Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands Chapter 218 - 0216: Isn’t it easy to conceive a child? Givin

Miss Chai wore a mature woman’s hairstyle, with a large plum blossom gold hairpin on her head shining brightly under the sun.

The material of her clothes was very exquisite silk fabric.

The maid beside her was also dressed elegantly.

At first glance, she looked like a wealthy young madam.

"Sorry, I’ve been feeling nauseous when I sll strange scents lately." Miss Chai gently touched her belly, which showed no signs of swelling, and raised her eyebrows at Miss Chai, "Third sister, haven’t seen you in a while, are you doing alright?"

Miss Chai turned pale looking at her belly, "I’m fine, there’s no need for second sister to worry."

Miss Chai glanced at the Li Family siblings and smiled, "Oh, third sister, you live elsewhere and not at ho, what’s going on with you? If soone bullies you, I won’t be able to help you."

Though she spoke concerned words, her expression didn’t show any care, and she managed to make a dig at the Li Family people.

Li Yuzhu’s eyes slightly narrowed, staring at Miss Chai.

The Second Young Master had an even more unfriendly look.

Even the honest Liu Si Niu and Second Princess had cold expressions.

The Great Princess was arrogant and disliked anyone more arrogant than her.

She imdiately sneered, "I say, madam, which eye of yours saw us bullying E Ying? Daring to accuse us falsely, believe it or not, I’ll report you to the governnt office!"

Miss Chai’s face turned green with anger.

She pointed afar at the Great Princess, angrily saying to Miss Chai, "What kind of people are you associating with? How uncultured!"

The Great Princess was even angrier, "You’re the one who’s uncultured, your whole family is uncultured! Let tell you, when us sisters were born, there were six nannies teaching us manners! How many nannies have taught you manners? You dare teach ?"

Li Yuzhu slightly smiled, "Miss Chai only has one nanny and one maid beside her, big sister, she’s just putting on airs in the countryside, once she steps out, she’s nothing; the maids in the capital’s Prince Mansion know better manners than her."

The Great Princess laughed boisterously, "Yes, yes, yes, third sister speaks very correctly."

Miss Chai grinded her teeth and laughed angrily, "Six nannies teaching you manners? Oh , I’ll die laughing, then where are your nannies now? Did they teach you to sell pastries and sachets on the street?"

"We sell if we like, how does it concern you?" The Great Princess sneered, waving her hand, "This is my family’s shop, we don’t do business with you, off you go!"

Miss Chai’s face turned dark with fury, "Oh wow, you dare tell to go away? You, you..., uncultured!"

The Great Princess put her hands on her hips, "I said it, you going to hit ?"

"You..." Miss Chai looked left and right, realizing only one maid was with her, while six people were arguing with her!

Even that stubborn girl Chai Eying stood with the Li Family people!

A wise man doesn’t suffer imdiate losses, Miss Chai coldly laughed, "Dare say for to leave? We’ll see!"

"Let’s see, who’s afraid of whom!" The Great Princess sneered.

When the Great Princess first ca to the countryside of Zhen An Prefecture, she was afraid, confused, always feeling there were dangers everywhere.

But after a few months, the Great Princess found that the world outside the capital wasn’t so frightening either.

Village people were far more genuine and straightforward compared to Beijing people.

Beijing people harm others secretly, outwardly smiling, secretly sharpening knives.

While in the village, who was a villain or a good person was laid bare on their face.

Hence, her stubborn nature that refused to suffer losses quickly returned to its original state.

She dared to argue with unreasonable Liu Da Niu’s mother-in-law, and dared to quarrel with Miss Chai.

Today, Miss Chai didn’t gain any advantage, coldly glared at Li Yuzhu and the Great Princess, and stord off with her maid.

"That’s just how my second sister’s temper is, why trouble yourselves for to offend her?" Miss Chai apologetically looked at everyone.

"I’m not afraid of her." The Great Princess snorted coldly.

"It’s alright, E Ying, don’t worry about us." Li Yuzhu smiled.

"If she really dares to do sothing to you, go and find my big brother at the Chai Family, even though second father is in charge at ho now, second father won’t dare to underestimate my big brother." Miss Chai continued.

"We’re not easily scared, you don’t need to be worried." The Great Princess dismissed the concern.

Miss Chai frowned though.

...

As the days approached the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather beca hotter, leading to a decline in the pastry business.

The Second Princess began to worry.

Everyone comforted her, saying business shouldn’t be judged day by day but looked at over months and years.

The Second Princess sighed, "Initially, we had nearly a thousand coins worth of business every day, but in the past few days it’s directly halved." She looked at the bright sunlight outside the shop, "If it cos to the dog days of sumr, won’t this lead to closing shop?"

Li Yuzhu said, "Second sister, pastries are dry fruit snacks, eating them when it’s hot makes one thirsty, so fewer people buy them. There is a daily demand for food in the world, apart from staple food and salt, all other foods have seasonal highs and lows."

"..."

"No one is interested in cold drinks in winter. When it rains, waterlons also sell poorly, yet the old farrs still plant and sell them every year. Ice vendors target only those few months of the year to sell their chilled drinks."

The Second Young Master chuckled, "Umbrella sellers hate sunny days, while straw hat sellers hate rainy days. Second Sister, you’re just like them now."

"Exactly, how can you judge a business by a single day? You have to look long-term," the Great Princess also remarked.

Miss Chai said, "My elder brother opened an incense and candle shop in the county. Business only picks up during holidays when families buy incense to worship ancestors, but there’s little business otherwise. Sotis, not even a single sale in a day."

Everyone offered comforting words, which made the Second Princess feel a bit better.

Considering it carefully, she realized, they were right. What business is booming every day? Every business has its highs and lows.

"Let’s head ho early today then, the day’s hot, let’s go back and rest early." The Second Princess had been worn out from working continuously for over twenty days.

The Second Young Master tapped the Second Princess’s forehead, "The sun is blazing outside, you’ll get roasted like jerky heading back at noon. Let’s leave in the afternoon and have lunch at the market, rest a bit before heading back."

The Great Princess was busy attending to custors buying sachets, "I might be late, I’m busy here."

The Second Princess envied the Great Princess’s busy business, "Alright, we’ll stick to the usual ti for going ho."

The Great Princess’s business also ca in waves, with crowds buying sachets or Li Yuzhu’s realgar dicine bags during the busy morning hours.

But at noon, with the intense heat, the streets were deserted.

Miss Chai suggested having lunch first.

Everyone was hungry, and they all agreed.

The shop couldn’t close until the last custor left, and the Second Young Master followed the usual routine, planning to order food from a tavern or noodle shop.

Miss Chai laughed, "I know which place has delicious dishes here, let go order."

This ti again, she was offering to pay. Li Yuzhu spoke up, "I’ll go."

Miss Chai laughed, "Then let’s go together."

The others remained in the shop resting, while Li Yuzhu and Miss Chai went to place the food order.

As they reached a row of shops selling fruits, they saw Miss Chai arguing with soone.

Li Yuzhu said, "E Ying, is your second sister still on the street, hasn’t she gone ho yet?"

Miss Chai squinted, "How did she start arguing with Liu Da Niu?"

Li Yuzhu said, "Let’s go and see."

When they got closer and investigated, they found the argunt was about pregnancy nausea.

Liu Da Niu was also pregnant and had been suffering from severe nausea lately. She wanted sothing sour to relieve it, so she ca to a stall selling green plums to buy so.

Just then, Miss Chai arrived.

Miss Chai picked up a plum, slled it, and began to gag.

Liu Da Niu glanced at her and also began gagging.

Miss Chai accused Liu Da Niu of copying her.

Of course, Liu Da Niu wouldn’t admit to copying Miss Chai, and began to argue back.

Miss Chai, flaunting her wealth, would not allow a poor village woman to speak against her, imdiately started to reprimand Liu Da Niu.

"You dare copy ? Do you even know who I am?" Miss Chai shouted, raising her hand to slap Liu Da Niu’s face.

Seeing the hand about to strike, Li Yuzhu swiftly intervened, capturing Miss Chai’s wrist.

She sneered, "Miss Chai, what do you an she’s copying you? She’s legitimately pregnant and occasionally feels like gagging, what’s wrong with that? Just because you’re pregnant with nausea, doesn’t an others can’t be? You call others uncultured, but I think you’re the one lacking upbringing!"

"Exactly, these plums sold out so quickly today because eight pregnant won ca to buy them for relieving nausea. None of them accused others of not being able to buy or have pregnancy nausea," said the stall auntie unhappily, eyeing Miss Chai.

"Oh, isn’t this the young madam of the Luo Family? None of the wives from the Luo Family have ever bullied people before. Why is the new young madam so temperantal?" Soone recognized Miss Chai and chuckled.

"She’s proud of giving the Luo Family an heir!"

"Back then, she berated her sister for not being able to bear children, and stole her man. Now that she’s expecting, she’s showing off!" The person said, gesturing towards a pale-faced Miss Chai standing behind Li Yuzhu.

"Having a baby isn’t difficult, delivering it is the real skill!"

"Hope she’s not stuffing a pillow under her clothes pretending to be pregnant."

"Ha ha ha—"

Back then, those who witnessed Miss Chai’s wedding snatching laughed out loud.

People stood up for Miss Chai, who had lost her parents, got seriously ill, and was on the brink of death.

Li Yuzhu squinted for a mont, reached out to feel Miss Chai’s pulse, and soon she felt a wave of awe inside.
