Chapter 102
At the same time, the live broadcast room was filled with comments like "Have you eaten melon today?". Netizens did not expect to eat melon so early in the morning, and they instantly became excited and started to passionately scroll through the screen with comments.
[I was wondering what was wrong with this. It turns out they're not really a couple.]
[That's not right. If they're not a real couple, why don't people around know about them? Aren't they locals?]
[As expected, good-looking people generally cheat.]
I think it's quite acceptable. After all, the boss's husband is in jail, so isn't it normal for him to be with another man?
[How can this be normal? The above people's views are too funny. If you can't live together, can you just get a divorce first? ]
[This is considered illegal, bigamy.]
Five years! He cheated for five years without anyone noticing. I'm sure the boss lady isn't from here, or else her spine would have been exposed.
[This is horrifying! They're blatantly acting like a couple in public.]
[When will the boss lady's husband be released from prison? It seems like he needs to know about this soon.]
I discovered my blind spot. The boss's husband went to jail because of her. Isn't that ungrateful?
【He's definitely an ungrateful person.】
"Would you like to pay? If not, don't stand here and get in the way." The proprietress glanced at Nan Tao with an unhappy look and a hint of hostility.
Nan Tao came back to her senses, not noticing the proprietress's strange behavior, and quickly said, "Sorry, I won't pay now."
Zhou Mei glanced at the proprietress.
The proprietress seemed inexplicably frightened and pretended to be busy counting the bills with her head down.
Zhou Mei said, "Let's go somewhere else?"
Nan Tao leaned close to Zhou Mei's ear and whispered, "The vegetables here seem to be really cheap. Let's buy them here."
Zhou Mei nodded: "Okay."
Nan Tao and Zhou Mei were busy selecting the dishes to be prepared for today. Yu Ze was not idle either, following behind the adults to help carry the vegetables.
"Boss, how much are these beans and potatoes?" Nan Tao asked.
The boss smiled gently and said, "How much do you want? If you order more, the price will be cheaper, and you'll get some green onions and chilies."
Nan Tao: "Okay, two pounds of beans and three pounds of potatoes."
The boss was putting the beans and potatoes into the bag and weighing them when suddenly a hand reached out and took the things away.
The proprietress smiled and said coquettishly: "Husband, let me do it."
The boss said lovingly, "Why are you out? It's hot outside, come in quickly."
The boss's wife hugged the boss's arm and said, "Isn't it okay for me to feel sorry for you?"
The boss's eyes became more gentle. He raised his hand and touched the boss lady's head, saying softly, "Isn't this because I'm worried about tiring you out? Otherwise, you'll be tired again by the evening. Come in quickly. I'll take care of the business outside. Don't worry."
The proprietress pouted her lips and glanced at Nan Tao, "Let's change for a while, you go in and take a rest."
The boss couldn't do anything to the boss's wife, "Call me if you need anything."
The proprietress said angrily, "I know."
The two of them stayed together for a while before the boss reluctantly left the boss's wife and went into the house.
Nan Tao ate the melon with gusto.
[I didn't expect that after five years, they are still so affectionate. It seems like true love.]
[The boss lady is really interesting, wow.]
When netizens watching the live broadcast saw the comment "Have you eaten melon today?" floating on the screen, they also echoed it.
[I'm a man, I understand. This boss is definitely in love with his wife. As for whether his wife is, it's hard to say.]
[Both of them looked at each other with a look of envy. What's going on?]
[What's there to envy? These two fell in love while hurting others.]
[Why do I feel like the boss lady is hostile to Taozi? Could she be jealous of our Taozi's good looks?]
[I understand. This kind of woman who is pampered usually treats her husband as a treasure and likes to have affairs with other women. In fact, other women don't even look down on her husband.]
[I am dying of laughter. This is not really the mentality. 】
[The male mistress is treated as a treasure, tsk tsk. ]
[I think my boss is a nice guy. How could he possibly be so crazy as to want to be a mistress?]
"Is this enough?" The proprietress casually threw the weighed bags onto the stall.
Nan Tao was still enjoying her melon, and now she noticed that the boss lady's attitude was not right, but she was not too angry. She smiled and said, "The boss just said that she would give away some green onions and chili peppers."
The lady boss said unhappily, "Today's goods are few and far between. There's not enough to sell, so we can't send them away. It's up to you to sell them or not. A business of just a dozen or so yuan isn't uncommon."
Nan Tao looked at the proprietress with a half-smile and shouted into the store, "Boss, I heard that your family doesn't like the fact that the business is only a dozen yuan, so they won't sell it to us. In that case, we won't buy from them and will go look elsewhere."
When the other people buying groceries in the store heard this, they were all unhappy.
"What do you mean? We only buy a dozen dollars and then stop buying. So you guys despise us behind our backs."
"That's right. I think you two are pretty nice people, so I always buy from your store."
"I'm not buying it anymore, seriously."
“As the business gets bigger, you’ll see a lot of small businesses.”
The boss quickly comforted him, "That's not what I meant."
"We were all listening. That's what the little girl outside said just now."
"Little girl, we are all listening to you. You can't lie."
Nan Tao smiled at the people inside and said, "I didn't lie. That's what the boss lady said just now."
Most people who come to this vegetable store to buy vegetables come because the owner is nice and the vegetables are cheap. They don’t take the occasional cold face of the owner seriously. Once these words were spoken, they all exploded in anger.
The boss had no choice but to appease the customer and said that he could give away some more green onions and peppers for free today.
The proprietress didn't expect Nan Tao to be so shameless. Her face turned pale and she said, "You are going too far."
Nan Tao blinked innocently, "What's wrong with me? Isn't that what you said just now? I was just repeating it briefly, I didn't do anything."
The proprietress felt aggrieved and glared at Nan Tao angrily.
The boss quickly came out to appease them, "I'm sorry, my wife might be in a bad mood today. Don't mind me. How about this, I don't want the money for the beans and potatoes, but I'll give you some extra green onions and chilies. How about that?"
"What do you mean? I don't agree." The proprietress said angrily.
The boss said gently, "Qiuqiu, stop making trouble."
The proprietress Li Qiu gritted her teeth and said, "What am I doing? Are you attracted to her because she's pretty?"
The boss frowned, "Don't talk nonsense."
Li Qiu: "I knew it, otherwise why would you give her food for free."
The boss gave Nan Tao an embarrassed smile, then pulled Li Qiu behind him and whispered soothing words.
After a while, Li Qiu's expression improved, and he even smiled, but his eyes were still hostile when he looked at Nan Tao.
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows and said to Zhou Mei, "This boss is quite good at coaxing people."
Zhou Mei: "Let's not buy it here, let's go to another one."
Nan Tao nodded. She originally thought that the food in this restaurant was cheap and she could buy more, but there was no need for people to be so mean to her. The owner of this restaurant was so hostile to her, so there was no need to spend money to buy food here. She had almost finished the melon anyway.
Nan Tao took the free dish handed over by the boss and smiled happily, "Meimei, let's go."
The boss smiled warmly and said, "Sorry, you're welcome to come again next time."
Nan Tao thought, this time is bad enough, will there be a next time?
Seeing the boss lady's inexplicable hostility towards me, if there is a next time, she will probably eat me raw. The vegetable market is so big, and this is not the only store where I can buy food.
After leaving, they followed the route the elder sister had told them and went straight to the last store on the road. The dishes looked good and were very fresh. The prices were a little higher than Wang Wei's vegetable store, but not much more expensive. It was equivalent to spending five yuan more for a hundred yuan, which was not much different for Nan Tao and Zhou Mei.
The owners of this store are a middle-aged couple, who are about forty years old. They have been selling vegetables all their lives and their business has always been good. Until five years ago, when Wang Wei and Li Qiu opened a store on this road, their business started to decline.
"We are old and don't know how to do marketing or sell vegetables online. Wang Wei is a young man with great energy. He opened the shop here and the business is booming."
Nan Tao gossiped, "They only came here five years ago? Judging from their accent, I thought Wang Wei was a local."
"Haha, this shop opened here five years ago. Wang Wei is indeed a local, but his wife isn't. I heard she came from the north to work."
Nan Tao asked curiously, "How did they know each other?"
"I'm not sure about that. I just heard that Wang Wei fell in love with his wife at first sight and pursued her for a long time. After all, Wang Wei is already an adult, and his family has been urging him to get married."
Nan Tao listened with great interest, "Is that so? Did they have a wedding?"
"Young people today have different ideas from when we were young. They are having destination weddings."
Nan Tao smiled secretly. Of course she didn't dare to hold the wedding. After all, it was illegal.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
"They are two young people who are quite affectionate. It has been several years and they are still as sweet as ever."
Nan Tao: "Wang Wei has a good temper."
"Of course not. His wife is so beautiful. If he doesn't treat her well, what if she runs away with another man?"
Nan Tao tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips.
[She ran away with another man.]
The netizens watching the live broadcast also died of laughter.
[Hahaha, it seems that we Chinese people like to eat melons. ]
[I feel that the owner of this shop has a good sense of humor.]
[I laughed my ass off. You really hit the nail on the head. She did run off with another man. Hahaha.]
【Eating watermelon early in the morning, what a joy.】
[Wow, so sad. If this episode ends, there will be no more fresh and exciting news to eat.]
[Don't worry, as long as we are still in the entertainment industry, we can always find fresh and hot news.]
[I don't have any other hobbies except listening to gossip. From now on, let's follow Taozi, hehehe.]
"Shop owner, can you tell me how much these are?" Nan Tao asked.
"One hundred and eighty-seven."
Nan Tao: "Can you give us a cheaper price? We'll come back to buy from you tomorrow."
"Okay, how about I give you one hundred and eighty-five?"
Zhou Mei: "One hundred and eighty."
"One hundred and eighty is one hundred and eighty."
After cutting down seven dollars in one sitting, Nan Tao held the vegetables in her hands contentedly.
In addition to vegetables, the three of them also went to the butcher shop to buy ribs, chicken feet, mutton, etc., spending another three hundred and ninety yuan.
"It's so heavy~" Nan Tao carried the bag with both hands with difficulty.
Zhou Mei's hands were also full, and Yu Ze was no exception.
It took more than twenty minutes to walk from the vegetable market back to the small restaurant. It was quite tiring to carry the things back on foot, so the three of them walked for a while and rested for a while.
Nan Tao: "I'm so tired. We have to borrow an electric car tomorrow."
Zhou Mei agreed.
The three of them rested for a while and continued walking. Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side.
"It's so heavy, do you want me to help you carry it?"
Nan Tao looked up and saw a tall and strong man with a shaved head and a smiling face. He looked kind, but one can never know a person's heart by his appearance, so it was better to be cautious when going out.
"No, we can do it ourselves."
Zhang Ba scratched his head. "I saw you were carrying quite a lot, so I just wanted to help. There's nothing else to it."
Nan Tao looked at the sincerity in the man's eyes and laughed. It seemed that she had thought too much. This man really wanted to help. After thinking about it, she turned around and asked Zhou Mei.
Zhou Mei: "Thank you."
Zhang Ba easily took the bags, large and small, and described a person's appearance as he walked. He asked, "Excuse me, I'm just trying to help you. I just want to know if you've seen this person before."
After listening to Zhang Ba's description, Nan Tao already had some doubts in her heart, and when she heard Yu Ze's inner voice, she was completely confirmed.
[It turns out that Zhang Ba was the one who was cheated on by the boss lady.]
[No wonder the description just now was so similar.]
