Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

"It's just an ordinary bracelet, what's so valuable about it? Xiao Lan, are you angry because of what the villagers said, and want to distance yourself from me, which is why you refuse to accept it?" Ruan Ziheng's face turned pale instantly as he asked cautiously, as if he had just thought of something.

"No, Ziheng, what are you thinking? If I wanted to distance myself from you because of this, I wouldn't have come out with you in the first place." Jiang Lan was both amused and exasperated, not expecting him to think that way.

"Xiao Lan, since you don't want to sever ties with me, then please accept it, okay?" Ruan Ziheng almost pleaded.

Under his gaze, Jiang Lan nodded gently, "Brother Ziheng, I'll keep it for you for now. You can come and get it anytime you need it."

Ruan Ziheng watched as she accepted the gift, and a smile returned to his face. As for the second half of her sentence, he selectively ignored it. He would never take back what he had given away, much less take it back.

Seeing Ruan Ziheng's reluctant departure, Jiang Lan was momentarily confused. She didn't know when their relationship had changed; they had been fine just last time.

It was just the way the brother looked at his sister, how come it changed after he went out and came back?

Or was it because Ruan Ziheng wanted to take responsibility for her because of the rumors circulating in the village?

[Host, he's fallen for you, that's why he's so insecure.]

"Are you sure?" Jiang Lan was somewhat incredulous. Had something happened in the past twenty days that she didn't know about?

Of course, whenever you get close to him, his heart suddenly races and he gets very nervous; when you leave, he's disappointed. What else could this be but liking someone?

[Ping An, when did this series of reactions begin?] Jiang Lan thought it sounded quite like what Ping An had said after hearing its analysis.

[It was there when I got back this afternoon.]

Goodness, is this a case of distance making the heart grow fonder? He went to a neighboring province, discovered he liked her, and then went home and gave her the bracelet that Aunt Ruan had given to her future daughter-in-law as a gift?

Jiang Lan couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it, put the bracelet into her spatial storage, and began her daily studies.

She's been busy during the day lately, so she can only study at night. Luckily, she has a photographic memory, otherwise, with her memory, she probably wouldn't remember much.

After Jiang Jun and Ruan Ziheng returned, Jiang Lan prepared to go to town to find work. The matter between Zhou Lingling and Bai Xiuwen was temporarily put to rest. The two of them tormented each other every day, which saved her the trouble of doing it herself.

After wandering around the town for a few days, Jiang Lan successfully bought a job at a textile factory from an old lady for 100 yuan and 200 jin of grain.

The handover was completed on the same day, and after getting familiar with the factory, I was able to start work the next day.

The female textile factory worker's salary was 28 yuan per month, along with various receipts. She also received various benefits during holidays. This was one of the jobs that many people envied.

After leaving the textile factory, Jiang Lan found a secluded spot and took out two grass carp, two ducks, a bag of apples, and two bunches of grapes from her spatial storage. It was a pity that she didn't raise pigs in her space, and there was no pork for sale in town at the moment, otherwise she could have made a sweet braised pork.

When Jiang Lan rode her bike home, her parents and second brother had all gone to work, and the house was quiet.

Jiang Lan felt a bit tired these past few days because of work, and planned to take a nap, asking Ping An to wake her up at the appointed time.

In the evening, Jiang Lan prepared a table full of dishes as usual, and also asked her second brother to invite the three members of the Ruan family over. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, she announced that the job had been secured and that they could start work the next day.

As expected, Jiang Lan received another wave of praise.

Now she herself feels that she has become much thicker-skinned, and she can accept the mindless praise from her parents and Aunt Ruan without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Lanlan, are you planning to stay in the dormitory? Or will you be commuting back and forth every morning and evening?" Jiang's mother asked.

"I don't want to live in the dormitory, there are too many people there." Jiang Lan heard that several people live in one dormitory, so she still lives at home and rides her bike back and forth. Anyway, the bicycle at home is only used by her second brother sometimes.

Moreover, Zhou Lingling lives next door, so I have to keep provoking her so that she can get her killed off sooner.

"It's better to stay at home. Our village isn't far from the town; it only takes about twenty minutes by bike. What time do you start work in the morning and finish get off work in the evening?"

When Aunt Ruan asked, Jiang Lan didn't think much of it and replied, "Eight o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the afternoon."

“We’re worried about you riding your bike back and forth alone,” Aunt Ruan said with concern.

Jiang's mother nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but worry about Lanlan coming and going alone every day.

"How about this, have your brother Ziheng take you to school every morning and pick you up in the evening, then we won't have to worry."

Jiang's mother nodded seriously and kept giving Jiang's father meaningful glances.

Jiang Lan's lips twitched. Good heavens, so this was where they were waiting after going around in circles.

No wonder Ziqing sent my second brother away beforehand.

Ruan Ziheng also looked at her with anticipation.

Jiang Lan deliberately said, "No need to trouble Brother Ziheng, just have Second Brother pick me up and drop me off every day."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ruan Ziheng's eyes, and he said, "Second Brother hurt his back this afternoon, so he probably won't be able to ride a bike for the time being."

"Ah! Then I'll have to trouble you for now, Brother Ziheng." Jiang Lan suppressed a smile and thanked him.

She was somewhat curious about how her second brother would react when he found out he had strained his back.

And are her parents planning to openly matchmake them?

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all." Ruan Ziheng smiled happily.

The three adults also had smiles on their faces.

After a while, Jiang Lan said again, "But Ziheng has to go to work, so I'll ride my bike there myself! It's not early, around seven o'clock, and there won't be any danger on the road."

“Lanlan, I’m worried about you going by yourself,” Jiang’s mother objected first.

“That’s right, Xiao Lan, it only takes half an hour to go back and forth. Zi Heng can work a little longer later,” Aunt Ruan said.

Listen to what they're saying.

Is this his biological son?

Are you sure it wasn't brought back from abroad?

“But that would tire Ziheng out.” Jiang Lan lowered her head after saying that, afraid that she would burst out laughing.

"I am not tired."

"He's a grown man, why is he tired?"

Ruan Ziheng and his mother, Aunt Ruan, hurriedly spoke up.

"Lanlan, since Ziheng and your Aunt Ruan have both said so, it's settled then. From now on, Ziheng will pick you up and drop you off at get off work, so we can rest assured." In the end, it was the patriarch of the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang, who made the final decision.

Jiang Lan naturally wouldn't object anymore. She was just teasing them on purpose. If someone was willing to be her driver, why would she disagree?

Besides, the roads are in bad condition now, full of potholes, making it difficult to ride a bicycle.

Besides, why wouldn't she be happy to have someone pick her up and drop her off at get off work?
