80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 38 Buying Books
Wu Hong's smile faded: "What nonsense are you talking about? I really see how beautiful she is."

"If it's ugly at first glance, would you want it?" Liu Lirong said, "I've seen jade pendants sold at the village market, and the color is not like this. Others have green or blue colors. How can it be white jade? It must be fake."

Wu Hong hinted to Aunt Liu to take care of Liu Lirong. How embarrassing it would be to say so directly that the young wife gave her fake goods? Besides, whether it was real or fake, it was a token of love.

Most importantly, she wore it with joy and jubilation.

Isn’t that enough?
have a finger in the pie!

No wonder my blind dates have always failed. I don’t have any taste.

Aunt Liu ignored Wu Hong's gesture and looked at Li Yingtang jokingly: "Xiao Qin's family, we just said that the things can be a little shabby, but it's not good to use fake goods as a favor, right?"

Li Yingtang said unhappily, "Your niece is a jade identification expert? Whatever she says is true?"

"I've seen it." Liu Lirong emphasized, "Anyway, yours is definitely not real. Who would give real jade as a gift?"

Li Yingtang took a long breath and calmed himself down.

Summer insects cannot talk about ice, well frogs cannot talk about the sea, and ordinary people cannot talk about the Tao. Competing with such people would lower her status. "You are right, what I gave you is a fake." She asked Wu Hong again: "Mrs. Cheng, do you still want it?"

"Of course I want it. It's a free gift. Am I stupid enough to refuse it just because of someone's words? Who knows if they are jealous of me for taking advantage of you?" Wu Hong raised her hand wearing the jade bracelet and protected it to her chest like a treasure.

Liu Lirong curled her lips and said, "Good intentions don't get good rewards. If you don't believe it, forget it. Aunt, let's go. They are in the same group and don't welcome us at all."

Wu Hong: "Hey! You girl"

"Daughter-in-law Cheng, don't be angry. My Lirong means well and is afraid that you will be fooled by others." Aunt Liu left.

Wu Hong chuckled and said, "I think you are just jealous."

"I don't want it even if you give it to me." Liu Lirong turned her head and replied stubbornly.

Wu Hong consoled them, "Just treat them as farts from Doctor Qin's family. Don't take it to heart. I love this bracelet."

"I'm too lazy to argue with them." Li Yingtang's good mood was ruined. He couldn't sit still and found an excuse to leave.

One person walked around the village and returned to the health station.

Turn around the wing room.

Aunt Liu stood at the door of her room.

There was a blue curtain on the door.

Aunt Liu spoke across the curtain:

"Xiao Qin, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but marry a virtuous woman. How can a woman do nothing but wait for a man to do it? If it were you, a girl like your wife should be paired with those families with nannies in the movies.

You don’t have to do anything every day. After eating, just wipe your mouth and throw away the dishes, and someone will automatically clean up.

Marry you, and you see, even the door curtains have to be fixed by you, this is a woman’s job.”

"Men can do the same work that women can do." Qin Xian said slowly.

Aunt Liu continued, "It's not like that. Men are responsible for the outside world, and women are responsible for the inside world. You earn money to support her, so she should serve you. But she not only doesn't serve you, but also uses your money to buy things for others. Today, she directly gave a white jade bracelet to Mrs. Cheng at the entrance of the village. Is this how you live your life? It's so extravagant and wasteful. You really should teach her a lesson."

"I'm not disabled, why should I need her to serve me? Marrying a man means providing for her, clothing and food, so it's my duty to support her, and she doesn't need me to support her. Her things can be given to whoever she wants, what's the big deal? It's not worth giving her a lesson.

Aunt Liu, I respect you as my elder, so I listen to you. Please don't say bad things about Tangtang in front of me anymore, I don't want to hear it." Qin Xian lifted the curtain and walked out.

When he noticed her, he paused.

Li Yingtang smiled at him.

He raised the corner of his mouth in response.

"If you don't want to hear it, I don't want to say it either." Aunt Liu turned her head and said, "Xiao, Xiao Qin's wife is back."

Li Yingtang glared at Aunt Liu and said, "If I don't come back, how can I hear your wonderful comments about me?

Just now at Sister Cheng's house, you and your niece said that the bracelet I gave Sister Cheng was a fake one. When you came to Ah Xian, you accused me of spending money recklessly. I didn't provoke you, so what on earth do you want to do?"

On the one hand, he was trying to sow discord between her and Wu Hong, and on the other hand, he was trying to sow discord between her and Qin Xian.

so bad.

She really wanted to teach this old woman some lessons!

Aunt Liu blushed: "I, I..."

Li Yingtang snorted and walked past Aunt Liu into the house.

"Xiao Qin, I, I'm leaving first." Aunt Liu left quickly.

Qin Xian entered the room and closed the door: "Are you angry?" "With Aunt Liu? Instead of having the energy to fight with her, I might as well read more books and improve myself." Li Yingtang walked to the bookshelf in the corner of the wall. There were some medical books, and the few basic works were almost torn apart by her. "You need a ticket to buy books, and the ticket price is high without one. It's really hard for ordinary people to make progress."

Qin Xian suggested to her: "You may be able to find the book you like at the scrap yard in the city. You go out often, why not give it a try."

Li Yingtang suddenly realized that when she cleaned the bookshelves at home, she would directly hand them over to her aunt, who would sell them as waste paper. In contrast, when people in the city who had the means cleaned up their bookshelves, the books would definitely appear at the waste station. "Where is it?"

Qin Xian told her about two scrap yards that he often visited.

After Li Yingtang took note of it, he went into the city early the next morning.

When we arrived at the scrap yard, we negotiated with the old man who was in charge of the scraps.

The other party agreed to let her weigh it at 50 cents per pound.

"Call me when you've made your choice."

"Okay." After thanking him, Li Yingtang half-knelt down in the pile of waste paper to pick out a book.

All the martial arts novels and world classics that she was familiar with could be found here.

She sorted out a part and asked the old man to weigh it.

"Five pounds, two dollars and fifty cents." The old man enthusiastically helped tie the books to the back seat.

Li Yingtang paid the money and rode his bike to Jingyuan.

I didn’t buy what I wanted, so I turned around and went back to the city center.

After storing the car, I strolled along the long street.

It's time for dinner.

The visible restaurants were packed with people.

Today she was wearing a large cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded trousers that looked inappropriate. If she went in with such a dignified look, people would definitely not like her.

"Let's find a small shop."

I walked to the end of the street and saw a stall selling tin lunch boxes.

I went up and bought a box.

The portion is particularly large, the rice is pressed especially tightly, the vegetables on the side are piled high, and there are three pieces of braised pork with alternating fat and lean meat, all for only 60 cents.

Much more affordable than a hotel.

After paying the bill, she squatted on the roadside with her lunch box in hand, ready to eat. An old man in a tattered cotton jacket, trembling, held out a bowl to her.

"Girl, please be kind. I haven't eaten for three days."

Li Yingtang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, stood up, covered his mouth and swallowed the food in his mouth, saying: "I touched this, I'll buy you another one."

"No, it's okay. Don't spend money. Just pick some for me."

Upon hearing this, Li Yingtang quickly distributed most of the food in the lunch box.

"Enough, that's enough, girl." The old man squatted and ate.

Li Yingtang bought a bowl of meat soup for him. When the waitress saw her approaching the old man, she hurriedly said, "Girl, you can't show him my bowl. If you are kind, give me 20 cents to buy it."

"Okay, I'll buy it."

Li Yingtang handed the soup to the old man and turned around to pay for the bowl.

The woman selling food said, "How can you be so honest, girl! Judging from your clothes, you must be from the country, right? Poor family, rich road, it's not easy for your family to give you some money for the trip to the city. You are so kind, but you should also look at your own situation."
