Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lan Shu pretended to be surprised. Then, her tone changed. “We’ve only been divorced for a month and you already have a new girlfriend. You’re really capable.”
On the surface, she sounded like she was praising Xu Yunjie for being capable, but she was secretly ‘enlightening’ Li Xiumei.
Li Xiumei heard that Xu Yunjie had only been divorced for a month!
She had contacted Xu Yunjie half a year ago and met him a month ago!
In that case, Xu Yunjie actually wrote a letter to confess to her while he still had a wife!
He even met her right after he got divorced?
At that time, when they met, they were deeply in love and even kissed.
Even though Xu Yunjie was already divorced at that time, he was able to sweet-talk her without any psychological burden when he had just gotten a divorce…
Li Xiumei suddenly felt that she didn’t know this man who had dated her in university for more than a year!
In a fit of anger, Li Xiumei raised her hand and slapped Xu Yunjie’s face.
“Xu Yunjie, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!”
With that, she turned around and left the mall angrily.
Of course, before she left, she did not forget to bring the dress that Xu Yunjie had just bought for her.
Originally, Li Xiumei had planned to stay in the county for another day to accompany her boyfriend.
But now, she didn’t plan to be with Xu Yunjie anymore!
At the side, Lan Shu watched as Xu Yunjie was slapped by a woman and felt that he deserved it.
Initially, she thought that Xu Yunjie would chase after her immediately to salvage the situation. However, she did not expect him to stand in front of her and speak fiercely.
“Lan Shu, do you think I’ll take another look at you just because you’ve ruined my relationship with Xiumei?”
Lan Shu: “?”
“Can you have some self-awareness?” she really couldn’t help but retort.
“What do you have that makes you worthy of me spending so much effort to make you stay?”
“Do I want a poor man? Do I want a short man? Do I want someone with a problem in their character? Do I want a scheming and ungrateful man? Do I want someone who has knowledge but no class? Do I want someone who doesn’t know how to be human?”
Lan Shu had had enough of this ordinary yet overly confident scumbag!
Xu Yunjie had never been belittled like this before!
He was furious and wanted to refute Lan Shu’s words, but he realized that he was actually rendered speechless by Lan Shu. For a moment, he didn’t know how to refute.
As the two of them quarreled, there were many busybodies watching in the mall.
Upon hearing Lan Shu’s words, it turned out that Xu Yunjie, who looked like a decent person, was actually a scumbag. He had just divorced, yet he had found a new lover. These people immediately thought of him as a scumbag who cheated on his wife and found himself a mistress!
He was even despised and scolded by many passersby.
Some people said that if it weren’t for the reformation, a guy like him who did such inhumane things would have long been tied up and beaten up on the streets. Everyone would have spat on him!
The other onlookers immediately nodded in agreement.
Xu Yunjie only realized that he was in a very bad situation when he saw that more and more people were pointing at him and cursing him!
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone shout from the side, “Huh? He’s a worker at the machinery factory on Linfu Street! How embarrassing!”
Xu Yunjie’s heart skipped a beat.
He was wearing the machinery factory’s uniform today!
Originally, his intention was to show off his current job as an official worker in the machinery factory to his girlfriend, but now, he was being despised.
His divorce from Lan Shu had already caused him to be gossiped about behind his back by many people in the factory.
If the news spread today, his reputation in the machinery factory would only be worse in the future!
At the thought of this, Xu Yunjie panicked and immediately lowered his head. He quickly walked out of the crowd and left the mall…
On Lan Shu’s side, she looked at Xu Yunjie as if he were a street rat. She only laughed coldly. “You reap what you sow!”
Then, she continued to buy the things that she and Xiao Bai planned on buying today.
This era was different from the later generations. All the goods in the mall were clearly priced.
Now, after the reform and opening of the mall, many shops had been privatized. It was normal to bargain in the mall.
After the scene of Lan Shu scolding the scumbag, the staff had a very good impression of her. Previously, she had quoted 30 yuan for two pairs of shoes, but now, the staff sold them to Lan Shu without hesitation.
After buying the shoes, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to the clothes shop not far away to take a look.
She chose a light blue shirt and black pants for Xiao Bai. She also found a set of black and white sports-style casual clothes. She only spent a total of 23 yuan.
On the other hand, Lan Shu bought a white shirt that was paired with jeans and a long-sleeved dress with white floral patterns.
After buying clothes, Lan Shu didn’t forget to buy some underwear and socks.
Knowing that Sister Lan was going to buy him underwear, Xiao Bai immediately blushed!
Lan Shu couldn’t help but find it funny when she saw the young man pretending to be calm even though the tips of his ears had turned red from embarrassment.
How innocent!
This sure was a young man!
She seemed to have been like this when she was in her teens…
Although she was only 19 years old now, she had gone through one marriage.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was no longer pure.
…
In the afternoon, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to a newly developed street market in the county.
A few years ago, people often came here to sell things. Usually, it was food, eggs, and other food.
However, at that time, there were policy constraints, so everyone secretly conducted transactions.
Now that they could do business openly, they had set up stalls on both sides of the street.
After Lan Shu arrived, she brought Xiao Bai straight to the food stall.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was not old, but there was already white hair on his head and many wrinkles on his face. He looked old, but there was a light in his eyes.
Perhaps he didn’t have a good life in the past few years, but now that he had the freedom to do business, his business was enough to support his family.
Lan Shu didn’t beat about the bush and directly explained her intentions to the stall owner.
Knowing that the two young people in front of him wanted to buy a large amount of bran, the stall owner was stunned for a moment!
Even if the poor families in the county did not have enough food, they would not treat bran as food. These two young people were dressed well and did not look like they were poor. Why did they want to buy so much bran?
There was no need for Lan Shu to tell anyone what she wanted to do. Her goal was only to make a deal with the stall owner.
“I’m seeking a long-term partnership to ensure a constant stock of bran. You can also gather bran from the retailers here and sell them to me.”
Hearing this, the stall owner finally understood that the young lady in front of him was also a businessperson!
Although he still didn’t know the purpose of the young lady’s bran collection, it was most likely to raise birds and animals.
It did not matter what animals the other party wanted to raise. What the stall owner cared about was that between buying and selling, the profits would naturally come!
Even if bran was cheap and the profits were small, he still understood the principle of small profits and high sales.
