Chapter 11 We are just a couple
for a short time Lu Chen stretched out a hand dignifiedly, pinched her arm, and dragged her out of the car. It was completely different from the gentleness he had shown when he hugged Doudou before. As soon as Jiang Hanyan's feet touched the ground, this guy let go of her, as if there was something dirty on her.
Jiang Hanyan's feet were still numb and she lost her support, so her body fell towards Lu Chen. She hugged him unceremoniously, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, attracting countless gazes.
"Achen, you two are here for shopping!"
"I want to take my wife out for a stroll and buy her some beautiful clothes!"
Several aunties came over and greeted Lu Chen familiarly. They also glanced at Jiang Hanyan meaningfully. Lu Chen had a blank expression on his face. The aunties knew his temper, so they left after greeting him.
But their discussions came through word for word.
"Those people are talking nonsense. They say that Lu Chen doesn't like his wife and doesn't like being able to hug her so tightly in broad daylight? It's obvious that he loves her to death!"
"His wife is good-looking, any man would be attracted to her."
"No wonder I introduced so many girls to Lu Chen before, but he didn't like any of them. It turns out he wanted to find a pretty one!"
"Nonsense, which man doesn't want to find a beautiful woman? Lu Chen is good-looking, so he definitely can't find an ugly woman!"
"What's the use of a good-looking man? Lu Chen owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, has no decent job, and is helpless. Anyone who marries him will be unlucky!"
The aunties' voices became quieter and quieter. Jiang Hanyan looked at the person in question in surprise and asked in a low voice, "How many hundreds of thousands of dollars do you owe?"
"Um."
Lu Chen pushed her away and took Dou Dou into the vegetable market. He had to watch over them while they bought vegetables, otherwise this spendthrift woman would buy a bunch of flashy vegetables again.
"This debt is owed by your father?"
Jiang Hanyan remembered that the book mentioned that Lu Chen had an extremely unreliable and weird father who ran away when he was thirteen and had no news since then. He was raised by his grandfather, who was an extremely kind old man. The debt was definitely not owed by Grandpa Lu.
It could only be Lu Chen’s father.
"Um."
Lu Chen exuded a cold aura. He didn't want to mention this person and was upset, so he strode forward and left him a long distance away.
Jiang Hanyan trotted after him and asked with concern, "Have you paid off your debt?"
"You want to help me pay it back?"
Lu Chen turned his head, his cold eyes showing a hint of mockery.
"That's impossible. After all, we are just a casual couple. I'm just concerned about you. Don't worry, I will definitely pay the rent when I earn money." Jiang Hanyan laughed dryly a few times. Although she sympathized with this guy, it was impossible for her to pay off the debt.
Besides, Lu Chen will become rich in a few years and won't need her help to pay off his debts.
It's just that she looks pitiful now, and she can't even bear to eat an egg. Never mind, when she makes money, she should pay some rent.
Lu Chen snorted and walked to the meat stall. The boss was a short and fat man with a ruddy face. He glanced at Jiang Hanyan and said with a smile, "Zhao Di, come and buy meat!"
Jiang's father is a butcher. Although he does not set up a stall in this market, he knows all the butchers in Fucheng, and naturally he also knows Jiang Hanyan.
"Well, weigh me some pork belly, some meat bones, and a few pounds of this lard."
Jiang Hanyan gestured at the meat stall as she spoke. As the daughter of a butcher, she had been influenced by him since childhood. She could tell which piece of meat was the tastiest at a glance. This was her original instinct.
Lu Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say that there was no need to buy so much, but when he saw Doudou's happy expression, he closed his mouth again. Children need to eat well to grow taller. This woman is right.
"Zhao Di, did you hack your brother's dog to death a few days ago? Is that true?" the pork shop owner asked curiously.
He thought it was fake. Jiang Hanyan didn't even dare to kill a chicken, so how could she have the courage to kill a dog? It must be a rumor.
"Really? I chopped the dog's head into pieces and chopped its stomach into pieces. How much do these cost?"
Jiang Hanyan had a blank expression on her face. Every time the boss called her Zhaodi, she felt uncomfortable. It should be the feeling of her original self, but she also hated the name Jiang Zhaodi.
"Pork belly is eight dollars and a half, lard is ten dollars, and the bones are six dollars, a total of twenty-four dollars and a half." The boss calculated the bill and advised in a self-righteous manner: "How much hatred can there be between a sister and a brother? You are a married woman, and your brothers from your natal family are your backers. Your father is very angry this time. Zhaodi, you should buy some good wine and food to go home and apologize to your father and brother. There is no overnight hatred among family members."
"My name is Jiang Hanyan!" Jiang Hanyan was impatient.
The smile on the boss's fat face faltered, and he said awkwardly, "Your father calls you Zhaodi."
"Whatever he calls me, it's none of my business. My name is Jiang Hanyan, and what's my family's business? Jiang Tianbao, that coward, who can he rely on? I killed his dog to enforce justice. That dog bit several people, so it deserved to die. Should I give him an apology? He's just daydreaming!"
Jiang Hanyan's face turned cold and icy, and the words she said were more stinging than ice chips. The pork shop owner stood there awkwardly, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. After all, he was a friend of Jiang's father and an elder of Jiang Hanyan. This girl was disrespectful and what she said was even more outrageous.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I'm just saying it. If you don't like it, forget it. After all, it's your family's business and has nothing to do with me!" The pork shop owner said sarcastically.
"It has nothing to do with you, why did you say so much? And you even asked me to apologize. How dare you do that? Could it be that Jiang Tianbao is your son? Are you sorry that I beat him up?"
Jiang Hanyan said these words deliberately to irritate people. This pork boss often came to the Jiang family to play, and he spoke without restraint. Sometimes he even spoke in a frivolous way to Yuan Shen, not acting like an elder at all.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What's the relationship between Jiang Tianbao and me? Go away, I won't be so kind anymore!"
The pork boss's face turned red with anger. His son was a good student and good-looking, but Jiang Tianbao was not even as good as his son's toes. How could he have any relationship with Jiang Tianbao? He was afraid that Jiang Hanyan would continue to talk nonsense and arouse suspicion from people around him.
The boss felt guilty and drove people away with a sullen face.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Hanyan picked up the pork and walked away. Lu Chen blinked and walked away decisively.
After they walked away, the pork shop owner finally realized what was happening and chased after them, “You haven’t paid yet!”
"Ask my dad for it!"
Jiang Hanyan replied, "I have given so much money to my parents' home, so what's wrong with eating some pork?"
The pork seller didn't dare to force it as Lu Chen was still there, so he had to come back angrily, put the money down, added two more dollars, and went back to ask Jiang's father for it.
Lu Chen curled his lips and there was a hint of smile in his eyes. He felt no guilt at all for taking advantage of his father-in-law, and he even wanted to take more.
She went to buy some vegetables and also bought clothes for Doudou. There were several clothing stores in the vegetable market, some selling children's clothing. Jiang Hanyan went to one of them. The proprietress was a woman in her forties who looked a bit like Xu Donghua. She was Xu Donghua's sister.
"Zhao Di, are you here to buy clothes? These are the most fashionable this year. I'll sell them to you at the purchase price and I won't make a penny." Xu Dongmei said with a smile and took out a few sets of clothes that she had accumulated.
