Su Xiaoxiao had just led her two younger brothers around the last street corner.
A sleazy man with triangular eyes, a narrow forehead, and a sharp chin reached out to block her path.
"Xiaoxiao, what a coincidence."
What a big-headed lie, don't think she doesn't know, this guy had been lurking here all along, probably waiting just for her.
Look closely, the man in front of her is called Sun Wenbing, the youngest son of the village party secretary, and he's currently trying to chat up a pure and lovely beautiful girl.
The pure and adorable Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said softly, "Scram!"
After speaking, she started to drag her two brothers away to find another route.
Sun Wenbing chased after her with a grin, "Xiaoxiao, don't go, I genuinely want to have a relationship with you, could you consider me?"
Su Xiaoxiao was about to roll up her sleeves when she suddenly remembered something, stopped walking, and looked at him with a sweet smile, "Alright."
Her fair and pretty little face seemed to glow in the sunlight.
Sun Wenbing stared in disbelief, his eyes wide open, "Xiaoxiao, you really agree to be with me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Xiaoxiao raised a finger and waved it, "Hold on, if you want to date me, show me your determination first."
Sun Wenbing immediately got so excited he tried to grab Su Xiaoxiao's hand, but she swiftly dodged.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm sincerely devoted to you. Whatever you ask, I'm willing to do."
"Really?" Su Xiaoxiao seemed deeply touched, then pointed ahead, "Then eat the dog poop over there."
"Xiaoxiao, stop joking, there's no..."
Before his words were finished, Sun Wenbing was shocked to see that, just a step ahead, a steaming pile of dog poop was sitting conspicuously.
Where did that come from?
There isn't even a dog around here, so where did such fresh dog poop come from?
Sun Wenbing's face twisted: "Xiaoxiao, this..."
"What? Do I need to get you a spoon?"
Sun Wenbing: "..."
"You claim you want to date me, yet you won't even do such a small thing for me. You're definitely lying!"
After finishing, Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be heartbroken and dragged her two brothers away crying.
Leaving Sun Wenbing and the dog poop staring at each other.
Seriously, what kind of person uses this to show their determination?
After a couple of steps, the sadness on Su Xiaoxiao's face vanished in an instant, she slowed her pace and leisurely dragged her little brothers back home.
Su Jianwen curiously asked her, "Sis, if he really ate that dog poop, would you agree to date him?"
"If someone can eat dog poop, there's nothing they wouldn't do, such a person is scary, absolutely no dating."
Su Jianwen: "…" Why does it feel like his sister is the scarier one?
As they were walking, Su Jianwu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What are you doing?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him doubtfully, only to see him staring eagerly at the supply and sales store, licking his lips: "Sis, didn't you find a penny earlier? I want to eat sweets."
Colored sweets are the cheapest candy in this era, costing a penny each, with various colors like red, yellow, green, and blue, coated in sugar and kept in a glass jar. The shopkeeper would scoop them out for you as needed.
"Sis, please."
Su Jianwu blinked his big eyes and looked at her expectantly.
Su Jianwen imitated him, hugging her arm and shaking it, using a cute voice to plead, "Sister, I want to eat too."
Su Xiaoxiao felt a sudden chill, pressing down the twitching in her temples: "Stop making trouble, I'll buy them for you, okay?"
She pinched the penny and walked into the supply and sales store.
Su Family Town is considered a big village for miles around, and the only supply and sales store was set up here.
The shop wasn't big, just a single counter with a female shopkeeper who appeared to be around twenty years old. Her skin was slightly dark, with a round face and two braided pigtails, presently leaning on the counter lazily dozing off.
It was work time now, so the store was practically empty.
Seeing her enter, the shopkeeper lifted her eyelids: "What do you want?"
Su Xiaoxiao placed the penny on the counter, "Hello, I want a penny worth of colored sweets."
The shopkeeper looked at her disdainfully, scooped out four sweets with a small scoop, and spoke rudely, "Hold out your hand."
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then she had four colored sweets in her hand.
At the same time, a ding sounded in her mind.
The wallet section showed two gold coins turning into one point three.
This is...
Su Xiaoxiao excitedly checked the balance details, and saw a clearly visible line: Purchase rebate 0.3.
Below was a small note: As the game level increases, the rebate ratio will gradually increase.
Such good things actually exist! Su Xiaoxiao was thrilled.
The two little brothers were equally excited, each reaching out their hands: "Sis, I want blue and red."
"Sis, I want pink and yellow."
Su Xiaoxiao extended her hand, not bothering with the colors, and directly put two candies into each of their hands: "Let's go."
She just felt the shopkeeper's gaze wasn't very friendly, could she have offended her somehow?
While pondering, the shopkeeper's voice sounded again from behind.
"Hey, don't leave yet."
Su Xiaoxiao turned around confused, "What's up?"
"I need to use the bathroom, watch the shop for me for a bit."
She then rushed towards the side door without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao's agreement, turned back at the door, and gave Su Xiaoxiao a glare: "I remember every single thing here, don't even think about stealing."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Is this woman nuts? On what grounds should she help watch the shop? Also with that terrible attitude.
"Let's go."
Without hesitation, she dragged her two little brothers who were sucking on their candy and left.
Su Jianwen held her back: "Sis, we can't leave, we have to help Sister Dongmei watch the store."
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless: "Why?"
Su Jianwu gave her a puzzled look: "Sis, she's the sister of the woman Dad made a mistake with, don't you remember?"
With this, Su Xiaoxiao remembered.
This woman is called Zhang Dongmei, she originally had an older sister named Zhang Guiying, who once went to farm in the village years ago.
Father Su was the village head at that time, and because someone reported his harassment towards Zhang Guiying, he was captured by the police, got shot, and Zhang Guiying jumped into the river not long afterward.
Ever since then, Zhang Family has always bossed the Su Family around using this as leverage.
Because of this incident, their whole family got gossiped about relentlessly.
Sun Wenbing's father became the village party secretary because he bravely stopped Father Su from committing his immoral act.
As she was lost in thought, a low magnetic male voice suddenly sounded next to her: "Hello comrade, I'm introduced by Aunt Chen..."
Su Xiaoxiao looked up and saw a man wearing an army green T-shirt, with a buzz cut, tall stature, and long legs walking in.
The man's skin was healthy wheat-colored, broad shoulders and narrow waist, with noticeable muscle outlines beneath his clothing as he moved.
Phew, this was sheer walking hormones.
