"Exactly! What advice does this gentleman have?" Jiang Xue nodded and met the man’s gaze. It was clear that the man in front of her was not someone easy to deal with, but Jiang Xue was no pushover either.
The man noticed Jiang Xue wasn’t intimidated by his demeanor and suddenly laughed, saying to Jiang Xue, "You’re good!"
At this time, Ming Lan tugged the man and said, "Ah Hai, let’s go!"
She was planning to deal with Jiang Xue, but not at this moment. Moreover, since she ran into Ah Hai today, she didn’t want her mood spoiled because of Jiang Xue.
"Alright!" Ah Hai nodded and left with Ming Lan.
"Xue’er, that man just now isn’t a good person. Be careful if you encounter him again," Mu Siwu reminded Jiang Xue, watching Ah Hai and Ming Lan’s departing figures.
"Dad, I understand." Jiang Xue agreed with a smile. It was apparent that the man was someone Ming Lan had found as a helper or, more precisely, a backer.
"Let’s go and look at some clothes."
The family happily went to the clothing store. Jiang Xue was generous and bought two sets of new clothes for each person. Besides buying clothes for her parents, Jiang Xue also bought a set for herself, her child, and Mu Qiancheng.
As they were about to leave, she spotted a coat for the elderly that seemed quite suitable for Mr. Mu and bought it too, planning to mail it to him the next day.
After shopping for most of the morning, everyone’s hands were full, and only then did Jiang Xue reluctantly lead everyone home.
Back home, the elderly were quite exhausted. Buying clothes seemed easy, but it was tiring. Thankfully, it was only once a year; otherwise, they wouldn’t be willing to go.
Seeing the elders were tired, Jiang Xue told them to rest while she went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
After lunch, Jiang Xue took a break, then went out alone to buy New Year’s gifts to send to Mr. Chen and others.
No matter what, Mr. Chen had done her a great favor. Without him, Jiang Xue wouldn’t be where she was today. Therefore, the New Year’s gift had to be sent and had to be a good one.
Jiang Xue went to the largest market in Xu City, bought a few good cigars, a few bottles of fine liquor, and included the wild boar meat that had been cured and brought back from Mu Qiancheng’s troop when she returned home. The total came to nearly a thousand yuan. Official source ıs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
After buying everything, Jiang Xue didn’t take them home but placed them directly in her space, intending to take them out once she reached the destination.
After purchasing Mr. Chen’s gifts, Jiang Xue also bought a set for Manager Yang and Elder Xiao, then carried them home.
Returning home, Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua saw the items Jiang Xue bought and knew she was preparing New Year’s gifts, so they didn’t say much. However, Bai Yuhua did ask Jiang Xue who she was preparing gifts for and then mentioned a few relatives who also needed gifts.
Jiang Xue noted them all down, planning to go to the mall again the next day to buy everything.
She hadn’t felt the need for a car before, but after this shopping trip, Jiang Xue was considering buying one. Otherwise, carrying things home was too tiring.
Moreover, these items couldn’t just be stored in the space; even if she wanted to slack off, she couldn’t.
Therefore, this big shopping trip made Jiang Xue eager to learn how to drive. So, she immediately called Shangguan Wenbin, asking him to return to Xu City as soon as the new year was over to teach her to drive.
Hearing that Jiang Xue wanted to learn to drive, Shangguan Wenbin agreed with a smile.
After buying the New Year’s gifts, Jiang Xue specifically went back to the countryside to deliver the gifts to the relatives Bai Yuhua had mentioned.
After delivering the relatives’ gifts, Jiang Xue hurried to the county town and went to Chen’s house.
