Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 123 is useless, useless...

Although the use of receipts will be abolished soon, Wang Chengpeng is willing to maintain a good relationship with her just because she works at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Moreover, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst; at least for now, Wang Chengpeng is still in dire need of the relevant vouchers to exchange for grain.

Although he was rich, this was an era where money didn't necessarily buy everything.

In addition, their extravagant spending on meat, rice, and flour has indeed improved their lives, but it has also made their savings on ration coupons increasingly scarce.

Considering that illegally buying and selling bills is a criminal offense, even though he had the money, it was extremely troublesome to buy them each time.

With the help of Song Wenxin, a staff member of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Chengpeng was able to save a lot of time.

It must be said that the supply and marketing cooperative was one of the best organizations of this era; its office building alone looked much more impressive than that of the Hongqu Textile Factory.

After giving a few instructions to the security guards at the entrance, Wang Chengpeng was able to move around freely as long as he didn't cause any trouble.

Song Wenxin was also very efficient in her work, and soon brought Wang Chengpeng a thick stack of receipts.

They may not look thick, and they mainly consist of meat coupons and grain coupons, but they are actually quite valuable.

Because each of the tickets here is the largest denomination, enough for Wang Chengpeng's family to use for a long time.

Looking at his watch on his left wrist, Wang Chengpeng realized it was getting late, so he said goodbye and rode his bicycle home.

The other items in the "Three Turns and Two Sounds" set are easy to handle; they can be used directly at home. However, the women's watch is a bit more difficult to deal with.

No matter how much Liu Chunhua pleaded, she simply refused to accept it, saying that such a precious thing on her wrist could only be damaged while she was working.

Fortunately, Wang Chengpeng was prepared for this and made an agreement with the salesperson at the beginning of the purchase that he could exchange it for another watch of the same price within a month.

For Wang Chengpeng, who frequently travels between urban and rural areas, it is a good auxiliary tool.

Wang Chengpeng rode his bike very fast, but unfortunately his home was too far from Shanghe City. By the time he was almost home, it was getting dark.

Even before the sky had completely darkened, Wang Chengpeng could already see the smoke rising from his own chimney in the distance.

Further away, he could even see his mother eagerly waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Once upon a time, this scene could only appear in dreams, but now it has become a reality.

The moment Liu Chunhua saw Wang Chengpeng, she rushed over anxiously and said:

"You child, it's so late and you're still not home."

"Work is important, making money is important, but we can't forget about eating, can we?"

Listening to his mother's nagging, Wang Chengpeng felt all his exhaustion vanish, and all his unspoken words were reduced to a simple sentence:
"I am back!"

After wiping his face with hot water, Wang Chengpeng headed straight for the restaurant.

Although it was getting late, the family hadn't started eating yet, waiting for Wang Chengpeng to join them.

Although it was just leftovers from yesterday, the family enjoyed it immensely as long as they were together.

……

The next day, Wang Chengpeng went to town early, hoping to spend more time teaching Shi Ren and He Quan.

After all, Wang Chengpeng was their nominal mentor and had received some commission from them, so he should teach them some real skills.

As for their decision, after careful consideration, they decided to focus on Ji Yongyue's repair business.

Opportunities to change one's fate are few and far between, and having missed many, they don't want to miss another one.

As for their work at the repair shop, they temporarily put it on hold and did not resign, but instead took a long leave of absence like Wang Chengpeng.

There's a reason why a job with an iron rice bowl is considered secure: as long as you don't go too far, you generally won't be fired.

The weather is nice today; the sun feels warm and cozy on my skin.

Wang Chengpeng subconsciously slowed down his cycling speed and began to enjoy the beauty of life. Now, he finally has the right to enjoy life.

After practicing martial arts, Wang Chengpeng's senses gradually became sharper.

As he passed by Shen Wei's house, he inexplicably felt a resentful gaze fixed on him.

Looking back, she found Shen Wei staring at her with a resentful look, like a woman confined to her boudoir.

What's going on? Shouldn't this guy be happy about taking over this business? Why is he looking at me with such resentment?

I didn't do anything!

Not afraid of being provoked, Wang Chengpeng shook his head slightly and sped away.

After moving to the new house, he will no longer have to pass by this road, making it even more difficult for him to have any interaction with Shen Wei.

If the other party wasn't deliberately courting death, Wang Chengpeng wouldn't bother to kill him.

Watching Wang Chengpeng leave, Shen Wei's resentment deepened.

The warm sunlight shone on him, but it did not bring him any warmth whatsoever.

"It's ruined, ruined, ruined..."

Shen Wei's eyes were glazed over, his lips twitched, and he kept repeating the word "useless".

The doctor visibly sighed upon seeing Shen Wei, an old acquaintance, being brought over again.

Especially after seeing Shen Wei's injuries, the doctor's expression became increasingly subtle, and he said:

"I have good news and bad news. Which news would you like to hear first?"

Upon hearing the doctor's words, both families felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that something was amiss.

The doctor sighed? What's the difference between that and a death warrant?
Shen's mother asked anxiously, "Doctor, please tell me the good news first."

The doctor nodded and said, "The good news is that you were brought to the hospital in time and your life is not in danger."

"As for the bad news..."

The doctor sighed again and said, "That thing is ruined."

“I warned him last time not to overexert himself for three months, but he not only ignored me, he also suffered another serious setback.”

"It's already a great blessing that he survived. As for other things, you... should pay more attention to the patient's psychological state."

Wasted?

The Shen family of three felt as if the sky had fallen.

Although rural areas in this era were mostly populated by families who violated the one-child policy, there were also some families with few descendants, leaving behind only one son.

Coincidentally, the Shen family was in the same situation.

Upon hearing that there might be no heir, Mr. Shen's face darkened, and Mrs. Shen burst into tears.

Shen Wei, the person involved, was completely dumbfounded. Although he was mentally prepared, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

Now, his last hope was gone, and he stared at Liu Yanran like a hungry wolf.

Even the most sycophantic person couldn't help but show a hint of masculinity at this moment.

With a sigh, Mr. Shen was more rational and dismissed the Liu family members, intending to hold a small meeting in his own home.

If this matter is not handled properly, the Shen family will be truly finished.
