Zhao Yunyun forced a stiff smile as she looked at Yueqing. "Yueqing, you're joking. I just haven't seen you in a long time, so I was a little excited."

Yueqing raised an eyebrow. "I thought that after what happened last time, we wouldn't have anything to do with each other anymore, so I'll try not to greet you if we run into each other in the future."

"So that if you don't like me, I won't like you either."

"We're all adults, let's not make this so awkward."

Zhao Yunyun is now approaching Yueqing again because she knows Yueqing is useful to her again!

But I wasn't a sucker before.

Finally, Zhao Yunyun slunk away under Du Yueqing's disdainful gaze.

Su Qingming switched the things in his hand to his other hand, then took his wife's small hand and gently comforted her, "Oh, people who aren't worth it, let's not take them to heart."

Feeling the large hand tightly gripping hers, Yueqing naturally returned the grip, a smile spreading across her face.

He said nonchalantly, "I didn't care at all. If I hadn't run into her today, I wouldn't even remember she existed."

"I was angry just now because she happened to appear when I was in the worst mood, so I could vent my emotions."

When Su Qingming heard that his wife wasn't angry about what had just happened, he was relieved. If she were still really angry, it would mean that she still cared.

Since his wife wasn't angry anymore, he saw no need to try to persuade her further.

"Teacher Du, it's been a long time since I've seen you come to buy groceries! You're here to buy groceries again today?"

As Yueqing walked to the familiar vegetable stall, she heard an aunt shouting loudly.

Yueqing stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yes, I got married a few days ago and I'm not living at my parents' house now. It's a bit far to come here to buy groceries. I just happened to be passing by today, so I stopped by."

The proprietress's plump face beamed with joy as she kept congratulating Yueqing and introducing her to other businesses.

"Oh my, Teacher Du got married! Congratulations! To celebrate Teacher Du's happy marriage, if you come to my house to buy groceries today, I'll give Teacher Du a 8% discount."

Looking at the proprietress's cheerful smile, Yueqing joked, "Proprietress, you're being stingy. My dad and I have been supporting your business for so many years, and you only give me a 8% discount now that I'm getting married?"

The proprietress feigned grievance and generously said, "Oh, Teacher Du, what are you saying? Do you think I'm a stingy person? I'll have my husband bring you two pieces of pork belly later."

Yueqing declined, "Haha, boss lady, don't do business at a loss. I was just joking."

"We're not losing money at all. It's a blessing for our family to know Teacher Du."

"My grandson was able to get into such a good school as Experimental Middle School thanks to Teacher Du."

The proprietress was extremely grateful when she heard about this! Her family came from the countryside and didn't have many connections in the county town.

The son and daughter-in-law work outside, while the boss's wife and her husband take care of their grandson in the county town.

I'm so bored taking care of the kids all day that I'm thinking about doing something in the county town to supplement the family income.

So, as soon as the market was built, the couple told their son that they wanted to rent a stall to sell vegetables.

Without hesitation, the son immediately sent money back to support them in renting the shop.

This vegetable stall has been open for several years, and now it earns more than his son and daughter-in-law!

Now the elderly couple can help their son and daughter-in-law share some of the burden, but because they bought a house in the county town, their son and daughter-in-law still have to work outside to pay off the mortgage.

Two years ago, her grandson took the entrance exam for the Experimental Middle School but missed the cutoff score by just a few points.

The proprietress had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Teacher Du. Teacher Du was such a kind person; he didn't accept any gifts and helped her with the favor.

My grandson's grades have improved significantly, and he's going to take the high school entrance exam this year.

So they had wanted to give this meat as a gift long after Teacher Du got married.

As for their offer of help, Du Yueqing didn't take it seriously at all.

She helped out simply because the proprietress's grandson was well-behaved and adorable.

When the landlady's grandson has free time, he often helps his grandparents look after the vegetable stall. Yueqing has met him before and knows that the boy is of good character.

If Yueqing hadn't met the stall owner's grandson at the vegetable stall, she probably wouldn't have readily helped with this favor.

A child who knows how hard their grandparents work and will proactively help them is definitely not a bad child.

Rather than saying that the landlady took the initiative to approach Yueqing, it would be more accurate to say that the landlady's grandson fought for this opportunity himself.

When Yueqing finally left, the proprietress still gave her two pieces of meat and a rib to take home.

When Yueqing and her family came to buy groceries, the proprietress would always give them something as a gift, which made the Du family have to avoid the proprietress every time they went to buy groceries.

Unfortunately, the proprietress's stall is located at an intersection where it can't be avoided.

Su Qingming put the vegetables and meat he bought in the trunk and, after getting back into the car, teased his wife, "You have connections at the market now, so I'll have to bring you with me next time I need to buy groceries."

Yueqing said with a smug look, "Of course, I have a wide network of connections."

Seeing her smug look, Su Qingming grabbed her flailing hand and couldn't help but lean down and kiss it.

"Hey, what are you doing? In broad daylight, aren't you ashamed?"

Su Qingming found it quite novel to see Qingqing become shy, especially since Qingqing had a strong desire in certain areas.

However, he knew his wife was easily angered, so he quickly said, "It's okay, we're in the car. Besides, society is so open these days, there are lots of couples holding hands on the street."

Although Yueqing enjoys being intimate with her husband, it has to be in a private space.

"The people you're talking about are all young people who are eighteen or nineteen years old. How old are we? Aren't we afraid of being laughed at by acquaintances?"

"So what if you're older? Does that mean you can't fall in love? Couples with good relationships are still holding hands even when they're in their sixties or seventies."

Yueqing thought about it and felt that it made sense. "Alright, I can't argue with you. Hurry up and drive home."

"How about we go to the supermarket first? A big new supermarket just opened over at the crossroads, it's so lively there, they have everything."

Yueqing asked Su Qingming curiously, "You're so busy at work, how do you have time to pay attention to these kinds of messages? Your work has nothing to do with this, does it?"

"I heard it from a colleague. They said the cooked food there is especially delicious, the fruits are plentiful, and there are lots of snacks too."

Yueqing felt a strong urge to go for a walk. "Well, since it's Saturday tomorrow, how about we go for a stroll?"

Su Qingming nodded happily, "Okay, let's go, anyway, there's nothing to do at home."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car set off.

Along the way, Yueqing kept thinking about what things her family was missing and what she would need to buy later.

"Think quickly about what we need at home, my brain has suddenly short-circuited."

After racking her brains for a long time, all Yueqing could think of were braised duck, braised pork, and cakes – all kinds of delicious food.

Yueqing leaned closer to Su Qingming and said, "What's wrong with you? When we were at home, I was talking about buying so many things, but now that we're at the supermarket, I can't remember anything I wanted to buy."
