The Magnificent Son-in-law

As lunchtime approached, the little girl and Lu Yao finally returned from shopping.

The two of them were loaded with bags, and if you didn't look carefully, you'd think they were a floating pile of goods, the haul was certainly substantial.

Once inside, the little girl "whoosh" dropped the stuff on the ground, as if she had fought a battle, panting heavily while plopping onto the Master's Chair Xiao Feng had prepared for her.

Xiao Feng, who was carrying a new chair out the door, saw this scene and hurriedly warned, "Don't sit!"

However, the warning came too late.

The Master's Chair missing a leg naturally had poor balance, and as soon as the little girl sat, it immediately toppled over backward, landing her flat on the ground.

"Ah!"

With a cry of surprise, she was already sprawled on the floor.

Xiao Feng quickly walked over, "Are you alright? Haha...hahahaha!"

Seeing Xiao Feng laughing heartily and not helping her up, the little girl felt indescribably wronged. After getting up, she pouted, teary-eyed, "Xiao Feng brother, you know Lu Yao and I nearly ran our legs off to buy these things.

Makes me feel embarrassed you can still laugh after I fell, I'm...so ashamed, I don't want to live anymore, ahhh!"

Xiao Feng struggled to hold back his laughter, stepped forward, and rubbed the little girl's head, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's all my fault, okay?"

"No way!" The little girl stretched out her hand, aggrieved, "Look, my hands are all red from carrying stuff, and you still make fun of me, it's really hurtful."

Xiao Feng took the little girl's hand and gently blew on it, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll make you something delicious later as compensation."

"Delicious?" The little girl's eyes instantly lit up, "What delicious food? I'll go check in the kitchen."

With that, she dashed to the kitchen like a whirlwind.

"..." Xiao Feng was speechless, the speed of that mood change was astonishing.

He looked at Lu Yao standing nearby, walked over, took her hand, raised it to his face, and gently blew on it, speaking softly, "You worked hard as well."

Lu Yao's face turned red, she lowered her head and said, "It's nothing, it's no big deal."

At this moment, the little girl returned from the kitchen looking disappointed, and complained, "Xiao Feng brother, you tricked me again, there's nothing delicious, I got excited for nothing."

"I said I'll make it for you later, it's not ready yet. Listen to the whole sentence." Xiao Feng replied innocently.

"Then I want braised pork and big plate chicken." The little girl started ordering.

"No problem." Xiao Feng agreed readily.

Then, the little girl looked at the toppled Master's Chair, her expression changed, "Hmph, don't think you can shut me up with food. Xiao Feng brother, you deliberately put a broken-leg chair in the yard, didn't you?"

"Do you think I'm like Zhao Guo'an, a morally corrupt person?" Xiao Feng replied unwillingly, "I was just about to replace it, and hadn't had time yet. You happened to come back then.

Also, you should fix this careless habit of yours. You sat without looking, just take this as a lesson."

The little girl was speechless, only angrily humming to express her protest and dissatisfaction.

However, soon after, the little girl's mood lifted, and she walked toward Xiao Feng gleefully, "Xiao Feng brother, guess how much we spent on these things. If you guess right, there's a reward."

"Didn't spend any money?" Xiao Feng asked tentatively.

"Wrong, wrong." The little girl shook her head like a rattle, then folding her arms behind her, biting her lower lip, said, "Although you didn't guess the right answer, you can still get a reward, just not now."

Xiao Feng's imagination started to wander, what could the little girl's reward be...

As he was thinking, Lu Yao preemptively revealed the answer, "The waterproof jackets were free, but the headlamps cost over 800, plus spare batteries, about 1000 altogether."

Xiao Feng unpacked a jacket, felt the material and thickness, and found it quite good, though the black and red color scheme reminded him of a delivery service.

"Didn't spend money, you two didn't just win them by pulling faces, did you?" Xiao Feng joked, "Was the boss male or female?"

"What if it was a man?" The little girl asked.

"Then return the money, however much it's supposed to be. We won't stoop to that level of petty advantage."

"What if it was a woman?" Lu Yao asked.

"Although we didn't meet her, surely she must be a kind, gentle lady. May good people have peaceful lives."

"..." The little girl and Lu Yao were unanimously speechless, managing such blatant double standards with such frankness, this is truly unique.

Despite their complaints, the little girl quickly began joyfully recounting the story.

After hearing it, Xiao Feng concluded that it was consequences of the seller's boastful claims...

The little girl and Lu Yao headed straight for the largest clothing market in town.

They encountered a roadside seller yelling advertisements, boasting about how amazing their jackets were, claiming they resisted cold and wind, and included a special material beneficial to people, reducing pain from arthritis and such.

This type of over-the-top roadside selling inevitably exaggerated, the seller even boldly claimed that whoever could tear the jacket with their hands could take it for free.

Of course, if the jacket couldn't be torn, one had to buy it.

The little girl and Lu Yao hadn't planned to bother with the seller, but the seller approached them directly, asking them to try tearing it with all their might, free of charge.

The outcome was predictable...

When the seller, boasting sky-high, implying it was bulletproof, found that the jacket was torn like paper by two seemingly fragile girls, the crowd went wild!

Everyone accused the seller of false advertising.

The seller sweating nervously, suggested Lu Yao and the little girl try again.

No surprise, the jacket was torn again in their hands.

The seller, realizing it couldn't continue this way, hurriedly made a private deal, giving a couple of free sets to the two.

After discussing, the little girl and Lu Yao felt that despite the seller's excessive boasting, the quality was quite decent, and compared to the markup at specialty shops, it was quite reasonable, so they agreed.

Thus, a total of ten sets, worth over a thousand dollars, were obtained without spending a penny.
