Wang Guihua didn't answer but asked, "Is Lu Chen okay?"
"Nothing." Cheng Mingyue replied vaguely, then asked: "Mom, is there anything you want to buy?"
Wang Guihua's face turned a little unnatural: "We saw the man selling wooden basins again."
Cheng Mingyue frowned and asked, "Did he embarrass you?"
"No."
"That's fine if you don't have one, Mom. Do you still want to buy a basin?"
Wang Guihua was a little stunned: "Ah? Yue'er, you don't want to buy things from him again?!"
Cheng Mingyue chuckled: "Yeah, let's go and pick a few more to take back."
Last time, Li Da Laba said that she had one at home, but many days have passed and there is no sign of even a pot.
If you really want to buy something, it doesn't matter who you buy from.
Cheng Mingyue was really free-spirited and didn't take the previous unpleasantness to heart at all. She pulled Wang Guihua and the others to the carpenter's stall again.
"Pick whatever you need..." the carpenter greeted them warmly, but when he looked up and saw Cheng Mingyue and the others, his smile froze on his face.
Cheng Mingyue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why, you don't welcome us?"
The carpenter was only stunned for a moment, then he smiled again:
"How could that be? Just look at what you need. I'll definitely give you the lowest price this time."
He is really a man who can bend and stretch.
Cheng Mingyue tugged at Wang Guihua, who looked a little dazed.
"Mom, did you hear that? The boss wants to give us the lowest price. Why don't you pick a few more pieces?"
When Wang Guihua appeared for the first time, she wondered why Yue'er was so shameless.
He had a conflict with someone not long ago, so how could he remain calm and come to buy things from that person again?
Finally, under Cheng Mingyue's repeated urging, Wang Guihua picked three wooden basins of different sizes, while Cheng Mingyue picked two slightly shallower wooden barrels.
She planned to take it back and use it to soak her feet with Lu Chen every night.
When she was about to pay, she saw some small items on the stall. Her eyes lit up and she said to Xiaolong and Xiaohu behind her:
"Here are some little gadgets. If you see anything you like, I'll buy them for you."
"Yue'er, don't buy them anything. You'll spoil them."
"That's right, just go back and ask your brother to get them two. There's no need to spend that money."
Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan held the two little ones tightly and refused to let go.
"It's okay, sister-in-law, sister-in-law. We don't buy toys for them every day. Besides, our Xiaolong and Xiaohu have never bought toys in their lives. Once in a while, it's okay."
After Cheng Mingyue finished speaking, she pulled the two little guys over and let them choose for themselves.
In the end, Xiaolong chose a lifelike carved rabbit, and Xiaohu chose a wooden dagger.
Both little guys were very satisfied with the things they chose and couldn't let go of them.
Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan saw it and couldn't help laughing too.
"Boss, how much are these?"
The carpenter quickly calculated the amount and said, "It's nine dollars and twenty cents in total. Just give me nine dollars."
Cheng Mingyue smiled and was about to count out nine yuan to the stall owner, but was stopped by Wang Guihua. She took out the money from her pocket and counted it to the stall owner, then handed the things to the brothers Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan behind her, asking them to help carry them.
Cheng Mingyue had no choice but to put her money back into her pocket.
After they walked away a little, Wang Guihua whispered to Cheng Mingyue:
"The price the carpenter gave us this time is indeed much lower than last time."
"Yes, he said last time that a wooden barrel would cost three dollars. This time we bought so many and it only costs nine dollars in total." Zhang Lan covered her mouth and laughed.
"He already asked for too much last time, and after being arrested and taken to the police station for a lecture, he naturally doesn't dare to do anything rash again."
There was one thing Cheng Mingyue didn't say, which was that the carpenter knew that she knew Li Yunsheng, so he naturally had this consideration.
No matter what the reason is, just buy the thing.
A few of them walked around the market again, bought some odds and ends, and then prepared to go back.
"Cheng Mingyue!" Li Yunsheng ran over from not far away.
Li Yunsheng blushed and asked, "Mingyue, are you coming to the market today too?"
Cheng Mingyue nodded: "It just so happens that today is a day off, so I came here with my mother and the others for a walk. Are you here for patrol again today?"
Li Yunsheng's face turned even redder.
He wasn't supposed to come today; another colleague was assigned instead, but for some unknown reason he rushed over.
Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain.
Cheng Mingyue had no idea what Li Yunsheng was thinking, she just greeted him as an ordinary friend.
After saying goodbye, Cheng Mingyue was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Yunsheng.
"Mingyue, I have something to tell you. Let's go over there and talk."
Without thinking too much, Cheng Mingyue followed Li Yunsheng to a slightly secluded place.
"Officer Li, what's wrong?"
Li Yunsheng cleared his throat and said, "It's those people in the grove. We've made some progress these days."
Although Cheng Mingyue already had an idea in her mind, she still couldn't help but ask, "How do you say it?"
"According to the leader, Scarface, they were paid to go to Baihe Brigade to block you. They didn't expect you to go to Zaohua Village alone, so they decided to start the attack there."
Cheng Mingyue could probably guess some of this.
"Did they find out who ordered this?"
Li Yunsheng touched his nose a little embarrassedly:
"I don't know that yet. I only know that person is from Beijing."
After Li Yunsheng finished speaking, he saw that Cheng Mingyue looked unhappy, so he added:
"But don't worry, I've already called my friends in Beijing to help investigate. I believe there will be results soon."
"Thank you very much, Officer Li." Cheng Mingyue thanked him with a smile.
Li Yunsheng was dazzled by Cheng Mingyue's smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly:
"Of course I should. Putting aside the fact that I'm a police officer, you're my friend. As a friend, I should help you investigate this matter."
Li Yunsheng glanced at Lu Chen again, then continued:
"Mingyue, you've been in the West Palace, but there are always people from the Capital City trying to harm you. It's 100% because of Comrade Lu."
If it weren't for his status, Li Yunsheng really wanted to tell Cheng Mingyue loudly that Lu Chen was not a good match at all and that divorce would be best.
Cheng Mingyue naturally understood what Li Yunsheng said.
But they have no idea who that person is.
Besides, they are here now and can't go anywhere, so they really have the will but not the ability.
It would be good to have Li Yunsheng's help.
Anyway, the book says that the second male lead, Li Yunsheng, comes from a very powerful family.
If she doesn't use her connections, she'd be a complete fool.
Cheng Mingyue smiled again and said: "In short, no matter whether you can find out or not, I am very grateful to you. I will treat you to a meal another day."
