Before long, Gu Xinyi and the others returned, each carrying a lot of things in large and small bags.
To Chen Shuning's surprise, Yang Wanqiu also returned with everyone, but Feng Baoguo was nowhere to be seen, presumably he had stayed behind to load and weigh the truck.
After all, the other two are men, and the truck driver is also a man. Even if Yang Wanqiu has coveted or still covets Gao Hongyuan, she still needs to be mindful of her image!
Perhaps because Chen Shuning exposed her past, Yang Wanqiu's pitiful innocent persona is now completely untenable, so she has given up and stopped trying to make herself suffer.
I bought quite a lot of things this time. I can't see what's in the bamboo basket, but the cotton and fabric I'm carrying must have cost a lot of money.
Because she hadn't expected them to agree to deliver the goods, Yang Wanqiu had hired a cart to come, so she didn't greet anyone else when she got back and went straight to Old Jiang's oxcart.
Gu Xinyi and Wang Chunni, carrying large and small bags, both wanted to climb onto Old Yang's oxcart where Chen Shuning was.
In this way, Old Li's side was easily left with only Tian Mi and Zhang Tingting, even though they had quite a lot of things too.
In the end, Old Yang felt sorry for his old ox and had Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi deliver the things to Old Li's oxcart before he set off, cracking his whip with satisfaction.
Old Li was so angry that he pointed at him and cursed him for being petty, but Old Yang didn't care at all. He walked ahead, humming a little tune in a good mood, followed by Old Jiang and Old Li's oxcarts.
Although the wind and snow were getting heavier, it couldn't dampen Wang Chunni's enthusiasm for chatting. As soon as she got in the car, she started chatting with Chen Shuning.
"Hey, Shuning, what's wrong with Yang Wanqiu? When she first came here, she was so stingy that she had to calculate every penny she spent. But look at her today, I don't know what's wrong with her. She just bought a lot of things, including fifty catties of flour."
She also bought cotton, fabric, and oh yes, a lot of steamed cakes and cookies. Do you think she was really upset about Shen Wenge's affair and spent all her money like that?
Chen Shuning had read the original novel and knew that Yang Wanqiu had some money, at least six or seven thousand yuan.
In the original book, Yang Wanqiu kept the money well hidden, and she, as she initially portrayed herself, always presented herself as a pitiful, innocent girl with no parents and no money.
It wasn't until she and Gao Hongyuan both passed the college entrance exam and returned to the city that she used the money to buy the courtyard house where her family used to live in Beijing.
That was a proper courtyard house, which later became a mansion worth hundreds of millions.
After the reform and opening up, she started her own business with the wealth left by her grandfather, and later she and Gao Hongyuan were ranked among the top ten richest people in the country.
However, due to Chen Shuning's misfortune in this life, Yang Wanqiu's startup fund is definitely gone. Now, even the money she has been trying to hide has been exposed ahead of time, and her image as a helpless and innocent girl can no longer be maintained.
Moreover, Gao Hongyuan, who had always taken care of her, was no longer by her side for the rest of her life.
Therefore, Yang Wanqiu no longer needed to hoard so much money and suffer, and spending money like today was perfectly normal.
Chen Shuning wasn't surprised, so after hearing Wang Chunni's words, he gave a mocking smile: "She won't be provoked by a man. She just can't keep up the act of being pitiful anymore, so there's no need for her to wrong herself anymore."
Don't worry, she's got plenty of money. These little things won't even take all she has.
Yang Wanqiu initially complained about being poor to Gu Xinyi, who was a wealthy young lady in her previous life.
Because of her amazing ability to use her spatial ability, she has never changed her habit of spending money extravagantly. Yang Wanqiu took advantage of her quite a bit in the beginning.
Now that she heard that the other party was not short of money at all, she said somewhat angrily, "I thought she was quite pitiful at first, since she ate at my place for so long without asking for her food rations."
Looking at it now, it seems they're actually richer than me.
"I've also heard from the aunties in the village that Yang Wanqiu is actually quite wealthy, with a fortune of ten or twenty thousand yuan. Now, many people in the village are eyeing her and want to marry her!"
I heard that Shen Wenge's family is filled with regret. I saw Shen Wenge and his mother go to see Yang Wanqiu last night, but Yang Wanqiu wouldn't even let them in the door.
Xu Laidi is steady and capable. She usually gets along well with the aunties and grandmas in the village, and they can chat with each other when they meet.
Another point is that she is a very meticulous person, so the things she talks about are usually things that people don't pay much attention to.
That's why they say rumors are more ferocious than tigers. Chen Shuning immediately realized that someone with ulterior motives must have overheard what she said that day.
But she didn't seem to mention that Yang Wanqiu had ten or twenty thousand yuan! I really don't know how that amount got out.
On the way back, the girls were completely unaffected by the wind and snow, chatting and laughing all the way.
Their car was much more lively compared to the other two.
As soon as the oxcart entered the village, everyone heard the roar of an engine behind them, knowing that a coal truck was coming, and everyone was very happy.
From the day they learned they were going to work in the countryside in Heilongjiang Province until they settled down, everyone around them kept saying how cold the winters were there.
In addition, it's only the beginning of October and it's already this cold, so these newly arrived educated youths have been worried about how to get through the winter.
Now, seeing the large trucks passing by them, how could anyone not be happy?
The passengers in the car urged the old man driving to hurry up, and they all looked like they would have gotten off and run back if it weren't for the things on the car.
