Savannah glanced at her and said “yuck” towards the floor, saying, “Honey, could you say something
nice? What do you mean by getting cancer? What are you talking about?”
Ophelia shook her hands and smiled, “Well, well, I am wrong. I apologize. Please don’t be mad at me.”
Savannah didn’t know what to do with her.
Most aunts knew Ophelia in the food market and greeted her enthusiastically.
“Ophelia, why don’t you come with Mrs. Miriam?” One of them who was around her forties asked.
“I come here with my friend today. How’s your business?” Ophelia picked a broccoli and asked.
The woman replied with a smile, “Just like normal. I will close the stall once I sell out all things in the
evening. What’s your friend’s name? She’s also a beautiful girl like you. I used to hear people saying
people of the same kind will gather together. Now it seems their words are true. Because you’re a
beauty, people around you are also gorgeous girls or handsome boys.”
Both Ophelia and Savannah were amused by her words.
Savannah replied, “Sister, you’re also a beauty. How about selling the vegetables cheaper for us?”
The woman was pleased. At her age, she liked to be called as sister. It made her feel she was in her
twenties.
She replied, “Well, you’re so good at talking with others. How much will you buy? I will cut one yuan for
each kind.”
Ophelia put the vegetables on the scale and said, “She’s simply joking with you. I know it’s hard for you
to run business here. We will give you the money as the same.”
“Never mind. It’s just a little. You two are beautiful girls. We really like girls like you to come to the food
market.”
Ophelia had bought lots of vegetables in her stall and the woman cut every kind down as she
promised.
Ophelia and Savannah came to the stall that sold chicken and ducks after leaving the woman’s stall.
They picked a live chicken and let the staller helped with plucking features and tidying it up. After
paying, Savannah carried it with her hands.
Ophelia asked, “Do you want to eat fish? How about buying some to braise?”
Savannah answered, “I will randomly have some noodles in the place I leave. You can buy some and
cook it for Zachariah.”
Ophelia smiled, “You can be my helper. How can I let you back to have noodles after cooking
everything?”
“I don’t want to be the third wheel between you.”
Ophelia petted her on the arm and said, “Stop making fun of me.”
Savannah smiled happily.
They both went towards the fish stall and Savannah said, “Honey, if I stay with you in your apartment, I
am afraid his face will darken once he comes back. Save me at that time. I don’t know what he will do
based on my understanding about him.”
Ophelia didn’t know how to rely.
Ophelia joked, “You and him must be cat and dog in the last life. You keep fighting with each other after
you meet. If seeing from the novelistic plot, you and him will be together and live a happy life in the
end, unlike your guys’ situation now.”
Savannah stepped aside and showed a defensive gesture, saying, “Honey, I come from another world
compared with him. Don’t put us together. We will fight all day if we end up being a couple.”
Ophelia couldn’t help petting her again and said, “Don’t be joking. He’s not as bad as you said.”
Savannah said, “That’s from your point of view because you’re couple. He’s nothing to me except he is
handsome, wealthy and competent. He doesn’t know how to care about a girl. I don’t know why you’re
in love with him.”
Ophelia didn’t know how to reply.
When they came to the fish stall, all uncles and aunts welcomed them. It was rare for them to see such
beautiful girls. Some women couldn’t help praising, “You’re so attractive. I can tell you are from a good
family and are well-educated.”
Savannah said, “You must also be beauties when you are young. I can tell from your body shape that
you have many boys have chasing you in your youthhood.”
All people burst out laughing.
Ophelia turned to look at them and found it was hard for her to praise her. They were just of average
look and some of them could even be called ugly. She didn’t know how could Savannah tell they used
to be beautiful before.
The woman was in a good mood and also cut down the fish price, “I will sell you beautiful girls ten yuan
per jin. I used to sell it thirteen yuan per jin for others.”
Savannah said, “You should say that we beautiful girls. You are also a part of us.”
The woman from the fish stall was even more please.
Finally, Ophelia and Savannah bought lots of raw materials and went back.
Savannah carried them all and didn’t allow Ophelia to help.
Savannah said proudly, “Honey, have I done a great job? I have saved you lots of money. How will you
express your thankfulness?”
“I will cook you a nice meal?”
“Stop talking about it. I will be transparent when your husband comes back.”
“Then what do you want?”
