Chapter 80: Chapter 080: A Thousand_1
“Thank you, Grandma, don’t worry. I won’t bring disgrace to our family.”
“Isn’t it disgraceful? Having people co to our door pointing fingers and scolding.”
“Grandma…” Nan Fei pulls on Guan Rufang’s arm coquettishly, smiling and saying: “But this trouble wasn’t of my doing, was it?”
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s my mistake for misjudging a person.” In fact, she still feels guilty, but just doesn’t want to show it in front of her granddaughter. “You wanted to borrow money to go to the south, right? I think you can leave tomorrow.”
“Really?”
“Hmm!” she thought it over and felt that Nan Fei’s thod was feasible, so she specifically ca to support her. “I am backing you up, I’ll give you all my savings.”
...
Nan Fei was both shocked and delighted, not expecting that this misfortune would end up bringing good luck.
“Grandma, how much money do you have in your savings?” Nan Fei’s eyes dart towards Guan Rufang, her clear and bright eyes resembling the starry sumr night, dazzlingly bright and irresistible to look away.
As she grew older, the little girl had beco increasingly beautiful.
“Guess!”
“Ten thousand?”
Guan Rufang gave her a slight smack, “You wish! A thousand yuan, not a di more.”
“Uh…okay!” A thousand was more than she’d expected.
Unconvinced, Guan Rufang once again reminded her not to trust strangers when she goes out and to seek help from the police if she encounters any trouble. She also instructed her not to tell anyone that she had lent her the money, as it would be hard to explain to others.
Nan Fei kept nodding, her smile never fading.
“Grandma, I’ll leave tomorrow then!”
“You’re in such a hurry?” Guan Rufang was rather reluctant to see her granddaughter leaving the next day. “Why don’t you stay a couple more days?”
“No way! The sooner I leave, the better. School is about to start and I need to get back in ti, I won’t have much ti if I calculate it all.”
“That’s true, get what you need and co back.”
Nan Fei kept nodding her head as she listened, but her mind was elsewhere. What she was best at in her previous life was painting, at least she could hold herself amongst the arty crowd. She planned to go to the provincial capital and draw portraits for others. Based on her capabilities, she could certainly make money, and without any initial cost.
She should have enough ti during this period to decide what to do and what goods to buy for resale. If she’s lucky, she might not even need to go down south!
The provincial capital in her province is also considered a first-tier city nationwide. Its developnt has evolved over the years since the reform and opening up.

As soon as daybreak the next day, Nan Fei quickly packed her belongings, placing the thousand yuan that her grandmother had lent her in her pocket. Before leaving, she even wrote down the recipe for making dried tofu and tea tofu for Zhuanzhuan.
Zhuanzhuan and Jiang Yang held hands and accompanied her until the bridge at the entrance of the village.
“Sis, you must be careful.”
“Goodbye, Nan Fei!”
Nan Fei stopped and waved, smiling, “I know, go ho now!”
The two remained in place, unwilling to leave before Nan Fei.
“Zhuanzhuan, you must take care of your little brother while I’m gone. Especially, don’t let him play by the river, understand?”
“I knew it, you’ve said it countless tis.” She was almost growing calluses in her ears from hearing it since last night.
“Good!”
It was just a short trip, and she would be back soon. There was no need to be reluctant. Nan Fei reassured herself, waved, and walked towards the town without looking back. By the ti she reached town, the sky was turning bright.
