Chapter 16 Being Treated as a Beggar



Now, she is a little hungry.

My second uncle and eldest brother still looked excited. I guess they haven't recovered from the sight of making money just now.

The three people's hard work for a whole morning actually added up to less than one or two taels of silver.

I probably won’t be able to buy too many things, Chen Xinli calculated in her mind.

"Uncle, brother, let's go eat something first, and then go directly to the clothing store in town!

This bamboo fan is brightly colored, and the ladies and young ladies in town might like it."

Shen Fuyou: "No, no, Second Uncle is not hungry. Second Uncle will buy you some meat buns. When you finish eating, we will go to the shop together!"

Thinking that his niece had worked hard for a long time and must be hungry, Shen Fuyou replied immediately.

"Big brother isn't hungry either, let's go! Ah Li, big brother will buy you wontons!"

Shen Jinshan also spoke from the side.

Chen Xinli: These one and these two!

Guessing that the two were reluctant to spend money, Chen Xinli could only follow them silently to a wonton stall and shouted directly to the shop owner: "Three bowls of noodles!"

"Ali, Second Uncle... Gurgle... Gurgle... I'm really not hungry!"

"Yeah, gu... big brother... I'm not hungry either."

If she hadn't heard the sounds coming from their stomachs, Chen Xinli would have believed them!

"Uncle, brother, we might have to go to the county this afternoon! I can't lift that bamboo fan, how can you not eat something!"

"Then I'll just eat Jinshan. I'll go back tonight and eat the steamed buns made by your second aunt. Her steamed buns are so delicious!"

Shen Fuyou licked his cracked lips and replied.

"Uncle, if you don't want to eat, I won't eat either. Oh, I'm going to faint, big brother, please help me up!"

"Ali, are you okay?"

Shen Fuyou was shocked.

If something happened to his niece in front of him, he didn't dare to think about the scene when he returned home, for fear that he would be chased and beaten by his wife.

"I eat, I eat"!

The boss quickly brought three bowls of plain noodles.

Waves of fragrance wafted over, and Shen Fuyou swallowed saliva frantically.

Shen Jinshan was no exception. He quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the corner of his clothes, fearing that the saliva would fall into the bowl.

The uncle and nephew devoured the food in no time, even finishing the noodle soup.

Shen Jinshan was still licking the rim of the bowl eagerly, not wanting to waste anything!

Chen Xinli didn't dare to look closely at this eye-catching scene, and turned to ask the wonton stall owner:

"Auntie, do you know the ready-made clothing store in our town?"

"Little girl, the largest clothing store in our Stone Town is owned by Mr. Yang's family. The store is called Yang's Clothing Store!"

The old lady looked around and continued quietly, "The clothes in that shop are so expensive. I heard that a set costs one or two taels of silver. It's really scary."

The old lady glanced at the clothes of the three people in front of her and kindly reminded them:

"Do you want to go? That's where the rich people in town go. If you go, be careful not to get kicked out by the store owner..."

Seeing that the old lady's reminder was indeed kind, Chen Xinli didn't think that the person in front of her looked down on them, the uncle and nephew.

After finding out the direction, the three of them walked towards the clothing store.

But as soon as Chen Xinli entered the door, she was scolded:

"Go away, go away, where did you come from, you little bitch? Get out of here!"

After repeated confirmation, Chen Xinli found that the guy in front of her was indeed waving at her, and he subconsciously covered his nose, and couldn't help frowning.

Forget it, my clothes are indeed worn out, and because of the hot weather and sweating, they do give off a charming smell.

The same is true for my second uncle and eldest brother.

But these cannot be reasons to be looked down upon.

"Ali, why don't we change shops?"

Shen Fuyou stared at the rude guy and his mouth twitched.

I heard that Mr. Yang's family not only opened a clothing store, but also bought a lot of food and hired a lot of guards.

Farmers naturally have a fear of these people.

"No problem, Uncle, I have a solution!"

After Chen Xinli finished comforting her second uncle, she turned to look at the waiter and said, "I want to see your shopkeeper."

"The shopkeeper is not here."

The guy frowned and glanced at Chen Xinli again, then replied nonchalantly.

"If you delay your boss's business, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."

Chen Xinli replied calmly.

The waiter stared at the little girl for a long time. Although her clothes were ragged, she looked calm and composed, so it was difficult to tell who she was.

Then I saw that the two people behind me were indeed carrying a load, and inside was what looked like a fan, but the style was quite strange.

I had no choice but to go into the inner room and ask the shopkeeper to come out.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper came out and glanced at the three of them with contempt, as if to the clerk, or to the three of them, and said:

"What do you think our shop is? You even dared to ask me to serve beggars!!!"
