Chapter 191 Let's Mix It Up
Song Xingzhi raised an eyebrow: "Then it seems... Meng Wanshu must like to eat it."
"Putting everything else aside, at least he treats his woman quite well, buying her braised food and gold bracelets."
Zhang Chunxue thought about it and realized that, from this perspective alone, Zhong Chengren was indeed a good candidate.
I can afford to provide material comforts—buying a gold bracelet; I can also afford to provide emotional support—buying braised food.
However, all of this was directed at Meng Wanshu, who was the woman he had an extramarital affair with.
Seeing Zhang Chunxue pout, Song Xingzhi knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but move closer to her: "Let's not talk about unpleasant people..."
"We don't have much braised food left. Once we sell it all, we can go home..."
"Mingli and Xiaoshen at home must have already prepared the meal, so we can eat as soon as we get home..."
A smile finally appeared on Zhang Chunxue's face: "Mm!"
Customers who came to buy braised food couldn't help but tease the couple when they saw them being so sweet together.
"Oh my! Looks like this is a husband-and-wife business!"
Zhang Chunxue immediately laughed heartily: "It's not really a husband-and-wife business. My husband came to pick me up after get off work... wasn't he worried about my safety going home alone?"
When Song Xingzhi heard Zhang Chunxue say "my man," his face flushed uncontrollably.
The guests were so overwhelmed by the sweetness that they got goosebumps: "Oh my, this is really...we're so envious!"
An older woman who was about to buy braised food nearby said resentfully, "Look at that couple, how good their relationship is!"
“My husband comes home and just sits in his chair, not caring about anything. He even makes me go out and buy him braised food to go with his drinks…”
"Pah!"
Zhang Chunxue smiled again: "What would you like to order, eldest sister?"
The older woman glanced at the stall; there wasn't much left. "What else do you have? Just give me a little bit!"
She added angrily, "He's just a dog! He'll eat anything!"
Zhang Chunxue was amused by her: "Then I'll give you a little of each... Do you want me to mix them?"
"Mix it!" the older sister gritted her teeth. "I'll deal with him when I get back!"
Zhang Chunxue chuckled, "Big sister, you'd better take it easy!"
The commotion attracted several more customers. The older woman paid, took the braised food, and left. Other customers also gathered around and bought some.
Seeing that there was only a little seaweed left on the stall, Zhang Chunxue decided not to wait any longer.
"Xingzhi, let's pack up and get ready to go back!"
“Okay!” Song Xingzhi immediately got to work.
Even during a brief moment of respite from his busy schedule, he whispered in Zhang Chunxue's ear, "Sister Chunxue, we'll be going to take care of this tonight too..."
Zhang Chunxue was taken aback at first, then realized that this guy was talking dirty, and couldn't help but raise her hand and elbow him.
"That woman is going home to beat up her husband... Do you want me to beat you up too?"
Song Xingzhi touched his ribs where Zhang Chunxue had hit him and coughed lightly: "Sister Chunxue, our 'handling' is different from that older sister's 'handling'..."
Zhang Chunxue's face flushed slightly: "That's enough! We're in the street!"
Song Xingzhi flashed a bright white smile: "Then let's go home and chat slowly in bed..."
Zhang Chunxue blushed and elbowed him again.
After packing their things, the two of them rode home slowly, one on a tricycle and the other on a bicycle.
When they got home, Zhou Mingli had already prepared dinner.
Seeing that they had returned, she quickly came up to help unload the things.
Zhang Chunxue then told her about Zhong Chengren's marriage.
Zhang Chunxue was actually thinking about whether or not to tell Zhou Mingli about this on the way.
But then she thought again, there was nothing to hide from Zhou Mingli. Besides, Zhou Mingli had a stall near the grain and oil station. Who knew if Meng Wanshu would suddenly have a brain fart and come to Zhou Mingli to show off?
Rather than letting Zhou Mingli be caught off guard by the news and show any negative emotions that Meng Wanshu might seize upon to mock her, Zhang Chunxue thought it would be better to tell her in advance so that she could prepare herself mentally.
Sure enough, Zhou Mingli was stunned when she heard the news.
Zhang Chunxue knew at a glance that she had done the right thing.
Given Meng Wanshu's cunning personality, no one knew what hurtful things she might say while Zhou Mingli was stunned.
Zhou Mingli is honest, so she definitely won't be able to win an argument with Meng Wanshu. It's a small matter if the business is affected, but it's a big deal if Zhou Mingli loses face because of it.
Zhang Chunxue reached out and touched Zhou Mingli's head: "Mingli, are you feeling a little sad?"
Zhou Mingli opened her mouth, and after a while, she spoke softly: "I'm not upset, I just... feel a little complicated."
She looked up at Zhang Chunxue, a relieved smile on her face: "Didn't we know he was having an affair when we found out he bought the gold necklace?"
"Actually, I was more surprised than anyone else. It's been a month or two since he got married... I thought it would be much sooner!"
Seeing that her tone was sincere and that she didn't seem too upset, Zhang Chunxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"So let's just ignore him and that vixen! Let's just live our own lives!"
She turned to look at Zhong Yuanyuan in Song Yanshen's arms: "Look, you still have Yuanyuan!"
She clicked her tongue again: "To be honest, if Yuanyuan didn't have her grandfather's surname, and if her grandfather hadn't passed away, I would have wanted to change Yuanyuan's surname to Zhou!"
Zhou Mingli couldn't help but laugh: "Mom, changing her surname isn't necessary. After all, even if she changes her surname to Zhou, it's just taking her maternal grandfather's surname..."
She didn't actually have much affection for her family.
After all, she was a little girl who was disliked from birth.
She has an older sister, a younger sister, and finally a younger brother.
Her beloved younger brother was the most precious member of the family; she and her older sister had both married young.
Her eldest sister was alright, after all, she was the first child in the family, but her younger sister had a very unruly personality. Although the family didn't like her either, she was always fighting and grabbing.
Only she, the middle child caught in the middle, grew up neglected, which is why her personality is so docile... or rather, timid.
But now it seems that she and her older sister are both quite lucky. Her older sister married a worker, and her in-laws treat her quite well.
She felt that she was luckier than her older sister because she had such a good mother as Zhang Chunxue.
Zhang Chunxue gave her a few more instructions: "You set up a stall near the grain and oil station, and the woman Zhong Chengren married today works there, so you need to be careful. I think that woman is a troublemaker; she might cause some trouble in front of you..."
