Chapter 8: I can really hear other people's voices

"Brother, it was your mother and that woman who brought it up."

After saying that, Ye Ying walked to her bed and made it by herself, preparing to wash the dirty bedding.

The next moment, a new quilt was placed in front of her.

"I'll give you the quilt."

Ye Ying paused and put the quilt back on Ji Lianqi's camp bed.

"Take this quilt to the guesthouse and give it to your mother and your Aunt Chen. I can help you with it."

She heard from Ye Ning that the guesthouse didn't even have a thin blanket except for the bed!

Although it is summer now, we are still used to pulling a quilt to cover our stomach, hands and feet at night to prevent the wind from getting into our stomach and catching a cold.

She was angry, but she didn't want to be gossiped about because of this little thing again!

Ji Lianqi looked at Ye Ying in surprise, disbelief written between his brows.

At this moment, a low but vague voice came into Ye Ying's mind.

[My mother scolded her so harshly in front of so many people during the day, and she was willing to give up her newly bought quilt? ]

Ye Ying was now certain that she could really hear other people's thoughts.

Quickly concealing the surprise in his eyes, Ji Lianqi simply put the quilt back on Ye Ying's bed.

"It's hot, they can't use it."

Ye Ying threw the quilt back onto the cot like a hot potato:

"No, give it to your mother right away! Otherwise, I might get scolded again tomorrow."

Although Ji Lianqi seldom came into contact with women, he could still see that Ye Ying's action was meant to vent her anger.

"Are you mad at my mom for giving me a new quilt?"

Ye Ying answered decisively, "No."

His dark eyes stared at Ye Ying for a long time.

"In that case, you can go buy a new one tomorrow and leave the money in the same place. I'll give this quilt to them first."

After saying that, he picked up the quilt, opened the door and went out.

After taking a shower, Ye Ying lay on the bed in a daze.

She had another quarrel with someone not long ago.

In the old tube-shaped buildings, toilets and bathrooms were shared.

She was very resistant at first, but gradually got used to it after a few days.

But just when she went to take a shower, she ran into Zhou Lingling, a military wife who had a feud with the original owner.

Someone mentioned this person today when I was fighting with Ji Lianqi's mother. I didn't expect to run into him when I went to take a shower in the evening.

Zhou Lingling's husband Wang Fei is good-looking. Before she took action against Ji Lianqi, the original owner had secretly hooked up with him, but failed.

From then on, Ye Ying's reputation became bad in the compound.

The military wives all began to be more strict with their men, not because they were worried that their men would fall in love with the ugly and fat Ye Ying, but because they were worried that their men would be touched by her.

On the day of the incident, Zhou Lingling wrote a big-character poster about Ye Ying's deeds and posted it on the bulletin board, and the feud between the two of them began.

Unfortunately, Ye Ying ran into her today and could not avoid being ridiculed by her again.

All these things happened one after another, and Ye Ying was almost in seclusion.

Could it be that her merits and virtues have been laughed off in modern times? She was forced to take the cold shoulder and be stabbed for the original owner.

The more Ye Ying thought about it, the more depressed she became. She missed the 21st century terribly.

It was already very late when Ji Lianqi came back. The moment he closed the door, Ye Ying's sleepiness was driven away.

"Here you go."

An unwrapped old popsicle was suddenly handed to me.

This man actually bought himself a popsicle?

Seeing that Ye Ying didn't move, Ji Lianqi moved the popsicle closer: "Hurry up and take it, it's melting."

The original owner had diarrhea for several days and nights because he ate a popsicle of unknown origin and was not clean. From then on, he never ate popsicles again.

So, should she eat it?

Ye Ying hesitated for a while, but still took the popsicle and glanced at Ji Lianqi: "Where did you get it?"

"I bought it in the hospital."

Ye Ying took a bite and a thought quickly flashed through her mind.

"How much is this one?"

Ji Lianqi thought she was just making small talk and ignored her. She was such a grown-up, there was no way she had never eaten popsicles before.

"Tell me quickly, how are popsicles sold outside?" Ye Ying asked sincerely.

As a pure post-95s, she really doesn't understand the prices of goods in this era.

"Three cents."

"Fuck, it's only three cents, and it's so cheap? What about other flavors?"

"Five cents, eight cents, one or two cents."

After Ye Ying knew the price of the popsicle, she had a rough idea in her mind.

She plans to take some time to go out and wander around, get to know the market situation, prepare to do something big, and strive to become a millionaire as soon as possible.

It is now 1986, and self-employed people are everywhere on the streets, and everyone can be a boss.

When she went to the mall to buy a quilt today, she found that almost no one here used tickets anymore, and cash had gradually become the mainstream.

Coming from the 21st century, she knows the importance of cash very well!

She believed that with her identity as a "future person" and her knowledge and information gap, she should be able to gain a foothold here.

At night, Ye Ying dreamed of her scumbag ex-boyfriend.

The scumbag was her college classmate. After graduation, she went to work and then relied on her own abilities to work her way up to the position of department manager.

The scumbag has been delaying his job search for five years since graduation, using the excuse that he needs to take the civil service exam.

Almost all the expenses in the past five years fell on her.

In other words, she not only has to make money in a first-tier city to support herself, but also to support her scumbag ex-boyfriend.

Later, the scumbag finally got ashore in the fifth year.

This was supposed to be a happy event, but just when she was still happy for him, he unexpectedly broke up with her and then disappeared.

He felt that she was no longer worthy of him.

In recent years, there has been a saying circulating on the Internet: The first thing you do when you get ashore is to kill the person you love.

I didn't expect it to happen to me.

In the end, she was abandoned and found it hard to accept that all the love and efforts she had put in over the years were gone just like that. She hid away and cried for days and nights.

Until she cried so much that her heart ached, she went on a trip to relax, but...she unexpectedly got into a car accident.

"Ye Ying, wake up."

Just when Ye Ying was still immersed in sadness for a long time, she was awakened by a hand that slapped her hard.

She opened her eyes and saw Ji Lianqi with a frown on his face.

"Why are you crying?"

Only then did Ye Ying realize that her face was covered with tears and her pillow was soaked.

She quickly wiped away her tears and sniffed her blocked nose: "No, nothing, I guess I had a nightmare."

Ji Lianqi was skeptical and looked at her a few more times before he went back to his cot, lay down and turned off the lights.

"I'm glad you're alright. Go back to sleep! It's still early."

Because of the uproar, Ye Ying didn't know what time she fell asleep again.

When she was half asleep, she was woken up by someone splashing water on her.

"Tiger girl, it's already so late and you're still sleeping! Hurry up and get up!"
