Chapter 4 Frugality
Ji Qingling's appetite is not large, and she ordered a cup of soy milk and an egg cake for breakfast, she was not fat, but since she got married, her weight has risen sharply, because she spends too much time in the kitchen every day, he likes to eat sweets, so she changes her tricks to make him delicious, but unfortunately he never cares, there are only a handful of days when he goes home to eat every month, and she is reluctant to throw away those uneaten delicacies, and over time she has fattened herself.
Looking back on these dream-like ten years, it's like watching an absurd movie, and being the protagonist is really stupid and ridiculous.
After breakfast, she found the beauty salon according to the address given by Kong Xin, which is not far from his home, and it only takes ten minutes to walk.
But does she still care about that now? She was so poor that she was left with only money.
Although he doesn't have a job, he carries the card given by his father and husband in his wallet, and if he doesn't have the luxury, he is sorry for living this life again.
Ji Qingling's father Ji Jingui is not a person who was born with a golden price, not only is he not a golden person, but he can also be said to be poor, in Ji Qingling's memory, his childhood self was nested in a leaky bungalow with his parents, and someone came to the door to scold and ask Ji Jingui to pay back.
Among the neighbors in the village, Ji Jingui was a little smart, but he was not a serious second-rate child, and the family ate bran and vegetables for seven or eight years, and her mother died of illness when she was in the second grade of primary school.
Before his mother's bones were cold, Ji Jingui brought back a woman and a little boy from outside, forcing her to call "Mom" and "Brother", it turned out that long before his mother died, he hooked up with this ** outside, and gave birth to a son, this younger brother is only three years younger than her.
Ji Qingling, who was born with a bun, didn't show much rebellion in this matter, of course, Ji Jingui and her slightly mean-looking stepmother never thought of pleasing her, compared to their "love crystallization", she is naturally insignificant.
Ji Jingui is destined to be a restless person, although in the eyes of the villagers he is not steady and down-to-earth, but he does have an amazing sense of business, relying on speculation to save the first pot of gold, he began to get involved in the real estate market, at first those ups and downs, and was on the verge of bankruptcy, but he gritted his teeth and held on, and now Ji's Group is not only a real estate predator, but also a private school, a private hospital, a catering club...... Anything that can make money, he has tried to get involved, and even began to get involved in the cultural investment business over the years, wearing cloth robes, holding one hundred and eight beeswax bracelets in his hands, drinking tea and burning incense all day long, thinking that he can transform from a local tyrant to a Confucian businessman.
Ji Jingui's life is getting better and better, and his wealth is prosperous, but as his daughter, Ji Qingling has not been touched by her father much in her twenty years of life, after all, he is a man who does great things, and he doesn't have much time and energy to dedicate love to his daughter, not to mention that Ji Qingling has been introverted and shy since she was a child, not a child who likes adults, in Ji Jingui's heart, she is just a dispensable family.
For so many years, the family has been single-handedly taken care of by Ji Qingling's stepmother, this woman is not broad-minded, and she has no good face for the children left by this ex-wife, although she will not be abused, scolded, deducted and humiliated, but she is by no means generous, except for the basic living expenses, she does not have any special treatment, and she has to help with housework when she is at home, and the food and clothing are not even as good as the children of the servants at home, not to mention her younger brother who got a multi-million sports car before he became an adult.
Ji Qingling is a complete bun, this is probably also inherited from her mother's genes, so many years of obedience, never thought of resisting, not even self-pity, after going to college, the little living expenses given by her stepmother were not enough to support her living needs, she went out to work silently, and she didn't even have time to go home during the winter and summer vacations, of course, no one would care if she didn't go back.
During that time, she worked like crazy, more than those poor students, because they at least had student loans and poverty subsidies, she had nothing but scholarships, but the effort was still rewarded, relying on the money earned from part-time work, she not only supported herself, but also traveled a lot of places with a backpack, and she never complained about her optimistic attitude towards life.
But this experience still had an impact on her character, because she was poorer than the average person, not to mention compared with those rich and noble families, her thrifty approach to treating herself was not only disliked by her husband and not loved by her son, but also disliked by her mother-in-law for three days.
Although Ji Qingling's stepmother is a woman who is not easy to get along with, she is not blessed after all, she has suffered with Ji Jingui over the years, and she has also been rich, the days are getting better and better, and Ji Jingui's womanhood is getting better and better, the Ji family is going to stage a drama of beating the junior at both ends in three days, of course, this Mrs. Ji has long forgotten that she is also the top junior in the upper position, even if she is an iron beater, she can't withstand the anger of such a long time, when Ji Qingling was twenty years old, Mrs. Ji finally let go.
For her death, the whole Ji family did not have much sadness, not to mention Ji Qingling, Ji Jingui only shed a few tears in front of people, if it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to a son for herself, they would probably have divorced a long time ago, after all, Ji Jingui's career has become big and he has a wide range of knowledge, every time he goes home and sees this yellow-faced woman who has no looks, no culture, no temperament, and cries all day long, it is strange that he is not bored.
The most incredible thing is Ji Qingling's half-brother Ji Qingbao, this boy who was pampered by his mother, not only did his studies get a mess, but his character was not much better.
Ji Qingling didn't feel so much back then, and even had a trace of happiness in his heart, but now looking back, he actually has a trace of sympathy for his stepmother.
Regardless of her character, judging from this life alone, their lives are a tragedy, what about the brocade clothes and food? Without the love of her husband, without a cute and sensible child, those who have not experienced the bitterness and pain will never be able to understand.
Ji Qingling, who had been frugal all his life, grabbed the card in his hand, and suddenly felt that he didn't care, it turned out that spending money was not as difficult as he imagined.
