Chapter 35 The Heroine Was Ignored
Xu Niannian arrived at the textile factory gate, carrying a woven bamboo basket on her back. It took a lot of effort to put the basket down. There were a few vendors selling their own wares, mostly seasonal fruits and vegetables they couldn't finish eating, or small handicrafts. Some people also sold grains they couldn't finish eating for cash or more coarse grains.
She was wearing a gray, patched dress, her trouser legs were a lot shorter, and her shoes were almost worn out. They were even more worn than the ones she wore at school.
Looking at her outfit, Xu Niannian cursed her biased mother in her heart, but because she did it on purpose, she chose the most worn one.
The scars from the beatings on her body still ached. She gritted her teeth and decided to use the advantages of her rebirth to make a name for herself and make her parents regret their actions.
Thinking back to yesterday when she returned home and Xu Yaozu pointed at her and said he was abducted because of her, and the murderous looks her parents gave her. She was beaten to death because of it, and they even threatened to send her back to the police station, Xu Niannian was shocked and disappointed. If she hadn't said she could earn money for the family, her mother would definitely not let her go.
She took the melon seed bag out of her backpack and opened it slightly, allowing passersby to see what was inside. Then she quietly rolled up her sleeves, slightly revealing the scar on her arm. She squatted there, head lowered, waiting for someone to ask her questions.
A poor little girl selling sunflower seeds with injuries all over her body, there will always be some rich people willing to show kindness and take care of her business. After all, they like to find a sense of existence in the weak.
The most important survival skill she learned after being abducted in her previous life was to show weakness. Showing weakness could prevent being beaten, gain sympathy, and even get enough food.
As soon as she squatted down, a woman selling vegetables nearby came to ask about her situation. After learning about her miserable experience, she couldn't help but express sympathy for her, but she didn't buy her melon seeds.
After all, although her melon seeds do not require coupons and the price is reasonable, melon seeds are not a necessity. Nowadays, people are not so well-off, and those who have some money would rather buy necessities such as rice, flour, grain and oil to fill their meals first. Only those who are well-off can afford to buy snacks.
Wen Zhu, his mother, second brother, and third brother pulled a cart carrying a charcoal stove, an iron pot, some "pre-cooked" potatoes that had been blanched and then fried, as well as seasonings, tools of all sizes, and a small stool as they walked towards the entrance of the textile factory.
From a distance, a gray figure squatted there, like a wooden stake. Wen Zhu knew without even looking that it must be the heroine Xu Niannian, because the comments on the forum were full of sympathy for her.
Wen Zhu glanced at the heroine's "small business" and saw that it was indeed selling melon seeds. They must have grown them at home, roasted them, and sold them.
Xu Niannian also saw Wen Zhu and his group, and frowned slightly as she looked at what they were pulling.
She really hated this girl. Not only was she better in grades and prettier than her, she also had a loving family. Even though she had been kidnapped, she was lucky enough to escape. Now she was still going against her. She was setting up a stall just like her, and she was joining her.
She hated it in her heart, but she didn't forget her original goal, which was to have a family like hers. Since her parents couldn't change, she might as well find someone else to rely on!
Thinking this in my heart, a smile immediately appeared on my face.
"Mr. Wen, are you here to set up a stall too? What a coincidence. Me too!"
As he said this, he came over and greeted his second and third brothers and mother obediently.
"Auntie, hello brothers, my name is Xu Niannian, and I'm Wen Zhu's classmate. You can just call me Nian Nian."
Wen Zhu hadn't planned to greet her in the first place. After all, they weren't familiar with each other and had a grudge against each other. There was no need to greet her.
But he didn't expect that the heroine was so shameless. He had even called the police to arrest her. Wen Zhu didn't believe that she had no grudges at all and could greet him calmly?
Wen Zhu, the heroine who has lived two lives, doesn't believe that she doesn't know that he doesn't want to pay attention to her. If she knew, she would still deliberately approach him, which must be something she wants. As for what she wants, it is not clear at the moment, but she is definitely not holding back her fart.
Jiang Qin and her two brothers had originally felt sorry for the little girl, and when they heard that she was Wen Zhu's classmate, they thought it would be nice to get to know her. But when they heard the name, they realized it was the person who caused Wen Zhu to be kidnapped. Their faces suddenly turned cold. They ignored her without even paying any attention.
Xu Niannian was rejected by the cold shoulder, and she was so angry that her teeth were itching in her heart, but she could only pretend to be disappointed on the surface.
The vegetable seller asked her what was wrong, but she just shook her head in grievance, feeling like someone was bullying her.
Wen Zhu originally planned to set up the stall at the gate, but it looked awkward next to Xu Niannian, so they pulled the cart to the open space across the road from the factory gate and unloaded the items and set them out.
The stove was set up, the iron pot was placed on the table, and everyone worked quickly and in an orderly manner.
Some passersby saw Xu Niannian, a thin little girl with injuries, and couldn't help but go over to take a look. They felt sorry for her and planned to buy some of her melon seeds.
As a result, before I even bought anything, I smelled a strange fragrance coming from the wind, which made me subconsciously look for the source of the smell.
Seeing that the workers were about to get off work at noon, Jiang Qin quickly fried some potatoes and added seasonings. As the oil was heated, the aroma of the ingredients and spices wafted out immediately, arousing the sour taste buds and making people's mouths water.
The passerby immediately turned around and walked towards Wen Zhu's stall to ask, his daughter had no appetite recently and couldn't eat. When he smelled this, he was immediately tempted, "What is this? It smells so good! Is it expensive? If not, I'll buy some for my daughter."
"30 cents a portion, no ticket needed, savory, spicy, and guaranteed to be delicious!"
The passerby thought it was 30 cents, which was not cheap, as it could buy a bowl of noodles. But since it didn't require a ticket and the food smelled good, he decided to buy one to try.
"Then give me one!"
"Do you want chili peppers, chopped green onions, and cilantro?"
"No chili, but everything else!" The man watched Jiang Qin fry the potatoes and start mixing the ingredients, and swallowed unconsciously.
Wen Zhu immediately picked up a bamboo stick and said, "Try it first. It's free."
The man took a sip and his taste buds were immediately conquered. He swallowed it in a few gulps, and the delicious taste lingered in his mouth.
He gave a thumbs-up and said to the people around him who were still watching, "I've never tasted potatoes this flavorful before. They're delicious! Girl, give me two servings. I'm afraid one isn't enough."
"Okay!" Wen Zhu smiled brightly and responded loudly.
"You're our first customer since we opened our stall. We'll give you a dime off the second portion, so it'll be fifty cents total! But if it tastes good, you have to help us spread the word!"
When the man heard this good thing, he agreed immediately.
People from far away heard that it was very lively here and the aroma was tempting, so they came to join in the fun.
As soon as the workers went out, they smelled a strange fragrance from afar, which made them salivate.
I saw someone selling ready-made food at the door, so I immediately went to join in the fun.
People are like this, they gather where there are many people. They would rather wait in line for half an hour than even look at a stall that has no one interested.
After all, if there are many people, it means the food is delicious!
Ever since her first customer was lured away by Wen Zhu and the others, Xu Niannian's melon seeds have been sold out. She was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
