Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 196 Good intentions are taken advantage of

Old man Sakuma stared at Ichinose Qingyue, his head hurt.

"Absolutely, definitely I have met this guy. But why don't you remember it?"

Old man Sakuma couldn't understand, so he could only shake his head: "Where is Xia Ting, what is he doing now?"

"Nothing done."

Hai Tide's answer was obviously not satisfactory to old man Sakuma.

However, sea tidal algae debris cannot provide other answers.

"Is that so?"

Old man Sakuma shook his head: "I thought he did that."

"whats the matter?"

"It's nothing." Old Man Sakuma didn't answer Hai Tide's question, turned around and left.

He kept chanting Ichinose Qingyue's name.

"Tsk."

Smacking his lips, Hai Chao Zao Zu was a little unhappy: "This kind of behavior of stopping mid-sentence is really annoying."

Ichinose Qingyue was a little happy: "Let's leave quickly."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Shaking his head, Hai Tide Algae said again: "Okay, okay."

The two of them did not plan to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables. Instead, they planned to go to a slightly remote vegetable market to choose some fresher vegetables.

It was also near the suburbs, surrounded by farmland.

That's why such a small market was born, with shopkeepers dressed as farmers and wearing rubber shoes wearing stain-resistant clothes.

There are also many old men and women. It can even be said that the elderly are the mainstream here.

Piles of green leafy vegetables, white radishes, and brown potatoes piled into small mounds.Next to the neatly arranged green onions are bundles of leeks tied with thin ropes.

It was the first time for Ichinose Qingyue to see this scene, and she looked around curiously.

Even the smell of earth made her a little happy.

The tide algae crumbs were a bit novel, but Ichinose still took the lead when it came to purchasing them.

Ichinose Qingyue looked at the many vegetables and was dazzled.

Fortunately, there was a kind aunt who also came to buy groceries and took great pity on Hai Chao Zao Xian and the two girls.

The initiative is to introduce to them where the vegetables are fresh, where the cucumbers are crunchy and sweet, and where the vegetables are pesticide-free.

"Really, thank you so much."

Ichinose Qingyue was a little flattered. This kind of stranger's tenderness made her a little uneasy.

But more than anything, I feel warm in my heart.

"Oh, you're so polite." The aunt covered her mouth and smiled: "I feel comfortable seeing you two young girls. It's just a small favor. How could I not help?"

Ichinose Qingyue bought a large bag of potatoes, cabbage, and some other green leafy vegetables.

Place everything on the legs of the seaweed and let the seaweed hug it.

When she was about to leave, she saw a very pitiful old woman at the door of the market, with a small pile of vegetables in front of her.

The tops of the vegetables looked a little awkward, perhaps because there was no water sprinkled on them.

But Ichinose Qingyue still decided to help the old woman. She bought a bag of leeks from the old woman's stall.

Seeing the old lady's happy look, Ichinose Qingyue felt very happy.

"That's great, that smile is so nice."

"This kind of life is so good."

With this thought in her mind, she pushed the tide algae scraps and left the market.

"Auntie, do you also want to take this road?"

Ichinose Qingyue looked at her aunt in surprise. They had never encountered her when they came here.

"No."

The aunt smiled and waited until she was far away from the market before she explained her reason: "That old lady is a liar."

"Huh?" Ichinose Qingyue was stunned.

Looking at Ichinose Qingyue's appearance, the aunt explained carefully: "That old lady just likes to lie to children like you. Because you are too kind, and you can't bear to see that kind of old lady. Keep the precious kindness of giving alms.”

"But, she is just using your ideas to make ends meet and sell some crappy vegetables."

The aunt opened the bundles of leeks: "Look, the leeks inside are all dry, and there are even some mud weighing them down."

Ichinose Qingyue didn't hear the next words clearly.

Just nodded darkly.

Auntie had seen such a disappointed look many times. She patted Ichinose Qingyue on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll know next time."

Ichinose Qingyue smiled bitterly.

After her aunt left, Ichinose Qingyue stood blankly.

"Do you want to go back?"

Hai Chao Algae asked calmly while holding the vegetable bag.

"I know Ichinose Kiyuki is hesitant, that's how she is."

"Obviously I'm longing for something, but I'm always holding back."

"It took a lot of effort to muster up the courage, but like a flame it would be blown out easily."

"She is probably hesitating now."

"I want to go back and return this kind of thing, but I feel embarrassed and don't want to go back."

"So, I want to ask this, I want to urge her to make a choice."

"If it were now, she would probably still be there." Hai Chao Zao Zuo said calmly.

Silence, hesitation.

Finally, he spat out with difficulty: "No need."

She said: "No need, just take it as a lesson."

Struggling to hold up a smile, Ichinose Qingyue rubbed her hair: "I'm so sorry, Momo, it's a waste of your money."

"It doesn't matter." Haichao Zaoxian looked at the crowded street in front of him and said lightly: "I don't know how much money I have. No matter how much waste I have, it doesn't matter to me. .”

"The only thing I hate about you is your choices."

"Sorry." The smile on Ichinose Qingyue's face also disappeared, and she lowered her head and looked at her feet.

"Feel sorry."

"I got a little too carried away with what I thought I was."

"It's not the problem you think it is." Hai Tide Algae shouted loudly: "What I hate is your behavior of saying sorry all the time! Sorry, sorry! Why should you apologize! If you have done something wrong, you just need to make up for it. Isn’t that enough?”

"You can only say one sentence. Do you think you have nothing else to do? Please cheer up!"

This blue-haired girl in a wheelchair actually criticized Ichinose Kiyosuki with a very stern attitude.

It is clear that Ichinose Qingyue is more mature, and the sea tide algae is more immature.

But the reality is completely the opposite, which is really incredible.

Ichinose Qingyue just remained silent, completely speechless.

Tide Algae also slowed down his tone.

"Because you are my friend, that's why I say this."

"Because you are my friend, so I don't want to see you like that." "Because you are my friend, I don't want you to become what I was before."

She sighed.

——Now, even the tidal algae sighs often.

"I finally understand why the minister was like that before."

"It turns out that I was so annoying before."

"Such an irritating attitude."

"Sad for his misfortune, angry for his inability to fight."

Hai Tide Zaozu finally understood. She looked at Ichinose Qingyue, but she was thinking of Xia Tingfei: "However, he didn't yell at me at that time. He is really good at tolerating it."

Thinking like this, the two of them said nothing along the way.

After returning home, Hinazuki Kana looked at the two of them: "It's great, I can have a slightly richer dinner tonight."

"By the way, how about mashed potatoes? There's still some meat in the house."

Hinazuki Kana was thinking about it, but Ichinose Kiyuki suddenly bent over: "Sorry!"

Hinazuki Kana was stunned and glanced at the seaweed sitting in the wheelchair: "What's going on?"

"I was deceived." Hai Chao Zao Zuo said.

I omitted it for her because she was deceived by an old lady.

If you are simply deceived, it is just because of your youth.

But if it is because of wanton kindness, it leads to being deceived.

That would make you stupid.

Such a thing is definitely not possible.

She is her friend, so she will help her hide these things a little bit.

"Well, do you need help?"

Hinazuki Kana helped Ichinose Kiyuki up.

"Probably, it's not needed anymore."

"Then, come and help in the kitchen." Hinazuki Kana smiled softly: "Ichinose, you are a good student in school. Your grades in the cooking class should be very good."

"Ah."

Speaking of this, Ichinose Qingyue gained confidence again.

Good students, and good grades.

It is the only thing Ichinose Qingyue is proud of, although it is also the source of her pain.

But, at this moment.

Ichinose Qingyue is proud of her good results.

Hinazuki Kana winked at Xia Tingfei next to her, which made Xia Tingfei feel funny.

The two girls went to the kitchen and were busy, while Xia Tingfei and Haichao Algae chatted in the yard.

"Praise her later."

Xia Tingfei said softly.

"Is this okay?" Haichao Zaoxian looked at Xia Tingfei: "Before, you were even more indifferent to me."

"Sure enough, is this the kind of girl you like?"

"Maybe, probably?" Xia Tingfei smiled: "If I have to say the reason, it's probably because she lacks this kind of thing."

"What you lack is courage and resistance."

"What she lacks is self-confidence." Xia Tingfei looked at the wall outside the door: "Because there is no way, she is too afraid of this world."

"Even you haven't lived like this."

Xia Tingfei said this, making Hai Chao Zao Xian helpless.

"There is no need to explain such things to me. I don't understand it either. Anyway, just leave it to the Minister to do it."

She said: "Anyway, in the end. The minister always makes her strong, doesn't he?"

The girl looked at Xia Tingfei trustingly, making Xia Tingfei speechless for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Xia Tingfei who was helpless and didn't say anything, Haichao Algae was a little confused.

"This sense of trust is as huge as a mountain."

"It's really painful."

"But there's nothing I can do about it."

"Since you have chosen this path, just keep going. There will never be any room for regret."

"Nothing." Xia Tingfei handed Haichao Algae a piece of candy.

It's a pink candy with a beautiful wrapping paper on the outside.

"It's from strawberries." After taking the seaweed chips, he looked at them carefully.

"I wanted to ask you a long time ago, Minister. How do you take out this kind of candy from your pocket anytime and anywhere."

"Magic can't be told to others, because once others know it, it can't be called magic." Xia Tingfei used this excuse to fool Hai Tide.

But Tide Algae didn't care either, she just asked a little bit.

Not intending to really know.

"It's so boring." But she still complained and put the strawberry-flavored candy in her mouth: "By the way, where does this candy come from? I want to buy some too."

"This is also a secret." After Xia Tingfei finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"By the way, we met Sheriff Sakuma on the way." Hai Tide Zaochi suddenly said this, looking at Xia Tingfei who turned around: "He seems to be a little strange."

"Before, he was called the evil vigilante. It's strange and there's nothing worth studying."

"That's it." Haishio Zaozhi said softly: "But, he kept saying that he seemed to have seen Ichinose Kiyosuki somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. Minister, you know what's going on. ?"

Xia Tingfei stopped and turned around again. ,
"I know that old man Sakuma must have met Ichinose Kiyosuki near the cafe, but he lost this memory because of Sakuma's ability to love. That's why it seems very strange."

Xia Tingfei asked: "Did you say something?"

"What did you say?" Hai Tide Algae exhaled a sweet breath: "What can I say? I am not familiar with Sheriff Sakuma at all."

"That's good." Xia Tingfei said.

Made Hai Tide Algae suspicious.

However, she did not ask.

Because even if he asked Xia Tingfei, he would never tell her.

So, it's better not to ask.

Xia Tingfei walked towards the door and just said: "I'll go next door."

He was going to see Nishimiya Ruri to see if she was being targeted by old man Sakuma.

If it were according to old man Sakuma's standards, even a girl like Nishimiya Ruri who had just joined there would definitely be severely interrogated.

Standing at the door of Nishimiya's house, he took a deep breath.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, and it’s a little cramped.

"Is it Senior Xia Ting?"

Before he could ring the doorbell, Nishimiya Yuko shouted loudly.

Nishimiya Yuko, who was wearing a skirt, looked very happy: "What's wrong, Natsu Ting-senpai? Are you here to see your sister?"
