CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: THREE DISHES AND ONE SOUP

Anyway, she’s been selling goods in this market for so long, what kind of women hasn’t she seen?

Women a hundred times more beautiful than Jiang Wan are certainly not few.

Jiang Wan, although appearing fairly delicate, really cannot be considered a beauty.

At most, you could describe her as a ’small-town beauty,’ but even those words are flattering her.

Look at her now, Jiang Wan seems a bit cautious and humble with the man beside her.

When she looks at me, she acts so arrogant, it feels like her nose is pointing up to the sky.

Honestly, I don’t know where Jiang Wan gets the confidence to think she’s better than others.

If it weren’t for the limitations of her status as a shop assistant, she’d definitely publicly fight with this shameless homewrecker Jiang Wan today.

She usually hates homewreckers who destroy other people’s families the most, although the man isn’t a good person either.

Still, Jiang Wan truly provoked her.

If it weren’t for the sales figures, the need to feed herself and her family, she would surely slap Jiang Wan to relief her anger today.

The shop assistant spat fiercely in the direction of Jiang Wan’s silhouette.

Hoping that next time, this obnoxious person never comes to their store again, she really can’t tolerate even a bit more of this anger.

Should they meet her outside the market, she’d definitely slap Jiang Wan a few times, teach her a lesson, let her know she’s not so easily bullied.

Today though, they’ve already left, and there’s no time to say anything.

The commission from this pair of scumbags buying the gold bracelet, she’d take as compensation.

The shop assistant thought it was only fair that she earned a bit from dealing with such a despicable pair.

Outside the shop, Jiang Xin had been holding the camcorder, capturing the silhouettes of those two inside.

Although those two remained by the counter, looking at the gold bracelet,

Jiang Xin’s camcorder was high-definition, she didn’t even need to be too close to the entrance of the jewelry store. Within thirty meters, even the mole on Jiang Wan’s face was captured very clearly.

So whatever they were doing inside the jewelry store, every move they made was within Jiang Xin’s view.

Jiang Xin couldn’t hold back her delight, she recorded every scene, saving it onto a memory card to be processed into discs later.

Although their actions weren’t particularly intimate, who brings a strange woman to a jewelry store to buy a gold bracelet if their relationship is ordinary? That’s not just a small sum.

When the man paid just now, Jiang Xin followed along, it amounted to over a thousand yuan for a big gold bracelet.

If his wife found out, wouldn’t she be furious?

Jiang Wan originally wanted to annoy that shop assistant, so she acted especially close with Zhou Kuangyu just outside the jewelry store.

Little did she know, her actions completely provided Jiang Xin with strong evidence.

Jiang Xin almost burst out laughing when she saw that scene earlier.

She couldn’t wait to record all their affectionate gestures and actions.

Especially the clarity of their faces, it was almost real.

When the time comes, if the villagers see it, probably no one would doubt it.

After recording the video, Jiang Xin put away her camcorder. When she was secretly filming Jiang Wan and Zhou Kuangyu, quite a few passersby were watching her.

After all, Jiang Xin’s behavior appeared rather odd, plus the camcorder she was holding, in this era, eighty percent of people probably didn’t even know what it was, so everyone couldn’t help but stop and stare after seeing Jiang Xin’s actions.

Jiang Xin broke out in a cold sweat when she noticed people staring at her.

Afraid that she’d be mistaken for a bad person and sent to the police station.

So, after collecting the evidence, Zhou Kuangyu and Jiang Wan had also left the jewelry store, there was no longer any reason for her to stay. Besides, Lin Ye was still waiting for her lunch at the vegetable market.

...

After leaving the Department Store, Jiang Xin went straight to the State-owned Restaurant, looking down, she glanced at the watch on her wrist, and it was almost noon.

Filming the evidence of Zhou Kuangyu and Jiang Wan’s affair had indeed cost Jiang Xin quite some time.

This time was precisely when the State-owned Restaurant was busiest.

If she arrived late, she’d probably have to wait a long time for food.

Jiang Xin herself didn’t mind or feel particularly hungry, but Lin Ye wasn’t the same, after all, he had to work, and delivering meals was not very punctual.

Jiang Xin decisively shoved the camcorder into her bag, then removed the hat and mask she was wearing, to make herself look less conspicuous.

Then Jiang Xin headed downstairs directly to the State-owned Restaurant, which was still a certain distance from the Department Store.

Jiang Xin ran over, sweating profusely, even so, it took her nearly ten minutes.

After all, she couldn’t delay too long. If she delayed a bit longer, by the time she finished ordering and the chefs cooked, it would probably be one o’clock. By then, would it be lunch or afternoon tea?

Inside the State-owned Restaurant, Jiang Xin boldly ordered three dishes and a soup. She didn’t eat in the restaurant, instead, she asked the staff to pack it up for her.

Packed them into an aluminum lunch box she took from her bag beforehand, which was very common in this era.

In fact, Jiang Xin had a more advanced insulated food container.

But it really wasn’t convenient to take it out; after all, in this era, that kind of thing probably hadn’t been produced yet.

If people saw it, they’d wonder where she got it from.

So to keep a low profile, she chose a more common aluminum lunch box. Although it wasn’t insulated, the weather wasn’t particularly cold today, and the food wouldn’t cool down soon.

Putting the food in the box, by the time Jiang Xin brought it to the vegetable market, it would probably still be warm.

Besides, she wouldn’t be delayed for long, at most ten minutes, maybe the food would only go from piping hot to just hot.

The dishes Jiang Xin ordered were all meat dishes, which could very well be considered quite substantial for a meal.
