Chapter 7: Going to the Market to Pick Up Bargains

Mother Liu was not good at lying, so her body language was very stiff. She took out the porridge and soup and placed them in front of Zhu Susui.

When answering, he was hesitant and his eyes were wandering.

"Maybe he was just passing by."

Zhu Suisui just looked at her with a smile, until she felt uneasy because of being stared at, then she picked up the spoon and drank the porridge very elegantly.

This action made Mother Liu look at him a few more times.

When Zhu Suisui had dinner before, he still had some country-like characteristics. Country-people pay attention to eating until they are full. There is only a small amount of food, and whoever eats it gets it. They don't care about pre-meal etiquette.

But the Lu family is different.

Everyone in the Lu family eats beautifully, which is something Liu's mother discovered the first time she came. Only Zhu Suisui eats out of tune with the others.

She sometimes makes noises, even smacking her lips.

Because of this, she even became a joke. At that time, Liu's mother saw her crying secretly, and she became very careful when eating. When others put down their bowls and chopsticks, she would put them down if she was not full. Liu's mother saw this and would secretly bring her food at night.

But now it’s different.

Zhu Suisui's posture is very natural and smooth, just like the Lu family. In fact, because of her beauty and composure, she is more elegant than the Lu family and looks a bit like Lu Lanxu.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Suisui casually wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, the whole action was smooth and flowing.

She continued to look at Mother Liu, and said in a gentle tone, "Mother Liu, I know you are the best to me in the Lu family. If anything happens, you must tell me, maybe I can help you."

This is what was said.

Mother Liu's eyes turned red unconsciously.

She knew that Zhu Suisui was serious. During the past year or so, the person who treated her best in the Lu family was definitely Zhu Suisui.

But in Liu's mother's opinion, Zhu Suisui can't even take care of herself. Others think she has married well because of her glamorous appearance. But in fact, it is not that easy to marry into a wealthy family. Only she knows all the bitterness.

Mother Liu wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Nothing, I'll go get busy first."

I watched Aunt Liu clean up the dishes and then went to work.

Zhu Suisui sighed. How could she not know that Mother Liu didn't want to cause trouble for her? It was just that Mother Liu couldn't solve the problem of her alcoholic husband. If this went on, when Mother Lu found out, she would definitely fire Mother Liu.

It seemed she had to think of another way.

After dinner.

Zhu Suisui didn't plan to stay at home for long. She had nothing to do anyway, so she could go out for a walk first and then go directly to Mr. Lu's place.

Before, she would think that she would wait until all the Lu family members were present before she went out with them, so that the family would appear harmonious.

But now.

Since she had no intention of continuing to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, there was no need for them to act together.

She can do whatever she wants.

After saying something to Mother Liu, Zhu Suisui took the gift for Mr. Lu before going out, and put on a long cotton jacket over her coat, otherwise it would still be too cold when the snow melted. Since she was not in good health, she should not risk her life for the sake of beauty.

He found a box in the cabinet and opened it, revealing a stack of banknotes and some special military supply tickets.

Every month, Lu Lanxu would send all her salary back to her except for the things she needed to spend.

Speaking of this, the Lu family is actually doing okay. Lu Lanxu's salary does not have to be handed over to Lu's father and mother. They all have their own salaries and don't think about Lu Lanxu's money.

Therefore, in terms of money, Zhu Suisui is actually quite well-off.

Lu Lanxu's salary is not low, now it is 287 yuan per month. Because it is a new position, half a year ago, the salary was around 253 yuan.

If you calculate it this way, she got married in September last year, and it has been more than a year now. In addition to the money she uses on a daily basis, there is also the money left by Lu Lanxu herself. Basically, the money Lu Lanxu sent back is around 150 yuan. The total is... 1,873.65 yuan!

It's a huge sum of money.

This was just the savings for one year; Lu Lanxu had not saved any of her previous salary.

He was not married at that time, and almost all of his salary was spent in the army, either to give to his soldiers who were injured or discharged, or to his family members who died.

The situation got better after I married Zhu Suisui.

No matter how much his salary was, he would at least guarantee to send her 150 yuan for household expenses. As for the rest, whether he used it himself or gave it to others, Zhu Suisui didn't want to care.

She took out five hundred yuan from it.

After all, this is the common property of the couple, so Zhu Suisui feels at ease taking it.

Anyway, when she makes money in the future, she will return it to Lu Lanxu with interest.

Not to be angry.

But she didn't want to be accused by others of taking advantage of the Lu family after the divorce.

He also doesn't want to have anything to do with Lu Lanxu.

She wanted to come clean and leave cleanly.

This is Zhu Suisui’s pride.

Zhu Suisui planned to go out and take a stroll in Panjia Lane.

In Panjia Lane of the old city, many people have set up stalls since the Qing Dynasty. It is the legendary "ghost market". Although it is a place where all kinds of people come, it has a great history.

The artifacts here may be more complete than those in museums. In the 1990s, there were even museums that came here to trade, but the experts were fooled and ended up buying fakes, which was really embarrassing.

This incident immediately made Panjia Lane famous.

Zhu Suisui had read this news, but he just watched it for fun at the time. After all, he knew nothing and would be a lamb to be slaughtered if he went there.

If you want to find bargains, you need to have good eyesight, experience, and the ability to distinguish.

Zhu Suisui didn't understand anything, but she wanted to go there and try out her special abilities.

Do whatever you want.

Zhu Suisui went out to wait for the tram and went all the way to Panjia Lane.

It was almost two o'clock now.

She was just planning to wander around here and see if the fog would appear again, mainly to test her own abilities. When the time came, she would have to hurry to Mr. Lu's place.

Once you arrive at the place.

Zhu Suisui found that this place was surprisingly lively.

The entire street was lined with small stalls. The vendors were wrapped in military coats, with their hands in their pockets, sitting in the front. Some were shouting, while others were silent.

Panjiaxiang is not very famous now. People who can come here are those who know something about antiques and want to try to pick up bargains.

Unlike many tourists who came here later because of its reputation, there were many things they didn’t understand.

Only on the street.

Some were spinning two walnuts on a string in their hands, while others were holding cricket cages and bird cages.

Most of them are over 40 years old.

Zhu Suisui walked around here for a while, but didn't see any fog, which made him even more disappointed.

Is it really my illusion?

Right at this moment.

A child ran over and accidentally bumped into her. She instinctively used her hands to support herself, but luckily she almost broke something on the stall next to her.

It would be troublesome if someone accused me of this.

The vendor really shouted, "Be careful, there are treasures here. If you damage them, I won't be able to compensate you even if I sell you!"

I wish Suisui to apologize as soon as possible.

When the other party saw that she was so beautiful and had not really damaged her things, his tone immediately softened, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Zhu Suisui moved his hand, revealing a small gadget that was covered by other objects.

After seeing it clearly, her breathing stopped.
