Chapter 404 - 24: Death Row Prisoner Zhang Jian_2
"Taking the test," Zheng Cuicui replied during a breach, "it’s not hard, access is convenient too. You might not see many people on the streets right now and the buses aren’t great, but mark my words, the situation will be different in a few years."
Lin Xiaoguai quite agreed. From her past life, she knew exactly this scenario. What irritated her more was when she had specifically gone to get her driver’s license and even bought a Buick, only to find out it wasn’t much better than the buses, with frequent traffic jams not to mention. To avoid getting tickets, every outing to find a parking spot was a tiresome affair. Eventually, she simply started walking or renting bicycles, using the car in the garage only when she went on road trips with friends.
But things were different now; she wouldn’t experience the future inconveniences. Why not enjoy the smooth rides while she could?
Prompted by this thought, Lin Xiaoguai turned to Han Shouzhen and said, "Sister, would you go with me to take the test?"
Han Shouzhen hesitated then shook her head, "No, not until Ping’an is healthy again, I need to save all the money at home." Finding a volunteer for a heart transplant cost a fortune.
That’s when Lin Xiaoguai realized why her sister, despite clearly having a comfortable family situation, always dressed simply and had no costly furniture or appliances at home.
She felt somewhat disappointed, but quickly let it go.
Arriving at the prison, Lin Xiaoguai noticed it wasn’t like what she had imagined. It was much simpler than what was shown in the news from her future memories but wasn’t gloomy. She glanced at Han Shouzhen, who seemed visibly relieved—perhaps the prison too was influenced by the era.
