Just as Su Ruyi was feeling smug, Su Dazhi's voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Sixth Sister, I think I'll go shopping for clothes with you!"

It turned out that Su Dazhi had been thinking about this for a long time after returning to his room, and he felt that this matter was going to be exposed - Chen Weixing said that the two hundred was for Su Ruyi to buy things, and he couldn't be too greedy for this money.

Otherwise, if Ruyi were to marry into the family and the couple were to tally up their accounts, it would be utterly unreasonable.

Moreover, although Su Ruyi is quiet and reserved, she is actually quite stubborn. If you don't shower her with something nice, she might not be willing to marry him obediently.

Su Ruyi became even more suspicious after hearing Su Dazhi's words.

As the saying goes, "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either up to no good or are thieves!"

However, she already possessed divine power and was not afraid of Su Dazhi causing any trouble.

So he readily replied, "Okay. Dad, then wait for me for two minutes."

She put the stool back in its place, slung her handbag over her shoulder, re-braided her hair, and then went out.

Su Dazhi looked her over, his heart filled with indescribable mixed feelings.

Sixth Sister, she's really beautiful. No wonder that bastard Chen Weixing took a liking to her at first sight.

However, this feeling of pity for Su Ruyi was fleeting.

In Su Dazhi's mind, once the girl grew up, she was only meant to be used to exchange for dowries for his brothers.

The two went to a department store and bought two outfits.

One was dressed in light blue, the other in light pink.

Su Ruyi was even more puzzled when she saw the two colors that Su Dazhi insisted on buying.

She herself chose a dark gray striped outfit and a yellow checkered outfit, but Su Dazhi, red-faced and furious, said they were too plain and couldn't be bought.

In the end, they almost forced Su Ruyi to buy blue and pink clothes.

No matter the era, straight men's aesthetic sense is always this terrifying!

But the person who pays has the final say, so Su Ruyi put the clothes into her handbag and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Then, Su Dazhi wanted to take her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy face cream and hair ties.

As the two were leaving the department store, Su Dazhi accidentally tripped over the threshold.

Su Ruyi watched helplessly as a wad of cash fell out of his clothes!

They were all large sets of unity, totaling more than a dozen.

She glanced at Su Dazhi, who was completely unaware, and then at the passersby around her.

He sighed, picked up the money with practiced ease, and counted it—there were 18 bills.

Then... it was stored in the spatial storage.

Returning it to Su Dazhi is impossible.

Su Ruyi's heart was beating a little fast.

Is this... the kind of pace where you pick up money every day?

Seeing that she was lingering and not leaving, Su Dazhi turned around.

"How can you work in the countryside wearing clothes like that?"

To distract him, Su Ruyi asked, feigning helplessness.

"Hey... Sixth Brother, you don't necessarily have to go to the countryside!"

Su Dazhi spoke with difficulty, "You're a girl, and Dad is always a little worried about you going to the countryside."

"How can I stay? Dad, did you find me a job?"

Su Ruyi asked with a hint of sarcasm. She had a pretty good idea that Su Dazhi probably wanted to marry her off in exchange for a dowry, but she wasn't sure.

After all, the actions of Su Dazhi and his wife have been constantly lowering her standards.

“Work… Actually, a girl doesn’t necessarily have to work if she marries well.” Su Dazhi’s face turned red.

"How much?" Su Ruyi asked.

As expected, she was to be married off.

“Thirty-two, for both sets,” Su Dazhi replied. “Besides the ten yuan I gave you, I paid another twenty-two.”

"I'm asking you, how much did you sell me for?" Su Ruyi stared intently into Su Dazhi's eyes.

"Why are you saying such harsh things?" Su Dazhi grinned. "Sigh! Sixth brother, you're still young and don't understand. Dad sees further than you do..."

"Let me guess! Is it missing an arm or a leg?" Su Ruyi asked sharply, arms crossed.

"He's a high-ranking official!"

Su Dazhi gritted his teeth and finally spoke.

"How big?" Su Ruyi was a little surprised.

“Director Chen of the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Weixing!” Su Dazhi said, while waiting expectantly for his daughter’s reaction.

"Pfft!" Su Ruyi almost burst out laughing—Chen Weixing, isn't he Chen Yuanyuan's father?

What a coincidence!

She immediately decided to get rid of Su Dazhi and go find Chen Yuanyuan.

Let's get right to it.

She immediately feigned a wronged, confused, and incredulous expression, stared blankly at Su Dazhi for a few seconds, covered her mouth as if about to cry, and then turned and ran away.

Su Dazhi chased after him for a few steps, then stopped, panting heavily.

It's not that I didn't want to chase her, it's just that this girl ran too fast!

We simply can't catch up!

Su Ruyi ran directly to a dead-end alley where no one was around, and then flashed into her spatial dimension to change into the new light blue clothes.

This light blue outfit, though a bit frivolous, is made of good material and is the latest style.

—Her old clothes, patched upon patched, would probably be kicked out by those arrogant guys in the family compound if they saw them, let alone let her go in to look for someone.

She went straight to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative's residential compound.

I looked up at the sun; it was past four in the afternoon.

The job she sold to Chen Yuanyuan is starting on the 1st of next month, and she doesn't know if Chen Yuanyuan is home right now.

Thinking this, the red mole on his palm suddenly became hot again.

She looked up and saw Chen Yuanyuan and the girl named Xiaoli walking towards her, chatting and laughing.

"Yuanyuan!" she called out.

When Chen Yuanyuan saw her, she immediately smiled with delight: "Ruyi!"
