Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

"Good~"

The stall owner immediately grabbed the knife and prepared to cut the marinated beef shank.

"Wait~ We don't want it~"

Zhou Xinyao quickly walked up to the stall, grabbed Zhou Sen's arm and pulled him aside.

From behind came the stall owner's incessant scolding.

"Zhou Min, what are you doing~", Zhou Sen lamented.

"Let me ask you, are you anxious because of the money?" Zhou Xinyao asked with a stern face.

Zhou Sen lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

"I just want to buy you some beef to nourish your body," Zhou Sen said with a sob.

In Zhou Sen's impression, beef is a very nutritious food, because he has rarely eaten beef over the years and is reluctant to eat it.

After hearing what Zhou Sen said, Zhou Xinyao's eyes were blurred by tears again.

"Brother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone just now."

In fact, Zhou Xinyao did not mean to blame Zhou Sen, she was just afraid that he would develop a habit of spending money lavishly.

At the rate money is being spent today, this little savings won’t last more than a few days.

"Zhou Min, I know what you mean. I don't spend money recklessly. I just want to give you something good to eat. You are so weak now and you are following such an incompetent me. I really don't know what to do~"

Zhou Sen went from choking at first to sobbing softly.

"Brother, I know you are good to me. I am in good health now and don't need any supplements. Look, my muscles are very strong."

Zhou Xinyao bent her arms hard to show off her little muscles.

Zhou Sen couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to gently pinch Zhou Xinyao's biceps.

"Ouch, it itches~"

Zhou Xinyao also laughed out loud.

The two people went from being depressed at the beginning to laughing heartily.

After laughing for a while, Zhou Sen sighed again and looked at Zhou Xinyao with sad eyes.

"Zhou Min, I think you must have had a good life before. It's really difficult for you to be with me now. Otherwise..."

Zhou Xinyao quickly stopped Zhou Sen from continuing, "Don't be in a hurry, wait a few days."

She was afraid that Zhou Sen's health had not recovered well. If anything happened to him, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

After all, it was Zhou Sen who saved her and took the risk to try the medicine for her medical expenses.

Zhou Xinyao felt that she would never be able to repay these favors in her lifetime.

"But Zhou Min..."

"Okay, brother, how about we buy some raw beef and I'll go back and make braised beef for you?" Zhou Xinyao said to Zhou Sen with a lively look.

"Okay, that's great, let's go~"

Zhou Sen pulled Zhou Xinyao's arm and walked towards the stall happily.

When Zhou Sen saw the stall selling beef, he rushed over as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Boss, how much is the beef?" Zhou Sen asked anxiously.

"How would you like to eat?" the boss asked slowly.

Zhou Sen turned his head and looked at Zhou Xinyao.

Zhou Xinyao smiled slightly and said, "I want to make some braised beef myself."

"Soy sauce beef. How about this one? It's got a nice big piece of shank."

The boss picked up a large piece of beef with one hand. It looked like it weighed at least seven or eight pounds.

"How about it? I'll give you a discount if I take all of them," the boss asked Zhou Xinyao with a smile.

"It's too much, I don't want so much," Zhou Xinyao said bluntly.

The smile on the boss's face suddenly faded a little, "Then how much do you want?"

"One pound will be enough," Zhou Xinyao said calmly.

"Ha~"

The boss sneered and threw the beef on the table with a look of disdain.

"Oh, sister, it's good enough if half a pound of beef is left after stewing. Did you know that only this little bit of beef is left after stewing?"

The boss stretched out his hand and gestured.

"I know, I just want one kilogram," Zhou Xinyao said persistently.

After hearing this, the boss raised his mouth corners, and his smile was full of contempt.

Zhou Sen also felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he smiled and said, "If it doesn't work, two kilograms will do."

"How many pounds do you want?" the boss looked up at the two of them and said.

"Two catties, two catties~"

Zhou Sen rushed to speak.

"Good~"

The boss then picked up a long meat knife and cut the beef.

Zhou Xinyao wanted to refuse, but the boss didn't give her a chance at all.

"Is this one okay?"

The boss picked up the meat and shook it quickly in front of the two men, then put it on the electronic scale.

"Three pounds and two ounces, give me one hundred and forty dollars."

This tone seemed as if it was a matter of course.

"Hey, I said I wanted one kilogram, but you gave me three kilograms more. I don't want it anymore," Zhou Xinyao shouted, unable to bear it any longer.

The boss slammed the knife in his hand on the table and looked at the two men fiercely.

"Do you still want to force the sale?" Zhou Xinyao asked.

The boss didn't reply, but his eyes became more and more fierce.

Zhou Sen was afraid that the boss would take action, so he smiled and took out his phone, "Okay, three pounds is three pounds, and you can eat the extra slowly."

Zhou Sen said as he quickly scanned one hundred and forty yuan to give to the boss.

After receiving the money, the boss stuffed the meat into the bag and threw it on the chopping board, looking like a local thug.

"Let's go, Zhou Min~"

Fearing that Zhou Xinyao would suffer a loss, Zhou Sen quickly pulled her away from the stall.

"Brother, that guy is clearly a bully, we should not buy from him."

Zhou Xinyao muttered angrily.

"Zhou Min, didn't you see that? That guy wanted to stab me just now. I guess he didn't do it because you're pretty."

Zhou Sen said with lingering fear.

"I said I wanted one pound, but he cut three pounds for me in a snap. Now this becomes my fault?" Zhou Xinyao said indignantly.

"Okay, next time we just don't go to her to buy it, okay?" Zhou Sen comforted.

"Humph, I won't go there again next time."

Zhou Xinyao also knew the principle of staying away from bad people, but she felt particularly angry about what happened just now.

Zhou Sen didn't care. Over the years, he had been treated coldly by countless people. There were many more disgusting things than this, and he had long been numb.

"Let's go home now. I feel really sad when I think about spending so much money," Zhou Xinyao said sadly.

"Well, we're not being cheated anyway, so we can just eat slowly."

Zhou Sen smiled and comforted.

"That's right. Let's refuse to waste our energy and start from now on. We should live happily. There are no obstacles in this world that cannot be overcome," Zhou Xinyao said to Zhou Sen with a smile.

"Yes, that's the truth. Your stupid brain has finally come to its senses!"

"Humph, I'm not stupid, I'm smart."

The two of them walked home talking and laughing...
