After Yang Dali returned, he kept a low profile. Yang Youneng was still hospitalized, and Yang Wanwan enjoyed several peaceful days.
Selling vegetables, going to school.
That day, she was surprised to find that there was an extra person sitting next to her.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xu Yao.
Xu Yao was one of the people who followed her to the Lin family in her previous life and was instructed by the Lin family to help drown her.
At this time, Xu Yao was seventeen years old.
She was already very beautiful, with delicate features, a tall figure, slender limbs, and fair skin; she was already very well-developed.
Having been a ghost for many years, Yang Wanwan's hatred for Xu Yao had dissipated in the boredom of life.
If it weren't for seeing her, Yang Wanwan wouldn't have even remembered Xu Yao.
But this doesn't mean she will treat Xu Yao the same way she treats other classmates.
So, in response to Xu Yao's enthusiastic greeting, Yang Wanwan simply nodded and then sat down on the stool without saying a word, going about her own business.
Xu Yao's father is named Xu Yanguo. He lives not far from Yang Wanwan's house, separated by several field ridges and a pond.
Xu Yao's mother was a sent-down youth in the countryside years ago and married Xu Yanguo. Later, her mother returned to the city and divorced Xu Yanguo. Only after the divorce did she discover that she was pregnant with Xu Yao. After giving birth to Xu Yao, she sent her back to Xu Yanguo.
Xu Yao grew up with her grandparents.
Xu Yanguo remarried. His grandparents passed away. Xu Yanguo and his wife took their newborn child to work in another city, while Xu Yao lived with her aunt for a long time.
I don't know why, but I recently transferred back to another school.
During the ten-minute break between classes, Xu Yao tried to talk to Yang Wanwan several times, but Yang Wanwan pretended not to hear her and did her homework or went to the toilet as if nothing was wrong.
Yang Wanwan couldn't be a polite child like everyone else.
You either like it or you don't.
To dislike someone and then pretend to be indifferent is self-torture.
When Yang Wanwan walked out of the classroom after school in the afternoon, Xu Yao called out to her, "Yang Wanwan!"
Yang Wanwan kept walking. Although she could remain calm, she couldn't forget Xu Yao's狰狞 face and arrogant laughter before she died. Although the Lin family was the mastermind, Xu Yao was also culpable.
If Xu Yao hadn't been greedy, how could she have been willing to be the Lin family's lackey?
She didn't want to pay any attention to Xu Yao.
Xu Yao caught up with her, "Yang Wanwan, what a coincidence, we're actually in the same class."
Yang Wanwan didn't say anything.
"I heard you and your sister are doing really well selling cold dishes. How about I take you along to sell them too?"
Yang Wanwan then glanced at Xu Yao.
Xu Yao certainly didn't think Yang Wanwan would agree; only a fool would.
Xu Yao thought that Yang Wanwan was having trouble refusing her outright. Many girls in the countryside are like that; they don't know how to refuse and are too sensitive about saving face.
"Don't worry, I'm older than all of you. If I lead you to sell vegetables, it will definitely be better than you girls selling vegetables on your own. I won't let anyone bully you."
Yang Wanwan remained silent.
"How about that? I was the most thoughtful one! It's settled then, tomorrow is Saturday, the market day, I'll be waiting for you on the street. I have some things to do at home, so I'll head back now."
After saying that, Xu Yao waved and left with a smile.
The next day, Yang Wanwan, along with Er Ye and Shang Tao, brought braised meat, fish, shrimp, and cold dishes to the street early in the morning. As soon as they had set everything up in an orderly manner, Xu Yao arrived.
She wore a blue and white polka-dot dress, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, radiating youthful energy.
This is different from Yang Wanwan deliberately making herself and her younger siblings look ugly.
Yang Wanwan styled her hair and Er Ye's hair into the kind of short, ear-length style that was popular in the 1960s and 70s, with bangs that almost covered their eyebrows, making them look even older.
Even middle-aged women find this hairstyle unattractive, so it's a pity that Er Ye obediently listened to Yang Wanwan and grew it out.
Xu Yao, acting like the hostess, called out, "Hey, what are you all standing there for? Come on, call out to me! Come on, come on, fresh braised meat, cold dishes, dried shrimp, and fresh shrimp! Come and see, have a taste!"
Yang Wanwan had already told Er Ye and Shang Tao about Xu Yao last night. Er Ye and Shang Tao were naturally annoyed by Xu Yao's interference. They were doing their business well, what business was it of Xu Yao's?
Er Ye and Shang Tao continued their usual sales practices, doing whatever they were doing, completely ignoring Xu Yao.
When someone came to buy something, Xu Yao wanted to get the scale, but Er Ye raised her hand, twisted her body to avoid Xu Yao, and then used tongs to put the vegetables into a plastic bag and weighed them herself.
Xu Yao's hand fell into the air, but she wasn't embarrassed at all. She just smiled and continued to call out.
When it came time to collect the money, Xu Yao was about to take the customer's money, but Shang Tao interrupted her, saying, "She's not buying groceries, give me the money."
Then I took the money.
Someone chuckled in confusion, "Isn't she your older sister? How come you're the one managing the money in your family, you little one? You're quite capable, aren't you!"
Shang Tao laughed and said, "She's not my sister. Why would my sister steal my money? What kind of sister would do that? Don't you think so?"
Xu Yao said to Yang Wanwan, "Yang Wanwan, look at your Shang Tao. He's so young, but he's so quick-witted."
Yang Wanwan chuckled: "He's telling the truth."
Shang Tao dares to be sarcastic, and he even knows how to be tactful when he does it, which Yang Wanwan thinks is great.
Xu Yao wasn't embarrassed at all, and said with a grin, "Look how well I've been hawking my wares! So many people have come to buy vegetables. If everyone were as quiet as you, how would anyone know what you're selling? Don't you think so?"
Shang Tao said quickly, "We don't usually do much advertising, but all the vegetables still sell out. So what do you say?"
Xu Yao said shamelessly, "That's because you were lucky! Luck can't be good every day, so you all benefited from my luck today."
Yang Wanwan didn't argue with her; she wanted to see what Xu Yao was planning to do next.
Er Ye interjected in a flat voice, "Xu Yao, you are too capable for our small temple to contain such a great bodhisattva. You should find another place so as not to bury your talent."
Xu Yao was taken aback.
Shang Tao, however, burst into laughter without any regard for his image. This was a line from a recent popular martial arts drama, and it was quite fitting for Second Sister to borrow it.
Xu Yao said, "I just thought it was interesting and fun to see you guys selling vegetables. Just don't think I'm being nosy."
Erye said, "I dare not complain, but I have no choice. My business is small and can't afford to be damaged. I hope you will be lenient and let it go. I would be very grateful."
Shang Tao couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
Xu Yao paused for a moment and said, "Yang Wanwan, Er Ye is really naughty. Did she learn all this from TV dramas? In my opinion, you should discipline her. Watching too many TV dramas is not good."
