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

Chapter 10 Go to find Jiang Shi'an

She had brought trouble upon herself; it was a classic case of bringing trouble upon herself. Tang Weiyu was filled with regret, realizing she had really been too talkative.

I can't say any more about this; Ji Shuyin has really gone mad today.

"Shuyin, you must be joking."

Our family's food ration book is always in my mom's hands, how could I possibly get my hands on it, haha!

She was the only one who laughed, while the other two stared at her intently, which made things awkward. Tang Weiyu quickly shut her mouth.

"Sigh, Gu Yuncheng, look at yourself, what kind of person have you protected?"

"All these years, how much have you sacrificed for her? She won't even help you with a month's worth of food. How pathetic!"

He shook his head helplessly as he spoke.

There was also a hint of sadness in Gu Yuncheng's eyes.

Tang Weiyu panicked. Gu Yuncheng was now her lifeline, and she absolutely could not afford to offend him.

"No, it's just that I really can't get that grain ration book, otherwise I would definitely help."

She's such a good actress; she must have been a plastic bag in her past life.

"Huh? I seem to remember that you were the one who collected the food every month for your family."

Every time, you say it's too heavy and ask someone else to carry it for you.

This so-called "other person" is currently receiving her mocking gaze.

Gu Yuncheng naturally thought of this, and felt even more uncomfortable.

Tang Weiyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around in circles.

If we were to make up another excuse now, it would be too deliberate.

"I, I~"

Seeing her muttering to herself, Ji Shuyin decided to add fuel to the fire.

"What's wrong with you? If you ask me, you've really gone too far."

Putting everything else aside, Gu Yuncheng didn't even blink before taking out three hundred yuan for that jade pendant.

She deliberately drew out the word "three hundred yuan".

He even held up three fingers and deliberately waved them in front of the two of them.

Sure enough, neither of them looked very well.

"Don't say anything, I'll give it to you."

It's getting late, I should head back now.

Tang Weiyu suddenly stood up, the chair making a creaking sound.

Yes, she was angry, but she didn't dare to show it openly. Her face turned from blue to red, which was quite a sight.

Seeing that Ji Shuyin was about to leave, Gu Yuncheng also felt that something was wrong. He had actually been led by the nose by Ji Shuyin.

He reached out, trying to stop the person, but a sudden sound rang in his ears.

"Wait a minute, let's tidy up this before we leave."

"I can't do this kind of work, you have to finish what you start!"

After saying that, she smiled and took the bowl of chicken soup into the house.

"Hey, you~"

Before the man could even begin to criticize her, she turned around first.

"By the way, please keep your voices down, I'm afraid of making noise."

Remember to pay me back the money you lied to me about—I mean, the money you owe me—tomorrow!

The door slammed shut, leaving the two people outside stunned.

Tang Weiyu felt wronged, but she also had to consider Gu Yuncheng's feelings. She was furious.

"Sigh, so much money, how am I going to tell my parents when I get back!"

Yuncheng, I didn't mean anything by it.

"Shuyin is so clear about things now, she doesn't even consider you her fiancé. I'm worried you won't have a good time later."

You still have to pretend to be understanding.

But inside, I was furious.

Today, we spent a lot of money, both inside and outside.

If it weren't for work, she would have quit long ago.

Gu Yuncheng was also angry, but he couldn't do anything about Ji Shuyin.

"Don't worry, she won't be smug for long."

Given the Ji family's situation, she should be extremely grateful that I even want her.

I will definitely give her a good talking-to later.

"Alright, hurry up and pack your things. I'll take you home later."

"Okay." Tang Weiyu forced a smile. What a load of rubbish!
The tasks that Ji Shuyin can't do, she should do. Why should she?
……

Once it was quiet outside, Ji Shuyin secretly entered the space.

That night, they finally got Tang Weiyu's money in their hands.

But all in all, it's only thirty-six yuan and eighty cents.

All together, it's less than two thousand, just a few dollars short.

However, the watch, the pen, and those clothes came back.

I need to find a way to sell these things; when we get to the countryside, food and drink are the most important things.

Besides, she's already been touched by that scumbag, so she's disgusted by it.

……

The next day, Ji Shuyin got up early.

She needed to hurry and ride her bicycle away before Gu Yuncheng got up.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of breath to explain.

She needs to go home in the evening; this mode of transportation is very important.

After having breakfast at the state-run restaurant, she leisurely headed towards the west of the city.

Inside the chemical plant, people were bustling about.

Faintly, there were also shouting sounds.

She didn't know what had happened; all she could see was a large crowd gathered in front of her, everyone looking tense, and quite a few people running around.

She stopped a person coming from the opposite direction and quickly asked a question.

"Comrade, what's wrong? What happened?"

"The material spontaneously combusted, and someone was injured!"

The sentence was vague and incomplete; the person didn't say much more and just ran around, probably going to find someone.

Ji Shuyin quickly parked her bicycle on the side of the road. This was a warehouse behind the chemical plant, and it was normal for them to be moving such flammable materials.

But how could he be so careless?
She slowly approached, not daring to get too close.

However, we still saw what happened before.

A person was on fire; their clothes were probably on fire too, with those blue flames.

No matter how much it rolls, it can't be destroyed.

Ji Shuyin suddenly covered her mouth. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and it was normal for her to be scared.

"Make way, make way now!"

Everyone was drawn to the sudden sound and instinctively moved back a little.

A man pushed a cart half full of soil and then collapsed onto the person on the ground.

Thick smoke billowed up instantly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone covered their noses.

The air smelled like burnt flesh, which made her feel nauseous.

The dust settled slowly, and the man remained still.

The man who had been pushing the cart quickly went over and dug the person out of the ground.

"Everyone, lend a hand!"

Only then did some workers, belatedly realizing what was happening, come up to help.

And she saw the man's face clearly.

Jiang Shi'an was once the most popular and aloof academic star and school heartthrob at their school.

He's turned into this disheveled and unkempt figure; if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to connect him with the spirited young man he once was.

Soon, medical staff arrived, the injured person was carried away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh dear, that was too urgent."

If it weren't for Xiao Jiang, Old Wang would probably have been burned to death.

"Yes, water can't extinguish fire, but loess can, which is really strange."

The people around were all sitting on the ground, discussing what had just happened.

At the same time, it was also to catch my breath.

It took a while before anyone noticed Ji Shuyin standing next to her.

"Hey, when did we get female comrades here?"

"Young lady, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, she walked over confidently, with a bright smile.

"I'm here to see Jiang Shi'an."
