Chapter 51 Not Meaningless
The old man was very angry.
What's wrong with setting up a stall? Others set up stalls to make money, but he only loses money, but he still enjoys it.
He was spending his money, setting up his stall, and was happy, but why did someone come over for no apparent reason and look down on him, including him?
Who did he offend?
Hua Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at the people from Xianlai Sect, and then looked at the old man, "Who are you? I'm not talking to you!"
"I am your uncle!"
The old man rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and started to rant, "I can tell from the first glance that you are not a decent woman. After all this time, even your shop was obtained through fraud, and you cheated the Xianlai Sect. Pah, you are really not a good person!"
"That's right. She did something wrong, but no one came to her to find her, but she comes here to show off. She's so shameless. Ugh!" The lady next to the old man looked at Hua Yan with contempt and rolled her eyes.
"That's right. We are doing a good job with our stall. How can it bother you? We are all doing business honestly. What's the problem? Do you think you are more noble than us just because you open a shop?" Another stall owner also sneered.
Hua Yan's words directly angered everyone. No one could bear it and started to retort one after another, making her blush and feel guilty. She was angry and anxious and couldn't find a chance to talk back.
"…Why do you look down on us vendors and stand here blocking our way? Are you deliberately trying to keep us from doing business?!"
"That's it. Either you spend money to buy something, or you get out of here if you don't."
If they were all running shops, no one would refute Hua Yan's words. It would be better to have less trouble than more. They would just watch the show.
But she was saying this next to these stalls. These stalls were mobile, and some people came today and left tomorrow, so they were not afraid of her at all!
So the stall owners united as one and started pointing fingers at Hua Yan.
Hua Yan has been living a very comfortable life since taking over this shop. She does not feel any guilt at all. Instead, she is very pleased with her own intelligence and talent.
After becoming a shopkeeper, people tended to be polite when speaking to her, and even if they were dissatisfied, they would not point it out to her face.
This was the first time she was scolded by so many people!
【Hahaha, that’s a great scold! 】
[She was so angry that she almost fainted, haha, so satisfying! ]
If Mo Jiuwei hadn't been unable to control her hands, she would have wanted to applaud.
"You... I won't fight with you!" Hua Yan glared at Chen Lan and the others fiercely, "Anyway, I'm waiting for the time when you from the Xianlai Sect are desperate and come to beg me for help!"
After saying that, he left quickly and rushed into the Jingrong Grocery Store, which seemed like he was escaping in a hurry.
"Beg her? Where does she get the confidence from!"
Ji Qingqing was so angry that she laughed.
Even if the people of Xianlai Sect starved to death, they would never turn back and beg Hua Yan for charity.
"Don't pay any attention to her."
Chen Lan said this, and then bowed to the stall owners nearby and thanked them, "Thank you all for your help and support."
"No need to thank me. She has already said that to our faces. Can we still indulge her?" The old man next to him waved his hand. "Besides, you are from the Xianlai Sect. She is in the wrong in this matter."
Chen Lan and Ji Qingqing were stunned, "You guys..."
"Your Xianlai Sect has been in Ziye City for tens of thousands of years. We have seen your style of doing things all along, and we have also heard about your decline in recent years." The lady next to the uncle spoke up, "You are all decent people, and we all know that those who betray you are naturally not good people."
"Yes, I've heard about it too. When you were in the most difficult time, someone came to your door and offered to buy poison from you, but you didn't sell it to him. You are indeed a rare group of decent people with the style of a great sect!" A young male stall owner also nodded.
"Yes, during the coldest months ago, you were starving and had no clothes to wear, yet you picked up an abandoned baby girl and went around buying milk for her... Many people have heard about this." A woman looked at them with admiration, her eyes flickered to Mo Jiuwei, and she sighed, "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to do this."
Chen Lan held Mo Jiuwei's hands tightly, and Ji Qingqing's nose felt sore and she almost burst into tears.
What these people said is true.
No one knows a sect's style of operation better than the citizens of the surrounding city.
The Xianlai Sect had experienced internal strife and disintegration. The most difficult period could not be hidden from people. Many people had seen it with their own eyes or heard about it. If anyone from the Xianlai Sect had done anything unjust, they would definitely know it.
When it comes to buying poison, someone comes to your door and asks for a certain kind of poison that is specifically used to harm people with vicious means, and the price they offer is not cheap.
But when everyone heard about it, they all refused.
That poison is too damaging to one's virtue, so even though they have it, they will never sell it!
The man was probably very angry after being rejected. After leaving Xianlai Sect, he complained about this matter everywhere, cursing Xianlai Sect for being inflexible and saying that this day was his own fault.
Maybe some people laugh at them for being stubborn, but in fact more people will admire them even more after hearing them.
This means: The poorer you are, the more determined you become, and you will never lose your ambition!
"Ah, I remember you..." Ji Qingqing looked at the lady next to the old man and suddenly thought of something, "When I went out to buy deer milk once, you gave me some bird eggs and a few fruits!"
The old lady smiled and said, "It's just a little thing. You are kind-hearted, so why can't I have it?"
A sturdy man on the other side of the road also waved his hand, "And me, I once placed a piece of velvet in your Xianlai Sect. My wife asked me to give it to you!"
Ji gently covered his mouth, nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help sobbing.
She knew that the piece of velvet cloth appeared inexplicably inside the door. They used it to make a small velvet hat for Mo Jiuwei. Although it was not made of precious material, it was comfortable and soft, very suitable for babies.
Chen Lan also thanked everyone with red eyes.
Mo Jiuwei listened and was also filled with sighs and somewhat moved.
Although the world is difficult, there is always some warmth existing silently. That little bit of warmth may seem inconspicuous, but it is very comforting when you think back on it.
"We, the Xianlai Sect, have already gone through the most difficult times. During this time, we have also received silent help from many kind-hearted people. Thank you all for your kindness. We will remain true to our original aspirations and stick to the right path in the future." Chen Lan sniffed and promised, "You can always trust our Xianlai Sect!"
These people's words made her realize that although their journey was difficult, it was definitely not meaningless.
