Fu Yuanshan was standing in front of the tailor shop, sulking, when he saw Jiang Jianhua coming from the street corner with a basket on his shoulder. As soon as she saw him, she shouted, "What are you doing here? Where are the eggs and meat that Mom asked you to buy?"
"I forgot," Fu Yuanshan said irritably. "Go buy it yourself."
"I'm going to buy it? Then what are you doing here?" Jiang Jianhua shoved the basket into his hands, then turned around and saw the backs of Yun Tangyin and Yu Xia walking away.
This is really bad.
Jiang Jianhua's temper flared up: "Wandering around with Yun Tangyin? I knew you were after her. If Fu Yucheng finds out, you're in for it!"
Fu Yuanshan abruptly threw down the basket, as if he had been stung and was furious: "What do you know! I just want to get along with her so it'll be easier to borrow money from her in the future!"
"Borrow money?" Jiang Jianhua's eyes widened. "With your little tricks, you can fool others but not me! If you dare to have any ulterior motives towards Yun Tangyin, I'll fight you to the death!"
Fu Yuanshan was annoyed by her yelling and turned to leave, saying, "Do whatever you want!"
Jiang Jianhua watched his retreating figure, then looked at the basket on the ground, and stomped her feet in anger. She couldn't live like this anymore!
On the other side, as soon as Yun Tangyin and Yu Xia entered the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw Accountant Wang doing accounting at the counter.
"They're here?" Accountant Wang looked up and smiled. "Perfect timing, the new brown sugar has arrived. I've reserved two jin for your family."
Because Yu Xia has never had children, she has been taking care of her health and preparing for pregnancy for many years. She has been using brown sugar all year round and often drinks brown sugar water to nourish her body.
"Thank you, Brother Wang." Yu Xia went to get the brown sugar, while Yun Tangyin walked to the fabric cabinet. "Do you have any blue thread? We need to use something sturdy to make pants for Acheng."
The salesperson handed over a spool of thread: "This is from Shanghai, it's very sturdy."
Yu Xia walked over carrying a package of brown sugar: "Yinyin, look, they're selling hair clips over there! They're really pretty."
Yun Tangyin looked in the direction she pointed, but suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind.
He frowned and looked closely before recognizing it...
The one wearing a floral dress and with her hair in a low ponytail... is none other than Xu Runli herself!
Xu Runli stood in front of the hair clip counter, trying on hair clips in front of the mirror.
Perhaps because she noticed Yun Tangyin's unusual expression, Yu Xia moved a little closer.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xia asked in a low voice, "Do you know them?"
Didn't they say it would arrive the day after tomorrow?
Yun Tangyin raised an eyebrow: "They probably arrived ahead of schedule."
Even so, Xu Runli didn't cause any trouble, and Yun Tangyin didn't intend to slap her as soon as they met. She acted as if she hadn't seen it and turned to the sales clerk, saying, "Give me two more pairs of socks, in dark colors."
Xu Runli saw them at that moment, raised her face, and walked over with a smile: "Sister? What a coincidence! I just arrived in Northeast China and was thinking of buying you a gift when I came to visit."
I have no idea what she went through.
Looking at Xu Runli in front of her, Yun Tangyin found her to be completely different from the person she remembered when she left the Yun family.
The current Xu Runli is no longer the same as before. Standing there, she looks simple and honest, but to put it bluntly, she looks rustic and unsophisticated.
Wearing a floral dress and leather shoes, with her hair tied in a neat ponytail, Xu Runli had no accessories, but her healthy complexion made her look like a sunny and energetic female student.
Even her complexion had improved a lot, with a healthy rosy glow from being nourished, and even her eyes had gained more confidence.
Xu Runli's address of "sister" made Yu Xia take a few more glances at her.
Although her outfit wouldn't be considered tacky anywhere, and she could even be considered somewhat attractive, there was still a significant difference in her aura compared to Yun Tangyin.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Yun Tangyin smiled faintly, "But I don't like these fancy things, you should keep them for yourself."
When Yun Tangyin smiled, the contrast became even more obvious.
Xu Runli tightened her grip on the hair clip, but maintained her smile: "Sister, what are you saying? We're sisters after all, I can't just come empty-handed. Besides, the Fu family is a wealthy family, if I'm too shabby, wouldn't I be embarrassing you?"
These words made Yun Tangyin raise an eyebrow. Well, she had both clarified their relationship and subtly praised the Fu family while putting down herself. She was certainly more eloquent than before.
“The Fu family values practicality and doesn’t care for empty gifts.” Yun Tangyin picked up a sock and compared the colors: “If you really want to give a gift, why not bring two feet of cloth for your second sister-in-law? She’s been complaining lately that she doesn’t have any new clothes to wear.”
At this point, Yun Tangyin bluntly pointed out, "Besides, now you are you and I am me, let's not be so close."
Seeing Yun Tangyin's impolite attitude, Xu Runli's face turned ashen.
Yu Xia was trying not to laugh; Yin Yin's mouth...
And then there's Jiang Jianhua's temper. If he accepts Xu Runli's cloth, who knows how much he'll show off. With Fu Yuanshan's attitude... the house will be in for a good time.
Xu Runli's smile froze on her face, and she forced out a few words: "Second sister-in-law? Ah, I haven't met her before..."
"We'll see each other soon." Yun Tangyin paid for the thread and socks. "I won't keep you company any longer."
After saying that, she turned and left without giving Xu Runli a chance to speak. Yu Xia glanced at Xu Runli and quickly caught up with Yun Tangyin.
Xu Runli was left standing there, clenching her fists in anger.
Xu Runli stared at Yun Tangyin's back, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
Why is it that Yun Tangyin can marry into the Fu family and become the head of the household, while I have to figure out how to please Jiang Zhicheng in order to gain a foothold in the Jiang family?
She slammed the hair clip on the counter, shouting, "Who cares about giving her a gift!"
The sales clerk's expression wasn't very pleasant: "Sir, you'll have to pay for it if it breaks! This hair clip is from Shanghai!"
