FSC [QT] Chapter 46.1

What do you want to do when you are back to sixteen again?

The sixteen-year-old age of ‘Qiu Wu’ life was full of teasing, ridicule, sarcasm, and violence.

From this year on, she spent three years of a hellish school life, and all of this was just because of a rumor and a premeditated bet.

These experiences were like gangrene on the bones, which could not be removed no matter how much money she had or how high her social status was.

Suddenly one day, ‘Qiu Wu’ returned to the time when she was sixteen years old, but after rebirth, she entered another person’s body and had a new identity.

‘Qiu Wu’ wanted to find her sixteen-year-old self and bravely told her.

She deserved to be loved, at least in this world, she would love her.

“This is this month’s living expenses.”

Qiu Xia counted the 2,300 yuan in salary that she received this month.

She set aside 500 yuan of it, which was this month’s rent, and the remaining 1,800 yuan was the living expenses of their mother and daughter this month.

However, she couldn’t spend all the money.

She had to save part of the money as a reserve for her daughter Qiu Wu’s future college tuition and also set aside part of the money for emergencies.

The full amount that could be used for daily expenses this month was less than 1,000 yuan.

“It’s all because I got sick last month. Not only did I spend an extra 78 yuan on medicine, I also took a day and a half off, so my salary was reduced by 150 yuan.”

Qiu Xia took stock of the money in her hands, wishing she could break every yuan in half and spend it.

Summer is coming soon. After the third year of junior high school, her daughter had been growing taller. Obviously, she was not suitable for wearing last summer’s clothes.

Moreover, the summer clothes at home had been worn for two or three years. It was originally a cheap fabric found on the street for more than ten or twenty yuan a piece.

After wearing it for so many years, the threads on the collar and cuffs had been stretched, and the clothes were already loose and had no fit at all.

Before the first year of high school started, she had to buy two new sets of clothes for her daughter. This time, she couldn’t buy such cheap ones.

The sixteen-year-old girl had reached the age where she needed to be proud, and a whole outfit would cost more than a hundred yuan.

It was still cheap, but it was the best thing Qiu Xia could give.

There were also the bras.

A sixteen-year-old girl was in the most important stage of development. Her daughter could no longer wear the old bras she discarded, so she had to buy at least two suitable sizes for her daughter to wear.

However, bras could be purchased at small stalls in the market, and the price was not expensive.

But as a result, she would have to spend at least three to four hundred yuan on summer clothes this month.

Qiu Xia regretted more and more why she got sick when the seasons changed last month.

If it weren’t for the loss of one hundred and fifty yuan salary and more than seventy yuan for medicine, the money on her hand wouldn’t be so insufficient.

It seemed that it was necessary to use the family’s savings.

Her daughter was now in her first year of high school, and there were still three years left before she went to college.

Qiu Xia couldn’t help but have a headache thinking about her meager savings.

Squeak—

The house Qiu Xia rented was a bit old, and the door shaft had not been oiled for a long time. There was always a squeaking sound when the door was opened.

When she heard this sound, she knew that her daughter was back.

“There is rice in the rice cooker, and the vegetables are placed in the cover.”

Different from the love that she had shown for her daughter just now, after Qiu Wu appeared, Qiu Xia’s expression was very dull, even a little indifferent.

“Oh.”

Ah Wu took off her canvas shoes, which were already somewhat unglued, put on her slippers, and walked toward the dining table.

The house Qiu Xia and her daughter rented was an urban village with a good location. The rent was not cheap, but not expensive.

This building was transformed by the landlord into a group rental house.

There were four tenants on each floor. Except for the top floor, which was the residence of the landlord’s family, all the other rooms in the five-floor building were rented out.

The Qiu mother and daughter rented on the fourth floor. Although climbing the stairs was tiring, for the mother and daughter, this floor was safer.

In this rental house, each household’s bathroom was independent. However, the kitchen was shared.

The other three families renting on the fourth floor were all young people who had come to Ning City to work hard. They ate breakfast and lunch outside, and most of their dinners were takeaways or packages brought back from the company canteen.

Therefore, the kitchen on the fourth floor was almost only used by Qiu Xia and her daughter. This was one of the reasons why Qiu Xia reluctantly spent 500 yuan a month to rent this small house.
