Chapter 1083: Sister-in-law Wants To Eat Oranges

When he looked at the three women in front of him, Lu Xingzhi was not unhappy about being alone. He put his hands in his trouser pockets as he continued to look at the three women. Most of his attention was on the hat on Jiang Yao’s head.

The county town’s market was crowded at that time. It was close to the New Year, and almost everyone in the county was there to buy things. The shop that Jiang Yao wanted to go to was in the market, and there was also a shop on the street opposite the market. It was the only shop in the county that sold baking items. The owner also had a cake shop, and business was very good in the county town.

Jiang Yao looked at the stalls on both sides of the market. At that time, most of the stalls were selling new year goods and fruits. Even though there were many stalls, each one was crowded with customers. That was a year-round situation. It was the only time when customers could buy things without the boss shouting at them.

“Sister-in-law, Sister, do you want to buy some oranges? The oranges in that stall are delicious!” Lu Xiaoxiao pointed at one of the stalls and said, “It’s even sweeter than the ones at home.”

Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao when she pointed at the stall. There were too many customers there, so Jiang Yao did not want to squeeze in with the crowd.

She and Lu Yuqing shook their heads tacitly and said at the same time, “I’m not going.”

Lu Xiaoxiao pouted and turned to Lu Xingzhi, who was two or three steps behind her and shouted, “Brother, Sister-in-law said that she wanted to eat oranges from that stall, but we can’t go there. Can you go and buy some?”

When Jiang Yao heard that, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. Lu Xiaoxiao was hungry, but she was also too lazy to squeeze in with other people, so she had to rack her brain if she wanted to eat.

Lu Xingzhi did not know what the three people in front of him were talking about, but when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao call him that, he glanced at Jiang Yao subconsciously. After he thought about it for a few seconds, he nodded and let the three of them wait by the side.

The oranges in the north were not as delicious as those from the south, and there were no fresh oranges. Lu Xingzhi knew that Jiang Yao loved fruits, so he did not doubt Lu Xiaoxiao’s words.

If his wife wanted to eat something, he would buy even durians, let alone oranges.

Lu Xingzhi was considered tall amongst men in the north, but he was particularly eye-catching among the southern crowd. He was not a friendly person, and when he stood there with a blank expression, he looked a little scary. So, as soon as he walked forward, many people subconsciously scattered and did not dare to crowd around him, so it was easy for him to get closer to the stall.

Lu Xingzhi stood at the very end of the stall. As he stood there, the people around him subconsciously walked to the back. There were not many people by his side. In a short while, that area was spread out until half a corner of the stall next door was exposed.

Lu Yuqing glanced at the scene and lowered her head to joke with Jiang Yao. “It’s a mistake for the neighboring stalls to open their business next to such a good stall.”

“The owner probably wanted to share the good business to bring some customers to her stall. They must not have expected all the customers would stand in front of her stall. No one could see their stall now, and they could not sell anything.” Jiang Yao smiled and nodded. “If it were me, I would choose a stall slightly further away. That way, someone else’s customers won’t occupy the spot in front of my stall and affect my business. I wonder if their location is fixed or if they can change daily.”
