However, what was being resold were overseas Chinese notes, which did not seem to be as serious as food.

Pei Manning shook her head and said, "I don't have any money."

The man was a little disappointed. He looked around and saw that no one else came forward, so he picked up his bag and left.

Pei Manning pulled the scarf around her face and went to the thrift store to look for some knickknacks.

A rosewood dressing box was sold because the lid was a bit damaged, the patterns on the surface were scratched and it was covered with dirt.

Pei Manning also had a similar makeup box before. This kind of box has a small compartment at the bottom, which can only be opened by removing the partitions around it. It is a good place to hide things.

In addition, there is an ivory heart ball. The gaps are full of dust and dirt, and it looks like a toy thrown away by a child. There are seven layers inside and outside, and each layer is hollowed out. The surface of the ball is carved with exquisite and complex patterns, landscapes and figures, which are intertwined and overlapped. If a hairpin is turned, each layer will rotate, day and night, which is extremely exquisite.

Pei Manning had only seen carvings with 10 layers in the Zhou Dynasty. This was the first time he had seen one with 7 layers. He liked it very much and did not mind its dirtiness. He planned to buy it back, wash it, and play with it.

She had just returned home and filled a basin with water when Sister Li brought over all the benches she had borrowed at noon.

"Sister Manning, look, these benches are from your home, right?" Sister Li put the benches in the yard, panting.

At this time, tables and benches were often borrowed by neighbors, and their names would be written on the bottom.

Pei Manning took a look and realized that she was right. "Yes, Sister Li."

Sister Li didn't leave in a hurry. She looked around the yard and said in surprise, "Hey, you managed to grow all these plums?"

There was a plum tree in Mrs. Xu's yard. Seeing that Pei Manning liked it, she gave her a few branches and taught her how to plant it in the garden.

Pei Manning added some water to the soil, and now several branches of plum blossoms have survived and even bloomed.

The whole yard was tidied up and made beautiful, which is very different from before.

Sister-in-law Li took Pei Manning's hand and said affectionately, "Look at you, you are so handsome and can do anything. You are such a good girl, sister-in-law wants to find a partner for you."

Pei Manning calmly withdrew her hand and said shyly, "I'll listen to my family about this matter."

It's not good to let people not listen, right? That's because someone came to slap you!

"…You have to listen to your family, but if you come across a good one, you can take a look first, and then discuss it with your family. Tell me what kind of person you want to find, and your sister-in-law will help you find one first. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Pei Manning saw that this matter was not going to get over. If she didn't agree today, she would probably come to persuade her often in the future.

She said, "Okay."

"..." He agreed so readily. All the persuasion that Sister Li had prepared was gone, but she actually felt a little disappointed. Why?

However, the result is still good.

"It's right that you think this way. Although parents are the ones who make the final decision on marriage, you also have to make your own decisions, right? After all, you will be the one to live your life in the future. Tell me, what kind of person do you want to find?" asked Mrs. Li.

Pei Manning lowered her head and twirled her fingers shyly: "I wish he was taller and prettier."

When Sister Li heard this, she thought, young girls just love to be coquettish!

"Sister-in-law has been through it all, too. Good looks can't make a living. You still have to find someone with better conditions." She turned the topic to family conditions.

When Pei Manning heard this, she said with a look of recognition: "Sister-in-law, you are right. The salary should be higher, at least, at least ten percent."

"What? Ten!!!" Sister Li's legs almost fell to the ground.

Oh my goodness! A mid-level or senior technician only makes 10,000 yuan a month, right? Even if you are a leading cadre, your administrative level is already 22nd level.

Pei's sister, you are so bold! How bold and productive can one be?

Pei Manning nodded as if it was a matter of course, but her expression was very gentle and well-behaved, and her voice was also gentle: "Sister Li, you know that I am usually quite good at spending money."

Sister Li laughed dryly: "That's right."

Pei Manning said softly, "In addition, your salary will be given to me for safekeeping, and your passbook will also be given to me. You will listen to me in all matters big and small at home. You have a good character, a good temper, and you are good to me. You can cook, wash clothes, do housework, and you are diligent and love cleanliness..."

Seeing Pei Manning's rosy little mouth twitching, Sister Li couldn't laugh anymore.

There are all these good things. Why don't you go there?

"Girl, is this request..." a bit too high?

Before she finished, Pei Manning said, "She can't be too old, no more than 20, Sister Li, these are all I can think of for now. For the rest, wait for me to think about it for a while and then I'll tell you."

"..." Still want to?

Sister Li finally left in a daze. She was so shocked by Pei Manning that she forgot what her cousin's wife had taught her. If it weren't for Pei Manning having a "brother" who drove a jeep, she would have been a little jealous and couldn't help cursing.

Is this a marriage or an enmity?

She didn't doubt that what Pei Manning said was false, because Pei Manning looked like someone who could charm men to the point of obedience and make them do whatever they wanted.

After sending the person out, Pei Manning breathed a sigh of relief. She estimated that not only would Sister Li not mention this matter again, but the wives in the neighborhood would also not mention this matter in the future, right?
