Upon hearing this, the woman widened her eyes in disbelief.
'Are you serious? You're messing with an old woman?'
This young lady looks soft and weak, and she is a little plain, but no matter how you look at it, it's impossible to believe that she caught the criminal.
Seeing the surprise on the woman's face, Ji Bianran gave Gu Chen a white look. This man!
He's not serious!
I couldn't have caught someone so fierce, and it was obviously him who caught it!
She said in a bad mood, 'Don't listen to him, he caught it himself, I'm not that amazing.'
Gu Chen's eyelid twitched.
Is she praising herself?
He looked at Ji Bianran with a mocking expression on his face, 'Where am I amazing?'
Ji Pianran naturally didn't know that Gu Chen was joking.
She looked at Gu Chen seriously. Gu Chen currently earned money to support the family, was good to himself and to Tangtang, and couldn't be faulted in any way.
'Well, actually you're quite good, and seem to be good at everything.'
!!!
Gu Chen's eyelid twitched.
He looked at the recognition in Ji Pianran's eyes.
He couldn't help his heartbeat quickening.
Crap!
He had originally intended to tease Ji Pianran.
Unexpectedly, she actually charmed him?
It felt like he had tried to rape her and she had instead...
He had to admit that this feeling really made him a little panicked!
He took another tomato and put it in the plastic bag, demonstrating his nervousness at once.
As for Gu Chen's question, Tang Tang felt that she also had a lot to say.
Speaking of her father, he was really small in stature but big in pride!
The little girl pouted her lips, her stern light blade really firm.
'My father is the most awesome father!'
Seeing the happy appearance of the three of them, the eldest sister couldn't help but feel happy too.
She looked at Gu Chen with a smile.
'Your daughter-in-law is really good to you. You didn't see it just now, but she was sweating with worry, afraid that you were in danger. You have such a beautiful daughter-in-law who loves you so much, so you have to treat her well. It's not easy being a woman in this world.'
She deeply understood this.
She thought that having children would be a way to show her husband that she had fulfilled her duties as a wife and that she could be relieved of her responsibilities. But who knew that once the children were born, her heart would be tied to them.
One after the other, she had to take care of the young and the old.
When the young grew up, she went back to selling vegetables to help make life a little easier for them.
She always felt that she could help in any way she could. Year after year, she grew old without realising it.
Looking back, she realised that she had never lived for herself.
Gu Chen nodded, 'You're right, Auntie.'
Then she handed over the tomatoes she had selected.
Auntie took the tomatoes, put them on the scale, glanced at Ji Pianran again, and chatted with her in a perfunctory manner.
'But then again, you're a discerning girl. Look at this young man, he's so handsome, and he can handle things. He's reliable,'
She has lived a long life and has seen it all.
She has some insight into people.
Not many people dare to fight criminals with their bare hands these days, for fear of suffering losses.
This is what makes these bastards increasingly brazen, and they even dare to carry knives. They just need people like Gu Chen to clean them up!
Clean them up a few times, and see if they dare to steal in the future!
Gu Chen secretly gloated after hearing what the old woman said.
I didn't realise that Auntie was so sensible and honest!
He had to support her business.
'Auntie, give me another bag. I like the apples,' he said.
Auntie Xiaoxiao said, 'Okay, these apples are good too. You won't lose out if you buy them!'
Gu Chen picked up a lot more apples and handed them to Auntie.
Auntie took the apples and weighed them in the city. They weighed ten catties.
She was busy and said, 'Is this enough to eat?'
Gu Chen nodded and said, 'You helped me take care of my child, so I should buy more. It's the New Year, and it's not easy for anyone.'
'Besides, these apples are durable, and they can be stored for a week without a problem. I'm usually busy and don't have much time to go out, so buying more to keep for my child and daughter-in-law is the same.'
After hearing what he said, the woman didn't persuade him.
After all, she didn't have a grudge against money, did she?
If they don't go out to sell things during the New Year, it's because they're short of money.
'Okay, the tomatoes and apples are 9.5 yuan in total, so you can just give me 9 yuan.'
This young man knows how to make people happy. 50 cents is 50 cents, it's not a big loss.
It's all about having a good time.
After the woman said this, she handed the tomatoes and apples to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took out some change from his trousers pocket, pulled out a 20 yuan note, and handed it to the woman.
The woman took the money with a smile, and as she was about to hand back the change, Gu Chen left with Ji Pianran and Sugar Sugar.
It wasn't easy for either of them. Twenty yuan is not a lot, but it is the thought that counts.
The woman didn't expect Gu Chen's family to turn around and leave, and she shouted anxiously from behind, 'Young man, I haven't given you the change yet!'
Gu Chen waved his hand without looking back as he hugged Sugar Sugar, 'Happy New Year, auntie!'
The woman was surprised that the young man was so generous and had even given her an extra eleven yuan. She nodded with emotion.
What a good person, what a good person.
Before they even reached home, Tang Tang fell asleep.
Ji Pianran was also exhausted. After all, she had been scared stiff during the incident at noon.
The mother and daughter fell asleep as soon as they got into bed.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, was not sleepy at all. He thought about the greenhouse and headed over to the house of Tian Laosi, who lived across the street.
After taking a few steps, he remembered that he had sold so many tomatoes and apples, and turned back into the kitchen.
He distributed some of them one by one, holding them in his hands, before walking towards Tian Laosi's house.
Tian Laosi's courtyard door was wide open, taking advantage of the good sunshine.
The couple, one sweeping the courtyard and the other doing the laundry, looked very harmonious.
Seeing Gu Chen come, Shen Cuilan smiled cordially.
'Oh, it's Chen! What brings you to my house today?'
Gu Chen smiled and nodded, handing over the items in his hands.
'Sister-in-law, I've come to ask my fourth brother for help with something.'
Although he said that, Shen Cuilan knew as soon as she heard it that even if it was a favour, it would be a good one!
At the moment, does Gu Chen still need help from his own family?
Even if it is a real favour, it is a sure-fire deal that will not lose money.
You definitely won't lose out!
And you came right away, carrying things.
That's too polite!
Shen Cuilan quickly dropped the laundry in her hands, stood up, wiped her hands, and beamed.
'When you come to your sister-in-law's house, it's like coming home. You brought things. You're so formal. Don't do that next time.'
After saying this, she took the things from Gu Chen's hands and continued, 'It's cold outside. Come in and talk. I'll go make you a cup of hot tea.'
Gu Chen waved his hands in a hurry.
'No need, sister-in-law, I just want to say a few words.'
'It's fine, how can you not drink some tea? I'll go make it.' Shen Cuilan said and already went into the house.
Tian Laosi of course knew why Gu Chen had come.
He put down the broom in his hand and said, "You came to talk about the greenhouse, didn't you?'
Gu Chen nodded, "Yes.'
Compensation is offered, forgiveness is sought~
