Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the sound of the door closing, and Lu Haoting came back with a heavy face.
Zuo Jingyan stood up and looked at him. She wiped her hands with water on the back of her shirt and asked:
"Did you leave something behind?"
"I'll give you this money, and you're not allowed to go out for food anymore."
Lu Haoting angrily took out all the money he had and put it on the table. He really didn't want to look at this woman for a minute, and said categorically:
"I will find you a job and a place to live, and then we will divorce you."
Zuo Jingyan was a strong person. She could not ask for Lu Haoting's money, so she calmly said to him:
"I don't want your money, just help me find a place to live."
Lu Haoting narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He was really not used to her being so calm. Could it be that someone had given her some advice, asking her to use softness to overcome strength? To retreat in order to advance?
No matter what tricks she plays, this marriage must be divorced, Lu Haoting ordered in a strong tone:
"Leave the money here, if you bother other people's homes again, I will throw you back to the countryside."
Zuo Jingyan looked at the money on the table with a wry smile. The heavy slamming of the door showed that the man was extremely angry and did not want to have any more entanglements with her. He left like a tornado.
After checking, the total was twenty-three and sixty cents. Lu Haoting had a monthly allowance of forty-two yuan, mailed fifteen yuan to his family, and left twenty yuan for living expenses for Zuo Jingyan, leaving only seven yuan for himself.
He smoked before getting married to Zuo Jingyan, but he stopped smoking after getting married. His pocket was cleaner than his face. It took him several months to save the twenty-three yuan.
Zuo Jingyan is really short of money now, but she can't take this money. If she takes this money, she will be no different from her original owner, and she will become a woman who depends on men to support her.
But the current situation is that with no money in the pocket, no food in the kitchen, and no kerosene in the kerosene stove, survival is a problem.
She must make money quickly, but no matter what business she does, she needs capital. Zuo Jingyan frowned and tapped her fingers unconsciously on the table, thinking about how to get the first pot of gold?
The hair fell from her shoulders to the back of her hands and felt a little itchy. Zuo Jingyan looked down and smiled when she saw her hair.
The original owner's hair was dark and thick, as smooth and smooth as satin, and was as long as her waist.
I thought that in the period articles I had read, there were people selling hair for money. I will go to the city tomorrow to see if there is a hair salon to collect hair?
With the first start-up capital, she had a way to make money to survive. She hung the clean clothes to dry in the yard and prepared to go to bed early.
Just as she was about to close the door, she was pushed away by a pair of big hands. Lu Haoting came back again, holding a lunch box in his hand and putting it on the table with a sullen face, and left again without saying a word.
"Thanks."
Zuo Jingyan chased after her to thank her, but Lu Haoting left without looking back.
Zuo Jingyan looked at his back and smiled bitterly and shook her head. Lu Haoting was a good man, upright and responsible, handsome and a soldier. He met her own criteria for choosing a mate in all aspects. If she had pursued him in her previous life, she would have pursued him.
But now I can only laugh it off, saying that I have no connection with this man.
In fact, she sympathized with Lu Haoting. He was a three-time martial arts champion in the army and had a bright future.
Marrying a woman like the original owner would ruin his reputation and even affect his career.
Zuo Jingyan was also really hungry. Although she ate the two steamed buns sent by Yuanyuan, the steamed buns with vegetarian fillings were not resistant to hunger and she had long since digested them after working all afternoon.
Lu Haoting was just in time, he knew she was hungry so he gave her food, but he didn't know that he gave her all the money. How could he buy food?
I can’t ask for money, but I can still eat. After all, I am still known as Lu Haoting’s wife!
Zuo Jingyan sat at the dining table and opened the aluminum lunch box and looked at it. Rice and two vegetarian dishes, a fried melon and a scrambled egg with tomatoes were all her favorites.
She thought she couldn't eat so much, but she hit the bottom as she ate, and she ate all the food in her full lunch box.
Wash the lunch box with hot water. If there is no cup at home, Zuo Jingyan can only fill the lunch box with water to make a temporary cup.
She sat at the table and started writing down the things she needed to buy, including oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, rice and white noodles, a cup for drinking water, a spoon for cooking, kerosene for the kerosene stove, and some sugar and hawthorn. She promised Dongdong to make candied haws for him.
Break a promise.
In addition to food, the original owner also needed to buy some toilet paper as her menstrual period was coming soon.
I wrote all sorts of things on almost a piece of paper, and it cost a lot of money.
We still have to make money. This feeling of spending money calculatedly is too uncomfortable.
When Zuo Jingyan thinks about making money, her whole body is full of strength. Nothing can stop her. It was so difficult for her to find a way out in her previous life, let alone in this age full of opportunities?
I closed the door and lay down to sleep early. I didn't even have a dream until dawn. Looking at the dazzling sun, I had to buy curtains, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep well every day.
In the morning, I applied toothpaste with my fingers and brushed my teeth. I just brushed them like this last night. The original owner's toothbrush was too dirty and I couldn't use it.
Lu Haoting did have a toothbrush, but Zuo Jingyan couldn't overcome the psychological barrier, so she could only brush her teeth with her fingers.
After brushing her teeth, Zuo Jingyan silently wrote down the toothbrush and toothpaste on the shopping list. She had already rolled them a few times, and she probably only needed to brush her teeth twice more before they were completely bare.
After the clothes were dried overnight, Zuo Jingyan changed into Lu Haoting's shirt and military pants, put on her own clothes, braided her long hair into two braids, and went out refreshingly.
It cost 20 cents to take a bus back and forth to the county seat. Zuo Jingyan didn't want to use Lu Haoting's money, so she wanted to walk to the city by herself. When she passed the bus stop, she was stopped by someone.
The person who called her was Li Aimei, the daughter-in-law of Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang. Her husband and Lu Haoting were on the same leadership team, and both of them had hopes of being promoted to a full-level position. However, her husband was not as famous as Lu Haoting, and he was not as strong in business as Lu Haoting.
The probability is that he can't compete with him.
"Coming from Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's house, I heard that you robbed some candied hawsers yesterday? Is it because Deputy Battalion Commander Lu didn't give you money? It's so outrageous. I'm eating and drinking outside while I let you starve at home."
Li Aimei opened her mouth to sow discord and deliberately spoke loudly, for fear that others would not hear.
Zuo Jingyan glanced at her. Li Aimei was wearing a yellow shirt, blue khaki trousers with straight iron lines, black round-toe semi-high-heeled leather shoes, and a perm. She was very eye-catching among a group of simple military wives.
I heard that her natal family is very powerful. Her father is the sales section chief of a steel factory, her mother is an accountant at a knitting factory, and she is a custodian at a medicinal company.
Therefore, her family lived the best life in the military family compound and wore the best clothes. The original owner was very envious of her.
If the original owner heard Li Aimei's instigation, he would have followed her wishes and scolded Lu Haoting.
But now Zuo Jingyan is here. She came out to enter the world at the age of eighteen, and she has been struggling so hard that no one has seen her. Her little thoughts are not enough.
Zuo Jingyan shook her head:
"Lao Lu left me money, but I spent it all by myself. Yesterday I accidentally knocked Dongdong's candied haws on the ground. I have already told the child that I will pay him ten candied haws today."
"Just you? How can you compensate me?"
When Li Aimei saw that Zuo Jingyan didn't follow her words, she couldn't help but taunted her and looked her up and down suspiciously. How could this woman be so smart today? She didn't even scold Lu Haoting?
Zuo Jingyan put away her smile and replied coldly:
"Lao Lu came back yesterday and gave me money. Ten candied haws of apples are not that expensive, so why can't you afford the compensation?"
Even if she divorced Lu Haoting, she couldn't let others slander him. Besides, she didn't lie. Lu Haoting did give her money.
"snort."
Li Aimei sneered, clapped her hands and turned back to the military wife who was waiting for the bus together and said:
"Everyone has heard this, please bear witness. Don't look back. Our deputy battalion commander Lu's wife is cheating again. Sister-in-law Li, please tell everyone when she pays for your stuff."
Zuo Jingyan looked at Jiang Xueying with faint eyes. She thought she was a nice person yesterday, so why did she stab her in the back?
Jiang Xueying was extremely embarrassed by Li Aimei's name. She explained to Zuo Jingyan:
"I didn't say that."
Zuo Jingyan saw Jiang Xueying's reaction and knew that she had misunderstood her. She smiled and nodded:
"I know, how could my sister-in-law, who is so kind, spread such boring lies!"
Li Aimei couldn't stand the fact that she meant so much:
"Zuo Jingyan, who do you think is spreading lies?"
Zuo Jingyan looked at Li Aimei suspiciously with a pair of clear eyes:
"Of course he's the one who spreads lies. What's wrong? Sister-in-law, are you the one who spreads lies? No, sister-in-law, you are a cultured person, how can you do such a villainous thing?"
Although Zuo Jingyan used a question, her tone was affirmative. Several military wives around looked at Li Aimei. They had indeed listened to what Li Aimei said.
"I...I didn't say that!"
Li Aimei felt uncomfortable being looked at by everyone, and looked at Zuo Jingyan angrily, why is this idiot so sharp-tongued today?
"Since it's not my sister-in-law who said it, that's fine. I'm just saying, isn't my sister-in-law such a shameless villain?"
Zuo Jingyan showed a harmless smile and spoke in a relaxed tone, but she secretly scolded Li Aimei.
Li Aimei's face turned green with anger, and she glared at Zuo Jingyan hatefully. Seeing her turn around and walk towards the county seat, Li Aimei suddenly felt a sense of superiority.
"Zuo Jingyan, didn't you say that Deputy Battalion Commander Lu left you money? Why can't you even part with a dime of the car payment?"
Zuo Jingyan turned around and smiled at her:
"I didn't sleep well last night. My sister-in-law smells...the perfume is too strong. I'm afraid of vomiting."
The original owner was instigated by Li Aimei to eat all over the compound, find people to fight and force Lu Haoting to go home, and now she wants to use herself to ruin Lu Haoting's reputation? Then don't blame her for being rude.
"you?"
Li Aimei was so angry that she almost exploded. She had body odor and the smell was especially strong when sweating in summer, so she had to spray more perfume to cover it up. Isn't Zuo Jingyan mocking her?
The military wives in front of me stared at their toes and pursed their lips. They had no choice but to hold back their laughter!
Zuo Jingyan was feeling happy after drinking green tea. She was humming as she walked, her steps were relaxed. Not long after she walked out, a bus came from behind.
Li Aimei saw Zuo Jingyan in the car and deliberately opened the window and shouted to her:
"Zuo Jingyan, let's leave first. You can walk slowly. You can reach the county at noon."
Zuo Jingyan bowed deeply to her and shouted in a sad voice:
"Sister-in-law, have a good trip."
"you you......"
Li Aimei covered her heart in anger and almost died on the spot without being angry.
Jiang Xueying couldn't hold back her laughter, she was so happy. Everyone couldn't stand the arrogant Li Aimei, but they didn't dare to offend her, but someone had restrained her.
Zuo Jingyan is actually a little cute!
