"Old Xiao, this girl is incredible. I asked her 1,360 and she whipped it out. It was such a huge amount of money, and she spent it without blinking an eye. I don't know whose child she is, she's incredible."
Jiang Cha went back and was rummaging through the cloth in her big bag. She never thought that the two people were talking about her behind her back.
"Just look at how much our factory director spent this time. A lot of it is things we wouldn't normally touch. He was really willing to spend for his sister-in-law.
Luckily, this child isn't from an ordinary family, otherwise, if he fell into the hands of human traffickers, he'd be in big trouble. The factory director's sister-in-law hasn't come to work these past few days, fearing they'd find her. What's her plan? She really thinks she can cover up everything, but this time, she's really hit a snag.
"I heard too. She accepted bribes from people in your sales department and cut in line for orders. The girl didn't have to wait that late that day, but her sister-in-law squeezed in several people's orders, so she was waiting so late."
"That's right, otherwise why would they do it so quickly as soon as I mentioned my name? They even took out a whole piece of material for the girl, and the price was cut right at the knees. That's right, we can't usually get our hands on these materials, so it's cheap. I like the girl, and they paid for it, which is great."
"I knew you liked her. She picked out such a big bag of fine cloth, each piece could be used to make a skirt or a top. And you gave it to her for free. Can you return it to her later?"
"Who am I to get myself involved without the leader's permission? The factory director said that Jiang Cha must be satisfied. As long as she is satisfied, this matter will be over.
If the incident had passed, his sister-in-law would have been fine. I heard that several military vehicles arrived that night, carrying this thing (), and his sister-in-law was sent home because her legs were so weak that she couldn't walk.
"Serves her right. She's been so busy in the factory all day long. Even the factory director is not as arrogant as her. Now she's quiet. Lao Xiao, go in quickly and pick out some material and put it on the girl's bill. We are two families, so take it back and give it to Yingzi and her husband."
"Then I won't be polite with you. I'll pick one out to make a small quilt for my eldest grandson. It's a gift from you as a grandfather to the child. Come and take a look at this one. What do you think?"
Jiang Cha had no idea that people were talking about her behind her back, and she had no idea that someone was taking advantage of her.
The last piece of cloth that my elder sister gave me for free was one meter wide and one to one and a half meters long. Whose cloth was that big? It was just the material for her clothes.
All the materials were carefully stored in the space cabinet. They could not be worn now, otherwise people would say they were a capitalist hedonist.
When she finds a skilled craftsman in the future, she will also be able to wear a cheongsam beautifully.
Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, I quickly called Uncle Dong and told him that I would not be going back to avoid worrying him.
I ate dinner directly in the space. There was no taste in my mouth for several days. Every day I had light dishes. If it weren’t for the wound, I really wanted to eat rice with chili sauce.
She remembered that she also had some smoked meat pancakes packed from Siping, with the chopped green onions placed separately, and she ate three of them with the braised meat and spread some sauce on them.
She sat contentedly on the sofa, her northern stomach unable to handle the sweetness of the food. She took the phone from a certain auntie and continued reading the novel with relish.
This is life. Why make yourself cry for a man?
It wasn't until my phone ran out of battery that I realized I'd been up all night reading. Staying up late will make you bald. Baldness warning! You need to post these words by your bed.
If you relax a little, your old bad habits will come out. In order to have a good body and enjoy a better life in the future, you should go to bed early and get up early, and exercise seriously.
I simply didn't sleep and went out for a walk. I need to avoid certain foods when I'm injured. After the wound heals, I can eat crabs and shrimps.
I followed the grocery shopping woman like a seasoned idiot, watching her hurriedly go wherever she was going. I found a corner away from people, took out my prepared headscarf and wig, and put on a black coat, dressing like a man in his 20s.
Carrying a large basket, he followed the others into the woods behind the school.
The hairy crabs she had been longing for, two baskets full, were clearly freshly arrived. Regardless of anything else, she first discussed with the crab vendor and asked him to carry the two baskets of crabs to the side of the woods so someone could come and get them.
After the uncle walked away, she put the bamboo baskets away. The two bamboo baskets cost her thirty cents!
Back to the black market, I bought river shrimp and fresh fish. I also bought a lot of lotus root, green vegetables, lettuce, cilantro, and scallions. These are common in the south and are a treasure on northern tables during the cold winter.
I've also added some chicken and duck eggs. It would be great if I could come around the Qingming Festival. River seafood is in season in the south around that time: snails, clams, bamboo shoots, broad beans. Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly delicious. I'll try to find a spot in season on my future business trips.
After changing clothes from the black market and eating something outside, we went to the department store to buy some things for everyone.
I bought six cans of lotus root starch from Hangzhou, which cost about the same as malted milk. I'm going to give these as gifts when I get home. I also bought oil-paper umbrellas and Wang Xingji fans—I spent a lot of money.
These gifts to her aunts and uncles were sure to be well-received. She bought two bottles of rice wine as gifts. She bought two large jars of wine, each weighing thirty pounds, from a small private brewery in the alley. The uncle who sold crabs told her about the place; it was said to be a perfect match with his crabs.
Back at the guesthouse, she didn't want to think about anything and rushed to sleep. Any worries were nothing compared to the shopping spree. She was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as her pillow touched hers. Who would still think about her love that died so early?
Sleeping until she wakes naturally, counting money until her hands cramp. Could she retire early now? Her past life's QQ signature. Now her dream has come true. Getting rich requires time travel, as countless predecessors have verified.
