Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Although the market has the word "big" in its name, it is not really that big in scale, and there are not many things to buy.

After leaving the bamboo weaving stall, Lin An'an dragged Gu Qingsong from one end of the street to the other, but they didn't encounter anything else that interested her.

She randomly selected a few appetizing-looking dishes, wrapped them in oil paper, tied them up, and carried them away, planning to enjoy them with Lin Jincheng when she got home.

Fine grains are valuable, but after only packing up some food, I traded two bars of soap for them.

Besides that, Lin An'an really didn't want anything else.

After all, Gu Qingsong usually wanted to bring back anything good he saw, and his family had everything they needed.

Most of the items sold at the market for exchange look worse than the secondhand items that people keep at home.

As time went by, many people in the market had traded their goods and were ready to pack up and go home.

Gu Qingsong looked up at the position of the sun and roughly estimated the time.

He said to Lin An'an, "Honey, it's getting late, shall we go have lunch?"

Having eaten breakfast early and spent a long time wandering around with the crowds, Lin An'an was indeed quite hungry.

Hearing what the man said, she immediately nodded.

Seeing that his wife agreed, Gu Qingsong immediately led her away from the crowd and took a shortcut to the state-run restaurant.

Gu Qingsong often packed up meat and vegetables from state-run restaurants to take back to Lin An'an as an extra meal, so Lin An'an was quite familiar with the food from state-run restaurants.

I don't have many opportunities to eat at restaurants; the last time I came here was when I had a prenatal checkup.

This is her... Lin An'an counted on her fingers, but couldn't figure out how many times she had been to the state-run restaurant.

Well, I guess I've eaten at restaurants quite a few times too...

Although there was a large market nearby today and many people came and went, most people, even those who rarely come to town, were reluctant to eat at the state-run restaurant.

Some people with extra money will buy a few meat buns before going home to share with their family.

There aren't many people sitting in a restaurant and ordering food properly.

Gu Qingsong led the person to an empty table and settled them in. After asking Lin An'an what she wanted to eat, he took out his money and went to order.

Lin An'an sat alone at the table, listlessly watching the pedestrians passing by on the road outside.

Suddenly, I made eye contact with a short-haired, spirited woman.

The woman paused for a moment, then walked into the store without hesitation.

Lin An'an was somewhat puzzled. The woman seemed to have a clear objective and was heading straight for her.

It was just an accidental eye contact, wasn't it? Why did he come at her?

Is this the legendary "What are you looking at?", or will she reply with "What's it to you?"?

Lin An'an secretly swallowed and looked away.

After timidly confirming Gu Qingsong's location, she mentally encouraged herself.

Don't be afraid, Lin An'an, you can do it!

Lin An'an unconsciously clenched her fists under the table, ready to shout for help the moment a fight broke out.

Although I had imagined countless melodramatic scenarios in my mind, everything actually happened in just a few seconds.

It wasn't until the woman got closer that Lin An'an realized that the woman looked somewhat familiar.

"Do you remember me?" the woman asked.

Lin An'an finally remembered when she heard her voice.

"Song Meili?" Lin An'an asked in surprise.

The woman in front of her was Song Meili. Seeing that Lin An'an still remembered her, she smiled and nodded, saying, "Long time no see."

Lin An felt relieved. It was an acquaintance, so they probably weren't here to cause trouble.

Only then did he have the mind to open his eyes wide and look the person up and down.

When Lin An'an was discharged from the hospital after giving birth, she thought she might never meet Song Meili again in her life.

Unexpectedly, she ran into him again on her rare trip to town.

Song Meili has changed so much that it's no wonder Lin An'an didn't recognize her at first glance.

After not seeing her for more than half a year, Song Meili cut her waist-length hair short.

She has lost some weight, but she looks more confident, with her back straight. She no longer has that soft and weak feeling she used to have.

Having shed her former haggard and swollen appearance, Song Meili now exudes an extraordinary and imposing aura, even when dressed in coarse cloth.

Lin An'an was worried that after experiencing those terrible things, she wouldn't be able to cope and would become depressed.

She looks energetic and vibrant now, so I know she must be doing well after getting rid of that scumbag and his family.

Lin An'an was very happy for her and quickly invited her to sit down.
