Chapter 35: It’s time to get back the lost ground



"I have never had anything to do with you. I am upright and honest. If you try to throw dirty water on me again, I will not be polite!"

When Gu Chengze heard Zheng Guoqiang's words, a storm was brewing in his eyes, and he was already thinking about how to vent his anger on his target.

After Lin Jingshu spoke, the sky suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.

Look, my wife said that Zheng Guoqiang’s feet are not as good as his, hehe (*^▽^*).

Lin Jingshu didn't know that the man next to her was full of joy in his eyes, and he turned the gun to Lin Qiaoqiao.

"The relationship between our two families is not that good, and I don't have time to hang around in front of you. Don't try to make yourself feel important in front of me. Take care of your own man."

She chattered away, stunning the onlookers around her.

Unexpectedly, the little girl looked so weak, but she spoke like a machine gun.

Those who were scolded by him didn't dare to retort. He was even more powerful than the aunties at the entrance of the village in their brigade.

It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover.

By the way, isn't she worried about her image in front of her partner?

The system was secretly delighted. As long as Gu Chengze dared to say "no", it would turn around and present the host with a brand new "list of handsome men in the harem".

Looking at Gu Chengze again, he was standing behind Lin Jingshu with a stern expression and no warmth in his eyes. His tall body was slightly closer to her, as if to support her.

Lin Qiaoqiao's face turned pale and blue, as if someone was strangling her.

Seeing everyone's disgusted eyes, I knew I had to do something and couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

"Jingshu, you misunderstood. Your brother-in-law is doing this for our own good. You..."

"Stop it, I don't have time for you to show off your sisterly love."

Zheng Guoqiang retorted: "How can you talk like that? Don't bully Qiaoqiao because she's good-natured. I think you're just jealous."

He glanced at Gu Chengze with contempt. Last time, he was intimidated by his clothes and thought he was a high-ranking official. But after all, he found out that he was just a poor peasant.

Gu Chengze glared at him.

Zheng Guoqiang felt a chill down his spine when he was stared at by him. His mind went blank for a moment, and then he realized that he was actually frightened by his look.

If they weren't in a hurry to buy things, they would definitely give him a hard time and get back at him the next time they meet.

There were people waiting in line in front of every counter in the supply and marketing cooperative, more or less.

There were even more daily necessities areas. Lin Jingshu and Gu Chengze squeezed in and found that everyone was surrounding the cloth selling area to buy a batch of defective cloth.

As for places that buy and sell bicycles, radios and watches, few people are interested.

"Jingshu, would you like to pick out a watch to wear?"

Gu Chengze took out a handful of bills from his pocket. Lin Jingshu took a closer look and was surprised to see all kinds of colorful bills.

"This is what my mother gave me. I came here in a hurry and didn't bring much with me."

Gu Chengze felt embarrassed. He couldn't bring himself to say that he still needed support from his family at such an old age.

Lin Jingshu glanced at the watches on the counter. They were all of similar styles, but she didn't see any that she really liked.

Unfortunately, she had a ready-made watch in her space, but she didn't dare to take it out and wear it.

"Hello, comrade. How much is this watch?"

In the past, if a salesperson encountered a customer who only asked questions but did not buy, he would definitely give the cold shoulder.

The two people in front of me are dressed unusually, so they should be able to buy it, right?

The salesman perked up and replied, "You have a good eye. This is a Plum brand watch our supply and marketing cooperative just imported from Shanghai. The price is 150 yuan, plus five watch tickets."

Seeing that they didn't say anything, the salesperson took the initiative to introduce other products.

After talking for a while, my mouth is dry.

"No favorite?"

Lin Jingshu shook her head. "I'm not used to wearing a watch. Let's look at something else."

Gu Chengze nodded. He had no objection. It seemed that Jingshu didn’t like anyone.

On the way back, we passed by Guangshi. As one of the important ports in China, Guangshi not only has supply and marketing cooperatives, but also overseas Chinese shops. There must be more styles than here, and she will definitely find what she likes.

Lin Jingshu found an excuse to decline, saying that she didn't need the watch for the time being.

They also had to go to the island, and the journey there and back was too long. Wearing a watch would be conspicuous, so they decided to buy one when they got there.

They didn't buy the three wheels and one ring that are essential for a wedding, as they were too cumbersome to carry on the road.

Gu Chengze thought that whatever others had, his wife should have too, so he arranged everything for them when they arrived at the family compound.

They came this time mainly to buy some candies and snacks to entertain guests.

Lin Jingshu already has the clothes she will wear on her wedding day.

It was a gift from my sister-in-law Zhong Peining, whom I have never met. The dress I am wearing was also made by her.

The day Gu Jingqi came and gave her the small bag in his arms, she didn't expect it to be such a big gift.

The dress is obviously made with care, the fabric is soft, the style is form-fitting, and it uses a drawstring waist design, which can be altered if it doesn't fit.

Even though they had never met, Lin Jingshu had a better impression of her sister-in-law.

At this time, Lin Qiaoqiao and Zheng Guoqiang came over.

Lin Qiaoqiao noticed her empty wrist and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Jingshu, do you want to buy a watch? Let me tell you, the Shanghai watch that Brother Guoqiang bought me last time has beautiful colors and fine workmanship."

As he spoke, he casually raised his hand to reveal the watch on his wrist.

Lin Jingshu: I really suspect that she is a follower. Why does she always keep pestering her?

"oh."

Lin Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth and glanced at Gu Chengze who was standing behind her.

"Could it be that your partner is reluctant to buy you one? If it were you, I would say you should have agreed to Director Cai. At least you would have a stable life. Even if you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you would have no worries."

When they got married in their previous life, Gu Chengze never bought himself a three-turn and one-ring.

The days of their marriage proved more and more that Gu Chengze was just an ordinary soldier.

As an ordinary person, who can afford to buy three turns and one ring?

Gu Chengze probably couldn't afford this watch. He fell in love with Lin Jingshu probably because he was too poor to find a wife and had to come to their small mountain village.

They were still showing their affection in front of me, and I was almost deceived by them.

It’s time to get back the ground we lost just now.

Zheng Guoqiang thought so too. This man was indeed as poor as Lin Qiaoqiao said. He couldn't even afford a watch.

"I'm not saying you're too stingy. If a man can't even afford a watch, what kind of man is he? Don't you have four pockets? You can't be so poor as to not have even a hundred yuan, right?"

Salesperson: "Our watch is worth 150 yuan. Please tell me the full price. Thank you."

Zheng Guoqiang ignored her and said, "Learn from me, Qiaoqiao, as long as you like it, we will buy it back. Even if it is the moon in the sky, I will pick it down for you."

Lin Qiaoqiao smiled shyly, "Brother Guoqiang, you are so nice."

"Jingshu, we women should be kinder to ourselves. We should spend the money we need to spend instead of constantly saving money. The money you save will be spent by others, right?"

It's you, big-headed ghost.

She must have been around men all day, put a hat on her head, and washed her underwear with a cold face.

System: [Host, Lin Qiaoqiao's watch is second-hand! ]
