Chapter 275: Chapter 275 Almost believed it

"Why has Wang Mengmeng suddenly become so diligent and enthusiastic?"

Wang Mengmeng led Du Zhong away, and Xiaoli found it very unusual.

Wang Mengmeng was usually so lazy, why would she suddenly take the initiative to guide someone around?

"Who knows what she is up to, anyway, it’s like a weasel paying a visit to a hen."

Along the way, Wang Mengmeng kept making small talk, asking various questions about Du Zhong’s personal life.

When she heard that he was in charge of a department in the Medicine Factory, her eyes lit up.

She eagerly talked about her own situation, highlighting that her personal problems were not yet resolved, that she was single.

What kind of people hadn’t Du Zhong met before?

As soon as Wang Mengmeng opened her mouth, he knew that this woman viewed him as her hunting target. He’d seen too many women like her.

He didn’t expose her, but bantered with Wang Mengmeng, which amused her greatly.

"Chen Hansui must take good care of you at your workplace, right?" Du Zhong asked.

"Her? She’s alright." Hearing Du Zhong talking about Suizi, Wang Mengmeng’s heart cooled, but she quickly cheered up and responded with malicious intent.

"Our Director is undeniably proficient at work, always being praised by superiors, but in private, well, I can’t talk behind the leader’s back."

"It’s okay, I won’t spread it."

"Then let me tell you, Director has a disagreement with her boyfriend. She looks down on him because he comes from the countryside. He runs a stall, which she thinks is embarrassing. She vents her anger on us all the time. Poor me, because I perform well everyday, Director is jealous of me and always causes trouble for me."

Wang Mengmeng’s objective is simple, she wants to ruin Suizi’s reputation.

Du Zhong said that he was a friend of Suizi and her husband, and she readily understood that Du Zhong and Yu Jingting were buddies.

Telling Du Zhong that Suizi looks down on Yu Jingting, and then letting Du Zhong tell Yu Jingting, will that end well?

Du Zhong frowned.

"She....looks down on traders?"

Could it be?

When he was in the village, Du Zhong remembers Suizi helping Yu Jingting collect medicinal herbs and do the accounting; she didn’t seem unwilling at all.

"Yes, she only took advantage of having studied for a few years, and considered herself a noble intellectual, looking down on these peddlers."

At this moment, Suizi was actively and happily doing what Wang Mengmeng called "peddling".

Her book stall had become famous in the Morning Market, restocking twice a week.

Yu Jingting suggested that as there was no one managing this area at night, they should come and set up a stall a couple of nights a week.

Suizi insisted on coming along, wanting to experience the thrill of selling.

There were many people around the book stall. Yu Jingting collected money while Suizi recommended books to customers.

"How Steel Was Tempered is really a good read."

"Ugh — Jingting, don’t you have those kinds of, you know, books?" A man standing in front of the stall rubbed his hands, hinting wildly at Jingting.

Everyone understood the style of Jingting’s Morning Market, they all came here with expectation.

However, a bunch of positively inspiring classics?

A sudden change in style of the book stall, the young men were not adapating to it well.

Jingting put on a solemn face.

"Why do you keep saying this and that? ’Good good study day day up,’ your words can’t even be coherent, a Xinhua Dictionary suits you most."

With his wife around, he’s a model of righteousness and a good trader. Those messy things were all secretly kept in a box at the bottom and were not displayed.

"Jingting! I’ve finished reading ’The Mandarins and Butterfly Looking Lady’, you said you have a recycling deal, I want to buy another copy of ’The Eunuch Case Caused by Extramarital Affair’."

A young man excitedly came over, holding a magazine that would make people have dirty thoughts just by looking at its cover.

Suizi squinted her eyes.

Jingting licked his back teeth, not daring to turn his head and look at his wife’s expression.

Hardcore social death happening right now.

He snatched the book at the fastest speed. Suizi had never seen such new and unusual items before, she wanted to read it, but Jingting quickly stuffed the book to the bottom.

He hastily picked up a dictionary and hit the young man on the face with it.

"A trade of old for new, I won’t take your difference, take the book and leave quickly! Go home and study well!"

"Jingting, I want to see ’The Eunuch Case Caused by Extramarital Affair,’ not this. You mentioned last time, it’s very explicit and there are pictures!"

Suizi squinted her eyes further. So, not only is this guy selling those, but he’s also been reading plenty of them.

What are all these oddities!!!!!!!

The scale of print media at that time was a bit larger than in later generations, they were all sensational headline makers, quite odd.

Jingting noticed that they were exposed, he took the young man who had loose lips and dragged him away.

"Wife, he needs to go to the toilet but can’t find the way, I’ll take him there, you watch the stall."

"Jingting, I don’t need to go to the toilet, I want to see ’The Eunuch...’" The persistent young man’s voice disappeared in Jingting’s dangerous gaze.

The young man dared not mention the magazine anymore. Jingting’s dangerous look told him that if he dares to talk nonsense again, he would cut him down.

Jingting did have some reputation in this area, a rumor said that on the second day when he started setting up the stall, he had a fight with the local bully. The south part of the city had been told tales of him too, no one dared to mess with him.

"You guys, not going to the toilet?" Jingting signaled with a glance, and the young men around the book stall quickly understood.

"We’ll go too, Sister-in-law, you go ahead!"

Suizi saw Jingting take everyone away, she was both amused and irritated.

Was he going out to arrange another time for these people to come back?

She casually found the book he stuffed inside the pile, flipped through a couple of pages, what was written was indeed...hmm, hmm, hmm.

"Madam, are these all the books you have?" A new customer arrived, glanced at the books on the stall, and felt a bit disappointed.

"Wait a moment."

Suizi stood up, knowing Jingting, the things should be located...here.

Suizi pulled out a box from the deepest part.

"They’re all here, pick it yourself."

When Du Zhong arrived, he witnessed this astonishing scene.

The lofty and unattainable figure that frequently intruded his dream was standing in front of a tractor, selling books with questionable covers.

"This is what you call her detesting trading?" Du Zhong asked Wang Mengmeng who followed him.

Throughout the journey, Wang Mengmeng had portrayed Suizi as a pedantic intellectual who only valued books.

However, when Suizi started selling things, she was more enthusiastic than anyone else.

With her belly sticking out, she joyfully collected money. In just a while, half the box of books was gone.

Suizi had to admit, Jingting had a better eye for sourcing goods than she did.

The books she picked really couldn’t compete with these magazines.

As she bent down to count the money, she could not suppress the smile creeping up the corners of her mouth. Realizing that there was a pair of dress shoes in front of the stall, Suizi looked up and met Du Zhong’s eyes.

"You two really are...." Du Zhong glanced at the box, just in time to see the cover featuring a beautiful woman in a swimsuit.

Suizi quickly picked up a copy of ’The Analects’ and covered the beautiful swimmer, pretending that this was a box full of serious books.

"’Having friends coming from afar brings happiness’, Director Du, long time no see." She greeted him like a pedantic scholar.

If he hadn’t seen the cover of the swimsuit beauty, Du Zhong would have believed her.
