Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 619 - 88: I Can Really Make Sauce

Aunt Niu and Niu Hong, mother and daughter, rode their bicycles along the winding mountain road. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Amidst the constant bumps, Aunt Niu suddenly asked, "Hong, I’ve just carefully calculated, for the past ten-plus years you’ve been in the countryside, besides various coupons and items, we’ve only sent you cash for less than seven years. How did you manage to save up eight or nine hundred now?"

It’s not that living in the countryside doesn’t cost money, it depends on the kind of life you’ve lived!

Local farmers have private plots, quietly grow some things, raise a couple of chickens, and some places are not overly strict.

Moreover, no matter what, with seven or eight strong workers in the household, they can somehow earn some money.

But it’s different for the educated youth sent to the countryside, the place to live is assigned by the team, there are no private plots, and besides earning work points every day, they have to fight fiercely for a few teaching positions in their spare moments.

As for other income, there’s virtually none at all!

In such a situation, many educated youth are able to live well only through support from their families.

But why is her daughter still able to save so much money?

Over these years, she truly must have been frugal.

After all, before getting married, when she came back with Chen Jian Country, the couple had already figured it out, Chen Jian Country only shouted slogans every day, didn’t even fully earn his work points, let alone save up any money...

At that time, Aunt Niu thought, they were living in the countryside without in-laws, a man like this wouldn’t be able to bully Da Hong, they actually felt more at ease.

Otherwise, whether in the city or countryside, wives being beaten by husbands was common.

But thinking about it now, Aunt Niu felt a pang in her heart.

...

Speaking of the Niu Family, they seemed inconspicuous, although the family’s red-brick house only had one main building, the Niu Family was inherently refined, with more than what meets the eye!

Good things, of course, need to be hidden.

In reality—

Old Man Niu was a leader at the Beijing Glass Factory before retiring.

He was an honest person, with quite a few connections, Aunt Niu was also a worker at the factory before.

But at that time, the movement was in full swing, the factory almost had to stop production. His family had a son and a daughter, both meeting the criteria for going to the countryside, one had to go.

The family originally planned that, with only one suitable child, Aunt Niu would retire for her son to take over, avoiding the countryside.

Uncle Niu would work a few more years, and when Niu Hong came of age, she could take over, and the daughter could also earn a salary.

But unexpectedly, there was a report against the family, causing no major harm, but their reputation was already tarnished.

Uncle Niu made a swift decision and immediately retired, passing his position to the just-graduated 18-year-old son.

But with the position given to the son, the educated youth office still came knocking.

They said they received a report, and the daughter was of the right age too.

—Niu Hong was only 15 then!

Aunt Niu, without saying a word, also retired and directly transferred her job to her daughter, but who knew someone at the factory would obstruct, and the procedure got stuck.

It didn’t take more than a few days, and the educated youth office had already visited several times.

It was still Niu Hong who made a quick decision:

"Mom, I am strong and work well, I’ll go to the countryside."

"Your position, just retire from it, sell it, I’ll take the money to the countryside and live just as well."

Retiring is easy, but getting back on might be hard. So they could only sell it.

"If I had known earlier, Mom wouldn’t have needed to retire..."

With this, the girl had money in hand, went to the countryside voluntarily, and managed the situation, things could still be considered.

As a result, when Niu Hong went to the countryside, she already had a large sum of 400 yuan.

Over the years the family sent money, even her brother and his wife didn’t say a word, somewhat feeling a bit guilty at heart.

After all, wasn’t it usually the older son who went to the countryside?

If it wasn’t for some confidence, she wouldn’t have been noticed so quickly by Chen Jian Country.

Her family did send money every month, but after getting married, Niu Hong wrote saying she had settled down and didn’t need her parents to support her anymore...

Aunt Niu also thought her daughter should have found her footing by now, so she stopped sending money.

But now, calculating again and again, the money sent, plus what she initially took along, Niu Hong hardly spent anything in the countryside!

If you don’t spend money, how can you expect to live comfortably?

...

Thinking of this, Aunt Niu couldn’t help but feel a wave of sorrow.

"If I had known you wouldn’t be able to come back all these years, and it delayed your entire life, Mom wouldn’t have let you go... "

These were words of frustration.

With a nationwide call, who has the ability to escape?

Moreover, Niu Hong was in good physical condition, doing tasks like transplanting rice seedlings, harvesting rice, and digging canals, she earned quite a few work points, otherwise how could she support the whole family.
