Chapter 763: Buying meat at the supply and marketing cooperative

"Heh heh!" Jia Zhangshi laughed insidiously, then continued to bury her head in wiping the dust from the corner of the wall.

Liu Haizhong and Wan Ping'an went to Jia Fugui's house for a while, discussed some trivial matters with him, and then said goodbye.

Before leaving, Liu Haizhong instructed Jia Fugui:

"Brother Fugui, you must hurry up and get the repair of your courtyard wall done; don't wait until the spring flowers bloom next year to start working."

"Don't worry, Second Elder, I will definitely hurry up and get this matter done properly," Jia Fugui promised.

"Then I'll be going first," Liu Haizhong got up and bowed to Jia Fugui.

After leaving the door, Wan Ping'an and Liu Haizhong chatted.

"This Jia Zhangshi is really good at being greedy for petty advantages, Second Elder. Now you can believe that this Jia Zhangshi is a petty person, right? I, Wan Ping'an, have only just become the First Elder of this Sihe Academy, and I've already seen quite a bit."

Wan Ping'an said indignantly.

"Heh, Ping'an, I actually think this Jia Zhangshi isn't as simple as she looks on the surface," Liu Haizhong said.

"Not as simple as she looks on the surface?"

"Right! Why did she become like this? You can find out if you observe carefully."

Wan Ping'an frowned and pondered: "That's true, she has changed a lot now. She used to love wearing bright and pretty clothes, but now she's all sloppy."

"Mm, so that's why, she must be hiding something from us. This time's matter wasn't exactly wronging her, but let's not fall into the trap she's dug."

"Second Elder, I know what to do, don't worry," Wan Ping'an nodded.

After finishing all the matters, Wan Ping'an went to the supply and marketing cooperative, intending to buy some food and dried vegetables.

Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, the counter was full of women queuing to shop.

Wan Ping'an shook his head helplessly, looked around, and found the place selling meat pies and soybean paste noodles.

"Two meat pies and soybean paste noodles, eight mao in total. Also, see if you want to buy a bottle of wine; our supply and marketing cooperative is having an event recently, and we have wine for sale."

Hearing this, Wan Ping'an's eyes lit up; this was truly like meeting a pillow when you're sleepy!

After buying the meat, Wan Ping'an picked out a few fried dough sticks to take away. By this time, the people in line were basically finished.

Wan Ping'an walked out with a bamboo basket on his back and a wine pot slung over his shoulder.

"Eh, Ping'an?"

At this moment, Wan Ping'an heard someone calling him, so he turned his head toward where the sound came from.

He saw a woman in her thirties waving her arm at him.

"Sister-in-law Wang!" Wan Ping'an responded with a smile.

"Ping'an, where are you going?" Sister-in-law Wang walked over and asked.

"Oh, I went to buy some meat."

"Oh, I see," Sister-in-law Wang nodded knowingly.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you don't have to set up your stall today?" Wan Ping'an asked suspiciously.

"Sigh, did you forget? My man asked for leave today; he went to help out at a villager's house. There's no one here now, so they just let me stay behind to cook some food," Sister-in-law Wang explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is. I've been too busy these past few days and completely forgot. I'm really sorry," Wan Ping'an apologized hurriedly.

"Heh, look at you getting all anxious. Don't be so polite. You go ahead and get busy; when we have time, we two can have a good chat," Sister-in-law Wang waved her hand and smiled.

"Alright!" Wan Ping'an replied readily, "Then I'll be going first, Sister-in-law Wang, please take care."

After saying this, Wan Ping'an carried the cloth bag full of meat and returned home. ===== CHAPTER 765 =====
