Chapter 172: Giving the Daughter-in-Law a Mobile Phone

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately stood up and walked over to Gu Chen.

She was dressed fashionably and her mannerisms were graceful and poised.

'Hello, my surname is Li, Li Aifang, I'm in the fruit business.'

'My daughter just gave me a cherry, saying that you gave it to her. I'd like to ask about the details.'

Because she was nervous, the smile on Li Aifang's face looked a little forced.

But really, you can't blame her, she was holding 20,000 yuan worth of goods in her hands, a full 2,000 catties!

For a fruit shop.

The number 2,000 catties is really very large.

The fact that she could smile was entirely due to her good psychological quality.

On hearing this, Gu Chen smiled apologetically.

'This is a bit difficult for me,'

Not to mention that Gu Chen's fruit is grown in her own space and is unique in the world.

Even if she really has some channels for purchasing, she would never tell her. Everyone is in the fruit business.

Telling her would be cutting off her own financial resources.

How could this be possible? No fool would do this.

The middle-aged woman also realised that what she had said seemed inappropriate, so she nodded slightly and smiled apologetically.

'It's like this, I've bought 2,000 kilograms of cherries, and I was hoping to get rich from this, but I didn't expect to see your goods today, and I was really shocked. I'm sorry for being so abrupt just now.'

She explained, her tone of voice showing her helplessness and disappointment.

This incident had hit her hard and suddenly, and she had really only made the choice she did after she had calmed down.

'It's fine, in fact, everyone buys their own, it's no big deal,'

Gu Chen tried to comfort her, but she didn't believe her own words.

After all, Haicheng was not a big province.

Not to mention Huang County, where she was now. It was really no exaggeration to say that there was an acquaintance every 100 metres in this small county.

How could it not have an impact? The population was just there.

'Impossible,' the middle-aged woman laughed. 'I may not have much education, but I've been doing business for many years.'

She knew that the impact could not be zero, and it was likely to be significant.

Li Aifang pursed her lips and spoke tentatively.

'I don't know, could you be so kind as to leave your contact details?'

Her mind was a little confused right now, and her immediate priority was to go back and sort things out.

She quickly thought of a perfect solution to the problem.

But no matter how she sorted things out, she knew that she would eventually have to get in touch with Gu Chen.

So it is necessary to leave a contact method.

However, after she asked, Gu Chen suddenly remembered something else: he had bought a mobile phone, not only for himself, but also for his daughter-in-law!

He took two mobile phones out of his bosom and handed the black one to the middle-aged woman, saying, 'This is a new one. I haven't memorised the number yet, so you can just dial it and it should work.'

Then he handed the other white one to Ji Pianran with a smile.

'Daughter-in-law, I bought this for you.'

Ji Pianran was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Chen to buy her a mobile phone.

She was a little surprised.

A mobile phone costs a few thousand yuan, so he could just buy one for himself, why did he buy one for her too?

She couldn't use it, and everyone in the village would go to her house if they needed something. The village was small, and it was just a few steps away, so she didn't need it at all. Having a landline was considered luxurious.

She was surprised that her family had a mobile phone, and there were even two of them.

This is really something I never thought about, and I wouldn't dare think about it.

There is no denying that Gu Chen has a good sense of aesthetics, and this white phone really looks good.

Seeing her clutching the phone, looking surprised and about to speak but unable to,

Gu Chen quickly held up a finger to the position of her lips, followed by a soft 'shh'. The light in her deep eyes was clean and pure at that moment, and her eyes were even curved into a crescent moon, with a radiant smile.

'If it's a waste of money, let's not do it, just this once, and never again, okay?'

His voice was wonderful, and there was a touch of tenderness in his tone.

Gu Chen knew Ji Pianran well, and knew that she was about to make the same old argument, thinking it a waste of money.

Ji Pianran's eyelids twitched.

Her heart beat uncontrollably, slowing down for a beat.

Gu Chen, was that just now, was he flirting with her?

Why did he sound like a child.

She blinked, a little overwhelmed.

She was caught off guard and melted by Gu Chen.

This feeling was truly blissful and tinged with sweet helplessness.

There was nothing she could do about him.

The warm, pleasant afternoon sun shone on her face.

Ji Pianran blinked, suddenly pursed her lips and revealed an uncontrollable smile.

It was a little different from her usual smile.

If her usual smile was dignified and like the first appearance of snow,

This smile is like morning dew, with a refreshing feeling that spreads across the face, radiating infinite tenderness and beauty.

It makes the heart tremble.

'Thank you,' she said with a smile.

Although Ji Pianran didn't know why Gu Chen was being so nice to her now,

she was incredibly grateful, grateful that Gu Chen had brought her warmth time and time again.

Grateful that Gu Chen had given her a chance to get to know him again and to understand him again.

She is grateful that she has finally waited for the present good life.

Gu Chen's heart trembled.

Looking at her absolutely beautiful smile, he suddenly remembered the first time he met Ji Pianran.

At that time, she was ragged and lying on a dry board bed in his family's hut, just one meter and two centimeters long.

Gu Chen didn't want to go and give her medicine, but his mother said that she would give him two yuan if he went.

In the end, Gu Chen cheerfully accepted the task for the sake of the money.

After all, he was never one to turn down money.

He still remembers the smell of the Chinese medicine, which even smells bitter when you smell it, and it's so bitter that you can't help pinching your nose and frowning.

But strangely, when Ji Pianran drank the medicine, her expression was not at all painful. On the contrary, when she returned the bowl to him, she smiled at him.

That smile was just like the one she is giving now.

It was full of freshness, like morning dew in the mountains or a snow lotus in bloom, so beautiful it made one's heart tremble.

Smiles overlapped with smiles, memories overlapped with reality.

For a moment, Gu Chen almost thought that someone had tampered with time.

He was back to the time when they first met.

This wonderful and profound feeling could not be expressed in words, leaving only a great sense of emotion and a long-lasting feeling of being moved.

'Sir, here's your phone.'

The middle-aged woman paced back and forth, her face showing some embarrassment, before handing back the Nokia 5100 in her hand.

If she didn't remind him, he would forget that he still had a phone.

After all, it really didn't look right to keep standing here with someone else's phone in his hand.

'By the way, this phone number is mine. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Li Aifang.'

She knew she would definitely be looking for Gu Chen again, so she said this to make a deeper impression on him.
