Sister Liang and Sister Zhang exchanged a glance.
"The little girl seems to get along well with us. Since you want it anyway, we'll give you a discount."
The two helped her recount the quantity.
"I'll charge you one yuan for these wooden benches, four yuan for these bottles and jars, and the book you just bought, so it'll be five yuan and eighty cents in total."
Jiang Jinxiu had no objection. She could tell that the two older women had already undercharged her, since the items were all there.
"Sisters, I'll leave the things here for now. Please keep an eye on them for me. I'm going out to borrow some money from a friend now, and I'll come back later." Jiang Jinxiu was planning to borrow a cart to haul the things away or hire some temporary workers to help her move them, as she couldn't carry so much by herself.
First, she moved the items to the abandoned house where she usually stored her grain, and then she put the items into her spatial storage.
"Okay, go ahead. We happen to have some time right now and can help you wipe the dust and dirt out of these jars."
As he spoke, he began to brush the dirt off the jar for her.
Jiang Jinxiu truly felt that this trip was worthwhile.
After thanking her two older sisters, she left.
But as soon as he reached the corner, he was stopped by someone.
Liu Jianjun.
Jiang Jinxiu hadn't seen him at the scrap yard and thought he had left, but she never expected him to be waiting for her here.
"A good dog doesn't block the way, move aside."
"Jiang Jinxiu, how can you talk like that? You've changed so much in the past few months, I don't even recognize you anymore. Let's go back to the way things were, okay? I promise, I'll treat you well from now on, and I'll only love you." As he spoke, Liu Jianjun reached out to take Jiang Jinxiu's hand.
Jiang Jinxiu immediately took a step back to avoid him.
How dare Liu Jianjun be so shameless? He's having an affair with He Mei and then with Song Wan'er, making it public knowledge, and now he's actually acting all lovey-dovey in front of her.
Are you out of your mind?
What does he think he is?
Is it a hot commodity?
Should all women revolve around him?
Jiang Jinxiu felt like vomiting when she heard what he said.
She looked around and found no one.
At this moment, she had no more scruples.
Her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at him.
"Liu Jianjun, what kind of dream are you having? Are you sick in the head? How can you say such a thing? Why is it just you this time? Where is your precious Song Wan'er? Or is it because Song Wan'er isn't around that you can say whatever you want without restraint?"
Oh, by the way, you're married. Does He Mei know about what you just said?
Jiang Jinxiu looked at him with a mocking expression.
"Marrying He Mei was just a last resort. You know I don't love He Mei. I love you now. You have to believe me. When we get back, I'll divorce He Mei, and you'll divorce Gu Xichen too. We'll go back to the city together, and we'll be together, okay? Didn't you say before that you liked me?"
Liu Jianjun has now humbled himself and is pleading.
He knew that Jiang Jinxiu would become incredibly wealthy in the future.
With her around, he would never have to worry about not having money or food.
Moreover, she now has the support of her parents, so she already has much more than him.
He was young and ignorant before, but his recent experiences have made him see things clearly.
He believed everything that happened in his dream. He only hoped that everything would proceed in the same direction as in that dream.
As long as she's with him, won't she be able to be manipulated by him at will? Why would she be afraid of not being able to avenge that day?
He thought that by lowering his gaze, Jiang Jinxiu wouldn't be able to see the expression in his eyes.
Jiang Jinxiu was rolling her eyes so hard they were practically pointing to the sky.
Should we call him naive, or should we call her foolish?
They must be treating her like an idiot.
That's right, that's how it always was. As long as he said a few nice words to her, she would happily become his little shadow again.
But at this moment...
"Liu Jianjun, are you talking nonsense? In the end, your real goal is to get back to the city, isn't it?"
Jiang Jinxiu scoffed.
In their past lives, they felt that life in the countryside was too hard and tiring, and they wanted to return to the city.
Their parents couldn't get a spot to return to the city, so they came to her and asked her to ask her father for help.
In the end, her father helped them all and brought them back to the city, but this also gave their opponents a handle to use against them.
Jiang Jinxiu felt that she had let her parents down too much.
"Liu Jianjun, forget about going back to the city. You should think about how you're going to live your life from now on. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll make sure you live comfortably."
Jiang Jinxiu spoke with a hidden meaning.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianjun's expression instantly changed.
He grabbed Jiang Jinxiu's shoulders with both hands, his face fierce: "Was it you last time? Why? Why did you do this? We grew up together, we don't have any deep-seated hatred. Why did you treat us like this?"
He was very excited and eager for Jiang Jinxiu to give him an answer.
They want her bracelet, but they haven't done anything about it yet.
At most, when they were in Beijing, she confessed her feelings to him, but he didn't accept her.
He couldn't understand how the three of them had ended up like this.
Jiang Jinxiu was caught red-handed when she wasn't paying attention.
My shoulders are sore from his grip.
She broke free from his hands and kicked Liu Jianjun into the corner.
Liu Jianjun got up and reached out to hit Jiang Jinxiu, but Jiang Jinxiu kicked him away again.
She already knew some basic legwork, but after being baptized by the Spirit Spring Book, her strength increased significantly.
At this moment, Liu Jianjun was no match for her at all.
