Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 1115 80 Little Stutterer Pork Shop 10

It's actually very inconvenient for someone with a stutter to do business; it's inconvenient in every way. Plus, he hadn't received any treatment, and he was often ridiculed by the village children and young people because of his stutter.

So he became increasingly reluctant to speak.

Until the old lady fell ill, he had no choice but to sell pork and do odd jobs to save money for her medical expenses.

He suffered a lot of losses when selling pork because of his stutter.

It wasn't much better when he went to do odd jobs; there were always people who deducted his wages because he stuttered and couldn't speak clearly.

He had been to the town hospital several times, but each time he would just watch the IV drip, watching the medicine drip down the tube, passing the time in this way.

When I get hungry, I buy two steamed buns to eat for the day because they're the cheapest.

There are still many places where he needs to spend money, so he doesn't dare to spend it recklessly.

He never thought anything of it, after all, that's how life goes, and that's how he's lived for so many years.

Even now, there is someone by his side who helps him clarify things he can't explain or communicate with the doctors and nurses.

In this cold, impersonal hospital where he could only stand still, he finally had someone to eat with. The feeling was indescribable; he just felt so good, so very good.

It's so good it feels like a dream.

So Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile.

The two of them enjoyed a warm and cozy meal, surrounded by a gentle breeze, spring warmth, and blooming flowers, their eyes filled with tender affection... Meanwhile, the caregivers and awake patients in the other beds nearby were practically drooling.

The fragrant, juicy aroma of meat and eggs filled their nostrils; just by smelling them, they knew how delicious and fragrant the meat and eggs were.

Who exactly is this patient in bed number 3? They look similar to the others in terms of clothing and don't seem like a wealthy person. How could they afford to eat eggs and meat for a single meal?

Even for people in town, eating meat is something they only do on celebratory or joyous occasions, when they're willing to spend a few dollars for a good meal.

After all, the employees in the town only earn twenty or thirty yuan a month, and they still have to use that for living expenses. Spending a few yuan on a meal of meat is a luxury.

They wouldn't eat it all in one meal; they'd divide it into several meals.

As a result, the two of them came to the hospital, and they were even eating meat and eggs. The patients next to them, who were originally crying out in pain, stopped crying and stared at them, swallowing their saliva again and again, completely captivated by the aroma of the meat.

It's a pity, we can only smell it. These days, being hospitalized is already an expense, where would we find spare money to buy meat to eat? How can we make a living like this?

After the two finished their meal, Chen Ping'an took the bowl and chopsticks from Ling Yao's hands.

"Excuse me, could you help me? Look, I... I'll wash the dishes."

After seeing Ling Yao nod, Chen Ping'an took the bowl and chopsticks to the communal handwashing station.

It's a long pool with hot water, provided for patients and their caregivers to wash up.

Many patients who brought their own lunchboxes were washing dishes here.

These days, most people can't afford soapberries, so they mostly use loofah sponges to wash dishes.

The loofah sponge is the fibrous network inside a mature loofah, somewhat like a sponge, and can be used to wash stovetops and dishes.

Although Chen Ping'an ate steamed buns before, he naturally couldn't let Old Madam Chen, who was ill, eat steamed buns as well. Chen Ping'an would buy some side dishes to go with rice porridge and white rice.

So I brought a loofah with me when I went out today, and it came in handy now.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks thoroughly, Chen Pingan rinsed the loofah and drained the water from the lunchbox before turning back to the ward.

Lingyao bought a bowl of porridge to prepare for the old lady, thinking that she could eat it if she woke up.

However, the old lady was probably not feeling well. Although she drank two glasses of warm water and took medicine while still half asleep, she was not fully awake.

After finishing her meal, Lingyao left the hospital.

She went to the town's shopping mall to look for ways to make money. In this era, regulations have just been relaxed, and opportunities are lurking everywhere; it just depends on whether you can discover them.

However, before Lingyao could find an opportunity after entering, she bumped into Lu Wanying.

She was accompanied by a girl, whom Lingyao vaguely remembered. She was probably the only girl who had a good relationship with Lu Wanying here.

Xia Qin is a saleswoman at a clothing store in town.

One was a city girl, and the other was a clothing store saleswoman; their attire made them stand out from the crowd at first glance.

Lu Wanying was wearing a white top and a floral skirt, while Xia Qin next to her was wearing a floral shirt and flared pants. Both of them were wearing the most fashionable and trendy sunglasses that were currently on TV and in newspapers.

Although it was hard to describe from Lingyao's forward-thinking perspective, it was very trendy to people today. Most people still wear homemade cloth clothes, and it's considered good if they have a piece of clothing that isn't patched.

When buying clothes, I usually look for something convenient for work or chores.

Those who are slightly more fashionable are those with formal jobs, who will be issued a decent uniform, and some people wish they could wear their uniforms every day.

Not only do they look better than my usual clothes, but they also make it seem like I have a formal job!

Soon, the two people wearing sunglasses also saw Lingyao.

Lu Wanying stopped in her tracks, remembering that Ling Yao hadn't helped her last time, and then walked over in her little leather shoes.

However, she didn't dare to get too close. She stood a step away from Ling Yao, and like a movie star, she tilted her head back, raised her hand, and tossed her hair to take off her sunglasses.

After glancing at Lingyao, he said sarcastically, "Oh, Jiang Lingyao, what brings you here? Don't you have time to clear the land in the mountains anymore? Can you even afford the stuff in this mall?"

There are two reasons why Lu Wanying dared to say that.

Firstly, this is a shopping mall, where there are employees and security guards watching over us, and there are people standing next to her. Even if Jiang Lingyao dares to go crazy at her, she is not afraid!

Secondly, her train back to the city is the day after tomorrow. She came to the mall today to buy some things she would need on the way, so she will stay in Jianghe Village for the last two days. She is not afraid of Jiang Lingyao's revenge at all.

Lingyao could have acted directly, but she didn't because she saw a seashell hair clip on Lu Wanying's hair flashing at her.

The newly rich man screamed, "Honey, that's something good I gave you! Go grab it back! Left uppercut, right backhand swipe..."

Lingyao: ...Where is that commander who told her not to be too violent?

The hair clip on Lu Wanying's head seemed to think that Ling Yao hadn't noticed it, and it became even shinier.

After all, it was a magical treasure, and upon seeing its master arrive, it naturally cried out that it wanted to go home.

Lingyao looked at Lu Wanying, her voice "gentle".

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you, something about Wang Gui. Let's talk in private..."
