Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 141 Making Friends

"Have you bought the winter supplies? If not, I'll go with you..." Realizing that what she said was inappropriate, Zhang Moli stopped talking decisively.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Tao Qiuyi was full of anticipation.

What are you going to do with her? Tao Qiuyi didn't understand what Zhang Moli said.

After hesitating for a moment, the fear in her heart overcame her rationality. Zhang Moli gritted her teeth and said the rest of the words. "Sister Qiuyi, I want to go with you."

"I came to town today, mainly to go to the hospital to buy asthma medicine for my husband. I ran into Yuqi on the way. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, so we just chatted while walking. Who knew..."

"Look how nervous I am. I'm even talking incoherently."

Sun Yuqi is Zhang Moli's classmate. She knows that she is very timid, and she was really scared when she encountered such a thing today.

Walking up to Zhang Moli, Sun Yuqi patted her back gently and said soothingly, "Moli, don't be nervous. We are fine now. It was Qiuyi who saved us both."

"Sister Qiuyi beat those three thugs so badly that they cried and begged for mercy. They probably won't dare to rob again in the future."

"Yeah." Zhang Moli nodded gently, took a deep breath, and continued, "What I mean is, I want to go shopping with you, wait for the oxcart together, and go back to the brigade together, but...is that okay?"

Zhang Moli was really scared. She felt that it would be safer to follow Tao Qiuyi.

"There are still some things I haven't bought yet. I'm just about to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to check." Tao Qiuyi did not refuse the suggestion of going together. Her original plan was to go to school after buying the things.

She said she wanted to let Li Zi and Xiao Huai go to school. This has delayed them for so long. It should be done as soon as possible.

She unexpectedly met Zhang Moli, who was frightened again. She went back to the village with Zhang Moli first, and then went to school in the afternoon.

The old branch secretary had helped her, so it was only natural for her to help the old branch secretary's granddaughter-in-law.

Sun Yuqi suggested, "I'm taking a day off today. I live in town, so why don't you two come with me to my house for lunch? It's a small way of thanking Qiu Yi for saving my life."

"It's just a small favor, you really don't have to be polite." Tao Qiuyi politely declined, "Besides, I've already accepted your thank-you gift. Forget about going to your house for dinner. I still have things to do."

No one has extra food these days, so she won't add to their burden.

"Sister Qiuyi, I really want to..." Sun Yuqi suddenly stopped, looking at Tao Qiuyi with embarrassment and nervousness.

Tao Qiuyi was confused by her look.

"I'm sorry, I call you Sister Qiuyi just like Jasmine does. Do you mind?" Sun Yuqi asked expectantly.

Seeing the woman's anxious expression, Tao Qiuyi smiled and shook his head. "I don't mind."

"That's great." Sun Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tao Qiuyi with a guilty look on her face. "Sister Qiuyi, I really want to thank you. To be frank, what I did today was not authentic."

"If I hadn't called you, you might not have been discovered by those people. So, I feel very sorry. It's all my fault. It's my fault..."

"Wait a minute." Tao Qiuyi interrupted Sun Yuqi and told the truth, "You really don't have to feel sorry. I accidentally discovered that the three of them were following you two."

"I followed them because I could tell they had bad intentions. So, whether you called out to me or not, they would have found me and wouldn't have left."

"You saw that they were bad guys, so you followed them to save us." Sun Yuqi exclaimed.

Zhang Moli also looked at Tao Qiuyi in disbelief.

She had actually shown up to save her and Yuqi, regardless of her own personal danger. Zhang Moli's gratitude towards Tao Qiuyi deepened. "I guess so." Tao Qiuyi nodded. That was not wrong.

"Sister Qiuyi, you are such a good person." Sun Yuqi grabbed Tao Qiuyi's arm in surprise and shouted, "I want to be friends with you. I must be friends with you."

"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant and have a nice meal to celebrate the blessing in disguise that Jasmine and I have met a good person like Qiuyi. It's my treat."

No, how did we get to the point of making friends? Tao Qiuyi was helplessly dragged by Sun Yuqi to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.

Tao Qiuyi naturally didn't let Sun Yuqi treat her. She used the money she robbed to pay for the meal, and only then did Sun Yuqi agree.

The three of them ate and chatted, and Sun Yuqi was talking most of the time.

Zhang Moli occasionally responded with a few words.

Tao Qiuyi was not very interested and just listened.

Only when Sun Yuqi talked about where she worked did Tao Qiuyi turn his attention to her.

Sun Yuqi said she was a regular employee of the town's textile factory and told Tao Qiuyi not to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth. If she wanted to buy cloth, she should come to her and she would take her to buy the defective cloth from their factory.

No cloth coupons are needed, and most importantly, the price is very cheap.

Zhang Moli echoed, "Sister Qiuyi, what Yuqi said is true. If you want to buy cloth, it's really not cost-effective to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Not only do you need cloth coupons, but the quantity is also very limited."

"Yuqi's factory sells a certain amount of defective cloth every month, and most of it is bought by factory employees and their relatives."

"Don't think that defective cloth is bad. In fact, defective cloth is very good. Although it is called defective cloth, it actually has very few defects and is just as easy to use as ordinary cloth."

"The clothes and pants my family wears, even the sheets and bedsheets, are all made of defective fabrics that Yuqi took me to buy from their factory."

"I don't think defective cloth is bad, really." Tao Qiuyi was very happy. She went to the supply and marketing cooperative mainly to buy cloth.

She used the cloth she had bought earlier to make clothes for the four seasons for the family of four, starting with the winter clothes. She also bought some ready-made clothes from the supply and marketing cooperative, which was barely enough for them.

Clothes for spring and autumn can be mixed together, but summer clothes must be made separately, as well as quilt covers and sheets, and cloth is needed everywhere.

The cloth she had bought on the black market and in the supply and marketing cooperative was not enough, so she thought of going to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

She didn't expect that the person she saved worked in a textile factory and could even take her to buy defective cloth. It was like someone gave her a pillow when she was sleepy. She was so lucky.

When Tao Qiuyi told Sun Yuqi about her difficulties in buying cloth, she immediately said, "Don't worry, sister Qiuyi. I may not be able to help you with other things, but I will take care of buying cloth."

"It just so happens that our factory hasn't started selling this month's defective cloth yet. I'm familiar with the people in the warehouse. After dinner, I'll take you to the factory to pick out the defective cloth."

"Okay, okay, that's great, thank you." Tao Qiuyi agreed readily.

Sun Yuqi waved her hand generously, "Don't be polite, we are friends who have been through thick and thin together."

After the three of them finished their meal, they went to the toilet together.

After all, they lived in the same village, and Zhang Moli knew the situation at Wei Jingyuan's home very well. She did not tell Sun Yuqi the details, but took advantage of Tao Qiuyi going to the bathroom and quietly pulled Sun Yuqi aside.
