51: What kind of story is this?

For ten thousand yuan, Li Zhiyan had always kept this task in mind.

It was normal for him to hug her while pretending to be Aunt Fang's son.

At the same time, Li Zhiyan had anticipated Fang Zhiya's reaction.

So he supported Fang Zhiya's slender waist.

He also used his calves to maintain her standing position.

However, Li Zhiyan didn't dare to continue hugging Fang Zhiya; he still had to be proper with an aunt like her, who was traditional at heart.

Otherwise, there might not be a future.

"Now that you mention it, you two really do look alike."

"Young man, why is your face so red?"

The old lady looked at Fang Zhiya, who was a bit unsteady, and asked with some surprise.

"Maybe it's just too hot outside."

Li Zhiyan took the contract, carefully checked it to make sure there were no traps.

Only then did he let Fang Zhiya sign the contract and pay half a year's rent plus a deposit of 2100 yuan.

"Well, we won't bother you anymore. If you have any issues with water, electricity, or anything else, just knock on the door of 101 on the first floor and find us."

After seeing the two off, Fang Zhiya finally placed her suitcase in the corner.

Thinking about the close contact just now, her legs still felt a bit weak.

Truly good…

Someone who achieves greatness early can only be described as a genius.

"Aunt Fang, I see you still need a lot of things here. How about I go out with you to get them?"

Li Zhiyan knew that Fang Zhiya was indeed in a difficult situation at this time and needed his company.

"Yes, I need pots, bowls, chopsticks, a wok, and so on."

After spending over two thousand yuan, Fang Zhiya's savings were even more stretched. If Li Zhiyan hadn't helped her get back her salary earlier.

Then she would truly be homeless now.

"Then I'll go with you to buy them."

As they left, a passing female neighbor greeted Fang Zhiya and introduced herself, but standing together, Fang Zhiya and her didn't seem to be on the same level.

Both were in their forties, but Aunt Fang's fair skin was captivating.

This woman, however, had dark skin and many freckles on her face.

Li Zhiyan could understand that most middle-aged women in this world were like this; only a few beautiful mature women could freely enjoy life and take good care of themselves.

In her eyes, Li Zhiyan saw some jealousy, which was quite common.

...

Walking on the street, Fang Zhiya's mind kept replaying the moment Li Zhiyan was pressed close to her.

Although it wasn't complete, it was still very striking.

He's just a child, without so many concepts in his mind, which is why he leaned so close.

"Aunt Fang."

"You need to be careful living here from now on. If anything happens, you can call me anytime."

"I don't live too far from here."

"I can come over anytime."

Every word from Li Zhiyan was warm, making Fang Zhiya feel the warmth from this society.

"Li Zhiyan, how about Auntie cooks for you later?"

"Sounds great, Aunt Fang, I haven't tasted your cooking yet."

"Oh, right, we need to find some curtains to solve your privacy issue later."

"Otherwise, it won't be convenient to do anything."

The neighbors next door were a mixed bag, and Li Zhiyan didn't know if anyone was coveting Aunt Fang's body.

However, ensuring privacy was a must.

It would be difficult to boil water for a bath in the future.

Thinking of that scene, Li Zhiyan felt a slight pang of heartache and bent over slightly.

At this moment, a voice buried deep in his soul rang out.

This was a voice that every Chinese person could never forget!

"Two yuan, everything is two yuan!"

"Everything you look at is cheap, everything you buy is a steal."

"For two yuan, you won't get ripped off."

"For two yuan, you won't get scammed."

"Everything is two yuan!"

The brainwashing voice played on a loop.

Li Zhiyan knew that Aunt Fang probably needed a place like this right now.

"Aunt Fang, there's a two-yuan shop ahead. Let's go take a look."

"Hmm, okay."

Fang Zhiya wanted to buy several basins for different purposes, such as a basin for washing her face, a basin for washing her feet, and a basin for...

"This basin seems too soft, it's easy to break."

"Beautiful lady, we have ones for five yuan each here, they're harder."

The soft ones were indeed not very practical.

The hard basins were more reliable, but the extra three yuan made Fang Zhiya feel a bit pained.

Although her family used to be well-off, she had always been very frugal, and now without money or a job, she was naturally even more so.

Finally, she chose four basins and set them aside.

Then, she followed Li Zhiyan to the two-yuan shop to pick out other things.

At this time, two-yuan shops were very popular.

After all, they were genuinely good value, like the physical store version of Pinduoduo.

"Aunt Fang, you need cups, right?"

"You can get two cups here for daily drinking."

"Plates, bowls, and chopsticks are all here."

It was very cost-effective to buy these things at a two-yuan shop, as they usually cost ten yuan or more at a supermarket.

His mom also liked to buy these things at places like this.

"Hmm, this plate is nice."

"Oh, right, there's also a trash can, trash bags, and a broom."

"Mop."

Moving into a new place indeed involved many troublesome things.

So, there were too many things to buy at the moment.

"Aunt Fang, take your time choosing, no need to rush."

"I'll help you carry everything back later."

As Fang Zhiya continued to choose daily necessities, when she intended to buy tissues.

Li Zhiyan stopped her.

"Aunt Fang, for tissues, we should still buy branded ones."

"They're not hygienic..."

There was a big difference between men and women; the production process of some unbranded tissues was truly unspeakable.

They could easily cause gynecological diseases.

It was better to be cautious about such things.

"Auntie understands, Li Zhiyan, you know so much."

The more Fang Zhiya looked at the child in front of her, the more she liked him. Not only did he own his own Internet Cafe at just 18, but he also seemed to know about everything.

The two continued to browse the two-yuan shop.

They saw a pile of very messily arranged books.

Regulation was very lax at this time, so some books in two-yuan shops could be sold directly.

With a glance, Li Zhiyan's adolescent memories were reawakened; he used to love reading books here.

And when he had money, he would buy some books to collect.

He still had a few hidden in his treasure chest at home.

However, as a true gentleman, he never read those messy things; he only read classics...

Fang Zhiya also caught sight of the extremely explicit covers.

The book covers made people blush even more.

"Passion in the Rental House, Night after Night..."

"Life as a Professional Study Companion, That Night..."

"Wife Infertile, That Day the Little Sister-in-Law..."

"The Neighbor's Elder Sister Still Has Her Charms, I Will Commit the Sinful..."

One title after another made Fang Zhiya's face feel hot.
