Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 48 A Great Bargain

Upon hearing the voice, Liu Wanqiu, who had been staring at the stall, finally snapped out of her daze.

Looking at the short-haired stranger in front of him, he wanted to respond, but no matter what he said, he couldn't get the words out.

When she was with her father and brother, she could express her thoughts without any reservations.

But when she talks to strangers, she becomes quiet and reserved.

He started picking at his fingers again.

Somewhat timid, Liu Wanqiu silently turned to look back at the path she had come from.

Seeing her father and brother approaching, she felt a sense of relief and ran over.

She grabbed her father's hand and half-dragged, half-carried him to the stall.

"Daddy, these are so pretty!"

"It's quite beautiful."

Responding to his daughter, Liu Changcun also looked at the ornaments on the table.

Each bracelet looks great.

Although he doesn't know much about jewelry, from an ordinary person's perspective, the bracelet on the table is definitely beautiful.

The style just looks a little familiar.

It seems somewhat similar to the one my senior gave me.

Liu Changcun looked away from the stall and looked up at the stall owner.

How much does it cost?

"Uncle Liu...?"

The stall owner was a very young girl.

She has very short hair for a girl, an oval face, and slightly masculine features.

A relatively fitted light-colored short-sleeved shirt, with shorts that reveal two-thirds of the legs.

Wearing a pair of sneakers, he sat on a small stool.

Liu Changcun was called "uncle" right away, and he didn't react for a moment.

After carefully examining the other person, his puzzled expression disappeared, and he spoke with a smile.

"Oh, it's you. Setting up a stall on the weekend too?"

Liu Changcun, the father, recognized the other person.

She is the girl who had a conflict with her son at school last time.

Hearing the man respond to her, Shen Ruzhi, who had been somewhat uncertain, finally dared to confirm it.

His gaze lingered on the father and daughter in front of him until he heard them breathing heavily, then he turned his gaze aside.

When Shen Ruzhi from Class 4 of Grade 8 saw Liu Songyan, she froze in shock.

Looking at the other person's signature hairstyle, and... the pair of dumbbells they were carrying that looked really heavy.

For some reason, seeing this picture instantly reminded Shen Ruzhi of a scene that happened at school.

She mistakenly believed that Liu Songyan was bullying a classmate, and without distinguishing right from wrong, she kicked him.

However, her all-out attack was easily caught by her opponent with one hand.

Shen Ruzhi tried to pull herself up, but felt as if her raised leg was tied to a pillar.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from the restraints.

My gaze... lingered on those dumbbells.

He even exercises while shopping; could this be the secret to his strength?

"She's your classmate, right?"

Liu Changcun's voice came again, addressed to his son who was still panting.

Liu Songyan, who had been strolling around carrying dumbbells, finally turned his gaze to the back of the stall after hearing his father's question.

Looking through the hair, I saw that familiar face.

He looked away and simply nodded.

He was very tired from carrying the dumbbells.

I don’t want to talk anymore.

Seeing this, Liu Changcun, the father, felt somewhat helpless.

"Silly boy, you don't even greet your classmate when you see him. Put the dumbbells down first."

"Ah."

As relieved.

I put down the dumbbells as my father had instructed.

Liu Songyan suddenly felt as light as a swallow, flicked his wrist, and turned to look at Shen Ruzhi at the stall.

Looking down at him from his elevated position, he spoke in a cold tone.

"We meet again, Mr. Shen."

With a "smack!", Liu Songyan received a slap on the back.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Changcun's serious voice reached his ears.

"Greet them properly, don't sound like you're trying to cause trouble."

"..."

"understood."

Liu Songyan raised his hand to rub his back, then moved his feet and straightened his posture.

He was facing Shen Ruzhi, who was in the same seat.

"Hello, class monitor."

"Hello..."

Shen Ruzhi stammered in response.

She was somewhat confused after witnessing the whole thing.

After all, she had heard of Liu Songyan's reputation at school. As a legendary figure on campus who was known as someone you should never look him in the eye, he was a surprisingly well-behaved child in front of his father.

It's a bit of a contrast... no, it's a huge contrast!
Liu Songyan awkwardly turned his face away at Shen Ruzhi's gaze.

He had no objection to his father's upbringing.

It's true that his initial tone was problematic. It's just that Shen Ruzhi witnessed him being scolded...

I'm having a bit of bad luck.

"Did you do all this?"

Getting back to the main point, Liu Changcun picked up a bracelet and examined it closely.

It feels very light when you hold it, and you can tell that the chain of the bracelet is not made of expensive materials.

It's inlaid with fake diamonds, and at first glance, it looks quite convincing.

"No, my mother made all of these."

"You're so skillful! How much is this string of pearls?"

"Fifteen yuan..."

Shen Ruzhi answered in a very soft voice.

You could tell she lacked confidence after stating the price.

Of course, she wasn't always this insecure.

Customers who inquired about the price at the stall mostly shook their heads and left after hearing the price of fifteen yuan.

After suffering many setbacks, Shen Ruzhi's confidence gradually disappeared.

The price was set by my mother. After all, it's all handmade, and we didn't make much money after deducting costs.

She thought the bracelet her mother made was very beautiful, and that it would be perfectly fine to price it at 100 yuan.

However, as the seller, her opinion didn't matter.

Customer feedback... is what really matters.

Liu Changcun frowned and continued to examine the bracelet in front of him.

Seeing the man frown, Shen Ruzhi lowered her gaze again.

"At such a low price, will it even break even?"

"what?"

"Just the design of this bracelet alone would cost at least a thousand yuan in a jewelry store."

The little girl next to the man nodded vigorously.

Liu Wanqiu seemed to agree most with her father's statement.

"Pick one, Dad will pay for it."

"really?"

Liu Wanqiu's eyes widened.

Happiness came too suddenly. Only after seeing her father nod did she excitedly step forward.

Carefully selecting bracelets from the table.

They come in various shapes, but each one is beautiful.

The young Liu Wanqiu was overwhelmed by the choices; if she could, she would want them all.

Unfortunately, it’s not available for purchase.

"Hmm...it's so hard to choose..."

"Don't rush, take your time choosing."

He responded with a smile, showing no sign of urging him to hurry.

The main purpose of taking the children out for a walk was to relax and take care of their feelings.

Liu Wanqiu was struggling with her choice, and Liu Changcun accompanied her with a smile.

Liu Songyan remained silent, deliberately turning his face away to avoid meeting the gaze of the girl behind the stall.

The surrounding area was bustling with activity, and the noise never stopped.

"Zhizhi, Mommy got a great deal!"

From afar, cheerful voices reached the man's ears.

Liu Changcun, who was waiting for his daughter to choose, looked in the direction of the sound.

I watched the figure jogging towards me from the side of the road behind me.

Look at those two figures, swaying rhythmically as they jog.

"..."

Liu Changcun suddenly froze.

Looking at the woman who had returned to her stall, she was carrying several women's short-sleeved shirts.

She approached her daughter with a beaming smile.

"Wow, that's cheap! Three items only cost less than forty!"

Wen Yunwei was very happy.

I never expected the clothes in the square to be so cheap.

Blinded by the cheap clothes, she didn't notice the three people standing in front of the stall.

Instead, she pulled her daughter up from the stool, picked out a short-sleeved shirt, and held it up in front of the child.

"It looks just right!"

"mom……"

"Try this one too."

"Mom, we have a guest!"

Interrupting her mother's attempt to try another item, Shen Ruzhi raised her voice considerably.

It wasn't until she heard her daughter's words that Wen Yunwei, who was still rejoicing over the cheap clothes, noticed that there were customers visiting her stall.

He hurriedly put away the clothes in his hands, just about to turn around and greet them.

But when her gaze fell on the man in front of her, the words she was about to say were swallowed back down.

Wen Yunwei held up her clothes and looked at the three people in front of her.

Their gaze fell on the tallest man.

Looking at his face.
