Thinking about Zhou Gou's enviable savings, Jiang Ci looked down at the watch again and felt it was normal.
The watch is indeed very expensive, and this one is a Swiss-made Titoni watch, costing nearly two hundred yuan.
But it depends on who comes up with the two hundred yuan. If it were Jiang Ci, she would never use half of her family's savings to buy such an expensive watch. And for Zhou Gou, two hundred yuan is certainly easier to come up with than for Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci turned it over and over, looking at it from all angles, and realized that it was actually a women's watch.
He thought that it was originally meant to be given to Wang Zhaodi, but now that he and Wang Zhaodi were sworn enemies, how could he possibly give the watch to her?
But this watch was originally a gift for my wife, so it wouldn't be appropriate to give it to her as a gift.
Jiang Ci didn't wear it; she simply put the watch in her pocket and would see if she could find someone to exchange it for another one.
For Jiang Ci, the default ownership of anything given to her is that it belongs to her. If this watch is not suitable for her to wear, she can exchange it with someone else, right?
However, I should also tell Zhou Gou about this, so as not to cause him any misunderstanding.
Jiang Ci made up her mind and quickly finished her work. She went to the cowshed to deliver the food. Liu San had been praising Cheng Yehan a lot lately, so he wouldn't let her deliver the lunchboxes anymore. He would take them and deliver them to her himself.
Jiang Ci saw how diligent he was and didn't say anything, happy to be able to go back early.
It's already September, and Dazhu and Erzhu will be starting school soon. Jiang Ci is thinking of going to town to talk to Tao Susu and see if she'd be willing to arrange a leave of absence for her son.
Jiang Ci decided to take the children to town for a meal instead of cooking.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao were definitely nodding their little heads nonstop, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Jiang Ci then placed the two small chairs in their places and took the two children to town.
On the way, Jiang Ci deliberately asked Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, "Is the food at the state-run restaurant better or is your dad's cooking better?"
Without hesitation, Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao replied, "State-run restaurant!"
Jiang Ci: "Is my cooking better or the food from the state-run restaurant?"
Zhou Yang's mouth moved faster than his brain: "Of course the state-run restaurants are better! Mom's cooking isn't as good as Dad's!"
If Jiang Ci didn't have to ride a bicycle, he would have given that brat a good whack.
Zhou Miao was quite concerned about her mother's feelings, saying, "Mom's cooking is only slightly worse than that of state-run restaurants, just a tiny bit."
She felt a little guilty about what she said, her eyes darting around and her fingers constantly fidgeting.
Jiang Ci then asked rather 'devilishly,' "Do you prefer your mother's cooking or the food from state-run restaurants?
Zhou Miao was dumbfounded.
This kind of question is too profound for a three-year-old who doesn't even have a kindergarten diploma; they simply don't know how to answer it!
Zhou Miao stammered and couldn't say anything, her fair and delicate face turning red.
Seeing her flustered and helpless look, Jiang Ci couldn't help but laugh out loud.
They made their way to the town, and since it was getting late, they went to a state-run restaurant for lunch.
They arrived too late; the meat, vegetables, and steamed buns were all gone. Jiang Ci ordered a large bowl of noodles and a small bowl of noodles. She ate the large bowl, while Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao shared the small bowl.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao ate like little pigs, grunting and munching nonstop.
Even though we didn't get to eat meat, the white noodles were delicious!
Jiang Ci ate her fill but didn't ride her bicycle. Instead, she took her two children's hands and went to the town hospital.
She runs around here quite often, so she's very familiar with it.
They met Zhao Cuihua at the hospital.
Zhao Cuihua, along with her father and mother, surrounded a skinny child, wiping away tears as they went for a check-up, constantly exchanging pleasantries with him.
Not far away, a man who had secretly followed them was watching this scene with eyes wide with rage.
As if she were the director behind the scenes, Jiang Ci watched quietly as the man silently followed Zhao Cuihua's family, her expression unchanged, before taking the child to find Tao Susu.
The Zhao family acted quickly. Only two days had passed since they met Wang Zhaodi and Sun Yaozu, and the Zhao family and Deputy Director Chen had already formulated a plan and found people to begin its implementation.
It's not even 2 o'clock yet. Tao Susu is resting and watching her son, Chen Ting, do his summer homework.
As soon as Jiang Ci arrived with her child, Tao Susu saw her and stood up in surprise, "Why are you here at this time?"
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Are you free now?"
Yes, yes!
Tao Susu immediately looked outside and then closed the door.
Tao Susu said to her son, "Tingting, why don't you let your two younger siblings eat candy over there, okay?"
"Okay." Shen Ting closed the homework and came to the two little ones.
"Call me brother."
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao blinked their eyes and simultaneously called out in their childish voices, "Hello, brother."
What a dark-skinned child.
Shen Ting thought to himself, then led them behind the desk to eat White Rabbit milk candy.
Jiang Ci pulled Tao Susu aside and spoke to her in a low voice.
"After hearing what Principal Shen said, his only concern was whether your son would be bullied at school. School is starting soon, isn't it?"
Tao Susu looked worried. "Yes."
She has been worrying about this for a while.
Jiang Ci said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I asked Principal Shen how Shen Ting's studies are going, and he said your son's grades are very good. Sister Susu, what do you think about arranging a two-month leave of absence for him?"
"It's only two months, it won't affect his studies, and it will also keep him away from Principal Shen's influence."
Tao Susu's medical skills were superb, and compared to life, her husband's bad class background seemed insignificant.
But if their son went to school, he would definitely be ostracized and bullied. Tao Susu had heard from her husband about the treatment that children with "bad class backgrounds" received at school.
Tao Susu was slightly taken aback, "Only two months? Why..."
Tao Susu suddenly realized something and paused for a long while, "Is it that Mr. Cheng...?"
Jiang Ci neither said yes nor no, but simply winked at her.
Tao Susu remembered the Beijing-plated jeep she had seen after leaving the guesthouse and understood.
She gripped Jiang Ci's hand tightly. "Okay, I understand what to do!"
She wants to arrange for her son to take a leave of absence from school.
"I came here today for this very thing, just remember that."
"Thank you!" Tao Susu was extremely grateful to Jiang Ci. "You've helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you enough!"
Jiang Ci's lips curled up slightly, and a sudden inspiration struck her. She said to Tao Susu, "Um, could your hospital make a call to the city hospital?"
Tao Susu: "Sure, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"
Jiang Ci waved her hand, "No, no, it's my husband who's at the city hospital right now, and I wanted to ask how he is."
Seeing her troubled expression, Tao Susu considerately refrained from pressing the matter and simply nodded, "Alright, you can come out with me for a bit."
