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

Chapter 13 Earning an Extra Fortune

They came so fast! I haven't even had my fill of fun yet!

However, one should still put on an act when necessary.

When Ji Shuyin saw the person who came, she immediately burst into tears, pretending to be very scared.

"It was him. He sneaked in, probably to steal something."

In this day and age, being dishonest is a serious crime.

Moreover, everyone shares a common hatred towards the enemy.

Gu Yuncheng, who was lying on the ground, had just been lifted up by his neighbor, and everyone was stunned.

"Yuncheng, it's you?"

He stared intently at the girl in front of him, as if he hadn't heard her.

"Season, Book, Sound..."

Ji Shuyin's eyes widened, she threw the broom on the ground and quickly came over to help him up.

"Yuncheng, how could it be you?"
It's just dawn, why are you back from outside?

I went to bed early yesterday. Did you go to the Tang family to drop someone off and then stay there overnight?

She chose to strike first, dropping an even bigger bombshell.

Sure enough, everyone was speculating that Gu Yuncheng was staying out all night and had an affair with the Tang family girl.

As for being beaten up by her as if she were a thief, that's completely forgotten.

"Nonsense, I was just delayed by something and stayed at my colleague's house."

This explanation seems so inadequate.

"I haven't even said anything to you yet, why did you hit me? It hurts so much..."

His body was fine, but the problem was down there, which was making it hard for him to recover.

Right now, I'm just barely holding on, I can't let the neighbors laugh at me.

Ji Shuyin also noticed that his condition was not good; his lips were slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat were seeping out.

"It's not even fully light yet, and you're sneaking around like that. I thought you were a thief!"

If you don't say anything, how am I supposed to know who it is?

"I told you, ouch~"

Gu Yuncheng couldn't help but gasp when he used too much force.

He wanted to shake her off and sit down in the chair.

But things just wouldn't go his way.

"And you, staying out all night without even telling me beforehand."

What have you been doing? Why are you acting so suspiciously? Are you doing something shady behind my back?

Every additional question he utters causes him more pain.

Finally, someone noticed something was wrong and rushed over to help the person up.

"I think Yuncheng is quite badly injured. Let him sit down and rest!"

Now is not the time to break off relations, so Ji Shuyin naturally won't stop her.

So they made a big fuss, pretending they had just noticed.

With everyone working together, they carried the person into the room.

I felt a little better after I covered myself with the blanket.

"Thank you so much everyone today, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do by myself."

The people around her were all neighbors, and they were all very pleased to see how polite she was.

Gu Yuncheng lay on the bed, feeling both alive and dead.

When she went out to see someone off, Aunt Chen was the last one to arrive.

"Shuyin, you are a good girl."

There are some things I have to remind you of.

This man needs to be kept a close eye on, otherwise problems may arise later.

She's quite the gossip, but not a bad person. Before, when she bought lots of things to please the Gu family, this person subtly inquired about it once.

“Aunt Chen, I know.”

Actually, Yuncheng didn't go to any colleague's house at all, but I have no proof, so I can't say anything.

Then Tang Weiyu and him became blatantly intimate, sigh..."

That's right, we should give these two a good shout-out.

It's because they don't pay attention to their surroundings and are always together; everyone around them knows it.

"Oh, what a pity, such a good girl like you..." She wasn't stupid; this was just a polite remark.

There's nothing they can do, after all, the Ji family's situation is so special, no one would dare gamble with their entire family.

She suddenly remembered that Aunt Chen's youngest son seemed to have a job interview in the next couple of days.

It seems like this scene also appeared in my dream.

Although he did well on the written test, he wasn't dressed properly, so they thought his family background wasn't good enough and didn't hire him.

"By the way, Aunt Chen, is your youngest son going to a job interview?"

She was also troubled by this.

"Yes, it's the water conservancy unit in our city."

My written test score was pretty good, but I heard that the interview requires a certain appearance and demeanor.

I'm currently trying to figure out how to get him a decent set of clothes.

"So, have you collected them all?"

This is what she cares about most.

Aunt Chen shook her head helplessly, feeling quite powerless.

"Money is no problem, it's just that this ticket is really hard to get right."

I could only manage a simple outfit; I'll figure it out later!

Having received a satisfactory answer, she feigned some shock.

"How can we treat it so casually? That's the water resources department, such a prestigious organization!"

"Respect the clothes first, then the person; that's the rule. Aunt Chen, don't hold back on this!"

Which parent doesn't want the best for their child? It's just that they don't have the means!

"To be honest, I've been thinking about it these past couple of days. Maybe I should go to that place."

Her eyes darted around, clearly indicating that it was something that couldn't be explained clearly.

However, Ji Shuyin understood that it was nothing more than the black market.

"Aunt Chen, you've been good to me."

Since we've run into each other, I can't just stand by and do nothing. Wait here for me a moment.

After saying that, he ran straight into the house.

When they came out again, they were carrying a large bag.

"Look, these are all the clothes I bought for Gu Yuncheng."

They're all from department stores, selling the best stuff.

He had never worn any of these three outfits, and this one he had only worn once or twice.

Aunt Chen was shocked. Ji Shuyin had actually brought out such fine clothes.

"Shuyin, is it really appropriate for you to buy this for Yuncheng?"

"What's the big deal? He already has a job, so he doesn't care about these things."

Moreover, he felt it was a bit extravagant and was afraid that others would gossip and say it was related to him.

Everyone living in this alley knows her identity, so it's normal for the Gu family boy to have this doubt.

But it's different for others.

"Oh well, if that's the case, then I'll take them all."

My child, you've really helped me a lot. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you suffer any losses.

These four pieces of clothing look expensive.

You also need the corresponding cloth coupons, and even with both, it's not guaranteed that you can buy them easily.

I'll give you 150 yuan, what do you say?

This price was completely unexpected for her.

"Since you're so sincere, what more can I say? Take it all."

Oh, and I also have a men's all-steel Shanghai watch and a Hero brand fountain pen.

Wearing it out will make you look good, do you want it?

Although Ji Shuyin has never worked in a company, she is sure to know a lot from the influence of the Ji family.

Since her youngest son wants to work for that kind of organization, she'll definitely be right to listen to her.

"Oh dear, these are priceless treasures."

Even if you have the money and the ticket, you might not be able to buy one, and besides, those tickets are incredibly hard to get. Are you really willing to spend that much?
