Jiang Wei looked at Shen ng with so surprise, as if yesterday’s incident had never happened, true to being an actor, she adjusted herself so quickly, what a great mindset.
Shen ng glanced at him, not taking the bait. Just at that mont, the server handed over a green toy, but just one, as this thing was expensive. Display one, and if soone wants to buy it, they can directly give the custor an unopened package.
Jiang Wei’s face suddenly darkened as he watched Shen ng continue to examine the toy in her hands.
"This toy is imported, it’s the best for kids to play with, and it’s educational too, but it’s just a bit pricey. I was also planning to buy one for my little nephew."
Shen ng handed the toy to Ming Kai.
"Son, see if you want to buy it, Mommy thinks it looks pretty good. If you want it, we’ll buy it."
"Mommy, I want it."
"Alright."
Shen ng saw that Ming Kai really liked it, she asked him before looking for the server to get an invoice. Jiang Wei watched as Shen ng bought the $120 toy without blinking an eyelid, he finally believed the person who instigated him to co here, this woman really had money, even wealthier than anyone he had ever been involved with.
"If there’s nothing else you like here, how about we go sowhere else to look?"
"Let’s go look at the small backpacks, Mommy, I want to go see."
Ming Fang was getting a bit anxious, but since her brother liked the toy, she could wait a bit. She was now eager to hurry and see if there were any backpacks she liked.
Besides, she felt that the uncle nearby was so annoying, she didn’t want her mommy to talk to this man.
"Let’s go."
Today’s main goal was to make the kids happy, and naturally, she followed their lead. Ming Kai got his beloved toy, with batteries included, pressing a switch would even make it bark, it also had so settings like a gaming device. He held it high in his hands as if afraid that others wouldn’t see it.
Mingyang and Ming Liang also liked the toy, but the price was too high, they didn’t ask for it again, anyway, all toys at ho were shared by everyone.
Jiang Wei saw the big ’fish’ was about to slip away, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Comrade, why are you walking so fast? Look at you with four kids, and carrying things. If there’s any inconvenience, I can..."
"What do you want, why do you keep following us? My mommy doesn’t even deal with you, and we don’t know you either?"
Mingyang frowned and coldly looked at Jiang Wei, who felt a shiver in his heart at the sight of such a small person with such a strong presence.
"Little friend, although you haven’t seen , I know your mom... I an, Mommy. There was a bit of a misunderstanding yesterday. A near-accident happened when uncle was cycling near your mommy, I feel really guilty, luckily nothing bad happened."
"Hehe, after such an incident, shouldn’t you be avoiding us? How do you have the face to co up to us, and even follow us?"
"Little..."
"Mingyang, did mommy teach you not to talk to strangers? I’m telling you, I’m just a country woman, if you keep following I’m going to call for help. What kind of man are you, so shaless? You almost hit yesterday, I didn’t hold it against you, and now you have the nerve to co up to us? Whether I can handle my stuff is my business, what’s it got to do with you? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, thinking that a pretty woman shopping with her children would be an easy catch? I don’t have money, tsk, really didn’t expect it, the one who almost caused the accident now wants to get money from the victim, I’ve never seen such a person."
Shen ng’s voice was sowhat loud, and although the Friendship Store was also bustling with noise, everyone tried to suppress their voices because foreign guests might co. They feared the foreigners would see them as a joke.
Suddenly, a super loud voice cut through the buzz, and everyone turned to look in their direction.
In Jiang Wei’s heart, given Shen ng’s beautiful appearance, graceful figure, being featured in the newspapers, and holding a significant position in Ning County, it was impossible for her to burst into curses like a rural old lady, but to his surprise, the words she uttered were so unpleasant.
Being a pillar of the Ning County Drama Society and a man who cared about his reputation, he now felt unbearable embarrassnt as so many eyes were upon him, his face turning red with sha.
He glared resentfully at Shen ng and then turned to run towards the entrance of the store.
Shen ng snorted coldly and continued shopping with her child. The sales assistant who had previously sold Lu Mingkai the toy was also watching them, having felt sothing off about that man earlier, and she was right; he was thick-skinned. As long as no trouble ca of it, that was fine. If soone dared to bully custors in the Friendship Store, staff like her would not just take it lying down.
After a morning of shopping, they bought Ming Fang her favorite schoolbag and skirt, Mingyang’s preferred books, comic books and chess that Ming Liang liked, and Ming Kai happily carried his own toy ho.
It was rather hot today. Shen ng let the children play in the living room while she got busy in the kitchen.
While the children weren’t paying attention, she took out six boxes of cold noodles prepared from her special space and put them all in a basin. Just like her, the children liked spicy food despite their young age, and this wasn’t too spicy for them to eat.
On their way ho, she had passed by a deli. There were marinaded dishes for sale, which she purchased so of. Adding this to what she had from her own space and stuffing them into flatbreads made for an extrely delicious al.
That was their simple lunch.
In the afternoon, they all had a nice long nap. In the evening, Shen ng took the four children to the hotpot restaurant ahead of ti, ordered the dishes in advance, and handed over the food coupons and money.
Settling accounts depending on the actual consumption, she made clear her identity.
The person in charge of the hotpot restaurant knew that custors from the Police Station would be dining that night. They had been preparing for several days, completing various tasks, and finally had the opportunity to enjoy a good al. He specifically signalled the kitchen to serve more dishes than usual.
When Lu Zhenping, Chen Du, ng Li, and their group arrived, the four tables were already full of dishes. Shen ng and her children were welcoming guests at the door. Everyone was shocked to see so many dishes on the tables, as they had intended to be conservative when ordering, not wanting to overly exploit Deputy Director Lu’s generosity. But to their surprise, the sister-in-law had taken charge.
"Everyone, please have a seat. I’ve ordered before you arrived, sorry about that. I’ve ordered a lot of at and if the other dishes or tofu aren’t enough, feel free to order more. I’ve already paid for everything. Those who aren’t working overti tonight, feel free to drink a little; I’ve also prepared so. Enjoy your al and drinks tonight, got it?"
"Got it, thank you sis-in-law, salute!"
Lu Zhenping laughed and scolded, "With a benefactor like a mother, alright, hurry up and sit down to eat. Your sister-in-law has probably emptied half a year’s worth of my savings. If I run out of pocket money later, you guys will have to lend so!"
"Hehehe..."
"Lend, definitely lend, sit sit sit, everyone sit down."
"This slls so good. Sister-in-law, you ordered too much at, it slls amazing. I’ve been craving a bite like this for so long."
....
Those who had already tasted the food expressed their appreciation, while those who hadn’t were in no mood to talk, eager to pick up a piece of at with their chopsticks and dip it into the bubbling pot.
