Sheng Yuze was accompanying He Zhaoyang to the supply and marketing cooperative to choose fabrics. He wanted to choose ready-made clothes directly, but He Zhaoyang refused.

Just as He Zhaoyang took a fancy to a piece of green fabric and was about to touch it, someone called out Sheng Yuze's name.

"Yuze, it really is you!"

The newcomer was dressed in a well-fitting white suit, with a stylish center-parted, choppy hairstyle, followed by a woman in a white dress holding an umbrella.

The man called out Sheng Yuze's name, but his eyes were fixed on He Zhaoyang.

Sheng Yuze stood in front of He Zhaoyang, "It's you, Young Master Lu, and Miss Lu."

Lu Xingguo felt extremely satisfied when he heard Sheng Yuze call himself Young Master Lu. Everyone knew the status of the Sheng family in the compound, and back then they all looked down on Lu Xingguo's behavior.

See, even after going to the countryside, he still has to obediently call him Young Master Lu.

"You flatter me, Yuze. It's been so long since we last met. What a coincidence to see you here!"

Lu Xiao looked at Sheng Yuze happily from behind, "Brother Ze."

He Zhaoyang stared at the man in front of him in disbelief. No, He Xidi left, and now another woman has appeared. Is this man a reincarnation of a fox spirit?

Lu Xiao noticed his right leg and asked, "How did you get injured?"

Sheng Yuze: "I was accidentally hit by falling rocks while on a mission."

Lu Xingguo walked up and patted Sheng Yuze hard on the back, "Good lad, still so strong, you must have recovered very well."

Sheng Yuze dodged Lu Xingguo's continued slapping. He realized that Lu Xingguo was deliberately trying to kick him while he was down.

"I won't stand on ceremony with you. I still have some things to buy today."

After saying that, he was about to go pick out some fabric. Lu Xingguo usually liked all kinds of beautiful women. The first woman he saw was slender and curvaceous.

She had just greeted Sheng Yuze, which allowed him to see the woman's face clearly.

Clean, with a touch of glamour amidst its cool and serene appearance.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman.

Lu Xingguo walked over to Sheng Yuze, picked up a piece of cloth and touched it. "It's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me at all? By the way, who is this beautiful lady next to you?"

Without making a sound, Sheng Yuze said in front of Lu Xingguo, "My wife."

Lu Xiao looked He Zhaoyang up and down with an ambiguous expression.

His wife? Nothing special, just a country bumpkin with no family background.

He Zhaoyang had no interest in their nonsense and continued making his own selections.

"Oh~" Lu Xingguo drawled, "That's a real pity."

Sheng Yuze asked, "What's a pity?"

Lu Xingguo laughed, "It's a pity that if I had met this lady before you, you wouldn't have had this opportunity."

He said this with a smile, as if he were joking.

Sheng Yuze's face immediately darkened. Lu Xingguo teased, "What's wrong, Yuze? I was just praising your wife's beauty. You can't even take a joke like that?"

Lu Xiao lightly punched Lu Xingguo, "Brother, don't say that."

She turned to greet He Zhaoyang, extending her hand, "Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Yuze's sister."

Lu Xing emphasized the words "sister-in-law" and "younger sister".

He Zhaoyang did not shake hands with her, but only said "Hello".

Lu Xiao wasn't annoyed. He withdrew his hand and looked at He Zhaoyang's ill-fitting clothes. They were made of gray fabric, the collar was worn out, and the sleeves were too long.

What a country bumpkin.

Lu Xiao casually remarked, "Sister-in-law, this dress is a bit big."

Lu Xingguo walked over to He Zhaoyang and looked at her carefully. He Zhaoyang took a step back in disgust and glared at Lu Xingguo. Lu Xingguo was stunned by her beauty; even a beautiful woman's anger was so attractive.

Sheng Yuze picked up his cane and pushed Lu Xingguo away, saying, "Stay away from my wife."

Lu Xingguo grinned mischievously, "Alright, alright, it's just that your clothes are so old, sister-in-law. How about this, I'll apologize to you, sister-in-law, you can pick any fabric you want at this store, I'll pay."

He Zhaoyang laughed, "Young Master Lu is so generous. Are you serious? I can really choose whatever I want?"

Sheng Yuze wanted to refuse, but He Zhaoyang stopped him.

Lu Xingguo nodded. "That's natural."

He Zhaoyang feigned difficulty: "But I like quite a lot of different fabrics, is that really okay?"

Lu Xingguo: "Of course!"

Lu Xiao said sarcastically, "Of course, the Lu family keeps its word. My sister-in-law probably hasn't bought fabric in years, has she?"

He Zhaoyang nodded aggrievedly, and said tearfully, "Yes, I've been an orphan since I was little, and I've lived alone all my life. It's so wonderful to meet Young Master Lu and Miss Lu today."

Sheng Yuze was completely confused. Was his wife an orphan?

Lu Xiao felt extremely satisfied upon hearing this.

Lu Xingguo looked distressed, and even angrier when he saw Sheng Yuze, who had married such a beautiful wife but couldn't even afford to buy her clothes.

Lu Xingguo: "Just buy whatever you want today."

He Zhaoyang said slyly, "Then I won't be polite."

He Zhaoyang picked out the green fabric he had just taken a liking to, one piece of black, two pieces of navy blue, and three pieces of white.

They were all made of the finest fine cloth.

Lu Xingguo wanted to say so much, but he couldn't bear to when he met He Zhaoyang's expectant gaze.

He Zhaoyang told the salesperson the fabric he wanted, and the salesperson was stunned. He quickly took out a ruler to measure it and record it.

"Army green fine plain weave cloth, 0.50 yuan/foot, 55 yuan per roll. Black polyester twill, 2.2 yuan/foot, 242 yuan per roll. Navy blue fine plain weave cloth, 0.48 yuan/foot, 52.8 yuan per roll. White fine plain weave cloth, 0.40 yuan/foot, 44 yuan per roll."

After saying that, the salesperson gasped, took out a calculator, and said, "It's a total of 534.6 yuan, which requires 693 feet of cloth coupons. What do you think?"

He Zhaoyang looked at Lu Xingguo expectantly, while Lu Xingguo looked troubled.

Lu Xiao was also shocked. "How much?"

The salesperson repeated it.

He Zhaoyang feigned disappointment, "I've been an orphan since I was a child, and I've never gotten what I wanted. It's okay, Mr. and Miss Lu, I'm used to it."

Lu Xiao gritted her teeth and glared at He Zhaoyang. She could tell at a glance that He Zhaoyang was faking it.

Seeing He Zhaoyang like this, Lu Xingguo looked distressed again, "It's alright."

Lu Xingguo paid the money first, but then hesitated, "Money isn't the problem, but these cloth coupons..."

After receiving the money, the sales clerk said respectfully, "If you really don't have enough cloth coupons, you can go to the manager to get a permit, and we can reduce the amount accordingly."

Lu Xingguo nodded and handed over a portion of the money. "Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he took Lu Xiao to get the approval slip.

He Zhaoyang is jumping around happily.

Sheng Yuze lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I couldn't even buy you some cloth."

He Zhaoyang was very happy and didn't want to argue with him. "I don't need that much fabric. I just wanted to teach them a lesson. It'll be perfect for making new clothes for my mother, sister-in-law, and grandmother."

Sheng Yuze's eyes lit up. If she still cared about this family, would she not divorce him?
