Thinking of this, Cai Anan became even more determined to sell the cloth.
She told the boss that she would pick up the goods today, the sooner the better. She was a big customer, unlike those individual customers who bought separately. Boss Wang still valued her very much.
It was only 100 kilometers from Provincial City to Jinning, so she could make a round trip in a day. She wanted to ship the fabric back with Zhou Jin and come back to Provincial City five days later for Zhou Jin's review.
Dr. Zhu prescribed Zhou Jin medicine for seven days. He would come back in five days to get the medicine.
However, Boss Wang told her that the variety of cloth today was not complete. The few types she wanted were all in high demand and would only arrive the day after tomorrow.
Cai Anan was a little disappointed, but she had no choice but to wait. She told Boss Wang that she would come to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow.
After discussing the delivery, Cai Anan left the market with Zhou Jin.
She looked back. In her memory, this market was founded in 1979. In 1981, it moved to Nansantiao Alley and was officially renamed Nansantiao Market.
Who knew that when she looked back, she was accidentally bumped into by someone. The person who bumped into her ran away quickly after that.
Cai Anan felt that something was wrong. Her wallet was gone!
She had brought 5,000 yuan in cash with her when she went out. She was afraid that it was not safe to leave the money in the hotel, so she brought it all with her. She did not expect that the thief would be after her!
"Thief!" Cai Anan subconsciously shouted and quickly chased after him.
It took Zhou Jin a few seconds to react to what had happened and he hurriedly chased after her.
When he was in school, he was very good at sports. He ran much faster than the average person. In just a few minutes, he caught up with the thief. He stretched out his long legs and tripped the thief.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the thief hurriedly threw the money on the ground, got up, and ran.
Cai Anan picked up the wallet. Zhou Jin was about to continue chasing after the thief when he was suddenly pulled back.
"Yue Zhi!"
An old woman's voice sounded timidly.
Cai Anan turned around and saw an old woman standing behind them. At this moment, a pair of dry hands were tugging at Zhou Jin's clothes, not allowing him to leave.
The old woman had silver hair. Although her clothes were old, they were very clean and gave off a dignified feeling.
"Are you my Yue Zhi?" the old woman asked with her head tilted. You're finally back. I've waited for you for decades…"
Zhou Jin looked at the old woman with a dumbfounded expression. He was not even sure where Yue Zhi came from.
How would he know if he was Yue Zhi?
He only knew that his wife was Cai Anan. As for who he was, he had forgotten.
Cai Anan had just left for Provincial City when Xue Guibao came to borrow money, as if he knew that Xue Guixiang had money.
Xue Guibao was wearing a patched shirt and holding up his shoes that exposed his toes. He said with a smug face," Sis, please pity me as your younger brother. We haven't been able to make a living in the house for a few days. The children are crying because they're hungry. Sun Junqiao, that old lady, quarrels with me every day."”
Xue Guibao's good-for-nothing appearance made Xue Guixiang very disgusted. The land in Pony Village was contracted to the family one year earlier than the land in Zhou Village. If Xue Guibao was a proper worker, how could his family fall into such a situation? This year, Xiao Ma and the other pear farmers had an additional income. Xue Guibao's family originally had pear trees, but he felt that it was too tiring to take care of the pear trees, so he cut down the pear trees in the first year. Now that the fields were covered with grass, he was extremely jealous when he saw that others had made money.
Xue Guixiang peeled the skin of the stick in her hand and said with a solemn face,"I'm not criticizing you, but you're already in your thirties. Can't you do something serious? If the two of you had worked hard and taken care of those few acres of land, the children would not have been so hungry that they could not eat!”
"Big Sister is right. I will definitely do a good job in the fields this year and strive to have a good harvest next year. However, Big Sister must help me with my current difficulties.”
