How much?
How much?
How much?
Bai Nuo watched as Huang Yanfen's big mouth opened and closed, her thick lips glistening with oil, and spittle spraying out as she spoke.
Bai Nuo felt both angry and disgusted!
"What? You're not convinced?!" Huang Yanfen was especially happy to see Bai Nuo angry. The little brat, she talked nonsense and got beaten up by Bai Dajiang.
Now that she's got her chance, she's going to teach Bai Nuo a lesson. Trying to make money by selling things? She's got no chance! A fool, a worthless bastard with no father and no mother, he should just go begging!
Want to live a good life?
Want to be someone superior to others?
Pooh!
They don't deserve it!
"Everyone come and see! Everyone come and come!" Huang Yanfen suddenly shouted to the people on the street, waving her hands. The street was bustling with people, and people would go wherever she shouted. As soon as she shouted, everyone looked at her spot.
"Everything here is poisonous, don't buy it! If you miss, then come and buy it!" Huang Yanfen shouted even louder as she pointed at Bai Nuo's stall, seeing that there were many people.
She shouted while glancing at Bai Nuo, her eyes gleaming with smugness. She wanted to see what this fool would do!
"It's poisonous?"
"I knew it! We've always eaten steamed buns and mantou (steamed bread), when have we ever eaten something that's neither a steamed bun nor a mantou?"
Upon hearing Huang Yanfen's words, everyone began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"No, none of the food here is poisonous. I just ate some!" When Ah Yu saw people pointing and whispering around him, he immediately became anxious and came out to argue loudly.
"Bai Yu, I'm not trying to be mean, but there's a limit to how much you can lie. Look at what you have here, does anyone want it? It must be poisonous, otherwise why wouldn't anyone want it?" Huang Yanfen sneered, appealing to the crowd for support, "Don't you all agree?"
"We just arrived, there's no one here yet!" A-Yu pursed his lips tightly, loudly defending himself and his sister, "I can eat it to show you!"
"You're going to eat it?" Huang Yanfen laughed. "You've marked everything here. If you're going to eat it, you'll definitely eat the one that's not poisonous, but the ones you sell are poisonous."
"Huang Yanfen, are you ever going to stop?" Bai Nuo was furious and pushed Huang Yanfen away. "I was stupid for a while, but I'm not stupid all the time. I'm selling poisonous things on the street and I'm standing here arguing with you. Am I waiting for someone to arrest me or for the government to lock me up?"
Facing the pointing and whispering onlookers, Bai Nuo loudly proclaimed, "Fellow neighbors, what I'm selling here is a kind of snack, sesame balls, which are edible just like steamed buns and mantou. To prove that what I sell here is not poisonous, we can have you taste it on the spot. You can point to any one of them and I'll eat it. I absolutely do not fake it."
Huang Yanfen was about to speak when Bai Yu shoved her towards the crowd and yelled, "Huang Yanfen, that's enough! You bullied us in the village, and you're still bullying us here!"
"Ah Yu, you don't know why, do you? She was having an affair with Old Wang next door before, and I saw it. I couldn't bear to see Uncle Dajiang suffer like that, so I told him, and that's why she holds a grudge against us," Bai Nuo replied to Ah Yu with a smile.
Ah Yu quickly chimed in, "Sister, didn't Mom say that once you have Dad, you can't have relationships with other people? Didn't Mom tell us that we can only love one person in our lives? Why is she loving other people even though she has Uncle Dajiang?"
“That’s what you call being a womanizer!” Bai Nuo said quietly.
"You're talking nonsense!" It would have been better if this matter hadn't been brought up, because as soon as it was mentioned, Huang Yanfen remembered how Bai Dajiang had dealt with her, and all of this was because of Bai Nuo. Her fat body immediately rushed towards Bai Nuo.
Bai Yu and Bai Nuo quickly stood together, the two children holding Huang Yanfen back with all their might, neither daring to relax, for if they relaxed, they would either be beaten or their business would be destroyed.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Jiang Qiao'er also came out at this time. Despite her young age, her voice was loud. As soon as she saw this, she put her hands on her hips and shouted, "What are you fighting here for? Do you want me to do business? Are you all dead? Can't you help? Look, a fat woman is beating up two children!"
Most of the people in town had bought cloth from San Niang's Cloth Shop, so they knew Jiang Qiao'er. As soon as Jiang Qiao'er spoke, several men went to pull Huang Yanfen away, saying, "Forget it, she's just a child, don't bother with her."
"You too, why are you saying that other people's food is poisonous? I just saw the child eat it, and no one came to buy it at that time. If it were poisonous, why would anyone eat it?" An old lady couldn't stand it anymore and came out to say a few words for Bai Nuo and the others.
"Didn't you hear what they said? They said I cheated on my man!" Huang Yanfen's hair hung loosely behind her head, with a strand of hair that had been combed up falling in front of her forehead. She was being held by the hands and couldn't struggle. Her eyes were wide open, her nostrils flared, and she looked like she was about to devour Bai Nuo.
No one dared to respond to her question. They wouldn't even know if she had cheated on her man.
"If you hadn't said our stuff was poisonous, would I have said those things to you?" Bai Nuo didn't want to ruin Huang Yanfen's reputation in public; that would be too malicious. So she offered a brief explanation. "Now you know how unpleasant it feels to be talked about like that?"
Several reasonable people realized that this made sense, so they didn't hold it against Bai Nuo and said, "Little girl, didn't you just try some? Hurry up and have one! If you like it, we'll buy them all!"
"Okay, I'll feed you now!" Bai Nuo nudged Bai Yu, who snapped out of his daze, picked up a sesame ball, and took a bite. His expression looked incredibly sweet and delicious, as if he were eating some rare delicacy.
"I want one!" Seeing him eat it, the others believed that the food Bai Nuo had was not poisonous, and their stomachs immediately started growling.
"I want one too."
Happiness came too suddenly, and Bai Yu couldn't believe it. Looking at the hand in front of him, he stammered as he recommended his family's products, "Sesame balls are five coins each, and I also have sweet soup, which is also five coins a bowl. But if you want both, I'll give you a two-coin discount."
No one was holding Huang Yanfen, and Huang Yanfen was freed. Bai Nuo's stall suddenly became crowded, so she ended up at the back. Bai Nuo saw her and wanted to go over and say a few words to clear up any misunderstandings, but there were too many people, and she didn't have time to say anything.
