29: That's going to be quite a show.
She didn't care. Anyway, she didn't take that jade pendant. This marriage was decided by Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu themselves; she never agreed to it.
So Xu Yang couldn't be considered her Fiancé. Even if this Xu Yang truly was Grandpa and Grandma Xu's Grandson, she wouldn't acknowledge him.
This Xu Yang clearly has an ambiguous relationship with Wu Jiaojiao.
Xiao Yueyue seems to be deeply in love with Xu Yang and had previously said she was coming to find him.
She suddenly remembered that Xu Yang's address had been snatched by Xiao Dong and the others.
If Xiao Yueyue came to find Xu Yang and made him marry her, that would truly be a good show to watch.
"I need to talk to you. Let's go outside first," Xu Yang said to Wu Jiaojiao.
Hearing Xu Yang's words, Wu Jiaojiao nodded, her face slightly red, and walked outside.
"Jiaojiao, wait for me!" Wu Jiaojiao's friend immediately called out.
Chen Ke watched Wu Jiaojiao and her friends leave, then glared hatefully at Xiao Niannian before also walking out.
"You just wait for me."
"Okay, I'll wait."
Zhao Tie glanced at Xiao Niannian and also walked outside.
An old woman walked over and said,
"Little girl, you are truly amazing."
Hearing the Grandma's praise, Xiao Niannian smiled.
"Thank you."
"This little girl has courage, strength, and she's so beautiful. She's not afraid to face several people alone. Truly remarkable."
From afar, Xiao Niannian heard several people praising her.
Grandma Xiao looked at Xu Yang's back, then glanced at Xiao Niannian, saying with some uncertainty,
"Niannian, that Comrade Xu just now, Grandma seemed to hear someone call him Xu Yang. Could he be your Fiancé?"
Hearing her Grandma's words, Xiao Niannian quickly supported Grandma Xiao and said,
"Grandma, please don't say such things anymore. I have no engagement with him at all, and I won't acknowledge him as my Fiancé..."
Grandma Xiao heard this, glanced at Xiao Niannian, and remembered how Xu Yang had just accused Niannian without rhyme or reason, and even laid hands on her. Such a person was too muddled.
Niannian had refused before, even saying that the jade pendant would be returned or the matter simply treated as if it never existed. But the second brother and the others seemed to have their hearts blinded by lard.
"Okay, Grandma will listen to you."
Grandma Xiao nodded.
The Sales Clerk had been afraid that Xiao Niannian and Xu Yang fighting would damage the counter's goods. She had stood by, extremely anxious, just about to shout for them to stop, but then they all left.
"comrade, this is the tailored suit fabric for you."
The Sales Clerk folded the suit fabric and handed it to Xiao Niannian.
"Grandma, don't we have the tools for making clothes? Let's buy another set of tools for making clothes." After saying that, Xiao Niannian pointed to the scissors, rulers, soft measuring tapes, and several other items in the display case.
"I'll take a set of these tools."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, the Sales Clerk said,
"Scissors are five yuan each, and require a scissor coupon..."
"Okay."
Xiao Niannian pulled out a ten-yuan Great Unity note and a scissor coupon from her pocket. The coupons from Wang Dazhuang's family were varied and diverse. They came in handy.
Grandma Xiao looked at her Granddaughter, opened her mouth, but seeing so many people around, she swallowed her words.
When did her Granddaughter have so many coupons?
The Sales Clerk gave Xiao Niannian one yuan and five mao in change, and then put about ten tools in a cloth bag for Xiao Niannian.
"comrade, these are the tools you bought."
"Thank you."
Xiao Niannian carried these items, looked at Grandma Xiao, and said with a smile,
"Grandma, let's go buy other fabrics, local specialties, and pastries for Uncle Xiao Shu."
"Okay."
Grandma Xiao hadn't forgotten this.
She immediately walked to the adjacent counter. The fabric here cost either one yuan or two yuan per meter. Grandma Xiao picked out several more fabrics, two for Xiao Niannian, and the other two for the tenth younger sister-in-law's family, perfect for making clothes for adults and children.
"Grandma, look at these pastries. They're in an iron box, so they can be kept for many days."
Hearing her Granddaughter's words, Grandma Xiao picked one. She also chose another type of sponge cake and bought several other items.
Wu Jiaojiao followed Xu Yang out of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and went to a nearby place.
"Jiaojiao, I've already written to my family about us. I want to marry you..." Xu Yang said this, looking at Wu Jiaojiao with deep affection.
Hearing Xu Yang's words, Wu Jiaojiao's face turned even redder, and she stamped her foot.
"I never said I would marry you."
When she said this, she still had a lingering tone, displaying the shyness of a young girl to the fullest.
"That engagement, I never acknowledged it. That Xiao Family indeed saved our family, but a life-saving grace can be repaid with other things, not with my entire life. I only have you in my heart."
Xu Yang looked at Wu Jiaojiao with deep affection.
Wu Jiaojiao's face became even redder.
"When you've handled that matter, we'll talk again."
Wu Jiaojiao's family background was good, but compared to the Xu Family in the capital, it was still far inferior. There were several excellent cadres in the Division Headquarters. Wu Jiaojiao was initially interested in Lu Jing, but Lu Jing was very cold towards Female Comrades. She had tried to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Jing before, but he ignored her.
She was always doted on in her daily life, so she had never experienced being treated coldly. She felt uncomfortable, so her attitude towards Lu Jing also became cold, and she became more enthusiastic towards Xu Yang than before.
A few days ago, Xu Yang told her that his Grandparents had promised his marriage to repay someone's life-saving grace, setting up an engagement with the Granddaughter of that family.
Wu Jiaojiao felt quite unwell. Xu Yang swore to her that he would definitely make things clear to his family and would never acknowledge that engagement.
She heard that the other party was also from the countryside, so Wu Jiaojiao also had some dislike for country folk.
Her mother also wanted her to marry Xu Yang, so they could establish a connection with the Xu Family in the capital, and their Wu Family and maternal grandfather Fan Family could also benefit.
Her father was currently a city cadre, and if she married Xu Yang, it would be easier for her father to get promoted.
Seeing Wu Jiaojiao like this, Xu Yang nodded.
He then asked about what had just happened.
"What was that all about just now?"
Hearing Xu Yang ask about the earlier incident, Wu Jiaojiao was a bit unhappy. Xu Yang had clearly come to help her, but he didn't do anything to that woman, and it seemed like that woman had won. But she didn't want to appear bad in front of Xu Yang, so she explained,
"That was a misunderstanding, but that Female Comrade was a bit excessive."
Hearing this, Xu Yang hummed in acknowledgment. In his heart, he also developed a bit more dislike for Xiao Niannian.
A Female Comrade like Jiaojiao rarely gets into conflicts with people. It's that Chen Ke who has a bad temper and has gotten into conflicts several times.
"In the future, keep your distance from Chen Ke. Don't let her influence you."
