CHAPTER 22: CHAPTER 22: THE MISSING PORTION FOR JIANG XIN

Anyway, she can’t get along with the Fu Family Member, and now she can’t rent a house, one of the most important reasons is her identity problem.

Being an outsider, plus being married, makes renting a house extraordinarily difficult.

But that doesn’t mean it’s absolutely impossible.

The difficulty of renting is all in Jiang Xin’s imagination.

After all, she hasn’t really tried, maybe if she really goes and tries, it might not be as hard as she imagines, it’s possible.

Jiang Xin originally thought renting was hard, actually because she was afraid the Fu Family Member would disagree, and the villagers gossiping would affect her reputation.

But after yesterday, Jiang Xin thought, since she was already planning to divorce Fu Yu, why should she care so much?

Being overly cautious has never been Jiang Xin’s style.

Now she and Mrs. Fu can’t stand each other, under the same roof, disgust each other mutually.

Over time, seeing each other with distaste, they might even get breast nodules out of anger.

Moreover, once she decided to set up a stall, she would need to visit the market almost daily, and going there frequently, Mrs. Fu would inevitably start suspecting what she’s up to.

And, from what Mrs. Fu said yesterday, it’s clear that she doesn’t want her to go out.

Although Mrs. Fu can’t control her.

But under the same roof, the limitations are countless.

Also, even though Jiang Xin just came, and on the surface, she’s part of the family with Mrs. Fu and the others.

But to Jiang Xin, it’s still very unfamiliar.

Rather than constant daily conflicts, it’d be better for her to move out and enjoy peace.

Just thinking about it makes Jiang Xin feel at ease, once she moves out, she could wake up naturally every day.

No more tumultuous mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts.

Only the "trouble" of counting money until the hands cramped.

Imagining such a carefree solitary life is simply exhilarating.

As for the gossiping village tongues?

Once she’s divorced from Fu Yu, and no longer living in the village.

They can talk all they want behind her back, because she won’t hear it anyway.

So why bother worrying so much?

She can totally, while checking the warehouse today, also pay attention to see if there’s any suitable vacant houses for rent near the market.

Preferably, with a better surrounding environment, Jiang Xin is picky, if the surroundings are bad, it would greatly affect her mood.

If she finds a house she likes, she can totally try to rent it.

She can afford it if the rent is paid annually, and she’s not bothered by the price.

If it’s an individual landlord, as long as she pays enough, there’s a chance.

If the landlord minds her being an outsider, she could try using Lin Ye’s identity to rent.

In short, it’s worth a try, what if she succeeds?

Just one small step away from escaping the bitter sea.

Thinking this through, Jiang Xin, after sorting her thoughts, immediately sat up from the bed, ready to get up.

These days, every household’s windows are papered, so outsiders can’t see what’s inside the rooms.

Through the window paper, Jiang Xin could vaguely make out Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu doing chores outside.

Mrs. Fu was holding a basin, muttering "cluck cluck cluck" like she was feeding chickens.

Jiang Xin rubbed her forehead, got up, folded the quilt, changed into new clothes, and after washing up in her space, went out of the room.

This morning, unlike before, Jiang Xin didn’t randomly grab some food from her space to make do as breakfast.

After all, in her last life during the apocalypse, when there was no clean food outside, she relied on supplies in her space for sustenance every day, and she was long tired of it.

No matter how precious the food, it didn’t compare to a bowl of steaming hot tofu pudding.

Of course, Jiang Xin didn’t expect Mrs. Fu to save her any breakfast.

So, she planned to head to the market earlier today, to find food there.

When Jiang Xin went there yesterday, even though it was afternoon, there were still vendors selling food from small carts, with a variety of options.

Therefore, Jiang Xin figured there must be someone selling breakfast at the market.

After all, the stall vendors also need to eat breakfast.

They all get up early to secure good spots before the day starts.

So they’re probably too rushed to eat breakfast.

Isn’t that a business opportunity?

Once Jiang Xin was really ready to leave the Fu Family, it was already close to seven thirty.

Jiang Xin calculated the time, if she walked to town, it would take about half an hour.

So by the time she reached the market, it would be around eight.

After grabbing breakfast and wandering around, it should be just right to meet Lin Ye at nine, hand the goods to him, and then she could go look at houses nearby.

She left the room and pushed open the main room door, stepping into the yard.

As soon as they heard the sound of the door opening, both Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu, who were working in the yard, looked straight towards the doorway.

Jiang Xin touched her nose, feeling a bit annoyed, sensing that Mrs. Fu would cause trouble again...

Mr. Fu over there clearly thought the same thing as Jiang Xin. Upon seeing her, his first reaction was to look at Mrs. Fu.

Mr. Fu suddenly got nervous, fearing that his wife would continue to pick on Jiang Xin.

So, before Mrs. Fu could say anything, Mr. Fu proactively spoke to Jiang Xin:

"Awake? Hungry?"

"In the pot..."

Halfway through, Mr. Fu paused abruptly.

He initially wanted to tell Jiang Xin there was breakfast in the pot.

But after saying it, he suddenly realized that during breakfast today, they didn’t save Jiang Xin’s portion at all.

Yet he had already spoken.

There was no taking it back now.

This...

Mr. Fu was frustrated, he turned around and glanced at Mrs. Fu, only to be met with a fierce glare from her.

Jiang Xin could tell what was going on from their expressions.

But she pretended not to notice; she didn’t care anyway.

Mrs. Fu couldn’t care less whether Jiang Xin was hungry!

Seeing Jiang Xin all dressed and ready to go, Mrs. Fu knew she was planning to leave.

Mrs. Fu immediately got vigilant, raising her voice to ask:

"It’s so early, just opened your eyes, and you’re going out?"

Her voice was sharp, and her tone was quite unpleasant.

Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at her and frankly said:

"I’m going out for something, I’ll be back in the afternoon."

After saying this, Jiang Xin didn’t hesitate and turned to walk towards the gate.
