Chapter 124 Why is it different from what he thought?

"Thank you, Aunt Wu," Jiang Ning said to the team leader's wife.

Without this head of the intelligence department, she would have had to spend some time figuring out Zhou Anze's purpose.

Now there's no need to guess anymore; Zhou Anze's intentions are crystal clear.

Shen Qianqian couldn't help but grab Jiang Ning's arm. "Second sister-in-law, so Zhou Anze heard us talking about being able to return to the capital, which is why he came to ask me for forgiveness? He wants to rely on me to leave Dahe Village?"

Jiang Ning blinked, looking at Shen Qianqian with some surprise.

Ever since my "love-obsessed" mind was cured, my brain has started to get smarter.

Love makes people blind, and Jiang Ning discovered that the Shen family seemed to have a serious case of love-induced mental illness.

Fortunately, the woman Shen Mo met was a good person. At the time, Shen Mo gave her all his money, but she insisted on getting a divorce. Given Shen Mo's personality, he probably wouldn't ask her for the money back.

The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Shen were able to raise three children who are so serious about relationships is a testament to their excellent example as elders.

Jiang Ning took on the responsibility of being a sister-in-law and said to Shen Qianqian, "A man spending money on you doesn't prove whether he loves you or not, but a man who spends your money definitely doesn't love you."

Shen Qianqian immediately assured him, "Second sister-in-law, I will absolutely never pay any attention to Zhou Anze again."

"No, no, no." Jiang Ning held up a finger and shook it. "You have to pay attention to him. At least you have to get the money back and then kick him to the curb to feel better. The face cream and Pechoin products you've given away over the years were bought with your second brother's allowance earned through risking his life."

Shen Qianqian now feels disgusted just looking at Zhou Anze's face, and has no desire to get her money back.

But upon hearing Jiang Ning's next sentence—

"Second sister-in-law, you're right. That's all my second brother's hard-earned money. We can't just let it go!"

Shen Qianqian originally loathed Zhou Anze and didn't want to see him at all, but when she heard that it was her second brother's money, she insisted on getting it back.

Zhou Anze is now harboring evil intentions. He could come up with such a vicious scheme before in order to get a quota for returning to the city to recruit workers. Now, in order to get close to Shen Qianqian and achieve his goal of leaving Dahe Village, he will do his best to satisfy Shen Qianqian's requests.

Jiang Ning told Shen Qianqian not to worry, "Just wait, Zhou Anze will bring the money to your door."

Shen Qianqian watched as Jiang Ning's eyes gradually turned into stars of admiration. Before the brigade leader's wife arrived, she hadn't even realized she needed to ask Zhou Anze for the money, but Jiang Ning immediately realized and got the money back.

Shen Qianqian affectionately linked arms with Jiang Ning, "Second sister-in-law, it's truly a blessing for second brother to have married you."

"Your second brother is also very good." Jiang Ning praised Shen Mo without any reservation.

She had always thought she was indifferent to men, but Shen Mo was just too adorable. Just thinking about her reaction when they first met made her laugh out loud.

"Mom and Dad are worrying unnecessarily. They've always been concerned that you and your second brother won't get along."

Shen Qianqian envied both Jiang Ning and her second brother.

The reason why people envy the relationship between the second brother and his wife is because they are both good people.

The next day, Zhou Anze brought the money to their door.

As soon as Zhou Anze saw Shen Qianqian, he said, "Qianqian, I've calculated that the amount of snow cream and Pechoin cream you've given me over the past two years is about one hundred yuan. I only have fifty yuan left here. I'll have to give you the rest in a while."

With a heavy heart, Zhou Anze handed over five ten-yuan bills, his mind racing with calculations.

He had already decided to give her fifty yuan first, win Shen Qianqian over, and once she forgave him and they started dating again, the money would eventually be his.

Shen Qianqian is naive; if he spends a little more time coaxing her, she will listen to everything he says.

But Jiang Ning is a woman who is not easy to fool.

When he first saw Jiang Ning, her stunningly beautiful face even made him somewhat tempted, but now he has completely given up on those thoughts.

A woman who is too smart is not someone he can control.

He's still easier to fool than that stupid woman Shen Qianqian. All he wants now is to leave this godforsaken place, Dahe Village!

He happened to overhear Jiang Ning and Shen Qianqian's conversation that day, and he never expected that the family of the "stinking intellectuals" who had been sent down for reform would actually be able to leave.

At that time, he made up his mind to make Shen Qianqian devoted to him and preferably get married as soon as possible, so that when the Shen family left Dahe Village, he could leave with them in a legitimate way.

Shen Qianqian looked at the money Zhou Anze handed her. Although it was only fifty yuan, it was better than nothing.

As she reached out, a hand suddenly appeared from the side and grabbed her. Jiang Ning stopped Shen Qianqian, then looked at Zhou Anze and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten what I said? It's all the money, not just a portion."

"Ask for forgiveness without showing any sincerity? Do you think fifty dollars can make up for it?"

Jiang Ning's nonchalant tone froze Zhou Anze's smile on his face.

He clenched his back teeth tightly.

As long as Jiang Ning is around, it will be difficult for him to deceive Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian echoed Jiang Ning's words, "My second sister-in-law is right. You took so much of my face cream and Pechoin, and you won't pay it back all at once. It's even more impossible for you to make me forgive you."

Zhou Anze tried hard to control his emotions; he couldn't let Jiang Ning and Shen Qianqian know that he wanted to leave Dahe Village with them.

He has to endure it!

Zhou Anze left.

Two days later, Zhou Anze stopped Shen Qianqian when she went to the field alone.

Shen Qianqian immediately recalled Jiang Ning's words—

“I won’t stay with you all the time. He will definitely try his best to spend time alone with you. You need to decide this yourself.”

Shen Qianqian also knew that she was blind to like Zhou Anze so much back then, mainly because Zhou Anze had saved her when she was in despair.

That bit of gratitude was completely exhausted when she heard Zhou Anze say that he would give her to the person in charge of the machinery factory as a favor.

Zhou Anze gave Shen Qianqian his gentlest and kindest smile and said, "Qianqian, here is one hundred yuan."

Shen Qianqian eagerly took the money and counted it; there was indeed one hundred yuan.

Seeing Shen Qianqian smiling as she counted the money, Zhou Anze quickly put on a wronged expression and said, "Qianqian, I've given you all the money. Can you forgive me? What happened on the mountain that day was truly a mistake."

Shen Qianqian was happily counting her money, but when she heard Zhou Anze's pitiful words, she instantly felt nauseous.

She suddenly smiled; now she could completely say goodbye to the past.

“Zhou Anze, we’re even now,” Shen Qianqian said. “You know perfectly well what you’ve done. Forgive you? Keep dreaming.”

When Zhou Anze heard the first sentence, a smile gradually crept onto his face, but the second sentence made him wonder if he had misheard.

Shouldn't that stupid woman, Shen Qianqian, immediately throw herself into his arms after hearing his sincere words?

Why is it different from what he expected?
