As they stepped out of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, two girls dressed in military green trousers and floral waist-length jackets approached them.
"Wow, look at that guy! He's really handsome!" one of them exclaimed.
"Is that his wife next to him? She's so pretty! And the guy behind them looks good too!" the other added.
They walked hand in hand, whispering to each other.
In front of them, Yu Songyu and Yang Qinghe were playfully teasing Xiao He, completely unaware of the situation behind them.
Wang Jianjun and Li Xiuzhen, however, overheard every word the two girls said. Ever since Li Xiuzhen and Yang Qinghe became Yu Songyu's protectors, Wang Jianjun realized that getting close to her was nearly impossible. Besides, both of them were already in relationships, so he had to give up on his feelings for Yu Songyu; after all, one should never betray a friend's partner.
But these two girls were different. Although they were average-looking, they were far more appealing than the burly woman beside him.
Wang Jianjun tilted his head back and flashed a charming smile at the two girls, straightening his posture and tugging at his shirt collar intentionally.
Instantly, the girls felt their hearts race as they were struck by Wang Jianjun's good looks.
However, in the next moment, a sharp glare shot toward them, making both girls shiver in unison.
Li Xiuzhen's expression darkened, causing the two young women to hurriedly rush into the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, fearing that if they lingered even a second longer, this fierce woman would devour them alive.
"Move it!"
The voice was deafening. Wang Jianjun instantly deflated like a balloon, trailing behind Li Xiuzhen like a submissive attendant with his head bowed. He couldn't quite understand why he was so intimidated by her; it felt as if she had him firmly under her control.
Xiao He had come out this time too and had grown much closer to Yu Songyu and Yang Qinghe. After all, being a child meant not having too many worries; as long as the days ahead went smoothly, the unpleasant experiences from before would gradually fade with time.
"Oh, Captain Yang! What are you up to?"
As they entered the village, they spotted Wang Widow standing at the entrance chatting animatedly with several women. At that moment, she was gossiping about a family that had fallen from grace.
Seeing Yang Qinghe and the others arrive, she quickly approached them.
"Aunt Wang, could you please let the villagers who are bringing fish know to come to Yu Zhiqing's house to collect their payment?"
"What? Payment?"
Wang Widow knew about Yu Songyu and the others collecting fish but was surprised to learn that it could actually be exchanged for money. A twinge of jealousy stirred within her.
"Alright, I'm on my way!"
However, they were still willing to do this kind of thing. After all, as the village's information hub, they had already talked endlessly about the trivial matters of daily life. At this moment, they were just worried about having nothing to discuss!
These women were quite proactive. Not long after Yang Qinghe and the others left, villagers began to show up one after another.
Yang Guangfu, Yuan Jiao Liu, Zhang Wancai, and Yuan Jiao—the number of villagers coming this time was significantly more than those who had previously delivered fish. Many were curious to see if selling fish for money was really true.
"Captain Yang, can you really make money from this?"
Some women couldn't sit still any longer; they wanted to clarify. If it was indeed profitable, they would send their husbands to the ice river to catch fish.
"Can't you see for yourself? Why are you still asking?"
Li Xiuzhen knew that this woman loved to gossip and didn't have a good impression of her, so she shot back directly.
"Oh, I was just asking! Is that a problem? When do we need to go?"
Although the woman was retorted, after so many years in the village, her skin had thickened beyond measure. This was just the beginning!
"Yes, we will need more, but you'll have to wait for my notification!"
