Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 886: 220: Those unknown past events!_2

"I trust you," Ni Yang took out two stacks of cash from his bag.

"What are you doing?" Xiaozhou said.

"Down payment," Ni Yang slightly raised his eyebrows, "I can’t have you working for nothing."

Even brothers settle accounts clearly, Ni Yang, although having a good relationship with Xiaozhou, never thought of taking advantage of him.

Xiaozhou chuckled, "You’re reminding me of the first time we met."

Back then, when he first met Ni Yang, his initial impression of her was of a very gentle beauty, but when it came to paying, she was as straightforward as a man.

She paid the 300 yuan deposit without even frowning.

Until now, Ni Yang was still very generous.

At that time, Xiaozhou could never have imagined that one day he would become good brothers with Ni Yang.

Ni Yang looked up and thought for a moment, "Thinking about it, we’ve known each other for over two years, right?"

Xiaozhou nodded and sighed, "Time really flies, more than two years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

"Yes," Ni Yang also seemed somewhat nostalgic, "time goes by too quickly."

Xiaozhou then asked, "When do you plan on tying the knot with my brother?"

At first, Xiaozhou wasn’t optimistic about Ni Yang’s relationship with Mo Qishen. Unexpectedly, over the past two years, instead of fading, their affection had grown even stronger.

Ni Yang said, "We’ll get it when it naturally happens, no rush for now."

"My brother will turn thirty after the new year!" Xiaozhou was anxious for Mo Qishen.

Their classmates from the same year, many of them had already married and had children.

"It’s like you’re not considering me as your brother," Ni Yang patted Xiaozhou’s shoulder, "don’t worry, your brother Ni isn’t the kind of person who abandons a relationship."

Xiaozhou scratched his head, "But..."

Ni Yang looked at Xiaozhou, "No buts. I remember you’re classmates with Mo Qishen, right? Instead of worrying about him, you should worry about yourself. Look at you, still single and without even a girlfriend, and you have the nerve to compare with Mo Qishen?"

Xiaozhou: "..." That hit a nerve.

The melody of "Little Town Story" wafted through the air, and Ni Yang continued, "Where did you buy this old-school phonograph? The sound quality is pretty good."

"From the second-hand market," Xiaozhou said, "If you like, I can keep an eye out for you."

"Sounds good," Ni Yang nodded, "These old record players are perfect for listening to operas."

The times were changing, and what people currently revered were radios and televisions, and factories had long since stopped producing these old record players. It was hard to even find a place to buy them.

"Listening to operas? Which ones?" Xiaozhou furrowed his brows slightly.

Ni Yang started counting on her fingers, "Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Kunqu Opera, and the Huangmei Opera from Huizhou, whatever you like!"

Xiaozhou said speechlessly, "Who listens to operas these days? You’re living like my mom!"

The 1980s was a decade where television shows and movies soared in popularity.

Only the older generation enjoyed the yiyi yaya of traditional opera.

Ni Yang said with a smile, "Different people have different hobbies. By the way, remember to take care of that matter for me, I have to go now."

"No problem," Xiaozhou saw Ni Yang out to the door.

"When do you think you’ll have it figured out?" Ni Yang continued to ask.

"Um," Xiaozhou thought for a moment and then continued, "As long as it happened in Sijiu City, there’s nothing I can’t find out. I should have some results in about two or three days. It’s just that the overseas stuff is a bit troublesome."

Ni Yang nodded, "Okay, I got it. Goodbye."

Seeing Ni Yang still riding that old bicycle, Xiaozhou said, "Ni, you’ve made quite a bit of money, why are you still riding this beat-up old bike?"

"What beat-up old bike," Ni Yang said, "I bought this bike just two years ago, it’s still new, okay?"

Ni Yang took good care of things; her bicycle was almost as good as new.

Xiaozhou continued, "I think only a small car is worthy of your status."

Others might not know about Ni Yang’s current wealth, but Xiaozhou was well aware.

Ni Yang had many businesses under her, including a Noodle Restaurant, Milk Tea Shop, skincare shop, and the prestigious Restaurant Phoenix among others.

She was the undisputed number one amongst all women in Sijiu City, and even looking across the whole of China, it was difficult to find a woman on par with Ni Yang.

"Although the small car is good," Ni Yang said, "it doesn’t have the deep connection that I have with my little Phoenix."
