Chapter 121 Translation

"Why is Xie Xiuzhen involved with Zhou Nuan? A rough guy and a country bumpkin, they are a perfect match." Zeng Yanli mocked and tried to pull Ji Huayan, "Ignore these two. Didn't you say you would help me buy local specialties to take abroad? Let's go."

Ji Huayan had been dragging her shopping these past two days. She was originally angry with her. If it weren't for her, she would never have sold her house at such a low price. But after Ji Huayan had a heart-to-heart talk with her, her anger subsided.

She was right. Anyway, she had already decided to leave. What was the point of keeping this broken house? Just sell it. Only in this way could she pursue her good life faster. She forgave her, and they went shopping together and began to plan the things they would need when they went abroad. Ji Huayan also bought a lot, but she always forgot to bring money and asked her to pay for it.

Ji Huayan didn't move.

The purpose of bringing her here this time was to buy a gold bracelet, but not for herself, but to give it to Chen Yan to please her. Two days ago, she spent money on a pair of gold earrings to give to Gu Xiyue's mother, intending to take a roundabout way, but the other party refused to accept it.

The gold earrings were not worth giving to Chen Yan, so she thought of adding some money to exchange them for a gold bracelet. This was also the reason why she pulled Zeng Yanli here.

"Wait, someone is coming."

Zeng Yanli looked over and saw a tall foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes walking into Xie Xiuzhen's gold shop. She couldn't help but look at him with admiration, "It's a foreigner..."

It's not her fault. There are really not many foreigners in Haicheng now, so when she suddenly saw someone like this, she was met with strange and flattering looks wherever she went.

Xie Xiuzhen was also surprised that a foreigner came to her small gold shop. She was nervous and flustered for a moment, and hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, hello, what do you need to buy?"

Her shop assistant also stood there with his hands behind his back, looking alert and a little scared, with a hint of inferiority and flattery, completely forgetting about Zhou Nuan next to him.

Zhou Nuan frowned.

The foreigner looked around and started talking in a rather friendly manner. He didn't act superior at all, which made Zhou Nuan feel a little favorable towards him.

Xie Xiuzhen naturally didn't understand and looked confused, "What did you say?"

The foreigner continued to talk a lot, speaking slowly and gesturing with his hands, but even so, Xie Xiuzhen still couldn't understand what he meant.

Zhou Nuan naturally understood it. Thinking back to when she was a member of the Earth Street Gang, this was too easy for her.

Xie Xiuzhen felt a headache and looked at her shop clerk again. The clerk was only a junior high school graduate and had not learned any English at that time. How could Xie Xiuzhen understand what she said? She could only smile awkwardly.

"Go find someone who can understand." Xie Xiuzhen said.

Shop assistant: “Where can I find it?”

Zeng Yanli outside the door pushed Ji Huayan and said, "Hey, didn't you study abroad? Do you understand?"

It wasn't that she wanted to help Xie Xiuzhen. She and Xie Xiuzhen had been neighbors for many years and they disliked each other. She just wanted to show off in front of her.

Ji Huayan hesitated. She went to a small country in Southeast Asia, not Europe, and was not very good at English. She had a hard time hearing what the foreigners were saying, and there were still several words she didn't understand.

However, she really wanted to have a good relationship with Xie Xiuzhen. She had been avoiding her like a snake and scorpion since she caught her killing that little beast last time. Xie Xiuzhen was generous, unlike Zeng Yanli, who was stingy even though she paid some money for her. She was so stingy even though she had tens of thousands of yuan from selling the house.

Besides, Xie Xiuzhen owns a gold shop. If she is happy to give herself a gold necklace or a gold bracelet, wouldn't that be a big win? She has always wanted a gold bracelet and coveted the big gold bracelet on Ji's mother's hand. Unfortunately, Ji's mother never gave it to her and said that she would prepare it for her after she got married.

If I had helped Xie Xiuzhen this time...

Ji Huayan's heart moved, and she made up her mind and was about to step in, when suddenly a female voice speaking English was heard in the store. The voice was clear and fluent, without even an accent.

The person who spoke was actually that country woman Zhou Nuan!

Ji Huayan widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Zhou Nuan who had a neither humble nor arrogant expression and a faint smile on her face.

This woman can actually speak English? And speak it so well?!

Under Xie Xiuzhen's incredulous gaze, Zhou Nuan calmly spoke to the foreigner in English, "Hello? What can I do for you?"

The foreigner didn't expect that someone could understand him, and he was very happy. He continued to talk very fast. Xie Xiuzhen felt like she was listening to a foreign language. She turned around to look at Zhou Nuan, but Zhou Nuan looked very clear and listened attentively.

After the foreigner finished speaking, Zhou Nuan said "Oh".

Xie Xiuzhen asked carefully, "Zhou Nuan, did you understand what he said?"

"He said he wanted to buy a pair of earrings for a girl he liked from our country, but he didn't know if there were any concerns in the old customs, as they are not for weddings." Zhou Nuan explained.

I didn’t expect this little foreigner to be so romantic and respectful. He’s a nice person.

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Xie Xiuzhen breathed a sigh of relief. She wondered what the foreigner was going to do, but it turned out that he wanted to buy something to please his little girlfriend.

"I don't have any scruples, but girls in our country have always been taught not to accept expensive gifts, especially when the relationship is not clear, so we can't choose something too expensive, for fear of scaring the other person. This one and this one are both popular with young girls in our store."

Xie Xiuzhen introduced them one by one, and Zhou Nuan translated on the side. Her calm and relaxed attitude caused the shop assistant to glance at her several times.

Finally, the foreigner chose a pair of beauty's tears earrings under Xie Xiuzhen's introduction. They were elegant but not stingy. The foreigner was very satisfied. He paid the money happily and thanked Zhou Nuan solemnly. If it weren't for her, he would probably have returned empty-handed this time.

Before leaving, he stuffed a $10 bill into Zhou Nuan's pocket, saying it was a tip for her. Zhou Nuan tried to refuse a few times, but the foreigner didn't let her refuse. He just put it down and left.

She didn't find it strange. Foreigners have always had the habit of tipping, so it was no big deal.

She casually put the money away. The clerk looked at her in admiration, "Sister Nuannuan, you are amazing. He is a foreigner. Aren't you afraid at all? You even dared to talk to him."

The tone of her voice was as if she had just done something remarkable.

Zhou Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "He's just a foreigner. His eyes are a little darker and his nose is a little higher. It's still two eyes, one nose and one mouth. What's the big deal?"

Xie Xiuzhen also looked surprised, "Zhou Nuan, I didn't know you could speak foreign languages, are you a college student?"
