"you do not say."
"Looking at this girl, she has a rosy complexion and doesn't look like she's done any hard labor. Her family is probably well-off. Could it be—" the old woman's voice suddenly became louder, "that she disliked the original daughter-in-law because she was poor, and made room for the new daughter-in-law?"
Huo Jun's pupils contracted sharply.
"This girl is blind. If she marries such a heartless man, she'll never see the King of Hell in her sleep!"
Su Wantang was overjoyed as she listened to the analyses of these middle-aged women.
I'm once again impressed; opening a pharmacy near a wet market was a really good decision.
Didn't you see how angry Huo Jun got?
If there weren't other people around, Su Wantang had no doubt that Huo Jun would have rushed up and beaten her to death.
Hearing these words, Sun Qian felt like she was going to vomit. At the same time, she also hated Su Wantang, the woman who had made her lose all face.
She retorted, "Don't talk nonsense! This comrade and I aren't dating yet; we were completely innocent before!"
The older woman rolled her eyes: "Tch, you're completely innocent, and you've spent 500 yuan of someone else's money in one go."
Sun Qian didn't expect that she would end up shooting herself in the foot like this. She glanced at Huo Jun, signaling him to speak.
"Cousin Wantang, you've misunderstood."
“Sisi is my comrade’s younger sister. When your cousin was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, she often accompanied her to talk to her. It was your cousin who brought us together. Her last wish was that we would get married and that someone could take care of me in her place.”
"It's because Sisi felt bad for your cousin that she kept refusing to agree. This whitening cream wasn't something Sisi wanted herself; it was also for the female soldiers in the army."
“I… although I am unwilling, this is your cousin’s last wish, and I cannot let her die with regrets.”
As soon as these nice words came out, the public opinion immediately changed, and the older women praised Huo Jun and Sun Qian for being loyal and righteous.
As a result, Sun Qian also began to think more highly of Huo Jun.
Even black coal isn't entirely useless except for its black color.
Su Wantang's upturned lips narrowed into a straight line.
She underestimated Huo Jun.
but.
Su Wantang was also certain of one thing: Liu Cuicui's death was most likely related to Huo Jun.
He was diagnosed with cancer and died from it?
In her past life, Liu Cuicui lived for several years before stabbing her to death in the street, still full of energy.
wrong.
Su Wantang suddenly realized something.
How could Liu Cuicui, a crazy woman, know where she went?
Could it be...?
Su Wantang stared intently at Huo Jun, a terrible guess forming in her mind.
However, she couldn't quite understand why Huo Jun did this.
Su Wantang suppressed her thoughts for the moment: "My cousin has always been healthy. You're saying she has cancer? I don't believe it."
“Unless you go for the price I just mentioned, 100 yuan per bottle, I won’t let you buy 100 bottles, just 5. If you’re willing to spend that much money, then I’ll believe you have deep feelings for my cousin and that it was my cousin’s last wish for you two to be together.”
Huo Jun looked over with a sinister gaze. Was this guy trying to take advantage of him?
He moved his lips, about to speak, but Su Wantang spoke first.
"Aunties, if this is truly my cousin's last wish, I'll do you a good deed today and give you the medicine you have now for free."
Upon hearing this, the aunties instantly became excited.
They can easily spend hundreds of yuan, and even a few cents can be saved for them, enough to buy a couple more vegetables.
Even if it's cheap, it still costs money, right?
If it's free, who would want to pay?
So everyone rolled up their sleeves, put their hands on their hips, and went all out.
"Exactly, who would believe it if they just talked the talk?"
"If you're so capable, then pay up and buy it! It was 500 yuan just now, it's still 500 yuan, there's no difference."
What do you mean there's no difference?
The difference is huge!
One had 5 bottles, the other had 100; one was a bit dim-witted, the other a complete idiot! You wouldn't do something this stupid unless your head was kicked by a donkey a thousand times!
Sun Qian didn't care about money; all she knew was that her reputation couldn't be ruined.
“Huo Jun, we’ve done nothing wrong, so let’s pay up.”
Huo Jun clenched his fists, digging his fingers into his palms, to suppress the urge to hit someone.
He ground his back teeth and replied, "Okay."
Receiving 50 ten-yuan bills made Su Wantang feel secretly pleased, and the anger that Song Wanying had just caused her instantly dissipated.
"Please take care, and welcome back next time," Su Wantang said, urging them to leave.
Before leaving, Huo Jun suddenly said, "Su Wantang, don't be so smug!"
"Do you know why Lu Huai'an didn't get promoted? It's because of you! But I'm different from him."
"Of course, they're different."
"You're not as tall as my man, not as fair-skinned, not as handsome, and your wife isn't as pretty as his."
"Comrade Huo Jun, don't be jealous. It's something you were born with. You have no chance."
Huo Jun's facial muscles twitched, and his eyes almost bulged out, looking rather frightening.
After a long pause, he finally exhaled and said a sentence.
After hearing this, Su Wantang laughed.
