Chapter 547: Love is Worthless
Two teenagers, a man and a woman, walked along the seashore.
The woman was beautiful but wore a cheap outfit that cost less than five hundred yuan.
On the other hand, the man’s appearance was barely average.
His face was unremarkable and had the tendency to fade into the surroundings.
However, these two unlikely people were holding hands and looked at each other with deep love in their eyes.
Seeing this, the surrounding people shook their heads and sighed in regret.
"What a sin." Someone said.
"A good flower has been planted in cow dung." Another said.
"That woman is so beautiful. She is more beautiful than the famous celebrities I have seen on TV."
"I agree, she is so beautiful."
"Why is such a beauty holding hands with a loser?"
"You don’t know..." Someone said and sighed.
"Old man Li, what do you know?"
"The man is Jiang Zhen and the beauty is Yu Yue. They moved here five days ago and have opened a snack shop." Old man Li revealed.
"How can such a beauty work in a snack shop? What a sin!"
"I heard they are a married couple."
"Married? Are they old enough to get married?"
"They look less than twenty. How can they be married?"
"Young people are frivolous. They call each other ’husband’ and ’wife’ without getting the certificate."
"It should be like that."
"If they haven’t gotten the certificate, Beauty Yu can still be saved."
"Are you going to meddle in other people’s business?"
"What if I meddle? I can stand to watch the toad eating swan meat."
"I advise you not to get involved in other people’s business."
As the crowd whispered behind their backs, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen continued their evening walk.
"What a blunder." Jiang Yue complained and sighed in helplessness.
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen also sighed.
In preparation for their mortal life experience, the two took special disguise pills.
Unfortunately, the results were unprecedently bad.
"How can I look so ordinary." Jiang Yue gritted his teeth in anger.
’I would rather be ordinary.’ Yu Nianzhen thought and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"The effect will last one hundred years. We have no choice but to endure." Yu Nianzhen said and Jiang Yue felt angrier.
The thought of looking ordinary for one hundred years was depressing.
However, as Yu Nianzhen said, they could only endure.
"Azhen, it’s almost time for the evening crowd. Let’s go back." Jiang Yue reminded and held Yu Nianzhen’s hand.
Their current location was Lingshui town.
Lingshui town was close to the West Sea and had a thriving port.
Unfortunately, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue didn’t have proper identities or certificates.
Since they were experiencing mortal life and couldn’t use their skills to forge identities or papers, the two could only fall back on manual labour or simple business.
In the end, they chose to open a snack shop.
Although the shop was small and only about ten square metres, it was in a good location with a lot of traffic.
At this time, customers had already begun to crowd in front of the shop.
"Please let us pass." Jiang Yue squeezed through the crowd while protecting Yu Nianzhen in his arms.
"Boss, where did you go?" Someone asked as he looked at the two.
"The missus and I went for a walk." Jiang Yue answered with a smile on his face.
"Boss Jiang is so happy."
"Boss Jiang must have saved the galaxy in his previous life. Otherwise, with his ordinary face, how can he marry such a beautiful wife?" One of the guests said with a sour look on his face.
"If you are envious, you should do more good deeds in this life. Maybe you will be lucky to marry a beautiful wife in your next life." Jiang Yue teased and several people burst into laughter.
"Who cares about the next life? I want to marry a beautiful wife in this life."
"Boss Jiang, does your wife have a sister?"
"I was one of the first customers to visit ’Zhenyue snack shop’. If there is a sister, I want priority."
"Shut up! I am better looking than you so I should have priority."
"I make more money."
"My figure is better."
"I have a house and a car."
"Bullshit! Don’t you rent a room above the old bird’s bar?"
"Your car is a piece of junk that hasn’t been driven in more than a decade."
Seeing the crowd was beginning to get out of control, Jiang Yue looked at Yu Nianzhen and felt a little helpless.
’As expected, beauty brings disaster.’ He thought and rolled his eyes.
"Stop." He shouted and quickly continued.
"My wife doesn’t have a sister. If you are here to eat, hurry up and let us pass."
Hearing that, the crowd expressed their disappointment but allowed the two to pass through.
Soon after, Jiang Yue opened the front door and entered the small snack shop.
"Boss Jiang, how long until we can eat?" Someone shouted.
"Wait ten minutes." Jiang Yue said and then pointed at a small fridge placed in one corner of the snack shop.
"You can have some drinks as you wait." He said.
"Boss Jiang, why don’t you stock some beer?" Someone questioned and everyone looked at Jiang Yue with an expectant look in their eyes.
However, Jiang Yue shuddered.
Originally, he and Yu Nianzhen thought about stocking alcohol.
However, they didn’t dare.
Considering Yu Nianzhen’s current appearance, a snack shop at a busy port was already pushing it.
If they opened a bar, they would likely encounter more problems than they could handle.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue smiled and answered the expectant crowd.
"Our wife and husband don’t like to drink." He said and went to prepare the food.
"Yue’er, help me wash the potatoes." Jiang Yue said and looked at Yu Nianzhen with a doting look in his eyes.
"O..." Yu Nianzhen started but a loud voice interrupted his words.
"Boss Jiang, your wife is so beautiful. How can you let her work?" Someone asked with a distressed look on his face.
"Boss Jiang, why don’t you let your wife become a celebrity?"
"If boss Jiang allows his wife to become a celebrity, can he still keep her?" Someone asked and the guests burst into laughter.
"I have heard the entertainment industry is very dirty. If the boss’s wife becomes a celebrity, boss Jiang will probably become a single dog."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue’s face turned black and his eyes narrowed in anger.
No matter what, he couldn’t tolerate how the guests talked about Yu Nianzhen.
With a fierce face, he glared at the people with ill-concealed murderous intent in his eyes.
"My wife is not like that." He retorted through gritted teeth.
"Boss Jiang, stop comforting yourself." Someone said with a trace of mockery in his eyes.
"Women can’t resist power and wealth. As soon as she meets a rich man, she will dump you."
"Women are materialistic. She won’t care about your years of marriage after meeting a second-generation young master."
"You..." Jiang Yue roared and planned to throw the knife in his hand.
However, Yu Nianzhen held his hand and smiled at him.
"Maybe your wives will leave you after meeting a rich second generation but I will accompany my husband until the day I die." Yu Nianzhen said with a firm look in his eyes.
Unfortunately, the snack shop guests were older and had seen the world.
"You two are young and have yet to see the world. When you can’t buy rice or beautiful clothes, you will understand that love is the most worthless thing in the world."
"Can love buy rice and vinegar? Can love be eaten? When you can’t pay the electricity bill or rent, what use is love? Love is a luxury that only the rich can afford."
"Before it’s too late, you two should separate. Don’t delay each other."
"Girl, beauty is a commodity and you have it in spades. There is no need to live a hard life with boss Jiang." Someone advised with a concerned look in his eyes.
"In fact, the two of you don’t have to separate. Although boss Jiang can’t become a celebrity, he can become an assistant. In this way, won’t you still be together?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yue finally couldn’t take it.
He hit his work table and glared at the gathered guests.
"Get out." He roared.
"Boss Jiang..."
"Get out right now." Jiang Yue shouted again and threw half a cucumber towards one of the guests.
"Bastard, are you trying to pick a fight?" The guest shouted as he dodged the cucumber.
"You heard my husband, get out of our shop." Yu Nianzhen was also angry.
"Tsk. You dare to chase us out?"
"Do you think this is the only snack shop on this street? There are hundreds of others just like it. We only come here to see your beautiful wife."
"What a bad temper!"
