Hello, Comrade. I'm Here to Marry You!

After this, Su Zhaozhao had no plans to go into the city.

But she couldn’t just stop her money-making endeavors.

So, she could only do business with the people around the military base.

It wasn’t a bad idea. There were so many army wives here, as well as young girls like Yu Huijun.

The things in her space would surely be very popular.

Everything was high-quality. She just needed to find some things she could replicate herself, pretend she had handmade them, and then sell them.

Like this hair tie, for instance. She could say she made it herself.

But she’d let it slide this time.

"Zhaozhao, can you sell them to me, then? I see you don’t use many hair ties yourself, and my friends all want one. Could you... sell them to them?"

Girls this age loved and hated fiercely.

Sometimes they could be competitive, but when it came to their dearest friends, they also wanted them to have things just as nice as their own.

"Hmm... I suppose I could, but as for the price..." She hesitated. ’Should I give her a buy-one-get-one-free deal like I did with Yu Huijun?’

Before, she had just given Yu Huijun a special perk.

In reality, the most she could do was offer a 20% discount compared to the market price for hair ties.

"Just sell them at full price!" Yu Huijun told Su Zhaozhao. "This is too beautiful. We’ve been to the state-run department stores, the Friendship Store, all those places, and we’ve never seen such a pretty hair tie. So, we’d be happy to pay full price."

As long as Su Zhaozhao was willing to sell to them, it was only fair to give her a little something extra.

"Alright then. I’ll go upstairs and get them for you?"

Yu Huijun nodded.

Su Zhaozhao went upstairs and selected a few from her space, choosing pretty colors suitable for young girls.

She brought down three in total.

Yu Huijun took them and examined them again and again. "I think I’ll keep one for myself, and the other two can go to them."

She was very pleased, keeping a blue one that was studded with sequins.

The remaining two, one red and one yellow, would be for her friends.

Su Zhaozhao hadn’t expected doing business to be this easy.

Delighted, she took the money back to her room, closed the door, and entered her space to wash herself with the spiritual spring water.

She also soaked the wound on her hand in the spiritual spring water.

Under the water’s influence, the wound mostly healed, and the pain vanished.

Only then did Su Zhaozhao pull her hand out of the water.

On the black earth, a new crop had been planted: carrots.

But she thought, ’I don’t need these anymore. I could use more fruit or something that I can snack on occasionally.’

"For such a big plot of land, can it be divided into zones for planting? A few vegetables on one side, and some fruit on the other?" Su Zhaozhao asked, crouching in front of the black earth.

Of course, the black earth didn’t speak to her, but she knew that given how intelligent the space was, it could definitely hear her.

Su Zhaozhao pulled up a carrot, washed it, and started munching on it.

’Sweet, crisp, and refreshing. So delicious!’

In the future, if she married Xie Huaizheng and had a little home of her own, could she use the food from her space for cooking?

Just the thought of it felt wonderful.

It felt like her life was becoming more and more promising.

Su Zhaozhao slept until ten the next morning before waking up.

’This is great. Ever since coming to this world, it feels like I’m sleeping longer and longer.’

Before, she would still be startled awake from time to time, but now, she no longer experienced that.

’Is it because I don’t have to worry about work anymore?’

After getting out of bed, Su Zhaozhao changed into some casual clothes, planning to go for a run on the nearby path.

She needed to build up her strength.

However, as she was on her second lap, she ran into a man at the entrance of the military base’s elementary school.

It was Zhou Chengguo.

From the looks of it, he seemed to have just finished teaching and was coming out of the school.

Su Zhaozhao hadn’t planned on paying him any mind and was about to turn and leave.

But who would have thought that upon seeing Su Zhaozhao, Zhou Chengguo would first freeze for a moment, then his expression would turn cold.

"It’s all your fault! I’m completely broke now!"

Su Zhaozhao: "??? What do you mean?"

"Weren’t you the one who taught Wen Xiaoqi to ask me for money? Her family gave me that money of their own volition! And now you’ve made Wen Xiaoqi demand it back. You are absolutely despicable!"

As Zhou Chengguo spoke, he couldn’t help but clench his teeth.

Su Zhaozhao stopped, still breathing a little heavily from her run.

But the look she gave Zhou Chengguo was one of utter speechlessness.

"If you don’t want to give the money back, then why don’t you get together with Qiaoqi? You don’t want to be with the girl, but you used so much of her family’s money. You’re really shameless, wanting to have your cake and eat it too."

Su Zhaozhao was speechless at Zhou Chengguo’s audacity.

’What an ultimate scumbag. His skin is thicker than a fortress wall!’

"That was their family’s investment in me! Weren’t they just counting on me to get into a good school, find a good job, and repay them in the future? I agreed to that, but isn’t it a bit much for you to rush me to pay it back like this?"

His original plan was to wait a few more years, save up more money from his job, and then slowly pay back the Wen Family bit by bit.

He never expected Su Zhaozhao to have Wen Xiaoqi come ask him for money every month.

If he didn’t pay up, she threatened to have Wen Xiaoqi cause a scene at his school.

At first, he had agreed, thinking it wasn’t a big deal.

But when he took the girl he actually liked out on a date, she took a fancy to some cold cream or a silk scarf.

He discovered that he couldn’t afford it!

In the end, his male pride forced him to empty his pockets to buy her the silk scarf.

But at their current dating frequency of twice a month, his wallet simply couldn’t handle it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chengguo began to resent Wen Xiaoqi.

He wanted to go back on his word, but he didn’t dare.

He was terrified that Wen Xiaoqi would actually show up and cause a scene at his school, which would be incredibly humiliating.

"Too much? Zhou Chengguo, that girl has wasted the best years of her youth on you, and you don’t think you’re the one being unreasonable?"

"That was her own wishful thinking. I never asked her to like me."

"’Wishful thinking,’ huh?" Su Zhaozhao sneered. "Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been dropping hints all this time, making her think you would marry her. But of course, you would never say directly that you liked her. You’d just act in certain ways to show that you cared about her a lot."

Su Zhaozhao took a step forward, staring into Zhou Chengguo’s eyes.

Come to think of it, she had encountered a case just like this before.

A scumbag had literally driven his girlfriend to her death.

He neither rejected her nor accepted her, using disgusting emotional manipulation to play with her feelings until he drove her to suicide.

The intense coldness in Su Zhaozhao’s gaze made Zhou Chengguo instinctively take two steps back, feeling a twinge of guilt and not daring to look her in the eye.

’How does she know all this? Did Wen Xiaoqi tell her?’

’But Wen Xiaoqi is so naive. What would she know?’

When he came to his senses, Zhou Chengguo was just annoyed.

He was the one who had come to settle scores with Su Zhaozhao!
