Cheng wanted to touch his mouth, smiled delicately, gestured with his fingers and said softly: "Drink a little, it smells so good."

Zhou Tianlei leaned forward and lowered his head to take the aroma of the wine from her mouth.

Before they could touch him, Cheng Xiang pushed him away.

Cheng Xiang suddenly thought that he should greet Brother Zhou Tianlei if he wanted Chen Jiao to do business.

"I plan to take Chen Jiao to sell vegetables in the city in two days." Cheng Xiang said with a raised face, not for discussion, but for notification.

Zhou Tianlei was suddenly pushed away by her. He suppressed the restlessness in his body. When he heard her words, he was startled and asked, "Why are you selling vegetables? Are you short of money? I'll give it to you."

After that, you have to take money out of your pocket.

"No." Cheng Xiang pressed his hand and said, "I just thought that if Chen Jiao could be self-sufficient and make some money, she might be able to live better in her husband's family."

After Zhou Tianlei heard what she said, he nodded clearly. It turned out that he wanted to help Chen Jiao. He knew that Cheng Xiang was a soft-hearted person and could not bear to see others suffer, but she didn't seem to understand men very well.

He thought for a moment, then held Cheng Xiang's shoulders and said, "Think about it, a man hits a woman because he likes to hit women. It has nothing to do with whether the woman can make money, do you understand?"

Cheng Xiang nodded thoughtfully, because later generations also said that "domestic violence only occurs 0 times and countless times."

She knew that once a man started to do something, it would be difficult for him to control himself, especially for a scumbag like Zhou Tianwang. It was impossible for him to change.

"I just think that Chen Jiao can learn some self-sufficiency methods. If she leaves that man one day, she can live a good life." Cheng Xiang said his thoughts truthfully.

Even though Zhou Tianlei had seen the world, he was still shocked by her words. She wanted Chen Jiao to divorce.

She didn't know how difficult this road was for a woman.

"I think Chen Jiao has been forced into an alley. If this continues, she might..." Cheng Xiang bit his lip and said no more.

Zhou Tianlei understood what she meant. He grew up in a rural area, and there were not many women in any village who jumped into the river and hanged themselves.

If there is a way to survive, who would choose death?

Zhou Tianlei sighed, stretched out his hand to rub her hair and said, "Okay, let's go."

Cheng Xiang nodded happily, hugged Zhou Tianlei's neck, stood on tiptoes, kissed him on the face and said, "Zhou Tianlei, you are a good person."

After saying that, she happily carried her wine jar to the kitchen.

Zhou Tianlei was so aroused by her that he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly.

On the day of entering the city, Cheng remembered the early morning, thinking that if he went early, he would have enough time to choose a good location, prepare breakfast for the children early in the morning, and leave Qing'er to Xiuhua.

Every time Xiuhua was asked to take care of the children, Cheng Xiang would give her a lot of thank-you gifts, meat or candies, and sometimes cakes made by herself. In addition, Huzi liked to play with Qing'er, so Xiuhua also Happy to help.

The genius had just been polished, and Chen Jiao arrived at the door of Cheng Xiang's house carrying a big basket on her back. The basket was full of vegetables that had been picked, sprinkled with some water, and covered with a damp cloth to keep them fresh. It was obvious that she had spent a lot of time thought.

On the way to the station, Chen Jiao took out a handful of colorful ropes from her bag, woven with colorful silk threads.

Chen Jiao said a little shyly: "Wearing colorful ropes during the Dragon Boat Festival is to ward off evil spirits. I made these up myself. I thought that if there are people buying food, I can give one to them as a token of appreciation."

Cheng Xiang looked at her in surprise: "Sister Jiao, you actually still have the awareness of giving away gifts?"

From the few encounters, Cheng Xiang felt that she was different from the dull women in the village, and now it seemed that was indeed the case.

When giving advice to others, you should think about it and accept it, rather than reject it without thinking. If you want to do it, do it to perfection and be able to think divergently. Such people are rare even in future generations with open minds.

Cheng Xiang is not a compassionate saint.

If Chen Jiao just blames herself for her situation and is unwilling to make any changes, Cheng Xiang will definitely put aside the plot to help others and respect her fate.

But the Chen Jiao in front of her made it worth it.

When they walked to the station, they caught the first bus. There were not many people at this time and both of them had seats.

In about forty minutes, they arrived in the city.

After coming out of the station, Cheng Xiang was thinking about getting some land to set up a stall.

It’s hot in the summer, and when the sun comes out, the vegetables will wilt and look bad. You have to find a place that’s closer and has a lot of traffic.

Look at the time, it's not yet 8 o'clock, it's the time for parents to send their students to school.

Cheng Xiang remembered that there was a middle school near the bus station and a family building in the government compound. Yes, that's where to go.

When Chen Jiao arrived in the city, her eyes almost darkened and she pretended to be calm, but her eyes still showed timidity.

At this time, the only thing she could rely on was Cheng Xiang, and she trusted Cheng Xiang 100%, so wherever Cheng wanted to go, she would follow him.

On the roadside in front of the school, they found a place to put down their backpacks. There were already several stalls nearby, some selling homemade pastries and some selling bamboo baskets. Not far away, there was also a middle-aged woman buying vegetables.

They opened the wet cloth on their backpacks to reveal the vegetables inside.

After a while, more and more people were taking students to school. They were basically housewives or nannies from government agencies. After sending their children off, they bought some daily necessities and some food.

The people next to me started cheering at the top of their lungs.

Passers-by stopped and picked out the items they needed.

Seeing that the woman selling vegetables next to her had opened her business, Chen Jiao became a little anxious.

"Sister Jiao, we have to shout for whatever we sell," Cheng Xiang suggested.

Chen Jiao gasped, but still didn't have the nerve to shout.

Cheng Xiang cleared his throat and shouted in a clear and melodious voice: "Freshly picked vegetables are guaranteed to be fresh, green, healthy and pollution-free. Sister, come and take a look."

Her voice was clear and her appearance was attractive. Everyone was curious to see such a beautiful woman selling vegetables, and she couldn't help but attract a lot of people.

"This dish looks really fresh and juicy," an elder sister holding a child said as she picked up a handful of green vegetables.

"Yes, eldest sister, my sister just picked this from the field this morning. It's fresh. You can smell it and it still smells of dew." Cheng Xiang talked sweetly to the eldest sister.

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"Green vegetables are 4 cents, eggplants, beans, and peppers are all 5 cents, and tomatoes are 5 cents and 2 cents." These were the prices we decided on the way here based on the current market conditions.

"Don't worry about the expensive one next door," the eldest sister said with her lips curled up.

"You have to check whether our food is fresh or not. Give your child a fresh dish. It tastes good and is good for your health." Cheng Xiang persuaded the eldest sister with a sweet smile.

The eldest sister came over from the side of the woman who was buying vegetables. In comparison, the vegetables here are indeed fresher.

So I picked a handful of beans, a few eggplants and a handful of green vegetables.

Chen Jiao hurriedly said it was good and calculated the bill, which was a total of twenty-five cents.

The eldest sister gave the money and Chen Jiao helped her put the vegetables into the basket.

"Sister, it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival. Why don't you bring some mugwort leaves and reed leaves? Boil some mugwort leaf water. Children and adults can take a bath to remove dampness and cold. We also need to use reed leaves to make rice dumplings at home, right?" Cheng Xiang took the opportunity to sell them. other products.

Seeing that the eldest sister was hesitant, Cheng Xiang took out a colorful rope and said, "My sister made this colorful rope herself. It is said that wearing a colorful rope during the Dragon Boat Festival can ward off evil spirits. Give one to the child and play with it."

The children next to the eldest sister saw the colorful rope and jumped and said, "I want it, I want it."
