Chapter 4 I've Never Been So Poor
Xu Qinghuan walked through the magnificent front hall. The mirror-like floor tiles reflected her shadow. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she was as bright as a crabapple blossoming in the sun, delicate and beautiful, like the bright clouds in the morning sky.

When we arrived at the backyard, there was a medicine house in the northeast corner.

The cabinet on the north side is full of pills. After she obtained this space in her previous life, she also tried to cultivate immortality, but unfortunately immortality did not appeal to her, so she only studied the medical books and some pill recipes in the space.

It was a great help to her in studying medicine.

Although there are many pills here, Xu Qinghuan didn't dare to touch them easily. The bodies of ordinary people are different from those of immortal cultivators. They are too weak. Eating any pill may improve others' skills, but eating it may make them ascend to heaven directly.

There was a gourd ladle next to it, and mountain stream water full of spiritual energy flowed through it. Xu Qinghuan was thirsty from talking just now, so he scooped up a ladle of water and drank it, and felt refreshed.

There are a few rice, flour, vegetables and meat in the kitchen. The space is full of spiritual energy. After the food brought in from outside is left for a while, its effect is almost the same as the spiritual rice and flour originally stored here. That's why Xu Qinghuan habitually stocks some here.

If she had known earlier, she would have stocked up more.

There is no electricity in the space, but there is underground fire, which can be used for cooking after being activated. However, Xu Qinghuan was very busy in his previous life and had no time to enter this space to experience life. The earthen pot has not been used for many years.

Fortunately, the space also has the function of preserving freshness and heat. Xu Qinghuan would put the steamed buns and packed meals he bought into the space. Over time, he had some stock.

Today's dinner consisted of cornmeal dumplings, a plate of boiled vegetables, and a plate of pickled vegetables. The dumplings that were scooped into Xu Qinghuan's bowl were probably two lumps as big as cow's eyes. Before she could even pick up her chopsticks, the vegetables were snatched away.

My stomach feels like it hasn't eaten anything, and I feel so hungry.

Xu Qinghuan went to the kitchen first and found two meat buns on the stove. They were still piping hot. He took a bite and the delicious aroma of the meat filled his mouth and rolled on the tip of his tongue. Driven by hunger, Xu Qinghuan gobbled it up voraciously. He swallowed a bun as big as an adult's fist in just three or four bites.

He ate too fast and nearly choked to death. Xu Qinghuan quickly opened a bottle of mineral water and took a few sips. When he was about to eat another bun, he saw a box of sweet-scented osmanthus braised pork next to it.

This was when she was on a business trip to Shandong Province and was eating at a restaurant. She thought the braised pork was delicious and packed up three servings at once.

Never had a chance to eat it.

Xu Qinghuan opened a box of rice. It was steamed Wuchang rice, with crystal clear and plump grains. She put a few pieces of braised pork in it and poured some soup into it. It was so delicious that she almost swallowed it.

After chewing slowly and finishing his meal, Xu Qinghuan burped, touched his stomach, and slowly came out of the kitchen.

Going around a white jade mountain, two cranes were combing their feathers with their long beaks under the shade of a tree. Further ahead was the back hall where she lived. Entering through the back door, there was a misty hot spring pool.

Outside, Xu Manman was sleeping like a dead pig, so Xu Qinghuan decided to go down and take a bath to stretch his muscles.

This body is much weaker than her previous life.

In her previous life, she was a third-generation rich family with substantial assets. Her parents divorced and started their own families, and she became the redundant one.

In order to gain her parents' attention, she worked hard to learn various skills, such as horse riding, shooting, ball games, swimming... Although she was ultimately not accepted by her parents, she had strong physical fitness and was appreciated by her grandfather.

Before he died, grandpa left all his assets and family business to her.

Before traveling through time, she had assets worth 320 billion.

She was admitted to medical university at the age of seventeen and completed her first complex surgical operation at the age of nineteen, making her mark in the medical field.

At the age of 25, he became a genius doctor renowned both at home and abroad, saving countless lives through the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

Fortunately, she had long since given up her obsession with her parents and made a will, dedicating all her wealth to the nation in the event of an accident. After all, some things can never be reversed. Even if her parents loved her back, she might not be able to let go. Since their fate was so shallow, it would be better for them to live their lives in peace and not worry about each other.

Early the next morning, Wang Mingxia called Xu Manman to their room. It was unknown what she said to Xu Manman. When Xu Manman came out, she was overjoyed, and her eyes were full of weirdness when she looked at Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Manman didn't know what was wrong with her. She ate her breakfast very quickly, wiped her mouth, and rushed out. "Mom, I have something else to do. I'm leaving now!"

After the family finished eating, Xu Liqun and his wife and the eldest and second sons went to work. The third son Xu threw away his bowl and chopsticks, lay down on the sofa, covered his face with a newspaper, and looked very depressed.

No one wants to go to the countryside. There are too many educated young people in the city and too few jobs. Finding a job is harder than climbing to the sky.

Xu Qinghuan packed up the dishes and went downstairs to look for a job as usual. It wasn't that she wanted to stay in the city, but she had heard that jobs in this era could be sold for money.

She had only twenty-seven cents left and had never been so poor.

Downstairs in the family building, there were two rows of ping-pong tables. Xu Manman and Jiang Chengxu were standing between the two tables, talking. "Brother Chengxu, it's my sister's birthday the day after tomorrow. I haven't bought her a birthday present yet. Have you prepared anything?"

"Can you help me find out..."

Seeing Xu Qinghuan, Jiang Chengxu quickly left Xu Manman and ran over, "Qinghuan, where are you going? I'll take you there."

Seeing Xu Manman coming over like a tail, Xu Qinghuan frowned and said calmly, "I'm going to find a job, I don't need you to send me off."

Jiang Chengxu felt extremely distressed. "Qinghuan, it's hard to find a job now. If you really can't find one, forget it. In the future... you still have me!"

Jiang Chengxu's cheeks flushed. He came early in the morning to find Xu Qinghuan to explain. After all, they were an engaged couple, so they should have more trust in each other.

Of course, he would not bother with Xu Qinghuan. After all, she cared about him too much.

Xu Manman's eyes flashed with a cruel look, but she quickly raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "Yes, sister, don't be anxious and angry, there is still your brother-in-law."

Xu Qinghuan said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop shouting."

I didn't want to bother with these two people and didn't want to waste time, so I left.

Jiang Chengxu was about to catch up when Xu Manman grabbed his sleeve again, "Brother Chengxu, did I say something wrong? You two are already engaged, so is it wrong for me to call you brother-in-law?"

Jiang Chengxu's eyebrows were filled with impatience. "Manman, if you want to call me brother-in-law, you should wait until I marry your sister!"

After saying that, he pulled his sleeve, and Xu Manman fell to the side, hitting her head on the ping-pong table, and bleeding profusely on the spot.

"Ah!" Xu Manman closed her eyes and fainted.

Jiang Chengxu was completely stunned, but he didn't have time to think about it. He picked up Xu Manman and rushed out of the family compound. He didn't notice at all that Xu Manman opened her eyes halfway and glanced at him sideways.

At this time, Xu Qinghuan had already walked out of the family compound and turned right. After walking for a while, he saw Jiang Chengxu holding Xu Manman and rushing out like the wind.

"Qinghuan, Manman fell down. Go and push my bike out so we can take her to the hospital." Jiang Chengxu saw Xu Qinghuan as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
