Chapter 486 Mold Chapter 65
As food supplies decreased, although Zhou Wu and the others knew what was going on, it was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Under such circumstances, several people had such expressions on their faces.
The first few days were fine, and the treatment of Zhou Bai and Chen Dingxiang was always consistent.
But after a while, it no longer works, but it still looks okay on the surface.
But you have to get your own dishes and pour your own water.
Near the end of the month, when a family of seven was sharing a packet of instant noodles, He Yun nudged Zhou Wu with his arm.
Zhou Wu looked hesitant, then looked at Zhou Jing and made up his mind. It was okay for adults to suffer a little, but children should not be allowed to suffer.
So Zhou Wu said to Chen Dingxiang, "Mom, you can see that the food in our house can only last for a few days. Can you go to my sister's house in advance to get living expenses?"
Because there is still a week before the living allowance is due, but the remaining food will not last a week.
Zhou Bai and Chen Dingxiang looked at Zhou Wu in disbelief.
The other people looked at Zhou Bai and Chen Dingxiang with hope in their eyes.
Zhou Jing subconsciously thought of the delicious food brought by her grandparents, and couldn't help but lick her dry mouth.
Zhou Bai looked at Zhou Wu and said, "Don't you know that it's not time for you to go to your sister's house next time? What's more, there's no food at home. As the only young man in the family, shouldn't you go out and find a solution?"
Chen Dingxiang sent a few glances to Zhou Bai, signaling him to say less. Didn’t she see that her son’s face had become particularly ugly?
Zhou Bai ignored it and just stared at Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu knew that what Zhou Bai said made sense, but that was the situation at home, so he said to Zhou Bai: "Dad, you don't know, my salary is not enough to cover the expenses of the whole family."
Chen Dingxiang tried to smooth things over, "Why are you talking about this during a meal? Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later."
Zhou Wu immediately looked at Chen Dingxiang pitifully.
He's father and mother are just watching the scene, so it's not appropriate for them to get involved.
Chen Dingxiang looked at Zhou Wu and felt a little sad. How could her son become like this?
I had promised my daughter at the beginning that I would not ask her to pay me for my life, but I didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
Zhou Bai also sighed. They couldn't just watch Zhou Wu's family starve to death, right?
So after eating the instant noodles, Zhou Bai watched Chen Dingxiang take out her cell phone and dial Zhou Yin's number.
Chen Dingxiang's heart was beating fast as she listened to the call tone coming from the mobile phone. She really didn't know how to tell her daughter later.
After a while, the phone was connected, and Zhou Yin's voice reached the ears of Chen Dingxiang and others: "Mom, what's the matter?"
That’s right, Chen Dingxiang turned on the loudspeaker mode.
Zhou Yin, on the other side, looked at the phone in her hand strangely and asked in confusion: "Mom, why aren't you talking?"
Zhou Bai felt guilty when he heard his daughter's concern. He said to Chen Dingxiang tiredly, "Old lady, hang up the phone."
Chen Dingxiang's eyes were hesitant. Zhou Wu listened to Zhou Bai's words and became a little anxious. He said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, Mom."
As several people spoke, Zhou Yin couldn't hear clearly and became even more confused. She quickly asked loudly, "Mom, is there something wrong with you?"
Chen Dingxiang simply closed her eyes and looked away, then said to her phone, "Yinyin, can we get the living expenses in advance?"
After saying this, a hole was suddenly torn in Chen Dingxiang's heart, as if a cold wind was blowing in, making a whistling sound.
After hearing what Chen Dingxiang said, He Yun and the others all relaxed. After living a good life for so long, who would be willing to go back to living a hard life?
Chen Dingxiang and Zhou Bai felt a little regretful in their hearts.
After a while, Zhou Yin's voice came over: "But it's not time yet?"
Chen Dingxiang's face immediately trembled a few times, and she said into the phone microphone: "Yinyin, just tell me if it's okay or not."
Zhou Yin didn't know what happened to her parents, so she could only speak truthfully: "Even if I come early, I won't have anything to give you. You Yuan's salary hasn't been paid yet."
After Zhou Yin finished speaking, she waited for her mother's answer, but the other side returned to silence, except for some whispers in the silence.
When the other party didn't respond, Zhou Yin seemed to understand something in a flash.
To be honest, she had anticipated such a situation.
When Jiang Meng clearly expressed that she did not want to help Zhou Wu's family, Zhou Yin could not force her daughter. Besides, this was not something Jiang Meng should be responsible for.
Jiang Youyuan also went out to work because his parents needed living expenses. Fortunately, Jiang Meng was still responsible for the family's living expenses, which made him very satisfied and reduced Jiang Youyuan's burden.
At Zhou Wu's house, everyone heard Zhou Yin's words.
He Yun blurted out: "She doesn't want to refuse, does she?"
Zhou Wu's face was also a little dull, and then he said to Chen Dingxiang: "Mom, doesn't Xiao Meng have an unlimited food exchange card? This is a small matter for them, why do you reject us?"
After hearing Zhou Wu's shameless words, Zhou Bai raised his finger and pointed at Zhou Wu several times, wanting to say something.
Chen Dingxiang was heard saying into the phone: "Mengmeng, don't you have unlimited food redemption cards? Yinyin, please help mom!"
Zhou Bai's face immediately changed and he yelled, "Shut up!"
The whole room suddenly fell silent. No one knew who Zhou Bai was talking to. After all, everyone had just spoken.
And Zhou Bai's voice was also clearly transmitted to Zhou Yin's ears.
But Zhou Yin didn’t know what her parents were planning. Moreover, Zhou Yin knew herself well and knew that in her parents’ hearts, her brother was definitely more important than herself.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Yin said to Chen Dingxiang, "It's early this time, will it be early next time? If it keeps going early forever, will we have to support Zhou Wu's family even if You Yuan dies of exhaustion outside?"
Chen Dingxiang retorted in a low voice: "How can that be possible? Isn't there Mengmeng?"
Zhou Yin held her breath and said bluntly, "Mom, we have an agreement, and we must act according to it. When we calculated the living expenses, it was much more than what we get outside. If you want to help Zhou Wu's family, I have nothing to say, but don't focus on You Yuan and Jiang Meng."
Then Zhou Yin hung up the phone with an annoyed look on her face, and Chen Dingxiang listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone.
For a moment, I was unable to react and stared blankly at the page on my phone.
