Chapter 53 Secretly Buying a Red Scarf for My Wife
Jiang Zhizhi stepped aside to let Sun Xiaoyue in, then closed the door and locked it with a click.
Sun Xiaoyue was startled and turned to look at Jiang Zhizhi: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "It's nothing. We're sisters, I just wanted to chat with you. I saw that Mom gave you a lot of money and food coupons..."
Sun Xiaoyue instantly tensed up, clutching her pocket and looking at Jiang Zhizhi warily: "What do you want to do?"
If Jiang Zhizhi tries to take it from her, she won't be able to beat Jiang Zhizhi. The current Jiang Zhizhi is terrifyingly savage.
Jiang Zhizhi raised her hand: "Don't be afraid, we're sisters, so you can give me half of this money and tickets. Otherwise, I might go outside and start blabbing..."
He was about to open the room door when he said that.
Sun Xiaoyue was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She was so stupid; she should have stayed far away from Jiang Zhizhi.
With a dark expression, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll give it to you."
What can we do if they don't give it to us? Jiang Zhizhi is acting like she has nothing to lose and nothing to fear. If she really goes around spreading rumors, the image that Jiang Zhizhi has worked so hard to build will be completely ruined!
Gritting his teeth, he took out his money and food coupons, counted them, and gave half to Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi was still somewhat surprised to see the thick stack of ten-yuan bills. She hadn't expected Song Wanying to give Sun Xiaoyue so much money at once!
With a heavy heart, Sun Xiaoyue gave Jiang Zhizhi 150 yuan and 50 jin of grain coupons. If she had known she would meet Jiang Zhizhi, she would have hidden the money and coupons.
Jiang Zhizhi was satisfied. She took the money and food coupons and smiled at Sun Xiaoyue: "I advise you not to try to get this money back. In the end, you'll only hurt yourself. You drugged me and ruined my reputation. I haven't even settled those scores with you yet. Do you think I'll just let it go like this? That's because I've been busy lately. Wait until I'm done with my work, and I'll return it to you in full!"
Sun Xiaoyue felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't understand why Jiang Zhizhi, who was smiling, spoke in such a sinister and terrifying way!
Stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, she retorted, "Jiang Zhizhi, you dare! I have something on you too."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't care at all: "You've already spread rumors and drugged me, what does my weakness matter? Go ahead and talk about it, go find Zhou Xiye."
Sun Xiaoyue was furious. How could Jiang Zhizhi have become so...unreasonable?
It's like a tough nut to crack, afraid of nothing!
He fled Jiang Zhizhi's room as if he were escaping.
...
Jiang Zhizhi was in a good mood. She wasn't really good at playing those low-level and boring tricks like Sun Xiaoyue's. If there was a problem, she would just settle it with a fight.
However, getting some money from Sun Xiaoyue doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Sun Xiaoyue didn't dare to go out and talk about it, let alone call the police, because she was still counting on Jiang Zhizhi to keep it a secret for her!
Jiang Zhizhi planned to use the money she had earned to buy Yang Fengmei a dress and to get her two kilograms of pure wool yarn so that she wouldn't have to envy the women's director who wore pure wool sweaters.
I went out shopping when I was in a good mood.
The city isn't big, and my place is very close to the city center, only a ten-minute walk away.
There was only one department store in the city, a two-story building with a fairly complete selection of goods, but it was a state-owned store and the service was poor.
Jiang Zhizhi went around and bought a piece of woolen fabric for Yang Fengmei. When she was about to buy yarn, she passed by the scarf counter, where scarves of various colors were hanging. There were red, yellow, blue and green scarves.
Nowadays, many people wear gray or blue clothes, so fashion-conscious girls will buy some brightly colored scarves and tie them around their necks to change the dull colors of their whole outfit.
Jiang Zhizhi also likes bright colors. In her previous life, she lived to the age of twenty-seven and never had the opportunity to wear women's clothes. She was either on a mission or on her way to one every day, and sometimes she even forgot that she was a woman.
Now, the dormant bloodline has awakened, and it happily touched the colorful gauze scarf.
The counter clerk fiddled with the abacus beads, glancing sideways at Jiang Zhizhi: "Scarves are one yuan each. You can't touch the light colors, or no one will buy them if you get them dirty. But you can take off the dark colors and try them on. Red, blue, green, you can try them all."
Jiang Zhizhi was surprised; how could a scarf be so expensive?
He reached out and touched the red scarf again, suddenly thinking of the aunties dancing in the square with red scarves in their hands. He grinned, picked up his things, and left.
Zhou Xiye noticed her reluctant way of touching the scarf in front of the counter, and also noticed her departure.
Zhou Xiye accompanied Li Zhiguo to buy things, mainly because Li Zhiguo wanted to use this time to do some ideological work with Zhou Xiye.
The political background check materials and marriage application have already been approved, but the old man is holding onto them, so why not just make do for now?
He had been trying to persuade Zhou Xiye all the way, but to his surprise, this time Zhou Xiye didn't argue or say a word.
As he walked toward the women's goods counter, he said, "I'll try to find Comrade Xiao Jiang as soon as possible and have a good talk with her. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go and tell your old man that this marriage doesn't count, okay?"
Zhou Xiye glanced back at him: "No need."
Then he said to the waiter, "Comrade, please wrap up this red and yellow scarf for me."
Li Zhiguo was so surprised to see Zhou Xiye buying this thing that he forgot what he had just said. After watching Zhou Xiye pay for it and take the gauze wrapped in oil paper, Li Zhiguo blinked several times to make sure he wasn't mistaken. This was the same Zhou Xiye who was cold and taciturn: "You... why are you buying these things for women? Do you have a lover outside?"
Zhou Xiye put the scarf into the pocket of his military uniform jacket, and glanced helplessly at Li Zhiguo: "No, don't overthink it."
Li Zhiguo pointed at his pocket: "Then why did you buy all this stuff? Zhou Xiye, don't make a mistake."
Zhou Xiye ignored him: "Aren't you going to buy wine? Come on."
Li Zhiguo followed in Zhou Xiye's footsteps and suddenly thought of a more serious problem: "Just now, I said your marriage could be disregarded. Did you mean it doesn't need to be?"
Zhou Xiye remained silent and strode forward.
Li Zhiguo was completely exasperated with him, muttering, "Would it kill you to say one more word? If you keep acting like this, any girl who marries you will freeze to death."
Zhou Xiye still ignored him. His gaze fell on Jiang Zhizhi, who was carefully selecting yarn. She finally chose a dark blue one.
Seeing Zhou Xiye looking at the yarn stall from afar, and a girl with a cast on her arm choosing yarn, Li Zhiguo couldn't help but mutter to Zhou Xiye, "With your temper, no one will knit you a sweater in the future. Look at that girl, she's injured but still out picking out yarn to knit a sweater for her boyfriend."
