"Where are the petals?"

Pei Yang honestly took out a handful of red rose petals from his pocket and said flatteringly: "I know you like flowers, so I picked them all up for you. I'll go home and dry them and make tea for you."

Shen Mingzhu hummed softly as she pinched a petal. The flower had a rich color and a velvety texture. It was a kind of dark red rose produced in Yunnan.

In addition to being ornamental, dark red roses are also edible.

As soon as she saw the bouquet of roses in the afternoon, she had a plan in mind. Unexpectedly, while she was washing her face, the man's naughty hands plucked all the petals off.

"Bring the petals back to me, wash them in cold water and hang them up to dry. I can use them."

Then he added, "If one petal is missing, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

"Mom, I'll help you supervise Dad. If he doesn't obey, you can beat him with a feather duster."

"So good."

Pei Ziheng got a kiss from Shen Mingzhu as he wished, and his face flushed with joy.

Pei Yang could only feel envy, jealousy and hatred.

…

The next day, Pei Yang went to the hospital to have breakfast with Shen Mingzhu early in the morning as he did before. After breakfast, he went to the factory and continued to sell candy with Shen Chaobei and Du Juan.

There were many factories and employees near the cotton mill, so Pei Yang asked the couple to continue selling there.

He took Shen Hongmei to the Ocean Company.

Pei's father had worked in Ocean Shipping Company for nearly 30 years. With Lin Guofu as his master, and relying on the reputation of the older generation, Pei Yang was able to set up a stall in front of the Ocean Shipping Company as he wished.

"I'm selling candy. Genuine Red Marshal apple candy. Good quality and good price. Guaranteed to taste good."

"Try before you buy. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay. It's 5 yuan for 2 kilograms. Come and have a look."

When Pei Yang was at COSCO, he had excellent working ability and good relationships with people. Knowing that he was setting up a stall in front of the company, many employees took time out of their busy schedules to take care of the business.

In a short while, twenty or thirty kilograms were sold, and Shen Hongmei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Brother Pei Yang, if we keep going like this, we will be able to sell out the 100 kilograms of sugar by the afternoon."

“We’ll call it a day once we’ve sold out.”

"Okay."

As the two were talking, another customer came to the stall.

Pei Yang was busy weighing and packing the candies, while Shen Hongmei was in charge of greeting customers. "Want to buy some candies? These are sweet and sour apple candies, springy and chewy. Try them before you buy."

Shen Hongmei attentively handed over the plate of loose apple candies, but the other party didn't even look at it, his eyes fixed on Pei Yang.

"Pei Yang."

Pei Yang looked up and was somewhat surprised to see Wang Xiuzhu standing in front of the stall.

"Why did you quit your job? Did Shen Mingzhu ask you to quit?"

"It has nothing to do with your sister-in-law. I just don't want to run around outside all the time."

Pei Yang intentionally walked to the other side of Shen Hongmei, not wanting to be too close to Wang Xiuzhu. However, Wang Xiuzhu walked half a circle in front of the stall and came back to his side.

"You love the profession of seafarer so much. You finally became the second mate. How could you just give up like that? Is it because Shen Mingzhu doesn't want you to go to sea?"

"I really don't understand why you would marry such an ignorant and selfish rural woman who will only hold you back."

"She lost your seaman's certificate and caused you to be demoted. The waters where the Taian crashed were so dangerous, but she didn't stop you and let you go to die. Now she wants you to quit your job. She is basically ruining your life!"

Pei Yang didn't want to say much to Wang Xiuzhu, but when he heard that the other party was slandering his wife word by word, his face turned cold.

"Wang Xiuzhu, I resigned willingly because I wanted to stay with your sister-in-law and children and live a stable life. This is my personal choice. Your sister-in-law has never been a burden to me. On the contrary, she has given me 100% support and understanding for my work."

Wang Xiuzhu looked very hurt. "Even if you want a stable life, you don't have to resign. Do you know how much effort I put in to ask my uncle to help you smooth things over and arrange for you to be a port manager? As long as you work hard, you will be promoted to manager in a few years. Then I can ask my uncle to transfer you to the Maritime Administration..."

"Wang Xiuzhu."

Wang Xiuzhu: "I'm doing this for your own good..."

"That's what you think is good, not what I want!"

"You threw away your stable and respectable job just to set up a shabby stall here and let others laugh at you behind your back?!"

Shen Hongmei was not happy to hear this. "What's wrong with setting up a stall? I earn my living with my own ability. Why do you look down on the working people?"

Wang Xiuzhu glared at her, "I wasn't talking to you!"

Shen Hongmei curled her lips, "I don't want to waste time talking to you, but you're standing here and hindering our business. Are you going to buy or not? If not, leave."

Wang Xiuzhu looked at Pei Yang and saw that he was only concerned with weighing and packing candies and ignored her, so she said angrily, "I want all these candies!"

After she finished speaking, Wang Xiuzhu couldn't help but feel secretly delighted when she saw Pei Yang looking up at her.

"How much? I'll buy these candies."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

She took out her wallet and thought to herself, since she bought so many candies, Pei Yang should be willing to talk to her more.

Shen Hongmei's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, "Big sister..."

"Who are you calling 'big sister'?" Wang Xiuzhu was angry.

Shen Hongmei immediately changed her tone, "Okay, Miss."

Calling her "Miss" is even worse, it's like calling her a prostitute.

Wang Xiuzhu glared at Shen Hongmei with a bad look on her face: "My last name is Wang."

Shen Hongmei also became impatient, "Are you going to buy it or not?"

"What's your attitude?"

"Can't you afford it?"

She can’t afford it? Wang Xiuzhu was so angry that her face turned red. “How much?”

Shen Hongmei calculated the bill quickly, "Two dollars and a half a pound. There are probably more than 70 pounds here, so it's about 180 dollars."

Wang Xiuzhu's face froze, "So expensive!?"

"How is it expensive? If you go to a department store, ordinary fruit hard candies cost three yuan. Ours are made from Red Delicious apples, and they are all made of real ingredients."

Wang Xiuzhu blushed and whispered to Pei Yang, "I don't have enough money on me. Can you give me fifty first and I'll give you the rest next time?"

Shen Hongmei rolled her eyes, "You can't say shit if you don't have money."

Pei Yang casually picked up the two kilograms of sugar he had just packed and stuffed it into Wang Xiuzhu's arms, "Take this sugar back to Master and his wife. If there is nothing else, go back early."

Wang Xiuzhu held the candy in her arms, her eyes sparkling, as if she was expecting something. "I came here with my uncle, and we won't leave until tomorrow afternoon."

After waiting for a long time without any response from Pei Yang, Wang Xiuzhu could only walk away dejectedly holding the candy, looking back every few steps.

"Bah! Shame on you!"

Looking at Shen Hongmei's naughty look, Pei Yang couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Hongmei glared at him and said, "Brother Pei Yang, flies don't bite seamless eggs. You should reflect on yourself."

Pei Yang: “…”

He has no seams! No, he is not an egg.

…

When we returned to the food factory in the evening, we discussed the results and found out that we had sold more than 700 kilograms of sugar in just one day.

Shen Hongmei and Pei Yang looked at Shen Chaobei and his wife in disbelief, "Brother and sister-in-law, you sold more than 600 kilograms today?"
