I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 142 - 139: An: What’s So Great About Getting Married?

Chapter 142: Chapter 139: An: What’s So Great About Getting Married?

The brother from the same village used some connections to find her this job and said she must not mention it again. Naturally, Duan Min, who got the job, kept her mouth shut. But in the department store, she was just a temporary worker. Half a year later, to become a permanent employee, Duan Min repeated her old trick, and this time the protagonist turned into Comrade Xue Hong.

Of course, the result was good, and she got what she wished for.

Since then, Ms. Duan Min felt she had grasped the switch of fate. There was nothing she couldn’t achieve if she set her mind to it.

After Xue Hong became a vegetative state, she suddenly lost her support, so she searched for a new candidate, but this time she couldn’t get what she wanted.

Vice Manager Li, a man over fifty, had been secretly competing with Zhuang Yunshan for years, but he always lost. A man like him, who couldn’t even admit others’ excellence, what could he offer Duan Min?

Even when Duan Min pestered him for material compensation, like asking for a sewing machine, this Vice President Li always dodged the issue, leaving Duan Min frustrated but unable to act out due to his position.

Jiang Mingyue thought, if you don’t dare to act out, then let me help you.

So when Jiang Ming’an came, Jiang Mingyue took her brother to the post office to send a complaint letter.

See how kind I am, with your attitude towards me, I can still help you without holding a grudge, truly a model of a good person.

Jiang Ming’an gave a thumbs up to his sister; he and Zhuang Yunshan had long wanted to deal with these two. One of them wasn’t serving customers properly at the counter, had a terrible attitude, and was a bad influence on the counter staff. The other was enjoying unwarranted benefits, just relying on his mentor in the province to speak up for him. If he had time to deal with these small fry, he wouldn’t have let them bounce around under his eyes long ago.

This is good now.

"Brother, are you very free?"

"What tone is that? Are you complaining about me?"

Of course, she was complaining. She could have stepped over that courtyard directly, but with this "drag," it was different. She had to take a long detour around half of Nanxi City.

"No, being able to sit on the back seat of big brother’s bike and feel the wind is the greatest honor of my life. Just don’t know if the peach blossoms of your department store will want to tear me apart when they see it?"

"Ha! When did I have peach blossoms?"

"Just a guess. With my brother’s good looks, any girl would be infatuated. By the way, big cousin, you better find yourself a wife soon." So she can manage you a bit. Poor thing! Two lives and never experienced love, what’s the use of having money?

Jiang Ming’an thought, everything about Little Mingyue was great, except her matchmaking tone, just like those professors in the past life.

"I’m not getting married. What’s so good about marriage? Having a daughter as annoying as you? I’d lose ten years of my life."

Jiang Mingyue didn’t want to talk to this brother destined to be single anymore. It was the same in the past life; whenever marriage was mentioned, he would immediately get prickly. Although not to the point of hurting people, his indifferent attitude was really infuriating.

"Jiang Ming’an, just shut up!"

Jiang Ming’an in front closed his mouth awkwardly, knowing when to stop. It wouldn’t be good if he provoked someone to jump off the bike later.

"Wait, I’ll take you to a place first."

Jiang Mingyue had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, it was another big courtyard.

A big courtyard she couldn’t even live in.

When today’s second land deed got into her hands, Jiang Mingyue was already numb, sneering: What’s the use of sending courtyards? Isn’t it better to marry someone to share joys and sorrows with?

This man, without elders to manage him, isn’t good, but the uncle can’t control this one.

Sigh! Worries me to death.

But the next second, all of Jiang Mingyue’s melancholic emotions cleared out, replaced by astonishment.

"Do you like it?"

When the door opened, there were more than twenty large wooden boxes inside, resembling the scene in the basement of No. 66 Taohua Lane before.

Jiang Mingyue raised her hand, and all the boxes opened. The first box full of small yellow croakers delighted Jiang Mingyue thoroughly.

My God! How many grown men would it take to lift these? It’s a good thing she’s strong; this is way bigger than the two boxes her cousin gave her before. Looking at the other boxes, they’re either porcelain, ancient paintings, or antique folding fans, nose snuff bottles, copper mirrors, and a few boxes of dazzling jewelry. My God! In the future, any single item from this could provide for a lifetime.

"Brother, you’re amazing!"

Jiang Ming’an folded his arms proudly, lifting his chin with conceited arrogance.

"Of course, do you even know who your brother is? Alright, pack it up quickly. If I receive more goods later, just pack them here. This is No. 16 Wutong Street, and as for that courtyard at No. 42 Magpie Street, let’s use it as a grain warehouse."

"Okay, I got it. Brother, aren’t you leaving?"

"Not leaving, why? Do you have some shady affairs to hide from me?"

"Brother, if you don’t want your mouth, you can donate it."

Jiang Ming’an burst out laughing, shaking his shoulders.

"Alright, don’t be mad. Clean up, and I’ll go with you, accompany my sister today."

Hearing her brother’s genuine and somewhat guilty words, Jiang Mingyue’s emotions filled up.

Yes, since crossing over till now, nearly half a year, she and her brother haven’t spent time together properly, not a single day like those indulgent days in the past life.

But passing a restaurant and smelling the aroma of food from inside, they realized they hadn’t even had lunch, and it was already dinner time.

Jiang Ming’an thought he was regressing, to have overlooked such a thing. In their previous life, his sister never had to suffer like this.

Jiang Mingyue didn’t feel it was tough. After all, she’d grabbed a lot of money today; she just marveled at how fast time flew.

"You find a good spot to sit, I’ll go buy the food." After all, he knew all of his sister’s preferences.

Soon, Jiang Ming’an brought over two bowls of rice.

In a while, the window attendant called out that the food was ready.

Jiang Ming’an still wouldn’t let his sister get up and ran back and forth himself.

Stir-fried pork with green peppers, minced meat with water bamboo, cold mixed century egg, dry-fried shredded potatoes, and spinach tofu soup.

Each dish was well portioned. If it were in the past life, these five dishes and two large bowls of rice could feed her brother for a week.

As a result, she ate a quarter, and the rest went into her brother’s stomach.

"Yueyue, do you want some buns?"

Jiang Mingyue knowingly asked, "You aren’t full?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Jiang Ming’an directly answered with actions, coming back with four big meat buns and handing one to Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue watched her brother, not saying a word, and yet he still finished all four.

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Impressive!

Passing through Taohua Lane, it was just the time of day when the air was filled with the smell of ordinary life. The residents on the ground floor cooked on the roadside. Those with a little family wealth would put more oil in their stir-fries, and when the wok got hot, the hiss of ingredients hitting the metal accompanied by a few stirs released an aroma that wafted through the lane. Multiply this by a few families, and the fragrance was complete.

After passing this stretch and taking a few turns, they arrived at Pan Zhoucong’s courtyard.

Jiang Mingyue extended her spiritual power, taking a good look for the first time at the layout around Pan Zhoucong’s courtyard.
