## Chapter 44 He Chongran Again

The next day, Lin Yangyang went back to the bookstore and found the clerk.

“Sister-in-law Lin, I’m so sorry…” The clerk apologized as soon as he saw Lin Yangyang.

“What, the owner of the book doesn’t want to lend it? Why don’t you give me his contact information, I’ll go find him myself.”

Although she didn’t absolutely need to borrow the Jin Meimei comic book for Lu Shiyuan, it was the best solution she could think of.

Besides, what if she just told him directly?

It might just anger Lu Shiyuan, that stubborn bull.

But as long as she gave him Jin Meimei, after he read it, he would know what it meant to build up anticipation, what it meant to have foreplay…

The Jin Meimei comic book was right in front of her, she had to find a way to get this book, if she really couldn’t get it, she could think of other ways.

The clerk, seeing her anxious expression, quickly waved his hand, “No, no, Sister-in-law Lin, my friend, he’s not saying he won’t lend it… uh, he’s not willing to lend it to me.”

Lin Yangyang asked, “What do you mean?”

“He… oh, he’s not willing to lend it to me, but he’s willing to lend it to you.”

“Ah?!”

The clerk scratched his head awkwardly, “He said he’s afraid I’ll use his book to do something bad, hahaha… he likes to talk nonsense. Well, Sister-in-law Lin, if you really want to borrow it, then in three days, you go to the big banyan tree at the end of East Street and wait for him. He’ll be there to lend you the book.”

“Why in three days?” If she could, she wanted Lu Shiyuan to learn the contents of the book right away!

From his learning sign language last night, she could tell he was actually very good at learning!

She was sure that as long as he read it once or twice, he would learn everything he should and shouldn’t learn from it!

For the sake of her future happiness, she couldn’t not be attentive.

The clerk replied, “Oh, he’s busy with work these days, so he doesn’t have time for now. In three days, he’ll be free. Sister-in-law Lin, you… you’re borrowing this book, are you sure it’s just to improve your life with your husband?”

Lin Yangyang looked up, only to see the clerk’s face instantly turn red, he could only cough a few times to cover his embarrassment.

“Why are you asking that? Could it be that you think I’m that kind of woman?”

“No, no, no, of course not!” The clerk quickly denied, “It’s just that, my friend, he’s a gentleman! He finally found the Jin Meimei comic book, he said, Jin Meimei is actually a literary masterpiece, he already has the book, and he finally found the comic book, of course, he wants to keep it well. So, if he knew it was going to be used to do something bad, he wouldn’t lend it out.”

Hearing this, Lin Yangyang actually had a little more respect for the owner of the book.

Jin Meimei, in the past or at this time, most people would think it was a vulgar book, but actually, many of the contents express human relationships.

The owner of the book, he has a high level of understanding.

“Don’t worry, I’m also borrowing this comic book with a learning attitude. I guarantee that three days after I borrow it, I will return it to the owner in the same condition. Little brother, please help me make the connection, in three days, I will be waiting under the banyan tree… well, I will be wearing a beige shirt.”

She also slipped the clerk a dollar as she spoke.

The clerk was very happy, he readily agreed, anyway, he was just delivering a few words, and he earned a dollar and fifty cents, wasn’t that great.

So, for the next three days, Lin Yangyang was either doing housework or sewing, or she continued to stroll around town, looking for opportunities.

The next day happened to be the children’s day off, Lin Yangyang taught them a lot of knowledge at home.

Even Lu Shiyuan, relying on three nights of learning, had already learned a lot of sign language, and some simple conversations were no longer a challenge for him.

Lin Yangyang was slowly getting used to life in this era, although she was still reluctant to associate with those gossipy military wives, there were also a few military wives who were very practical and sincere.

One of them was Du Meichun.

Although Du Meichun didn’t like to show up very often, she helped people sew and mend to make ends meet, so she naturally knew a lot of people.

Lin Yangyang would often teach Du Meichun some sewing techniques, and gradually, Lin Yangyang made many friends.

This kind of life, simple and happy, was actually much better than decades later.

In the future, she had to work hard for her livelihood, her future, and her life every day, and she was running alone.

People in the future were more complicated and more scheming, especially at the position she had finally climbed to, there was not a single true friend around her.

Compared to the people in this era who were so practical, she even felt that those military wives who gossiped by the well were much better than her former colleagues, because at least they wouldn’t stab her in the back.

Three days passed quickly.

On the third day, Lin Yangyang happily went to the big banyan tree on East Street.

She had already thought about what she would say when she met the owner of the book.

She was even thinking about what Lu Shiyuan’s expression would be when he saw the book at home.

Would he be excited, or would he be angry and scold her?

It was kind of interesting to think about.

However, when Lin Yangyang waited for ten minutes and still didn’t see anyone, she looked around, and happened to see that familiar figure in the distance.

It was He Chongran!

What a coincidence, she was just borrowing a book, how could she run into this man, He Chongran!

Lin Yangyang wanted to move to the back of the banyan tree, pretend not to see He Chongran, and not want him to see her.

But she was one step too late, because before she saw He Chongran, he had already noticed her presence, and his eyes were full of disbelief and shock!

Because He Chongran was the owner of the Jin Meimei comic book!

He recognized Lin Yangyang, who was standing under the banyan tree, wearing a beige floral dress.

It’s just that he never imagined that Lin Yangyang would be the little sister-in-law who borrowed the comic book!

He frowned slightly, and walked towards her quickly, a little angrily.

Lin Yangyang thought she was about to be discovered, and was worried about whether she should just leave, when a hand forcefully grabbed her wrist.

He Chongran grabbed her as she tried to leave.

“What are you doing! Let go!”

Lin Yangyang was very disgusted by his touch, if Lu Shiyuan or some malicious people saw it, they would definitely make a big deal out of it!

She didn’t want to cause trouble!
