"Hmph, go ahead and leave then! You really think I care about you!"

Liu Yanran curled her lips and said, "I kindly told you all this because I didn't want you to keep being deceived by that hypocrite Wang Qian. I didn't expect you to take my kindness for granted. You're really biting the hand that feeds you! You don't appreciate my good intentions!"

A hint of shame flashed across Wu Yanping's face.

But after hesitating for a long time, she said nothing.

Zhong Yiyi then made a "please" gesture at the opportune moment, "Miss Liu, please!"

Liu Yanran knew she was not welcome here, so she sneered and left.

Since she had already achieved her goal, she didn't expect to be able to reconcile with Wu Yanping.

Actually, she didn't want to either.

They are only joining forces with Wu Yanping now in order to retaliate against Wang Qian to the greatest extent possible.

She believed that as long as Wu Yanping received this news, she would be just as furious as she was, wishing she could tear Wang Qian to pieces.

My feigned calmness just now was perhaps only because I didn't want to lose my composure in front of her.

Given Wu Yanping's fragile personality, she would definitely break down in tears and be heartbroken if she left.

This is the process of love turning into hate.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hate.

After the initial heartbreak, Wu Yanping will definitely take revenge on Wang Qian in a frenzy.

When Wang Qian holds a one-month celebration for his son the day after tomorrow, not only her, but Wu Yanping will also definitely be there.

...

"He lied to me! He actually lied to me!"

"Since he was already married and had children, why didn't he say so from the beginning?"

Why did he hide it from me? Why didn't he tell me?

Sure enough, after Liu Yanran left, Wu Yanping could no longer hold back and burst into tears in front of Zhong Yiyi.

"Yanping, you...try to think positively!"

Zhong Yiyi was at a loss, and after holding it in for a long time, she could only manage to utter this lukewarm word of comfort.

"I don't need your comforting!"

Wu Yanping said with a sob in her voice, "He's a hypocrite, he was before and he still is now. I was blind once, and I've been blind a second time. I'm so stupid, beyond redemption!"

"I know you can't listen to anything right now, but life goes on, doesn't it?"

Zhong Yiyi paused to gather her thoughts before speaking eloquently: "And you should know that Liu Yanran is definitely not telling you this with good intentions. Whether what she said is true or not still needs to be confirmed."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yanping immediately stopped crying.

Yes, Liu Yanran is always extremely despicable. If the news she brought is false, wouldn't she have been heartbroken for nothing?

"No matter what method you use, you must find out the truth about this by tomorrow!"

She forced down her overwhelming sadness and said in a deep voice, "If we really can't find anyone to ask, we can go to Xiyang Village ourselves."

"Well... okay!"

Knowing that this matter couldn't be resolved peacefully, Zhong Yiyi had no choice but to agree, "I will find out the truth about this matter before noon tomorrow."

...

the next day.

Xieyang Village.

"Brother Long, you've really worked hard these past few days!"

Seeing Yang Shenglong getting off the tractor, Wang Qian immediately went up to him and politely offered him a cigarette.

These past few days, he's been busy with business matters, and he's asked Yang Shenglong to buy and handle all the things needed for the baby's one-month celebration.

Without saying a word, Yang Shenglong took care of everything perfectly for him.

"Xiao Qian, you're being too polite!"

As Yang Shenglong accepted the cigarette, he waved his hand and said, "I'm your employee now, it's only right that I help you!"

He paused, then added, "Even if you don't pay me, we're all from the same village, so if you need anything, I'll help you without hesitation."

As he spoke, he handed a notebook to Wang Qian. "Xiao Qian, take a look. This is the account of the things I bought for you these past few days. Check it against the records and see if they're correct."

"Shopping bill?"

Wang Qian was taken aback at first, then his face darkened. "Brother Long, you're being too polite now. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have asked you to do this for me!"

"No, one thing at a time. You need to take a good look at these things, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"

As he spoke, Yang Shenglong forcibly shoved the notebook into Wang Qian's hand.

He then pulled a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it over. “This is the money left. Because you bought a lot of furniture, you only have 1,834.67 yuan left. I record the weight and price of every item I buy in a notebook. You can check it to see if there are any mistakes.”

Hearing this, Wang Qian was even more surprised.

Is it necessary to be so meticulous?

You should know that he has made Yang Shenglong buy a lot of things in the past few days.

When he first asked Yang Shenglong to do this, he immediately gave him five thousand yuan.

After all, he had just moved to a new house and had to buy a lot of new furniture, such as several beds, wardrobes, coffee tables, sofas, kitchen utensils, etc.

In addition, there are various dishes, ingredients, and utensils needed for the baby's full moon celebration.

I originally thought that five thousand yuan wouldn't be enough.

Surprisingly, after buying everything, I still had over a thousand yuan left.

He couldn't help but sigh that prices were still too cheap in this era.

If this were the era before his rebirth, five thousand yuan would be enough to buy a cheap piece of furniture.

Some are quite expensive, often costing tens or hundreds of thousands.

What surprised him most was that Yang Shenglong, such a carefree man, actually had such a meticulous side.

He bought so many things that even he found troublesome, yet he wrote them all down without missing a single one.

He flipped through it casually; the handwriting was indeed a bit messy, but the author remembered things very carefully.

To his surprise, many of the things Yang Shenglong bought were much cheaper than he remembered the market price.

For example, the market price of eggplant is 22 cents per pound. He had bought some recently and knew it very well, but the price that Yang Shenglong wrote down in his notebook was only 22 cents per pound.

There's also ginger, which costs 70 cents a pound on the market, but Yang Shenglong recorded it as 65 cents a pound in his notebook.

The market price for loofah is 28 cents a pound, but Yang Shenglong recorded it as 26 cents a pound in his notebook.

There are many more examples like this in the notebook.

"Brother Long, your price... seems a bit off!"

The more Wang Qian looked, the stranger it seemed.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Shenglong's expression changed. "Did I make a mistake somewhere? Or is the accounting incorrect?"

As he spoke, he leaned closer, examining the ledger while blaming himself, "I remember carefully checking every item I bought before writing it down in the ledger, how could I have made a mistake?"

Wang Qian was slightly taken aback.

He then realized that Yang Shenglong had misunderstood.

"Xiaoqian, where are you referring to? I can't see it. Could you please point it out to me so I can think back and see which part went wrong?"

Before Wang Qian could explain clearly, Yang Shenglong urged him urgently, as if he had committed some grave mistake.
