Chapter 220
"What kind of person would climb up to the rooftop to watch the sunrise so early in the morning, knowing there were two vulnerable children crying below? Is there no other rooftop to climb on, no matter how much you want to? Speak!"
Boss Shen asked indignantly, but he didn't give Madam Wang and the others a chance to speak. Instead, he continued to clap his hands angrily.
"Tell me about you two, the father and the mother, can you please be more attentive and reliable? This child is your own choice, not someone who was forced to have you have by Old Shen and Old Tian next door..."
She kept on spitting and babbling for about a quarter of an hour, and then she said,
"Do you know you're wrong?" After finishing it, he looked back with satisfaction. Why was there only Lao Tian behind him?
Boss Shen looked at Tian Bajiao and asked, "Where are they?"
"Let's take the child back to the house." Tian Bajiao said with a yawn.
Boss Shen pointed at himself in disbelief: "They went back to the house, what about us?"
Tian Bajiao spread his hands and said, "I was kicked out. Madam Wang said you were really mean and she doesn't want to talk to you anymore. She also said you are ungrateful and forgot how she was there for you when your parents died, how she took care of you when you were sick, and how she risked her life to fight alongside you a while ago. She even said she wants to raise a dog just to bite you, a heartless person."
Boss Shen asked in confusion, "When did she say that? How come I didn't know?"
Tian Bajiao said: "She went back to the room and spoke quietly, not wanting to disturb the children. She also said that you are heartless. You knew there were two fragile children in the room, but you cried and shouted so loudly. You are really a piece of shit. You are a godmother, but you are not caring and reliable at all.
She's busy coaxing the kids and doesn't have time to argue with you. She said she'll scold you later when she has some free time."
"Scold me? She's going to scold me again?!"
Boss Shen is really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
Tian Bajiao continued, "Boss, it's understandable that she scolded you. I also felt that... you were being quite unkind. You said that someone did so much for you, and you were not happy with them just looking after your child for two days. How unkind of you."
Boss Shen: "Hey? Aren't you unhappy too?"
"It's understandable that I'm unhappy. We're not very familiar with each other." Tian Bajiao said righteously.
Boss Shen: ...Am I familiar with it?
Boss Shen was really angry, Madam Wang was really angry, and Madam Liu, who had her aloe vera pulled out, was also angry.
Then Tian Bajiao was surprised to find that the street seemed to have become quiet for a long time and she could even hear the birds singing.
Customers who come to the shop also have the mind to quietly enjoy the fragrance and no longer have to listen to the gossip of other people's families.
This feeling was really special, but it didn't last long. They started quarreling again by picking on each other.
Tian Bajiao didn't really understand their relationship, but she knew that these three people could be said to be friends. Even though they couldn't bring any benefits to each other and often made things difficult for each other, everyone enjoyed it...
This is almost impossible in Tian Bajiao's life.
If this person is of no use, why should she associate with him?
At most, when we meet, we can talk. If we don’t meet, that’s fine. But it’s absolutely impossible to want to be together every day.
But it seems... this is normal.
Tian Bajiao thought that she should also make some friends, just like she did in Nanmao.
However, it can't be a child. It has to be someone of similar status and age to her. Xing'er... definitely can't do that. There are many embroidery workshops, but they are busy every day. Then the market...
Tian Bajiao and Boss Shen took turns cooking. She went to the market to sell vegetables every other day. There were many girls of her age at the market. Tian Bajiao liked Li Sanniang from Hu's Butcher Shop the most. Every time she cut the meat, she gave a generous amount. If she could become friends with her, she might be able to eat more meat.
Tian Bajiao gave up the idea halfway through. Mrs. Li San was too busy, and she didn't want to take advantage of her friends.
Another candidate was a fruit seller. Her father and brother set up a small stall, and she sometimes helped to look after the stall, but such times were not many, so Tian Bajiao didn't need to meet her often.
She doesn't talk much, so she's not annoying.
She always smiles, so she must be a contented person. Tian Bajiao doesn't need to help her solve any problems. The only problem is... she is getting married.
The person she married wasn't from this town.
The girl came to the shop happily to pick out spices and wanted to embroider two purses, one for her fiancé.
Although Tian Bajiao was smiling, he was not very happy in his heart. He could not help but ask a few more questions: "When will the good news come? If the spices are left for a long time and not stored properly, the fragrance will fade. You must choose a day close to the season to buy them."
"I know, it's okay. He doesn't like strong fragrances, he prefers light ones. Besides... we are getting married this month, and the date is in six or seven days. If we don't get ready, it will be too late." Her face turned red, as if she had applied a thin layer of rouge.
Tian Bajiao's heart sank: "What's my role then? She's leaving soon, how can she be my friend?"
"So that's how it is. The young lady is really thoughtful. The gentleman will surely be happy to receive it. If you want a light fragrance, why not take a look at these? They are all prepared well. I'll open them and let the young lady smell them."
Maybe it was because her family sold fruits and she was used to the fragrance of fruits, so when she picked fruits this time, she didn't like those with floral scents very much. Instead, she was very interested in things like lychee shells, tangerine peels, and pine cones.
Finally I bought some called October Warm Fragrance, which smelled like it fell into an orange basket, but it faded with the wind.
She liked it very much and said as soon as she smelled it, "This is good, the fruit thief will definitely like it!"
These words came out of my mouth.
Tian Bajiao caught on to the question and asked, "Fruit thief?"
"ah……"
Mei'er finally realized what she had said and her face turned even redder.
Tian Bajiao: "This fruit thief... is he the girl's fiancé?"
"Ah, he's not really a thief. I misunderstood."
Mei'er doesn't like to talk much, but if she doesn't explain it clearly now, she doesn't know what will happen. So she told Tian Bajiao.
"He was a stranger from Zhuozhou City. He ran away from home to do business without telling his family. Who knew that he was cheated of all his money? Thirsty and hungry, he ran into our garden and stole a few sour oranges. My brother chased him for a long way. He ate them while running, shouting that they were so sour. My brother has a quick temper and was so angry that he thought he was another fruit vendor who came to cause trouble, so he caught him and hung him on a fruit tree. He thought we wanted to burn him to death, so he cried and shouted that we should write a letter to his parents to ask for a ransom, and advised us not to kill so rashly, saying that he was very valuable..."
