Chapter 415
The aunt who was speaking also smiled.
Aunt Liang said to the three people, "It tastes good, doesn't it? I didn't lie to you. Why don't you buy a few more bowls and take them back for your family to try? It's only five cents a bowl, not expensive."
The aunt just now said, "You are so eager to get us to buy it. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are selling peanut butter."
Aunt Liang said nonchalantly, "Young boss, you're a very honest person. You've tried it, and this peanut butter is indeed delicious. I'm just doing you a favor."
"Okay, then I'll buy two bowls and take them back for my husband and children to try," said my aunt.
The other two aunts also said, "I'll buy two bowls too."
Cui Li smiled at them and said, "Okay."
As she was packing peanut butter for the three aunts, Aunt Liang said, "Her buns are really delicious too. The fillings are generous and the buns are big. Do you want to take a few back to try? Paired with her peanut butter, they're delicious and filling."
These three aunts had also bought buns from Cui Li before, but not as frequently as Aunt Liang.
Cui Li took the opportunity to say, "My buns are still the same as always. They were all made this morning. We have carrot and pork filling, cabbage and pork filling, fresh meat filling, vermicelli filling, and tofu filling. The prices are the same as before: vegetarian filling is six cents each, meat filling is ten cents each, and a combination of meat and vegetables is eight cents each."
"Your family has more varieties of meat-filled buns," said one of the aunts.
"Yes, I tried to make more changes." Cui Li said with a smile.
"Then give me one with carrot, pork and vermicelli fillings," said the aunt.
The other two aunts also ordered one with meat filling and one with vegetarian filling respectively.
After the three aunts left, Cui Li took a tofu-filled bun from the bamboo basket and said gratefully to Aunt Liang, "Thank you, Aunt. You can take this back and eat it."
Seeing this, Aunt Liang thought that Cui Li was quite capable.
She waved her hand and said, "What are you doing? I'm helping you drum up business, not to take advantage of you. I genuinely think your buns and peanut butter are delicious."
Aunt Liang was telling the truth; she didn't need this bun.
Cui Li smiled and said, "I know, you are kind-hearted. You are a regular customer, so consider this bun as my reward for a regular customer like you."
Aunt Liang smiled: "Okay, since you said so, I will accept it."
Finally, Aunt Liang accepted the tofu-filled buns and left happily. Thanks to Aunt Liang's kindness, Cui Li sold a lot of buns and peanut butter, and then rode her bicycle to other places to continue selling.
While Zhong Lan and Cui Li were selling peanut butter, Ye Fuyue had already returned to school.
After finishing a morning of classes, Wu Qiaoer asked Ye Fuyue to go to the cafeteria together.
When the two were discussing what delicious food would be in the cafeteria today, someone called Ye Fuyue.
When Ye Fuyue saw the person who called her, she was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Qiaoting and Ye Fuyue didn't look much different from when they met more than two years ago, but her overall mental outlook was much better than before.
Zhu Qiaoting walked up to Ye Fuyue, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Long time no see. Are you free now? Let's chat."
Ye Fuyue said to Wu Qiaoer, "Go to the cafeteria and get your food first. Whatever you get, get me one portion as well."
Wu Qiaoer glanced at Zhu Qiaoting, nodded, and went to the cafeteria first.
Ye Fuyue and Zhu Qiaoting walked slowly on the campus while chatting.
Zhu Qiaoting spoke first: "You don't seem particularly surprised to see me."
Ye Fuyue did not respond to her words, but asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhu Qiaoting smiled and said, "I didn't come to see you because of Shen Kang."
Ye Fuyue didn't say anything.
The first time she saw Zhu Qiaoting, she subconsciously thought of Chen Kang, but then she thought of Tang Lanhua.
Sure enough, Zhu Qiaoting continued, "I'm here to get Tang Lanhua's things."
Ye Fuyue nodded, still without saying anything.
"You're really not surprised at all." Zhu Qiaoting looked at Ye Fuyue with a smile.
Ye Fuyue said, "I saw the letter Tang Lanhua received, and there was one written by you."
Zhu Qiaoting nodded: "I have known for a long time that you and Xiaolan are in the same dormitory. She mentioned it in the letter, but I didn't mention to her that you are Shen Kang's sister-in-law."
"Are you also in college?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Zhu Qiaoting nodded: "In the south."
When Ye Fuyue heard the name of the university Zhu Qiaoting mentioned, she was slightly surprised: Zhu Qiaoting and Shen Kang were in the same city, but they attended different universities.
"Are you and Xiaolan educated youth from the same village?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Zhu Qiaoting nodded again. "When Xiaolan got married, I tried to persuade her, but she said, 'We've been in the countryside for so many years, who knows if we'll ever be able to return to the city?' She couldn't stand working on the farm every day and not having enough to eat. She really couldn't stand it anymore. Instead of looking forward to when we could return to the city, the most important thing right now was to survive. At that time, like her, I felt that we might never be able to return to the city in this lifetime. I didn't have the confidence to persuade her, so I could only wish her the best."
"That family wasn't bad to Xiaolan. At least they made sure she had enough food and clothes. They just didn't like her associating with us educated youth. When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came, that family initially didn't allow Xiaolan to take it. Later, perhaps because they thought Xiaolan hadn't read a book in so many years and that even if she took it, she wouldn't necessarily pass, they agreed to let her take it. But they didn't expect Xiaolan to pass."
At this point, Zhu Qiaoting was silent for a moment before continuing, "Later, we both went to college and kept in touch through letters. If I hadn't received a reply to my letters to her, I would have asked someone to find out that she had been taken back by her in-laws. Only then did I realize that she had secretly run away to attend college. Although I was a little suspicious before, as her in-laws actually agreed to let her go to college, I didn't think much of it. I didn't expect that in the end, she would..."
Zhu Qiaoting was silent again.
After a while, she pretended to be relaxed and continued, "Actually, Xiaolan and I are essentially the same kind of people. Once we have the opportunity to return to the city, we will both do everything we can to seize it. This is the same thing that happened to me when I first met Chen Kang."
Zhu Qiaoting glanced at Ye Fuyue. Seeing that Ye Fuyue had no intention of saying anything, she continued, "I do like Chen Kang, but my love for him is not pure. Part of the reason is that I think Chen Kang has a good family background. If I can follow him back to the city, my future life will be much better."
"Perhaps, it was because my love for Shen Kang was not pure that I suffered retribution and was bullied by the scoundrels in the same village. As a result, I became pregnant and wanted Shen Kang to recognize the child. This is the truth behind my pregnancy."
