Chapter 43: Marrying a Wife with the Highest Bride Price
Seeing Gao Ruoyun looking at her with sympathy, Ruan Anan frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gao Ruoyun answered truthfully: "I think you are too kind and you will be bullied on the island."
Ruan Anan smiled but said nothing.
She is not kind.
It’s just that Li Jianguo did help her a lot in Hai City, and Sister Li treated her like her own sister.
Don’t look at the monk’s face, look at the Buddha’s face.
She had to hold her nose and give that stupid girl a chance.
Moreover, Zhu Yaoyao is just a brainless firecracker, and he can be controlled without any effort.
Gao Ruoyun became even more anxious when she saw her indifferent look.
Just at this moment, Xu Yancheng picked up another fish ball for Ruan Anan.
"Tsk!" Gao Ruoyun rolled her eyes, "If you're being nice to me for no reason, I'm either a traitor or a thief!"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.
Xu Yancheng: "..."
What's wrong with this lesbian?
From the moment we met, my nose wasn't a nose and my eyes weren't eyes.
Could it be that...
Looking at Gao Ruoyun's jealous look, an absurd idea popped up in Xu Yancheng's mind.
I heard that some girls don't like the opposite sex and only like the same sex.
They always stick to the person they like under the banner of "good friends" and destroy the feelings of the person they like.
Gao Ruoyun's attitude, words and actions are not completely consistent!
Thinking of this, Xu Yancheng suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Ruan Anan was the only one who enjoyed the meal.
She ate comfortably until she was full, then fell asleep as soon as she returned to the guesthouse.
Although I had the spiritual spring water to sustain me, my bones were almost broken after three days and two nights on the train.
This is a soft sleeper. If the original owner had to squeeze into a hard seat with people outside, his small body that would fall over easily with the wind would have fallen apart long ago.
Early the next morning, Ruan Anan took Xu Yancheng to the "Prime Minister's House".
In the yard, more than a dozen heavy camphor wood boxes were lined up, and next to them were many neatly bundled pots and pans.
Xu Yancheng looked at this scene and frowned unconsciously.
Did she buy so many things yesterday on that little tricycle?
When he was following her in the dark, he only saw her buying some small daily necessities?
With so many things, how exhausted must she be carrying them all back?
A wave of dull heartache welled up in his heart.
Seeing him staring at the things without saying anything, Ruan Anan's heart skipped a beat and she chuckled twice. "Well, um... I bought these yesterday. I thought the island was short of everything, so I bought a few extra. Don't worry, I spent my own money."
She didn't want to be accused of taking advantage of someone just after they started living together.
"That's not what I meant!" Xu Yancheng's tone was unusually flustered when he heard it. "It's me...it's my fault for not considering it carefully. I should have arranged it for you in advance."
He felt a little annoyed and felt that he had failed in his duty.
The driver soldier beside him couldn't help but mutter, "What's the matter? The commander clearly prepared a lot of things long ago, and the warehouse is almost full..."
Ruan Anan had sharp ears, and her face immediately turned cold when she heard this: "Little comrade, I don't like what you said. When he got married, I didn't ask for 'three turns and one ring' and 'forty-eight legs'. Isn't that reasonable?"
She's not blind, so how could she not see the subtle hostility that the soldier had shown towards her these past two days?
She said this to embarrass the soldier and also to remind Xu Yancheng.
The soldier was choked by her words, and turned away with his neck stiff, his voice even lowered: "How do you know our captain is not prepared? He..."
Ruan Anan raised her eyebrows, her curiosity was really piqued.
"Huh? From what you said, your captain really has prepared three turns, one ring and forty-eight legs?"
She picked up the kettle, slowly drank a sip of the sweet spiritual spring water, and pondered in her heart.
It has been less than ten days since she reconnected with Xu Yancheng.
These days, furniture has to be made by a carpenter.
Sewing machines, bicycles, watches, radios and other "three turns and one sound" items not only required tickets but also relied on luck.
Even in Haishi, it would take ten days to prepare everything!
He is on the island, where does he get the time and access?
Xu Yancheng looked at the mischievous look in her eyes, as if she was enjoying a good show, but he didn't get angry.
"Well, three turns and one ring, and... seventy-two legs. I'm ready."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Ruan Anan spat out all the water. "Seven...seventy-two legs?!"
Her mind was racing.
Tables, chairs, benches, a large bed, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers...
How many pieces of furniture would it take to make up the seventy-two legs?
She thought of the precious wood stored in the space that was intended for making furniture, and suddenly felt a little pain in her heart.
If Xu Yancheng had told her earlier that he had made such complete preparations, why would she bother stockpiling wood?
Seeing Ruan Anan speechless with surprise, Xu Yancheng explained calmly, "I was seriously injured half a year ago and recuperated in Min City for quite a while. At that time, I thought I had some free time anyway, so I slowly bought everything."
He did not mention his feelings when he bought the house, he just stated the facts.
"Half a year... ago?" Ruan Anan chewed on this time point and sneered in his heart.
Half a year ago, she had already sent a telegram to Xu Yancheng to cancel the engagement.
It turns out those things were not prepared for her at all!
The little ripple in my heart calmed down instantly.
It doesn’t matter, no matter who it was prepared for, as long as it can be used now.
We are just living together, why bother with all these details?
Just make it look good.
Xu Yancheng didn't know that his ambiguous words had caused Ruan Anan to misunderstand.
He raised his wrist to check the time. "The moving crew will be here soon and will be responsible for loading the truck. The ship leaves tomorrow morning. Now, how about I take you to buy some seasickness medicine?"
"Okay!" Ruan Anan agreed readily. She also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Xu Yancheng alone about the house.
There will be a lot of people around later, and it will be difficult to be alone when we return to the guesthouse, so going to buy medicine is a perfect excuse.
She swiftly put on her army green shoulder bag, and when she thought of the system prompt yesterday, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
If Xu Yancheng can prove that this "Cheng's House" is really his family's ancestral property.
Can she now dig up the treasure buried underground with good reason?
Even if he can't prove it, the house will be confiscated by the government...
Hehe, the treasure will still slip into her pocket without anyone noticing.
In short, sooner or later, the treasure under the ground will belong to Ruan!
The only small difference is that if the house really belongs to the Xu family, you have to say hello to him before digging for treasure.
If not... then don't blame her for making a fortune in silence!
As the two walked out of the main gate of the Prime Minister's residence side by side, each with their own thoughts, Xu Yancheng suddenly said, "An An, thank you."
"Huh?" Ruan Anan didn't know why he suddenly thanked her, and looked at him sideways with a puzzled look on her face.
"This Prime Minister's house should be the ancestral property of my maternal grandfather."
Xu Yancheng's eyes swept across the ancient door lintel, with a hint of reminiscence, "My mother left me a land deed before she left. Unfortunately, I have never found it. So..."
He was unusually embarrassed and didn't say anything else.
Ruan Anan didn't expect him to be so direct, but she was more confused.
"Such a big house is standing here, and you can't find it?"
Xu Yancheng touched the back of his head awkwardly, his usually resolute face now showing a rare hint of naiveté.
"I mistook the character '姫' for '姬'!"
Although she felt disgusted in her heart, in order to maintain her image as a 'virtuous wife', Ruan Anan pretended to suddenly understand and laughed dryly.
"So I spent a year renting your ancestral home? What a coincidence!"
After saying that, in order to cover herself up, Ruan Anan raised her hand and patted Xu Yancheng's shoulder to change the subject.
"But Commander Xu, although revolutionary work is important, we can't slack off on our cultural studies!"
Xu Yancheng was just about to explain that he actually had a good education, but was just temporarily blind.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ruan Anan, who had already got a clear answer.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Let's meet at the entrance of the guesthouse at 9:30 tonight."
After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, Ruan Anan turned and left.
Why did you leave?
Didn’t you say you were going to buy motion sickness medicine?
Looking at her back as she ran away, Xu Yancheng sighed.
There was a doting in his eyes that he himself had not noticed.
