Chapter 29 Bait

After discussing for a long time, they decided to let Zhao Xiaoxue be the bait. When Zheng He found the other party to explain the situation, Zheng Yu agreed very readily.

During the lunch break, Qin Xiao said with exaggerated envy, "Xiaoxue, where did you buy this watch? It's so beautiful. Why haven't I seen you wear it before?"

Zhao Xiaoxue held up the women's watch on her hand that looked like a gemstone bracelet, with a proud expression on her face. "My cousin bought this from Hong Kong. She said it was a gift for me. I never wore it before, but now that I'm married, I'm wearing it."

Although Qin Xiao was acting, the envy in his eyes was genuine. Looking at the pink rhinestone-studded dress on Zhao Xiaoxue's hand, which made her skin look fair and delicate, he couldn't help but think that he was the last one to be reborn.

Unlike Qin Xiao's envy, Lin Ran was almost jealous, with red eyes. When Zhao Xiaoxue first showed her the watch, she fell in love with it almost immediately.

She knew from a young age that her family was not as good as Zhao Xiaoxue's, and even her mother was not as good as the other party's mother. Zhao's mother never looked down on her just because she was a girl. Since childhood, she doted on Zhao Xiaoxue no less than her brother.

But her own grandmother always told her that if she got married, she must marry a family that could help them, so that she could promote her mother and brother.

So she was jealous of Zhao Xiaoxue, jealous of her innocence and romanticism, jealous of her mother's love and brother's favor, jealous of her being able to wear the most beautiful clothes and jewelry since she was a child.

Lin Ran had never seen Zhao Xiaoxue wearing this watch in her past memories. It was possible that she had worn it before, but had been hiding it from her. Now that she thought about it, she had underestimated her. "Xiaoxue, why do I remember that you have never worn it? Did some capitalist give it to you?"

Her words were sour and bitter, causing the gentle Qin Xiao to frown. "Lin Ran, do you have any evidence for what you said? I heard that if people in foreign countries just speculate about other people without any evidence, it is a crime of defamation."

"Qin Xiao, ignore her. You've never met her before." Zhao Xiaoxue was too lazy to pay attention to Lin Ran. Jiang He had said that as long as she helped him complete the task, the watch would be hers.

She disagreed at first, but Jiang He told her that one of his good friends went to Gangdong and gave him several when he came back, but because they were all women's, they were left there.

Although there has been a crackdown on speculation during this period, there are always some people who use special methods to bring back some daily necessities or products that they consider to be luxury products, and sell them to improve their lives.

Of course she knew that Jiang He would never do such a thing, because she had personally checked the other party's information before, and this person had never left the province, let alone engaged in speculation. She also joined the other party, and this was given to him by a friend.

"Wow! I've never seen a watch of this style before? Where did you buy it?" At this time, several girls from the village gathered around, looking at the watch on Zhao Xiaoxue's wrist with envy.

"Haven't you heard? He came from Hong Kong Island. I think it costs at least three or four hundred yuan." A girl analyzed.

"Hmm... I think it should be more than that, at least one hundred. Didn't you see that Liu Xiumei's skirt also cost one hundred yuan? This watch is so beautiful, it must be more than that." As soon as the first girl said this, the other girls immediately refuted.

"Yes, it must be very expensive!"

The most enviable items in the 1960s were the radio, sewing machine, bicycle, and watch, collectively known as the "three turns and one ring". At that time, no matter which one you had, you would become the most handsome guy, so it is no wonder that these girls envied Zhao Xiaoxue for having such a nice watch.
