Chapter 56 - : The Chosen One

“I say, what’s the matter with you kids? He was kind enough to remind you that the price is too high, yet you’re still glaring at him! I think, with your price, you definitely won’t be able to sell it. Looking at your clothes, you must be from the surrounding villages! Do you really think that you can sell whatever you make? What a joke! Old woman, I think you should take your random stuff home and feed it to the pigs today! Hehehe…” The old woman who was selling embroidery on the other side sneered.

She sold her own embroidered shoes and handkerchiefs. She was bored at home and liked to come out and chat with everyone. She was not the kind of person who lacked money.

“You, you’re the one who can’t sell them! You, don’t talk nonsense!” Gu Xin was about to cry.

If they couldn’t sell them, her father wouldn’t be able to pay back the money he owed. People would even come and bully them.

“Hey, you little child, you have no manners at all. How could a little girl shout at people on the street! Seriously, the things made by such a family are definitely not delicious! You uneducated girl, you’ll never get married in the future.” The old woman had never been yelled at by a child before. She was angry. She had been sitting, but now she stood up and put her hands on her waist. Her words were a little harsh.

“You…” Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian wanted to scold her back, but the old woman was shocked when she said the word ‘you’.

“Ouch, my waist, ouch, my waist, ouch…” The old woman’s hands on her waist relaxed. She dragged her own waist and shouted.

“Granny Feng, you got up too quickly and dodged your waist! Hahahahaha, damn, who told you to be so foul-mouthed? You’re talking about a little girl.” The old man selling vases across the street laughed happily.

“You old fart, aiyo, I, aiyo…” Granny Feng said ‘aiyo’ many times.

“Mother, Mother, what’s wrong?” At this time, a woman came out of the red bean shop and asked anxiously.

“Hurry up and help me back! You idiot! Aiyo, aiyo…” Granny Feng was still in the mood to curse.

Granny Feng was helped back. Not long after, a waiter came out from the red bean shop to tidy up Granny Feng’s things.

The Gu family finally understood. This Granny Feng was the biological mother of the owner of the red bean shop. No wonder she was so mean when she saw them selling pastries!

Gu Nian took a deep look at Gu Xin. Just now, that ‘crazy woman’ had meant that her Xin Xin had been ill-bred and that she couldn’t get married!

Just like her first aunt. She had given birth prematurely after scolding Xin Xin.

And that Zhang Pipi from before had wanted to harm Xin Xin, but had ended up being chased and bitten by wild dogs.

So, her Xin Xin was blessed by the heavens!

Her Xin Xin was indeed the Chosen One!

“I say, what are you all standing around for? What kind of pastry is this? Thirty-five yuan a piece? Can I try it first? At such an expensive price, you should at least let someone try to see if it’s worth the price!” The old man selling bottles slowly walked over with his hands behind his back.

“Uncle, of course you can try it. I was just about to cut it!” Cai Xiaolian picked up a knife and cut the small piece she had picked out into the size of a finger.

Gu Nian took out the bamboo stick she had prepared and handed it to the old man.

The old man nodded in satisfaction. He took the bamboo stick and forked a piece before eating it.

The rest of the Gu family were relatively calm. Only Gu Xin looked nervously at the old man and the other hawkers who were close to the street..
