Shen Jinran traveled back in time to the 1970s in a single day.
What? Life is hard during the famine?
Not afraid, not afraid.
She has a golden finger of her own, equipped with cou...
Chapter 66 Beating Up the Male and Female Protagonists
After leaving the black market, Jinran found an alley and wandered aimlessly, turning east and west, until she was sure no one was following her. Only then did she dare to enter the spatial dimension.
I'll change out of my gear and put it aside; I'll need it again tonight.
After Jinran left the space, she was a little confused. How the hell did she get here? She's really smart.
It took a tremendous amount of effort to get out.
Jinran sighed. Every time she thought she was a queen, reality told her that she was just a complete idiot.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jinran ran to the scrap metal recycling station. Luckily, the old man hadn't closed yet. Jinran, panting, said, "Grandpa, I'm here to buy those cabinets. And the kang table and stuff too. I've already picked them out."
The old man looked at Jinran in astonishment and asked uncertainly, "You want all of this?"
Jinran nodded and asked, "Grandpa, do you deliver goods? I have some vegetables at home that I can exchange, or you can tell me the price."
Jinran spoke until the very end, her voice only audible to the old man, who was a sensible man.
He nodded and said, "My eldest son is home, so my son and I can deliver it, but not today. Give me your address and a deposit, and I'll deliver it to you tomorrow since I'm off work. But I don't want the money. If you have any grain or meat, that would be even better. If not, vegetables will do too."
"I have wild rabbits and pheasants at home, how about I give you one?"
The old man smiled, revealing his gap-toothed grin, and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he was fine with any kind of meat and wasn't picky.
Since Jinran had given the address to the old man, he was afraid she would forget it, so he wrote it down on a piece of paper. In the end, she gave him a two-yuan deposit and then left.
That's really cheap! The old man only asked for twenty yuan for ten pieces of furniture.
That's true. Money still lasted a long time back then. A worker's monthly salary was only a dozen yuan, which was enough to support several people in his family. A woman who was careful with her money would even have some left over.
It was getting late, so Jinran hurried home. When she arrived, she told Grandma Chen as usual. But only her eldest sister, Da Nan, was home.
"I understand, Nini. I'll tell Grandma in a bit that you should go home. You've had a long day outside and need to get some rest."
Jinran nodded and headed home. But fate had other plans; just as she was getting home, she ran into Shen Yanhong and Meng Fan.
Jinran is so unlucky!
When Shen Yanhong saw Jinran, she seemed a little timid. Jinran didn't understand. What was wrong with Shen Yanhong? Did someone back her up?
Meng Fan said coldly and seriously, "I'm getting engaged to Yan Hong. From now on, I'll be your brother-in-law. You'd better show me some respect."
Jinran: "??? Quack?"
Jinran turned her gaze to Shen Yanhong, hoping to get a perfect explanation, but Shen Yanhong just looked down at the ground.
Then, Jinran said in a sinister tone, "Shen Yanhong, did you not take my warning to heart?"
Shen Yanhong's face turned pale, and she grabbed Meng Fan, trying to leave.
Meng Fan didn't leave; he still had something to say, "I'm practically your elder, so I'm saying a few more words for your own good. Yan Hong is such a good girl; don't always bully her. She's already been as tolerant of you as possible..."
Jinran thought, "............" "What kind of monkey is this?!"
Her patience had completely run out. She was tired and didn't want to talk anymore. She looked around and saw no one. She figured she might as well fight instead of making a fuss!
Jinran delivered a flying kick, knocking Meng Fan to the ground. Then Shen Yanhong also kicked her. Didn't they say they were getting engaged? Then the whole family should be together.
Jinran discreetly avoided hitting her face, instead targeting her body.
He muttered to himself, "You two should just get ready to die in place of good people. You're just useless scum in life. How about I arrange a ghost marriage for you two now? That way, you'll die in a good place."
Shen Yanhong was trembling with fear, and Meng Fan was beaten so badly that he couldn't speak.
Jinran pinched Shen Yanhong's face and said softly, "You need to teach your partner a lesson. You dare to lecture me? Do you even deserve it? What did I say last time? There are many ways to make someone disappear, aren't there? Why don't you give it a try?"
Shen Yanhong was shocked and quickly begged for forgiveness, "I was wrong, I will definitely keep Meng Fan in check, we will never come looking for you again, I was wrong, please don't arrange a ghost marriage for us, I really know I was wrong, I shouldn't have provoked you."
Jinran raised an eyebrow. Shen Yanhong was actually afraid of her casual remark?
Ghost marriage? She wouldn't have that kind of high-value technique!
That's too kind of you.
