Seeing that she was carefully counting the goods, Xie Fangyuan said with concern:
"Yingying, why are you working so hard to make money? Last time you said your mother-in-law was in the hospital. Is your family in urgent need of money?"
She had wanted to ask this question since Wei Zhuolan came yesterday, but she had been holding back.
She was a little curious as to how a girl like Qin Ying could not even have anyone to rely on.
Qin Ying was stunned by her question. Seeing Ren Changzheng looking at her with a puzzled expression, she shook her head.
"No, I... want to pay back the money."
Xie Fangyuan and Ren Changzheng looked at each other:
"How much do you owe others?"
"Five hundred yuan, I want to pay it back as soon as possible..."
Before Qin Ying finished speaking, Xie Fangyuan said to her:
"What would you like to buy, comrade?"
Qin Ying turned around and saw Fu Hanzhou standing behind her, looking at her with a cold face and a dark look in his eyes.
"I'm here to pick up my love."
Fu Hanzhou looked at Xie Fangyuan and said lightly.
Looking at his expression, Qin Ying felt a little uncertain. Could it be that he heard what she just said?
After collecting her thoughts, Qin Ying introduced them to each other:
"Yuanyuan, this is my lover, Fu Hanzhou."
"This is my colleague Xie Fangyuan, and this is her boyfriend, Ren Changzheng."
Xie Fangyuan's expression was relatively normal and he greeted Fu Hanzhou. Ren Changzheng looked at Fu Hanzhou with a rather bad and cold expression.
Fu Hanzhou looked at the stall in front of her. There were all kinds of small accessories that looked very exquisite. Although he didn't understand them, he felt that all lesbians would like them.
He stood there for a while, and girls came over one after another to pick and choose.
They were all busy greeting people and had no time to talk to him.
When it was time to close the stall, Fu Hanzhou joined them without any airs.
Ren Changzheng looked at him several times, but finally couldn't help but blame him in an unhappy tone:
"Comrade Fu Hanzhou, although you are a soldier and defending your country is indeed an honor, it is equally important to protect your family. As a man, how could you let Qin Ying, a female comrade, buy tickets on the black market?"
"Brother Changzheng!"
Qin Ying was shocked by his kindness and quickly stopped him from speaking any further.
But Fu Hanzhou glanced at her with a puzzled look.
"It's the past, don't mention it again!"
Qin Ying laughed dryly twice, her eyes a little evasive, feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze.
Ren Changzheng refused to give in, his tone still harsh:
"Besides, shouldn't repaying the money be your joint responsibility? You're a gay man, yet you're making your wife's life so difficult. It really makes me..."
Qin Ying closed her eyes, oh my god!
Why does Ren Changzheng like to stand up for the weak so much?
Fu Hanzhou's face darkened and he moved his mouth but didn't say anything.
Qin Ying simply stopped talking and quickly packed up her things with Xie Fangyuan and returned to the publishing house.
When she got in the car, Qin Ying felt extremely tormented.
The look in Fu Hanzhou's eyes when he looked at her was as if he was torturing her.
He took advantage of the time when Qin Ying and Xie Fangyuan were taking things back to the publishing house to ask Ren Changzheng about Qin Ying's purchase of tickets on the black market.
Unexpectedly, she met a gangster there, but she didn't tell anyone.
That's why Ren Changzheng was so cold when he saw him.
When he heard Ren Changzheng say this, he felt depressed.
They didn't speak all the way, and the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing. The car stopped in the military compound, and neither of them got out.
"You set up a street stall, claiming to be following national policy, but is it really just to pay me back?"
Qin Ying did think so before deciding to set up the stall, but now, the relationship between them seems to be much closer than before.
Giving this reason now seemed very pretentious, and Fu Hanzhou seemed even angrier than when he heard about her and Wei Zhuolan.
Qin Ying lowered her brows, unable to think of how to answer for a moment.
"I did do this to comply with national policy, but...it's also true that I want to make money."
Seeing her like this, Fu Hanzhou's tone remained calm without any ripples:
"What happens after you pay back the money? Draw a clear line?"
"I...I just don't want you to be innocently implicated."
"Innocently implicated? Am I just an outsider in your eyes?"
If it was when she first came, Qin Ying might have nodded without hesitation and said, "You are an outsider!"
But now she doesn't seem so determined anymore.
She had clearly been planning to divorce, but when Fu Hanzhou asked her this, she hesitated.
What is he now?
Qin Ying was a little confused. Were they lovers? But they were married.
Are they husband and wife? But they live in separate rooms.
After he forcibly kissed her in the army that day, she had actually been deliberately avoiding him.
"The Ren Changzheng you met on the black market?"
Seeing that he no longer insisted on paying back the money, Qin Ying let out a sigh silently, nodded stiffly, and explained carefully:
"I...had just started working at that time, so...I needed a ticket, so I went...only once!"
"It's my fault. I was inconsiderate. You're shy and might be embarrassed to ask me for help when you first arrived. I thought if I told you to come to me if you have any difficulties, you would... It's my fault.
You went to the black market and met gangsters but didn't think of telling me, and you endured it all alone. So, I am not your support, or, in your heart I am not important, even dispensable.
You would rather ask your colleagues for help than ask me. I admit that I didn't care enough about you, which made you complain about me. You never wore the clothes I bought for you!"
