Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating

Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Time is Money

Liu Haiyun was shocked, “Sis-in-law, that girl must be crazy.”

Zhou Huiru’s face flushed with embarrassment; she hadn’t expected to be humiliated in public by this girl, her face stretched long, her eyes bulging scarily.

Those who were originally queuing behind them were not in a hurry, but upon hearing this, they suddenly became anxious. Right, they still had to hurry to work after eating.

Time is money, delaying their work meant hindering their contributions to national development, such a big issue, could these two people bear the responsibility?

“What are you two doing, dilly-dallying like this? If you’re not eating then just scram,” people started to clamor from behind.

Zhou Huiru, face still cold, hurried her steps, quickly grabbing the steamed buns and peppery soup before scampering away in disarray.

Sun Lifang watched this unfold and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Liu Haiyun happened to see this and turned red with anger, “That girl did it on purpose, absolutely heartless.”

Zhou Huiru’s face was cold, when had she ever suffered such an indignity?

The Xu family was specifically her nemesis; even the steamed buns didn’t taste good anymore.

“Did Xu Ying make these buns? How did she learn to do this?” Liu Haiyun said, unconvinced.

“Who knows!”

“Daughter, I’m done with my business and I’m preparing to go back,” Mrs. Xu stuffed the money into her clothes, hiding it well.

She stepped into the restaurant and informed her daughter that she was heading back, so her daughter wouldn’t worry about her sudden disappearance.

“Okay, Mom, are you hungry? I’ll get you some steamed buns for the road,” Xu Ying handed over a few large steamed buns to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu grinned from ear to ear, “That’s enough, don’t take too many, it’s a waste of money.”

She was laughing happily when she turned around to see Zhou Huiru and Liu Haiyun, their faces a picture of embarrassed astonishment.

Mrs. Xu instantly sensed something was amiss; these two women must have been speaking ill of her family; otherwise, why would they look so deflated upon being seen by her?

“Daughter, what are these two doing here?”

“Auntie, these two, from the moment they walked in, they’ve been no good, telling me that Yingying’s cooking skills are lacking, stirring up trouble,” said Sun Lifang, ordering her meal.

Mrs. Xu became angry upon hearing this and marched over to Liu Haiyun and company, “We’re eating, whether it’s good or not, my daughter made these.

Now, people come to this restaurant specifically for my daughter’s cooking skills. Chef Ge also cooks delicious food, but my daughter is more innovative, always coming up with new recipes.

Look at those buns, ones with fish filling, meat filling, spicy tofu… they’re all my daughter’s creations.

I might not be capable of much in this lifetime, but I did raise kids, each one smarter than the last,” Mrs. Xu sat there, puffing with pride like an old Buddha.

“Not like some people who can’t even have children,” said Mrs. Xu, and without turning back, she walked away.

Zhou Huiru trembled with rage, “Who is she talking about? Who can’t have children? I simply don’t want to.”

Mrs. Xu, with ears sharp, called out from afar, “If you don’t want to, why go to the hospital for medical treatment?”

This was something her daughter had gleaned some days ago when she had fallen into the river. She and her husband had brought their daughter to the hospital for treatment and had inadvertently seen Zhou Huiru and her husband at the hospital for infertility treatment.

Liu Haiyun was flabbergasted with a face full of surprise, looking at Zhou Huiru, “Sis-in-law, you can’t have children?”

“It’s you who can’t have children! I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said there’s nothing wrong, just need to relax and nourish my body and I’ll be able to have them,” Zhou Huiru retorted furiously, embarrassed that someone had found out about her hospital visit.

To make matters worse, it was her arch-enemy who had seen her, who knows how the old woman might laugh at her.

Liu Haiyun chuckled, “Well, that’s good then; I was just worried about my sis-in-law.”

After all, if a woman can’t bear children, then she’s useless.

Zhou Huiru suddenly lost all appetite for food, “Hai Yun, my head hurts a bit, let’s go back first.”

Liu Haiyun was somewhat displeased inside, she had spent money on the bus fare and hadn’t strolled around yet, but now they were going back.

“Sister-in-law, why don’t you head back first, I want to browse the Department Store.”

“Alright, I will go back first.” Zhou Huiru picked up her bag and left, she had to rush back to see what was going on, lest the team leader’s wife spread rumors everywhere.

What a stroke of bad luck today.

Liu Haiyun nodded and, after leaving the restaurant with her, they parted ways.

Who knew that just around the corner she would stumble upon some big news.

Chen Yanran was standing in a corner, with two men beside her.

“What are you guys trying to do?” Chen Yanran asked impatiently.

Dong Wenqiang, with a sneer, reached out to touch Chen Yanran’s cheek but was slapped away decisively by her, her face filled with rage, “What exactly do you want?”

Dong Wenjie gave a malicious chuckle, “The little lady has quite the temper. Chen Yanran, stop acting so pure; you’ve already been with me. You can’t possibly want to be our sister-in-law. That’s fine, but you’ll have to listen to us obediently.”

From the initial fear to realizing that Chen Yanran hadn’t dared to report them to the police, the Dong Wenqiang brothers became increasingly arrogant.

Especially since Chen Yanran, with her delicate skin and tender flesh, seemed to be living a good life since moving to the country; such a person must surely have money to spare.

Dong Wenqiang said bluntly, “Chen Yanran, my brother and I have no money left, give us ten yuan, and we promise not to bother you again.”

“You’re crazy, I don’t have ten yuan,” said Chen Yanran before turning to run.

Dong Wenjie grabbed her with one hand and pulled her back.

“You better cut the crap, we’ve checked; you’re living a good life in Xujia Village with my cousin. If you’re penniless, how come you eat eggs every day?”

“That’s given by your cousin. I don’t have a penny, Dong Wenjie, don’t push it, or I’ll accuse you of rape. We can all go down together,” Chen Yanran’s eyes were filled with ferocity.

“Rape!” Liu Haiyun exclaimed, quickly covering her mouth, looking at Chen Yanran her eyes suddenly filled with sympathy.

The Dong Wenqiang brothers, feeling scrutinized by her, actually became somewhat intimidated, Dong Wenqiang tugged at his brother’s arm, “Maybe we should ask for less.”

“Then five yuan!”

“I don’t have five yuan either, but if you really need money, I can tell you a way,” Chen Yanran said, lowering her head with some difficulty.

As Chen Yanran appeared more troubled, the curiosity of the Dong Wenqiang brothers grew, “What way?”

“You’ve seen Xu Ying before, haven’t you? She’s pretty and works at a restaurant in the county. Her family’s situation is good. Dong Wenzhong used to live off Xu Ying. If any of you have the skill to woo Xu Ying, then good days aren’t far away,” Chen Yanran said with her head down.

“That’s right, Chen Zhiqing speaks the truth, Xu Ying’s parents really dote on her. They give her pocket money every month, her brothers also buy her clothes and food, she’s quite rich,” Liu Haiyun jumped in.

The Dong Wenqiang brothers were startled by her sudden appearance.

Chen Yanran’s gaze tightened when she saw her; when had she come, what had she heard.

“Is that true?” Dong Wenqiang asked curiously.

“Whether it’s true or not, you’ll know once you investigate. Believe it or not, why would I bother lying to you!” Liu Haiyun said brusquely.

She looked at Chen Yanran with eyes full of sympathy, the ever-kind-hearted Liu Haiyun taking her by the arm, “Yanran, I’m going to the supply and marketing cooperative. Do you want to come?”

Chen Yanran hurriedly nodded her head, “I’ll go.”

Once out of the alleyway, Liu Haiyun’s face was full of sympathy, “Yanran, those two have wronged you.”@@novelbin@@
