80s: The Rough Villain's Beautiful Wife is Reborn

Chapter 48 She's Not Stupid, Just a Little Cute
North City Comprehensive Non-staple Food Wholesale Market.

Shang Xiaojun looked at the time, rode Hu Dong's bicycle and prepared to go back to get lunch.

When the car entered the alley, he happened to meet a middle-aged lady, who was his neighbor who lived diagonally opposite him.

Shang Xiaojun nodded lightly as a greeting as usual, but he never expected that the other party would actually smile at him.

"Xiaojun, you're back. Where did you go this morning? What have you been busy with recently? Oh, yes, I have some green onions here. You can take some back to your wife so you don't have to buy more."

As the other party spoke, he rummaged through the bag in front of the car and handed over a handful of green onions.

Shang Xiaojun was a little confused. Shouldn't this guy ride his bike away from him quickly? Why didn't he give him the onion?

What are you doing?
Shang Xiaojun looked at the middle-aged woman strangely, "No need, auntie."

But the aunt insisted on giving it to him, "It's just a little something, take it. My relatives from my mother's side brought a lot of it."

As the other party spoke, he put the onions directly into Shang Xiaojun's basket and ran away.

Shang Xiaojun: “…”

Looking at those onions, I fell into deep thought.

Because of the commotion at the alley entrance, Du Juan prepared her meal a little late.

When Shang Xiaojun walked in, Du Juan was cutting vegetables and Shang Rong was cooking.

"I'm back. Take a shower first. It will be fine in a while."

Du Juan put down the work in her hands and was about to get him a basin of water, when she saw Shang Xiaojun putting something on the small kitchen counter.

A handful of onions, two sweet potatoes, and a handful of peanuts.

"Where did these come from?"

Du Juan was a little curious. These things were too scattered and didn't seem like they were bought by him.

Shang Xiaojun looked up, his black eyes fixed on her.

Along the way he met four neighbors who greeted him proactively and already knew what had happened at noon.

Du Juan: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shang Xiaojun smiled, "Nothing. Just a little unexpected."

Du Juan also laughed, "What's the surprise?"

Why does this person always say half and hide the other?

Shang Xiaojun: "You take care of your business, I'll fetch some water myself."

As he said this, he went to get the basin.

Du Juan: "The hot water is on the small coal stove outside." She ignored him and started cutting vegetables.

Shang Xiaojun filled a basin of water and placed it on the laundry table in the yard. While washing his hands, he looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Sour and very filling.

So this is what it feels like to be protected by someone.

Yes, his surprise came from Du Juan’s protection of him.

Du Yaoyin came to cause trouble, and she fought back. This was normal, and he knew she would do this.

After spending almost a week together, Shang Xiaojun already knew that the person in front of him was neither stupid nor foolish, she was just...

Just kind of cute.

But what he didn't expect was that Du Juan would take this opportunity to protect his reputation and correct everyone's view of him.

Shang Xiaojun was well aware that he had a bad reputation and that people around him were avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.

In the past, he didn't care. It didn't matter. Those people had nothing to do with him anyway.

But just now, those people took the initiative to greet him, talk to him, and stuff things into his hands.

Shang Xiaojun felt that this feeling was not bad.

After lunch, Du Juan packed two meals and went to the market with Shang Xiaojun.

Although Shang Xiaojun didn't let her do the heavy work, it was still possible for her to clean the place.

Several people were busy for the whole morning, and the stove and partition walls had been built. They would put some finishing touches in the afternoon and the basic work would be done. After drying for a few days, they could start cooking.

In the afternoon, the bricklayer finished his work, paid his bill and left.

Seeing that there was not much work left, Du Juan asked Hu Dong to go and have a rest while she took care of it.

Hu Dong was still a teenager. After being urged by Du Juan several times, he put down his broom and went to the video room outside the market to watch DVDs.

When Shang Xiaojun came back pushing a pink bicycle, he saw Du Juan cleaning the store alone.

He frowned and asked, "Where's Hu Dong?"

Du Juan: "There's not much to do anyway, I'll let him go and play."

Hu Dong didn't want any wages, he was just helping, Du Juan felt embarrassed and didn't want to order him around. Shang Xiaojun was dissatisfied, because he had clearly told him not to leave his sister-in-law alone.

This kid probably went to the video room again.

Shang Xiaojun ignored Hu Dong for the time being and pushed the car into the door for Du Juan to see.

"Try it yourself. If there's anything inappropriate, I'll find someone else to adjust it."

Du Juan was frightened when she saw the bicycle in his hand.

The pink car is obviously different in style from those on the street and it is obviously a women's car.

"new?"

Shang Xiaojun nodded.

Du Juan didn't know what to say.

"Didn't I say just buy a second-hand one? How much does this cost?"

Not only is it new, but this color is also very rare.

Nowadays, bicycles on the streets are either gray or black. It’s a big deal if they can be blue or red, and this one is pink.

It looks so good, how much does it cost?

Oh my God, how could she use such a good thing?

Shang Xiaojun saw Du Juan frowning and asked her, "Don't you like it?"

Du Juan quickly shook her head, "I like it. Just, how much is it?"

Why does he talk about money every other sentence?

Shang Xiaojun raised his lips and said, "It's for you."

Du Juan originally wanted to touch it, but was shocked when she heard this.

She asked again seriously: "How much?"

Shang Xiaojun: “…”

"I told you I'd give it to you, why are you taking so long?"

Du Juan: “…”

After walking around the car, she asked tentatively, "This must be more than two hundred, right?"

An ordinary bicycle costs 180 yuan, so this one is not too expensive at 50 yuan.

More than two hundred...

Shang Xiaojun thought that if he could sell it at this price, he would take as many as he could, and he could easily make a hundred or two hundred yuan by reselling it.

"I said I'll give it to you."

This person is too honest. He asks even if it is given for free.

Du Juan pursed her lips, "Why would you give me such a big thing for no reason?"

Shang Xiaojun: “…”

A betrothal gift is fine, right?

But I can't say this.

Shang Xiaojun clicked his tongue, feeling extremely annoyed.

"Just tell me whether you want it or not. If you don't want it, I'll return it. I've never seen such a stupid person. He doesn't even want the car I gave him. Do you know how rare this car is? It's a Hong Kong car that a friend of mine brought back from South City. There is only one in the whole county.

I bought this with great difficulty. And you, with such kindness, treated it as fish liver and lungs, and actually didn’t appreciate my kindness.”

Seeing that Shang Xiaojun was really angry and was about to push the cart outside, Du Juan quickly stopped him.

"I didn't mean that. I'm just afraid you'd spend money."

Shang Xiaojun: "I'd love to."

Du Juan: “…”

Forget it. When her shop makes money in the future, I’ll add some to the family account. I’m in charge of the accounts now anyway.

but……

"Where did you get the money to buy the bicycle?"

Ever since Shang Xiaojun asked him to be the housekeeper, he hasn't touched a penny of the money she had with him.

In the past, he would just spend some money outside, and Du Juan thought he was saving some for pocket money.

But this time, for a big item like a bicycle, she thought she had to ask so she could have a clear idea.
