The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

Fan Xiuying sighed as soon as she heard about the money.

After dinner, Fan Xiuying went into the room.

She opened a drawer and took out a notebook.

Inside were their savings.

Savings account?

Non-existent!

Nowadays, who can save money?

Especially when they spend everything every month, whatever is left is in the notebook.

If something unexpected happens, who’s going to the bank?

Isn’t it all taken out from one’s own notebook?

No matter how Fan Xiuying counted, it was eighty-two yuan and fifty cents, plus thirty pounds of coarse grain coupons and twenty pounds of national grain coupons, three cloth coupons, and nothing else.

The younger daughter is leaving in a month, she needs to buy some things! She also needs to take money.

The second daughter just had a child.

Sigh.

Why is spending money so costly?

Fan Xiuying calculated with a headache.

If she takes care of her two daughters, there will likely be nothing left at home.

But next month, she still has to pay five yuan for Old Mrs. Jiang’s pension and send five yuan to her own relatives, this...

How could Fan Xiuying not have a headache?

Her mother and three brothers back home aren’t living easily, her father’s legs aren’t good and requires medication all year round. If she doesn’t help her family, their days will be even harder.

Money is needed everywhere.

Money, money.

The door opened, and Jiang Xiaoxiao sneaked in.

Fan Xiuying closed the notebook.

"You little girl, what are you up to? Got any mischievous idea?"

Fan Xiuying looked at her daughter as if she was a thief, sneakily hugging two books.

The couple were uneducated, so they basically didn’t have such things at home.

Unless it was the children’s.

But really, none of them had high education, the highest might just be Jiang Xiao.

But they were all nearly the same.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t study well either, those books were sold long ago.

"Mom, keep it down, let me show you something."

Jiang Xiaoxiao placed the dictionary in front of Fan Xiuying.

Fan Xiuying looked, then looked at her daughter again.

She jabbed Jiang Xiaoxiao on the forehead hard.

"You little clever pest. What are you up to now, just tell me, what are you doing with a dictionary for your mom? I’m this old already, you know that, your dad and I only recognize a handful of words, not more than that."

She pushed the dictionary aside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao got anxious.

She placed the dictionary back in front of her.

"Mom, this dictionary is genuinely good stuff. You don’t know the words, but you’ve heard the saying, right? Those literature-loving folks always say, ’There are beauties like jade in books, there is wealth like gold in books.’"

Jiang Xiaoxiao deliberately emphasized the golden mansion.

Fan Xiuying laughed so much, her eyes were squeezed together.

"Alright, alright, you’re talking about golden mansions, huh? There’s no golden mansion in this book, if there was, would your dad and mom still need to work?"

Jiang Lao Shi entered the room.

"What are the mother and daughter quietly doing here? I heard you both giggling before I even entered."

Jiang Lao Shi closed the door, with a friendly demeanor.

Whenever he saw his daughter and wife, Jiang Lao Shi really was friendly and amiable.

Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged Jiang Lao Shi’s arm, looking upset, "Dad, look at Mom. I brought good stuff for her, and she is laughing at me."

Ever since she was little, she was the family’s little tyrant; her parents, brothers, and sisters would always give in to her.

Jiang Lao Shi helplessly smiled and scratched his head.

"Then your mom is wrong; what good stuff did you bring for your mom? Why didn’t you bring anything for your dad too? I’m going to get jealous."

When it comes to his wife and daughter, of course, his little darling comes first.

Fan Xiuying laughed and slid the dictionary to Jiang Lao Shi.

"You’re jealous? Alright, alright, alright, the precious thing your daughter gave me, I’m gifting it to you—all yours, I don’t want it."

When Jiang Lao Shi saw the dictionary, he felt overwhelmed.

Although they were both city workers, they truly weren’t well-educated.

In their era, the family was so poor they couldn’t even afford food, let alone education.

He barely graduated from junior high school, while his wife dropped out after third grade in elementary school.

His elementary school education already made him considered educated within the factory.

Some couldn’t even recognize a single character, and during payday, he had to help sign the checks while they pressed their thumbprint on it.

Many calculated output using circles and crosses as digits.

Seeing such a thick dictionary.

How could his head not ache?

"My daughter, you really brought such good stuff for your dad and mom, huh."

Jiang Lao Shi sat on the edge of the bed.

After washing up, they were preparing to rest early.

"Dad, it really is good stuff. Mom doesn’t appreciate it, but if you don’t either, that’s not appropriate. I gave this with genuine intent! Solid intent; if you don’t look at it, I’ll really be mad."

Jiang Xiaoxiao pouted, feeling she truly had a bit of a temper now.

In her past life, she was already in her fifties, yet she can still be like this at eighteen.

Upon meeting her parents, feeling the warmth and love, her mindset suddenly reverted to a spoiled young girl.

This must be the result of having parents’ affection.

Jiang Lao Shi saw his daughter’s pouting capable of hanging an oil bottle, so he surrendered.

No choice, since they’ve pampered this child all their lives.

As long as it’s this child, they endure any temper, they agree to any mischievous idea.

Otherwise, the child can throw a fit and make a scene.

Of course, their Xiao Xiao wouldn’t actually throw tantrums. She didn’t play the shrew game.

Instead, she’d shed tears and go on a hunger strike.

Compared to throwing tantrums, they were even more helpless with their daughter’s method.

They could only take the dictionary, "Alright, alright! I’ll see if your intention is genuine! Don’t shed tears! Your dad can’t handle your little golden beans."

It’s pretty heavy.

Jiang Lao Shi casually opened it.

Then he was momentarily stunned.

He looked up at his daughter, and took out an oiled paper wrap.

"Hey, kid, how come you ruin things like this? Digging such a big hole in this book, what does that say? If it were before when schools were open, wouldn’t the teacher scold you? Even if you don’t care about it, don’t waste this paper, it’s still good for lighting fires. What do you say?"

Fan Xiuying turned her head upon hearing this and saw the oiled paper package in her husband’s hand.

"You little girl, what are you up to again? You bought some treats for us, didn’t you? As they say, there’s no such thing as a free meal, what’s the scheme? Don’t want to go to the countryside now? I always said you weren’t cut out for it; yet you didn’t listen to your mom and dad. Ran to the director to report.

Now with the big notice posted, if I go back to the director for a change, it’ll be a lot of begging around."

Fan Xiuying thought her daughter was having second thoughts.
