Qin Suyun had no idea that a series of events would happen after she had only sat at the small vegetable stall for two minutes.
It must be said that sometimes women's reasoning can be compared to Sherlock Holmes's. Later, this incident was even spread around the villagers of Lixi Village.
At the same time, what Qin Suyun didn't know was that her worries and concerns about the impending doomsday caused the entire human race to lose weight, and her complexion was no longer as rosy as before. People thought she was heartbroken, and she was so painful that she couldn't eat and became thin due to starvation.
Because she was afraid of attracting too much attention while collecting supplies, she dressed in the most convenient and low-key way, which was seen by others as a sign of being miserable and giving up on herself.
After all, she used to work at a TV station, and she paid great attention to her personal image every day. She often wore light makeup when she went out. Although she was not a stunning beauty, she was the girl next door who often attracted people's attention when she walked on the street.
But now Qin Suyun was dressed in a black cotton coat and black pants, with her hair casually tied into a low-key ponytail. She was dressed similarly to the ordinary women in their forties or fifties in the village. She was even dressed in black from head to toe, which made her more low-key than them.
Even though Yu Lu had helped Qin Suyun regain her strength, making her physical fitness far better than before, she still looked a little listless compared to her energetic appearance with makeup and lipstick, having been doing manual labor in the sun, wind and snow every day these days.
Most importantly, she must have lost at least ten pounds due to her busy schedule! This morning, she went to the farm to get some meat, and climbing up and down the back of the truck without caring about her image made her hair a mess, which made her look even more unhappy.
But after taking off her clothes and touching her arms, she could feel that all the physical work during this period was not in vain! She even grew a thin layer of muscle on her arms!
With Yu Lu's care, Qin Suyun's physical strength is now several times greater than before, so she is quite satisfied with herself.
Carrying two handfuls of spinach, Qin Suyun didn't dare to wander around the market, for fear that she might meet familiar villagers from Lixi Village who would pull her aside to talk about divorce. There were few entertainment activities in the countryside, and the most common thing people did was to gossip about other people's affairs when they had nothing to do.
Qin Suyun didn't want to chat about these things with others, nor did she want to become the topic of conversation among others, so she was even more unwilling to waste time here. She just wanted to quickly find a grocery store and buy some practical things to take home.
The grocery stores on the county market side are relatively scattered, with all kinds of shops dotted on this street. There are cake shops next to clothing stores, and grocery stores next to supermarkets. There is no layout at all.
Qin Suyun could only look carefully at each store, and also had to be careful of the stalls in the middle of the road. Such a chaotic scene of people carrying loads and selling goods in the middle of the road could only be seen in a town market like this.
Because the street is very narrow and has a large flow of people, even an electric car would find it difficult to pass through. It would have to stop and shout for help after walking a few steps.
Qin Suyun followed the crowd and kept walking forward. She didn't squeeze out of the crowd until she reached the grocery store where she needed goods.
It’s called a grocery store, but they sell everything.
But each grocery store has its own style. Some grocery stores focus on selling small groceries commonly used in households such as baskets and fruit plates, as well as some candies and biscuits, while others focus on practical household tools such as sickles and hoes.
The shop Qin Suyun chose looked exactly what she needed. On just one stall outside, there were more than a dozen knives of different sizes, as well as sickles, hoes, fishing nets and other agricultural tools.
Qin Suyun took the knives on the stall, looked at them carefully, and thought they were all pretty good. She didn't waste much time asking the boss about the prices of these knives. She bought six models, thirty knives in total, in one go, which left the boss stunned.
"Hey girl, do you really want to buy so many knives at once?" On normal days, some types of knives can only sell one or two in a day, but the person in front of him bought all the bags of two types of knives at once.
"Yes, boss, please pack them up for me. I want all these knives, and also give me five sickles. And those two telescopic fishing nets and three folding fish cages above, pack them all up for me." Qin Suyun nodded, and at the same time criticized the fish nets and fish cages hanging on the wall.
The sickles in this shop looked exceptionally thick, perfect for chopping wood in the mountains. She already had fishing nets and fish cages, so she decided to stock up on them all at once.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away." The boss reacted by clapping his arms and hurriedly called his wife over, asking her to help collect the money while he went to pack.
The grocery store owner was very happy to have done such a large business at one time. He asked directly, "Girl, can you carry so many things at once? If not, how about I help you carry them to the station?"
"Okay, my car is outside. Boss, please help me carry all these things over." Qin Suyun really couldn't carry so many things at once. Even with the boss's help, it would be a bit difficult to carry these things over.
It's not that the weight of these things is overwhelming, but it's hard to hold them all. When holding them, you have to be careful not to knock them against the ground, otherwise the blade will be broken and then it will be useless.
These things were not expensive. For so many items, the boss only charged more than a thousand yuan at one time, which was not enough to buy a castrated little pig.
After buying the things, Qin Suyun planned to return the same way with her things, but after thinking about it, she decided to take a detour. There are two exits in the market in the town, one in front and one in the back. She had entered from the back exit before.
It would be bad if we turned back and ran into Aunt Hanzhang and her group again.
Qin Suyun led the shop owner forward, and the shop owner followed behind carrying things. However, before they walked out of the market, Qin Suyun heard someone selling fish in front of them. It was a small truck with six large blue buckets almost as tall as a person placed on the truck.
A large white loudspeaker was placed on the roof of the truck, automatically playing a series of shouts in a loop.
"Fish for sale, fish for sale! Don't miss them if you pass by! Big, fat carp, delicious grass carp, crucian carp stewed in fresh milk soup! We also have herring, catfish, and crayfish! They're all freshly shipped in from other places, so fresh!"
Two young men were busy, one on top of the truck, scooping up and weighing fish, while the other stood below, collecting money and handing out fish. A group of people were gathered around the truck, waiting to buy fish.
For a moment, the entire stall was bustling with activity as fish were weighed and sold.
Next to the truck, there was an old man with gray hair and a beard, who looked to be in his sixties or seventies and was carrying an aluminum bucket. He was staring at the two young men next to him with anger on his face.
"I think you are going too far. It would be fine if you just took my place! Look at you, you even splashed water on me while selling fish!" The old man pointed at the water stains on his clothes that didn't seem too obvious and said dissatisfiedly.
"Tsk! That's not right. We are all setting up stalls. We haven't bought a shop. Aren't stalls on the road set up by whoever finds one first? Can you blame us for being late?" The young man standing on the truck to fish and weigh them pouted in dissatisfaction.
It was obvious that this old guy was looking for trouble because he saw that the two brothers were doing well in business!
Aside from the fixed stalls that had to pay rent every month, the rest of the stalls were set up as they pleased. Whoever arrived first got first place, right? But this old man made it sound like the two brothers were bullying others.
As for the few water stains splashed on the other person's body, there is no need to mention it. Who let this old guy get so close?
I told him before to stay away so that he wouldn't get stepped on accidentally. Who can I blame if he didn't listen?
"Hey! How can you talk like that, little brat? The water from your stall splashed on me, and you still think you're right?!" The old man was obviously not a pushover. He threw away the scale in his hand, stood up, and said with his hands on his hips.
The young man who was fishing had a hot temper and had long been dissatisfied with the old man. Now, seeing that the man dared to call him a brat, he threw away the fishing net in his hand, stopped fishing, and jumped off the truck, his eyes wide open, saying, "Who are you calling a brat, you old man?! I, Fan Laoer, don't get the name here for nothing! If you dare to complain again today, be careful, I will break your legs and make you crawl home!"
The young man had a fierce look on his face when he spoke, which immediately frightened everyone present. Those who were originally selling fish next to their truck all moved away, for fear that they would accidentally get into trouble.
A tall and thin young man who had just weighed the fish and paid for it didn't even want the change. He picked up the fish and walked into the crowd next to him. From the look of him, he didn't want to get involved in what was happening in front of him at all.
He was afraid that he would be affected by the struggle between the two sides accidentally, otherwise he would suffer a great loss!
Just now, other people thought that the fish sold in this shop were cheap and the boss was a honest person. But in the blink of an eye, everyone thought that the fish seller was a ferocious monster and someone not to be trifled with, so they all avoided him.
Before Qin Suyun could squeeze out of the crowd, the lively atmosphere in front of her became tense in the blink of an eye, as if a fight was about to break out in the next second!
Only the big white loudspeaker was still playing the pre-recorded fish-selling calls in the air.
"Oh, what bad luck! Why did we encounter this kind of thing again? Miss, why don't we go over there?" The grocery store owner who was following Qin Suyun with a sack of knives frowned when he saw that there was a conflict between vendors in front of him and many people had crowded the already narrow street. He looked around and pointed to the place closest to the street shop, indicating that they should leave from that side where there were fewer people.
He had to hurry back to the store to do business and couldn't waste time here.
