Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104 Lan Li’s Engagent 8
Although He Teng carried a bamboo basket on his back like local farrs entering the city, the shop owner was sharp. He could tell from He Teng’s appearance that he wasn’t a local. Observing He Teng’s ticulous attire, the owner figured maybe this custor might actually make a purchase!
He Teng indeed was swayed by the shop owner. He didn’t really understand the whole Red Tourmaline or Green Tourmaline thing; he only knew the pendant was exceptionally beautiful and perfect for his wife.
Thinking of He Zhilan’s fair skin and how stunning she would look wearing the pendant, He Teng felt tempted.
But when he asked the price, He Teng was dumbfounded.
The cost of the pendant alone, not even including the chain, would take nearly half a year’s salary. It wasn’t that He Teng wasn’t willing to buy it for He Zhilan, but he hadn’t brought that much money with him today.
Although the money with He Zhilan was enough to buy the pendant, since they didn’t know how long they would be staying here and would need to spend money, they couldn’t spend it all on the pendant.
He Teng sighed, reluctantly eyeing the pendant, and eventually left the shop.
Afterward, He Teng wandered around, his mind constantly fixated on that beautiful red pendant, always thinking of getting it for He Zhilan. She would definitely love it when she saw it.
He still rembered how He Zhilan had asked him for a gift. He also recalled when Chen Zheng went on a long trip and brought back a scarf for his wife, which she was so delighted with that she wore it for several days without taking it off.
After enough ti had passed, He Teng called Lin Chan, the first thing being to urgently inquire about He Zhilan’s current health condition.
“Don’t worry, He Mutou,” Lin Chan reassured him. “Zhilan’s psychologist said it’s a good sign, because with you accompanying her, her episodes have lessened. They also said the best redy for He Zhilan is having her husband by her side, so her spirits are lifted.” Lin Chan also felt relieved, “Who knows, maybe when Zhilan returns, she’ll be completely better! That would truly be a blessing in disguise!”
“That’s good.” Now, He Teng no longer had to be on edge, constantly worrying that He Zhilan’s condition might suddenly worsen.
Just as Lin Chan was about to hang up, He Teng suddenly spoke up, hesitated a mont, and borrowed money from Lin Chan, “I’ll repay you when I get back, or if you can’t wait, have Dongxue go to my place at the army base; there’s a bankbook in the bedside table that she can get for you.”
“Co on, do you think I, Lin Chan, am soone who lacks that little bit of money? If not for the consideration of your manliness, I’d tell you not to repay it~ Of course, if you were to offer Dongxue as collateral for the debt, I’d be more than happy to accept.” Lin Chan chuckled, then earnestly asked about how He Teng and He Zhilan were getting along there, “Is the money you brought not enough? Do you need to send so more?”
“The money’s enough, this money is for my own use,” He Teng replied.
Over the years, his salary and allowances had increased, and there weren’t many expenses at ho. Although after remarrying He Zhilan, he handed over all his salary and allowances to his wife to manage and wasn’t sure of the exact amount, he thought it should be enough for the pendant.
At one in the afternoon, He Teng t up with Niu Li and the others, and the four of them had lunch together in the county before taking the bus back to the town. By the ti they got ho, the sun was setting.
When He Zhilan heard the noise in the courtyard, she ca out of the main room. As soon as she saw He Teng with the basket on his back, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “You’re such a big guy with a small basket like that—it’s really funny looking!”
