Chapter 337 Asked someone to buy something

Then the Shen family also bought a watch for Gu Shuhe.

Chen Ying said, "Let's buy this watch now!"

"There are so many brands and styles here, it's hard to choose back home."

"If you want to buy bicycles and sewing machines, go to the county town, otherwise it will be inconvenient to bring them back."

Since everyone had shown them to him, Gu Shuhe naturally chose.

She wasn't very interested in these, but she still had a little aesthetic sense, so she picked an expensive one.

It’s not very expensive. A quartz ladies’ watch costs 258, which is actually cheap in this brand.

but……

Chen Ying went to pull Shen Tingci’s pocket, “Where’s the money you brought?”

She came with a bag of money, but it was not enough now.

But she knew that Shen Tingci had money on him!

Seeing this, Shen Tingci took out two hundred from his coat lining pocket and gave it to her.

Only then could Chen Ying pay the money.

After buying the watch, Chen Ying said, "Let's go eat early, and then go home early after eating."

"Everyone is tired from running these past two days."

That is true.

No one said anything at first, but Shen Tingci said, “You guys go to the hotel and wait for me, I have something to go out for.”

Chen Ying frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I asked someone to buy something, I'm going to pick it up!"

"What?"

"ring!"

Without giving Chen Ying a chance to continue speaking, Shen Tingci patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you pay.”

He just left after he said that.

Chen Ying, who was left behind, “…”

No. He ruined her reputation like this?

Did she say I can’t buy it anymore?

She just asked a few more questions, that's all.

But the result...

Left alone to face the Gu family, Chen Ying felt guilty for no reason. She raised her hand and pointed randomly, "...this kid, didn't you tell me in advance?"

"If I had told him I would have brought more money. How could I let him pay for it?"

Chen Ying said this because she hoped that Gu Yanli and the others would understand that she was not a stingy mother-in-law who would deliberately make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

As for why she had to prove this, maybe... Chen Ying was also afraid of being beaten.

Nowadays, there is no reason for a daughter-in-law's family to beat her husband's family.

So she started to explain.

But Gu Yanli has a different view, "Young people still have to rely on themselves when they get married and live their lives."

Gu Yanli's words were telling Chen Ying that if Shen Tingci wanted to buy this ring, he had to pay for it himself, and it was not right to rely on his family.

Wei Hongtao also smiled and tried to smooth things over, "That's right, in the end, it still depends on the young couple themselves to make a living."

"Come on, let's go sit down first."

"Does my brother-in-law want to eat anything?"

Wen Tang smiled and said, "I don't mind. I'm not picky about food."

"Okay, I'll take care of the dishes later. I guarantee that everyone will be satisfied," Wei Hongtao said with a smile as he led everyone forward.

No one knew where Shen Tingci had gone to get the ring, but when the dishes were almost served, he came back.

As soon as he approached the table, Wei Hongtao quickly said, "I'm quite greedy, so I moved my chopsticks first. Minister Shen, please don't despise me."

Shen Tingci shook his head and motioned for him to sit down, "Nothing!"

After he sat down, he asked, "Is there enough food?"

"I'll go add two more dishes."

Of course, Wei Hongtao couldn't have said this.

Gu Yanli raised his eyebrows and said, "That's enough, no need to waste any more!"

Wei Hongtao then said, "That's right, there aren't many of us either."

"Eat it quickly, while it's hot, while it's hot."

Shen Tingci didn't say anything else.

No one outside asked him about the gold ring because there were many gossipers outside.

Everyone ate in silence.

After the meal, Shen Tingci still paid the bill.

Wei Hongtao said he would buy it himself, and Shen Tingci only said, "How can you let the matchmaker pay for a meal?"

Wei Hongtao was a little embarrassed, "I've eaten you for several meals in a row..."

Shen Tingci gave the money to the waiter, and then said with a smile, "Director Wei ran around with me, not only did he not complain about being tired, but I also didn't drink a few glasses with Director Wei. I can't just ignore Director Wei and have a full meal!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongtao raised his hand and tapped his shoulder. "Look at what you said. You are out here, not at home. You will have plenty of opportunities to drink this wine in the future."

Shen Tingci just continued to smile and said, “Okay, I feel relieved with what Director Wei said. When things are settled, I will definitely have a few drinks with Director Wei.”

"OK!"

After paying the money, they found a car, got in and started heading home.

Maybe he was full, or maybe it was time for a nap. After Wen Tang got in the car, he fell asleep in the swaying of the car not long after.

Gu Yanli saw that she had fallen asleep, so he said to Gu Shuhe who was drowsy beside her, "Shuhe, cover your sister-in-law with the blanket."

Gu Shuhe opened his eyes, glanced at Wen Tang beside him, and quickly pulled the blanket over Wen Tang.

The blanket was a bit big, so after Wen Tang covered it, he saw Gu Shuhe lying down again, so Gu Yanli said, "Cover yourself a little too, don't run back and get sick from the cold again."

Gu Shuhe also obediently covered himself with the edge of the blanket.

Because we left early in the afternoon, it was not yet four o'clock when we arrived at the county town.

When they arrived at the county town, Wen Tang and Gu Shuhe were still sleeping in the car.

Gu Yanli got out of the car by himself to greet Shen Tingci and the others.

When asked by Wei Hongtao about Wen Tang, Gu Yanli told the truth, "I fell asleep on the way and am still asleep."

Wei Hongtao immediately said, "Running back and forth like this must have exhausted my sister-in-law."

"Okay, let's stop talking here. Hurry up and take your sister-in-law back so that we can have a good rest!"

Chen Ying rarely opened her mouth and asked, "Will you stay for dinner tonight?"

Gu Yanli waved his hand, "No, I'll go back first."

As he said this, he turned around and got into the car.

As soon as he got in the car, Wen Tang and Gu Shuhe woke up, rubbing their eyes.

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Gu Yanli sat down and said, "Don't move, or I'll keep you for dinner."

Wen Tang reacted quickly, his head fell back and he fell asleep again.

Gu Shuhe wanted to ask why, but soon Shen Tingci appeared outside the cab.

Gu Shuhe also leaned back and closed his eyes.

Gu Yanli lowered the car window, Shen Tingci bent down, glanced at the back seat of the car, and said to Gu Yanli, "Slow down on the road!"

Gu Yanli nodded and said, "Go back!"

Shen Tingci nodded and stood up straight.

But before he stood up straight, he glanced at the back seat of the car again. Gu Shuhe, who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, had his long eyelashes trembling constantly. Shen Tingci couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

After the car started moving and went some distance away, Gu Yanli said to the two of them, "That's enough, stop pretending."

Wen Tang opened his eyes immediately, then stood up and looked out the car window. "What time is it?"

The sunset outside is red.

"Around four o'clock," said Gu Yanli.

"At this point, the sun starts to turn red!"

"But it's true, it's winter now," Wen Tang answered himself.

After she finished speaking, she began to stretch her arms and legs. "Ouch, my waist is not good. I don't want to ride in the car these past few days. I feel like I'm falling apart."
