Lan Yamei scoffed. So that's what this older sister thought of her; she'd better show off her skills. Then, she snapped the wonton bowl in two with a crisp "crack," and, shaking the broken bowl, confidently declared, "Are you afraid of them? No matter how many come, I'll beat them all! From now on, you'll be following me, and you'll only be the one bullying others!"
"Really?" Aunt Guan looked at the bowl broken in two and asked with bright eyes. This was a side of the little boss that no one knew. Amazing! He's even brought out his potential when he was hungry.
"How about I have another one!" Lan Yamei reached out to take Aunt Guan's empty wonton bowl and performed another one.

I'll take it to sell tomorrow and get a few taels of silver to use."
“You take it. You manage the money at home. I’ll just focus on earning money. Tomorrow we’ll go to town to buy a carriage. Pulling a carriage is really tiring; my shoulders are all chafed raw.” Lan Ya Mei didn’t care who managed the money because the original owner trusted Aunt Guan very much.
"Alright, having a carriage will make things much easier for us. Let's get some sleep and head into town first thing tomorrow morning."
