Three days remain until the Virus Outbreak.
The supermarket across from the Community is well-stocked and currently the only one nearby.
To buy enough supplies, I need a substantial amount of money.
But I’m just a white-collar worker with a modest salary.
I only have fifty thousand yuan in my bank account.
Jiang Zhijun asks me for money every month to buy cigarettes, play games, and support his parents.
Almost all of my salary has been drained by him.
If I were to divorce him now, I would still have to divide our assets.
I fear that I might not even get to keep the fifty thousand.
Asking my parents for money… No, I can’t!
I cannot let them bear any more risks for me.
In my previous life, after the Virus Outbreak, my parents committed suicide by poison to avoid dragging me down.
Before they left, they wrote me a letter urging me to live well.
I looked at the letter and cried my heart out...
In this lifetime, I must protect them!
With that thought, I immediately picked up my phone and dialed my mother’s number: "Mom..."
After getting Jiang Zhijun's phone, I quickly helped him log into several lending apps.
Previously, to help Jiang Zhijun pay off his debts, I had borrowed a considerable amount from online loans.
Those loan apps were all verified with photos of me and Jiang Zhijun together.
Now, I could log in smoothly as well.
To save time, I used my phone's location services to find nearby shops that offered to buy gold, diamonds, and designer bags.
Then, I dressed up like a wealthy middle-aged woman, wearing sunglasses and a mask, and sold several hundred thousand worth of items at each store.
Finally, I logged into various loan apps and borrowed over two million.
By the time I finished all this, night had already fallen.
Next, I began checking the supplies at home.
Aside from the food already in the kitchen, I packed up everything else that could be stockpiled.
I didn't even spare the toilet paper.
After all, I had experienced the hardships of lacking food and clothing in my previous life.
I am well aware that after the Virus Outbreak, aside from food and water, there are many essential supplies we need to Stockpile.
For instance, medications, batteries, matches, candles, blankets, clothes and shoes, protective gear, helmets, gloves, and electric batons.
While Jiang Zhijun was busy fooling around in Yao Jin's room next door, I called a ride-hailing driver to move everything out.
When neighbors inquired, I casually mentioned that I was going back to my family home to prepare New Year gifts for relatives.
At the same time, I subtly reminded them that things outside weren't safe lately and suggested they stock up on food at home and avoid going out unnecessarily.
A few neighbors with whom I usually had a good relationship seemed to ponder my words.
After sending off the driver, I texted Jiang Zhijun: "My dad is sick; I need to go back for a while."
It took him a long time to reply: "How much do you need?"
In my previous life, every time I went home to see my Parents, Jiang Zhijun would always ask me for money to give to his parents.
I gave it to him every time.
Later on, when he divorced me, he even had the audacity to accuse me of being unfilial.
"I only give money to my parents, not to him."
I must have been blind to fall for such a man!
I replied, "Dad's illness is serious; it might cost a lot."
Jiang Zhijun immediately exploded, "You damn woman, are you going to cry poor again?"
"Let me tell you, I don't have a single cent!"
"And who will cook and do laundry for me if you leave?"
I let out a cold laugh and sent a voice message: "The doctor said my dad might only live until the end of the year."
"Our family's old house is rumored to be demolished soon."
"Are you happy now?"
As soon as I sent the message, Jiang Zhijun called me: "Wanwan, I was just too worried about you and spoke without thinking."
"Dad's health is critical; you should come back now. Be careful on the road."
After that, he transferred several thousand yuan to me: "Buy some nutritional supplements for Dad."
