90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 100 Let’s go shopping together

Picked a basket of fine fruits from the sack and sent Xiao Dazhuang away as a gift in return. Bai Lu quickly returned to the kitchen.

 Just walked to the door.

The figure of a tall and majestic man, with long and powerful arms, was carrying a vegetable basket at the end.

 Passing by, a gust of cool wind blew across his face. Bai Lu reacted and immediately followed.

"where are you going?"

Xiao Cheng walked out slowly: "Buy groceries."

"I am coming too."

They could also talk about things on the way to the vegetable market. Bai Lu followed decisively, not missing any opportunity.

However, as soon as he reached the courtyard gate, Xiao Cheng stopped and raised his eyes to look at Bai Lu.

He looked from her only slippers, revealing her shiny white little toes that were slightly reddened by the morning breeze, to her thin dark trousers and light camel-colored cotton-padded jacket. Finally, his eyes stopped at the collar of the sky-blue sweater around her neck.

 Said calmly: "Go back and put on your clothes and change your shoes."

　　Bai Lu looked down at the obvious clothes and obvious shoes: "I've already worn them."

Xiao Cheng remained silent with a cold face. He didn't give way or go out. He stood still and blocked the door of his house.

 Block away the wind outside.

Bai Lu thought about it for a moment, and he probably meant to add more clothes and change shoes, otherwise he would not be allowed to go out.

Immediately turned around and ran back to the room to put on some clothes and change shoes.

I was worried that the boss would be impatient with the waiting, so I hurriedly opened the closet and took out the thick coat when I saw it. I didn’t care about the length and size, and just put it on myself.

 Go to the door, take off your slippers and put on thick-soled cotton shoes, bend down and quickly hook up the heels of your shoes, and walk out.

As soon as Bai Lu walked out of the main room, she was dumbfounded.

 The courtyard door is closed.

 The entire courtyard was empty, not to mention any human figures, and even the scattered breeze was gone.

 How come the boss doesn’t keep his words!

She didn’t even come out yet, so she left on her own!

Bai Lu opened the door angrily, and a gust of cool wind rushed into her mouth and nose unexpectedly, and her mind suddenly cleared.

 It seems... Xiao Cheng never said he would wait for her.

He only asked her to go back and put on clothes and change shoes.

Bai Lu pursed her lips, turned around, closed the door, and strode towards the vegetable market.

Wet market

Someone was making trouble in front of Wen Xiuyun's fruit stall.

A tall, thick-set man with a stubble on his face threw a bamboo basket full of chestnuts in front of Wen Xiuyun's fruit stall, and kicked over an old cardboard box set up beside the stall. On top of the cardboard box was a large bamboo basket full of green and plump fruits. The big green dates were knocked to the ground and rolled in all directions.

"What kind of **** are you selling! Chestnuts are not like chestnuts, and char is not like char. They are mushy and hard, and the pulp is dry and woody. There are also black insect corpses inside. If you eat them, they will make people sick and have diarrhea. Please pay!"

 “Compensate me immediately!”

The bearded man cursed at Wen Xiuyun, kicked away the big green dates at his feet, stepped on the half-caramel and half-charred chestnuts on the ground, and crushed the chestnuts with a fierce look on his face.

“If you don’t pay compensation, your stall will be smashed! You dare to sell poisonous chestnuts with rotten flesh and harm people. If you don’t give me an explanation today and pay compensation, don’t even think about leaving!”

Now is the peak time for buying vegetables for lunch. People are coming and going at the entrance of the vegetable market, and there are more and more onlookers.

 The sugar-roasted chestnuts at Wu Aunt’s fruit stall are famous for their authentic taste on the street, and many people here have bought them.     If something really goes wrong and someone gets sick from eating bad food, they will definitely not come back again in the future.

Wen Xiuyun has been selling fruit for so many years. She has never seen anything like this before. The people in front of her look like they are looking for trouble.

She calmly picked up the big green dates on the ground and glanced at the chestnuts scattered around.

 Speaking without the slightest hint of guilt: "What evidence do you have that you buy all the chestnuts from me?"

Lao Li Tou, who sells sugar water next door, also helped to pick up the big green dates. As he picked up the dates, he said, "I see that your chestnuts are dark and burnt. They are not like the sugar-roasted chestnuts sold at Wu Aunt's stall. I'm afraid you didn't get them from someone else." You bought some chestnuts and got upset, so you came here to blackmail Aunt Wu’s fruit stall for compensation, right?”

The crowd of onlookers looked down at the chestnuts on the ground and looked up to compare with the chestnuts at Wu Aunt’s fruit stall.

The bearded man suddenly overturned the fruit stall, and the large flat bamboo basket on the outermost side dropped the roasted chestnuts all over the floor.

 It was mixed with the chestnuts he had brought before and dropped on the ground, and it was impossible to tell which ones belonged to whom.

After setting up the fruit stall, the stubble-bearded man spat at the roasted chestnuts on the ground, pointed at Wen Xiuyun and Lao Litou who had already stood up and stepped aside, and cursed.

 “I think you just want to cheat and not lose money!”

“My wife bought sugar-roasted chestnuts from you in the morning. After she got home, she had diarrhea and vomited until her face turned blue. She is still lying on the bed unable to get off the floor. You want to cheat and refuse to pay for the medical expenses? No way!

 “If you don’t lose money, don’t blame me for doing it myself!”

When the crowd of onlookers saw the stubble man's fierce and unreasonable attitude, they knew he was not a good person, so they quickly backed away for fear of being affected.

The stall owners next door who originally wanted to say a few words to Wen Xiuyun did not dare to say anything anymore when they saw this.

 They just run a small business to support their families. If they anger the bearded man and are attacked by him every day, they will have no way to survive.

Wen Xiuyun's husband is not here, and Lao Li has become an old man. The two of them can't fight against the bearded man.

Furthermore, this stubble-bearded man looks unfamiliar and does not look like a Newtown native. In all likelihood, he was brought in by others to cause trouble.

Hearing that the bearded man wanted to rob him forcefully, Wen Xiuyun subconsciously covered the money bag on her waist and backed away.

　　After the bearded man saw it, he laughed as if he had achieved his goal, and changed his words: "It's okay if you don't pay any money."

"I heard that you sell roasted chestnuts from others. If there is a problem with the chestnuts, you must go to the person who roasted the chestnuts. If you ask her to compensate me, I won't ask you for money. How about that? Is it a good deal?”

Wen Xiuyun said nothing.

The bearded man spat at the chestnuts on the ground again, "Don't be so ungrateful and shameless!"

“I heard that the sugar-fried chestnuts of yours are fried with white dew, and you fry the wormy chestnuts to eat the bad guys. You are really a vicious-hearted poisonous woman! Call her out immediately to pay and apologize, otherwise you will no longer want this stall!”

As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, someone grabbed him by the back of his collar and threw him to the ground.

The back of his head hit the ground hard, making him dizzy. His eyes were dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

 Following a heavy blow on his chest, a foot stepped on his neck, and his fainting brain recovered instantly.

The visibility of his eyes is no longer darkness, but a sinister, murderous face of a man.

The man was holding the vegetable basket with one hand and stepping on his neck. With dark eyes full of murderous intent, he looked down at him and said coldly: "Who should I ask to apologize and pay for it?"

Li Bingkun wanted to pry the man's feet off, but he couldn't do it and was even kicked away.

There was a snapping sound in the bones of his wrist. As soon as his cry of pain reached his throat, his feet fell down at the same time.

　　Step on his throat.

　No sound can be made.
