"Over here~".
Xiao Lei pointed ahead, guiding the carriage to the steamed bun shop.
"Oh dear, it seems I'm too late and couldn't be of any help."
Wei Yuyan got off the carriage and saw that there weren't many people selling steamed buns, so she knew she had missed the peak time.
"Sister-in-law, you're here! You're so late, I was so busy just now."
Sister-in-law Zhang joked.
"You've worked hard. Since you don't need my help, let's go to the market. It's cold; just tie the carriage here."
There's an alley next to the steamed bun shop. If you tie it here, Aunt Zhang can see it, so you won't be afraid someone will take it away.
"Okay."
Leng Feng wolfed down the unfinished buns and quickly tied up the carriage.
"Can't you pay attention to your appearance? You look like a starving ghost."
Wu Chen grew increasingly annoyed with Leng Feng.
"Hmph, this is what Aunt Wu gave me to eat."
Leng Feng grinned smugly. He knew that Wu Chen was definitely unhappy because Wei Yuyan hadn't invited him to eat.
"I don't think there's anything else for you to do here. Your master needs you more. Go back now."
Wu Chen used his master's name to pressure him.
"No, Brother Wu, no, sir, your leg injury hasn't healed yet, how can I go back? Come slowly."
The cold wind blows here, it's practically like a vacation, no need to be worried or complete tasks.
With good food, drink, and sleep, how could he possibly bear to leave? He'd rather stay as long as possible.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Wu Chen couldn't help but smile. "Hmph, you're still too green to mess with me."
"Brother, candied hawthorn."
Qianqian couldn't resist the candied hawthorns; she hadn't had them in a long time.
"Give me four."
Wu Chen looked at the people present and took out four coins.
"Xiao Lei, give these two to your sister-in-law and eldest sister."
Wu Chen bought two extra ones for them.
"Brother, why don't you deliver it yourself?"
Xiao Lei found it strange.
"I'm afraid if I give it to her, she won't want it, so go ahead."
Wu Chen was telling the truth this time; he was afraid that Wei Yuyan wouldn't want it, afraid that Wei Yuyan would refuse.
"Sister-in-law, no, brother, you go and deliver it."
Qianqian also started to encourage them.
"Oh well".
Feeling emboldened by their words, Wu Chen slowly stepped forward.
"Yu Yan, eldest sister, I bought you candied hawthorns, here you go."
Wu Chen handed over the candied hawthorn.
"Oh, we have that too! Okay, let's be kids for once."
The older sister happily accepted it.
Wei Yuyan smiled without saying a word and accepted the candied hawthorn.
"See, I told you your sister-in-law wouldn't refuse, brother, you're just being too cautious."
Xiao Lei's seemingly simple words awakened Wu Chen. Yes, his cautiousness only made him feel constrained.
"Hey, look, brother-in-law, and Brother Lifu."
When they arrived at the entrance of the market, Wei Yuyan stopped them and didn't go forward. She just stood aside and watched them sell steamed buns.
"It looks quite professional."
Wei Yuhan nodded, somewhat satisfied with Chen Yu's performance.
"You'll gradually gain more and more experience."
Wei Yuyan nodded, then pulled her sister and turned to go to the cloth shop.
"Sister, see which one you like. I'll make a new outfit for each of you three."
Wei Yuyan let her choose for herself.
"No need, Yu Yan, the clothes I'm wearing are new. Why would I need so many clothes? It's too much trouble for you. Let's go."
Upon hearing that she was to buy clothes for herself, Wei Yuhan immediately wanted to leave the fabric store.
We've already caused enough trouble at my sister's house, how could we possibly spend so much more?
“This lake blue looks good on you, Yueyue should go for pink, and brother-in-law should go for this mud color.”
Seeing her elder sister like this, Wei Yuyan simply started choosing for herself.
"Then I'll pay for it myself; I brought the money with me."
Seeing that her younger sister had already made her choice, Wei Yuhan started taking out her purse again.
"Sister, this is Yuyan's heartfelt gift. Please accept it. Everyone will get a new dress, including Lengfeng."
Seeing the two sisters pushing each other back and forth like this, Wu Chen took the initiative to step forward and mediate.
"Yes, ours are almost done. The three of you can start now if you have enough time."
Wei Yuyan nodded. She realized she would probably have to ask Aunt Guihua and Sister-in-law Xiuhua to make the clothes. She was too slow, and her sister had to take care of the children.
After buying the fabric, the group went to a pastry shop and selected several kinds of pastries and candies.
Wei Yuyan bought one pound of each. There are many people in her family now, and the food will be stored for winter, so buying a little more won't hurt.
"Let's go home."
Seeing that there was nothing else she needed to buy, Wei Yuyan called everyone to head back.
When everyone arrived at the entrance of the steamed bun shop, they saw that a large crowd had gathered around it, and everyone was pointing and commenting.
"What's wrong, Sister-in-law Zhang?"
Wei Yuyan had a bad feeling and quickly squeezed in, where she saw an old man lying on the ground rolling around.
"I can't eat it, I can't eat it, I can't eat her steamed buns, they'll give me a stomachache."
The old man's clumsy acting made Wei Yuyan less anxious.
"Hey, I just bought ten. I don't want them anymore. Give me my money back."
"I don't want it anymore, I don't dare to eat it."
Those who had just bought steamed buns saw this situation and immediately demanded a refund.
"Sir, you've only taken one bite of this bun and your stomach is already hurting?"
Okay, okay, Lengfeng, quickly go and fetch a doctor for me. Someone here has a stomachache.
If you've bought steamed buns but are still worried, you can leave them there and see what the doctor says.
If the doctor really says his stomachache is because of our steamed buns, I'll buy one and get three times the price back.
Wei Yuyan didn't believe there was anything wrong with her own steamed buns, but this old man was full of suspicious points.
"Oh dear, I only took one bite and I'm already in so much pain. It's not because of your steamed buns, it's because of something else."
I think you're just stalling for time. By the time the doctor comes, my stomach will be completely painless.
The old man seemed to sense something was wrong, and stopped shouting, but he still wouldn't let go of their steamed buns.
"Oh, sir, if you leave now, that's fine. But if our steamed buns are okay later, then you're framing me."
"I have connections in the government; it won't be a problem for me to be locked up for two or three years."
Wu Chen squeezed in, squatted down, looked at the old man, and softly said this sentence.
"I... I'm not in pain anymore, I'm not in pain anymore, it must be a misunderstanding."
When the old man heard Wu Chen say he would be imprisoned for two or three years, he was so frightened that he quickly got up from the ground.
"Hey, you can't leave, the doctor is coming soon."
Wei Yuyan tried to grab the old man to stop him from leaving, but the old man pushed through the crowd and ran away.
"Don't worry, the cold wind will help us find him."
Wu Chen stopped Wei Yuyan, who wanted to chase after him. Chasing him wasn't the most important thing now; the most important thing was everyone's trust in Baozi.
"As you all saw, it was that old man who wanted to ruin my reputation. When he saw I was going to call a doctor, he ran away."
