"Yulian, why are you running in such a hurry?" Jiang Xun slowed down his bike.
Seeing that it was him, Zhang Yulian's tears immediately fell again, she felt wronged and couldn't speak: "I..."
Seeing his expression, Jiang Xun knew something must have happened. She got out of the car and stopped beside her: "What's wrong? Don't worry, just say whatever you want to say. What happened? Did someone bully you?"
Zhang Yulian shook her head and cried even harder: "Brother, no one bullied me. I got into trouble myself."
"Don't worry, tell me what trouble you are in and see if I can help you solve it." Jiang Xun asked.
Zhang Yulian cried and said, "My aunt asked me to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat. As soon as I walked in, I accidentally bumped into someone. The person fell to the ground with a bunch of things in his arms. He wanted me to pay for it."
"How much money do you want to pay?" Jiang Xun asked.
"He said it was more than 30 yuan, and I don't know how much it is. More than 30 yuan is equivalent to my income from working in the village for half a year. Brother, I really have no money! I am anxious to go back and ask my sister-in-law for money!"
Jiang Xun saw Zhang Yulian was frightened and comforted her: "Don't worry if it's damaged. We'll pay for other people's things. I don't have that much money. Wait here for me. I'll ask your sister-in-law for money when I get home."
...
...
"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother!" Zhang Yulian hurriedly thanked him and reminded him, "Brother, can you please not let my aunt know about this, and don't let my mother know! I owe you money, and when I find a job, I will definitely pay you back, please believe me!"
"Don't worry, just wait here and I'll be back soon."
Jiang Xun came back on his bike and saw Ye Li making notes in the account book at the table again.
"How's your income lately?" he asked.
Ye Li smiled at him and shook the account book in his hand: "It's a lot. After this year, we can become a millionaire!"
Jiang Xun was extremely surprised. He really didn't expect that in just one year, Ye Li earned more than ten times his income.
"My wife is really awesome! But you are pregnant now and you can't sit at the table all the time. You can't make enough money, but your health is more important!" Jiang Xun took the account book from her hand, opened the drawer and put it in.
Ye Li smiled and slowly stood up: "I'm fine. I've had less morning sickness recently and I feel a little better! I still have to go to Qingshan Village in two days!"
"I'm really worried about you. Let's talk about going to Qingshan Village later."
"That won't work. We agreed before that you can't stop me from working."
"I won't stop you from working, but you have to take care of your body. You've been vomiting and unable to eat every day these days. Look how much weight you've lost. If you don't get enough rest, I'm really worried that you won't be able to handle it!"
"Oh, you've said these words eight hundred times! My ears are almost covered with calluses!" Ye Li stretched and opened her arms to Jiang Xun, "Hug me!"
"Okay!" Jiang Xun gently put his arms around her waist, afraid of touching her belly.
The two hugged each other for a minute, and then Jiang Xun carried her away.
"Why don't you hug me so soon? You used to hug me every day and you didn't want to let go..." Ye Li looked at him with resentment, "People say pregnant women will become ugly. Do you dislike my ugliness and don't want to hug me?"
Jiang Xun smiled and raised his hand to touch her head: "Nonsense, what are you thinking about all day? I have something to discuss with you."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Jiang Xun told her about his encounter with Zhang Yulian on the road just now: "I don't have enough money in my pocket for thirty yuan, can I get some from home?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "My money is your money! If you need it, just take it. You don't need to discuss it with me. As for whether she returns it or not, it doesn't matter to us. We don't need that little money now. She and my aunt have had a hard time. Since they came here, they have been very well behaved. If she can pay it back in the future, we will take it. If not, we will just give it to her as a gift."
"Li Li, you are so kind." Jiang Xun couldn't help but admire, "You are the best woman I have ever met!"
"You're flattering me to the heavens! Take the money and leave, but don't tell her what I just said to you."
"Don't worry, I understand what you mean."
When Jiang Xun came out of the house, he found Zhang Yulian was already waiting for him.
In the end, she was still worried and followed him, but she didn't dare to go home.
"The money has been received, and your sister-in-law has agreed. Let me go with you and return the money to her," Jiang Xun said.
"Thank you, brother." Zhang Yulian nodded quickly.
When the two returned to the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Yulian pointed at Meng Guanglei and said, "Pay him back the money."
"Meng Guanglei!"
"Jiang Xun! Why is it you? Who is this person to you?"
"This is my cousin. I heard that she broke all your things, so I'm here to pay you back! You tell me an amount and I'll pay you back!" Jiang Xun took out a few big unity bills from his pocket.
"We are colleagues. If I had known that this was your cousin, I wouldn't have asked for money!" Meng Guanglei said with a smile.
"One by one." Jiang Xun handed over four cards directly, "Is that enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough!" Meng Guanglei gave him another eight yuan in change. "The matter is settled now! We'll leave first!"
"good."
Zhang Yulian saw the dirty snacks on the ground and slowly squatted down to pick them up.
"Don't eat if it's dirty." Jiang Xun said, then turned to the clerk and said, "Please clean this place. Sorry for the trouble!"
"Don't!" Zhang Yulian said hurriedly, "These are all good things! In your eyes, these things are dirty, but in the eyes of us rural people, these things are just a little dusty and can be eaten again. I have never tasted these things. Since I have already paid for them, I want to take them back and try them."
"Oh, silly girl!" Aunt Liang advised, "Don't pick up things from the ground! Cakes and biscuits are so dirty that they can't be eaten! There's everything on the ground. Look at the manure at the entrance of the alley. Don't people step on it every day? All the dirt has been stepped on here! Don't eat it!"
Jiang Xun didn't say anything. He walked to the counter and took out the eight yuan: "Please weigh two kilograms of cake, two bags of peach cakes, and two kilograms of pork belly for me."
After buying the things, he gave the cake and peach cake to Zhang Yulian: "Take these back and eat them. The things on the ground are inedible."
Zhang Yulian looked at Jiang Xun shyly and gratefully, and silently accepted the gift.
"I've already bought the meat, let's go home!"
"good."
On the way back, Zhang Yulian looked at Jiang Xun furtively several times.
She felt that Jiang Xun was a special man, rich, generous, and very considerate.
She had never seen such a good man before, and she didn't know how many times better he was than her gambling father!
Sister Ye Li is so lucky to have such a good man!
Jiang Xun noticed that Zhang Yulian had been peeking at him, so he turned his head and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
When she met his gaze, Zhang Yulian's face turned red for some reason.
"Nothing..." She asked in a low voice, "Brother, I came from the countryside. Am I particularly ignorant and rustic? Was it embarrassing today? Did anyone dislike me?"
Jiang Xun thought she was blushing because she felt embarrassed about what happened just now.
"It's not shameful to come from the countryside! This country is so big that some people live in cities and some live in the countryside. This is normal! You are not ashamed. You are also in the spirit of diligence and thrift! Yulian, you are doing well. Don't feel inferior because of this!"
"Really?"
"Um."
"Then, brother, will you look down on me?" Zhang Yulian asked again.
Jiang Xun smiled gently: "Why do you have such an idea? I just praised you to your sister-in-law, saying that you are very capable! It's been very hard to take care of patients in the hospital all this time!"
Zhang Yulian's face turned even redder: "This is what I should do."
…
Meng Guanglei followed his uncle back home. Seeing that it was almost noon, he directly suggested: "Uncle, how about I treat you to a meal today!"
My uncle laughed and said, "Sure, no problem! I have someone special coming today, so when she comes, we'll go eat together!"
"Who is it? So mysterious?" Meng Guanglei asked.
