Sun Xuelin and Qiao Xiyan sat on the oxcart, staring at each other with dislike. Neither of them spoke, and they sat at opposite ends of the cart, ignoring each other.
When they saw Gu Sinian and Su Ying slowly walking towards them from afar, Sun Xuelin happily got off the oxcart to greet them.
"You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for so long. Where did you go? What good things did you buy? I think I can smell two kinds of meat, pork and fish."
"Even a dog's nose isn't as sharp as yours. It's true, as you said, that I bought two kinds of meat."
Gu Sinian tossed the basket in his hand to Sun Xuelin, who instinctively caught it. When he saw the fish and pork in the basket, his eyes lit up.
"Wow! So much meat and two big fish! Where did you buy this? The supply and marketing cooperative ran out of fish and meat a long time ago. I heard it was all sold out early this morning."
Su Ying didn't intend to hide it from Sun Xuelin. She was a shrewd person, and even if she didn't say it, he would guess.
"We went to the black market and saw that they were selling fish and pork. Since they didn't require tickets, we bought some to have a treat. After all, we rarely see people in the countryside, so we spent a bit of time there. We're really sorry to have kept you waiting."
Sun Xuelin smiled broadly. He had eaten three bowls of beef noodles at noon, so what was there to be angry about? Even if he was, it wouldn't be much.
“What’s the big deal? The black market is a bit far from the supply and marketing cooperative. It’s normal for it to take a while to walk there and back. If I had known you were going to the black market, I would have gone with you. You didn’t even need coupons to buy meat. You should have bought more. It’s such a waste of this opportunity. My son and daughter-in-law have been craving meat for a long time.”
"Don't worry. You'll get a share," Su Ying said slowly.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. You'll see when we get back tonight. First, keep an eye on the meat in the basket so the stray dogs don't snatch it away, or we won't have any meat to eat tonight. We'll go into the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some sugar, and then we'll go back after we buy the sugar."
"Alright. I'm not in a hurry, you guys take your time browsing."
Gu Sinian and Su Ying walked hand in hand toward the supply and marketing cooperative across the street, while Qiao Xiyan glared fiercely at Su Ying's back.
She's such a big person sitting on the oxcart, and they all act like they can't see her. Is she invisible?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he clenched his fist tightly.
"You vixen. Seducing someone else's fiancé, how shameless. Gu Sinian is the only man in the world, and you're always fawning over him..."
Sun Xuelin, who was just approaching the oxcart with a basket in his arms and a smile, overheard Qiao Xiyan's rambling, which he didn't like to hear.
What is the relationship between her and Gu Sinian? Even he, an outsider, knows it perfectly well, but the parties involved act as if nothing has happened.
They've already broken off the engagement, yet he still has the nerve to call himself her fiancée. He's shameless.
Using her status as a former fiancée who had broken off their engagement, she hurt Su Zhiqing time and time again. Even an outsider like him couldn't stand her behavior, no wonder Gu Sinian hated her so much.
It is indeed quite annoying.
"They're seriously dating, and they'll be going public soon. Who are you trying to disgust with by saying those things?"
"Comrade Gu has nothing to do with you. You immediately broke off the engagement when he was in trouble, but now that you want to turn back, he may not be waiting for you."
"Even if we take a step back and say that Comrade Gu has never liked you, can't you see that? He has only ever felt disgust for you from the beginning. Comrade Gu has also explained the reason for the engagement banquet."
"If I were you, I wouldn't even dare to call myself your fiancée. Logically speaking, Comrade Gu and Su Zhiqing are in love and dating each other. With you interfering like this, you are more worthy of the title of vixen than Su Zhiqing."
"you!"
Qiao Xiyan's face turned a riot of colors with anger, and her expression was even more fascinating.
"You always protect Su Ying while you despise and belittle me. What benefits has she given you, or are you having an affair with her?"
"You even said you were good brothers with Gu Sinian, sharing a woman, don't you find it disgusting?"
Qiao Xiyan deliberately raised her voice when she said this, and the two people who came out hand in hand heard her. Gu Sinian's face was as black as ink, and his steps were fast and full of anger.
He had already forgotten about Su Ying's existence. Now he wished he could strangle that disgusting woman who was spreading rumors. How could a girl utter such filthy and shameless vulgarities?
"Wait for me!"
Gu Sinian is very angry right now and automatically blocks out everything around him.
Su Ying had no choice but to jog to catch up with Gu Sinian's pace. For the first time, she clearly realized how long a man's legs really were.
She could barely keep up with others, taking two steps at a time, feeling utterly helpless.
Gu Sinian's mind was filled with the foul language Qiao Xiyan had just used, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
He strode forward and soon stood behind Qiao Xiyan, his angry eyes calmly fixed on her back.
Qiao Xiyan felt a chill run down her spine for no reason, and she had a creepy feeling about her. Just as Sun Xuelin was about to curse this ignorant and arrogant woman, he looked up and saw Gu Sinian standing behind Qiao Xiyan with a meaningful smile on his face.
The person who deals with mentally ill people is here. If he continues arguing with them, he'll definitely get so angry he'll faint.
He and his wife were in a free-love relationship, and he finally managed to marry her. If she took his and Su Zhiqing's vulgar words seriously, he'd be the department head for half a month!
And wives are the hardest to please.
If it weren't for the fact that she's a girl, I would have slapped her to vent my anger.
He's a married man, yet people are making up stories about him like this. How innocent Su Zhiqing is! A young, unmarried woman has been falsely accused of having affairs with two men all at once.
