Chapter 122 Doubt

She really is a college student, but this is her in the present world. This body probably didn't even finish junior high school, but that can't be said.

Fearing that Xie Xiuzhen would continue to ask questions, Zhou Nuan laughed and changed the subject.

Outside the door, Ji Huayan clenched his fists tightly, staring at the three people in the store, his heart filled with fear.

Zeng Yanli's eyes were filled with envy, and her tone was both sour and yearning, "He is indeed a foreigner, so generous. It seems that there is gold everywhere in foreign countries..."

She became more determined to go abroad.

"Hua Yan, why didn't you go up and translate just now? You gave her the opportunity to be in the spotlight for nothing."

Ji Huayan said nothing and looked very unhappy.

"But Zhou Nuan is really amazing. She can be so calm in front of foreigners and speaks foreign languages ​​fluently." Zeng Yanli said sourly, "It seems that she practiced a lot at home."

"No.."

"?" Zeng Yanli looked at Ji Huayan who was gritting his teeth.

"Impossible! There's no way a country girl can understand foreign languages!" Ji Huayan's facial features were grim.

She was most proud of the fact that she had studied abroad and could speak a foreign language. Unexpectedly, this point was ruthlessly shattered by Zhou Nuan. Although she didn't want to admit it, the other party was obviously much better than her. The speed of speech was fast and standard, not much different from her mother tongue. She didn't even understand half of it. The ease of speaking didn't look like someone who had memorized it by rote, but like someone who had lived abroad for many years.

But, her mother clearly said that this woman had always stayed in the countryside. She knew that Wantou Village was a closed and backward mountain village, and there was no way there would be foreigners. Moreover, Zhou Nuan was not welcomed by her family and was not allowed to continue her studies before she finished junior high school. Where did she learn such fluent foreign languages?

Who is she?!

She would have to investigate this.

"Let's go, Sister Ali."

"Hey? Aren't you going shopping?" Zeng Yanli was surprised. Didn't she say there was something she had wanted to buy for a long time and asked her to help pay for it first?

Ji Huayan didn't answer her. She just took a deep look at Zhou Nuan in the store and turned away.

Zhou Nuan didn't know that Ji Huayan had seen this scene. If it hadn't happened suddenly, she might not have helped.

After choosing the gold jewelry, she returned home and went to find Qin Yuezhi as soon as she entered the house, "Aunt Li, where is my mother?"

Aunt Li pointed the direction with her mouth, "Wash your hands."

Qin Yuezhi has lived in the countryside all her life, and some bad habits have become ingrained in her life, such as not washing hands after going to the toilet and chewing food with her mouth to feed her two children.

Of course Zhou Nuan wouldn't let her do that, and she spent a long time correcting her behavior. Fortunately, although Qin Yuezhi had a bad memory, she listened to advice, and with Aunt Li's supervision, she gradually changed.

Not long after, Qin Yuezhi came out and saw Zhou Nuan hurriedly stretched out her hand, with an expression of expectation for praise, "Xiao Nuan, I washed my hands."

"Uh, great..." Zhou Nuan praised reluctantly in the tone of praising a child.

When Qin Yuezhi heard this, her old face suddenly turned into a flower with a smile.

Zhou Nuan: ...

This trick doesn't work on the mature kid Brother Su Hang, but it works wonders on old kids. It's true that the older people get, the more they act like kids.

"Mom." She pulled Qin Yuezhi to sit down, "Look what I bought for you?"

"What did you buy?" Qin Yuezhi stretched her head to take a look. When she saw Zhou Nuan taking out a golden ring from her bag, she immediately shrank her head and waved her hands repeatedly, "Mom, no, you young people keep it for me. I'm old and don't need these things."

"Mom," Zhou Nuan didn't give her any time to explain, and pulled her hand up, "Who says you can't wear gold and silver when you're old? Which of the neighbors around here doesn't wear something in his hand?"

It is said that the poorer people are, the more snobbish they are. In fact, both the rich and the poor are all snobbish. Several times she saw Qin Yuezhi walking out, but she just couldn't fit in with the group. Those people already laughed at her strong rural accent, and they were even more disdainful of her old-fashioned clothes.

There is really no need to force your way into a circle that you don't fit into, but that doesn't mean they don't have it in their family.

The gold ring was put on Qin Yuezhi's hand. Qin Yuezhi felt mixed emotions. "When you married into my family, I didn't buy you a piece of jewelry. I always feel guilty about it. You really don't have to give it to me. Keep it for yourself."

Zhou Nuan felt warm in her heart. Qin Yuezhi was indeed an excellent mother-in-law.

"Xiyue gave me the money, so I bought it. This is specially bought for you."

She showed Qin Yuezhi the gold necklace she bought.

Aunt Li advised, "Old lady, your daughter-in-law is so filial, just keep her. You are so lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law." Unlike her, she has to work as a helper to supplement the family income at her old age. If she didn't have this little salary, let alone buying gold for her, it would be good enough if she didn't give her a cold shoulder.

Comparing yourself to others will really make you angry.

Seeing that it was true, Qin Yuezhi stopped insisting, "Xiao Nuan is indeed very good."

With joy in her heart, the corners of her mouth could not help but smile. She stretched out her hand and looked left and right, and suddenly said, "Speaking of this, a few days ago, the girl from the Ji family insisted on giving me gold earrings."

Ji Huayan gave her gold earrings?

Zhou Nuan raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Is that true? Did you accept it, Mom?"

"How could I possibly accept it? I have no relationship with her, and she suddenly gave me such an expensive gift. I was so scared... Anyway, what does that girl want to do? Why do I feel like she's always keeping an eye on our family?"

What did Ji Huayan want to do? Who could hide Sima Zhao's intentions? He just saw that Gu Xiyue's way was not working, so he wanted to find another way.

She really admired her indomitable spirit.

But if something is offered to you, you shouldn't refuse it. If she insists on giving it to you, then it's fine to accept it.

"Mom, next time she insists that you accept it, just accept it. The Ji family is rich and doesn't care about this little money."

Qin Yuezhi exclaimed, "Isn't this a bit bad?"

"It's nothing good or bad. We will have plenty of trouble in the future." Zhou Nuan sneered twice.

Since she said so, Qin Yuezhi always listened to her and nodded immediately.

After a while, Zhou Nuan saw Qin Yuezhi carrying the child out. Ever since she realized she couldn't fit in, she had been staying at home, rarely going out, and only strolling in the garden. This was the first time she took the initiative to go out, and even her back was much straighter than usual.

The next day, Gu Xiyue, who had not been seen for a few days, came back. Qin Yuezhi was very happy and took his hand to show him the ring Zhou Nuan bought for her. She did not mention Ji Huayan. Although she did not know the situation, she had a vague feeling that the girl surnamed Ji was coming for her son.

Gu Xiyue paused slightly, turned his head to look at her white neck, and saw that it was empty, so he frowned slightly.

After dinner, Zhou Nuan went upstairs. Just as she returned to the bedroom, the man caught up with her.

His eyes swept across her delicate collarbone, and he asked in an ambiguous tone, "You only bought it for my mom?"
