Chapter 114

Her yell immediately attracted everyone's intense interest.

A watch!

Villagers did not even dare to think about such things. Many people only thought about buying a watch when they got married and even so, only those with jobs and money would consider it.

In these times, it was fas.h.i.+onable for people to buy four items when they got married, and a watch was one of them.

Gu Qingyao yell caused everyone to crane their necks to look at Zhang Xiaohui's wrist. It was not so much that they had never seen a watch before, but that a watch had now appeared on the person of someone like Zhang Xiaohui, so they all wanted a good look.

After Gu Qingyao felt the watch, she grabbed Zhang Xiaohui's wrist and raised it, then pushed her sleeve back to reveal the watch.

It was a locally made women's watch. It looked pretty good. Although it could not compare to the Rolex that Mo Beihan had bought Gu Qingyao, the latter was a luxury item and few people could afford it. Mostly, people bought a cheaper one when they got married.

The watch on Zhang Xiaohui's wrist cost about sixty dollars. To an ordinary person, it was a very good item.

Besides Mo Beihan and others who had similar jobs, those in the brigade who remained in the village, and farmed or survived on work points, did not have a watch.

Zhang Xiaohui was the first person among the Qing River Brigade women to have a watch. Those who had gone to live in the city after marriage did not count.

Zhang Xiaohui was very smug when she saw everyone's envious expressions. She enjoyed the feeling of being envied. She had not had such a glorious moment for many years.

“Heavens! It's really a watch! It's so beautiful!”

“Wow wow wow! It must be expensive.”

“The cheapest watch also costs ten over dollars and watch coupons! Which important person has Zhang Xiaohui gotten to know?”

Gu Qingyao had displayed her watch and while Zhang Xiaohui was basking, she seized the opportunity to reach over and tug at the bundle in Zhang Xiaohui's hand. She gave it a sharp yank, and its contents spilled out.

There were many things inside, including many pieces of cloth, all made of premium cotton, and even woolen cloth. One of the woolen pieces had red checks and was especially pretty. It would look great when made into a coat.

There was also plenty of wool, and it was sheep's wool!

Black, blue, red, they were so beautiful!

And a pair of lady's leather shoes.

Together with the new clothes and shoes that Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing wore, these items were worth a lot of money!

It was more than most of the villagers could afford in their entire lifetime.

“Wow…”

Everyone exclaimed when the items fell out. Many of the women goggled!

Zhang Xiaohui was distressed when she saw that all her nice things had fallen out. She viciously pushed Gu Qingyao aside. “d.a.m.n girl, what are you doing? Are you able to compensate me if you spoil any of these things?”

Zhang Xiaohui's heart ached as she bent down to quickly pick up her things.

Gu Qingyao almost fell when Zhang Xiaohui pushed her aside. She only managed to steady herself with Wen Ruyu's help.

The brigade leader, w.a.n.g Mingtao hurried over just in time to see this scene.

He immediately bellowed, “Zhang Xiaohui, how can you hit someone the moment you're back? Do you think you're above the law?”

Zhang Xiaohui's temper cooled a little when she saw w.a.n.g Mingtao. But she felt that she was a city dweller now, so she was not very afraid of w.a.n.g Mingtao.

So she pursed her lips and said, “Did I hit her? Besides, she dropped all these nice things on the ground, so she deserves a beating. Can she afford to pay me back?”

“You…”

w.a.n.g Mingtao was enraged by this stupid woman!

w.a.n.g Mingtao was in a towering rage when he saw the items she was holding, their new clothes, and the watch on Zhang Xiaohui's wrist. “Where did you get the money to buy these things?”
