A scumbag man trying to climb the social ladder? She turns around and marries a celibate military of

After Chu Shaoqing entered, he sat down in the rest area, looking extremely angry.

Mu Xiaowan had never seen Chu Shaoqing like this before.

She gave the 30-watt light bulb to the customer and charged him two cents.

The customer held the light bulb, stared at the tungsten filament inside, and even shook it slightly.

"The lights I bought for my home keep breaking. How's the quality of yours? Do they break again before I even get them home?"

"Uncle, no, that's not true. We always compare prices from three different suppliers to get the best quality goods. The price is low because we just opened a shop and we want to attract repeat customers. It's not because the quality is bad that the price is low."

The man was still worried and said, "How long is your warranty? This is my first time buying from you. If it breaks, I'll bring it back to you."

"Uncle, the tungsten filament inside the lamp is very fragile. Please don't shake it, as vibration can easily break the filament. We can't guarantee the quality if it's damaged by human intervention."

"Furthermore, don't leave the light on all night, as it can easily burn out. Also, don't keep switching the light on and off repeatedly. If you can do these things, the light bulb can last a long time."

The uncle, still uneasy, handed it to Mu Xiaowan, saying, "Let me try this. Don't take it back and find it's broken, or you won't replace it for me."

There are no hook lights installed in the house, so I can't test it.

Mu Xiaowan could only say, "Uncle, I don't have any hooks here. If there's a problem with this light when you take it back, just bring it back anytime and I'll definitely replace it for you."

"Then get me another one now."

When she encountered an older man, Mu Xiaowan had no choice but to patiently help him change the clothes.

This time, Mu Xiaowan checked it herself first, then put the lamp into the protective paper sleeve and handed it to the uncle.

The uncle then took the light bulb and left.

Being a salesperson is exhausting; even buying a light bulb can cause so many problems.

After the customer left, Mu Xiaowan came out from behind the counter.

A large tea table was placed in the rest area, with a tea set and a plate of melon seeds on it.

Mu Xiaowan walked over and sat down, putting tea leaves into the teapot. The tea leaves were Biluochun, which Chu Shaoqing had taken from his father's house. She removed the wooden stopper from the thermos, poured hot water into the teapot, and poured the boiling water over the tea leaves. Within seconds, the aroma of tea wafted out, and the elegant fragrance was refreshing.

Chu Huaimin doesn't drink bad tea; this tea is absolutely top-quality.

While the tea was steeping, Mu Xiaowan glanced at Chu Shaoqing. His brows were furrowed like a mountain, showing no sign of easing since he came in.

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Do you want to get married because your brother is getting married?" Mu Xiaowan tried to lighten the mood with a joke.

Chu Shaoqing showed no sign of a smile.

"It seems there really is something wrong. Tell me, and see if I can help you?"

Chu Shaoqing slammed his hammer on the table.

He glanced at Mu Xiaowan, wanting to speak several times, but looking at her elegant appearance, he didn't know how to open his mouth.

“You’ve spent the most time with me these past few days. Although you’re my brother-in-law, I treat you like my own brother. If you have something bothering you and have nowhere to talk to, you can talk to me. If that’s inconvenient, then go talk to your brothers. Don’t keep it bottled up inside. That won’t solve anything.”

Mu Xiaowan picked up the brewed tea and poured a cup for Chu Shaoqing, and then poured one for herself as well.

Biluochun tea leaves are tightly rolled and curled like snails, with a layer of fine white down evenly along the edges. When steeped in boiling water, they resemble snowflakes dancing in the cup, slowly unfurling into a bud and a leaf. The tea soup is emerald green in color and has a delicate, elegant flavor.

She picked up the teacup, held it under her nose, and smelled it.

Biluochun tea trees are planted alongside fruit trees, so the tea absorbs the flavor of the fruit and the fruit infuses the tea with fragrance, giving Biluochun a unique fruity aroma.

This tea truly lives up to its reputation.

Mu Xiaowan took a sip and felt completely refreshed, experiencing a profound sense of satisfaction.

No wonder everyone loves drinking tea.

Who wouldn't love such fine tea?

"A cup of tea can calm the mind and soothe the spirit."

Chu Shaoqing picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that he was drinking tea like it was wine, Mu Xiaowan was very worried and quickly called out, "It's hot! It's hot!"

She was a step too slow, and Chu Shaoqing was still burned, his eyes welling up with tears.

“I just brewed this tea. You can’t take it out on this to get angry. You’ll burn your esophagus. You’re a smart person, how could you do something so stupid as to hurt yourself because of someone else?”

Mu Xiaowan pulled his cup over, put it aside, and poured herself another cup of water. This time, she didn't offer it to Chu Shaoqing; she waited for it to cool down before giving it to him.

Seeing that Chu Shaoqing still wouldn't speak, Mu Xiaowan stood up.

I took the watering can and went to water the flowers.

These roses and bougainvillea were a gift from Jiang Yinglan. They are very beautiful. The shop has a warm atmosphere, making it perfect for growing these flowers. The flowers are blooming beautifully, and you can even smell their fragrance when you get closer.

Mu Xiaowan wasn't a flower lover, but in this bleak winter, the presence of some brightly colored and green plants added a touch of vitality, making people feel happy.

"Oh, a friend of yours surnamed Han brought over a watch this morning and asked you to fix it for him. He said he needs it the day after tomorrow and wants it cleaned. If there's a suitable case, please help him replace it. He said he wants to give it away as a gift. I've put the watch up here for you."

“The shop is getting back on track these past few days, and I'm watching the counter. When you're not busy, do some repairs; it'll help you practice your skills and earn some extra money.”

After watering the flowers, Mu Xiaowan went to the cashier and withdrew five hundred yuan to give to Chu Shaoqing.

“I’ve been too busy these past two days to take care of this. This is the money we earned. We’ll split it 50/50. After deducting the money from the investment materials and the electronics factory’s cut, and Qi Haiyang’s 200, we’ll each get 500.”

Chu Shaoqing looked at the stack of ten-yuan bills tucked inside the paper, but he didn't feel the joy he used to have.

Mu Xiaowan frowned. This kid used to have his eyes light up when he saw money, but today he seemed listless and uninterested in it.

However, since Chu Shaoqing didn't want to talk about it, she couldn't force him to.

Another elderly woman came in, needing to buy flashlight batteries, and Mu Xiaowan gave her two.

The old woman said, "I don't know how my batteries got damp. I put them on the heated kang last night, and they've been there all night, but my flashlight still won't turn on. I didn't buy those batteries very long ago. Are yours prone to getting damp?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaowan said, "Auntie, you must never put these dry cell batteries on a heated kang (heated brick bed), or they will explode. After wiping them with a dry cloth, just put them in a dry place to air out naturally. They will dry out and be usable in no time."

These old-fashioned dry cell batteries are mainly composed of zinc casing, carbon rods, and electrolytes. If a damp battery is placed in a high-temperature environment like a heated bed, the internal pressure may increase, posing a risk of explosion. Furthermore, high temperatures can accelerate the battery's chemical reactions, further damaging it.

"Is this enough?" The old lady would listen to advice.

"Then I'll go back and put it in a dry place."

The old lady started talking and walked out, naturally without buying any batteries.

Mu Xiaowan sighed and put it back.

Chu Shaoqing hesitated for a while before finally deciding to tell Mu Xiaowan.

"Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."
