The car arrived at Huagui County Town.

The town station was located on the outskirts of the town, and after the bus turned into the station, Wang Xiaoqiang and Liu Juyi followed the crowd off the bus,

The tattooed man, who had gotten off the bus first, did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood beside the bus door with a cigarette in his mouth, gazing at them with a sinister look as if he wanted to imprint them in his mind.

Liu Juyi was already worried about the tattooed man taking revenge on them, so when she got off the bus and saw the tattooed man staring at them with cold, snake-like eyes, she shuddered out of fear and involuntarily grabbed Wang Xiaoqiang's arm.

Wang Xiaoqiang glared back at the tattooed man.

"Kid, you just wait, you'll get what's coming to you!" the tattooed man spat out the cigarette butt, crushed it underfoot fiercely, and then walked away.

"Feel free to come at me, I'm waiting for you!" Wang Xiaoqiang shouted, patting the hand Liu Juyi had clutched at his arm.

Only then did Liu Juyi let go of his hand, anxiously saying, "Little Qiang, we better hurry; it looks like he truly wants to take revenge on us..."

On the bus, Liu Juyi did not know how Wang Xiaoqiang had subdued the tattooed man, so she had no idea just how capable of fighting her seemingly frail brother-in-law was. From the tattooed man's words, she gathered that he might bring people to face them, and she feared Wang Xiaoqiang would be at a disadvantage.

"Don't be afraid of him!" Wang Xiaoqiang said easily. "I'd really be disappointed if they didn't come!"

Seeing how relaxed Wang Xiaoqiang looked, Liu Juyi was perplexed but much reassured, thinking, in broad daylight, what could they possibly do to retaliate?

So, she went along with Wang Xiaoqiang on his walk.

"Little Qiang, we should prioritize our tasks; shall we head to the seed station first?" Liu Juyi suggested.

"Didn't you want to buy clothes? The shops on this pedestrian street are quite good; let's start from here." Once they had reached the town, Wang Xiaoqiang felt more relaxed, and even though they walked close together, he spoke to Liu Juyi without any restraint.

The pedestrian street was part of the old town renovation; there was a small square at the center of the street, and opposite the square was a large supermarket called German Silver Supermarket. The pair walked together all the way to the German Silver Supermarket.

The German Silver Supermarket was the largest and most upscale supermarket in Huagui County Town, offering a variety of foods, drinks, toys, and national and international branded clothing,

Both Liu Juyi and Wang Xiaoqiang had only primary education and barely knew English. Usually, they wore inexpensive clothes and had little concept of branded items. They wandered into a store called "Red Bean."

Liu Juyi had fair skin and was quite beautiful, so she did not attract unusual looks in this global brand shop. Wang Xiaoqiang, however, had been tending fields since leaving school, had a dark, rough complexion, and though dressed decently, his clothes were inexpensive, instantly revealing his background.

The image was exactly that of a farmer in the city, especially with a beautiful woman by his side, drawing even more attention.

In the specialty store, a female cashier and three female sales associates—women with sharp eyes for their customers—could easily see that Wang Xiaoqiang was just a small farmer. Farmers coming to town was not unusual, but a farmer entering a branded clothing store certainly was!

Normally, because of the high prices, the sales of this high-end domestic brand had always been sluggish in county-level markets. It was rare for people to enter the store, and even rarer for them to actually buy clothes. Of course, the few buyers were either rich or noble.

However, some members of the ordinary class would stumble in, flinch at the prices of the clothes, and then sneak out disheartened.

As soon as Wang Xiaoqiang entered the store, he felt the atmosphere was off. The sales associates simply gazed at them with a slight contempt and did not come over to eagerly introduce and recommend clothes, like in other stores.

In fact, most customers dislike being hassled by salespeople as soon as they enter a store, and Wang Xiaoqiang and Liu Juyi were no exception. Although the store was eerily quiet, it didn't bother them, so they continued leisurely selecting and admiring clothes.

Soon, Liu Juyi spotted a beautiful white mermaid-style gown with a hem encircled with pearl-like beads, which looked very pretty. Her beautiful eyes lingered on it.

"Do you like it? If you do, let's buy it…" Wang Xiaoqiang saw Liu Juyi admiring the dress and spoke up directly,

He had been planning to buy Liu Juyi a dress anyway. Since marrying into the Wang Family, Liu Juyi had cared for the elderly without complaints and had treated him, her brother-in-law, with great thoroughness and warmth. Wang Xiaoqiang thought that even if he were to marry, his wife might not be as considerate and attentive as his sister-in-law. He admired and was grateful to Liu Juyi.

Seeing that her usual attire was modest and she only had a couple of changeable outfits, and that she had dropped any overpriced clothes without hesitation during their walk, he wanted to buy her this white dress that matched her temperament so well.

However, in the ears of those four clerks, his words sounded like a cold joke. All four faces displayed a disdainful smile, believing that Wang Xiaoqiang could afford the dress, but he surely wouldn't be willing to buy it.

One of the heavily made-up women spoke meaningfully, "Before looking at clothes, it's best to first check the price..."

This statement made both their faces turn angry, but it also reminded them to check the price tag on the dress. When they saw that the dress cost 1886.

Upon seeing this price, Liu Juyi gasped, and even though the white dress was beautiful, she didn't look at it again, immediately pulling on Wang Xiaoqiang's arm, "Little Qiang, let's go check out other stores..."

"Sis-in-law, we're taking this dress!" Wang Xiaoqiang blurted out without hesitation. He could tell that Liu Juyi liked the dress, and also, he didn't want others to look down on him.

The way those four clerks had looked at him, along with the reminder from the clerk dressed like a demon spirit, were all filled with disdain. Their looks seemed to say, "Countryside bumpkins, what are you even doing here? Can you afford the clothes here? Don't get scared later!"

Wang Xiaoqiang intended to slap their faces with his money.

"Little Qiang, are you crazy! Didn't you see that price!" Liu Juyi said irritably, trying to drag him out of the store.

Despite how much Liu Juyi pulled, Wang Xiaoqiang stood his ground and said, "Sis-in-law, I'm buying this dress for you. You must accept it..."

Saying this, Wang Xiaoqiang waved to the stunned clerks, "Hey, clerk, take down this dress for me, my sis-in-law wants to try it on..."

The four clerks were momentarily stunned, but seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was serious about making a purchase, one of the tall women didn't mind Wang Xiaoqiang's shouting and briskly came over, helping with enthusiasm to bring down the dress.

She was shrewd, as selling this evening gown would earn her at least a 30 yuan commission.

Liu Juyi, being a reasonable person, saw that Wang Xiaoqiang was determined to buy and did not push against it, tarnishing his pride, and immediately took the dress from the clerk to go change in the fitting room.

When Liu Juyi walked out wearing the dress, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. The white dress perfectly fitted Liu Juyi's waist, accentuating her graceful figure, sexy and charming, aristocratic and stylish; gone was the appearance of a country woman, she looked completely like a mermaid, very much a big beautiful celebrity!

Compared to her, the four exquisitely dressed clerks paled in comparison.

Wang Xiaoqiang stared at Liu Juyi, suddenly feeling as if his sister-in-law had transformed into someone else, and grandly declared, "Not bad, truly wonderful. This dress, we're taking it!"

Being stared at by her brother-in-law and complimented, Liu Juyi's cheeks reddened with shyness. She hurriedly turned to check herself in the mirror to see if it fit.

At this time, the clerk Gao Tao completely changed her attitude towards Wang Xiaoqiang, behaving like a servant, cautiously adding, "Sir, actually this evening dress should be paired with a pair of crystal sandals to look its best. Would you like to pick some for your girlfriend..."

"She is my sister-in-law, don't say otherwise."

It was common to see men spend big money on clothes for their girlfriends or wives, but buying expensive clothes for a sister-in-law was definitely a first for this woman.

She couldn't believe their relationship was just brother and sister-in-law, but she dared not oppose Wang Xiaoqiang's wishes, going along with him, "Perhaps we should pick another pair of sandals for your beautiful sister-in-law."

"Hmm, as long as my sister-in-law likes them, not just another pair of sandals, even buying two more sets of clothes is no problem," Wang Xiaoqiang said boldly, his gaze casually flitting to the other three clerks, who looked like they had been slapped, their heads drooping somewhat defeatedly.

They had not expected this seemingly unsophisticated guy to be so lavish, and his lavishness didn't seem to be just for show either.

Upon hearing this, Liu Juyi shuddered slightly, her heart filled with warmth.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's agreement, the clerk Gao Tao immediately started flattering Liu Juyi, lavishing her with praise while diligently helping her to pick out sandals.

Having already bought a dress and now purchasing shoes, Liu Juyi felt a twinge of pain on behalf of her brother-in-law, but seeing that he had made a bold claim, she naturally couldn't tarnish his pride. So, she cooperated and started selecting shoes, but this time she didn't care about their appearance; she only chose the cheapest ones.
