"Of course I remember! Even if you only show your eyes, I'd recognize you!" she said familiarly.

"I saved all the chicken you wanted last time, come and take a look!"

Without saying a word, the older sister grabbed Chen Sisi and dragged her to the stall, her grip was incredibly strong.

"Sorry about that day, the city management officers suddenly came to arrest people, and we couldn't do any business with you. How about I give you a discount today?"

Suddenly, Shen Sisi remembered that her purpose in coming here was to sell chickens!

I bought a chicken to make soup for Gu Chengfeng to welcome him back.

The thought of Gu Chengfeng returning today made her heart flutter with inexplicable joy.

"Okay, let's take a look..."

Chen Sisi quickly selected a rooster and two hens, and asked her older sister to deliver them to the military compound when she had time.

The older sister readily agreed, tied the chicken feet she had selected with a rope, and placed them in a separate small cage.

Seeing that this older woman was very shrewd and had excellent eyesight and memory, Shen Sisi casually asked a question.

"Hey lady, do you know where I can buy some cheap vegetable oil around here?"

"Vegetable oil?" The woman paused in her work. "Do you want sesame oil, peanut oil, or rapeseed oil? What's it for?"

The older sister asked very detailed questions; she genuinely cared about her well-being.

He paused for a moment and said, "It's not for eating, it's for making medicated oil to apply to the body. Don't use rapeseed oil, it has a strong smell. Other vegetable oils should be fine, mainly because they are cheaper."

The older woman stood there intently for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Um... does coconut oil count?"

He nodded vigorously, deep in thought, "How can it not count?"

“Yesterday I went to deliver chickens to a cargo ship at the dock and heard the crew sighing and complaining that they were losing a lot of money on coconut oil. They said the people here don’t like coconut oil and they want to sell it cheaply. I’ll go ask them for you.”

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" Shen Sisi pondered. If all else failed, she would ask for the ship's number and go find it herself.

"No trouble at all. I have to deliver chickens to them today. It's just a small favor. I'll come to the military compound to find you later. If the price is right, I'll bring it over when I deliver the chickens to you."

That's why they say the eldest sister is good at business!

Shen Sisi thanked her repeatedly.

This is much more convenient, and you won't get gossiped about by the people in the compound.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news... By the way, my name is Shen Sisi, and I live at No. 26, East District of the compound."

"I've got it!"

After finishing her shopping, Chen Sisi's basket was bulging so high that the handkerchief could barely cover it.

She couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Seeing her mother working so hard, carrying such a heavy basket, Niu Niu volunteered to get down and walk, and even insisted on helping her mother carry a big cabbage.

They chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the family compound.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Chen Sisi heard a sharp and unfriendly voice.

"Wow, buying so much! It's really different being with a man!"

"Who knows whose money it is... they might have taken double!"

"I saw that scoundrel making a scene at the door this morning. He was bald and looked really fierce. He kept saying he was looking for Gu Chengfeng. How could Comrade Gu possibly know such lowlifes? He must be after Chen Sisi!"

"Could it be her lover on the side..."

He was lost in thought and didn't hear a thing.

Her previous forbearance was simply because she didn't want to fall into a trap or cause trouble.

She had tolerated everything before, but spreading rumors about her was intolerable!

She put down the basket, picked up Niu Niu and sat her down on a chair, tenderly touching her skinny little face.

"Sweetie, Mommy will play a game of 'Statues' with you. Close your eyes and cover your ears. If Mommy doesn't let you open them, you can't move, understand?"

Niu Niu's little mouth twitched sadly. Was her mother going to fight again?

Every time her mother went to fight someone, she would make her pretend to be a wooden doll.

Before I close my eyes every time, Mom is a beautiful mom.

When I opened my eyes again, my mother's hair was disheveled, or she was injured, and she looked very disheveled.

She doesn't like this game at all!

Seeing that she remained silent, with tears welling up in her eyes, he hesitated for a moment before forcing a faint smile: "Be good, listen to me..."

Niu Niu reluctantly closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands, a skillful move that was heartbreaking.

At this moment, Chen Sisi stood up, took off the red coat that Gu Chengfeng had given her, and draped it over Niu Niu. Then she rolled up her sleeves, walked behind Zhang Xiuhong and Yang Qiuxia, and grabbed a handful of hair with each hand.

"People with dirty hearts see everything as dirty; their minds are full of filth. Let me help you shake it off..."

Don't let Chen Sisi's slender and delicate appearance fool you, she's incredibly strong. All those fights she's had over the years haven't been for nothing!

Zhang Xiuhong and Yang Qiuxia were talking enthusiastically when suddenly their scalps tightened. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. Shen Sisi grabbed them from behind, and they couldn't even turn around. Every time they tried to pull, their scalps felt like they were being pricked with needles.

All it could do was howl wildly, baring its teeth and claws, like a black-eyed chicken.

Shen Sisi didn't seem to use much force; she used only clever techniques to make them feel excruciating pain, but not to the point of pulling their hair out.

The force was perfectly controlled!

"You say I spend men's money? What, have neither of you ever spent men's money?"

"You're spreading rumors about me... Did you see me with your own eyes, or did that man tell you himself? If you don't get to the bottom of this today, we're going to the police station and let them sort things out with you!"

Chen Sisi's voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly intimidating.

Zhang Xiuhong cried out in pain, occasionally uttering a few words of traditional Chinese opera: "I know it, so what's it to you?"
