Chapter 179 Hu Xin’s thoughts

There were people chatting on the road, and the journey felt closer.

Just when they were approaching Ningzhou, they saw two people they didn't want to see, one was Huang Lei and the other was Wu Lai.

Tao Zhen knew Huang Lei, but she didn't know Wu Lai, but she could roughly guess his identity.

Although Wu Lai behaved politely, Tao Zhen still saw the calculation flashing in his restless little eyes.

The same eyes as Wu E and Huang Menghan are really disgusting.

"Are you going to the city too? Are you going to sell things?" Wu came to talk to Hu Xin familiarly.

Hu Xin was not an inexperienced person. She was a little disgusted when she saw that Wu Lai was well dressed but acted frivolously. Tao Zhen didn't say anything, so she answered, "What does it have to do with you?"

Wu Lai was not annoyed: "My aunt's family is from the Exiled Village. They are also neighbors. I know many people and have many paths. I know some people in Ningzhou. If you have any difficulties, maybe I can help."

Although Hu Xin didn't like him, she felt that what he said made sense.

As for Tao Zhen, she looked at Wu Lai with a sneer, not wanting to say a word more.

Huang Lei couldn't wait to go up and beat Tao Zhen to death now. Pei Heng was so frightened that he hid behind Tao Zhen and didn't dare to raise his head.

"Let's go quickly, Xiao Heng is going to be late." Tao Zhen interrupted the conversation between Hu Xin and Wu Lai.

Wu Lai didn't bother anymore.

After sending Pei Heng to the academy, Tao Zhen said that she still had something to do. Hu Xin had been here a few times and went to the bookstore by herself.

Tao Zhen went to the teahouse. Today was the day she and Jiang Er agreed on.

She ordered a pot of the cheapest tea and sat in the corner waiting for Jiang Er.

Jiang Er came a little later than usual. When he came over, he was not polite. He poured the tea and took a sip before saying, "How long have you been waiting?"

Tao Zhen said: "It didn't take long."

Jiang Er did not hesitate and said straight to the point: "We have the goods. How much do you want this time?"

Tao Zhen looked at him with a smile: "How many do you have?"

Jiang Er made a sign of the cross with his index fingers.

Tao Zhen was a little surprised: "So many?"

Jiang Er nodded: "Some time ago, one of my brothers went outside the customs and bought more at one time. If you can't eat it here, we are going to send it to Fucheng to sell it."

He added: "It would be best if you could eat them all."

Ten cows was indeed a lot, and Tao Zhen was unsure. She thought for a while and said, "I don't have much money, can I..."

As soon as she stood up, Jiang Er shook his head firmly: "It's not that I don't trust you, our business involves risks, and we can't break the rules."

Tao Zhen said: "I'm not asking for credit. I just want to ask if I can give you a few days of grace and I'll collect the money."

Jiang Er nodded: "But the time cannot be too long. I will go and talk to them. It is not safe to leave it for too long."

"it is good."

Ten cows cost dozens of taels of silver. Tao Zhen had made some money recently, but it was still not enough.

Hu Xin went to the bookstore to return the books, then went to Yun Sanniang's shop and handed in her mother's embroidery. Then she saw the clothes in Yun Sanniang's shop, especially the slim-fitting Hu suit, which she liked very much.

"Sanniang, how much does this cost?" she asked.

Hu Xin was introduced by Tao Zhen. Yun Sanniang was very polite to her and said, "One tael of silver."

"This…"

So expensive...

Hu Xin pinched the dozens of pennies in her hand, but kept staring at the clothes. In fact, it was not just this one, she liked everything else in it.

"Shuangshuang, I heard that the clothes in this store are very good-looking. This is what you wear when you go to Fucheng this time." Jin Min and Zhou Shuangshuang entered the store.

Yun Sanniang went over to greet them.

The two of them are the kind of people who are not short of money as Tao Zhen said, and they have long been interested in these two clothes.

"How about you wearing this suit and me wearing this suit?" Jin Min pointed at the suit Hu Xin was looking at just now. Seeing that Hu Xin was wearing shabby clothes, he deliberately squeezed her. Hu Xin stumbled and leaned against the cabinet at the back. She went up and bumped her waist on the corner of the cabinet. She frowned in pain.

"Hey, what are you doing standing here?" Jin Min looked at Hu Xin reproachfully: "Do you want to buy it? If not, don't block the way!"

Zhou Shuangshuang turned to look at Hu Xin: "Are you okay? Minmin didn't do it on purpose."

"It's okay!" Hu Xin felt uncomfortable in her heart. She had never suffered such grievances before, but since she became a prisoner, she has suffered more grievances. She suppressed her words and did not speak.

Jin Min snorted: "You look like you're about to cry. If you don't know, you might think I'm bullying you."

Zhou Shuangshuang pulled Jin Min: "Forget it, let's look at the clothes."

Jin Min snorted coldly.

Yun Sanniang hurriedly smoothed things over: "You two ladies, would you like to try it on? You will know if these clothes are suitable or not. You will know after trying them on." Jin Min's attention was diverted, and she and Zhou Shuangshuang took the clothes and tried them on.

Yun Sanniang came over and comforted her: "Don't take it personally. Go sit over there for a while and wait for Tao Zhen."

Hu Xin held back her tears and said, "I'm going out for a walk."

"Be careful." Yun Sanniang couldn't say anything.

Hu Xin went out and looked at the people on the street, feeling dazzled. Everyone was so glamorous, as if they were laughing at her poverty.

Her tears finally couldn't help but fall.

She squatted by the wall, watching the people coming and going, feeling sad.

A pair of large embroidered shoes appeared in front of me, followed by a handkerchief.

Hu Xin's eyes were hazy, and he raised his head to face an extremely beautiful face.

"It won't look good if the little girl cries again." Yun Yi smiled and put the handkerchief into her hand: "Here, wipe your tears."

...

It was already noon when Tao Zhen came over. He didn't see Hu Xin and thought she had gone back by herself.

Yun Sanniang told what happened today and said, "The little girl feels wronged."

Yun Sanniang said this, but she definitely didn't think so in her heart. She felt that Hu Xin was too pretentious.

Speaking of little girls, Tao Zhen was only one year older than her. Why couldn't Tao Zhen be so pretentious? She was a rich lady after all, so she couldn't bear to be wronged.

Tao Zhen said: "She has just arrived, so she may not be used to it."

Yun Sanniang said: "What do you mean you are not used to it? How come you are so used to it?"

They are all the same people, why is Tao Zhen not being pretentious?

She is afraid of comparison in everything. Yun Sanniang is not very fond of Hu Xin. There is no specific reason. She just doesn't like him at first sight, very much.

Tao Zhen couldn't explain to Yun Sanniang. She had grown up with a blind eye, and if she didn't like what others said, she would treat it as farts.

"I'm going to find her so nothing happens again."

……

Hu Xin stood at the door, neither going in nor going out.

She heard Yun Sanniang's words clearly.

In fact, she had heard this a lot recently, including from her family members. Mrs. Hu had said more than once that Tao Zhen was capable. Hu Ling wanted to change her job before, so Mrs. Hu was interested. Her eldest brother was a widower and Tao Zhen was a widow. , Aren’t the two of them a perfect match together?
Hu Xin thought so too.

If Tao Zhen could be married, the Hu family's life would be much easier.

Brother Hu is a good-looking man who is well-read in poetry and literature. There is no problem in marrying Tao Zhen. The Hu family thought that Tao Zhen would be very happy, but they didn't expect that they just went to test it out. Mrs. Pei didn't understand what it meant, and Tao Zhen didn't understand it either. Before he knew about this, Pei Zhan came to the door.

He took the initiative to give Hu Ling and the others a lighter job, asking Hu Ling to do a good job, and patted him on the shoulder to tell them not to think of any evil ideas.

This is how educated people speak. There is no need to break out and speak too clearly. Hu Ling didn't understand, but Mrs. Hu and Hu Xin understood.

He can easily change jobs for Hu Ling and the others, or let them do the hardest and most tiring work. If the Hu family is sensible, they can be neighbors with peace of mind, and maybe he can take care of them.

If you think about something crooked again...

Pei Zhan didn't say the consequences, but everyone knew it.

Mrs. Hu also stopped thinking.

Hu Xin was very unconvinced at the time: "How can Pei Zhan, a brother-in-law, care about his sister-in-law's affairs?"

Mrs. Hu said: "Do you think they are really uncles and sisters-in-law?"

She looked at her daughter and said, "Pei Zhan is good-looking, but this person is not suitable for you. I have mentioned it to Mrs. Pei several times. Her refusal to answer proves that the Pei family has no such intention."

Moreover, Mrs. Hu doesn't like Pei Zhan. Pei Zhan is now a supervisor in the quarry. What does this mean?He still has tattoos on his face, and he will be an overseer for the rest of his life.

Hu Xin is different. She is a woman. As long as there is a connection and someone helps her, she might be able to leave here.

Mrs. Hu thought long-term, but Hu Xin didn't think so much. She was very disappointed.

How could she be inferior to Tao Zhen? Pei Zhan would rather have a widow than her?After all, she is an innocent girl.

When she heard that Tao Zhen was coming out to look for her, Hu Xin hid sideways. After Tao Zhen left, she came out and entered Yun Sanniang's shop.

Yun Sanniang saw that she still looked lukewarm: "Where have you been? Tao Zhen went out to look for you. Have you seen her?"

Hu Xin shook his head and whispered: "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I will go back first. Please tell Sister Tao Zhen when she comes back."

Yun Sanniang was a little annoyed when she saw her behavior, and waved her hand to show that she understood.

Hu Xin walked out of the door, glanced at the shop opposite, turned around and left.
