“Alright, honey, we shouldn’t let these upset incidents cloud my mood; we’re on a vacation today—don’t forget that!”

Suri Drew, hand in hand with Yigol Novak, wore a sweet smile.

Irene Hamer raised her hand to tap her nose lightly, her voice soft and gentle.

“You’re right. We’re out to enjoy ourselves and shouldn’t let bad people upset us.”

One has to admit the wife he chose was not only beautiful but also incredible at understanding others’ needs.

He wondered, how many lifetimes of good luck had he gathered to find such a wonderful wife?

If passersby saw them, they thought the couple was indeed a feast for the eyes.

What’s more, they both seemed rational and reasonable people.

Living life the way they did, was in itself a blessing.

Sauntering around, every few steps revealed a new stall selling various knick-knacks.

All the items seemed to be handmade and were rather captivating.

Some could serve as hairpins, others were decorative items.

“Oh my god, these are too beautiful! Did you make them yourselves?”

Upon seeing these items, Suri stopped in her tracks, stepped forward, and enthusiastically asked the question.

The elderly ladies seemed quite old with white hair and slightly slurred speech.

When asked this question, they nodded gently, with honest smiles across their faces.

“Yes, young lady, we made these all ourselves. If you find something you like, feel free to buy it.”

Seeing her interest, Yigol also joined her in choosing some things.

“Who would’ve thought there’d be such intricate handicrafts here? Displaying them at home would be a real treat to the eyes.” As Suri made her choices, she voiced her thoughts.

Yigol nodded continuously and added.

“Yes, indeed. There are many such things made by these elderly women, and all priced very reasonably, just to earn a little extra.”

Not everyone was like them.

Some tried to sell their wares at tourist spots charging exorbitant prices, selling at tenfold the original price of the items.

The elderly ladies were much simpler; they priced their things very reasonably.

Indeed, Suri became more interested in their work because of their simplicity.

“My goodness, everything at each stand is remarkable, and the craftsmanship is incredible.”

Although she wasn’t an expert in these things, her own eyes could tell how beautifully aesthetically pleasing they were. “If you like it, then just buy it, I will pay for it!” Yigol waved his hand, and said quite impressively. “Alright then, I won’t hold back.”

Suri grinned and began to pick out items earnestly.

However, despite spending a considerable time choosing, she couldn’t settle on any particular item.

Not because she couldn’t find anything she liked, but because she simply liked everything.

Just as she was engrossed in the picking, some commotion seemed to be happening not too far off.

Before she could process what was happening, the stall owners began hastily packing their stalls with a bit of panic.

Then, attempting to form clear sentences in their slurry voices, they spoke.

“We’re not allowed to have stalls here, so we have to leave. See you again if fate brings us together, young lady!”

“Wait, wait, I haven’t even bought anything.”

When they looked towards the direction of the commotion, they discovered a city management officer marching towards them with a loudspeaker.

The younger vendors nearby scattered immediately, packing up their stalls as quickly as possible and running away.

As if they had wings on their feet.

However, the elderly women were not as agile and thus could only pack at their own slow pace.

And as a result, they were nabbed by the city management officer before they could get away.

“I have said this place is not for selling stuff. Why are you still selling? Hurry up and pay the fine!”

The old women’s faces promptly dropped, they were at a loss, having no alternative but to plead.

“These are just small businesses that we depend on and we haven’t sold anything yet. We can’t pay the fine—it’s too much for us.”

“Yes, we genuinely can’t afford it. Please, just let us go.”

“Please, have mercy. We are all old. How about letting us sell these things first, then we will pay the fine?”

“Yes, we haven’t sold anything yet; we don’t have any money.”

These old women looked pitiful.

Even then, they did not often shirk their responsibility and kept assuring that they would pay the fine after they had sold their things.

The city management officer, however, did not heed their plight and carried on with his actions.

He shook his head, and promptly ordered his men to surround the ladies.

“If you don’t pay today, I’ll take you all to the police bureau!”

How ruthless the city management officer was without any regard for the advanced age of these old women.

And from their humble attire and worn-out shoes, it was evident that they came from poor households.

Why else would they be selling these things if not for poverty?

Unfortunately, they were not agile enough to escape as fast as the young vendors.

Unable to watch the scene unfold, Suri stepped forward to speak with the officers.

“These old ladies are all elderly, you might as well let them off for now.” However, the city management officer remained unmoved.

He glanced at Suri nonchalantly and ordered a man with a stick to shoo her away.

“I am just enforcing the law, why are you interfering?”

Feeling helpless, Suri made another proposition.

“Well then, I will pay their fines on their behalf and buy the stuff they are selling. Will this work?”

After saying this, Suri quickly signaled to Yigol and quickly took out a wad of cash to hand it over.

If there’s one thing he never lacked, it was money.

If a problem could be solved with money, it was not a problem.

Once the city management officer got the money, he finally smiled and spoke again.

“Isn’t it better to have done this from the start? But hey, as far as I know, you’re not related to them, why help?”

“Ah, forget it, I can’t be bothered with figuring it out. Just leave quickly.” After saying this, he turned around and joyfully started counting the money.

The old women were very thankful for this.

“Thank you so much! We really have nothing to repay you with, so we will just give you these things as a token of our appreciation..”
