Chapter 1,434 Emergency(2/2)

Think about it again..."

These were the last words left by the Zhao family to Mi Xiaoran.

Since coming to the United States, Mi Xiaoran has heard that the people here are impersonal.

At first she thought she was talking about the whites and blacks here, or the non-Chinese people of color, but she finally learned the lesson!

Even if they are descendants of China, if they come to a place like this and are surrounded by the smell of money every day, they have already become cold-blooded animals.

The United States has everything, the moon here is round, the air here is sweet, but it has no conscience and no feelings.

Here, there is no need to be ashamed if one eats another.

Even if it's a former relative, even if it's a friend who grew up together.

As long as it's against Jing'er, if necessary, he can fall out with him as soon as possible, or even raise a gun to kill the opponent wantonly.

Suddenly realizing this with pain, Mi Xiaoran couldn't help but feel that the light of the lighthouse of the free world was much less powerful.

In this poor place, without Zhao Hanyu, the two of them would starve to death without anyone taking care of them.

But having said that, resentment is still resentment, but realistically, the predicament will not be changed because of these bad emotions.

Although the Zhao family was shameless and excessive, some of the things they said still made sense, and Mi Xiaoran had to seriously consider some of their words for the future of her and her children.

Yes, there are too many unemployed people in the United States now. It is not that easy for Mi Xiaoran to find a job.

Even though she already had a decent degree, but she had no relatives here, so it was tantamount to wishful thinking to find a well-paid, relaxed and comfortable white-collar job based on just this degree.

Even Zhao Hanyu, who graduated from a prestigious university, was fired by the company, so how can she do it?

The most likely possibility is to work in a restaurant or store and rely on physical labor to make ends meet.

At her current age, she is still competitive in this industry, not to mention she has sufficient experience. She has done some work in the Zhao family, but don't expect too much in terms of salary.

It would be good to have a monthly salary of 1,500 and have the boss buy medical insurance on his behalf.

But the question is how can this money be enough to support her and her children?

She doesn't have any requirements for living, as long as she has a place to sleep and is in a safer community.

But I don't dare to eat too much for her, because the baby still needs to drink breast milk.

If she cannot ensure nutritious and healthy food, the quality of her milk will not be guaranteed, and she will have to feed her child milk powder, which costs 20 dollars a bucket.

Various fruit pastes, vegetable pastes, and meat and vegetable pastes cost about one dollar per small bottle.

There is also money to be spent on "exporting". 124 pieces of diapers cost US$25, and a box of 72 wet wipes costs US$2.

There are also children's toys, toiletries, etc., which cost dozens of dollars per month.

These daily expenses and basic living expenses are barely enough.

But the most expensive thing is the labor to take care of the children. Hiring a nanny to take care of a child costs US$1,500 a month. Day care is cheaper, but the minimum is US$700 or US$800.

And this creates a paradox. If she wants to take care of her children, she can't go to work, and if she has to go to work, she can't take care of her children.

What's more, her income from work is about the same as what others charge to take care of her children, so her work is meaningless.

This situation may only be resolved when the child is five years old.

Because only children who are five years old can enter kindergarten and enjoy all the free benefits in this area in the United States.

Therefore, economic problems have indeed become the most difficult problem that needs to be solved in Mi Xiaoran's life.

If this problem cannot be solved, even if the Zhao family does not compete with her for the child, mother and son will not be able to live a normal life.

What should we do?

Forced by the situation, Mi Xiaoran did not cry or shed a single tear.

Without a husband she could rely on, and being persecuted by the Zhao family, her heart was filled with hatred and grievance, but also mixed with a kind of determination.

Determine to face reality, bravely overcome all obstacles, and fight on.

She wants to be a person, a real person, and a strong mother.

As the saying goes, women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong.

For this child, Mi Xiaoran, who used to jump in the queue in Shanxi, drive donkeys and horses and dare to compete with men, came back again.

All the squeamishness and vanity faded away, but the stubbornness of a girl from the capital still remained in his bones. The Mi Xiaoran who believed in the great leader's teachings of "fighting with others is endless fun, fighting with heaven is endless fun" is back.

Not to mention, in this situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, Mi Xiaoran still had to come up with a workaround.

She could definitely send her child back to her hometown in the capital, why not?

Not only do you have your own father, mother, and sisters there, but you also have those old neighbors in Courtyard No. 2.

No one would treat their children badly.

If we knew that this child had become an orphan, everyone would take better care of him and never let him suffer any injustice.

My hometown is poor, but has kindness.

Mi Xiaoran is absolutely certain of this.

In addition, the cost of childcare is really low.

Don't say that you can work in the United States and send money home. Even if you don't have money, you can support such a little one with your family's income.

In this case, although she can be separated from her child for the time being, she will not be separated for a long time. As long as she establishes a foothold in the United States as soon as possible, she can take the child back with her parents when the child is four years old.

And the most important thing is that since then, the Zhao family has nothing to do with her even if they file a lawsuit. Her children are no longer in the United States. What can the Zhao family do with her?

Yes, run away. As long as she returns to the capital with her child, all problems will be solved.

But the problem is... I need to buy a plane ticket when I go back. How should I pay for the plane ticket?

That's right, in the end the problem is back to the starting point, it's hard to move forward without money.

In fact, Mi Xiaoran didn't even have a thousand dollars on hand.

You know, after getting the two thousand dollars from selling the house, she had already spent a lot because she had to change her residence and buy some things for her children.

The air ticket from New York to Beijing costs at least a thousand or several hundred dollars.

Having no money was the key factor that made the Zhao family think they could manipulate her.

Thinking of this, Mi Xiaoran, a clever woman who had no money to make a living, became worried again. She had no other choice but to open her things and select jewelry that could be pawned.

Zhao Hanyu bought some for her before his death, but it was hard to say how much money he could get back if he took these things to a pawn shop.

She felt distressed and helpless. Now that things had come to this, she couldn't keep the things she originally wanted to remember.

However, sometimes the twist comes by coincidence. When Mi Xiaoran found the jewelry box and took out all the jewelry, she suddenly became excited.

Because she suddenly discovered that in the bottom layer of the jewelry box, there were more than a dozen green hundred-dollar bills.

Mi Xiaoran covered her mouth in surprise. She couldn't believe her eyes, let alone her luck.

How could she forget that she still had the money that Ning Weimin entrusted Zhang Shihui to give to her - fifteen hundred US dollars!

She once despised it, and even thought she would never need it in her lifetime, and wanted to return the money to Ning Weimin.

At the beginning, Ning Weimin had said that he wanted her to respond quickly, but to his surprise, this guy got it right again.
Chapter completed!
