Xu Runli glared at her: "How much money could it be? It's not like I can't afford it!"
After saying that, he pulled out several one-yuan bills from his pocket and threw them onto the counter one by one, displaying the air of a nouveau riche: "Is that enough? Is that enough?!"
She's not short of money now; no matter what, Jiang Zhicheng hasn't shortchanged her a single penny.
Xu Runli came to Northeast China partly with the intention of showing off in front of Yun Tangyin and making her look bad.
When Xu Runli had finished showing off and turned to leave, she bumped into Jiang Jianhua, who was carrying a basket.
"Hey, isn't this Runli? What are you doing here alone?" Jiang Jianhua's eyes lit up: "Why did you arrive early?"
When Xu Runli saw Jiang Jianhua, the anger she had just felt from being rebuked by Yun Tangyin immediately found an outlet. She deliberately puffed out her chest and swung the new watch on her wrist.
"Zhicheng said the weather in the Northeast is different, so he told me to come and see if I need to buy anything. I was just thinking of buying a hair clip when I ran into Yun Tangyin. She said that what I bought was too flashy and not worthy of the Fu family's standards."
Jiang Jianhua's eyes widened immediately: "She dares to say that? It's okay, just ignore her! She's just taking advantage of Fu Yucheng's affection for her."
She leaned over and touched Xu Runli's skirt. "This material is nice, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"It's not expensive. Zhicheng gave me twenty yuan, which should last me a while."
Xu Runli deliberately raised her voice: "He also said that once I've established myself, he'll find me an easy job in the factory, one that won't involve being exposed to the wind and sun."
These words struck a nerve with Jiang Jianhua. She had been married into the Fu family for so long, and Fu Yuanshan wouldn't even buy her a new piece of fabric, and he was stingy when it came to gifts.
"Zhicheng still dotes on you the most," Jiang Jianhua said sourly. "Unlike my husband, he treats me like I'm going to kill him if I ask him to give me a gift."
Seeing that she had taken the bait, Xu Runli quickly seized the opportunity: "If you don't mind, I have a piece of floral fabric here, which Zhicheng asked someone to bring from Shanghai. It'll be perfect for making you a jacket."
She took out half a foot of floral fabric from her bag. It was white with blue flowers, very simple and pretty. She said it was from Shanghai, but it was actually just scraps.
Jiang Jianhua's eyes lit up: "Really for me?"
"Of course, we're all family." Xu Runli handed the cloth to her, her smile growing wider.
Jiang Jianhua couldn't hide the smile in his eyes as he busily compared the floral fabric to his body.
"These patterns are so beautiful!" Jiang Jianhua stuffed the floral fabric into the basket and pulled Xu Runli out, saying, "Come on, let's go home with your sister-in-law! I'll ask Yuanshan to get you a chicken to nourish your body. You're not fat, so take good care of yourself and give the Jiang family a big son as soon as possible."
Xu Runli feigned reluctance: "Isn't it unnecessary to spend so much?"
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Jianhua patted the back of her hand. "With Zhicheng gone, it's my duty as your sister-in-law to take good care of you. By the way, you just said Yun Tangyin called you flashy? She dresses up in such a flamboyant way every day, how dare she criticize others?"
Xu Runli lowered her eyelids, feigning grievance: "Maybe I was too abrupt. Actually, I just wanted to find a job, but I was afraid I didn't have the skills..."
"With your sister-in-law around, what job can't you find?" Jiang Jianhua patted his chest and boasted, "Your sister-in-law will definitely take care of you!"
A hint of smugness flashed in Xu Runli's eyes, but she still said sweetly, "Thank you so much, sister-in-law. I feel at ease with you here."
