"Which eye of yours saw me stealing your things?"
If someone acted arrogantly or tried to run away after taking something, Si Nan would not tolerate them and would shoot at them with a crossbow.
Of course, she didn't shoot at any fatal place, but specifically at the legs, so as to stop the thief from escaping and also to warn people around him that this would be the result of anyone trying to steal the goods from her stall.
Dabai was not idle either. When she was unable to cope with all the geese, she called Xiaobai. The two geese acted like dogs, holding the thief's arms and legs tightly. They also cleverly ran and jumped left and right to avoid the thief's attacks and buy time for Cheng Suming.
Cheng Suming was even more ruthless. When he saw a thief, he kicked him down, twisted the thief's arm with his backhand, and stepped on the thief's face to search for the goods.
If the thief refused to admit it and had quickly transferred the goods to someone else, he would pinch the thief's neck and cut his neck with a scalpel to let the blood flow, forcing the thief to give up his accomplices, and then return the goods intact, only then would he let the thief go.
As for the people on patrol, they won't do anything as long as no one is killed and no one asks them for help.
The couple were more ruthless than each other, and they even raised two geese that were more ferocious than dogs to guard their stall. New customers were frightened by their attitude and either left or bargained obediently.
Old customers were used to the couple's actions, so they bought what they needed with a normal look on their faces. Occasionally, they would talk to their companions, saying, "These thieves don't have eyes or brains. The stall owners who can sell vegetables and rare items at this time must be well-off and capable. They are just courting death!"
"That's right. I thought people nowadays were as easy to bully as they were before. I won't even mention the male bosses, but the female bosses are so skilled and have such murderous bows and crossbows. You have to be crazy to mess with them!"
As one thief after another left covered in blood, Si Nan and his companion greeted all the customers with smiles.
Compared with the mixed customers at Sinan's place, the patients in front of Cheng Suming were much more diverse, and most of them were female patients.
They didn't really come to see a doctor, but after Cheng Suming followed Si Nan to set up a stall here several times in the past two months, many women heard that there was a handsome doctor who saw patients at the night market and charged a low fee. Some of them had some ulterior motives and came to flirt with him.
For example, now, a girl with a sweet face and a nice figure, when Cheng Suming asked her what disease she had, she flirted with Cheng Suming and said in a coquettish voice: "Doctor brother, I have been feeling very uncomfortable recently, and my whole body is not feeling well. How can I treat it?"
Cheng Suming said coldly: "I suggest you go to the hospital to take an X-ray. If there is a problem with your heart, I can cut open your chest and see how your heart is beating after you pay the medical and surgical fees."
He was still holding the bloody scalpel in his hand, his expression was cold and serious. The woman had already imagined him using the scalpel to cut open her chest. She cursed him in her heart as a blockhead who didn't understand romance, and walked away angrily.
There were also those who went straight to the point and touched Cheng Suming's face, chest, abdominal muscles, or tried to hold his hand, but he kicked them away mercilessly, saying with disgust on his face: "Don't touch me! If you touch me again, I will break your hands. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance."
Some people also secretly gave him addresses and contact information, but he threw them away without hesitation.
In return, he was abused by countless women, saying that he was a hypocrite. Nowadays, any man with a little food and material goods would have three or five women around. Why was he pretending to be noble in front of his wife? Who knows which slut he was having sex with behind his back?
Cheng Su Ming was too lazy to even look at them. He was a person with physical and mental cleanliness obsession. If he had not fallen in love with Si Nan and married her as his wife, he would have stayed away from women all his life. How could he be interested in those irrelevant women?
For those who really came to see a doctor, he was very patient and asked about the treatment.
Almost everything at their stall was sold out in one night. Lian Sinan thought the prices were too high and almost no one had enough points to buy fifteen mobile phones, so they were all bought by a man who looked to be in his early thirties.
The other party asked her to pick another basket of fresh vegetables tomorrow and deliver it together with the mobile phone to the military family area at the foot of the stone mountain.
In order to ensure sincerity, the other party paid her half of the points deposit in advance and deposited it into her personal account.
There were more than 2,000 points added to his account, and there were another 2,000 points waiting for him. Si Nan's face was about to break with laughter.
After seeing off the big customer who was wearing a formal suit which was rare these days, she hummed a little tune in a good mood, packed up the stall with Cheng Su Ming, and in a very good mood let Cheng Su Ming and the two big geese sit on the back of the tricycle. Today she would ride the tricycle and take them back together.
After they left, a man hiding in the dark watched them leave, then took a pen and wrote something in a notebook.
Early the next morning, Cheng Suming helped Si Nan pick ten kilograms of fresh vegetables and took them to the tricycle downstairs: "Anan, I'll go with you to the military dependents area to deliver the vegetables."
"The military family area is at the foot of Dashi Mountain, almost an hour's drive from here. It takes two hours to go back and forth. You will be late for work." Si Nan shook his head and declined.
Last night, Si Nan sold a lot of goods, plus the mobile phone points she reserved, she earned a total of nearly 3,000 points, a lot of miscellaneous food, some utensils, a cart of dry firewood...
In short, she gained a lot last night and was in a good mood. For the first time ever, she took the initiative to flirt with Cheng Suming. The two of them spent most of the night together, and Cheng Suming got up later than usual this morning.
Cheng Suming looked at his watch. It was indeed too late. The hospital had arranged two major operations for him today. He couldn't even ask for leave. He could only kiss Si Nan's red lips and said softly, "Be careful on the road. Contact me anytime if you have any questions."
When he went out, he did not forget to push the tricycle to the gate of the yard, and repeatedly told Sinan to call him if he encountered any problems, or seek help from the patrol team, soldiers, etc., and then he rode his bicycle to work.
Si Nan locked the doors and windows, and when she turned around, she saw Mao Pingzhen running towards her angrily, saying something inexplicable to her: "You have to find outsiders to do the work instead of using your relatives. You are really capable!"
She left after she finished speaking. Si Nan was completely confused. Later he learned that although Mao Pingzhen and her colleagues all entered the agricultural park to work, because the work was very intense, they had to work in day and night shifts. They were watched by their managers every day, who ordered them to do this and that. If they did not do their job well, they would be scolded by the managers every day. The scolding was too harsh, and their food and accommodation were not provided. They did not know how frustrating their lives were.
As for the land that Si Nan contracted privately, she did not force Sheng's mother and the others to go to work at a certain time, nor did she care about how they farmed. Apart from her instructions on what crops to plant in what location, she left the land entirely to them to manage.
Sheng's mother and her friends are free at work, and they can even cheat behind her back or make some food to eat, and she won't say anything. How can Mao Pingzhen not be angry?
When Si Nan found out about this, he almost laughed out of anger. Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. She tolerated those people who treated her badly just for the sake of her uncle and aunt.
She spent a lot of seeds that she was reluctant to give away to help them get jobs. It would be fine if they were not grateful, but Mao Pingzhen was still not satisfied and wanted to take advantage of her. This person is really sick!
Where did they get the confidence from? They challenged her tolerance again and again! They really thought she was a boy who brought wealth!
Si Nan decided that no matter what problems Mao Pingzhen and her daughter encountered in the future, she would never help them even if her uncle came to ask her for help.
She rode a tricycle and followed the various signs built on the base roads, and arrived at the military dependents area an hour later.
The military family area is different from the desolate appearance of tents set up everywhere five months ago. Now, there are high-rise red brick buildings built and a semicircular wall is built along the foot of the stone mountain to separate the family area from the chaotic stone mountain base.
At the entrance to the military area, there are red flags fluttering in the wind on both sides, and soldiers are standing guard at the door solemnly. Any outsiders or vehicles entering must be reported to the higher authorities, and only after the information is verified can they enter.
Si Nan parked the tricycle at the door and told the soldier on duty at the entrance where she was going and what she was going to do in the military family area. The soldier in the duty booth called a door number in the family area. After confirming the information, he asked Si Nan to sign the registration book and asked her to wait at the door.
She waited for a long time, and a man in his thirties, who was only about 1.75 meters tall, had very thin cheeks, and was wearing a black formal work suit, came out and smiled apologetically at her: "Miss Si, I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while and kept you waiting. Please follow me."
This person was the one who ordered a mobile phone from her yesterday and paid a large amount of points.
He said his surname was Xu and asked Si Nan to call him Comrade Xu. He asked her to ride the tricycle and follow him along one wide avenue after another. After riding for about half an hour, they stopped in front of a row of newly built four-story villas with separate doors.
These villas are built very grandly. Unlike the houses outside which are just simple red brick and tile houses, the houses here are all tiled and decorated. Various flowers that are rare in the post-apocalyptic world are planted in front and behind the houses. There are two solemn-looking guards armed with live ammunition standing at the entrance, making these villas look much more solemn.
Si Nan knew without thinking that these single-family villas were for the families of military officers above the regimental level.
The Shishan base is the Shishan military's business, so it's understandable that they build their own place better.
She and Comrade Xu stopped in front of a villa that was the most luxuriously decorated and had the largest yard. Comrade Xu showed his ID to the guard at the door, took her into the backyard of the villa, and asked her to put the vegetables and mobile phone in a pavilion built in the backyard.
Comrade Xu said to her, "Miss Si, please wait here for a moment. Someone wants to see you."
"Okay." Si Nan was a little surprised. Who would meet her here?
Not long after, a woman who was about 57 or 58 years old, wearing a colorful cheongsam, with a slightly bloated figure and delicate makeup, appeared in front of her. "Are you Si Nan?"
"It's me." Si Nan stood up, looked at the woman, then looked at Comrade Xu, asking with his eyes who she was.
"She is Mrs. Ye." Comrade Xu said respectfully as he stood beside Mrs. Ye.
She lives in a luxurious single-family villa in the military area and is respected as Mrs. Ye. Could she be the wife of Commander Ye, the top commander of Shishan Base?
Si Nan was secretly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He waited quietly for Mrs. Ye to ask questions.
Mrs. Ye moved her plump body, sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and looked Sinan up and down.
It is already May, and the weather in Shishan is gradually getting warmer. The woman in front of me is wearing a clean white short-sleeved shirt on the upper body and slim black skinny pants on the lower body. Her hair is simply tied up with a black hairband. Her face is not made up, but her face has a pure and somewhat mature and delicate feeling.
She looked quite old, at least 27 or 28 years old, but when she stood there, she looked as beautiful as a college student who had just stepped out of school. She was so beautiful that even Mrs. Ye could not take her eyes away.
Mrs. Ye sighed softly: "It's good to be young. You don't need to wear makeup or take care of your skin. Your skin is so good that people will envy you."
Si Nan didn't know what she meant by this, so he smiled calmly and said nothing.
"Is your husband Dr. Cheng from the surgical clinic of Shishan Hospital?" Mrs. Ye asked.
Sinan nodded: "Yes."
"I've met him a few times. He's a promising young man." Madam Ye pointed to the basket of vegetables she placed under the stone table and said, "If you have any fresh and rare fruits and vegetables in the future, you can contact Xiao Xu and send them here. The price is not a problem. You are living a good life now. I'm going to remind you to live your life well and don't think about things you shouldn't think about."
She stood up and walked away slowly, but Sinan was confused.
What's the meaning?
The wife of a division commander specially asked someone to buy her cell phone and her vegetables just to say these words to her?
After Comrade Xu had paid all her points, she was about to leave when she saw a figure running towards her in a hurry. Only then did she understand what Mrs. Ye meant.
"Sinan, I finally see you!"
Si Nan avoided the excited figure who wanted to hug her, and looked at the man who was speaking with a frown.
He is still the same as before. No matter how hot the weather is, he always wears a long white shirt, a suit jacket, trousers, and shiny leather shoes. His handsome and fair face is well-groomed and looks very handsome and elegant.
This feeling is somewhat similar to that of her scumbag father. They both like to wear suits and think how handsome and refined they are in that outfit. In fact, they are selfish in their bones and think that they can get rid of their identity as poor boys from small towns by wearing such clothes.
How can someone who even despises his own background and wants to get rid of it be nice to others?
Si Nan couldn't help but frowned, not knowing why he had been so obsessed with love that he ignored these trivial matters.
She looked at Zou Shichu coldly and said, "I have been married for two and a half years. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you making a move?! Do I know you well?"
Zou Shichu's excited expression froze. Ever since he caught a glimpse of him on the road to the base last time, he used all his connections to find Si Nan's information at the base that afternoon.
He was filled with joy and thought that he finally had a chance to find Si Nan and reunite with her, but he suddenly saw the word "married" written in the spouse column of her information.
At that moment, he was stunned and couldn't believe it, and he went crazy to see who her spouse was.
When he found out the man's name, he drove Mrs. Ye's private car to Shishan Hospital without hesitation and met the tall man.
The man's facial features looked like they were carved with a knife, and his handsome looks could not be concealed even with glasses. He was wearing a white coat and had a faint smile on his face as he patiently answered patients' questions.
When Zou Shichu was about to go up to meet him, a female patient who was obsessed with sex kept harassing him. He scolded the patient coldly, saying that he was already married and asked the patient to respect himself and refuse any female patient to have any physical contact with him. He turned back to the door of his house and saw Si Nan coming out to greet him home. He hugged and kissed her immediately.
The scene of the two hugging and kissing was frozen in the mind of Zou Shichu who was hiding in the dark. As a result, even though he knew where Si Nan lived, he did not have the courage to go find her.
He and Si Nan have known each other and been in love for more than ten years. They have been with each other since they were young students. He always remembers Si Nan's kindness and feelings for him.
Even though they broke up in the end, he always felt that Si Nan would be there waiting for him to come back. She belonged to him. He never thought that she would marry another man, or even marry a man who was no less capable than him within half a year after breaking up with him!
He was filled with regret, jealousy, and unable to accept the facts. He kept thinking that if he had not been blinded by power, wealth, and Jiang Yiyi, he would have married Si Nan instead of another man.
He originally wanted to let go and live their own lives, but just now he heard from his spy in the Ye family that Madam Ye had met Si Nan.
He remembered the old woman's frequent mischief and immediately ran over from his work station to protect Si Nan.
Unexpectedly, Si Nan's eyes were extremely cold when she saw him, and the first sentence she said when they met was to emphasize that she was already married, which hurt his heart deeply.
His eyes were fixed on the familiar face, and suddenly he saw two clearly visible kiss marks on her neck near the collar, covering her fair skin.
At that moment, he felt the world collapse and an unprecedented despair surged through his body.
He felt as if his heart was being torn into pieces by someone. The pain made his whole body tremble and his eyes unconsciously turned red.
It turns out that seeing the one you love with someone else is so painful, it hurts every inch of your skin and every bone as if it's been tortured.
At this moment, Zou Shichu finally understood why Si Nan had asked him insane questions and roared at him when he found out that he was with Jiang Feifei. This was how it felt to be betrayed by the person you loved.
He tried hard to control his turbulent emotions, forced a smile on his face, and spoke in a gentle voice as always: "Xiaonan, don't be so heartless. I have always loved you, no matter in the past or now, as long as you want, we can start over. I don't mind if you are married, I..."
"Stop pretending in front of me!" Si Nan interrupted him without any hesitation, "What do you mean you don't mind? How dare you mind?! We broke up a long time ago. I have a husband now. I love him very much and just want to live with him. Stop pestering me here and go find your good girlfriend Jiang Feifei and say those disgusting things."
After Jiang Feifei designed to let her see the two of them making out, her feelings towards Zou Shichu went from hatred to despair, and then to grief and heartbreak. She felt that the world was too cold and that no one truly loved her. She had no desire to live and was willing to die to save someone. At that time, Zou Shichu was already dead in her heart.
Later, she met Cheng Suming and married him. The two of them relied on each other to survive the natural disaster. The sweet moments they spent together healed the scars in her heart, and she had long forgotten Zou Shichu.
Her whole heart is now on Cheng Suming, and there is no room for anyone else. How could she believe Zou Shichu's hypocritical words, feel pity for him, and reconcile with him?
That would make her feel more disgusted than making her eat shit!
She rode her tricycle without hesitation and was about to leave. Zou Shichu, who was struck by lightning, stepped forward to stop her, with a pleading look on his pale face: "Xiaonan, I know this is not what you really mean. If you mind Jiang Feifei, or if I have any relationship with other women, don't worry, I will cut off all ties with them after I arrange everything! By then, I will build a big villa for you, plant your favorite flowers, raise two cats you like, and we will live in it and live the rest of our lives well, okay?"
"I really mean it, you big-headed ghost!" Si Nan knocked him away with his bike, and said with disgust: "If you are sick, go get treatment. Why are you going crazy in front of me, you psycho!"
Zou Shichu bet that she wouldn't dare to hit him, so he tried to stop her. As a result, she knocked him down without hesitation, and rode her tricycle over his stomach, then left without looking back.
He got up from the ground in a miserable state, looking at the departing figure, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into the flesh, breaking the skin and dripping blood, but he felt no pain, muttering sinisterly: "You are right, I am sick, that's why I am in this situation today. Since I am powerless to change the situation, I will carry it through to the end and become a completely sick person!"
After leaving the family quarters, Sinan did not go home, but rode his tricycle to Shishan Hospital.
There is no harm without comparison. After meeting Zou Shichu, recalling every little thing Cheng Suming had done for her, she realized that Cheng Suming was really good to her all the time. He was shining in her heart, making her want to see him very urgently, hug him, and tell him what had just happened.
She parked the tricycle in the small parking lot behind the hospital, where there was a staff member who specialized in watching over non-motorized vehicles.
She used her mobile phone to scan the QR code in the staff's hand and paid 0.5 points. The staff locked the tricycle and gave her a key to unlock it. No one could ride away her tricycle unless she used the key to unlock it.
She walked to the surgical outpatient department from the safety stairs at the back of the hospital, found Cheng Suming's office, and stood at the door to take a look inside.
A nurse with a seductive look, who still had a graceful figure even in the tight nurse uniform, was bending into an alluring S shape, lying beside the desk in the consultation room, holding a patient's film in her hand, looking at Cheng Suming, who was sitting in front of the desk and typing on the keyboard, with seductive eyes, and said something to him.
Si Nan raised his eyebrows and did not go in immediately. Instead, he pretended to be a patient waiting in line outside and stood outside the door, secretly peeking at what was going on inside.
