In the end, it turned out that she was overthinking.
Mary Sue's halo did not take effect. What took effect was her great achievements in the battle with Su Yinghuai in the past. Chu Ningyan got some information from Zhou Xunting and directly regarded her as a comrade in the same trench.
Naturally, Ye Zhenzhen would not refuse a like-minded friend.
After only a short while, the two met each other, holding hands and chatting enthusiastically, completely leaving Cui Weizhen and Zhou Xunting aside. The two men did not feel left out at all, but were happy and relaxed.
Zhou Xunting, in particular, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a tone of escape, "Fortunately, my brothers and sisters are here today, otherwise I would definitely be whipped."
Cui Weizhen's expression was speechless. He obviously didn't believe that his childhood friend could be so useless - being chased and beaten all over the street by his own wife. Is this still a man?
Zhou Xunting felt weak for a moment. After all, Cui Weizhen was a god who could take his wife to visit Orchid Restaurant, but he was inexplicably shorter in front of him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but asked curiously, "Weizhen, please share with me your experience in being a wife. My sister-in-law's temper does not belong to Ningyan at all, but why does she just listen to you like this?"
Cui Weizhen, who had been attacked by Ye Zhenzhen's eyes not long ago, now put on a reserved air, "I don't have any experience to speak of. The husband is the guide of his wife. It's normal for Zhenzhen to listen to me."
Damn it.
This kid deserves a beating!
Zhou Xunting grinded his teeth and said sarcastically, "Don't forget, you still owe me a thousand taels. If Ningyan finds out, she will definitely think that I used the money to live in debauchery. Brother, I will risk my life to lend it to you."
Yin Zi, you actually don’t even want to tell the truth!”
Cui Weizhen: "..."
"Didn't you say it's your private money?"
Zhou Xunting looked at him in disbelief, "Do you believe this? My money is all taken care of by Ning Yan, how can I save so much private money? It must have been taken from home."
Isn't this person too miserable?
Zhou Xunting saw the clues and asked in a subtle tone, "Do you have a lot of private money?"
Cui Weizhen said reservedly: "It's not bad. Zhen Zhen gives me fifty taels every month, but I use it all to buy gifts for her."
Zhou Xunting: "..." Envy, jealousy and hatred from a married man!
"I finally understand why my sister-in-law is so easy to talk to. I spend all my pocket money to please people. It would be weird if I didn't get bribed by you. You kid hasn't changed at all. As long as you put some thought into it, you can always deceive people."
"I'm sincere." Cui Weizhen defended himself.
"I know, you are really lying."
Zhou Xunting added in a weird way, no matter how he looked at Cui Weizhen, he found it distasteful. They were both married women, but they were treated very differently. He was mentally unbalanced.
He secretly made up his mind that when he got his pocket money next month, he would definitely buy a gift for the tigress!
The two men were chatting in such a lively manner that they didn't even notice that Ye Zhenzhen and Chu Ningyan had stopped chatting and raised their ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Ye Zhenzhen finally confirmed that Cui Weizhen's thousand taels of silver was indeed borrowed from the Zhou family - that is, the Zhou family had such a good relationship with the Cui family.
But she didn't expect that Zhou Xunting actually stole this money from Chu Ningyan.
So she was very embarrassed and said quickly, "It's really shameful, Ningyan, I will definitely pay you back this money next month."
Only then did Chu Ningyan realize that her money had been stolen.
If she hadn't overheard these words, she would definitely have misunderstood, but if it was used by the Cui family to help the Cui family, she had no objection at all, so her attitude was very tolerant, "The capital is big and living is not easy. Living in Beijing costs money everywhere."
Silver, you just moved here, it’s normal that you don’t have enough money, you don’t have to worry, you can pay back this money anytime.”
One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Chu Ningyan is so generous, which shows that she really treats them as friends.
Ye Zhenzhen was greatly moved, and her heart towards her became even more sincere.
The two new and old friends got along well and had lunch together before parting ways. Zhou Xunting was dragged home by Chu Ningyan to teach him a lesson, while Cui Weizhen had to continue shopping with Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't come out today just to hang out. She was still short of carriages and horses for traveling at home, so she just came out today to solve the problem.
The other street was a carriage and horse shop. Ye Zhenzhen went directly to the largest carpentry shop, handed the carriage design she had designed long ago to the shopkeeper, paid the deposit and left.
After the carriage is ready, the store will naturally send it to Cui Mansion, and then just ask Zhang San to follow up.
After leaving the store, Ye Zhenzhen said, "Choose another horse, Brother Zhen, do you know how to read horses?"
Cui Weizhen doesn't know how to read horses, but he has seen many good horses, and he can always guarantee that he will not make mistakes and pick old, weak, sick and disabled horses.
When the two came to the horse market, a turbid and mixed fishy smell came from time to time. Generally, people with a certain status would not come to such a dirty and messy market in person. In the past, Cui Weizhen would not even come close.
But after all, he was also someone who had set up a stall with Ye Zhenzhen in the market. He also spent eight or nine days in the examination room. His mysophobia was not as severe as before, and he could barely adapt to the conditions here.
Ye Zhenzhen looked around with interest.
It is said to be a horse market, but in fact it is not just horses for sale, there are also many livestock for sale, such as cattle, donkeys, sheep... etc. Of course, the most popular ones are horses.
The horses that were put up for sale were naturally handsome, strong and vigorous. Ye Zhenzhen was dazzled by the choices, but she didn't particularly like them, so she just didn't bother and just followed Cui Weizhen.
Unexpectedly, he ignored all the horses and stood in front of a thin and tired horse with an indistinguishable complex expression.
The horse, which was originally listless, suddenly lit up in its tired eyes the moment it saw him, snorted excitedly, leaned its head and rubbed against him in a very affectionate manner.
Cui Weizhen touched the horse's head before asking the owner, "Excuse me, how much does this horse cost?"
Not only Ye Zhenzhen suspected that she had heard wrongly, but the seller also doubted his ears.
His horse was as skinny as wood and looked like it was about to die. It had been on the horse market for three days with no one paying attention to it. He was about to give up, but he didn't expect that a buyer would come.
"Mr. Lang, you are so discerning. This horse of mine is still a bloody horse. It can travel thousands of miles in a day. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hard to find a lot of money. Considering that we are destined, I will not charge you more money. I just
For two hundred taels, this thousand-mile horse is yours."
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes widened.
This seller is still bragging that he doesn't need to pay taxes. He boasts that a horse that is as skinny as wood and dying is a thousand-mile horse, and even shouts out a high price of two hundred taels. Does he still think that they are being taken advantage of because they don't understand anything?
