"My poor daughter!" Sun Cuilan hugged her wet daughter and cried loudly. A group of onlookers gathered around her.
"Cui Lan, don't cry. It's a good thing that Dandan is alive!" The woman on the side comforted and persuaded her.
"She's alive, but her innocence is gone. How can my daughter live her life in the future?" Sun Cuilan asked with a face full of grief and indignation, glancing at a well-dressed and handsome young man not far away.
The villagers were stunned when they heard this, and then their eyes all fell on the young man.
The young man sensed her intention, his lips tightened, his expression unwavering.
His name was Cheng Huadong, a sea turtle. Today, he accompanied his father, Cheng Chong, on an inspection trip to Hefeng Commune. He happened to see a young girl drowning and rescued her. However, not only did he not receive a single thank you, he was also tricked.
Feeling the gazes of the villagers, Cheng's father's face darkened and he said sternly, "What do you mean by 'innocence lost'? Isn't she still a good virgin?"
"Oh, listen to me, this comrade is talking like he doesn't want to take responsibility!" Sun Cuilan screamed loudly, showing the image of a shrew to the fullest.
"What responsibility do you have? My son bravely saved your daughter. It's ok that you are not grateful, but you even want to blame my son?" Cheng's father's face remained unchanged. How could there be such a unreasonable person?
When Sun Cuilan heard this, she cried even louder, "Comrade, can you guarantee that your son didn't touch my daughter where he shouldn't?"
Father Cheng choked at the question, his face flushing with anger. Physical contact was inevitable when rescuing someone, so how could he guarantee this?
"Oh, how is my daughter going to live in the future?" Sun Cuilan was secretly pleased to see that the other party had no words to refute, and she cried even harder.
"Ahem, Mom." Zheng Dandan in Sun Cuilan's arms finally couldn't stand it anymore. She was speechless. She never expected that she would encounter such an embarrassing and bloody scene just after traveling through time.
That's right, Zheng Dandan traveled through time, just now. In her previous life, she died suddenly from staying up too late, and before she was reincarnated, she entered Zheng Dandan's body.
She coughed and tugged at Sun Cuilan's sleeve. "I'm so cold. Can we go home first?"
When Sun Cuilan heard this, the smugness in her heart instantly disappeared. She nervously touched Zheng Dandan's forehead, and only felt relieved after confirming that her daughter did not have a fever.
"Be good and bear with it a little longer." Sun Cuilan coaxed him. She was really unwilling to let go of the good opportunity to force marriage.
"Mom~" Zheng Dandan pulled Sun Cuilan's sleeve again, speaking in a soft and coquettish tone.
Judging from the original owner's memory, Sun Cuilan loved her very much.
"Comrade, I'll take my daughter back to rest first, and then come to discuss the marriage with you later!" As expected, Sun Cuilan compromised. She looked at the weak and pale Zheng Dandan, and her heart softened. But before leaving, she did not forget to tell Cheng's father.
"What are you discussing? Where's the marriage?" Cheng's father, furious with Sun Cuilan, fumed and glared. After calming down, he looked at Cheng Huadong, whose expression was grim, and almost assured him, "Don't worry, son. Dad will never let them rely on you."
"Don't worry, my daughter. Mom will definitely make that man marry you." On the other side, after arriving home, Sun Cuilan vowed to Zheng Dandan with a look of longing, and it was obvious that she was already imagining a bright future.
"Mom, I don't want to get married." Zheng Dandan poured a bucket of cold water on Sun Cuilan.
"Why don't you want to get married? Girl, are you stupid? He is a wealthy businessman who returned from China, and his family is very rich. If you hadn't fallen into the water and been touched by him, how would you have had the chance to ask him for marriage?" Sun Cuilan didn't understand why Zheng Dandan would refuse.
"A forced melon won't be sweet," Zheng Dandan said to Sun Cuilan. Didn't she see that they were clearly unhappy? "Besides, do you know their background? It's just money, what else? Are their families kind? Do they have any bad habits?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's sweet or not, as long as it's edible. As for his background, the fact that he can save you shows that he is a good person. My daughter, look at how many people starved to death in the droughts in the past few years? If you marry him, at least you will never have to worry about food and clothing in your life!" Sun Cuilan is quite pragmatic. What she cares about is nothing more than the family conditions of the rich businessman.
The three years of severe drought left a huge shadow on her, and she still feels scared when she thinks about it now.
Zheng Dandan was stunned when she heard this.
When she was dissatisfied with Sun Cuilan's ingratitude and unreasonable behavior, Sun Cuilan was wholeheartedly considering her needs.
Although this plan is not quite correct.
"Mom." Zheng Dandan hugged Sun Cuilan and patted her back gently. "Those years are long gone. Life is getting better and better now. I can live a good and wonderful life without marrying him."
"Ding~ It's detected that the host firmly rejects material temptations, is self-reliant and strong, and has excellent qualities. He has obtained the qualifications to bind to the supermarket system." Suddenly, a mechanical electronic sound rang out in Zheng Dandan's mind. Before Zheng Dandan could come to her senses, she heard the voice ask, "Host, please choose whether to bind to the supermarket system."
Zheng Dandan's mind was spinning. What was going on? Was this supermarket system the kind of cheat code often seen in novels?
"Host, please choose whether to bind to the supermarket system." Seeing that Zheng Dandan did not respond, the mechanical voice urged.
"Yes." Zheng Dandan said.
"Congratulations, host, for binding the supermarket system. Customer service is at your service. The fruit and vegetable section on the first floor has been unlocked, and a newbie gift pack has been distributed. Please work hard to manage the business. By accumulating experience points and wealth points, you can unlock more products and sections."
When the mechanical sound ended, a skyscraper appeared in Zheng Dandan's mind.
The skyscraper was entirely gray, similar to the game's unlit state. Zheng Dandan walked in, and the brightly colored fruit and vegetable area stood out against the gray, unlit landscape.
On the first floor, behind the cashier counter, there's an LED screen with "Backstage" written on it. Clicking it reveals sections like Purchasing, Recycling, and Warehouse.
There were many items in the supply area: chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits, vegetables, electronics, books, newspapers... Unfortunately, most of them were gray, obviously not unlocked. The only ones with color were the unlocked apples, radishes, and cabbages.
"999, what is the novice gift package? Also, how should I operate it?" Zheng Dandan asked after a preliminary observation.
The supermarket is a place for transactions, but the skyscraper was empty, without even a single person in sight. She couldn't help feeling a little confused.
"The host's newbie gift package is a product from the fruit and vegetable section, ten kilograms of apples and radishes each. The host earns the difference by purchasing and selling the goods, and runs the supermarket." 999 answered in a serious tone.
"No way, so stingy?" Zheng Dandan was very surprised when she saw the apples and radishes on the fruit and vegetable shelves. Is this all the novice gift pack has?
