Chapter 28 Setting up a stall at the kindergarten gate

After passing through rows of crowded and massive high-rise buildings, Jiang Li arrived at the Chen family's house in Block 13.

After Chen Jiqi opened the door and saw who it was, he exclaimed excitedly:

"Tangtang! Tangtang, you're finally back! I called you but you didn't answer. What happened? Why did you want a divorce?"

Jiang Li found this laughable. "Chen Jiqi, don't you think your question is ridiculous? Don't you know why Jiang Tang wants a divorce? Since you're already divorced, stop pretending to be innocent, okay?"

Chen Jiqi's expression changed slightly, looking very aggrieved. "I already said it was a misunderstanding."

"Tangtang, why don't you believe me?"

"Nobody would believe you!"

Jiang Li walked past him and went straight into Jiang Tang's room.

A quick glance revealed that Jiang Tang's room was small, only about 5 square meters. It contained a tiny single bed and was filled with various items, mostly for her stall.

Opening one of the cardboard boxes, Jiang Li took out a yarn doll and glanced at it. It was very cute and somewhat delicate. Could this be the reason why Jiang Tang could earn three thousand points a month? Jiang Li felt it couldn't be that bad. She knew how hard it was to earn money in this world.

"Jiang Yan, come and help us move some things." Jiang Li handed a stack of boxes to Jiang Yan.

Chen Jiqi, watching from the side, scratched his head in frustration. "Tangtang, are you moving out? Can you please think about it carefully? Where will you live if you move? You know how expensive houses are outside, why make things so difficult for yourself?"

Jiang Yan glared at him. "You don't need to worry about where my sister lives. We've already rented a place for her, at least bigger than your tiny room."

"It's all because Tangtang insisted on sleeping separately from me," Chen Jiqi frowned. "My room is huge, a full ten square meters!"

Chen Jiqi's statement that ten square meters is a large amount is not an exaggeration at all. Land on the site is extremely scarce, and currently the vast majority of residential buildings are around 50 square meters in size.

A 50-square-meter apartment needs to be divided into two or three bedrooms, and also needs a bathroom and a small balcony. The space allocated to each room is often limited...

Such a 50-square-meter apartment costs 200 million points, which means only very wealthy people can afford it.

Jiang Li couldn't help but think of some things.

"Chen Jiqi, I remember when my sister was with you, you said you would work hard and earn points to give her a better life and buy her a bigger house. But look at you now, have you kept your promise? Three years have passed, and your position at the clinic hasn't changed at all. You're still just an assistant physician. You were like this when you got married three years ago, and you're still the same now!"

"Oh, no, you're different now. Your heart has changed."

Chen Jiqi was speechless for a moment, "I—"

For some reason, he then said:

"Although I'm just an assistant physician, it's not bad. It's better than those who do manual labor."

Jiang Li turned her head, gave him a deep look, and then suddenly smiled.

"Chen Jiqi, you really have changed."

"Three years ago, you were more than content with being a physician assistant; now you seem to think being a physician assistant is pretty good too."

An assistant physician earns 4000 points a month, which is better than that of a manual laborer, but... it's far from enough to buy a big house and give Jiang Tang a better life.

Chen Jiqi: "Xiao Li, one shouldn't have too big an appetite. I think my current house is big and good enough, it's not like it's not big enough."

Well, a 50-square-meter apartment is enough for her now. So who was it that said they wanted to buy Jiang Tang a 100-square-meter luxury house in the first place?

"Since you think it's good, then just live comfortably in your big house."

Jiang Li left with a sarcastic remark, carrying the cardboard box.

Chen Jiqi watched Jiang Tang's resolute departure, feeling somewhat resentful. "Jiang Tang! The outside world isn't as good as you think. What can you do with those few hundred points you earn a month? You can't even afford rent. Do you want to sleep on the streets?"

"I have the house my dad left me, which at least gives you a place to live, and that's already much better than what others have."

"You'll definitely regret leaving me."

Jiang Li frowned, raised her foot, and kicked the door shut with a "bang".

As they entered the elevator, she turned to Jiang Tang and asked, "Chen Jiqi, do you know how much you earn a month running your stall?"

Jiang Tang shook her head. "I didn't tell him the truth."

Therefore, Chen Jiqi always thought that Jiang Tang earned several hundred points a month.

Jiang Li finally understood.

To find out how many points his wife earns from setting up a stall, he only needs to go out and set up a stall with her once.

Therefore, Chen Jiqi has never accompanied Jiang Tang to set up a stall even once in all these years.

Jiang Tang: "In the past, whenever he had time off, I would ask him to come with me to help out, but he refused. He thought it was shameful to set up a stall and told me not to go out and set up a stall anymore, saying that it would make him lose face as a clinic doctor."

Jiang Li laughed, "What kind of influence does a mere assistant physician have? Anyone who didn't know better would think he's a department head!"

He's not very capable, but he carries a lot of burdens.

After moving her things back to her newly rented place, Jiang Tang sorted out some of the finished dolls, about thirty in total, and put them all into a transparent storage box. Then, carrying the storage box and a piece of cloth, she hailed an electric tricycle.

After getting on the electric tricycle, it meandered around the base until it reached a spot where the view suddenly opened up.

Because we've arrived at Zone 1, the affluent area.

The base area is roughly divided into 7 zones, each with a different focus. Some zones emphasize industrial development, some pharmaceutical development, and some military and defense industries...

Zone 1 is where high-ranking officers of the base gather. The people there hold important positions in various departments of the base, so the base directly allocates housing to them. All the allocated housing is concentrated in this area. In addition, the supply building is also located in Zone 1.

Jiang Tang arrived at the roadside opposite the kindergarten in Zone 1, spread out a cloth, and started setting up her stall.

I glanced at the time; it was almost time for the kids to get out of school.

As soon as the kindergarten gate opened, it became lively as a large group of children rushed out.

Jiang Li finally understood that Jiang Tang's target customers were children from wealthy families!

Jiang Li looked left and right, and found that Jiang Tang was the only one setting up a stall on the entire street, which puzzled her.

"Is it allowed to set up stalls here?"

This area seems to be strictly managed; the main road is so clean there isn't a single piece of trash. If I set up a stall here, won't I get kicked out by the market supervision department?

Jiang Tang said gently, "I always come here to set up my stall, and no one has ever told me to leave."

Indeed, no one came to kick Jiang Tang out.

Jiang Li saw several people in black uniforms walking over, holding guns and looking extremely serious. They only glanced at Jiang Tang without saying anything. Two of them even walked over and looked at the stall.

How much are the black coal briquettes?

The black coal lumps are the same black coal lumps in the boiler room of "Spirited Away," about the size of a palm.

"50 points each."

Jiang Li's pupils dilated in shock, "50 points each?"

Sister! You really dare to sell it?

You're selling a tiny coal ball for 50 points each?

Who would buy it?

"Give me one."

"I'll have one too."

Jiang Li was shocked once again.

No, it's so expensive, are you two really going to buy it?

Two coal briquettes, 100 points earned.

The cost of this coal ball is the same as the price of a small ball of black yarn.

The two tall security patrol officers paid their points, took the black coal briquettes, one for each of them, and casually hung them on their waists before continuing their patrol.

The black bulges around their waists swayed with their bodies, yet they didn't look out of place at all.
