Liang Xiuzhu was making lunch in the kitchen when she noticed they were out of salt, so she asked He Yue to go to the small store at the village entrance to buy some.
He Yue took the money and hurried off. As soon as she entered the store, she saw the shopkeeper, who was drunk.
"Grandpa Shi, I want to buy some salt," said He Yue, as she stood on tiptoe to place the money on the counter.
But the shopkeeper acted as if he hadn't heard her, holding a bottle of alcohol in one hand and tossing peanuts into his mouth with the other.
It's been so many days without seeing Jiang Wanwan. He had managed to bring her close, but then Ning Chenguang spoiled it.
He was filled with irritation.
Today he had another argument with his wife, which made him feel even worse. Since there weren't many customers around at noon, he decided to drink a bottle of liquor by himself.
