"Comrade, who are you buying this for?"
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he didn't mention that day again. She had no intention of returning the ten yuan to him.
"For elders."
"What a coincidence, I'm also giving a gift to an elder. You women have better taste, why don't you help me pick something out for my elders too?"
Qin Xiang hesitated upon hearing Comrade Fu's words.
"This isn't a good idea."
"Comrade, please help me, my mother's birthday is coming up."
As Qin Xiang listened to the man's words, she noticed the expensive watch that he casually displayed on his wrist, and she pretended to be embarrassed.
After a while, Qin Xiang nodded somewhat reluctantly.
"good."
Qin Xiang picked out a bright red scarf and said.
"This bright red one is nice, it's so vibrant and auspicious, Auntie will definitely like it."
Comrade Fu glanced at Qin Xiang and praised her.
"Comrade, you have excellent taste! My mom will definitely love it. Thank you so much!"
Qin Xiang smiled and picked out a sky-blue Glory brand scarf. This color isn't easy to find these days, and this one looks very high-end.
"Comrade, let me treat you to dinner."
After Qin Xiang left the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Comrade Fu standing at the door.
Qin Xiang became somewhat wary. Why was this person following her so closely, and deliberately making excuses? Could it be that he liked her?
These past few days, Qin Xiang has been wearing old clothes given to her by Huang Ru, as well as clothes that Xiao Yi no longer wears.
He wasn't particularly handsome, but the clothes he wore were made of good material, and he certainly looked like a city dweller.
Qin Xiang was secretly pleased with herself and refused Comrade Fu's offer.
"I have other things to do, thank you."
"Comrade, my name is Fu Tou, what's your name?"
In the family compound.
When Jiang Yue heard a child calling her to answer the phone, she gave the child two candies and hurried to the service center.
On the other end of the phone was Xu Yi.
"Sister-in-law, you just called me."
"Um, Xu Yi, how are Uncle Li and Aunt Li doing?"
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, Xu Yi smiled and said.
“We have two comrades keeping watch there at all times, and so far we haven’t found anyone suspicious. We’ve also secretly sent people to investigate…” Xu Yi explained the situation. “The person we arrested was given twenty yuan to keep watch. We went to the agreed-upon location, but we didn’t find anyone else…”
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Jiang Yue still felt somewhat worried.
What did Uncle Li and Aunt Li do before?
Xu Yi replied after hearing Jiang Yue's words.
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li used to be university teachers..."
"A university professor?"
Just as I expected.
How did a university professor end up in Xiangcheng? How did his life turn out like this?
Jiang Yue snapped out of her thoughts.
"Could it be that they are their old enemies?"
"It's related to their son. I'll tell you the details next time you come over, sister-in-law."
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Jiang Yue understood.
She was probably right.
"I'm going to the county town tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue returned to her family compound.
From afar, Qin Xiang was seen carrying a bag of things, walking towards Commander Xiao's house.
It seems that Huang Ru played a significant role in Qin Xiang's work.
As expected, Qin Xiang wasn't ungrateful. Rather, she used to treat herself like a fool, only taking and never giving back.
Even now, in this situation, Qin Xiang is still trying to please him and make him her friend again.
Jiang Yue planned to ask Lu Yu about Qin Xiang's disappearance after he returned.
