Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool
Chapter 376 Empty Shell
Listening to the old aunt's nagging assurances, Zhang Xingwang felt relieved. However, this old aunt looked very kind at first glance, and there shouldn't be any dirty things happening to his sister if she followed her.
After a while, the old lady followed the old man to get a letter of introduction. They said that after getting it, they had to go to the hospital to handle the formalities. According to the old man, even if it was an acquaintance, they had to find a decent reason. The matter of taking over the job was still strictly checked, and it would take at least three or four days to complete a set of procedures.
Zhang Xingwang felt that his stubborn sister really treated him as her brother. She was just surprised to see that her mother had issued a letter of introduction, and she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
She didn't interrupt the whole time, and looked like a well-behaved girl who let her brother take charge. After the old lady left, Zhang Xingwang found that she was a little uneasy. She held the corner of her clothes with her little hands and tried to push the cart, as if she wanted to open the stall but didn't dare to...
"From today on, you don't have to sell sweet potatoes anymore. Come with me and I'll buy you some things for school."
"What about the cart? We still have more than ten kilograms of sweet potatoes at home."
"Just leave it here. Your mother will be working in a couple of days. Your family probably won't need it in the future. Just keep it as a souvenir..."
"Brother, as long as you say it, I will listen to you. I will definitely take good care of myself..."
"That's right, call me brother again and I'll buy you some clothes!"
Zhang Xingwang, who had waited for a long time but still couldn't get his attention, could only sigh and say a few words:
"You are really stubborn!"
……
Although the girl didn't call him brother, the matter of a set of clothes was nothing to the rich man Zhang.
The stubborn sister followed Zhang Xingwang out of the door without saying a word. Unexpectedly, there were two boys standing at the door. They were probably about fifteen or sixteen years old and looked very naughty and rebellious.
The stubborn girl spoke up at this moment, standing behind Zhang Xingwang and saying loudly and sternly:
"This is my brother, stay away from me..."
Zhang Xingwang cooperated by posing in a strong and powerful manner, then turned around and asked:
"These two guys always bully you?"
"They always make fun of me. The shorter one even pulled my braids."
After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang felt that it was not a big deal. These two guys were just foul-mouthed. However, if they dared to pull her braids today, they would just do it in a few days. This was not acceptable. Besides, judging from this girl's personality, there should be more to it than that.
But he happened to be standing in front of his sister, and seeing the two boys looking arrogant and unwilling to submit to anyone, he thought he should scare them a little.
He walked over with a ferocious look, pulled up his clothes to show the two of them the thing in his arms, and after watching the two of them fleeing in panic, he called his stubborn sister and continued on their journey.
Unfortunately, the department store was too far away and he had to rush to Aunt Liu's house for dinner, so he took his sister to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative, bought her some stationery and cloth, and asked the old aunt to come back and make a schoolbag for him.
The salesperson was a woman in her thirties, who seemed to be somewhat familiar with the younger sister. After hearing what Zhang Xingwang said, she swiftly took out a set of pencil notebooks.
When the elder sister took the cloth bag and shoes, the younger sister couldn't help it anymore and said seriously that she already had all these and it would be unnecessary to buy them. Her tone was three parts pleading and seven parts coquettish, and Zhang Xingwang almost took out the money out of habit.
Zhang Xingwang first carefully looked at her from head to toe, and the girl didn't dare to raise her head. After a slight chuckle, he replied seriously:
"You seem a little uncomfortable, why don't you go out first."
"Brother, it's really not necessary."
"Brother knows. You wait for me outside. I am your brother and sisters usually have to listen to their brother."
Seeing the sister who dared not speak, she turned away in fear with an angry expression. Then, in the face of the saleswoman's kind smile, she said generously that she wanted all of them...
After handing the things to the girl, Zhang Xingwang prepared to go to Aunt Liu's house. After thinking for a while, he took out two bullets from his "pocket", one of which was an empty shell and the other was intact. Looking at the puzzled look of the stubborn girl, Zhang Xingwang smiled and said:
"Brother, I sometimes do some purchasing work. I have a gun. You keep the bullet shells with you. If someone wants to bully you, you can tell him loudly that you have a brother with a gun and tell him to get out of here as soon as possible..."
The stubborn sister took it as if it were a treasure and asked:
"What about this good one?"
"Put this in your home. If someone comes to your house to bully you, show it to them and tell them that your brother forgot to take it. You will come back to get it in two days."
After hearing this, the stubborn sister nodded heavily and watched Zhang Xingwang leave with a smile.
Looking at Zhang Xingwang going away, without paying any attention to the newly bought things under his feet, he held the two bullets and looked at them for a long time, and then burst into tears...
It took a long time before she stopped crying. She said "it's okay" to her elder sister who came out to comfort her after hearing her cry. After a long time, she recovered and gave her elder sister a tearful smile, then turned around and wanted to run away.
"I don't want your things anymore, little girl."
The stubborn sister finally reacted and smiled shyly, then started to pick up things from the ground in a hurry.
The eldest sister also helped and said:
"Why are you crying, little girl? Just be happy that you have such a brother. Your brother should be going to work, not not coming back, why are you crying like that? Seeing you like that, I thought your brother had left you and ran away..."
"Sister, why are you saying that about my brother?"
"You're such a fierce little girl. I was just joking. Why do you take it so seriously? He didn't care when you cried like this, so why are you defending him so much..."
Zhang Xingwang didn't know the rules here, but he knew the principle of courtesy. He held a chicken in his left hand and a goose in his right hand. Thinking about the common hobbies of the mother and daughter, he changed the goose to his left hand, put half a sack of grapes on his back, and knocked on Aunt Liu's door with a grunt.
The person who opened the door was a man in his thirties, of medium height, wearing glasses, and looking gentle and polite. He first looked at Zhang Xingwang before reacting.
This person should be Bai Xiaoya's brother-in-law. This scene made Zhang Xingwang feel a little weird. Logically, Aunt Liu should have told him that she would come, and this scene should not have happened.
Zhang Xingwang was stunned for a moment, and was about to say hello awkwardly when Aunt Liu's voice came from inside the room.
"Xiao Zhang is here. This is Xiaoya's brother-in-law. You can just call him Brother Nie. Come in quickly. Why do you carry so many things..."
After a round of polite conversation, Zhang Xingwang also met Bai Xiaohui and her husband. As expected, they were family members who kept to themselves. Both of them were the type who never smiled and looked a bit serious.
Bai Xiaohui looks only 30% similar to Bai Xiaoya. She probably looks more like Bai's father. If the two sisters go out together, they can be understood as neighbors at most.
