Chapter 102

At the same time, the question "Have you eaten melon today?" was flooding the screen with comments from netizens in the live broadcast room. Netizens did not expect to eat melon so early in the morning, and they instantly became excited and started to passionately scroll through the screen.

[I was wondering what was wrong with this. It turns out that these two people are not a real couple.]

[That's not right. If they are not a real couple, why don't people around know about them? Are they not locals? ]

[As expected, good-looking people are mostly unfaithful. 】

[I think this is quite acceptable. After all, the boss’s husband is in jail for breaking the law. Isn’t it normal for her to be with another man?]

[How can this be normal? The above people’s values ​​are too funny. If you can’t live together, can you just get a divorce first? 】

[This is considered illegal, bigamy. 】

[Five years! She cheated on him for five years without being discovered. I am sure that the boss lady is not a local, otherwise her spine would have been exposed.]

[This is horrible. They are brazenly acting like a couple in public.]

[When will the boss's husband be released from prison? It seems like he needs to know about this soon.]

[I discovered my blind spot. The boss lady’s husband went to jail because of her. This is called ungratefulness.]

[He is definitely an ungrateful person. 】

"Would you like to settle the bill? If not, don't stand here and cause trouble." The proprietress glanced at Nan Tao with an unhappy look and a hint of hostility.

Nan Tao came back to her senses, not noticing the boss lady's strange behavior, and quickly said, "Sorry, I won't pay the bill now."

Zhou Mei glanced at the proprietress.

The proprietress seemed inexplicably frightened and pretended to be busy with the accounts with her head down.

Zhou Mei said: "Let's go somewhere else?"

Nan Tao leaned over to Zhou Mei's ear and whispered, "The food here seems to be really cheap. Let's buy it here."

Zhou Mei nodded: "Okay."

Nan Tao and Zhou Mei were busy selecting the dishes to be prepared for today. Yu Ze was also not idle, following behind the adults to help carry the vegetables.

"Boss, how much are these beans and potatoes?" Nan Tao asked.

The boss smiled warmly and said, "How much do you want? If you order more, the price will be cheaper, and you can get some scallions and chilies for free."

Nan Tao: "Okay, two pounds of beans and three pounds of potatoes."

The boss was putting the beans and potatoes into the bag and weighing them when suddenly a hand reached out and took the things away.

The proprietress smiled and said coquettishly, "Honey, let me do it."

The boss said lovingly, "Why did you come out? It's hot outside, come back in quickly."

The boss's wife hugged the boss's arm and said, "Is it not okay for me to feel sorry for you?"

The boss's eyes became more gentle. He raised his hand and touched the boss's wife's head, saying gently, "Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll be tired? Otherwise, you'll be tired again at night. Come in quickly. I'll take care of the business outside. Don't worry."

The proprietress pouted her lips and glanced at Nan Tao, "Let's switch for a while, you go in and take a rest."

The boss couldn't do anything to the boss's wife, "Call me if you need anything."

The proprietress said angrily, "I know."

The two of them chatted for a while before the boss reluctantly left the boss's wife and went into the house.

Nan Tao ate the melon with gusto.

[I didn't expect that after five years, they are still so affectionate. It seems like true love.]

[The boss lady is really interesting. Tsk tsk.]

When netizens who were watching the live broadcast saw the pop-up message "Have you eaten melons today?", they also echoed it.

[I am a man, I understand, this boss is definitely in love with the boss's wife, as for whether the boss's wife is true, it is hard to say.]

[Both of them looked at each other with a look of envy. What's going on?]

【What's there to envy? These two people love each other at the cost of hurting others.】

[Why do I feel like the boss lady is hostile to Taozi? Could it be that she is jealous of our Taozi's good looks? ]

[I understand. This kind of woman who is held in the palm of someone's hand usually treats her man as a treasure and likes to have affairs with other women. In fact, other women don't even look down on her husband.]

[I am dying of laughter. This is not really the mentality. 】

[The male mistress is treated as a treasure, tsk tsk. ]

[I think my boss is a nice person, how could he be so crazy as to like being a mistress?]

"Is this enough?" The proprietress threw the weighed bags onto the stall perfunctorily.

Nan Tao was still enjoying her melons, and now she noticed that the boss lady's attitude was not right, but she was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "The boss just said that she would give away green onions and chilies."

The lady boss said unhappily, "Today's goods are few and far between. We can't deliver them. You can sell them if you want. A business of a dozen bucks is not a big deal."

Nan Tao looked at the proprietress with a half-smile and shouted into the store, "Boss, I heard that you guys don't want to sell to us because you think it's hard to make a business worth a dozen bucks. If that's the case, then we won't buy from you and go look somewhere else."

After hearing this, other people who were buying vegetables in the store became unhappy.

"What do you mean? We all stopped buying after paying a dozen bucks. So you guys are disliking us behind our backs."

"That's right. I think you two are nice people, so I always buy things from your store."

"I won't buy it anymore, really."

"Sure enough, when the business gets bigger, you start to see a lot of small businesses."

The boss quickly comforted him, "That's not what I meant."

"We are all listening. That's what the girl outside said just now."

"Little girl, we are all listening to you. Don't lie."

Nan Tao smiled at the people inside and said, "I'm not lying. That's what the boss lady said just now."

Most of the people who come to this vegetable store to buy vegetables come because the owner is a nice person and the prices are cheap. They don't care if the boss lady looks cold sometimes, so when these words are heard, they all explode.

The boss had no choice but to appease the customer and said that he could give him some more green onions and chilies for free today.

The proprietress didn't expect Nan Tao to be so shameless. Her face turned pale and she said, "You are really going too far."

Nan Tao blinked innocently, "What's wrong with me? Isn't that what you said just now? I just repeated it and didn't do anything."

The proprietress felt aggrieved and glared at Nan Tao with resentment.

The boss came out to comfort them, "I'm sorry, my wife might be in a bad mood today, please don't mind, how about this, I don't want to pay for the beans and potatoes, and I'll give you some more green onions and peppers, how about that?"

"What do you mean? I don't agree." The proprietress said angrily.

The boss said gently, "Qiuqiu, stop making trouble."

The lady boss Li Qiu gritted her teeth and said, "What am I doing? Did you fall in love with her because she's pretty?"

The boss frowned, "Don't talk nonsense."

Li Qiu: "I knew it, otherwise why would you give her food for free?"

The boss gave Nan Tao an embarrassed smile, then pulled Li Qiu behind him and comforted him in a low voice.

After a while, Li Qiu's complexion improved, and he even smiled, but he still looked at Nan Tao with hostility.

Nan Tao raised her eyebrows and said to Zhou Mei, "This boss is quite good at coaxing people."

Zhou Mei: "Let's not buy it here, let's go to another store."

Nan Tao nodded. She had originally thought that the food in this restaurant was cheap and she could buy more, but there was no need for people to be so hard on her. The proprietress of this restaurant was so hostile to her, there was no need for her to spend money to buy food here. She had almost finished the melon anyway.

Nan Tao took the free dish handed over by the boss and smiled happily, "Meimei, let's go."

The boss smiled and said, "Sorry, please come again next time."

Nan Tao thought, this time is already annoying enough, will there be a next time?

Seeing the inexplicable hostility of the proprietress towards me, if it happens again, she will probably eat me alive. The vegetable market is so big, and this is not the only store where I can buy food.

After leaving, we followed the route the elder sister had told us and went straight to the last store on this road. The dishes looked good and were all very fresh. The price was a little more expensive than Wang Wei’s vegetable store, but not that much. It was equivalent to spending five yuan more for a hundred yuan, which was not much of a difference for Nan Tao and Zhou Mei.

The owners of this store are a middle-aged couple, who are about forty years old. They have been selling vegetables all their lives and their business has always been good. Until five years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Wang Wei and Li Qiu opened a store on this road, their business declined.

"We are old and don't know how to do marketing or sell vegetables online. Wang Wei is a young man who is very energetic. He opened a shop here and the business is booming."

Nan Tao gossiped, "They only came here five years ago? From the accent, I thought Wang Wei was a local here."

"Haha, this shop was opened here five years ago. Wang Wei is indeed a local, but his wife is not. I heard that she came here from the north to work."

Nan Tao asked curiously, "How did they know each other?"

"I'm not sure about that. I only heard that Wang Wei fell in love with his wife at first sight and pursued her for a long time before he finally got her. After all, Wang Wei is already an adult and his family has been urging him to get married."

Nan Tao listened with great interest, "Is that so? Did they have the wedding?"

"Young people today think differently than we did when we were young. They have travel weddings."

Nan Tao smiled secretly. Of course she didn't dare to hold the wedding because it was illegal after all.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

"These two young people are quite affectionate. They have been together for several years and are still very sweet."

Nan Tao: "Wang Wei has a good temper."

"Of course not. His wife is so beautiful. If you don't treat her well, what if she runs away with another man?"

Nan Tao tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her lips.

[She has already run off with another man. ]

The netizens who were watching the live broadcast also laughed to death.

[Hahaha, it seems that we Chinese people like to eat melons. ]

[I somehow feel that the owner of this store has a good sense of humor. 】

[I laughed my ass off. What you said really hit the mark. She did run off with another man. Hahaha. ]

【Eating melon early in the morning, so much fun. 】

[Wow, wow, so sad. If this episode is over, there will be no more fresh and hot melons to eat in the future. ]

[Don't be afraid, as long as we are still in the entertainment industry, we can always get fresh and hot melons. ]

[I have no other hobbies than listening to gossip. From now on, let's follow Taozi, hehe. 】

"Shop owner, can you tell me how much these are worth?" Nan Tao said.

"One hundred and eighty-seven."

Nan Tao: "Can you give us a cheaper price? We will come back to buy from you tomorrow."

"Okay, how about one hundred and eighty-five?"

Zhou Mei: "One hundred and eighty."

"One hundred and eighty is one hundred and eighty."

After chopping off seven yuan in one go, Nan Tao held the vegetables in both hands with satisfaction.

In addition to vegetables, the three also went to the butcher shop to buy ribs, chicken feet, lamb, etc., spending another three hundred and ninety yuan.

"It's so heavy~" Nan Tao carried the bag with both hands with difficulty.

Zhou Mei's hands were also full, and Yu Ze was no exception.

It took more than twenty minutes to get from the vegetable market to the small restaurant. It was quite tiring to carry the things on foot, so the three of them walked for a while and then rested for a while.

Nan Tao: "I'm so tired. We have to borrow an electric car tomorrow."

Zhou Mei agreed.

The three of them rested for a while and continued walking. Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side.

"It's so heavy, do you want me to help you carry it?"

Nan Tao looked up and saw a tall and strong man with a shaved head and a smiling face. He looked kind, but one can never tell a person's heart from his appearance, so it was better to be cautious when going out.

"No, we can do it ourselves."

Zhang Ba scratched his head and said, "I saw that you guys were carrying a lot of heavy things, so I just wanted to help you. There's nothing else to it."

Nan Tao looked at the sincerity in the man's eyes and laughed dumbly. It seemed that she was overthinking it. This man really wanted to help. After thinking for a while, she turned around and asked Zhou Mei.

Zhou Mei: "Thank you then."

Zhang Ba took the bags easily, and while walking, he described a person's appearance and asked, "Excuse me, I'm here to help you. I mainly want to know if you have seen this person?"

After listening to Zhang Ba's description, Nan Tao already had some doubts in her heart, and when she heard Yu Ze's voice, she was completely certain.

[It turns out that Zhang Ba is the one who was cheated on by the boss lady. ]

[No wonder the description just now was so similar. ]
