Zhu Nuannuan looked at the little boy beside her, sighed helplessly, and threw the broom in her hand on the ground. Only then did she realize that she had been too impulsive. Her actions just now probably made Cui Yunhan suspicious, but she didn’t regret it.
“Forget it, I’ll pretend this never happened.” After saying that, she turned around and left.
Before she had taken two steps, the onlookers gasped, accompanied by screams.
They saw Master Li pick up the broom from the ground at some point and kept hitting the woman with it.
Before everyone could react, Master Li spoke, “You can let it go, but we can’t let it go. This is the price she pays for her actions just now. As for Xiao Qiang’s kindness, we will definitely repay it when we have the chance. Daughter, let’s go home!”
Zhu Nuannuan looked at the backs of the three people leaving, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
The old man’s actions just now were probably not for her to see, but for Cui Yunhan to see. From Cui Yunhan’s aura, it could be seen that his identity must be extraordinary, not someone they, ordinary people, could afford to offend.
And his actions could not only eliminate the anger in Cui Yunhan’s heart, but also silence the public. As for the so-called repayment of kindness, it was probably a distant prospect.
It had to be said that old ginger was spicier. The old man’s move of retreating to advance was really wonderful.
“Nuannuan, you’ve finally come. If you hadn’t come, I was going to look for you. What happened over there just now? Why were so many people gathered there?”
Niu Guihua was about to ask a few more questions when she saw the unignorable figure standing beside Zhu Nuannuan.
“Oh dear, I was wondering why Nuannuan came back so late. So it’s Company Commander Cui who’s here. Nuannuan, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. You can let Company Commander Cui accompany you to the market. I’ll go first.”
“Hey…” Before Zhu Nuannuan could finish speaking, Niu Guihua had already walked far away.
Zhu Nuannuan smiled politely, “Well, you should be busy, I’ll go first.”
“Company Commander, it’s rare to come out, you should accompany your sister-in-law. I can handle the rest. If your sister-in-law wants to buy something, you can lend a hand.”
Cui Yunhan pondered for a long time and said, “Alright, Xiao Li, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Zhu Nuannuan, who didn’t get what she wanted, waved her hand with a forced smile, “Xiao Li, thank you for your hard work. Come to my sister-in-law’s house for dinner when you have time.”
Xiao Li wanted to salute, but thinking that he was outside, he raised his arm and waved it twice, revealing a simple and honest smile, “Thank you, sister-in-law, goodbye sister-in-law, goodbye Company Commander.”
Zhu Nuannuan continued to walk towards the market in the west, with Cui Yunhan following not too closely, observing the woman in front of him, not understanding what had happened to make such a big change in a person.
“Cui Yunhan, with your identity, can you go to the market? If you go, will you be making a mistake?”
Not getting a response, Zhu Nuannuan stopped and turned her head in confusion. The next moment, she crashed directly into Cui Yunhan’s arms. Cui Yunhan reached out and supported Zhu Nuannuan. After she stood firm, he took two steps back, widening the distance between them.
Zhu Nuannuan lowered her head and rubbed her nose, which had been bumped and was a little sore, cursing inwardly, ‘Is this person’s chest made of iron? Why is it so hard?’
Thinking of this, Zhu Nuannuan glared at him secretly and continued to walk forward.
Cui Yunhan touched his nose, “Well, I didn’t know you would stop, are you okay?”
Zhu Nuannuan looked at the slightly awkward Cui Yunhan and shook her head.
Cui Yunhan looked ahead and said calmly, “Although the state has issued documents, due to different regions, the implementation capabilities of each place are also very different, so after arriving at the place, you still need to pay attention to some things.”
Zhu Nuannuan nodded. The current policies were indeed more open, but only some big cities would fully implement the policies in order to develop rapidly. Small cities like the one they were in were still lagging behind.
And her main purpose today was to buy some containers that could hold the skin-regenerating cream, but in order to sell them at a good price, there were higher requirements for quality and appearance.
She had also thought about going to the state-owned department store, but she wanted to customize them, and the state-owned department store would not meet her requirements, so she could only wander around the market first.
Before long, the two arrived at the market in the west. Saying it was a market, it was actually just many farmers setting up stalls on both sides of the road, selling some small things they made themselves, and some were selling snacks. It looked messy, but it was actually well-organized.
“Girl, take a look, this is a good thing. It sells for three yuan in the state-owned department store, I’ll give it to you for two yuan.”
Zhu Nuannuan looked over curiously, and it turned out to be a Hero brand fountain pen.
But when the man saw Cui Yunhan following behind Zhu Nuannuan, he quickly retracted his hand and kept looking around, as if everything just now had never happened.
Zhu Nuannuan was secretly shocked. She didn’t expect this man’s aura to directly scare the seller into silence.
“There should be what you want over there.”
Following the direction Cui Yunhan pointed, she saw a middle-aged man sitting at a stall humming a little tune. In front of him were many bottles and jars with the characteristics of the times.
“Girl, see if there’s anything you like?”
Zhu Nuannuan scanned back and forth, and her eyes lit up. She saw a very elegant ceramic bottle that caught her eye. The overall color was gray-white, and it was painted with peach trees, which looked both elegant and beautiful.
“Uncle, how much does this thing sell for?”
“This is ceramic, it sells for five mao.”
The middle-aged man looked at Zhu Nuannuan’s clothes and lost his enthusiasm.
“Uncle, do you have more of these? I want to buy more.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up, and a big smile appeared on his face, “Girl, you really know your stuff. The peach blossoms on the bottle are all hand-painted. Don’t look at how small it is, it can hold a lot of things. No matter how many you want, I can get them.”
“Uncle, I want thirty first, but I have a request, I want to add something I designed to this small bottle. As for the price, I can offer seven mao.”
She only had a little over a hundred yuan in her hand now. This money was the living expenses Cui Yunhan gave her. After she made money, she had to pay back this money.
The middle-aged man hesitated and said, “Girl, you want a bit too many. It’s hard for me to make a decision alone. How about this, I’ll go to the factory tomorrow and ask, and give you an answer the day after tomorrow, how about that?”
Zhu Nuannuan nodded, “Okay, then I’ll come again the day after tomorrow, Uncle, thank you.”
“What are you buying so many porcelain bottles for?” Cui Yunhan asked subtly.
Zhu Nuannuan paused. No matter what, Cui Yunhan lived under the same roof as her. Even with the space bonus, he naturally couldn’t be kept in the dark when selling goods. Fortunately, she didn’t intend to hide it from the beginning.
“I just want to do a little business, let’s go!”
