Chapter 34: Chapter 33, She Doesn’t Dare Hit You

Shen Mei heard this and said angrily, “Sister, I’m thinking of you out of kindness. Why are you scolding a six-year-old child?”

Shen Lingxue was held in Shen Mei’s hand and was looking at Ji Yuanyuan with a sinister expression.

Ji Yuanyuan revealed an innocent smile, and Shen Lingxue’s face turned red from anger.

“Don’t call me Sister? Do you think it is in ancient times? Then shouldn’t you toast me with a cup of mistress tea?”

Shen Mei felt humiliated, and her eyes immediately turned red, “Sister, aren’t you ashamed to say this? When did I…”

Li Xu sneered and looked at Shen Mei’s stomach, speaking bluntly, “I’ve been divorced for less than three months. Your stomach should be at least three months, right?”

Three months’ stomach could not be seen yet. Li Xu was just casually saying it.

Anyway, Shen Mei could not open her stomach to let everyone have a look.

Shen Mei did not expect that this Li Xu had become so eloquent. She gritted her teeth. But after a moment, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression became smug.

“Sister, speaking of which, I have some good news to share with you. It was finally Jianguo’s unit’s turn to get a welfare home. He only paid 10,000 yuan and got a big residence with three rooms. Our family of three lives nearby. Sister, did you rent a house nearby? Or did you come from the countryside every day?”

Ji Zixuan frowned. He could naturally hear the sarcasm and show-off in Shen Mei’s words.

He said coldly, “We bought a house, it’s a big three rooms residence, but it’s more expensive than yours.”

Shen Mei thought he was just bragging, “The houses here aren’t cheap. Where did you get the money? Zixuan, it’s not good to learn to lie at such a young age.”

Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang rolled his eyes angrily, “Believe it or not, our house is much better than yours.”

“Our house is good, yours is a broken house,” Shen Lingxue said angrily. Then, she bent down and took a tomato from Li Xu’s box and threw it at Ji Zi’ang.

Fortunately, Ji Zi’ang dodged it quickly. Otherwise, if the tomato had hit his head, he would have seen stars.

The tomato fell to the ground and rolled far away.

Li Xu quickly pulled Ji Zi’ang over and asked worriedly, “How is it? Are you okay?”

Ji Zi’ang shook his head.

Seeing this, the surrounding people deliberately spoke up for Li Xu, “Why is this child so rude?”

“She is too petty. She didn’t say anything, but actually hit someone.”

“Hmph, this child is too arrogant. She can’t stand that other people’s things are better than hers.”

When Shen Lingxue heard these words, she naturally knew that they were scolding her. Feeling wronged, she threw herself into Shen Mei’s arms.

Ji Yuanyuan walked with his short legs and picked up the tomato.

Standing in front of the stall, Ji Yuanyuan raised the tomato that was smashed by Shen Lingxue, “Mistress Auntie, the tomato was smashed by Little Sister. You are so rich, you will definitely compensate my Mommy, right?”

Shen Mei was already angry. These people actually dared to talk about her precious daughter.

Now that she heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, she was instantly furious. She said angrily, “Do you have any manners? Who taught you to say that?”

“I’m sorry, I heard the neighbor call you that. I thought you are called Mistress Auntie…” Ji Yuanyuan pretended to be afraid and hid behind the Auntie next door.

The Auntie next door was fat, it felt very safe. She covered Ji Yuanyuan tightly.

“You did something shameless. Why did you scare a child?” The Auntie next door was very speechless as she spoke to Shen Mei.

She turned to Ji Yuanyuan and smiled kindly, “With Auntie Liang around, she wouldn’t dare hit you.”

Ji Yuanyuan nodded, thinking that Auntie Liang was a righteous person.

Shen Mei gritted her teeth and looked at Li Xu, after a moment, she forced a smile, “Forget it, I won’t argue with her about child’s words. Jianguo feels that his monthly salary of 600 Yuan is too little. In addition, he has already gotten the house. He wants to resign after the New Year, we just happen to have some money saved up. He wants to venture to the south.”

When she said this, Shen Mei’s expression was very proud.

Ji Yuanyuan sighed in her heart.

If Ji Jianguo had this idea a few years ago, he might have really made a name for himself.

Unfortunately, in the financial crisis of 1997, many people went bankrupt.

In her previous life, Ji Jianguo was lucky enough to avoid the financial crisis, which allowed him to expand his business.

In this life, without Ji Yuanyuan’s luck, Ji Jianguo actually happened to meet this hurdle.

However, Ji Yuanyuan didn’t intend to remind them.

Just treat it as a lesson for them and let Shen Mei be complacent for the time being.

Shen Mei thought that after she said all this, Li Xu might be angry or envious.

There should be some expression on her face.

But to her disappointment, Li Xu’s expression was very calm.

She even still greeted the customers.

Shen Mei was so angry that she couldn’t say a word.

She left with Shen Lingxue.

After Shen Mei left, the big sister next to her came over, “Sister, so it’s not easy for you either.”

Initially, Li Xu’s business was good. In addition to her beauty, she had already cleaned up her appearance. When she spoke, it felt different from theirs, she was gentle. People like them would more or less be jealous.

However, they did not expect Li Xu to be so beautiful, but her husband would cheat on her.

Li Xu smiled, “What’s the big deal? I still have three children. It will only be tough for the next few years. When the children grow up, I will enjoy life with them.”

When she heard Li Xu’s words, Sister Liang’s face revealed an expression of admiration, “You’re right to think that way. How can a man be more important than your own children? If he likes to eat Sh*t, then let him eat it. You just have to take care of the three children with peace of mind.”

Li Xu wanted to say something else, but the other customers could not wait any longer.

Li Xu could only fill the vegetables for the customers first.

There were many people on the weekend, and Li Xu’s vegetables were all sold out before half-past eight.

Sister Liang helped her look after the stall while she brought the three children home to pick up the vegetables again.

Ji Zixuan looked at Li Xu, who was sweating from exhaustion, and said with some heartache, “Mom, when you earn money, buy a bicycle.”

With a bicycle, it would be much easier to carry it over on a bicycle.

Li Xu had also been thinking about this matter recently. A new bicycle would cost around 300 yuan.

She was reluctant to buy it, not to mention that the new bicycle was too eye-catching. This neighborhood was so close to the market. With so many people coming and going, it was inevitable that she would be targeted.

If it was stolen, her heart would ache.

So, Li Xu thought that when she was free, she would ask Xiao Yong¹ to bring her to the second-hand market.

It would be enough to buy a bicycle that was 70-80% new.

Her budget was within 50 yuan.

As she was thinking, Ji Zi’ang suddenly asked, “Mommy, where did our family get so many vegetables?”

Recently, there had been so many vegetables at home, but no one came to deliver them.

Li Xu could only lie, “An old classmate of Mom’s has a big shed at home. Every day, he comes to deliver dishes to other big restaurants, so he saves some for me.”
