She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 117 Consider it
Forehead?
Ji Shuyin was taken aback for a moment when he suddenly asked this question.

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

Jiang Shi'an isn't the type to be looking for a romantic partner!

Upon hearing her question, the man immediately became serious, yet he tried to pretend he didn't care.

Overall, she felt a mix of tension and a touch of absurdity.

Oh, that one!

It's because of Zhu Zhixiang's matter. After I learned about what happened yesterday, I felt that things weren't going to continue like this.

You're not young anymore; it's time for a woman to get married, and you're also very beautiful.

In our production team, quite a few young men secretly have a crush on you!
I was thinking that if you'd like, we could pretend I'm your boyfriend; that would avoid a lot of trouble.

He spoke calmly on purpose, but in reality, his palms were sweating.

Ji Shuyin frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Jiang Shi'an, tell me honestly, what exactly happened?"

This is such a terrible idea; it doesn't seem like something you would come up with.

Yes, Ji Shuyin isn't stupid.

That's such a lame excuse, there must be something else going on.

Jiang Shi'an took a deep breath, but the tension in his heart still could not be relieved.

He always handles everything with ease.

But when facing Ji Shuyin, he was afraid of even the slightest chance.

If my feelings for her were discovered, we probably wouldn't even be able to be friends anymore.

"Since you've already figured it out, I'll just say it directly."

You now know about Gu Yuncheng's situation; Zhao Yuexiang likes him.

However, he did not give in, enjoying the adoration while maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Tang Weiyu.

She might even have other ideas about you.

As far as I know, Mr. Gu is doing quite well now.

Once things calm down, I definitely won't let my precious son stay in the countryside.

Then you'll have to make a choice.

At this point, she finally understood.

"Don't worry, I will no longer have any dealings with the Gu family."

Even something as simple as returning to town is not something I need their help with.

Although I knew she wouldn't compromise, I still breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it with my own ears.

"Yes, I understand."

I'm afraid he'll keep bothering you because of this.

Right now, the production team has no work to do.

As you can see from what happened yesterday, Gu Yuncheng can't let you go.

Whether it's genuine emotion or pride at play, this is an undeniable fact.

But if you have a partner, it's different; I can hit him openly and without guilt.

The last half of the sentence successfully made Ji Shuyin laugh.

"Honestly, I thought you liked me too!"

Seeing her relaxed tone, Jiang Shi'an felt incredibly bitter inside!
Of course I like it, but how can I say it out loud?

Ji Shuyin ignored his conflicted expression and continued speaking.

I will consider this matter.

Gu Yuncheng and Tang Weiyu really do need to be dealt with.

My precious time should not be wasted on this.

It's getting late, you should go back and pack your things.

Oh, by the way, I've got something for you.

It's not right to always accept gifts from others; reciprocity is the proper way.

Ji Shuyin took out some beef jerky and two steamed buns.

"Just heat it up when you get home and you can eat it."

And these pickled cucumbers, I made them myself. Today is the first time I've tried them, and I think they're pretty good. You should try some too.

Jiang Shi'an didn't refuse. It was getting late, and he would have to cook anyway if he went home, so this would be much simpler. After thanking him, he returned home.

Ji Shuyin was still busy in the space, organizing a lot of things.

They also tidied up the vegetable garden for quite a while.

The team needs to do some statistics before distributing the food.

Having a few days of free time, she planned to go to the county town to see if there was a market for her vegetables.

It's late autumn now, and many families still have vegetables to eat, so they probably can't afford to pay the price.

Things are a bit better in the city; most people have wages and are willing to live a comfortable life.

Give it a try; there's always a chance.

Moreover, she also wanted to check out the black market here; maybe she'd find something useful!

Come to think of it, I haven't really explored this area properly yet.

I ran into Tang Weiyu the last time I went there, and I haven't had a chance since.

Now that the decision has been made, we'll prepare to go the next day.

She set off very early in the morning, not wanting to be seen by too many people.

I estimate that I will live here for another two or three years.

I need to think of a way to get the bicycle out; it will make going out more convenient in the future.

Upon arriving in the county town, we headed straight for the black market.

Surprisingly, it's quite lively here.

Although it's called a black market, it's more like a morning market, and it even has a lively, down-to-earth atmosphere.

Ji Shuyin looked around and was surprised to see that they were even selling breakfast, and the business seemed to be doing quite well.

I made them all myself, just to earn some pocket money.

However, having so much surplus food at home should not be underestimated.

She thought about it for a moment and realized that buying some and storing them in her spatial storage was also an option.

When it's time to eat, it's ready-made.

I bought sugar triangles and vegetable buns, but I didn't dare to buy too many, just five of each, otherwise I might attract unwanted attention.

Further inside, there are many other things for sale.

They have all sorts of things; basically, everyone just sets up a cloth and puts their wares on it.

Ji Shuyin looked at the enamel mugs for sale and went over to buy two large ones.

It's a defective product, but it's still not bad and doesn't affect normal use.

The further you go in, the more it resembles a normal black market, with fewer people and a more deserted atmosphere.

She tried to stay as close to the side as possible, minimizing her presence.

After walking for a while, I finally saw what I wanted.

"Line up, line up, one at a time."

There are still quite a lot of people buying grain.

She looked ahead and prepared to go straight ahead.

"Brother, are you selling grain?"

The person glanced at her, and didn't seem to like it.

"It's written here, don't try to get close to me, go to the back of the line."

Right now, the grain from all the production teams has arrived, and the taste of the new grain is excellent.

Buy some now, so that meals at home will be a little easier later.

Many people share this view.

"Brother, you've misunderstood. I'm not buying grain."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately objected.

"You're not buying food? Are you kidding me? Go play somewhere else, you little brat."

Well, seeing that the person was ignoring her, she wasn't discouraged.

Well, since this approach isn't working, let's try another one. They are indeed busy.

He found a quiet spot, put down the basket, and pretended to take something out of it, but actually took out a piece of cloth from his spatial storage.

Then, some fruits and vegetables were placed on top.

Yes, she's going to set up her own stall.
