MTL - Pass Through 80s: A Notoriety-Chapter 22 The farm machinery compound spread
Chapter 22 Spread of the Farm Machinery Compound
Bei County is not big, so Ji Ling soon arrived at the department store, and there were only a few brands of soap on the counter.
The ones that sell daily necessities here are only here, and they belong to the public.
Ji Ling doesn't need to go to other places.
In fact, she already had a plan in mind.
"Ji Ling? Come to see your mother?" A woman in a red plaid shirt came over, saw her looking at the soap, and said with a smile, "Don't buy it, as soon as the new soap arrived yesterday, your mother asked you to keep a piece. I can take it home for you to use tonight."
Ji Ling knew that the other party had misunderstood, so she smiled and didn't explain much.
It was only then that she remembered that Xu Fang was working here, and it was better to leave now, so as not to run into Xu Fang in a while.
Thinking of this, she nodded and left.
As soon as she left, Xu Fang came.
Xiao Liu came up, "Sister Xu, your Ji Ling just came over."
Xu Fang froze for a moment, "What is she doing here?"
Xiao Liu tapped the soap with his chin, "Look, the soap is here. The little girl loves beauty. I bought a new brand yesterday. Can you not be curious? I told her not to worry, you kept it for her."
Xu Fang silently did not answer.
Xiao Liu has a straightforward temper and didn't find anything wrong. When asked about the grades, "Sister Xu, looking at your Ji Ling, did you do well in the exam this year?"
Xu Fang's two daughters are taking the college entrance examination this year, and everyone in the department store knows about it.
Especially the arrogant eldest daughter, who was about to take the college entrance examination a while ago, and she was going to work in the city after making a fuss. Xu Fang didn't want to talk about it, but there were colleagues and relatives who lived in the agricultural machinery family hospital, so the news of Ji's family spread come out.
Xu Fang knew in her heart that she had been making fun of her in secret, but she pretended not to know if everyone didn't talk about it, but she hated her eldest daughter to death in her heart, which made her feel ashamed everywhere.
At this time, when Xiao Liu asked about the grades, Xu Fang finally had a smile on her face, "I passed the exam."
Xiao Liu raised his voice, "All passed the exam? Sister Xu, this is a great joy. Your family has two college students, which is the only one in our North County."
Xu Fang said, "Ji Ke is better. Speaking of Ji Ling, it's not a happy event to pass the exam after repeating a year, but I finally passed the exam."
"Sister Xu, you can't say that. How many years have you repeated the exam and you still can't pass the exam? Ji Ling is very good."
The two stood chatting at the counter, and soon everyone in the department store knew that Xu Fang's two daughters had passed the university entrance exam, and the youngest daughter had passed the key line. There were constant congratulations, but no one asked Ji Ling how many points she had scored in the exam.
In everyone's mind, Ji Ling's usual appearance would be good enough to be admitted to a technical secondary school.
If Xu Fang really did well in the exam, how could Xu Fang not mention it.
At noon, Xu Fang didn't eat at work. After ordering food in the cafeteria, she looked at the soap she left behind, hesitated, went to get another piece of soap, and went home with two pieces of soap.
As soon as I came back, I saw a boy standing outside the gate, looking into the courtyard.
Xu Fang frowned and walked over, "Who are you looking for?"
She seldom walked around with people in the family yard, and didn't know many people, but the boy turned his head, and she recognized him as the child of the farm machinery manager's family.
"Are you from Manager Liu's family? Are you busy?"
Liu Zili saw Xu Fang, pursed his lips, and took a lot of effort to gather courage, "Auntie, I'm looking for Ji Ling."
Xu Fang's face sank, "Ji Ling is not at home."
A good mood immediately sank down.
"Auntie, Ji Ling owes me 100 yuan. It's been several months and I haven't paid it back." Liu Zili thought of the humiliation he suffered in the morning, and the little love that sprouted turned into anger, and he directly asked Xu Fang for justice. , "Ji Ling not only owes me a hundred dollars, but also owes a lot of money to her male classmates."
Liu Zili is not stupid.
He didn't mention the money he owed, but also said that it was all the money from the male students.
What it implies is self-evident.
Xu Fang was disgusted at first that a boy came to the house, so she didn't want to say more, and then she fell silent when she heard what the boy from the Liu family said.
Embarrassment flooded her face in an instant.
What she thought was that she was still here hating people.
But listen to this, what do people think of her?
Xu Fang wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
After being silent for a while, she held back her anger and asked, "How much does she owe in total?"
Liu Zili, "There are more than five hundred, right? This is only what I know, there should be others I don't know."
"You know?"
Liu Zili did not dare to meet Xu Fang's gaze, "Well, Ji Ling can tell me everything."
In this day and age, men and women walk so close, hearing that the two seem to be very close, Xu Fangqi's body began to tremble slightly.
"Okay, I see, you go back first, I'll ask her to send you the money tonight." Xu Fang restrained her anger, sent the person away, and as soon as she entered the room, she sat on the bed limply.
Ji Ke walked in with a book, "Mom, why are you so pale? Why are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Daughter's warm hands slowly spread from her forehead to her body, and Xu Fang seemed to have just come alive.
"Mom, if you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital for an examination."
Yes, she also has a well-behaved and sensible little daughter.
Xu Fang pulled out a smile, comforted her daughter and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I ordered food, let's eat first."
Ji Ke knew that his mother was lying, seeing her mother's complexion, she was obedient and didn't ask any more questions.
When the food was served, Ji Ke said, "My sister hasn't come back yet, let me save a portion for her."
"Don't worry about her, just treat her as dead." Xu Fang silently picked up a piece of meat for her daughter, and picked up a meal by herself, "Eat."
Ji Ke quietly said no more.
Ji Ling had no money in her pocket. She thought about how to make soap, but the materials needed still cost money. Right now, she can only move the bricks first, and when Ji Yong comes back, she reaches out to ask him for the principal.
When she got home, Xu Fang's mother and daughter had finished eating and cleaned up.
Ji Ling felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at home. Xu Fang was in the room by herself, sitting by the bed with a stern face, as if she was waiting for her to come back.
"You come in."
Ji Ling entered the room obediently, and when Xu Fang said to close the door, she did as well.
Afterwards, Xu Fang asked, "What's going on with you and the Liu family boy?"
Ji Ling understood why Xu Fang was angry, and she knew why, "I borrowed money from him, that's all."
The matter of borrowing money cannot be hidden, and Ji Ling is simply dissatisfied.
"Aside from borrowing money? I'm asking about things other than borrowing money." Xu Fang suppressed her voice, and she was still concerned about Westinghouse's youngest daughter.
Ji Ling frowned, "Then what do you think Liu Zili and I can do besides borrowing money?"
"Is there anything you don't know? Do you still need me to say?"
"I don't know, so tell me." Ji Ling was not out of temper, "Or do you just want me to say that Liu Zili and I have something shameful?"
"You said I was pouring dirty water on you?"
Ji Ling said, "What else?"
