The two didn't dare to go too deep. Lin Chuchu saw a lot of coupons: bicycle coupons, daily necessities coupons, sewing machine coupons, watch coupons, and enamel basin coupons.

Each coupon has a different price, ranging from 2 to 5 yuan.

"Chuchu, how about I buy you a watch?"

"The watch is too expensive, I don't want it, and I don't need it anyway."

“Why wouldn’t we need it? We were in a rush when we got married, and we wanted to get a watch ready, but we had to wait. Let’s buy one this time.”

Lin Chuchu agreed anyway.

There were many things sold on the black market, most of which did not require tickets. You could even buy fruit and meat, and Lin Chuchu even saw mushrooms.

Mu Chen naturally knew that Lin Chuchu wanted to make mushroom sauce, so he bought it as well.

After leaving the black market, both of them were carrying large bags and small packages.

It was quite late when I got home. I didn't tell my family what happened today so as not to worry them.

The next day happened to be Sunday, and Mu Chen took Lin Chuchu to the largest store in the capital.

The store has four floors. Because it's a holiday today, there are many people shopping, especially the vegetable market and discount area on the first floor, which are packed with people.

Why are there so many people?

Mu Chen carefully protected Lin Chuchu, saying, "I heard prices are going up; rice, flour, cooking oil, vegetables, and eggs are all going up."

Lin Chuchu even spotted Mu's mother in the crowd. She decided against it, thinking, "Don't bother squeezing in; you might not be able to get out anyway."

The third floor sells large items, and the fourth floor sells high-end goods. Mu Chen led Lin Chuchu to the fourth floor.

There are also many people here, but far fewer than on the first floor.

The two arrived at the watch section, where all the watches were the most popular in the country at the time.

The two immediately spotted a watch with a slender bracelet.

Mu Chen put the watch on Lin Chuchu's wrist and looked at it from left to right.

"Great, I'll take this one."

Lin Chuchu glanced at the price; apart from the ticket costing 180 yuan, she decided to just buy it since she had already decided to.

Lin Chuchu spotted a men's watch.

"Could you please bring this out so we can take a look?"

Since we've already bought them, let's buy them together.

The two of them had just enough tickets: two for watches and some industrial tickets, which allowed them to buy the two watches.

Not wanting to go back so early, I simply strolled around the mall.

The electronics factory has released a new product with a beautiful design. Lin Chuchu didn't plan to buy it because she already had one at home. The factory manager had called earlier, saying he wanted to send her a set, but she refused.

After all, her family has nothing to lack, unless she buys it herself with her own money and tickets.

Home appliances are very expensive these days; the set in her house alone cost almost 10,000 yuan.

Of course, she didn't let the electronics factory suffer losses either, designing small things for them from time to time, saving them a lot of design fees.

The main principle is to ensure that the other party does not suffer a loss.

When I got to the bicycle area, something funny happened.

It seems the mother-in-law and son were buying a bicycle for their soon-to-be daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law said she paid for the ticket, so the woman should pay for it, and the son was also siding with his mother.

In the end, he angered the woman so much that she ran away, refusing to marry him no matter what.

The old woman even tried to snatch the watch from the girl's wrist, saying it would delay her son's compensation payment.

The woman's family members also work here, and they immediately began to point out the bizarre things the man had done.

"Do you know what you brought as betrothal gifts? A block of tofu, half a pound of white sugar, half a pound of meat, and a can of some unknown brand of food, all of which was moldy."

"If it weren't for the bride's parents' pride, this marriage would have been called off long ago. Now, the bride's family has to pay for the bicycle? How can you be so shameless?"

The mother-in-law rolled her dead fish eyes and said, "What? She's engaged to my son, she's my son's woman, and now she wants to break off the engagement? Aren't you afraid she won't be able to get married?"

The girl looked gentle and kind, but her eyes were red. She said with a determined look, "I'm breaking off the engagement with your family today. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other. If you go out and talk badly about me, I'll go to your son's boss."

She'd had enough and didn't want to get married anymore.

The mother-in-law, hands on her hips, snapped, "Fine, call off the engagement! My son is a full-time factory worker, earning 270,000 yuan a month. Plenty of women want to marry him!"

"That's perfect. Don't bother me again, or I'll beat him up every time I see him."

The girl's initial feelings for the man vanished without a trace, and she defiantly raised her fist to show that she was serious.

At this moment, a crowd gathered outside, cheering.

Lin Chuchu is so short that even when she stands on tiptoe, she can only see the back of other people's heads.

"This girl is good; she dares to take responsibility for her own happiness."

Lin Chuchu exclaimed in admiration.

An older woman next to me said, "That's right. These days, she only earns 27 yuan a month. She probably just got promoted recently. With a mother-in-law like that, she'll ruin the marriage sooner or later."

The older woman scoffed.

What era are we living in? Arranged marriages are no longer common. People get divorced these days, and some are doing just fine on their own.

The commotion inside continued. The girl's parents arrived, and after learning what had happened, they insisted on announcing the annulment of the engagement.

They love their daughter dearly and don't want her to suffer after marrying into the family.

"We can annul the engagement, but give us back the four gifts from the engagement."

The mother-in-law said arrogantly, hands on her hips.

One sentence was enough to make everyone keep wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

That's too harsh, too stingy.

The item was returned, and they gave double the refund. The girl's mother bought it directly from the mall and threw it at the other person.

Lin Chuchu was shocked by this shocking story. With a mother like that, this son's reputation was doomed.
