Chapter 7

I also bought some hard currency items like candy and biscuits.

Although there are some snacks in my space, those snacks are not available in this era, so it would not be appropriate to take them out.

As for the nasty things of this era like toothpaste and toothbrushes, bring them all.

Considering the cold weather in the north, this kettle is essential.

Chen Xi bought everything he could use in one go and showed them to the people in the supply and marketing cooperative.

However, when they learned that Chen Xi was preparing to go to the countryside, everyone expressed their understanding.

After buying everything, Chen Xi walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative with bags, turned around and came to a deserted alley, and put all the things he bought on the floor of the space RV.

Seeing that it was getting late, he went to a state-owned restaurant in the north of the city and had a bowl of egg noodles to fill his stomach. Then he went home with a full stomach.

As soon as I got home, I met the gazes of my family.

“You spent the whole day signing up for going to the countryside? Where did you go? Did you spend all your allowance for going to the countryside?” As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard Chen’s father questioning him.

Chen Xi choked, thinking of his father’s violent temper, and chose to endure it.

I really can’t beat him. I can’t fight him.

I thought to myself that I had the space anyway, and there were only two days left in the countryside, so I could just pick a good time another day to get back the money they took.

“I don’t have one. I was trying to find a job for my brother. I’ve been looking outside for a whole day but couldn’t find one.” Chen Xi explained, then pretended to touch his pocket, but actually took out one hundred and twenty yuan from the space.

He walked to the dining table, took out the 120 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table.

Upon seeing this, the Chen family showed a look of understanding.

Father Chen glanced at Chen Xi, as if to show that she didn’t dare to do that, and signaled Mother Chen to pick up the money.

But then he thought of something and took out twenty yuan from Chen’s mother’s hand and put it in front of Chen Xi.

“Don’t say that we, as your parents, treat you harshly. We’ll give you twenty yuan. Anyway, you can earn work points and support yourself when you go to the countryside. These twenty yuan are enough for a little girl like you.” He said with an expression of giving Chen Xi a gift.

Chen Xi was disgusted, but he didn’t show it on his face and accepted the twenty yuan submissively.

“Hurry up and go to the kitchen to eat! We left some food for you. Don’t act like we owe you anything all the time. We don’t owe you anything. It’s because you are not a son. You are an incompetent and money-losing guy.” Father Chen looked Chen Xi up and down with disgust and scolded him.

Chen Xi didn’t care what the other party said. He went into the kitchen first, opened the lid of the pot and took a look. Chen Xi was so angry that he laughed when he saw the “rice” left inside.

A few grains of rice floating in boiled water is the most common meal I have had in this family for more than ten years, and there is not even any side dish.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xi picked up the bowl of so-called rice and put it into the sink.

Then I started washing the dishes resignedly.

Hearing the sound of washing coming from the kitchen, Father Chen and his two sons looked at each other, sneered, and then pretended to pick up the newspaper and started reading.

Chen’s mother thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go to the kitchen to check on her daughter.

As soon as I entered, I saw my daughter’s thin figure wiping the dishes carefully with a rag.

“Xixi, your father has already decided to give your fiancé to your cousin. You are going to the countryside anyway, so forget about this marriage.” Chen’s mother came in and helped Chen Xi pick up the dishes she had washed and put them on the drain basket.

Chen Xi heard this and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, but he nodded silently, “Well, you guys decide.”

My so-called fiancé is not a good guy either. We have been engaged since childhood and went to the same school.

But she always takes the lead in bullying me and even gave herself the nickname “tomboy”.

Whenever Chen Xi thought of that name, he became angrier and angrier.

When Chen Xi thought of Chen Hong who had joined forces with the other party to bully him, he could not swallow this anger.

My mind was full of thoughts about how I must take revenge on Chen Hong.

After much thought, Chen Xi decided to make some plans in advance. Before he left this damn place and went to the countryside, he must take revenge and settle his grievances!

“Xixi, it’s OK if you can understand your dad. Your dad is the youngest son in the family, and Chen Hong’s dad is his eldest brother. If your dad hadn’t been taken care of by your uncle when he was a child, he might have starved to death. Your uncle is the savior of this family, and your grandmother loves you, Chen Hong, the most. It won’t be good for you if we don’t go against her. Mom has more than ten yuan of private money here, and I’ll give it all to you. Don’t blame your dad, okay?” Mother Chen said as she took out a dozen yuan from her pocket and put it in Chen Xi’s hand.

Chen Xi didn’t hesitate and took it and put it into his trouser pocket.

Mother Chen was also choked when she saw this. For some reason, she always felt that her daughter seemed to have changed.

But this submissive look makes it seem like nothing has changed.

After washing the dishes, everyone had already gone back to their rooms to sleep.

Only Chen Wei hasn’t left yet.

“Sister, I’m going out to find a job tomorrow and I don’t have any money in my pocket. Can you lend me some?” Chen Xi naturally knew why Chen Wei stayed in the living room.

Chen Wei would only call her “sister” when he wanted something beneficial.

Chen Xi originally wanted to say that you were dreaming, but then he thought that he couldn’t fall out with them now. After all, there were three of them and he was just one. Even if he was strong because he had been doing housework since he was a child, he was not much stronger.

It’s still far behind men.

What’s even worse is that my head is injured!

How can we fight against them?

Only those with capital can fight, those without capital can only survive.

More importantly, don’t I still have the cheating tool of space?

The space can collect things from a distance, and these people can’t take their money away.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi took out two large unity notes and asked, “How many do you want?”

Before leaving, I cannot reveal my true character.

“Lend me ten yuan! I’ll leave ten yuan for you. I’ll pay you back when you go to the countryside.” Chen Wei raised his eyebrows. He was used to Chen Xi’s submissive look and took the ten yuan from her hand.

I say this, but what I really mean is that I won’t give you anything in return.

Then he happily took the money and walked into the room.

Chen Wei and Chen Yao were in the same room. Chen Wei had just entered the room with the money when Chen Yao came out. Seeing Chen Xi who was about to go back to the room, he called out to Chen Xi, “You borrowed ten yuan from Chen Wei? Then lend me ten yuan too!” Chen Yao relied on the fact that he was the elder brother of triplets and didn’t even make an excuse to borrow money. He asked Chen Xi to borrow money first.

Chen Xi laughed out loud when he heard this. He really couldn’t hold it back any longer, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. Then he took out another big unity note and handed it to the other party.
