Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 42 - Deceiving People

Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Deceiving People

“Eh.”

Xuexue, quick-handed and sharp-eyed, swiftly extended a spoon outwards, smiling brightly as she spoke, “Auntie, if you want to eat more after tasting, you’ll have to pay with silver.”

“Little girl, let your auntie taste another one.” It’s a woman’s nature to seize a little advantage, unchanged by any means.

“So, if Auntie tastes another one, will you buy it then?” Xuexue, with a smile that made her extremely pleasing to look at, made it impossible to get angry.

“I’ll buy, I’ll buy.” The Auntie, chuckling, tasted another one, smacking her lips: “Mm, really delicious. Little girl, give your Auntie a serving, I haven’t even had breakfast yet.”

Thinking that two wen of money was not much, the Auntie cheerfully ordered a serving.

...

“Alright!”

Xuexue served her a portion, handed it over, and said with a beaming smile, “Auntie, since you are the first customer, I’m giving you an extra large serving. Soon, you won’t be able to get this amount for just two wen of money.”

Hearing this, the Auntie laughed even more joyously, fished out two wen of money from her pocket, handed it to Xuexue, and happily went back to her own stall to eat river snails.

“Mother, here you go.” Without skipping a beat, Xuexue handed the two copper coins to Madam Xie.

Madam Xie was beyond delighted, surprised that earning copper coins was so easy – she had barely sat down, her seat not even warm yet, and the money had already come knocking.

“Xuexue, your grandmother will definitely be happy to see this money,” Madam Xie said, joyously looking at the two copper coins in her hand.

About to shout out their goods for sale, Xuexue slightly stiffened upon hearing this, turned her head, and asked, “Mother, you aren’t really thinking about giving all the money to that nasty old hag, are you? She beats and scolds you every day.”

“Xuexue.” Madam Xie scolded sternly, her expression turning serious, “Do not speak of your grandmother that way; no matter what, she is your elder.”

“Mother, don’t be upset, I won’t say it anymore.” Seeing her adoptive mother upset, Xuexue quickly complied.

“It’s not your grandmother’s fault, it’s all because your mother’s womb was weak, unable to give your father a son,” Madam Xie said, her face darkening at the mention.

“Mother, don’t be like that. You have us sisters, and that’s enough. In the future, we will make sure you live a good life.”

“Yes, as long as you are obedient and behave, Mother doesn’t mind the hardships,” she replied.

“Then let’s start selling quickly, or else it’ll get dark and we won’t be able to return home. Chuner is still waiting for us.”

“How should we sell? Isn’t it enough just to sit here?” Turning her head, Madam Xie, seeing others simply sitting and waiting for customers, curiously asked.

“Hey! If we don’t call out, how will others know we have good things to sell? Mother, you sit; I’ll handle it.”

Having said that, Xuexue took a small bowl, filled it with some river snails and clams, stood by the roadside, and began shouting loudly, “Delicious river snails for sale! Taste before you buy, don’t miss out on a free taste, everyone, come quickly!”

An old man at the market laughed upon hearing this: “Little girl, are you mad with poverty, daring to sell such things, it’s absolutely hilarious!”

“I am poor! Otherwise, who would willingly get up early in the freezing cold and walk several Shichen Chinese Time here to sell stuff?” Xuexue replied seriously, blinking her watery eyes.

“Even if you’re poor, you shouldn’t deceive people with these things!” the old man said, shaking his head, disapprovingly.

“I conduct my business honestly, how is it deceiving anyone?” Xuexue retorted, displeased, grabbing the old man’s arm, insisting that he clarify his statement before she would let him go.

“Xuexue, what are you doing? Let the Master go right now.” Seeing more and more people gathering around her stall to watch the scene, Madam Xie, who had never seen such a spectacle, became somewhat flustered.
