Pastoral Daily Life

With Yan Yue coming for dinner, Wang Shuxiu was very apprehensive about it. Although she warned Lu Lingxi to be careful about being sold and helping to count the money, how could a mother really want her son to meet bad people? Since Yan Yue was Lu Lingxis partner, Wang Shuxiu wanted to leave a good impression on Yan Yue, so that he could take care of Lu Lingxi.

After a good nights sleep, Wang Shuxiu first called her colleague Lin Mei to discuss the shift change. Lin Mei and Wang Shuxiu had known each other for almost ten years and they had always had a good relationship. When Lin Mei heard that Wang Shuxiu wanted to change shifts, she agreed at once. After chatting casually for a few minutes, the topic of conversation turned to Wang Shuxiu changing jobs.

Lin Mei was a few years younger than Wang Shuxiu, and although she didnt look as young as Wang Shuxiu, she was not far behind. She had just resigned from her job at the KTV last week; in her words, she was getting too old to stay up all night. Lin Mei knew everything about Wang Shuxius situation. Before, she had been dragged down by the old bastard Lu Yishui and had to work hard to support the family. Now that Wang Shuxiu and Lu Yishui had divorced, and Lu Lingxi was also sensible, Lin Mei advised Wang Shuxiu not to work so hard. The money earned at the expense of her health would just take her to a cheap hospital. Besides, she and Lu Lingxi could only see each other early in the morning and late at night, and Lu Lingxi had just been discharged from the hospital. Didnt she want to see her son more, ah?

The topic had been raised several times by Lin Mei, and Wang Shuxiu was moved by her words. But what would she do if she quit her job? She was old and uneducated, what could she do?

When Wang Shuxiu said this, Lin Mei laughed and said, “Whats the worry? If you really quit your job, you can go and set up a stall to sell your tomatoes, and youll surely be popular.”

Lin Mei had eaten the tomatoes that Wang Shuxiu brought her several times and couldnt get the taste out of her mind. The last time Wang Shuxiu brought her a bottle of tomato sauce, her whole family was shocked. Lin Meis youngest son even shouted that he wanted to live in Auntie Wangs house and eat tomato sauce every day, which Lin Mei told Wang Shuxiu as a joke.

When Lin Mei said this, Wang Shuxiu subconsciously looked at the backyard. She didnt know how the little bastard had grown the tomatoes, but they were growing one crop after another, and at a glance, the fruits were hanging heavily. They were more than enough to eat, but if they really wanted to sell them, it would not have been enough.

Thinking about this, Wang Shuxiu smiled to herself. She had really been led around by Lin Mei and was actually thinking of selling tomatoes.

After a few more words with Lin Mei, Wang Shuxiu saw that it was getting late, so she hurriedly changed into her usual clothes and went to the market with her trolley. After buying a chicken, some ribs and a bunch of vegetables, Wang Shuxiu was debating whether to buy some fresh shrimps at the seafood stall when she heard a muffled grunt behind her. When she turned around, Brother Feng was standing behind her, twisting the arm of a short man, and the purse she had in her pocket was in the short mans hand.

Because of Lu Yishuis gambling, Wang Shuxiu and Brother Feng were familiar with each other. After the initial daze, Wang Shuxiu quickly reacted to what had happened. After nodding hastily towards Brother Feng, Wang Shuxiu snatched back her purse and smashed it down on the short mans head.

Brother Feng: “……”

“Look at you, you have the hands and feet to work! You can pick junk every day and make a living. But if you come to steal, you should ask around who Wang Shuxiu is before stealing from her!”
