Chapter 266 My Dad Suddenly Has No Tomorrow

After returning home, Wang Xiulan felt so heartbroken looking at the large and small packages of things on the table that she couldn't breathe. She had thought of secretly going over to return the things, but her son seemed to be on guard against her and she couldn't find the invoice after searching for a long time.

After thinking carefully about the focus of the investigation my son mentioned, I felt my head becoming more and more dizzy, so I went back to my room and lay down.

I had originally wanted to wait for the fourth girl to come back from school and secretly hold a small meeting so that she could give me some advice, but now I have completely forgotten about it.

Zhang Xingwang was also exhausted. He went back to his room and lay down. He had spent a lot of money today. It was more than a hundred dollars in total. But looking at the pile of banknotes in the space, it felt like he had only scraped a hole in the wall...

Zhang Xingwang cooked dinner again. There was nothing he could do as he was too tired and hungry today and couldn't wait for his fourth sister to come back before cooking.

Wang Xiulan, who could have taken over, was also baptized by his own words and lay down to recover her brain capacity...

Zhang Xingwang, who was regretting his decision, had just finished cooking the dishes with a dark face when the fourth sister and the eldest sister came in one after another. The fourth sister sniffed towards the kitchen, and with a big smile on her face, she flattered Zhang Xingwang, but her smile was not so sincere when she saw the little girl's new skirt.

Just when he changed his expression from one about to cry to one that looked like it was about to burst into tears, he suddenly saw his elder sister gesturing at the clothes on the table, and immediately his face became smiling again, as if he was possessed by a typical acting spirit.

Wang Xiulan felt much better after dinner. After thinking about it, she felt something was wrong. She quietly ran to the kitchen and secretly told her fourth sister who was washing dishes what happened today and asked her what she thought.

The fourth sister racked her clever brain for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Promotion has always been a mysterious thing. Even the teacher himself doesn't understand it, let alone teach her. But he still said firmly:

"Mom, what my brother said about moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor has some truth to it, but buying clothes has nothing to do with this. I guess he is lying to you. If you dress too well, others will think that my brother is a hedonist."

"Then he must have lied to me about his promotion, too?"

The fourth sister's eyes were almost turning into windmills. She thought of her brother's fantastic and outrageous job-hunting experience, and recalled her brother's ridiculous work style. Combined with his work attitude of working for three days and drying the net for two days, and going home at the slightest disagreement...

He resolutely said to Wang Xiulan, who had just put her mind at ease:

"The promotion is probably true. Although I find it absurd, my brother has never been normal, so you should pay more attention to him..."

Wang Xiulan's heart was lifted again as she looked at her fourth daughter with resentment. She felt that the girl was talking more and more like her brother, so she asked quickly:

"Then what should I do? My character is fine, but will I wear the new clothes? Your brother also said that he will take me to the department store every half a month. Should I go or not?

You don’t know how scary it is to spend money there. There is nothing cheap. I shudder when I think of your brother paying for things…”

"Then take me with you, I haven't been there yet..."

"Don't go there. Study hard at home. Your brother told you to review quickly because the exam will be in a few months..."

"Mom, how can you say such cruel words? I gave you advice in vain."

"You'll be right if you listen to your brother..."

The next day, Zhang Xingwang waited for Brother Tong to finish providing relief, then went to three supply and marketing cooperatives and purchased a large amount of supplies.

Anyway, those who have money and tickets bought all the ones they thought they could use and planned to send them back to the village to help the old man improve his living conditions. The ones that were replaced can be shared by the old man with his aunt.

Now that I have made some space, I bought a set of bowls, chopsticks, washbasins, towels, soap and so on, thinking that during the holidays, when my grandfather has a large family, they will all need something to wash and eat.

Don’t be like last Chinese New Year, when everyone even brought towels from home, not to mention bowls and plates, the only thing missing was two people sharing one.

As for snacks and the like, he did not leave out any of them. After all, they would not go bad if they were kept in the space.

During the purchase, he even ran into the auntie who had a strange look in her eyes and liked to ask questions. Seeing that the auntie was about to get internal injuries, Zhang Xingwang, who was afraid of causing death, still asked:

"Aunt, just say what you want to say. I see you're feeling very uncomfortable. Sometimes you feel fine when you hold your breath, but you're actually just holding it together. If you let it out..."

The saleswoman's eyes widened in anger, but she couldn't hold it back and said earnestly:

"I just want to ask you, you buy so many things over and over again, including the bicycle you bought before, you are really wasting money.

You are so young, don't do bad things. And what kind of family do you have? Doesn't your father care about you spending so much money? Doesn't he care about you?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang felt that he might have been a little too high-profile in front of this aunt, and that he had probably become a familiar face here.

But if you want to ask my father what he thinks, I really don't know. After all, there are no fortune tellers these days, so it's really difficult to ask for his opinion.

Dad has also asked grandma to warn him specifically, so I don't think he would have any idea about it. Besides, it would be decades before he can control me.

As for taking the wrong road, this is a big deal. I have to have a good talk with this aunt. He lit a cigarette calmly, put on a melancholy look, and slowly said to the aunt:

"Aunt, you don't know, my mother and my eldest sister are workers, my second sister is the same as you, but she works in a department store, and I work in the street office.

I am mainly sick and my brain is not working well. The doctor said that I may not survive tomorrow. I am the only boy in the family, so my family gave me all the money and told me to spend it as much as I want. I think you can understand what I mean..."

After hearing this, the aunt looked at Zhang Xing, who was as strong as a bull. The word "disbelief" was almost written on her face. She pouted and asked:

"Didn't the doctor say what if this doesn't end?"

"The doctor said that this is a possibility, but think about it, in my case, if it happens today, it's fine, I can just keep spending money, but if it doesn't happen tomorrow, I'll lose a lot, and I won't be able to spend money in the future.

That would be so miserable, so I have to spend money quickly, spend the money from tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, don’t you think this makes sense…”

"You understand the doctor's words very well..."

"But I still can't understand why your father would let you waste money like this..."

"My dad suddenly has no tomorrow..."

"Okay, you better leave now. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist reporting you. I feel so upset when I see you..."

"Aunt, you are a little tired of playing..."
