Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Wen Tang observed the environment of the supply and marketing cooperative and Gu Shuhe's expression, pondering that Shen Tingci probably hadn't bothered Gu Shuhe too much.

Gu Shuhe handed the water to Wen Tang, who smiled and told her, "I've been back for about ten days, and I haven't seen you go back. I asked my mother and found out that you were transferred to the county town and can only go back once a month now."

Gu Shuhe nodded, "Yes, it's far away, and one day off isn't enough to make it back and forth, so I'll just take two days off at a time."

Wen Tang asked her, "How are you feeling here? Are you settling in?"

Gu Shuhe thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, apart from being a bit far from home, it's no different from the town."

"There are more people buying things here."

“Um…” Wen Tang stammered, not knowing how to ask.

No matter what, she's just a sister-in-law; it's a bit too much for her to meddle in her sister-in-law's marriage.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

"Um, I heard from Mom that you were transferred to the county town just two days after you rejected the marriage proposal from the Shen family?"

Gu Shuhe thought about it and realized it was true, but she also said, "Yes, I came here because we were short-staffed."

Wen Tang "..."

"Did you encounter Shen Tingci here after that?"

Gu Shuhe nodded. "Yes, he comes here often, and his mother came once too."

Gu Shuhe was still naive: "He and his mother are really nice people. His mother bought a lot of food and saved a lot for me."

"And him, he gave me movie tickets that other people gave him instead of going to the movies. He also gave me his sister's unwanted shoes and such."

"Mom also asked me to bring him some pickled vegetables."

"You gave it to him?"

"Yes, I'll give it to him when he arrives."

Gu Shuhe said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, Mom also asked me to bring some vegetables from the garden, but they were a bit wilted when I brought them, so I decided to cook them myself."

Gu Shuhe smiled shyly after she finished speaking.

Wen Tang realized that her sister-in-law hadn't been caught by the big bad wolf!

I breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

However, Wen Tang was still very concerned about one important point: "Did he want the pickled vegetables?"

Gu Shuhe nodded, then said softly and shyly, "I was thinking that if he didn't want it, I would keep it and eat it myself. I don't really know what to eat since I'm here every day."

Wen Tang breathed a sigh of relief again.

Based on her experience reading novels, she knew that the male protagonist's face wasn't like that.

The first trait of the mean-spirited male protagonist when dealing with women is: impatience.

Second: He only lusts after the female lead's body, but disdains what she possesses because she's poor. (Of course, he starts to covet her during the "chasing after his wife" phase, and some might even chew on her ashes.)

Clearly, Shen Tingci does not currently meet these symptoms.

If it's not that the male lead is mean, but simply that he's taken a liking to Gu Shuhe, and if he has the patience to win her over, Wen Tang thinks that's acceptable.

After all, with Gu Shuhe's clear and innocent eyes right now, even if she only uses roundabout tactics, it's enough to keep Young Master Shen busy.

Once she was sure Gu Shuhe hadn't been wronged, Wen Tang felt much more relaxed. She waved her hand and said, "Come on, your sister-in-law will treat you to lunch to reward you."

Gu Shuhe felt embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, let me treat you. You just got back, I can't let you treat me."

Wen Tang replied matter-of-factly, "I'm your sister-in-law, and besides, I have money, so of course I'll treat you."

Gu Shuhe dared not question the fact that Wen Tang was wealthy.

So Gu Shuhe nodded.

After agreeing to go out for a meal, Wen Tang took out a dress from her crossbody bag and gave it to Gu Shuhe, saying, "I brought this back from Shanghai for you. Do you like it?"

Gu Shuhe only glanced at it before excitedly nodding, "Mmm, it's so beautiful."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Wen Tang waved his hand generously again, "Why are you being so polite with your own sister-in-law?"

Gu Shuhe blushed and praised, "Sister-in-law, you're so kind!"

Wen Tang replied matter-of-factly, "Absolutely!"

When it was lunchtime, Gu Shuhe locked the door and went to a nearby state-run restaurant with Wen Tang.

During the meal, Gu Shuhe asked Wen Tang, "Sister-in-law, are you still going to Haishi?"

"Okay, I'll go. I'll leave in a few days."

Gu Shuhe nodded and asked Lin Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, are you getting used to the work there?"

"Yes, she's always so happy there, saying she's a great working worker."

Hearing this, Gu Shuhe couldn't help but laugh. "She really doesn't like reading."

Wen Tang asked Gu Shuhe, "Shuhe, do you want to go to Shanghai for fun?"

Gu Shuhe shook her head, "I'm not going. If I go, I'll have to ask for leave, which will definitely affect my chances of getting an advanced individual award."

Wen Tang "..."

"I didn't realize our girl was such a hard worker." Wen Tang's praise was genuine.

Because if it were her, she'd be thrilled if anyone offered to take her out.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked her life by time-traveling!

Gu Shuhe felt embarrassed and quickly put two pieces of food on Wen Tang's plate, trying to shut her up.

Wen Tang ordered a lot of dishes, and the two of them ate their fill. They even packed up the leftovers.

As the two women, munching on popsicles, walked back to the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Tingci was standing in a shady spot by the entrance.

Gu Shuhe's first reaction upon seeing Shen Tingci was, "Oh no, I've made the customers wait. If my boss finds out, he'll definitely scold me."

She quickly took two bites of her popsicle, then handed the groceries she was carrying to Wen Tang before running to open the door.

Shen Tingci watched Gu Shuhe walk side by side with a girl from a distance, but he didn't recognize Wen Tang at first because they were far apart.

As he got closer, he remembered Wen Tang's identity: Gu Shuhe's sister-in-law.

Upon recognizing Wen Tang, Shen Tingci instinctively put the cigarette case he had been playing with in his hand into his pocket.

The eldest son of the Shen family has grown up with an arrogant spirit and has rarely paid attention to anyone's feelings. At this moment, he still wants to pay attention to his image in all aspects.

Gu Shuhe jogged over to open the door, and Shen Tingci asked, "Did you go out?"

Gu Shuhe nodded cautiously, "Yes, I'll just go out for a little while, just a little while," she repeated, afraid that Shen Tingci wouldn't believe her.

Before the door was even opened, Gu Shuhe asked, "Still want a pack of cigarettes?"

“No,” Shen Tingci denied matter-of-factly.

Wen Tang had already walked up to him and was looking Shen Tingci up and down.

Shen Tingci nodded slightly to her.

Wen Tang immediately smiled brightly, "Hello, young master!"

Shen Tingci "..."

Shen Tingci's usually expressionless face was now cracking.

Wen Tang continued, "Does the eldest son work at the county committee?"

Before Shen Tingci could nod, Wen Tang said, "Our Shuhe has also been transferred to the supply and marketing cooperative next door. What a coincidence!"

Shen Tingci "..."

"Hmm, quite a coincidence," he said, his expression still blank, his face as if wearing a hard mask.

Wen Tang: You have such a good mental fortitude, no wonder you're a politician!

"What would you like to buy, young master?"

Gu Shuhe had already opened the door completely, waiting for the person at the door to come in.

It was the way Shen Tingci addressed Wen Tang as "..."

Although Shen Tingci's face was expressionless, his tone was polite: "With the founding of the new China, there are no slaves in this society."

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Wen Tang before stepping into the supply and marketing cooperative.

His voice was like pearls falling onto a silver plate, beautiful, but...
