After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Xu Musen, who in their right mind would go to a market for a date!"

Inside the market.

The crowd here was bustling, especially around the meat stalls, where there was always some odd smell from the chickens and ducks.

This was definitely not a place young people would choose for a date.

Yao Mingyue had strong opinions about it.

Xu Musen just shrugged, "Didn't someone just say they wanted to go somewhere novel? You can even see pigs being slaughtered here—something that's not easy to come across outside."

"You... you bring a girl on a date to watch pigs being slaughtered?"

Yao Mingyue was speechless. Even taking a girl to some couple's hotel would have been more plausible than coming here to watch pigs get slaughtered!

"Taking a girl on a date would definitely not involve coming to the market, but aren't you my ex-wife? Isn't it pretty normal for a married couple to wander around the market?"

Xu Musen said with a smile.

Yao Mingyue didn't know whether to refute or not, feeling somewhat proud.

Yeah, going to the cinema, amusement parks, or eating out—that's what brand-new couples do.

But strolling through a market signifies that the relationship has gone beyond that of an ordinary couple.

"Hey, who's your ex-wife, we aren't even divorced, you know?"

Yao Mingyue quickly corrected his grammatical mistake after her moment of pride.

"That's expired too. It doesn't count if you don't see the marriage certificate."

"Xu Musen! You deadbeat..."

Yao Mingyue's volume got a little loud.

In the market, the majority of the shoppers were old men and women. At that moment, an elderly lady approached and quickly said, "It's normal for you young people to argue, but don't rush into talking about divorce, staying together is not easy."

Although Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue were young, they both had a mature air about them.

The old lady saw them as a young couple who had just gotten married.

Seeing the young girl looking pitiful and sitting in a wheelchair, she immediately felt a surge of sympathy and approached Xu Musen, "Young man, look how hard it is for your wife. She's in a wheelchair and still comes out to shop with you. You must cherish such a good girl."

"Uh, you've misunderstood..."

Xu Musen had just wanted to clarify the misunderstanding.

But Yao Mingyue reacted quickly, gently tugging at the old lady's clothes: "Grandma, it's okay, I'm sitting in confinement and can't touch the ground. I was just craving some meat, and my husband was afraid I'd eat too much... don't blame him. I won't eat meat. We have eggs at home; eating one egg every two days is also nutritious..."

Yao Mingyue spoke more and more pitifully, even wiping away nonexistent tears at the corner of her eyes.

Xu Musen: ...

He could already feel the stern looks of judgment from the surrounding old men and women.

No, your penchant for drama is a bit too much!

The surrounding elders were about to explode.

"What! One egg every two days during confinement? Is there a famine at home?"

"I don't understand how you young people live your lives, considering a divorce over eating meat? Your wife is so beautiful, don't you know how to cherish her?"

"Poor child, she's unfortunately met a worthless man, using the young people's words nowadays... what is it, did she run into a hoodlum?"

Xu Musen suddenly found himself the target of a thousand accusations, an absolute social death on the spot.

"Don't criticize my husband, he really loves me. I'm willing to endure hardship with him."

Yao Mingyue then wheeled herself in front of Xu Musen, her eyes reddened from rubbing them, "Husband, please don't divorce me, okay? I don't want anything, I just want you to call me 'wife,' okay?"

Her act moved the elders to tears, fueling their indignation, "Young man, you're so young, how could you not cherish your wife like this?"

"Exactly, look at such a good girl. With other girls nowadays, if you don't treat them right, they'll leave you. Look how caring your wife is towards you!"

"Hurry up and call her! Look how wronged she's made herself. If you can't afford meat, I'll cut you a pound to take home!"

Yao Mingyue's acting was simply divine; the elders were almost moved to tears.

Where else could you find such devotion?

Xu Musen looked down at Yao Mingyue, who was slightly proud at that moment, but also full of longing for that long-awaited address.

This girl, so cunning and yet endearingly silly.

Xu Musen couldn't help but smile inwardly, reached out to gently touch her head, "Wife, I know I was wrong. Today, your husband will buy you a whole pig to take home. Let's aim to fatten you up until you have a big head and plump face, okay?"

Yao Mingyue felt a bit annoyed by his words—what did he mean by big head and plump face!

But at that moment, under everyone's gaze, she felt as if she'd shot herself in the foot.

However, Xu Musen's term of 'wife' still made her heart melt.

"Eh, that's more like it!"

The old men and women had simple values; they were people who had truly experienced hunger.

If a wife could eat well and get plump, it was considered a blessing!

The old lady who had been mediating earlier sneakily slipped Yao Mingyue some change, seemingly having completely bought her story.

Yao Mingyue naturally couldn't accept it, pushing it back several times, and Xu Musen had to take out his wallet to convince them that they really did have money.
