"Xiaoxi, what do you think would happen if I went after Yan Zheng?" Jiang Yue asked excitedly.
"Huh?" Wen Xi was completely shocked. She never expected that Jiang Yue would want to pursue Yan Zheng. Yan Zheng was so serious. How could Jiang Yue, such a delicate girl, dare to have such thoughts?
How can someone as serious as Yan Zheng live with you?
"I don't know," Wen Xi said. However, if Jiang Yue could really get together with Yan Zheng, that would be good, because Yan Zheng could protect Jiang Yue. Although Jiang Yue had severed ties with her family, they would not abandon her when she needed them.
This is a common problem among parents who favor sons over daughters; they insist on having their daughters help raise their sons. However, with a strong man protecting Jiang Yue, the Jiang family members dare not cause trouble.
"Xiaoyue, if you really like Yan Zheng, you can try pursuing him. If you can't, then so be it. But don't do anything despicable that will ruin your reputation and future and make others look down on you," Wenxi reminded her.
Pursuing men is fine, but you can't lose yourself or become a bad woman in other people's eyes.
Jiang Yue nodded. "I know. If he can't win me over, he definitely won't keep pursuing me. There are so many good men in the world, it's not like he's the only one."
She had wanted to pursue Qin Mi, but Qin Mi wouldn't give her any chance and wouldn't let her into the compound, so she gave up, didn't she? Because she knew that if she did something lowly, she would be seen as a lowly person by others.
She just wanted to find a good husband so that she could have a better future. Was she wrong?
Who doesn't want to marry a good husband?
The three of them waited at the police station for a while, and soon someone brought over the train tickets. Yan Zheng handed the tickets to Wen Xi and said, "Be careful when you take the train. Keep your valuables close to your body. It's the end of the year now and there are a lot of people, so don't trust strangers. I'll ask the people on the train to keep an eye on your seats. Call me when you get home to let me know you're safe."
Wen Xi took the train ticket, smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Brother Yan. I wish you a Happy New Year in advance."
She then gave the ticket money to Yan Zheng, but when he refused, Wen Xi stuffed the money into his pocket, called Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, and ran straight out.
Asking him to help buy tickets is not the same as asking him to pay for them; besides, this amount of money is nothing to Wenxi.
When Yan Zheng got home from get off work, his mother was surprised to see him carrying a bunch of things. "Yan Zheng, what are you carrying?" she asked.
"Xiaoxi gave it to me, saying it was for Lili." Yan Zheng handed the burlap sack to his mother, who took it. "You saw Xiaoxi? Why didn't you let her come over for dinner?"
“She has other things to do and doesn’t have time to come,” Yan Zheng said.
Yan's mother took out the items: a chicken, a duck, a fish, some vegetables, a bag of dried persimmons, and a bag of dried fruit. She guessed that these two items were for Lili.
"Xiaoxi is so generous to us, always bringing us so many things. I wish Xiaoxi were my daughter-in-law, she would definitely take good care of Lili." Mother Yan said while tidying up.
Most daughters-in-law are thinking about how to send things back to their parents' home, so how could they be as generous as Wenxi?
With these things, she felt she didn't need to prepare anything for the New Year.
Yan Zheng frowned. "Xiaoxi already has a boyfriend. Don't say things like that in the future, lest it damage Xiaoxi's reputation."
Actually, it was also his fault. He was too career-oriented and always put Wenxi's affairs on hold. He didn't pursue Wenxi in time, which led to Wenxi ending up with someone else.
Mother Yan patted Yan Zheng on the shoulder, "You can't just stop dating just because Xiaoxi has a boyfriend, can you? You're already in your mid-twenties, are you going to wait until they break up? Do you think you can wait until they break up? I don't think Xiaoxi is the kind of person who's fickle."
"Mom, you want me to date, but I need to find the right person first, right? Don't worry, I'll date when I meet the right person, so don't rush me, okay? What if I just randomly pick someone and ruin the Yan family? With my brother's status and my status, many people want to put a partner in my life, but are these people really good? Don't they have any ulterior motives? You dare to have a daughter-in-law like that, but I wouldn't dare to have a partner like that!" Yan Zheng said, frowning.
He and Wenxi had never spent time together, so naturally they didn't have such a deep relationship. The reason he wasn't dating wasn't because he couldn't forget Wenxi, but because he hadn't met the right person.
When Yan's mother saw that he wasn't waiting for Wenxi, she was relieved, because waiting for Wenxi didn't necessarily mean she would see her again.
"It's all your colleague's fault. If he hadn't caused trouble, Xiaoxi wouldn't have started dating that person." Mother Yan shook her head helplessly. It really is a matter of fate; perhaps this is what they call being destined to meet but not to be together.
"Mom, let's not bring up the past anymore," Yan Zheng said.
The matter is over, and there's no point in saying anything more. After all, those who deserved to be punished have been punished. Now, all he has left to do is repay the debt of gratitude. It's just that Wenxi doesn't need him for anything and rarely contacts him.
After getting their train tickets, Wenxi and her two companions headed home. The tickets included two middle berths and one lower berth, all in the same carriage, which was quite convenient. They could lock the door and sleep peacefully.
The train was scheduled to depart in two days, which meant Wenxi had two more days to arrange some things. So she took the feed ducks she had prepared earlier to the black market and sold them, exchanging 5,000 catties of feed ducks for 7,500 yuan.
In addition, Wenxi also brought out 100,000 sanitary napkins. When she wholesaled them, a pack cost several yuan, which meant each pad cost several mao (0.06 yuan). But in this place, no one could afford to buy them at that price.
After all, you need several tablets a day, who can afford that?
So the price offered by Wenxi was one cent per piece, and the black market added another cent, making it two cents per piece, or a few cents a month. There should be quite a few people who could afford it.
Then there's toilet paper, which costs one cent per roll, because one roll can last a person for a while, unlike sanitary napkins, which need to be changed every few hours.
Wenxi only sold 10,000 rolls of toilet paper, which was exactly 1,000 yuan. In other words, Wenxi made nearly 10,000 yuan from this black market trip.
She kept enough for her family's use over the next few years, and then slowly resold the rest at a low price, as a way of giving back to society.
Because society develops rapidly, these things will soon become widespread and reach ordinary people's homes. In other words, it would be meaningless for her to keep so many, so she should just gradually move them out!
