I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 129 - 126: Eldest Cousin Really Is Rich

"Yan Jinzhi, one jar holds five liters, five jars are twenty-five liters, plus my wine has health benefits. Aren’t you afraid of getting a nosebleed from drinking so much?"

Yan Jinzhi was speechless this time and chose to surrender.

"Alright, I’ll distribute it later."

"That’s more like it. I’ve made some plum wine, and once it’s fermented enough, I’ll send you some to try first."

"Okay." The previous frustration instantly vanished. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"By the way, can you take me to Nanxi City?"

Huh?

"Sure. But are you going to Suburb No. 5 or Taohua Lane No. 66?"

Yan Jinzhi didn’t directly answer and instead asked, "Are you going to the county committee courtyard?"

Jiang Mingyue paused for a moment and nodded, "I am."

"Then let’s go to Suburb No. 5 first. I’ll take you on my bike."

"Alright."

Having set the destination, Jiang Mingyue took his hand and crossed the boundary.

At Suburb No. 5, Jiang Mingyue landed in the yard, casually picked up a basket, while Yan Jinzhi naturally went to push the bicycle.

"In the future, you should store your transport in the space."

"Huh? I was worried it would be inconvenient for you to get to the city."

"Aren’t you here?"

Jiang Mingyue thought about the current situation and fell silent instantly.

Having traveled here, riding on the back seat of a bicycle for the first time, Jiang Mingyue found it quite novel. Passing through the shade of the street trees, the sunlight dappled over people, and the breeze created a rustling sound in the leaves. It felt like walking through a tree-lined path on a school campus back in student days.

Wait a minute, why did a scene similar to now flash in her mind again?

Indeed, it was a campus with perfect afternoon sunlight, a couple riding a bike along a tree-lined path. The girl sat on the back seat, holding onto the boy in front, telling some story that made the boy’s side profile look extremely gentle. However, as the scene shifted, Jiang Mingyue directly faced the couple’s faces.

She froze! Wasn’t the man in front of her this little Yan Zhi? And the girl was her.

Jiang Mingyue felt speechless: Was she too fond of Yan Jinzhi deep in her heart, to the point of daydreaming with her eyes open during the day?

"We’re here!"

Jiang Mingyue looked up and sure enough, it was the familiar place where Uncle Ma was explaining directions to someone.

Yan Jinzhi parked the bike, and Jiang Mingyue got off with the basket, "If you have things to do, just go ahead. Give a shout when you’re done, and I should be able to come pick you up."

Yan Jinzhi smiled and agreed.

The pair temporarily parted ways.

Uncle Ma finished dealing with the person asking for directions, looked up, and saw Jiang Mingyue, just as Yan Jinzhi rode past.

"Hey, young man..."

"Uncle Ma, don’t stop him; he’s a friend of my father’s."

Yan Jinzhi in front: "..."

"Oh, oh, oh! Then go ahead!" Immediately, the focus shifted to Jiang Mingyue.

"You brat, how long has it been since you came by? If I died, my body would have decomposed by now."

Jiang Mingyue immediately pulled out her trump card: a jar of homemade grape wine.

"You think I’m not doing this for you? I know you love wine. I made this myself. There’s a century-old grapevine in the village; I harvested it and let it ferment for a few months. I tried it yesterday. It’s good wine; you’ll definitely like it."

Uncle Ma was about to grunt in discontent, but seeing the jar of wine made his eyes light up, and hearing the girl’s caring words made any discontent disappear.

"Wine, oh! Good, good, good! You’re such a thoughtful girl. But you can’t just have wine; what about some snacks to go with it? Like the marinated dishes from last time—do you still have some?" He asked the second half of the question cautiously.

Jiang Mingyue heartlessly waved her hand, "No!"

The old man instantly looked dejected, but he quickly recalled something, hurriedly went to the duty room, and grabbed a cloth bundle to give to Jiang Mingyue.

"Take it; buy whatever you want. Don’t live a miserable life."

Jiang Mingyue knew it was probably a few months’ worth of wages again. She originally didn’t want it, but after considering that the old man had no children, it would be better to help him save it for his retirement.

"Then I won’t be polite. There’s no marinated chicken, but I have something else."

Jiang Mingyue said, pulling out two roasted pine chicken, two roasted rabbit, a bottle of jam, and twenty white buns, and instructed Uncle Ma on how to eat them.

Uncle Ma was so moved his eyes turned red.

"Still, you think of me, dear girl."

"Alright, I’m heading back. Is my dad around?" Jiang Mingyue glanced at the second floor of Mr. Jiang’s office and released her spiritual power, but didn’t sense anyone.

"Your dad went to the provincial city for some business."

"Alright then, I’ve left a jar of wine for him too. Uncle Ma, please pass it on to him for me."

"Hmph!" Although he was a bit displeased, knowing that he had more goodies than that brat made Uncle Ma feel comfortable again.

After leaving the county committee, Jiang Mingyue quickly headed to the mechanical factory, stopped her uncle who was about to go back for a rest, and gave him a jar of wine, along with the same two chickens and two rabbits, which warmed her uncle’s heart. What’s the point of having two sons? Mingyue will be the real daughter in the future, and Jiang Family’s uncle started pondering next month’s salary, planning to use it for Yueyue.

Over at Jiang Mingan’s, Jiang Mingyue stayed a little longer, briefly telling Jiang Mingan about the recent happenings at home.

Jiang Mingan wasn’t surprised at all. Wherever his cousin was, miracles seemed to follow.

Before leaving, he naturally tricked his sister out of a bunch of food.

Ten roasted pine chickens, fifteen roasted rabbits, three bottles of jam, plus thirty buns, two bags of rice, a bag of sweet potatoes, four live chickens, and four live rabbits. Even the fishpond’s not fully grown fish were taken—eight of them.

Jiang Mingyue was completely convinced by this cousin. Fortunately, he knew how to calm her down, pushing over a box.

Upon opening, there was a box of small yellow croakers and a hundred thousand large union currency notes.

Thinking of her hard-earned savings of only fifty-six thousand from farming, she didn’t want to speak anymore.

You have to admit, some people, even without cheats, can gather all the money in the world.

Jiang Mingyue rode back to Suburb No. 5, still hearing no word from Yan Jinzhi. Was her guess wrong?

If the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain. Jiang Mingyue decided instead to leave a message for Yan Jinzhi. If someone saw her right now, it would look like she was talking to the air, like a crazy person.

Jiang Mingyue: "Hello! Little Yan Zhi, can you hear me?"

Yan Jinzhi, who was playing chess with Secretary Bai, suddenly heard her voice in his ear.

"Cough, cough... Uncle Bai, you lost."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." The test was successful, proving they could indeed communicate. Jiang Mingyue promptly left a message and headed back to Qingshan Village.

Because she heard a commotion in the front yard.

"Shen Fanghua, you shameless woman, what’s the point of sheltering that impostor? Murder is murder. Hurry up and call her out, or I’ll be rude to you!"

"Oh! Auntie, so impressive! Who are you going to be rude to? If you’ve got guts, say it again." From the new house’s second floor, Jiang Mingyue came downstairs leisurely at some point.
