Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462: 130: Zheng Xianjing took the bait, making money to support our Mr. Mo!_6

“Oh, I understand now, I won’t dare to do it again.”

Zheng Xianjing still had a decent attitude in admitting her wrongs, so Zheng Lingling didn’t say much more. She turned around and walked into the house with Zheng Xianjing.

Just as they entered the house, Zheng Lingling busied herself with making chicken soup for the old Madam Zheng in the kitchen.

Zheng Xianjing was speechless.

After all that old hag had done to them, she couldn’t believe that Zheng Lingling was still so nice to her!

She must be out of her mind.

Phrase: In her opinion, she should replace all the medicine in the bottle with poison and kill that old hag!

…

Ni Yang walked out of the public phone booth, the corners of her mouth curling into a light curve. Her dimples, shallow and charming, seemed to absorb everyone around. Her radiance outshone even the clouds in the sky.

She walked all the way to the Detective Agency.

Xiaozhou was currently fiddling with an old-fashioned phonograph, completely unaware of Ni Yang’s arrival.

“Is it not working?” Ni Yang approached Xiaozhou.

Startled by the sudden comment, Xiaozhou turned to see Ni Yang and broke into a smile, “It’s not exactly that it doesn’t function, it’s just that the sound produced seems off, like a saw being drawn.”

“Let me have a look.” Ni Yang walked to the front of the phonograph.

This was a very ancient phonograph. With its swan-neck-like bend and large horn, it resembled a blooming trumpet flower – prideful and elegant.

The large horn was made of pure copper, highly wear-resistant and non-fading. It was perfectly complemented by an elegant, traditional wooden cabinet.

This type of phonograph originated from the Republic era. A few of them could still be found in the 1980s in China. In later generations, they all became precious antiques only seen in museums and with collectors.

In her former life, Ni Yang didn’t have many hobbies. Collecting phonographs was one of the few.

She fiddled with it for a while, put on the disc, pressed the start button, and instantly, melodious music flowed from the large horn.

“The night in Shanghai, the night in Shanghai, you are a city that never sleeps, the lights are up, it’s all song and dance…”

Xiaozhou exclaimed in surprise, “That’s amazing! Yangyang, you’re really something! You even know how to repair phonographs!”

In these times, the most popular gadgets were radios.

All the trendy boys and girls had radios in their hands, with a pair of earphones plugged into their ears. They couldn’t have looked cooler!

Earphones entered China around the end of the Qing Dynasty when Telegraph machines came into existence.

Now, hardly anyone bothered with big, heavy, old-fashioned gadgets like phonographs.

Xiaozhou sometimes found it hard to figure out Ni Yang.

This girl, younger and slimmer than him but far more capable, seemed to harbor many secrets.

Ni Yang laughed lightly, “It’s not that I’m amazing. It’s just that I’ve studied it a bit.”

Xiaozhou walked over and poured Ni Yang a cup of water, “Yangyang, you must have something important to discuss, and that’s why you came over, right?”

Ni Yang took the cup with both hands, “You guessed it correctly.”

Xiaozhou grinned and asked, “What’s up? Tell me about it.”

Ni Yang took a sip of tea, “In the next few days, someone might send some money to Mr. Mog. When they do, just tell them he’s out, you’ll take care of the delivery, but keep the money for me.”

It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to handle this in person, so Xiaozhou would have to help.

“Sending money to Mr. Mog?”

“Mmm-hmm.” Ni Yang nodded slightly.

“This Mr. Mog… is you?” Xiaozhou asked further.

“It’s me.” Ni Yang replied with a smile in her eyes.

Xiaozhou couldn’t resist teasing, “Are you getting married and following your husband’s title?”

“Why should I be surprised?” Ni Yang quirked an eyebrow and asked back. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}
