Jiang City.
Gao Qianying rummaged through her luggage and suddenly remembered that there were jewelry and US dollars in the mezzanine that Zhou Limin gave her before leaving.
With the experience of being stolen, she became more cautious. After much thought, she simply stuffed the gold jewelry and US dollar bills directly into her underwear pocket. She didn't believe it. Someone would dare to steal it?
After gathering her belongings, she quickly found a gold shop in the city center and sold the jewelry for cash.
The gold jewelry given by Zhou Limin only looked good and was not heavy in grams. In the end, it only cost more than 300 yuan.
Ordinary factory workers earn around 100 yuan a month, and more than 300 yuan is equivalent to three months' salary. At first glance, it seems enough for two or three months, but workers have dormitories to live in and canteens to eat. Gao Qian When Ying is away from home, he always pays more than others for everything he does, so naturally he doesn't have enough money.
No, as soon as she got the money, she moved into the best guest house in the city center.
After placing her luggage, she rushed to Linfeng Village, Jiang Yao's hometown, without stopping.
It takes three trips of transportation from Jiang City to Linfeng Village. First, take a bus from the long-distance bus station in the city center to Jiang County, then take another bus from Jiang County to Jiang Town, and finally take a tractor or ox cart in Jiang Town. Linfeng Village.
In this era, there are fewer cars and more people, and a bus is often packed with double the original passenger capacity.
When Gao Qianying got in the car, the window seat was no longer available, and she could only sit on the aisle side.
The aisle was crowded with people, and the unique smell of buses mixed with the stench of chicken and duck sweat in the air. Gao Qianying couldn't help but retched, then took out a silk scarf from her pocket and covered her mouth and nose. Stay, now I feel better.
The road to Linfeng Village has just begun.
The bus was driving on a bumpy dirt road, and the people in the car were bumping around along with the car. After a while, several sounds of vomiting began to be heard in the car.
The smell inside the car got even worse.
Fortunately, people who often ride in cars have experience. They usually carry a plastic bag with them and vomit into the bag when they want to vomit.
But the aunt standing next to Gao Qianying was riding a bus for the first time. The car was bumpy and she couldn't hold it back for a moment. The contents of her stomach spurted out of her mouth along her esophagus with a whooshing sound——
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Gao Qianying screamed, and her polka-dot shirt was covered with a large puddle of yellow, sticky liquid, which was exactly what her aunt had vomited up.
She stared at her aunt with disgust and cursed: "You damn old woman is so disgusting!"
"The designer clothes I just bought were ruined by you after I wore them once!"
The aunt raised her hand to wipe the water stains around her mouth with her sleeve, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, sister, I really couldn't hold it back."
Can you vomit on her if you can't hold it back? "I don't care, you have to pay for my clothes. Even if they are washed, they still smell disgusting. I will never wear them again."
The aunt asked tremblingly: "Sister, how much does this dress... cost?"
Gao Qianying reported the number.
The aunt almost fainted: "What did you say? A shirt costs more than three hundred yuan. This, this is not made of gold, so why is it so expensive?"
It was impossible to pay compensation. The aunt nodded and apologized to Gao Qianying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how about I clean it up for you?"
Gao Qianying rolled her eyes as she was farted, and was too lazy to argue with her aunt.
After hearing the conversation between the two, everyone looked over.
The conductor was obviously used to this kind of thing. He signaled the driver to pull over and said to the passengers in the car: "Hey, if you want to vomit, get out of the car and vomit immediately. If you need to poop or pee, do it as soon as possible. The car in front won't do it." Stopped!"
The people in the car were half off in an instant.
Gao Qianying was still in a stalemate with the aunt. The conductor pulled the satchel in front of her to the back and stepped forward to mediate: "Sister, this aunt didn't mean it. She really can't afford to pay for it. Let's do this. I'll change it for you." Is the position of the window okay?”
The conductor pointed to the window seat in the row in front. She knew the passenger sitting in that seat, and she could change seats after a short discussion.
Gao Qianying also knew that it was hopeless to expect the other party to compensate, so she reluctantly nodded.
The passengers who got off the car returned to the car and the car continued to start.
I have to say that the conductor was very foresight, and the second half of the road was even bumpier. However, because everyone got off the bus and vomited, the sound of vomiting in the carriage was significantly less, but the smell was still unpleasant.
Gao Qianying opened the window and wanted to get some air.
As soon as I turned my face to the window and stuck my head out, I heard a chirp and something stuck to my left cheek.
She reached out and touched it, and there was a sticky lump——
"ah!"
She screamed again, not knowing who was spitting out the window, but she stuck her head out at that moment, and when the wind blew, the spit flew back and hit her face.
The phlegm was thick, yellow and had a fishy smell. Gao Qianying almost fainted from crying.
Before she could find out who spit it out, the car had already arrived in Jiangzhen.
Everyone swarmed out of the car and dispersed after a while. It was impossible to find the culprit of the spitting.
Gao Qianying had no choice but to endure her anger and find a place with a water pipe to rinse her face.
After struggling all the way, by the time she arrived at Linfeng Village, it was almost evening.
Her hair was messy, her complexion was sallow, and her original carefully matched look had changed beyond recognition. She looked like an aunt returning home from a day's work in the village.
Gao Qianying stopped an aunt carrying a hoe and asked, "Hello, how can I get to the Jiang family?"
The aunt was Jiang Yao's aunt Li Xianglan. She looked Gao Qianying up and down: "Who are you looking for?"
Gao Qianying tentatively said, "I'm looking for Jiang Yao."
Jiang Yao? !
As soon as she heard this name, Li Xianglan's expression changed. She slammed the hoe on her shoulder on the ground, raised her eyebrows and shouted:
"What are you doing with that shameless money-loser? He's gone a long time ago. He might have eloped with some wild man!"
"This unlucky broom girl has caused great harm to our family. It's better to die outside!"
After venting, Li Xianglan remembered to ask: "What is your relationship with her? What are you doing with her?"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Gao Qianying was immediately ecstatic. It seemed that the relationship between the Jiang family and Jiang Yao was not very good. Didn't they know that Jiang Yao had gone to Xiangjiang? !
This gave her a chance to sow discord.
She sighed and assumed the posture of a victim:
"Actually, I came here to seek justice for her parents. She robbed my fiancé and drove me away from home. I had no choice but to find her all the way here. Her parents would never watch their daughter destroy others. Feelings?"
"What did you say? She, she snatched your man? Is she not dead?" Li Xianglan was shocked. She lost her grip on the hoe and almost hit her own foot.
Gao Qianying nodded: "Not only is he not dead, but he is now working as a wealthy young lady in Xiangjiang!"
What? Xiang, Xiangjiang?
Rich family?
Young lady?
Every word exploded in Li Xianglan's mind like a firecracker.
Snap - the hoe in her hand slipped completely and hit her toes, making her scream.
"Oh, my feet." She sat down on the ground, took off her shoes, and started rubbing her toes.
After the pain passed, her mind gradually cleared up. She believed that Jiang Yao stole other people's men.
After all, Jiang Yao's appearance and figure are there, she looks like a fairy, and men can't move when they see her.
But she really didn't expect Jiang Yao to go to Xiangjiang.
At this time, Xiangjiang was as far away to her as abroad.
"Then, how can that damn girl have the ability to run to Xiangjiang? How did she get there?"
Gao Qianying explained her doubts: "You don't know, there are smugglers in Guangdong Province who specialize in helping people smuggle across. I guess she asked the smugglers to smuggle across."
"Auntie, let's not talk so much. Can you take me to meet her parents? I will tell you in detail when we meet."
As she said this, Gao Qianying touched a ten-dollar note from her chest in a particularly polite way and stuffed it into Li Xianglan's hand, "Excuse me, auntie."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Li Xianglan pushed the money out of her hand, but her eyes were glued to the banknote with gleaming eyes.
Seeing her like this, Gao Qianying felt even more confident about this investigation and pushed the money back directly.
"I'll have to trouble you from now on. Just accept it if you have some thoughts."
"Hey." As expected, Li Xianglan did not refuse.
After receiving the money, and having resentment towards Jiang Yao, Li Xianglan led people to Jiang's house while talking: "To tell you the truth, I am the eldest aunt of that dead girl, and her parents have died long ago. , I am the man in charge of the Jiang family now, so we can help you teach that little bitch a lesson."
"I said, why don't you give up on that little bitch who wants to get married? It turns out that she wants to go to Xiangjiang to marry a rich man. Now that she leaves, we are in great misfortune! The way several children in the family entered the factory was forced by her. It’s mixed and yellow.”
"Marriage? Is she engaged here?" Gao Qianying's eyes lit up when she finally heard the news she wanted to hear.
Speaking of this matter, the fire in Li Xianglan's heart was raised again:
"That's not the case! That little bitch's wedding was arranged, and the deposit for the hotel banquet was paid, but then the wedding was missing!"
"It made the other party think that our family was deliberately defrauding us of the bride price, and they almost called the police and had us imprisoned! Later, the bride price was refunded and a large sum of money was paid to them. All the family's wealth was drained, and the matter was over."
really! Jiang Yao was engaged in the Mainland! Gao Qianying continued to ask: "Who is engaged to her? Do you have contact information?"
As long as we find another man engaged to Jiang Yao, the evidence will be solid! Let’s see how Jiang Yao can still argue!
Jiang Yao, who is far away in Xiangjiang, doesn't know that Gao Qianying traveled all the way to the mainland in order to find out her details.
At this moment, she was lying on the desk in the dormitory writing an article.
Usually when there are classes in the afternoon, she will go to the dormitory at noon. The dormitory is a four-person room with a bed above and a desk below. Everyone has their own independent space.
At noon, the other three roommates were sleeping on the bed. Jiang Yao didn't want to waste time and was racing against time to write her novel.
Rubbing her sore wrist, Jiang Yao missed the days of coding on the computer.
Fortunately, in a year or two, computers will be widely available in Xiangjiang. By then, she will no longer have to rely on handwriting to create her works. She can code on the computer and then print them out.
After working hard for several days, Jiang Yao finally finished writing the first 100,000 words.
I wrote two thick notebooks.
She put the manuscript in a portfolio and planned to submit it to Ming Pao first.
