Chapter 3 I risked my life to save you
Yang Ronghua agreed, "Since you're determined to sell, I won't be polite. I'll give you a deposit of three hundred, and you can pay the remaining six hundred after it's finalized."

After leaving the office, Yang Ronghua asked Liu Guihua to prepare a letter of introduction and proof for Ji Sisi, and then rode her bicycle towards the shoe factory.

The old folks at the shoe factory all remembered Ji Sisi's mother, and they all knew that Yang Ronghua was the street's women's director, so the procedures went very smoothly.

After leaving the factory, Yang Ronghua and Ji Sisi went to the bank.

"Here's the remaining six hundred yuan, take it."

"Sisi, if your stepmother hasn't given you your dowry by the day before you leave, remember to come find me. I will deal with it strictly and uphold justice for you. You can always trust the organization!"

Yang Ronghua's expression was serious.

The Women's Federation has been quiet for too long, only doing some minor family mediation work and failing to achieve any real political achievements like other organizations. This time, it must handle the matter on a larger scale to serve as a warning to others and make those abusive men remember their mistakes and be wary of the Women's Federation.

As the director of the Women's Federation, Yang Ronghua should be working for the benefit and safety of women. She should also show other departments that the Women's Federation is not just a menial job!
Ji Sisi accepted the money without ceremony and politely thanked Yang Ronghua.

Yang Ronghua pushed her bicycle and watched Ji Sisi's departing figure, thin and lonely, her eyes filled with heartache for her.
-
Ji Sisi put the money in her storage space and began to plan for the next step.

She sold her job; Ji Hao will definitely come back to cause trouble tonight.

Memories of Ji Hao unfolded in her mind.

Ji Hao is Wang Cuifen's youngest son, who has been pampered since childhood and is the apple of Wang Cuifen's eye.

In the original owner's memory, he was a lecherous scoundrel. After the original owner turned 16, his personal clothing would frequently disappear, and it would always be found in Ji Hao's room. Every time he returned it to the original owner, his eyes were as cold and terrifying as a venomous snake, making people afraid.

Ji Sisi was so angry that she was trembling all over. This kind of person should go to jail!
On her way home, she kept thinking about how to sell the house. Since private sales are not allowed now, it would be easy for someone to find fault with it. If she were convicted of speculation, it would be a serious matter.

……

"Sisi is back."

The moment I stepped into the house, Wang Cuifen's hypocritical voice came through the door.

She looked up and saw a strange man standing there.

Upon seeing her, the man immediately stood up. He was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt, stood upright, and was 1.85 meters tall. The short-sleeved shirt covered his strong muscles, the muscle lines of which were faintly visible. His tall figure gave people a strong sense of security.

The man had exceptionally handsome features, deep yet not sharp. His clean, short hair accentuated his clear, bright, deep eyes, and his high, straight nose, making him a face that was impossible to look away from.

Their eyes met in the air, and Qi Yan's ears turned red as she looked away.

Ji Sisi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that the words used to describe the male protagonist in novels had become concrete at this moment.

"Hello, Comrade Ji Sisi, I am Qi Yan. I am very grateful for your help the day before yesterday."

Ji Sisi responded gracefully, "It's nothing, just a small favor."

Seeing the interaction between the two, Ji Nian, who was standing nearby, gritted her teeth in anger. The man in front of her should have belonged to her, but in order to survive, she had to push away such an outstanding person with her own hands. Hatred spread in her heart.

Wang Cuifen was equally unwilling to accept this situation. In her mind, the Qi family was a fat, juicy piece of meat, and if a little bit of it leaked through their fingers, she and her son would be set for life.

It's a shame that Ji Nian, that cheapskate, just handed it over to someone else. Luckily, Qi Yan is a fool with lots of money.

Thinking of the thousand yuan in her pocket, Wang Cuifen's worries lessened a bit.

"He was your older sister's childhood sweetheart, and now he's yours. Sisi, get ready, you'll be going with Qi Yan to where he works in a couple of days."

Wang Cuifen thought that the Qi family was large and wealthy, and Qi Yan must have a lot of savings.

Suddenly, the thousand yuan in her pocket no longer seemed so appealing. Wang Cuifen snorted, "I have to say Sisi is lucky; she managed to turn her own brother-in-law into her own husband."

Wang Cuifen's words implied that Ji Sisi's rescue of Qi Yan was suspicious. Ji Sisi raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in her eyes. Under the lamplight, her bright, clear eyes shone like a cunning little fox.

"Wasn't my older sister there too? Come to think of it, if my older sister hadn't dragged me to see the excitement, I really wouldn't have encountered this."

Ji Sisi looked at Ji Nian thoughtfully, deliberately emphasizing the last sentence, "Aunt Wang is right, this is too coincidental, it's as if someone arranged it. But eldest sister, did you really not recognize her?"

Ji Nian turned her head away guiltily, not daring to look at Ji Sisi.

"I, I, I was just too scared to recognize him, saving people is the priority..."

What happened to Ji Sisi? She used to be so quiet you wouldn't utter a word, but now she's become so sharp-tongued.

Ji Sisi was too lazy to waste words with the mother and daughter, afraid that revealing her personality too quickly would arouse suspicion.

She looked at Qi Yan, "Can we go outside and talk for a bit?"

Qi Yan nodded slightly, "Sure, I also have a few words I'd like to say to you privately."

Before they were even married, the two were spending time alone together, and the atmosphere around them became ambiguous.

Ji Nian was furious and was about to speak up to stop them, but Wang Cuifen beat her to it.

"It's fine to talk outside. I'm about to make dinner, so I won't keep you here for dinner, Qi Yan," Wang Cuifen said, urging him to leave.

Ji Sisi led Qi Yan downstairs.

"I have congenital heart disease and can't handle any stimulation or strenuous exercise. I risked my life to save you. Whether you like me or not, I will definitely stick with you for the rest of my life."

Her fate was intertwined with his, so she had to rewrite Qi Yan's destiny.

Despite her shameless tone, Qi Yan felt no disgust towards her whatsoever. Instead, he found her playful and cute, as if she were asserting her dominance.

Qi Yan nodded earnestly, his eyes filled with determination.

"Comrade Ji Sisi, don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for you. I also sincerely want to become your revolutionary partners. I have already given the betrothal gifts to my mother-in-law, and I have also prepared the four major items. If you are not willing to go to Gansu Province with me, I will try to apply for a transfer back to Beijing after this project is successfully completed. I can buy another set of the items I prepared."

Qi Yan took leave to visit his family this time because he couldn't withstand the pressure from his grandmother and was forced to come to Jianghai to fulfill the agreement between the two families.

Regardless of whether it works out or not, he will come this time.

He respected Ji Sisi's choice. The woman in front of him had delicate, fair skin, like the finest mutton fat jade, and bright, lively eyes. Qi Yan thought of his work environment and couldn't bear to let her suffer.

Upon hearing the word "bride price," Ji Sisi frowned slightly and asked him, "How much did you give as a bride price?"

She was worried about how to get her dowry back when this man actually rushed to give Wang Cuifen betrothal gifts?
Seeing her anxious, Qi Yan mistakenly thought she was complaining that it wasn't enough, and his heart jumped. "One thousand, I know it's too little of mine, but I'll hand over all my salary from now on. I don't smoke or drink, and I don't have any other hobbies that require money..."

This guy really knows Versailles; you have to understand that a thousand is someone else's total income for five years!
Ji Sisi interrupted Qi Yan, "I know, but I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to. It's getting late, you should go back to the guesthouse to rest."

Ji Sisi had to take advantage of the moment to get the betrothal gifts back; if she delayed any longer, Wang Cuifen would definitely refuse to give them back.

A hint of regret flashed in Qi Yan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He nodded and listened to Ji Sisi.

Ji Sisi watched Qi Yan leave, the setting sun casting a long shadow of him, making him appear somewhat lonely.

Just as Ji Sisi was about to turn back, an angry voice came from behind her.

"Ji Sisi, you dare steal my job! I'll kill you!"
