The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

Fang Xiaohui rushed off to the Song family as soon as she left the house.

She wouldn’t let things get out of hand.

Her parents weren’t the kind to be protective over their daughter.

Besides, she wasn’t their biological daughter.

People have to fend for themselves, or face ruin.

...

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed Fan Xiuying to shop.

A big bag of goods.

They bought over ten pounds of cotton alone.

Their family had run out of cotton ration tickets, and this was after Fan Xiuying borrowed several of them.

"Mom, that’s enough, it’s almost too much. Don’t buy the washbasins, hot water bottles, and such. I can’t carry them on the way, especially if the hot bottle gets damaged, it’ll be useless. I’d rather buy it at the village. Even if the village is poor, they must have a supply and sales cooperative."

She was exhausted.

Her mom wanted to practically move an entire cooperative home, and she could only resign herself to the soaps, shampoos, and such.

These things were necessary, but other items should be avoided if not essential.

She knew the trains to the countryside were crowded, packed with people shoulder to shoulder.

With all these things, she might even get things stolen in the crowd.

She did have the space.

But she would be traveling with revolutionary comrades she’d be spending a lot of time with.

If she came empty-handed but suddenly had lots of things, wouldn’t she be showing everyone she had something shady?

She wasn’t stupid.

Fan Xiuying fretted over her daughter’s words.

Yes, so many things were needed.

This child with her small frame couldn’t carry so much. Not to mention needing someone to care for her on the way, and things might even get lost along the way. Perhaps, preparing some money for her daughter would be better.

The two finally returned home, Fan Xiuying realized her daughter Fang Xiaohui wasn’t home, the house was empty, and no one was there.

So, she closed the door, pulled her daughter into her room, drew the curtains, and closed the door.

"Mom, what are you doing? Acting like a thief?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao was so tired she wanted to collapse.

Recently, with more people heading to the countryside, the supply and sales cooperatives were packed, shoulder to shoulder, squeezing in and squeezing out required physical strength, and this kind of task wasn’t bearable for just anyone.

This body was not like in her past life, when years of grueling work had toughened her up, now she was fragile.

"You kid always spouts nonsense."

Fan Xiuying opened her cabinet, which was locked securely.

Yesterday, Jiang Lao had exchange those gold bars for money.

Those two gold bars brought over five thousand yuan.

Over five thousand.

Fan Xiuying hadn’t slept well last night; the couple’s combined monthly salary was only over forty yuan.

These two gold bars equated to their ten years’ salary, could the couple sleep soundly?

Initially anxious, then came all kinds of worries.

Mainly worried about thieves at home. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

There were plenty of burglars these past years, breaking and entering was not uncommon.

Fan Xiuying locked the money in a small box, put it inside a camphor wood box inside the wardrobe, locked it again, then locked the wardrobe outside again, layers of locks, otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone out today.

Cautiously she opened the money wrapped in the handkerchief to show Xiaoxiao.

"Silly girl, here is 1000 yuan. Mom will put it on you, just in case you urgently need it, but don’t keep it all in one place, I’ve already thought it through.

We’ll sew extra pockets into your inner clothes and pin the money inside. When spending, only take from one place."

Fan Xiuying gestured with the money, already pondering how to sew pockets into her daughter’s clothing.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s eyes were red.

In her past life, when she left the Fang family for the countryside, they only equipped her with five yuan.

Not even any bedding was prepared, she was given five yuan and sent straight to the countryside.

How much is five yuan worth?

When she got there, she didn’t even have a thin blanket in cold winter.

Had it not been for kind Sister Jia Shu taking care of her.

She would have died there long ago.

There wouldn’t have been a later her.

"Mom, this is too much money, keep it with you. There’s still much need for money at home, when Brother replaces Dad’s job, your income decreases. I don’t want you to toil so hard, making paper boxes day and night with fingers all cut up by the cardboard, over time, that’s no good.

I wanted you to keep this money with you, for Brother’s wedding costs, anything needed at home, you’d have money and not worry. What’s the point of giving me so much? I won’t need money when I’m there. Think about it, it’s the countryside, even if I wanted to spend, is there a place to spend?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao pushed the money back.

She had thought this through, otherwise she wouldn’t intercept.

Fan Xiuying laughed, "Silly girl. Who dislikes too much money! You are silly! Mom and Dad put money with you just in case an emergency happens, and can’t send a telegram in time. Having money is always better when needed, than facing shortage. Mom and Dad spent a lifetime deprived, knowing a life without money is tough.

Especially when you arrive at the countryside, that place will be even harder. What do Mom and Dad need so much money for? We are still capable, strong, can still work. This money was meant for you kids, each gets a share.

Mom and Dad saved it for you, in emergencies, everyone would have some. We at least have a pension. Although can’t live luxuriously, but definitely won’t starve or freeze. Stop worrying yourself."

Fan Xiuying stuffed the money back to Jiang Xiaoxiao, then hurriedly put the small box back into the big box, locked it again, and locked the wardrobe again.

The swift actions were seamless.

Jiang Xiaoxiao giggled.

"Mom, you’re so good!"

She cuddled her mom, acting affectionate.

Fan Xiuying embraced Jiang Xiaoxiao, stroking the child’s long hair.

"You know, mom isn’t truly at ease with you going to the countryside, you’ve never suffered, suddenly going there, what kind of hardship you will face! You just won’t listen, you know your brother is tough, he can bear any hardship in the countryside. Staying with mom and dad would be better, but you insist on facing this adversity."

She firmly poked Jiang Xiaoxiao’s forehead.

Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled, rubbing her forehead against Fan Xiuying’s shoulder.

"Mom, you and Dad can’t protect me forever, ultimately I have to walk my own path. I’d rather face a little hardship now, than suffer all my life."

Fan Xiuying sighed.

Yes, they can’t shield the child forever!
