Chapter 274 I've finally found you
...
...
"Since we have a friendship, I'll invite you upstairs for some dim sum today."
Er Ya ran into Yu An and Cai Lei as soon as she went out today.
The two had already left her maternal grandparents' house; they had come to say goodbye.
Cai Lei smiled and said, "Second niece, I don't like sweet and greasy pastries, but my mother loves them. Could I take some with me for her?"
Er Ya scoffed, "Who's your second niece? Don't go around claiming relatives. I don't know my mother has any relatives like you."
Er Ya looked Cai Lei up and down and said, "You've taken so much business knowledge from me, shouldn't you call me master?"
“I’m not related to your mother, but I’m related to your maternal grandmother. So, by that logic, I’m related to both you and your mother. Therefore, we should each be considered separately.”
Cai Lei is shameless.
He discovered that scholars were too concerned about their reputation, which sometimes led to them being bullied, so he decided to be shameless.
My mood has improved ever since I realized I was shameless.
"Alright, hurry up and come upstairs with me. If you want to take it with you, I'll make it for you before we leave," Er Ya clicked her tongue.
She's quite generous now.
She turned to look at Yu An, who seemed to be staring at her, and asked, "Young Master Yu, would you like some too?"
Yu An's ears burned instantly, "Yes, but wouldn't that be too tiring for you?"
"The rest of the steps are done by others. I just need to adjust the proportions and bake it. It's not that tiring."
Er Ya looked at Yu An curiously. Was it really that hot? Why did he look like he was so hot?
"Then I'll have to trouble you. I... didn't bring any money with me when I came." Yu An didn't dare to look Er Ya in the eye.
He had already heard what she said, but she didn't react at all.
"It's no trouble at all. You're too kind. We've known each other for so long, and I'm just offering you a snack, and you're still complaining."
Yu An's ears were burning; was he annoyed with her?
The shop wasn't far from here, so Er Ya led the two of them directly there.
"The second manager is back."
Manager Chen greeted Er Ya upon seeing her.
Er Ya nodded and said, "Uncle Chen, thank you for your hard work."
My mother said that we should show appropriate care for the people under our command.
"Second Miss, there's nothing to be tired about. I'm actually quite happy."
Manager Chen originally thought that the inn might not sell well after being converted into a pastry shop, since there were many well-established pastry shops in the city. However, he did not expect that business would be so good on the first day of opening. In the following days, the pastries were almost sold out by the afternoon.
Manager Chen originally suggested making more, but Er Ya refused.
If we made more, there might be leftovers. This is just right, and those who arrive late and miss out will still be thinking about it the next day.
It has a bit of a scarcity marketing element to it, which is something Er Ya learned from Ye Wan.
The three of them had just entered the flower-themed pastry shop.
A woman suddenly rushed out, her eyes red as she looked at Er Ya.
"Daughter, my poor child, what are you doing here? My God, I've finally found you after all these years!"
Er Ya was stunned.
Even Yu An and Cai Lei, who were standing next to them, stopped in their tracks.
Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?
Er Ya looked at the woman, who was slightly overweight and had lead powder on her face, and felt somewhat puzzled.
“I didn’t mistake you for someone else. You are my daughter, and I am your mother. You’ve been missing for so many years, and I never thought I would finally find you. My child…”
The woman then reached out to pull Er Ya away.
"Hey, who are you? I don't know you! Don't pull me, let go right now!"
Er Ya dodged away immediately, watching the man warily.
Ever since Er Ya was slapped by the flower seller, she's gotten smarter.
He doesn't seem like a good person for no reason.
“I am your biological mother. I have been looking for you for so many years. Come on, come home with us now.”
The woman wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, which only made them redder. Tears streamed down her face, and she could barely hold them in. She then pulled Er Ya back to her side.
Er Ya's temper flared up instantly, and she blurted out, "Where did this shameless person come from? My mother is perfectly fine at home, how could it be you! If you're going to acknowledge your relatives, at least make sure you know who you are. You say I'm your mother, then show me the proof! What part of you looks like me? Don't you even know to take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"
"Get these two troublemakers out of here! Where did these lunatics come from? Do you think I don't recognize my own parents?"
Manager Chen immediately came over with a large broom. This person must be here to cause trouble.
The woman wiped away her tears, her eyes almost closing. "Hey, listen to me, I didn't mean anything by it. We had no choice back then. Now that we know you're living a wealthy life, we're content."
"Get him out! Get him out of here right now! This guy is obviously a liar!"
"If you're already satisfied, then don't bother coming here. You're just here to scam people and take advantage of them!"
Er Ya personally took a broom and chased people away.
An elderly woman buying groceries nearby chimed in, "Hey young lady, she's looking for her own child. Even if it wasn't you, there's no need to be so fierce. A girl this fierce will never get married!"
"You're so kind, how do you know they're not scammers? I think you're in cahoots with them. I'll report you to the authorities later and have you all arrested and put to the test in court."
Upon hearing that the matter was to be reported to the authorities, the woman feigned concern by saying a few touching words and then left.
The onlookers all fell silent; no one spoke up for them.
"Do you really think I'm stupid? I can't tell at a glance!"
Er Ya pouted.
Cai Lei couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "My second niece is really amazing. I was just thinking of helping out, but it turns out there was no way we could use our skills at all."
"Of course, I'm top-notch."
Er Ya said as she walked upstairs.
Cai Lei patted his good friend on the shoulder sympathetically, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling frustrated and like you have no place to use your talents?"
Yu An pursed her lips and remained silent.
He really... seems to be of no use at all.
The woman who had just run out of the house finally stopped in a secluded spot, panting heavily. She threw away the handkerchief in her hand and began wiping her eyes with her clothes.
The more she wiped, the more tears streamed down her face, and she sneezed several times.
"What are you doing here?!"
The woman was startled when she suddenly heard someone speaking, but when she turned around, it was her husband, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
The man was startled when he saw him look up. "Gong, what's wrong with you looking like that?"
Gong was already overweight, and she couldn't stand walking more than a few steps. Now her eyes were swollen like they had been stung by bees, which was quite frightening.
"I went to meet my relatives, and I saw that little bitch today!"
"Didn't you say that little bitch looks exactly like Chu Chu? She doesn't look alike at all!"
Gong put chili powder on her handkerchief, but accidentally put on too much, which is why it turned out like this.
"You didn't see that little slut. No wonder she comes from a filthy place. Her cursing is so eloquent, I can hardly keep up!"
The man's expression changed upon hearing this. "You've mistaken me for someone else. This isn't him. This looks like the second son."
"Huh? Why didn't you say so sooner?"
