Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

He had seen the master being gentle, speaking softly to Xiao Yuer and smiling at his master's wife.

However, when I'm with Jinzhen, we still quarrel more often.

"Ruocai, you make me feel disappointed," although there was dissatisfaction in Shen Tunan's words, there was a smile in his eyes, and his face was full of happiness when he looked at the two of them, without any sign of anger.

Wei Ruolai quickly picked up the sour plum soup on the table and said, "Then I'll make myself a bowl as a punishment," and drank it all in one breath.

"Just because I'm alone, you're happy, right?"

When Shen Tunan thought of the fish and the dictionary, he missed them very much in his heart.

When Jinzhen saw her brother's lonely expression, she felt a little regretful. She was afraid that Yu'er and sister-in-law would not be able to see her when she got married.

My sister-in-law had been looking forward to what she would look like at her wedding.

Wei Ruolai guessed what Jinzhen was thinking, pulled him closer to her, and whispered in her ear, "I've heard that there's something called a video camera abroad that can record weddings. How about we pay for our husband to help buy one?"

Shen Tunan was not far from the two of them. When he heard Ruo Lai mention him, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, why can't I listen to what you are talking about? Now you have a secret, right?"

Ever since Jinzhen got married, he has become more and more distant from me, and even what we say at the dinner table has started to be whispered between us.

Shen Jinzhen thought Ruolai's idea was good, and he didn't argue with his brother anymore. He said excitedly, "Brother, why don't we buy a camera? We can record the scene of Ruolai and I getting married, as well as the trivialities of life, and we can also record them for Yu'er and sister-in-law to watch."

When Jin Zhen mentioned the camera, Shen Tunan thought for a moment, "There is no camera produced in China at the moment. The Nationalist government buys them from abroad. If we buy them now, they will arrive in about two months."

It's still in time, but the price is a bit high. Apart from the money for the wedding banquet, most of the remaining money has been sent to Cishu. Only some servants' wages and daily expenses are left, which cannot be touched.

"Can you ask someone to bring it back?"

After coming back, Jinzhen hardly contacted his friends and neighbors here, for fear that his brother would be implicated because of himself.

What's more, now that my brother has joined the organization, I have to be more careful.

"That's no problem, but Jinzhen, I'm afraid I can't buy it in full, and you guys will have to give me a few hundred dollars."

Shen Jinzhen had no objection to the money issue. It was she and Ruolai who suggested that her brother help with the purchase, even if it meant paying the full amount.

"Okay, I have a salary from the organization, and it will be enough if I pawn some of my jewelry."

Shen Jinzhen estimated that it would cost about a thousand silver dollars. Her salary in the organization was not high, but she could scrape together a few hundred dollars, and by selling some jewelry she could pay off the money in full.

Hearing that Jin Zhen was going to sell the jewelry, Ruo Lai felt a little distressed, "I still have some jewelry, you can keep it and wear it every day in the future, don't sell it."

"Jinzhen, I'm not asking you to pay. I'm just lending it to you first and will pay you back later."

He didn't need to go and sell jewelry. He wasn't so poor that he had to rely on his sister to support the family.

But Shen Jinzhen was a bit stubborn about this matter, so he went upstairs directly to get the money.

She didn't have to sell the jewelry, but she couldn't always spend her brother's money. In the past few years, she had borrowed a lot from her brother in the name of repairing a piano, and had never paid it back.

Wei Ruolai followed Shen Jinzhen upstairs and took out two hundred silver dollars from his luggage.

"Jinzhen, take these to the gentleman first and ask him to help us buy a camera."
