Chapter 58: Complaining and Acting Pitiful
"And if you buy it today, there's a discount, don't miss this great opportunity."
As the clerk spoke, he put his hand into the counter, took out the big golden bracelet from the counter, and placed it in front of Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wanren was stunned.
She really did not expect that her eyes were only fixed on the gold bracelet for a moment, and the clerk could easily see what she was thinking.
Now, after hearing what the clerk said, Jiang Wan just felt embarrassed, and was mostly afraid.
She was afraid that Zhou Kuangyu would be dissatisfied with her because she liked the gold bracelet.
What the gold shop clerk said made Jiang Wan quite embarrassed.
Jiang Wan was in a dilemma. Neither this nor that was the right answer.
The atmosphere remained tense. Even though Jiang Wan liked the big gold bracelet very much, she didn't dare to say it directly.
After all, the person who actually paid was not her, but Zhou Kuangyu.
Considering the unpleasant incident that happened in front of the gold shop before, how could Jiang Wan have the courage to do that now?
Jiang Wan looked at a loss, and she quickly turned around to look at Zhou Kuangyu's expression.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw Zhou Kuangyu's face, which was a bit ugly.
Nowadays, gold bracelets are actually heavier than grams, and one gold bracelet weighs about 40 grams.
Considering the current price of gold, it would be impossible to buy it without spending several thousand dollars.
And today, coming to the department store to go shopping was just a sudden idea for the two of them.
Even if Zhou Kuangyu could buy it for her, Jiang Wan was not sure whether Zhou Kuangyu had enough money in his bag.
Seeing that Zhou Kuangyu remained silent, Jiang Wan felt even less confident.
She bit her lip, turned away from the counter, ran to Zhou Kuangyu, and tugged at the man's shirt sleeve:
"Kuang Yu, um...I..."
Jiang Wan just said a few words briefly, and then Zhou Kuangyu's eyes immediately swept over, and Jiang Wan's words, which had not yet been finished, were immediately stuck at her lips.
Zhou Kuangyu felt unhappy seeing Jiang Wan's timid look.
He raised his eyes, glanced at the big gold bracelet the clerk mentioned, turned cold, and then said to Jiang Wan:
"If you like it, we can come back to buy it in two days."
"I was in a hurry today, and I didn't bring that much money in my pocket. It might not be enough to pay for the bracelet."
"Take a look at the earrings first, the smaller ones. We'll decide on the gold bracelet in a few days."
Zhou Kuangyu directly rejected Jiang Wan's idea of buying the gold bracelet.
Let Jiang Wan go and see some small jewelry. How could Jiang Wan not understand the meaning of his words?
It's just that I think the gold bracelet is too expensive, so I buy myself something cheaper.
Jiang Wan decided to quit and nodded to Zhou Kuangyu. She wanted to turn around and look at the gold earrings and gold ring.
However, she felt that Zhou Kuangyu still needed to be coaxed. Jiang Wan said softly, "Zhou Kuangyu:
"Kuang Yu, you misunderstood. I didn't intend to buy the gold bracelet. I just glanced over there, and the clerk thought I liked it, so he took it out."
"There is a reason why I took a few more glances at this gold bracelet."
Jiang Wan started to play the sympathy card and acted pitiful:
"Kuang Yu, you also know that my family's conditions are average. My brother is almost 30 years old and has not yet married, so my family is particularly anxious."
"Just a few days ago, I finally managed to get a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for my brother, but the girl's family asked for a small Western-style house in town, plus a big gold bracelet."
"But you know in your heart, after all, my head teacher has already told you that my family's situation is such that it's difficult for me to even have enough food to eat."
"This is a request made by the girl's family. How can my family afford it?"
"But my parents couldn't bear to give up this marriage. After all, in the village, if he couldn't find a wife at the age of over 30, my brother would be a bachelor for the rest of his life."
"So they used the scholarship I received from college to buy a big gold bracelet for my future sister-in-law."
"Plus, we used up half of our family's life savings to buy a house for my brother in town. Now that I'm going to college, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford living expenses."
"That's why I kept my eyes on the big gold bracelet for a few seconds. When I think of this, I feel very sad."
"I am really saddened by the scene."
"If I hadn't met you and sponsored poor students like us to go to school, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to go to college."
As Jiang Wan spoke, she even sobbed twice.
Zhou Kuangyu heard this in his heart. After all, he was not a heartless man, so he naturally felt some sympathy for Jiang Wan.
I didn't expect there was such a reason behind this.
So just now, because Jiang Wan brought him to the gold shop, he felt that Jiang Wan was a person with too many thoughts, but these thoughts were temporarily suppressed by Zhou Kuangyu.
Moreover, Zhou Kuangyu learned about Jiang Wan's family conditions from her class teacher.
So he naturally thought that what Jiang Wan said should not be false at all.
After all, there are still many families in rural areas that favor boys over girls. As Jiang Wan said, it is not uncommon for parents to use their daughter's scholarship to marry their eldest son.
Zhou Kuangyu didn't feel heartbroken yet, but his face was obviously not as dark as before.
He softened his tone and said to Jiang Wan in a comforting tone:
"Then you can pick out some gold earrings first. When I have time in a few days, I will bring you here to buy a gold bracelet."
"As for going to school in the provincial capital, don't worry. I came to the town this time to investigate the matter of funding poor students."
"If your family situation is true, we will naturally support you until you graduate from university. You don't have to worry about this at all."
"Besides, they all go through formal channels, which is relatively fair and will not arouse suspicion from others."
"Besides, since you followed me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly financially."
Zhou Kuangyu said this because he knew that Jiang Wan was an unmarried girl. Naturally, the fewer people who knew about his relationship with Jiang Wan, the better.
After being comforted like this, Jiang Wan instantly felt much more relieved.
She thought to herself, what if Zhou Kuangyu got tired of her in the end and dumped her?
With his assurance now, I don't have to worry about the future or how difficult the four years of college life will be.
