They say that shopping is a woman's nature, and when Ba Yuejiao shopped, she held nothing back.

Seeing textbooks for elementary through high school students in the corner, and knowing how sought-after they would be in a few years, Ba Yuejiao quickly had Zhou Rui buy three sets.

Once news of the College Entrance Exam is restored, I'm afraid even textbooks sold as scrap in The Town will become highly sought-after.

Such complete sets of textbooks wouldn't be purchasable even if one offered a high price.

If buying so many wouldn't attract attention, Ba Yuejiao would have wanted to buy them all.

When the time comes, once the College Entrance Exam is restored, she could make quite a bit of money.

After buying the books, the two left the bookstore, tossed the books into the Villa, and headed towards the largest Department Store in the provincial capital.

"Who do you think you're looking down on? Who said we can't afford a Rolex watch, and where is it written that we can't look at the merchandise?"

Before they had even entered the Department Store, they heard a harsh voice, which even sounded somewhat familiar.

"Exactly! Do you believe I'll report you?" another male voice rang out.

Ba Yuejiao stood in her tracks; the original owner of this body was very familiar with these voices.

They were practically engraved into her soul and deep in her marrow.

"Wife," Zhou Rui called out.

"Let's go inside and meet the scumbag and the bitch." Ba Yuejiao raised a bright smile and hooked her arm into Zhou Rui's other arm.

Dudu was asleep and was very quiet right now.

Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

He confidently strode inside, leading his wife.

He didn't make a point of loitering near the two of them, but walked right past them. "Wife, what do you want to buy?"

"Those shoes inside look pretty good."

Ba Yuejiao's crisp voice rang out in the store, and both Li Chuchen and Bai Weiwei immediately turned to look.

Zhou Rui immediately stated his wife's size and called for the salesperson to take the shoes out.

At this time, you had to buy the shoes before you could try them on, and you could only exchange them if they didn't fit.

Otherwise, if everyone came in to try them on and didn't buy them, what would happen?

Zhou Rui paid the money very readily. "Wife, try them on."

Because he was holding the child, it wasn't convenient; otherwise, Zhou Rui would have changed them for Ba Yuejiao.

"They're quite good, pack them up."

Li Chuchen and Bai Weiwei hadn't expected the two of them to look so happy.

Especially Bai Weiwei.

She had always thought that since Ba Yuejiao married a country bumpkin, she would be living a pitiful life in the countryside.

She would be beaten and scolded by a rough country man, disciplined by her mother-in-law, and work hard in the fields every day to earn work points, yet still not have enough to eat.

Day by day, she would starve into a bamboo pole, wither into a sallow-faced crone, and her past beauty would be gone forever.

Bai Weiwei had fantasized countless times about Ba Yuejiao's miserable state, but she never expected her to appear before them in this condition.

So beautiful, with such a bright smile on her face; one could tell at a glance that she was living a very good life.

That man was tall and sturdy, and he seemed to dote on Ba Yuejiao very much. He bought her a pair of shoes for thirty-five yuan without even blinking.

Wasn't it said that she married a country bumpkin who only worked as a truck driver? How could he be so generous?

A trace of jealousy flashed in Bai Weiwei's eyes.

It shouldn't be like this. For some reason, Bai Weiwei always felt that the way things developed shouldn't have been like this.

Ba Yuejiao shouldn't have such a happy moment.

She should, she should...

Bai Weiwei turned to look at Li Chuchen and found him staring fixedly at Ba Yuejiao.

Feeling a bit annoyed, she shook his hand. "Brother Chen, is that Bayue?"

The two came up to Ba Yuejiao, and Bai Weiwei also feigned affection by clutching Li Chuchen's arm.

"Bayue, is it really you? We thought we had seen wrong just now. Are you back to visit your uncle and aunt?"

"Bayue, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to explain to you; things really aren't the way you think."

"Brother Chen..."

Ba Yuejiao just quietly watched Bai Weiwei act; with this kind of acting skill, it was a real pity she didn't become a movie queen.

Not wanting to hear these nauseating words, Ba Yuejiao interrupted her directly. "It's fine. Now I have also found my own happiness, and I'm living very well now. I also wish you two happiness and a lifetime together."

Li Chuchen looked at Ba Yuejiao, who didn't look sad at all and appeared calm and relieved, and for some reason, he felt quite uncomfortable.

This woman used to love him so much, chasing after him for so many years.

The person who used to call him "Brother Chen" in every breath now seemed so like a stranger.

Why? If it were before, in this situation, she would have cried and made a scene upon seeing him, questioning him, asking why he didn't want her, and why he had a change of heart.

She should have pestered him to win him back.

After failing to win him back, she should have been heartbroken, listless, tearful, and emaciated.

But now, she was radiant and full of spirit, without a hint of sadness.

Actually, the situation Li Chuchen imagined, if it were the original owner, might really have been as he thought.

Unfortunately, Ba Yuejiao was no longer the original Ba Yuejiao.

"Really? Do you really wish us well? With your blessing, we won't have any regrets when we get married after the New Year."

"The day before yesterday, Brother Chen came to my house to propose. We've set the date to get married after the New Year. It's really great to be able to get your blessing." Bai Weiwei looked very happy.

"Of course. But Weiwei, didn't your parents want to marry you off to a rich person? So that they could help support your younger brother in the future? Did your mother agree to Li Chuchen's conditions?"

Bai Weiwei's face was a little awkward. "My mother naturally agreed. Brother Chen has been working very hard to save up the bride price for the past two years. Today, we are here to buy Rolex watches."

Bai Weiwei's tone was a bit boastful, and she deliberately looked at the shoes packed in Zhou Rui's hand.

As if saying, you can only buy shoes for a few dozen yuan, while she can buy watches for over two hundred yuan.

"Really? Then I'm truly happy for you. Two Rolex watches must cost quite a lot of money."

"But wearing them to get married, it really is so prestigious. I haven't seen a Rolex watch before; you wouldn't mind if I took a look, would you?"

Bai Weiwei's mouth twitched. When did she say two Rolex watches?

Two Rolex watches, plus the watch coupons, would far exceed five hundred yuan.

But she couldn't lose face in front of Ba Yuejiao.

"Of course." With the intention of showing off, Bai Weiwei naturally took Ba Yuejiao over to look at the watches together.

"Wow, what a beautiful watch." Ba Yuejiao acted as if she had never seen the world before.

"Do you like it?" Zhou Rui leaned over.

Bai Weiwei acted as if she had only just noticed Zhou Rui. "Bayue, is this your man? He really doesn't look like a country bumpkin."

"I thought country people were all very rough."

At the phrase "country bumpkin," many people in the store looked over, many with disdain in their eyes.

Someone even said, "Country bumpkins actually came here? They don't even look at what kind of place this is. Can they afford it?"

"But look at their clothes, they seem pretty good."

"Maybe they're borrowed, just putting on a front."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to look down on country people." Bai Weiwei said with a hint of apology.
