"As for why I followed you here, heh, of course it’s because Brother Hua is here. What were *you* thinking?"
Hearing Chi Yun’er say that, Jiang Zishi finally felt like everything from the past made sense.
’So I’d been a deluded fool this whole time. How could a girl with such good grades possibly be an idiot when it came to love?’
He couldn’t believe this was the truth. "Bian Yumin, you too...?" he asked, struggling to get the words out.
Chi Yun’er nodded, shrugging with an amused smile. "That’s right, I know what she’s thinking. I’m going to be your sister-in-law, after all. I can’t very well stand in the way of your happiness, can I?"
"You two are just like Zhou Yu and Huang Gai—one is willing to do the beating, and the other is willing to take it. It’s a great fit."
Jiang Zishi’s fists tightened. "The job at the brick factory..."
Chi Yun’er raised an eyebrow, her beautiful face turning frosty, which added an oppressive air to her loveliness. "I may not have spoken to anyone but you, but that doesn’t mean I’m deaf."
"The brick factory is infamous. Something or other is always happening there. I could piece together most of the story just from the little scraps I overheard from the villagers who walked past the sent-down youth quarters every day."
"Besides, even without all that, would it really be appropriate for a female sent-down youth as good-looking as me to go to a brick factory? But I should thank you for your ’help.’ It allowed me to successfully get into the farm and spend all my time with Brother Hua!"
Jiang Zishi had never been so furious. The pride he once felt was now matched only by how ridiculous he must look in Chi Yun’er’s eyes. It was a feeling he could neither tolerate nor accept.
He was always the one toying with people, not the other way around!
And certainly not by this person he’d always considered a useless airhead!
"So, you were the one who took my money?"
He remembered the main reason he had come all this way, making sure to avoid Jiang Yihua.
Chi Yun’er looked at him in surprise. "Jiang Zishi, I’d almost forgotten until you brought it up. How much money and how many things have you borrowed from me over time?"
"I used to think that since we’d be family one day, we shouldn’t haggle over such things. I didn’t even make you write an IOU."
"You’re my brother-in-law-to-be, after all. As for how much you owe me, your sister-in-law, I’ll just have our mother-in-law take it out of your share. I’m sure she’ll be very fair and impartial."
"So, what money of yours did I take? You have money, but instead of thinking about paying me back, you let someone else get their hands on it?"
