Chapter 13 Expanding your network is for better performance
Qi Man blinked, and the pain felt by the human body was magnified a hundred times, as if it were torture.
On the surface, she still looks cute and soft.
"I got a few aunts to help me today. Otherwise, if Yicheng was in this state, people who didn't know would think I was going too far."
She is the best at pretending to be good.
In my previous life, I spent a lot of money to avoid the pain of dissection, and pretending to be a good boy was one of the ways I went about it.
"Well, we are all from the same village, it's a piece of cake."
"Aunts, please sit here for a while and wait for Yicheng to bring the money over so that everyone can be witnesses to avoid Yicheng being at a disadvantage."
Qi Man stopped the aunts who were about to leave and said with a smile.
"become!"
The woman who answered was named Shen Chunhua. She was relatively stout among the other village women, and her skin was tanned and yellowed, but she was a very righteous person.
The family had several sons and grandsons, but no girl. Seeing other families having several children in their lifetime, Chen Chunhua was very envious.
Although Chen Chunhua liked girls, she disliked Bai Jiao very much. She felt that the girl was too scheming, unlike Qi Man in front of her, who was obedient and gentle.
Although she just came back from abroad, she knows the rules and is pretty. Chen Chunhua likes her very much. Today, when she saw Qi Man being bullied, she felt distressed and naturally said a few more words to help her.
Most of the villagers tactfully dispersed, leaving only a few who were dragged by Qi Man to stay and drink water in the yard.
Qi Man turned around and went back to the room, and actually took out a few pieces of cloth, three pig's trotters, some osmanthus cakes, water chestnut cakes, and mung bean cakes from the space, and gave them to Chen Chunhua first.
"Aunt, look at me. I just came back from abroad. I thought it would be inconvenient to go to town in the countryside, so I bought a lot of pig's trotters. But the weather is so hot, and the pig's trotters can't be kept for a long time. My grandfather and I can't eat much either. So I'll just treat it as a return gift for helping me just now."
If you want to live a comfortable life, some good connections are essential, and they can solve a lot of problems.
Looking at such a big pig's trotter, Chen Chunhua was flattered and refused repeatedly.
"That's impossible. Pig's trotters are so expensive. We just said a few more words to you. How can we take your pig's trotters?"
Nowadays, life is tight and meat can only be tasted during festivals. It is good enough to have enough to eat on weekdays. Money is tight, so it is impossible to spend money to buy a pig's trotter for temporary satisfaction.
Buying a pig's trotter in the county town costs at least three or four yuan, which is very expensive.
Besides, the control is strict now, how can we afford to buy so many pig trotters at one time?
Unlike Qi Man, whose parents are heroes and martyrs, and now that she is a returnee, the management of her is naturally more lax.
The remaining two village women stared at the white pig's trotter in Qi Man's hand and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Although they were greedy, they couldn't take advantage of it, so they were satisfied just to look at it for a few more times.
Qi Man forced it on Chen Chunhua, frowned her delicate brows, and spoke softly.
"If you keep it for a little longer, it will go bad. It's better to let you take it back instead of wasting it. I have just arrived in the village and I don't know many rules. I will trouble you to help me in the future."
Having said that, he forcefully divided the other two pig's trotters between the other two village women.
The three women looked at each other and felt that the pig's trotters in their hands were a little hot.
Chen Chunhua really couldn't persuade Qi Man and had to accept the pig's trotter.
"If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help!"
This girl was well brought up by her grandmother and is very simple and innocent. I have to pay more attention to her in the future.
"And me!"
The other two women answered in unison.
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful; a man who receives someone's gifts should be grateful.
Since you have received benefits from others, you should naturally show your gratitude.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't happy. Such a big pig's trotter, if each person cut a small piece, it would be enough to eat for two days.
"And these snacks will go bad if left for too long. I can't eat much. I'll have to trouble you, aunts."
"And here are some pieces of cloth. I really don't like the color. If you like them, you can take them."
All the good things were stuffed in front of them.
The three were flattered.
Chen Chunhua looked at the silky cloth in her hands, the fragrant mung bean cake, and the pig's trotter, and her heart was deeply moved.
To be honest, her daughters-in-law and grandchildren were never so nice to her.
She had raised her own children with great difficulty and was now taking care of her grandchildren. She had been busy all her life, and apart from her husband, few people cared about her so much.
The same thing happened to the other two village women.
After the three of them received their things, they became more familiar with Qi Man and had a great time chatting with her.
Jiang Yichen was afraid that the villagers were still waiting at the door of Qi's house, waiting for him to go back and pay back the money. If he couldn't pay it today, he would probably be criticized and scolded by the villagers when he went to work tomorrow.
As a young man, he could not be defeated by those rough and uneducated village women.
In order to avoid any worries, Jiang Yichen returned to the Youth League Institute and took out a small box from the bottom of his box with ease.
There are quite a few scattered pieces of great unity inside.
After counting out the three hundred and seventy yuan, he felt a pang of pain when he saw that there were still a few scattered coins left in the box.
He had saved this money with great difficulty, just to buy a famous watch, and also to make preparations for returning to the city in case of emergency on the way.
A Shanghai brand all-steel watch costs one hundred and twenty yuan.
Now in the blink of an eye, it's all gone.
But if she didn't pay back the money, she would be beaten with that evil whip. She was still in pain all over, and the places where she was whipped were burning.
After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Yichen gritted his teeth, closed the iron lid, held the money, and walked quickly towards the Qi family.
When Jiang Yichen arrived at the Qi family, Qi Man was pulling out the rabbit. There were some melon seeds and snacks on the table, and he was chatting happily with several village women.
The village women were spitting everywhere. Jiang Yichen frowned, feeling disgusted. They were so sloppy.
Qi Man was happily eating melon seeds, holding the little rabbit in her arms, and listening to the gossip with great interest.
A bachelor in the village climbed into a widow's bed and was caught by another widow. The scene of their fight was shocking.
I listened with great interest.
I didn’t expect that such a small village could have so many interesting things.
Perhaps because she was distracted while listening, it took Qi Man a while before she realized Jiang Yichen was standing in the yard and said in surprise.
"Yicheng, you're here!"
Jiang Yichen took several steps back as if he had seen a ghost, keeping a safe distance from Qi Man.
He was afraid that Qi Man would say the softest words, take out the most evil whip, and whip him again, which would be a waste of time.
"Here's a total of three hundred and seventy dollars."
Qi Man took it and took a look. It was three hundred and seventy yuan, exactly.
"I knew Yicheng wasn't the kind of person who would go back on his word."
Jiang Yicheng: ...
