A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Qiao Lanshu could only stall him for the time being today, preventing him from going out with Zheng Daliu. He had to go to work tomorrow, so Qiao Lanshu planned to meet with his cousin-in-law Deng Xiaozhen after get off work tomorrow afternoon and ask her to keep an eye on Deng Weijun.

Qiao Lanshu took a wicker basket and came out of the house, preparing to go to the mobile market with Wang Xue to buy fried dough twists.

Wang Xue had been craving those twisted dough sticks for a whole day and night. She thought they were too expensive and couldn't bear to buy too many, but in the end, her family ate them all in less than a day.

She has two sons, both in elementary school, who are still growing and have big appetites. They usually drink coarse grain porridge and eat potatoes, which are not oily, and they are hungry every day.

Wang Xue sighed and said, "Raising children is really not easy; finding something to eat is so difficult."

Qiao Lanshu smiled upon hearing this, but remained silent.

Anyway, she doesn't have this worry, and she won't have children in the future, so she can't get a word in edgewise when it comes to topics about children.

The two women arrived at the same place they had visited before, and sure enough, the woman was still carrying a basket covered with a black cloth, looking around for people to buy fried dough twists.

Wang Xue muttered, "Where did this person get so much flour to fry dough twists? What kind of family does this person belong to?"

Qiao Lanshu was also curious, which is why she came along to buy the twisted dough sticks again.

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Wang Xue and Qiao Lanshu. She immediately approached them and said, "Comrades, are you here to see me?"

As she spoke, she lifted the black cloth covering the basket again.

When Wang Xue looked at the basket, she saw that there weren't many twisted dough sticks left. She frowned and said, "Oh dear, you're almost out. I wanted to buy two pounds today."

She had prepared a dollar, even though 50 cents a pound was expensive, but she didn't have any coupons and might not be able to buy it normally, so she gritted her teeth and came to spend some money.

Qiao Lanshu also came over to take a look, and sure enough, the basket of twisted dough sticks was almost empty, probably only a little over a pound in total.

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "I was thinking of buying five jin today, do you still have any? Maybe..."

She paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Shall we go home with you to get it?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself, "Five jin is two yuan and fifty cents, seven jin is three yuan and fifty cents, that's a lot of money."

These two women had already bought from her before, so there's definitely no problem.

So the woman hesitated for only a few seconds before nodding immediately. She said, "Of course, no problem, girls. Come with me, I have some more at home."

As she spoke, she led Wang Xue and Qiao Lanshu deeper into the alley.

After walking to the end, they came out of the alley and then into a row of bungalows.

The woman stopped at a doorway, knocked, and said, "Lin Lao Er, open the door quickly, I'm back."

A short while later, the door to the bungalow opened, and a thin, middle-aged man peeked out and asked, "Why are you back so early today?"

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Wang Xue and Qiao Lanshu, his face immediately darkening. He said, "Why did you bring them here?"

As he was saying this, he quickly turned to close the door, but Qiao Lanshu suddenly walked over and said, "Brother, I'm here to buy fried dough twists. I need five jin."

As she spoke, she glanced into the house, which was a courtyard with several large boxes inside.

She recognized the box; it was the same box they used to pack fried dough twists at their food factory.

Qiao Lanshu only glanced at it before Lin Lao Er slammed the door shut, saying, "Wait outside!"

The woman went in too, and told the two of them to wait while she weighed the fried dough twists.

Qiao Lanshu lowered her voice and said to Wang Xue, "Sister, did you see that just now?"

Wang Xue didn't react at all. She asked in confusion, "Huh?"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu hesitated for two seconds, thinking that if things were really as she thought, then the problem was quite serious.

She shook her head and said, "That person was just too fierce."

Wang Xue said in a low voice, "Oh dear, it's normal for speculators like them to be very cautious and not want anyone to come knocking on their door."

The two women waited at the door for a while. The woman wrapped the twisted dough sticks in newspaper and placed them in Qiao Lanshu's and Wang Xue's baskets respectively, saying to them, "5 jin, 2 jin, it's weighed. Don't worry, it's absolutely accurate!"

Qiao Lanshu silently memorized the address, then paid the money with Wang Xue. The two of them, carrying the fried dough twists, turned back into that alley and returned from there.

After leaving the alley, Wang Xue and Qiao Lanshu parted ways and went home.

Qiao Lanshu was carrying a basket containing five jin of fried dough twists, which was quite heavy, so she switched to another hand to carry it.

Then, the basket in her hand was snatched away.

Qiao Lanshu was startled and turned to look. Then, she saw Guan Wenjun standing there with slicked-back hair, sunglasses, and a cold expression. He said, "Gotcha, little girl. You've been hiding pretty well these past few days, haven't you?"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu stared longingly at the vegetable basket that had been snatched away, and said with some confusion, "Director Guan, I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Why are you arresting me?"

Guan Wenjun was so flattered by her at the orphanage that he became so carried away that he sponsored five special needs children.

Later, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He pointed at Qiao Lanshu and said to her, "You're so scheming! You look like a good girl on the surface, but you're actually a black-hearted bastard."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

He's heartless, but Qiao Lanshu didn't even call him a lunatic.

She reached out and said, "Give me back my basket, Director Guan. Are you trying to rob me in the street?"

Guan Wenjun sneered. "Robbery? This is stolen goods! Tell me, aren't you engaging in speculation and profiteering?"

Qiao Lanshu didn't sell anything; she just spent money to buy things. Normally, people who buy things aren't investigated.

She felt that Guan Wenjun was deliberately making trouble for her.

She simply asked, "Director Guan, do you dislike me?"

Guan Wenjun was taken aback. He lowered his head and looked at Qiao Lanshu's fair face, dark eyes, and nose that was red from the cold wind.

He coughed guiltily and said, "I don't find it pleasing to the eye... not really."

But he finds it pleasing to the eye, so he can't admit it, right?

Otherwise, it would make him look like he's eagerly being trained like a dog, which would be embarrassing.

He said, "I only like you because I don't like Qin Yuanzheng! Of course, if you could divorce Qin Yuanzheng, then I would definitely like you..."

Then, he added seriously, "To be honest with you, Qin Yuanzheng is not a good person. He has dated a lot of girls before, and he even stole my fiancée. He probably didn't tell you about this, right? He also has infertility and can't have children. I'm different; I'm in great health."

He didn't say exactly where it was good.

The Guan Wenjun that Qiao Lanshu knew in her previous life was already lame and had fled to the south to do business.

He wasn't that cocky, nor was he that infuriating.

In his previous life, when Qin Yuanzheng was seriously ill, he wanted to introduce her to Guan Wenjun, and Guan Wenjun did indeed rush back.

But she was so sad at the time, immersed in the grief of Qin Yuanzheng leaving her, that she didn't pay any attention to Guan Wenjun.

Could it be that Guan Wenjun really has feelings for her?

Thinking of this, Qiao Lanshu looked at Guan Wenjun suspiciously a few times.

Guan Wenjun was very vain. Under her gaze, he immediately stood up straight and even stretched out his arm with the watch on it to smooth his hair.

Qiao Lanshu looked at him and suddenly said, "Director Guan, your zipper is loose."

Guan Wenjun: "???"

Startled, Guan Wenjun quickly put the shopping basket down, reached for his belt, and said in a panic, "Really? No way?"

When he hurriedly checked his pants, he found that they were on properly and his belt was fastened correctly.

He then looked up, but Qiao Lanshu was nowhere to be seen.

Qiao Lanshu had already picked up her basket and run a long way in the cold wind.

Guan Wenjun: "..."

Guan Wenjun was so angry he laughed. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Short legs, but he runs pretty fast."

Damn, Qin Yuanzheng must have had incredibly lucky ancestors!
