Chapter 40: To pursue a wife, you must be willing to spend money and effort
Zhu Yaoyao was so angry that his face turned the color of liver. "Xu Yancheng! How could you...how could you do this to me?"
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Xu Yancheng simply asked back, and an invisible sense of oppression spread.
Zhu Yaoyao finally understood everything.
Xu Yancheng's soul had long been hooked by Ruan Anan's vixen face!
No matter how much she said, it was all in vain.
Okay, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
They are all on Nansha Island, she doesn't believe that she can't catch Ruan Anan's weakness!
"Ruan Anan, just wait and see!"
Zhu Yaoyao gritted his teeth, uttered some harsh words, and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Ruan Anan stood in front of her and took out the IOU signed on the train from her small cloth bag.
"Where's the money? Miss Zhu, are you planning to default on your debt?"
"Hmph! Take it! You look so poor!"
Zhu Yaoyao took out a roll of banknotes from his pocket and threw it to the ground without even looking at it.
"Okay! Great!" Ruan Anan smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, and she squatted down to pick up the money without hesitation.
"The money and goods have been paid, and we owe nothing to each other! Take care, I won't see you off!"
"You short-sighted country girl! You've never seen money in your life!"
Zhu Yaoyao looked at Ruan Anan squatting down to pick up the money without hesitation, and the anger in his heart finally subsided a little.
Unfortunately, she didn't have eyes at the back of her head, so she didn't see Xu Yancheng's face behind her suddenly become as gloomy as water.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot?" Ruan Anan looked up and called out to Xu Yancheng, urging him in her voice, "Hurry up and squat down to pick up the money!"
The world is big, but picking up money is the biggest thing!
Going against money? That's something only a fool would do!
"An An!" Xu Yancheng felt so distressed that his heart ached.
He knelt on one knee in front of her, his voice low and filled with suppressed anger, "You don't have to suffer this injustice! She treated you so badly! I..."
"Ah?" Ruan Anan was a little confused by his protective look and blinked, "No, Xu Yancheng, do you think she threw the money on the ground...was an insult to me?"
"Isn't it?!" Xu Yancheng frowned.
Ruan Anan slapped his hand that was pinching her shoulder away in disgust, "Of course not. Only a fool would think that having money thrown at them is a blow to one's self-esteem and an insult."
She picked up a banknote and flicked the dust off it. "Xu Yancheng, you've never been hungry, so you don't know what it feels like. Compared to being poor, this little bit of grievance is nothing. It will be gone in the wind!"
Ruan Anan's words hit Xu Yancheng's heart like a heavy hammer, and a bitter feeling instantly surged up his throat.
He stopped talking, but just squatted down silently and picked up the scattered banknotes carefully one by one with Ruan Anan.
"One thousand six hundred and eight, one thousand six hundred and nine... one thousand seventeen! All done!"
Ruan Anan spat on her thumb, counted them carefully, and smiled, "Should I say it, Xu Yancheng? For chicks like this who are generous with their money, I don't mind you picking up a few more!"
"ah?!"
The tenderness and heartache in Xu Yancheng's eyes were instantly frightened away, and he waved his hands in panic, "An An! Don't say that! I have nothing to do with her! I..."
"What are you panicking about?"
Seeing that he was so anxious that he was almost sweating, Ruan Anan thought to herself that he was right.
A taciturn person like Xu Yancheng should like the gentle and gentle type like Su Qingyue.
Zhu Yaoyao, an arrogant and domineering peacock, is indeed not the type he would like.
She shrugged indifferently and stuffed the thick stack of money back into Xu Yancheng's hand.
"I'm going out for a big purchase, and it's inconvenient to carry so much money. Please keep it for me first, and I'll come back to get it from you when I come back in the evening."
This is a huge sum of money, we have to keep it safe!
"I'll go with you!"
My sister-in-law said that if you want to pursue a wife, you have to be willing to spend money and effort!
The money has just been given, now is a good time to contribute!
Ruan Anan shook her head: "Where I'm going... it's inconvenient for you to follow me!"
"An An!"
Xu Yancheng's heart skipped a beat. He glanced around warily and lowered his voice, "You...you're not going to the black market, are you?"
The only place where he could buy things but it was inconvenient for him to follow him was the black market!
"Shh." Ruan Anan made a hushed gesture, her eyes carrying a warning, "Just know it in your heart! If I'm not back in an hour, come find me again."
Xu Yancheng was a little worried.
"But that place is full of mixed people. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
"You don't believe me?" Ruan Anan's eyes showed disappointment.
Xu Yancheng moved his lips and said, "Forget it."
What else can you do with your own wife? Pamper her!
"Okay, just one hour." He nodded resignedly, his tone indulgent.
"Nice! See you later!"
Ruan Anan achieved her goal and ran downstairs without looking back, like a bird out of a cage.
Xu Yancheng was alone, holding the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, smiling bitterly and shaking his head.
This little ancestor...
The power structures in Min City are so complex and intertwined that they are far beyond the reach of Hai City.
How could he really let her take risks alone?
Thinking of this, Xu Yancheng quickly turned around and went back to his room to put the money away. His tall figure soon disappeared at the stairs.
On the train, Ruan Anan exchanged a few White Rabbit candies with the conductor on this line for key information.
There is a fairly large black market near the Min City Railway Station.
But her real destination was not the black market.
She needed a temporary small warehouse to stock up on things.
Experience told her that in a place where all kinds of people gather, there are bound to be well-informed "capable people" like Liu Pozi of Haishi.
Sure enough, after handing out a few White Rabbit candies, they soon found out that there was a woman named Wang Ma at the Min City Railway Station.
Ruan Anan found Wang Ma and told her that she wanted to rent a small warehouse for a short period of time.
When Aunt Wang heard her explain her purpose, she smiled and said, "Miss, you've found the right person! What a coincidence! I actually have a small courtyard that can be rented short-term. It's a quiet place and safe! Just this price..."
"That's how much I earn in a day!" She stretched out two fingers and shook them.
Two dollars a day? That’s sixty dollars a month!
Ruan Anan's heart skipped a beat.
Wang Ma is much more cruel and ruthless than Liu Pozi from Hai City!
These days, an average worker may not be able to save 60 yuan after working for two or three months.
But she only rented it for three days, so she had to accept the high price.
"Okay, Auntie is straightforward!" Ruan Anan kept smiling and took out ten yuan from her small bag swiftly.
"Could you please take me there? My husband is the commander of the Nansha Island garrison regiment. We're going with the army this time, so we need to bring some belongings with us. We have quite a bit of stuff. Auntie, you have a lot of connections, could you lend us a cart? I'll thank you later!"
"Captain...Captain?!" Aunt Wang held the ten yuan in her hand, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
The reason why Ruan Anan said this was to intimidate Wang Ma.
This three-story courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles near the train station is very impressive.
It is obvious at first glance that this is not something that ordinary people like Wang Ma who make a living by living in the same room can afford.
There were many wealthy businessmen in Min City in the early years. However, there have been constant movements in recent years, and some wealthy families with little financial resources and few people have been "asked" to move out.
Wang Ma was just taking advantage of an opportunity, "borrowing" the house temporarily or looking after it, and then secretly renting it out to make some extra money.
If this gets out or the landlord knows about it.
The labels of "speculation and profiteering" and "misappropriation of public assets" were put on him.
This is no joke!
After the intimidation, Ruan Anan began to comfort.
"Auntie, please put your mind at ease!"
"It'll only take us three days! We'll unload the stuff, load it on the ship, and leave! We'll do it without anyone noticing, and we won't cause you any trouble at all!"
Mother Wang looked at Ruan Anan's determined eyes, and then weighed the "huge sum of money" in her hand and the identity of the man.
"Okay! You're a smart girl! Come with me!"
She led Ruan Anan to the yard at the deepest part of the alley.
Pushing open the heavy, mottled vermilion lacquer door, an old and slightly damp smell hit me in the face.
The moment Ruan Anan stepped into the yard——
[Ding! A hidden treasure has been detected in the courtyard!]
[Ding! Treasures detected in the underground secret room!]
[Ding! Space bracelet detected!]
