Chapter 159: Returned
The next morning, when Bai Fanglan woke up, she found two shopping vouchers beside her pillow. She knew what these were.
They were benefits given by the military, which could be used to receive military-grade leather shoes, cotton-padded jackets, biscuits, and bread—all of high quality.
Mrs. Wang walked in smiling, "You’re up? Wang Hu said when he left that you weren’t feeling well, so you don’t have to visit with me. You can rest at home or visit a classmate if you want. I’m giving you the vouchers; buy whatever you want. It’s just a shame the shops are closed until the fifth day of the New Year."
Bai Fanglan was startled by Wang Hu’s thoughtfulness and quickly smiled, "I didn’t even know when he left. Sorry, Mom. I slept too deeply."
"No problem, just rest up."
Mrs. Wang left. Bai Fanglan held the vouchers, somewhat dazed. This was a kindness to her, right?
She chuckled bitterly. She once had many suitors, starting from college, when many boys liked her and tried every means to get close to her. At that time, she was very proud, thinking they were only interested in her family’s power. And she had someone she liked and wouldn’t be moved. But now, she had fallen to the point where two vouchers warmed her heart.
How pitiful it was.
She held the vouchers, thinking that Sun Chan must have some too, after all, Gu Junming was of high rank.
"That cheap woman really is lucky." She sneered, got up, and went to wash.
The person she cursed, Sun Chan, was already up.
In the village, the New Year atmosphere was more intense. From the moment they woke up, they heard the sound of firecrackers outside.
