"I don't care who your dad is. It's none of my business."
After saying that, Su Li pushed the person in front of her forward. Zhen Xiaowan did not expect Su Li to push her, and she staggered.
Su Li said to Gou Sheng beside her, "Let's go! Let's go back."
"You just wait!" Zhen Xiaowan said unwillingly from behind.
Su Li was truly speechless today; she was going to be put to the test by both of them.
Zhen Xiaowan didn't expect that this person would just push her down and leave. This Su Li really is quite arrogant.
So what if you open a supermarket? What's so great about that?
She wouldn't have come to see her if she hadn't noticed that her mother hadn't been able to eat because of this matter.
She didn't believe her aunt's nonsense at all, saying that she had a serious leg injury that was completely healed because of those few apples.
How could that be? It was clearly the doctor's doing, yet she insisted on saying it like that in front of her mother.
Now look what's happened! Her mother believed that nonsense and wants to buy those apples to treat her brother who's been bedridden for ten years.
Isn't this just plain ridiculous? If apples could cure it, what would be the point of having doctors?
She just kept talking until her mother was completely bewitched and insisted on buying it.
This supermarket is like that; it's either out of stock early in the morning or out of stock late in the evening. When her mother wanted to buy it, it was sold out.
On her way back, Zhen Xiaowan casually brought back a bag of fruit that looked quite nice.
I thought I'd take it back to put her mother's mind at ease.
Back home, Zhen Xiaowan pushed open the door and greeted the middle-aged woman inside with a grin, "Mom, look, I bought the apples you wanted!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman excitedly rushed towards her; "Xiao Wan, is what you said true?"
Zhen Xiaowan laughed and said, "Would I lie to you? Look at these apples, they're big and juicy, just like your aunt described."
Mother Zhen smiled and asked, "Didn't they say the supermarkets are all out of stock? Where did you buy it?"
Without batting an eye, Zhen Xiaowan said, "I... I just happened to run into the supermarket owner when I went out today, you know! I bought it from her."
Hearing this, Mother Zhen was very happy and quickly took the apple from her hand; "It just so happens that your aunt came today, so I asked her to help me check if this is the same kind she bought last time?"
Zhen Xiaowan was stunned when she heard this.
"Auntie is here too!"
Mother Zhen smiled and said, "Yes! I just arrived."
She should have known better than to buy it today, in case her aunt found out.
Her mother will definitely give her a beating.
Mother Zhen carried a large bag of apples toward a room. "Yanfang, come out quickly! Xiaowan bought me apples. Come and see if these are the ones!"
Soon a middle-aged woman came out and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Yanfang, can you help me take a look? Is this the apple you mentioned last time?"
Zhen Yanfang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, let's go to the living room to take a look."
When the two arrived at the living room, Zhen Yanfang took out an apple from inside, glanced at it, and said, "It looks about the same size, but it doesn't feel as fresh as the one I bought last time."
As she spoke, Zhen Yanfang picked up a fruit knife, cut a small piece of apple, and took a bite.
After she finished eating, she shook her head and said, "This doesn't taste right. When I bought it, I never forgot how crisp and sweet the apple tasted."
Upon hearing this, Zhen's mother immediately turned to Zhen Xiaowan, who was observing the two from a short distance away, and said, "Xiaowan, come here and tell me the truth. Are you sure the supermarket owner sold you this apple?"
Zhen Xiaowan recalled Su Li's previous attitude, and also realized that the apples would probably not be served again in the future.
She decided to stick to her story and said, "Yes! She sold it to me. These apples are the kind my aunt mentioned, the most expensive ones they sell in their supermarket."
"Impossible, absolutely not," Zhen Yanfang denied outright.
Looking at her daughter, Zhen's mother said, "Could it be that the supermarket owner deliberately tricked you by using such ordinary apples?"
"I don't know that. All I know is that she sold it to me."
Mother Zhen was a little angry; "This supermarket owner doesn't seem like a very good person, how could he bully a young girl like that?"
Zhen Yanfang was somewhat skeptical; "The owner of such a large supermarket wouldn't lie."
Mother Zhen did not doubt her eldest daughter. Whenever there was something good for Zhiqiang, she was always the first to step forward.
“Xiao Wan wouldn’t do something like that. Let’s go ask the supermarket owner later. We can also get some more fruit from her.”
Zhen Xiaowan's eyes widened upon hearing this. If her mother begged, wouldn't her lie be exposed?
"Mom, Mom, let it go! Actually, I just bought these apples randomly. I did see Su Li today, and she said that the apples won't be available this year."
"You silly child, how did you learn to lie?"
"I... I only wanted to put your mind at ease because I saw you were obsessed with that apple piece."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yanfang knew that her niece did not believe what she was saying at all.
In fact, she wouldn't believe it if she hadn't experienced it herself.
She was a key performer in the military arts troupe. During a rehearsal, her calf was injured when a prop on the stage fell on it.
She was left with a leg ailment, which led her to retire from the spotlight. She actually went to several hospitals for treatment afterward.
But it didn't get better. A while ago, when she went to the supermarket, she found the apples particularly tempting, so she bought more.
As a result, after she finished eating the apple, her leg ailment inexplicably disappeared.
