Chapter 587: Showing Off
"Let’s just go back and stay there! Staying in the city for one night costs quite a bit of money." Not knowing how many days they would need to wait, and with no income from work, plus the expense of accommodations, Shen Jianhua couldn’t bear it.
The entire family depended on him for support.
"Exactly, everything in the city costs money, even the buns are more expensive than at home. Let’s head back tonight, and I’ll fry a couple more pancakes to bring tomorrow." At lunchtime, she was so hungry that she went to buy buns only to find that they were twice as expensive as back home. She bought one and split it with her husband, and now her stomach was growling with hunger, sticking to her back.
"Auntie, Uncle, don’t be too hard on yourselves, you still need to eat," Zhou Siyu said, showing great sympathy for the couple, "My sister really is something, taking so much money for herself without sparing a thought for the family."
"If she had any conscience, she wouldn’t have hidden that much money away without taking it out," Zhou Lanfang said angrily at the mention of the matter. All that money was hidden in the house, and she had no idea.
Why hadn’t she thought to dig up the earth beneath the bed before?
"Siyu, you should hurry back to school! We’re going to head back now," Shen Jianhua said, also hungry and now just wanting to go back, eat something, and get some early rest so he could come back early the next day.
"Right, Siyu, you better hurry back to school! Don’t come out if there’s nothing urgent. There are lots of bad people in the city." While she was talking, Zhou Lanfang took advantage of Shen Jianhua’s distraction to slip some money into Zhou Siyu’s hand.
