"You old hag, stop right there!" Chen Shishi's shrill voice rang out, a stark contrast to her previous sweet and gentle tone. It seemed she wasn't as gentle, kind, and well-mannered as the outside world portrayed her.
Yuan Doudou sneered and continued walking forward without looking back. She needed to go back and help with the business at the shop, so she didn't have time to waste time talking nonsense with her.
Chen Shishi was so angry that she took three steps in two, her hair ornaments swaying left and right, completely losing any semblance of the demeanor of a well-bred young lady.
"Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!" Chen Shishi said angrily, her delicate features scrunched up and looking completely unattractive.
Yuan Doudou stopped and said irritably, "Miss, I have a lot of things to do and don't have time to chat with you here."
Not everyone is a pampered young lady, who has endless delicacies to eat and countless silks to wear without ever moving.
Chen Shishi looked at Yuan Doudou with disdain: "Knowing that, you still have the audacity to try and get close to Tianlang."
"I'm warning you, Tianlang is mine, not something a country bumpkin like you can aspire to." Chen Shishi's words became increasingly harsh, as if she had forgotten her own status.
Yuan Doudou glanced at her sideways: "Of course I know. How could I, a married woman, possibly compete with a young lady like you for a man? You can rest assured."
After saying that, Yuan Doudou strode away.
Chen Shishi's face darkened further. What? Now that she was already married, how could she still have the nerve to cling to Li Tianlang? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she ordered the maid beside her to find out who this Yuan Doudou was.
Yuan Doudou returned to the tavern, where some customers were already seated, either drinking or eating snacks like peanuts.
"Boss lady, why do you only have this one kind of peanuts? I think the garlic peanuts at Tian Shun Tavern are pretty good. Why don't you get some too?" The speaker was a regular customer who usually drank at Dou Dou Tavern, though occasionally his friends would invite him to drink elsewhere.
For those who drink, the most important thing is to drink a satisfying cup of wine, but snacks are also essential, with peanuts being the top choice.
There are many ways to cook peanuts: some are boiled in their shells, some are deep-fried after being shelled, and some are boiled and served cold.
DouDou's family mainly focuses on deep-frying, which was quite popular at first. After all, peanuts fried in oil are not only crispy but also have a strong aroma of rapeseed oil, making them a great accompaniment to alcohol.
Even the best food can become tiresome if you eat too much of it. Besides, other taverns have come up with new ideas and introduced garlic peanuts that have never been seen before. They are not only crispy but also have a rich garlic flavor, so they don't feel greasy at all.
Yuan Doudou deliberately remembered the kind person's reminder. She had eaten garlic peanuts before, and they were indeed delicious, but they required a lot of expensive spices, so the cost was not low.
By the afternoon, most of the guests had left, and Yuan Doudou sat on a stool in the kitchen, shelling peanuts while lost in thought.
An Rong walked over and noticed that she was thinking about something. Then, remembering how mysteriously she had gone out that morning, he followed her out of concern and learned that she had gone to see Li Tianlang.
He didn't know how he got back; he only knew that his mind was blank and his heart felt like a tangled mess of rope.
Does she still not have feelings for Li Tianlang? If he hadn't come back back then, perhaps they would have been together long ago. Would she still remember that she had a husband?
