Chapter 1210: Chapter 1210 Seeking Medical Advice 3

Xiaoliu hurriedly chased after her, "Sister Jiu, Sister Jiu, you haven’t paid yet, eighty cents!"

"Just put it on my tab, I’ll pay in a few days!" Lu Zhaodi did not even turn her head, moving extremely fast, and in a flash, she was gone.

Xiaoliu’s face fell instantly, and he listlessly returned behind the counter.

"Anything else you’d like, sister? Take your time, I’ll go ahead and write it down." As Xiaoliu carefully wrote down eighty cents beside the name Jiu Hong in the ledger, marked the date, and noted "soy sauce" next to it, he secured the account book and then asked Tian Ling, who hadn’t left after buying baby formula, if she needed anything else, certain she wanted to buy more items.

"Does Lu Zhaodi often buy on credit? I clearly remember that state-run stores do not allow this," Tian Ling asked.

Purchases should be made with tickets or cash; goods were handed over only after the payment and tickets were presented. If it weren’t for Xiaoliu feeling that he had angered Lu Zhaodi and hastily served her soy sauce to appease her, he would have followed the same procedure.

Xiaoliu sighed, "I’ve gotten used to Sister Jiu’s behavior."

"You can’t condone this!" Tian Ling said, unable to help frowning.

"Sigh! It’s fine; Director Jiu deposits ten yuan here each month. I’ve reported it higher up: if Sister Jiu comes to buy things without paying, we add it to her tab, deducting from that ten yuan. If she does pay, then we refund the money to Director Jiu," Xiaoliu shrugged. "Director Jiu is reasonable and understanding, how can Sister Jiu be so different?"

Jiu Hong is reasonable and understanding? That might be the funniest thing Tian Ling had ever heard.

If it hadn’t been for the army’s intervention, the Lu sisters might not have survived. Thinking of Lu Zhaodi, Tian Ling felt a twinge of pity.

Only newcomers would be unaware of the past actions of Jiu Hong and Lu Zhaodi. Plus, with Jiu Hong paying more attention to his image in the past two years, it made Lu Zhaodi seem all the more detestable.

Still, she couldn’t say such things to Xiaoliu. Tian Ling forced a change of topic, "Weigh me a pound of candied fruit."

She bought this pound of candied fruit with her own money to give to Xibao and Fubao.

The more time she spent with them, the more Tian Ling grew fond of Xibao and Fubao, having never met children more intelligent and endearing. They always spoke so surprisingly, bringing a smile to her heart.

Carrying her shopping, Tian Ling hurried back without wasting any time; she hadn’t finished washing the clothes yet, and the triplets probably needed their diapers changed again.

A few minutes into her walk, she suddenly saw Lu Zhaodi shoving Bai Xue. The person walking with Bai Xue didn’t react in time, and as Bai Xue was about to fall backward, Tian Ling lifted her legs and ran up like the wind, steadying Bai Xue just as she was about to stumble and shouted at Lu Zhaodi, "Lu Zhaodi, what are you doing?"

Everyone in the family compound knew Bai Xue was pregnant. If Lu Zhaodi’s shove caused any harm, what would they do?

"Why do you, a sterile hen, bother about other people’s business? Go back where you came from!" Not only did Lu Zhaodi show no sign of remorse, but she also turned around and cursed at Tian Ling, with a fierce look on her face.

Tian Ling trembled with rage. "You... a dog can’t spit out ivory!"

Being naturally honest, she wasn’t used to quarreling with others. Bai Xue was different, though. She had always been gentle and refined in the cultural troupe, holding back due to her image. She had suffered a lot during her time at the Su Family home and had lashed out once. After that, she changed, as if into a different person. Protecting her belly, she retorted, "Lu Zhaodi, just by hearing your words and seeing your actions, it’s clear that heaven has eyes. It serves you right to not have a son!"
