Chapter 94 I'm busy pursuing you
"Sister Jinhua, you are right." Jiang Hongmei smiled bitterly and said, "I understand the truth, but I am different from you. You have children, and they are all excellent. You have a future, and someone will take care of you when you are old. I am different. I have nothing. I can't have children. When I am old and sick, what should I do?"
She often had nightmares, dreaming that she was lying in a garbage dump, flies flying around her, her body stinking, and then she died, and no one found her for several days.
She often dreams of giving birth, but the happier she is in the dream, the more painful it is when she wakes up.
Once she dreamed that she gave birth to a lovely daughter. She cried with joy and her face was covered with tears. When she woke up, her tears were not yet dry. However, when she realized that it was just an empty dream, she cried even harder.
Her husband, unhappy about being woken up, called her a psycho and said she was not able to have children and had a bad brain.
At that moment, she was extremely sad and felt deeply desperate.
"Then when you are sick and old, will your husband take care of you and serve you?"
Xia Jinhua felt that this question was somewhat cruel, but she still asked it.
Jiang Hongmei was stunned. She stared blankly at her toes and didn't speak for a long time.
After Xia Jinhua greeted two waves of guests and sat down next to Jiang Hongmei again, she spoke: "If I were sick and bedridden now, he would definitely turn around and leave, and would not stay at home for a whole day."
Xia Jinhua patted her friend on the shoulder and wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.
"Sister Jinhua, I am so glad to have met you now."
After this brief conversation, Jiang Hongmei made an important decision.
She wants to take control of her own destiny while she is still healthy and has more choices and endless possibilities.
Regardless of whether she can get a divorce or not, she will move out of that house and leave that terrible man.
"Nice to meet you too."
When Xia Jinhua first came to Dongda Market to set up a stall, Jiang Hongmei was the first person to come and talk to her and help her take care of Sisi.
She is warm-hearted, loves to laugh, and is generous and easy-going to others.
Such good people should have a more comfortable and happier life.
**
In the evening, Xia Jinhua told Tang Xueli what happened during the day.
After listening to it, Tang Xueli felt that there was too much information and it was difficult to digest.
Tang Jincai and Bai Lianxin are here again? Not only do they want to borrow money, but they also want to steal socks?
Feng Biao went to Dongda Market?
Has Yan Jingshu ever been a market manager?
The aunts and uncles asked who her partner was?
Feng Biao and Yan Jingshu are competing to coax Sisi?
Sisi let Yan Jingshu hold her?
…
What sounds more satisfying is that Feng Biao kicked the shameless Tang Jincai twice.
Not only did she fail to snatch Bai Lianxin's socks, but her cloth bag was also torn into pieces.
Watching the bully pick up the trash is the most satisfying thing.
However, Feng Biao's appearance there still made Tang Xueli a little worried.
"Is Feng Biao staying there and not leaving?"
"No." Xia Jinhua said: "He said a few words to me and then left. He didn't stay long. Teacher Yan left after he left."
Tang Xueli: "Yeah."
With Yan Jingshu around, she felt a little more at ease.
The next afternoon, I went to sell braised dishes as usual.
A few days ago, two large basins appeared on the stall, covered with lids and wrapped in small quilts.
The sign in front reads: "Iced sour plum soup, 30 cents a bowl."
After buying the washing machine, Tang Xueli bought a refrigerator.
It would be very convenient to have a refrigerator in the summer when living in a building.
The night before, she placed six small bowls in the freezer and filled them with boiled water.
After one night, everything froze into ice.
Before going out, she crushed the ice into small pieces and put them in several enamel jars, which she also wrapped in thick cotton cloth to keep cool and set aside for later use.
There are actually quite a few people selling sour plum soup in the summer, but none of them taste as good as the one made by Tang Xueli.
And most of what others make is not served chilled.
In the hot summer, the sweet and sour icy plum soup can quickly attract a large number of customers.
"Xue Li, give me a bowl of sour plum soup, and add more ice."
Those who can be called by name are repeat customers.
Tang Xueli smiled apologetically, "Sister Fen, today's stock is sold out. Come over early tomorrow."
"Please make more. It's only a few hours now and it's all gone! I'm so hot that I'm just craving your bowl of sour plum soup!" Sister Fen leaned over to take a look and said with a smile, "Is there any left? Just scoop a little for me and I'll give you three cents."
Tang Xueli: "I really don't have any left. Come back tomorrow and I will definitely save some for you."
"Can I open it and take a look?" Sister Fen was not giving up and put her hand on the lid of the basin.
Tang Xueli said helplessly: "There is a bowl in it, which is left for my teacher."
"Okay then, don't forget to save some for me tomorrow. Leave me two bowls. One bowl is not enough for me to drink!" Sister Fen didn't lift the lid to look, but she didn't leave after giving the instructions.
She leaned over and whispered to Tang Xueli, "Is that young man who always comes here your teacher? The teacher who taught you something?"
Sister Fen has a generous personality and is a very nice person. She has always patronized Tang Xueli's business.
Sometimes when there are too many customers and we are too busy to handle it, Sister Fen will help out.
Although she was a bit gossipy, she was not particularly annoying. She would not get to the bottom of things or make strange remarks, so Tang Xueli was willing to answer her questions.
“He was my high school class teacher.”
"This class teacher is so young and handsome." Sister Fen tilted her head and took a look. "Speaking of the devil, here I come. Xueli, I'm leaving first."
"Okay, come back tomorrow."
Tang Xueli opened the lid and handed the iced sour plum soup to Yan Jingshu who walked in front of her.
Yan Jingshu took it, took a sip, and sighed with comfort.
Tang Xueli looked at him, "Why did you go to Dongda Market yesterday?"
"Did your mother tell you?" Yan Jingshu drank the sour plum soup in small sips.
Although it feels better to drink it in big gulps, it will be gone in just a few gulps, so he is a little reluctant.
Tang Xueli only gave him one bowl a day, saying that drinking too much would hurt his stomach and so she wouldn't let him drink more.
"Yeah." Tang Xueli teased, "You've almost done all three hundred and sixty trades, right?"
"That's still a long way off! But it's just around the corner." Yan Jingshu paused and said, "I'm going with Feng Biao."
"Oh?" Tang Xueli raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you tell Feng Biao that you went to the market at seven in the morning?"
"I lied to him." Yan Jingshu smiled, "I want to investigate the gambling den, so I have to keep an eye on him."
Tang Xueli: "What has Feng Biao been busy with recently?"
Yan Jingshu concentrated on drinking the sour plum soup and did not answer.
Tang Xueli stared at him, and seeing that he didn't want to answer, she guessed about 80% of the answer.
"He often goes to Limin Hotel and Dongda Market, right? Where else does he go?"
Yan Jingshu answered honestly, "The compound, Tang Jincai's rental house, the factory where your mother buys goods, and the supply and marketing cooperative you often go to."
Tang Xueli clicked her tongue twice.
Feng Biao is indeed not clinging to anyone, but he is more terrifying than clinging to anyone.
It really is haunting us.
Yan Jingshu curled his lips and answered Tang Xueli's previous question: "Feng Biao is busy pursuing you."
Tang Xueli took the empty bowl from his hand and smiled: "Do you have to thank me?"
"Huh?" Yan Jingshu was stunned, not knowing what she was referring to.
"He was so busy chasing me that he had no time to seek revenge on you."
Tang Xueli originally intended to make a joke, but it seemed that it did not achieve the desired effect.
Yan Jingshu said with a straight face, "Then I would rather he come to me to seek revenge."
