However, Lin Ran quickly came to her senses and decided to let Shi Yan know once he found out.
Anyway, she will definitely have a lot of bags when she goes back, and when others see her, they will definitely wonder where her family got so much money.
Since someone has offered it to you, let him help share the burden.
The three were about to leave the station when they were stopped by someone.
"Wait a minute."
Lin Ran turned around and saw that it was the ticket seller.
The ticket seller looked to be about twenty years old, tall and thin. Although she was dressed casually, the pink scarf around her neck was quite eye-catching.
Lin Ran looked at the pink scarf and had already planned to buy two for her mother to wear alternately.
The ticket seller ran over and pulled Lin Ran aside.
After making sure that no one else could see, she took out five dollars and handed it to Lin Ran.
"Look, I know you saw her just now and she gave me ten dollars. Can I give you half?"
"Actually, you don't have to give it to me. Since I didn't expose you at the time, there will be no chance to tell you later, so you don't have to worry at all."
Lin Ran seeks truth from facts.
The ticket seller was Zhao Qiaolan. When she saw that Lin Ran refused to take it, she became anxious and stuffed it directly into Lin Ran's bag.
"Of course I know this, but just take it. I'm giving it to you sincerely, and I'll feel at ease only if you take it."
"This is the first time I've accepted money from someone privately, and I feel a little uneasy."
Seeing that she said so, Lin Ran no longer refused.
Zhao Qiaolan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Ran finally accepted it.
She knew that Lin Ran had something to do in the county town, so she didn't delay him any longer. She chatted with him casually, introduced herself, and told Lin Ran that he could visit her in the commune in the future. After that, she trotted away.
After the others left, Lin Laosan came over with a curious look on his face.
"Little sister, why is this conductor looking for you?"
"Nothing, I just hit it off with your sister and asked me to go play with her when I'm free. Okay, let's go."
Lin Ran said something perfunctorily and led the way away.
Is his younger sister so popular?
Fortunately, Lin Laosan was not the type to get to the bottom of things. When he heard that they were going shopping, he immediately put the matter out of his mind.
There was a hint of thought in Shi Yan's eyes, but he didn't think too deeply about it.
After they got out of the bus station, Shi Yan asked them again where they were going, and Lin Ran finally told the truth.
"I brought a gold bracelet and wanted to go to the bank to exchange it for money first."
"Gold bracelet?"
Shi Yan was a little confused.
Lin Ran nodded and started making up stories again.
"This is my mother's dowry, and it's been given to me now. But you know my family's situation, so I want to convert it into money directly for household expenses."
Lin Laosan, who was standing by, was almost frightened to death when he heard this.
"Little sister, are you serious? That's the dowry that Mom saved for you. What are you talking about now? You want to exchange it for money? Did you tell your parents about this in advance? Did they agree?"
If Lin Ran acted first and reported later, she would definitely be the one who would be in trouble when she returned home.
His parents definitely wouldn't dare to touch Lin Ran, so it's understandable that all their anger can only be vented on him.
When Lin Laosan thought about being beaten by a mixed doubles team, he felt pain all over his body.
Even Shi Yan looked disapproving after hearing this.
"Comrade Lin, are you short of money? I can lend it to you first. As for that gold bracelet, it's your dowry. How can you just exchange it for money?"
Lin Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with them anymore.
"If you delay any longer, it will be noon soon. Are you still going to buy anything?"
"Besides, this is my stuff. I can do whatever I want with it. You don't have to follow me. I can go alone."
After these words were spoken, the two grown men had no choice but to give in.
Seeing that they stopped talking, Lin Ran was satisfied and asked them to lead the way to the bank.
Shi Yan's eyes flickered at this determined attitude of selling the dowry. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Comrade Lin, why don't you let me go in and change you?"
"There's no need to bother Shi Zhiqing with such a small matter."
Lin Ran actually didn’t want to have much contact with Shi Yan, especially since she had just been implicated by this guy on the road.
"I'm just afraid that the bank people will ask about it. This gold bracelet is my aunt's dowry, but I'm afraid that you can't explain the specific origins and arouse suspicion."
"After all, I am an educated youth, and I am from another place. They can't ask questions even if they want to."
When Lin Ran heard this, she hesitated.
Because just as Shi Yan said, it is really hard to say the origin of her gold bracelet.
Thinking of this, she looked a little annoyed. She had just wanted to keep a distance from the other person, but ended up turning around and bothering him.
Seeing this, Shi Yan continued to persuade him.
"Comrade Lin, don't feel any pressure. This is just a small matter for me, just a casual one."
Sure enough, these words made Lin Ran's expression relax a lot. Now there was really no other way, so he could only ask Shi Yan for help.
She nodded in agreement immediately.
"I'm so sorry to have to trouble Shi Zhiqing again!"
Lin Ran had already made up her mind that she must treat Shi Yan to a meal at noon to express her gratitude.
Seeing that Lin Ran finally agreed, Shi Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, what he said just now was a bit alarmist. Even if the bank asked further questions, it would not get to the bottom of it.
He said this on purpose because he wanted to take over the job so that he could buy the gold bracelet with his own money.
I will return it to Lin Ran when I have the chance.
After all, it’s a girl’s dowry, how can you give it away so easily!
It would have been fine if he didn't know, but now that he knows, he naturally can't just stand by and watch.
