Chapter 294: Tragic Life After Marriage (3)

And this was before they had added much furniture.

Zhou Hong had retained their old furniture and they had not managed to take much furniture when they moved. Now, Wang Guozhu had no money and could not buy furniture.

Gu Ruoqing hurriedly dashed to see her room. It was a far cry from the princess room she had imagined that pampered young ladies lived in.

The room was two meters wide and three meters long… no, in fact, it was less than three meters long. Inside it was a narrow single bed, and there was no other furniture.

Instead, many broken things were piled up in the room.

Besides a bed, the room had no table, cupboard, or chests. Instead, things were piled untidily in it. There was only a thin blanket on the bed. The bedsheets were also thin and stiff.

This…

These conditions were far worse than in the Gu house!

“Father…” Gu Ruoqing screamed, “Why is my room so small? Where’s the furniture? I want a cupboard, a big one, and chests. I…”

“Where am I supposed to find a cupboard? Your room is only so big, you can’t fit any more things in it. Also, the rest of the house is small and we need space for other things. You’re a girl. How many things can you have? In the future, all these things will be placed in your room.”

Gu Ruoqing: “…”

She was completely shocked.

Zhang Xiaohui dashed to see their master bedroom. It was equally pathetic.

There was no cupboard, only a chest, and an old one too. The blankets were thin and she could tell at a glance that they were old. They had just gotten married, but even their sheets were old.

In the entire house, only the two old folks had a cupboard in their room. There were two old chairs in the living room. There was no table even…

When they ate, they had to hold their bowls to eat…

But at that point, Zhang Xiaohui did not know that this was just the beginning. In the future, she would meet even more terrible and horrifying problems.

For example, in their family, only Wang Guozhu had an account in the city, a job, a salary, and food rations. The others had nothing.

Wang Guozhu earned 40 yuan a month and with some bonus, he might get 45 yuan.

Of that, he had to give 15 yuan to Zhou Xiaoyu every month, which left a salary of 30 yuan.

He had food rations every month, but he had to use cash to purchase them. The grain in the shops was not expensive, but except for grain, everything else had to be bought with cash.

They could not just eat grain. They must also have seasonings and vegetables. All this needed money. It was not like the village where they had their private plots of land.

Wang Guozhu’s food rations were sufficient only for himself. He only had a few grain coupons every month. Even if they ate less, it was at most, sufficient for two people to live on. And even then, they could only eat coarse grain.

For the rest, they had to pay exorbitant prices on the black market to buy them.

After deducting their essential expenses, his meager salary was insufficient to buy a few kilograms of expensive grain…

Also…

When he was with Zhang Xiaohui, he had spent a lot of money to pacify her and calm Zhou Hong. He also owed many debts. All these had to be repaid…

Gu Qingyao was well aware of the Wang family’s situation. She had been sniggering at home ever since Zhang Xiaohui had married Wang Guozhu. She longed to see Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing’s expressions. Hahaha!

March passed quickly.

The weather turned warm and the wild vegetables grew fast. Many people could be seen digging for wild vegetables on the hillside.

Gu Qingyao brought Gu Fangting and Little Six and Little Nine, whom Eldest Uncle had left behind, and the two Mo family children to the mountainside to dig for wild vegetables.
