got married.

After a flash of disdain flashed through his mind, he glanced at the furnishings again.

However, the adoptive mother’s previous habit of cultivating sentiments was retained, and this small house looks different from that of ordinary people.

Fu Yujing followed her adopted daughter’s line of sight and did not miss the disdain in her eyes, which made her feel even more disappointed.

“Mom, please help us. I know my elder and second brothers will not ignore you. It’s so hard for me and brother Jianjun…”

Zhang Baoer wiped her tears, but she kept her head down for a long time but no tears came out.

Fortunately, the adoptive mother couldn’t see it…

Meng Jianjun had been observing the details of the two of them, especially Fu Yujing’s attitude towards Zhang Baoer.

The more I observed, the more my heart sank.

When I think about the “big words” this idiot said before marrying him, if it were him, wouldn’t he have been beaten up?

To be fair, the Zhang family has done the most they can by allowing Zhang Baoer to take away the things they spent on her over the years.

If one plan doesn’t work, we have to implement the second one.

Meng Jianjun took action personally.
