Chapter 276 Passerby A Who Died on the Battlefield During the War of Resistance Against Japan (8)
"By the way, Xiao Zhi, have you missed your sister these past few days?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head to indicate that he hadn't thought about it at all. Jiang Yue clutched her chest and cried out, "Waaah, I'm so sad, sister."
Sister Zhao smiled and shook her head. She didn't interfere when Jiang Yue teased Xiao Zhi. After entering the house, Jiang Yue took out the gifts for Sister Zhao and Xiao Zhi. She first put the snacks and candies on the table, indicating that Xiao Zhi should eat first. Then she took out the tea and put it on the table: "This is tea for my brother-in-law."
Then she took out some cosmetics: "This is for you, Sister Zhao. These are cosmetics I researched myself. This is an internal trial version. Touch my face and you'll know if it's good or not once you use it!"
Sister Zhao took it and looked at it, then opened it and smelled it. This was the same thing that Aunt Jiang did. While Jiang Yue and Xiao Zhi were playing, she pinched her cheek and said, "It's really smooth and tender, almost like Xiao Zhi when he was little. How do you use this?"
Jiang Yue explained the usage method to Sister Zhao, and then mentioned the upcoming opening of the shop: "Sister Zhao, please try it out and see the effect. If it's good, please support my business and bring a few of my girlfriends over!"
Sister Zhao said she would try it first, and if it was good, she would definitely recommend it to her. As long as she used it, Jiang Yue was not afraid that she would not recommend it. Once the effect was seen, unless she stayed at home, people would definitely ask about it. At that time, the invisible advertisement would come directly. After talking about cosmetics, Jiang Yue remembered the matter of buying a car.
"Sister Zhao, do you have any trucks for sale?"
Yes, we have all kinds.
"Does Sister Zhao have any cars in stock? I'd like to buy two."
"I'll ask Xiaozhi's dad when I get back, and I'll call you if I find out."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Zhao."
After finishing their business, the two started gossiping. Xiao Zhi had already finished a pastry, and Sister Zhao took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth: "Was the pastry I brought you delicious?"
Xiao Zhi nodded without hesitation. Sister Zhao was a little surprised, after all, she knew that her child was a picky eater. The fact that he nodded without hesitation meant that it was really delicious. She picked up a piece and tasted it. It was crisp, delicious and had a pure aroma. She couldn't resist and finished the pastry in one go.
"Xiaoyue, did you make this?"
"Yeah, you wouldn't believe it."
Sister Zhao nodded, saying that Jiang Yue was truly multi-talented. The two got along very well and chatted until it got dark. When it was time to say goodbye, Sister Zhao held Jiang Yue's hand and told her to come again. After saying goodbye to Sister Zhao and Xiao Zhi, Jiang Yue went home. It was almost dinnertime, and Jiang's father would probably be back by then, so she could still make it to dinner.
Jiang Yue arrived home just in time, and her aunt had just finished cooking. However, Jiang Yue still got a scolding from her mother. It was because she had been treating going home like she was staying in a hotel these past few days, and she wouldn't call home even if she was out all day. Her mother thought she was lost.
After dinner, the family went to Mr. Jiang's study for a while. Ever since they gave Mr. Jiang the spiritual tea, the family had been drinking some every day. While drinking tea, Mr. Jiang asked about Jiang Yue's progress. Jiang Yue told him what she had done that day. Mr. Jiang remembered what Jiang Yue had said about the new factory manager and the new shopkeeper, and secretly planned to investigate, afraid that Jiang Yue might be deceived.
No one else offered an opinion. After finishing her tea, Jiang Yue borrowed some money from her father. She and Sister Zhao hadn't yet saved up for the car they were buying today, and her father lent her the money for this necessary expense. Jiang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I have a few boxes of sulfonamides here. Do you want them? Can I use them to pay off the debt?"
Jiang Yue told her father this because he was also a patriotic businessman who delivered supplies to the Party. Moreover, Jiang Yue's group and her father's group were clearly not the same. At least her father didn't know that Jiang Yue had also joined the Party. Maybe he needed supplies too.
"What? Where did you get sulfonamides?"
“It was something I bought when a classmate of mine went abroad and they were selling off their belongings. I originally wanted to donate it to the front lines, but I didn’t have the means to do so, so it just sat there.”
“You! I told you not to get involved in these things, it’s too dangerous. What are we old folks going to do if those traitors find out? Give me the stuff, and I’ll give you two cars.”
“I’m very careful. You and Mom don’t know anything, so how would those traitors know about their lives?”
"Just give me the money, I don't need your car. I told Sister Zhao I'd buy a car from her, and I'll ask her to help me promote my cosmetics while I'm at it."
"Just because we don't know doesn't mean they don't know either! No, we can't give you the money. If you want to buy a car, have your Uncle Chen pay for it. We can't give you this money; I'm afraid you'll cause trouble!"
Jiang Yue's actions startled her parents. It's one thing for them to do it themselves, but it's a different story when it comes to Jiang Yue. As soon as her father made the suggestion, her mother agreed. The couple decided that they shouldn't let Jiang Yue have too much money in the future, for fear that she might do something dangerous in a moment of impulse.
However, Jiang Yue didn't care. Not to mention that she had a lot of money behind the scenes, she would soon be able to make money openly as well. How much she would make, no one would know unless she said anything. After being scolded by her mother for a long time, Jiang Yue came out of the study. After Jiang Yue left, her mother and father said, "Your daughter is very stubborn. She will step into this sooner or later. If it doesn't work out, let her join us. That way it will be safer."
"Let's wait and see, maybe she'll forget about it after a while." Mr. Jiang comforted himself, though he didn't really believe it himself.
"Whatever. She was lucky this time that no one found out. What about next time? How old is she? What are you doing that you can follow her around every day?"
"By the way, remember to inform Chiang Kai-shek to move those sulfonamides and send them back to the base as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand. I'll give him a call now."
The next morning, Sister Zhao called Jiang Yue to inform her that the car had been reserved for her. After thanking Sister Zhao, Jiang Yue called Uncle Chen and asked him to go find the puppet to bring the car back, and also to pick up the money with Jiang's father.
The business is on track, and it will be able to open once the shop is renovated. The shopkeepers and waiters of the other shops have all been hired. The shop closest to Jiang Yue's home was married to Lao Zhuang, which is also for the sake of easier communication. After finishing these things, the day of school will arrive. Jiang Yue had already thought of an excuse to drop out of school, but she didn't expect that the school would be disbanded before she could say it, and she could no longer run her business.
If you want to learn, you can only go to the schools they run, receive their country's education, learn those distorted and glorified histories, and then instill in students the righteousness of their wars of aggression. In short, it's brainwashing. Not to mention Jiang Yue, even the original owner of this body wouldn't go to such a school.
