Chapter 1403: Can Have a Nice Talk
After a long wait, Ning Shu finally came out of the bank with the money. Cai Anqi immediately demanded, “Mother, give me the money.”
Ning Shu said, “Let’s talk about it when we get back. We can’t talk about money out in the open.”
Cai Anqi was very displeased, but she didn’t argue.
She inwardly cursed at Ning Shu. Old woman, I’ll definitely throw you out on the streets and make you beg one day.
After coming out of the bank, Ning Shu said, “Let’s head towards the vegetable market.”
“Why go all the way to the market? Give me the money, and I’ll order.”
Ning Shu calmly responded, “The dishes you order aren’t what Wang Bo normally likes. I’ll buy some groceries to make the dishes he likes.”
“It’s all food. He can eat them,” muttered Cai Anqi.
“You can go to the market. I won’t go.” Cai Anqi handed the basket to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu didn’t take the basket and instead said, “Come with me so that when you order, you’ll know what Wang Bo likes to eat. You’ll be able to order one or two of Wang Bo’s favorites.”
“Can’t you just tell me what Wang Bo likes to eat? Is there a need for me to go all the way to the market?” Cai Anqi couldn’t walk for long because of her high heels.
She hadn’t dressed so beautifully just to shop in the filthy and crowded vegetable market.
Ning Shu reached for Cai Anqi’s arm and said, “Just walk with me. That way, we, mother and daughter-in-law, can have a nice talk. If there’s any misunderstanding between us, we can solve it. It’s not like I can’t give you Wang Bo’s salary card.”
Cai Anqi wanted to get rid of Ning Shu’s hand on her arm, but no matter how much she tried to pull away, she still couldn’t get rid of it. When she saw Ning Shu intently staring at her, she finally relented and said, “Ok.”
This was all just for the salary card.
Ning Shu smiled. “That’s good.”
They had to walk all the way back and a lot further to get to the vegetable market. Cai Anqi had a basket in her hand, and she was slightly limping.
All the walking in high heels had made her feet hurt.
Ning Shu pretended to not notice Cai Anqi’s unnatural gait and didn’t bother to ask her about her feet.
When they arrived at the vegetable market, Ning Shu picked and checked every little thing along the way. The floor of the vegetable market was slightly dirty. Cai Anqi was worried that her beautiful shoes would be soiled, so she walked carefully.
Cai Anqi had sweat dripping from her face and a constant ache on her feet. However, Ning Shu insisted on checking several stores for a single type of vegetable. To get a ten-cent discount, she would run to several vegetable stalls, and Cai Anqi had to unwillingly follow after her.
The market was very crowded and extremely hot.
When Cai Anqi noticed that Ning Shu’s face wasn’t red from the heat, nor was she even breathing hard. She was instead picking out products with such enthusiasm even though she had been complaining about physical discomfort for the last two days. She seemed to be healthy enough, yet she refused to cook.
Cai Anqi felt like she must’ve been suffering from eight lifetimes of accumulated bad luck to encounter such a sly mother-in-law.
If she had known how deceitful the old woman was, she would’ve never married Wang Bo no matter what anyone had said.
Ning Shu dumped all the selected vegetables into the basket.
Cai Anqi’s face was gradually turning darker.
Ning Shu then brought Cai Anqi to a fish stall and said, “Wang Bo likes braised fish.”
Cai Anqi didn’t care about what Ning Shu was saying at all. The place where fish were sold was very damp, and the floor was full of dirty black water.
Cai Anqi didn’t know where to even step to avoid all the filth. Moreover, the shoes on her feet weren’t cheap.
Ning Shu grabbed a fish out of the water, carefully inspected it all over, and said, “The fish must not be too big. If it’s too big, then it’s old. One that’s not too big and not too small is just right.”
Cai Anqi nodded absentmindedly, not really concerned.
The fish in Ning Shu’s hand wiggled its body and slipped out of her hand. It dropped on the floor with sewage water, which splashed all over Cai Anqi’s expensive shoes and stockings.
Cai Anqi jumped in alarm and ended up splashing even more sewage water on herself.
