Translator: 549690339
Ni Yang closed her stall really early today; it was just half past ten, and the noodles were already sold out.
In contrast, Zhu Yonghong not only had not sold half of her buns, but also had a lot of custors coming to question, “Why aren’t today’s buns as delicious as yesterday’s?”
While Zhu Yonghong explained with a smile on her face, she was cursing in her heart, thinking, what a bunch of disgusting poor n, having the audacity to ask why the buns, sold six for a cent, were not as tasty as yesterday’s!
Are they brainless?
Can they eat pork with a cent? Don’t they calculate how much pork costs per pound!
As for what kind of at was in today’s buns, perhaps only Zhu Yonghong knew best.
Many custors expressed that they would never eat Zhu Yonghong’s buns again, and so even brought back buns for refunds.
Custors are not fools. When pork was replaced with sothing else, anyone could taste the difference.
Damn Ni Yang, the little bitch!
If not for Ni Yang stealing her business, she would not have stooped to such a level!
Now look at the ss! Not only did she not make up for the losses from yesterday, but she also lost more money. Iler brother’s living expenses were still pending, and her mother definitely wouldn’t let her off…
The more Zhu Yonghong thought about it, the angrier she beca, so angry she wanted to tear Ni Yang apart.
She walked up to Ni Yang, lifted her chin high, biting her lip, and her eyes seed poisoned. The fire of jealousy was about to burn Ni Yang to ashes, and she grinded her teeth and said, “Ni Yang! You are sothing else!”
Upon hearing this, Ni Yang turned around and looked at Zhu Yonghong, giving a faint smile, speak in a calm tone, “Hmm… 1 know I’m excellent, thanks for the complint.”
“You!” Zhu Yonghong seed to have punched cotton, so exasperated she couldn’t speak, pointing at Ni Yang, “You…you…”
Seeing this, Ni Yang’s smile grew bigger. She took two steps forward, speaking with a sage-like tone, “Anger harms the liver, you’re still so young, why hurt your own body? You’re not young anymore, stop doing things that are not aboveboard. You should know, the gods are watching over your head.”
As she said the last sentence, Ni Yang took another two steps forward, looking down at Zhu Yonghong with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Iler gaze at Zhu Yonghong was like looking at a clown.
“You…you…” Zhu Yonghong was like a mute eating coptis root, having trouble speaking.
She can’t possibly admit to her jealousy of Ni Yang, that she had switched the pork in the buns with other at, resulting in a failed sneaky move that benefitted Ni Yang!
Ni Yang couldn’t be bothered to say anything more to Zhu Yonghong, she turned around, pushed her bike and walked away.
Zhu Yonghong looked at Ni Yang’s back, her fists clenched tightly.
Wait and see, you bitch!
She would not swallow this bitter pill just like that!

Ni Yang took a round at the Vegetable Market, bought so ingredients, and then rode her bike ho.
It rained last night. The way back to the village was muddy and tough to walk. Plus, Ni Yang had a cart full of stuff with her, making the journey even harder.
Under the circumstances, Ni Yang had no choice but to stop riding the bike and push it forward instead.
At this mont, a group of children ca running from afar.
“It’s Sister Ni Yang, that’s Sister Ni Yang.”
“It’s Sister Ni Yang.”
The children started to cheer.
The cheering startled Ni Yang, when did she beca so popular among the villagers?
Beyond a child nad Goudan, she didn’t seem familiar with the other kids.
But Goudan went to school today.
What are these kids up to?
Before Ni Yang could react, the children sward her, “Sister Ni Yang, we’ve co to help you.”
So of them helped Ni Yang carry things, and so helped her push the cart.
The saying ‘there is strength in numbers’ held true as the cart was quickly pushed out of the mire.
Ni Yang didn’t even have ti to thank them before the children scattered again.
Looking at the well-parked cart and then at the children who had already run off, Ni Yang called out, “Kids, thank you. Whenever you get the chance, co over to my house to play!”
Upon hearing her, one of the slightly older children turned around and smiled, “No problem, Sister Ni Yang!” As soon as he finished speaking, he skipped away to catch up with his friends.
The village children were like that – innocent, kind, and grateful.
Ni Yang cast a soft smile at the retreating figures of the children.
She thought to herself that she must find so ti to express her gratitude to these children and let them know that God does not shortchange the kind-hearted.

anwhile…
Wang ifeng was boiling traditional dicine in the kitchen.
Just then, the living room door was pushed open, followed by footsteps and Yang Guobao’s voice calling “Grandma”.
Typically, Zhou Suhua would respond warmly to Yang Guobao, but today was different. Zhou Suhua remained silent.
“Grandma.” Yang Guobao followed Zhou Suhua to the kitchen.
Zhou Suhua wore a dark expression on her face, as if a storm was brewing.
“Mom?” Wang ifeng poured the boiled soup into a bowl and looked at Zhou Suhua with a perplexed expression.
With a serious look on her face, Zhou Suhua said, “1 need to talk to you.” Once she finished, she turned and walked toward the bedroom.
“Okay.” Wang ifeng left the soup on the stove and followed Zhou Suhua into the bedroom.
“Mom, what do you need?” Wang ifeng looked at Zhou Suhua’s back, asking the question.
“I went to see Doctor Wang today.” Zhou Suhua turned around, her face devoid of any expression. She then asked, “Why did you lie to us?”
Wang ifeng’s eyes flashed, “Mom, 1 don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Zhou Suhua sternly said, “That dicine can’t cure Guobao’s illness at all! Comrade Wang ifeng, what are you trying to do!”
Wang ifeng exhaled, “1 wanted to try, Guobao also wanted to try.”
“Try?” Zhou Suhua’s face was flushed with anger, “Do you know you’re hurting Guobao by doing this? You’re aware of what happened with Hudie! Stop giving him that dicine imdiately, don’t let him take those unidentified drugs again!”
Zhou Suhua was worried about her grandson’s health. After consulting Doctor Wang, she found out that the dicine Ni Yang gave had no effect on Yang Guobao’s condition, and only had a small nourishing effect.
All dicines have side-effects, especially those that need to be taken for three months. Yang Guobao was still a child, how could his small body withstand that? Wang ifeng wasn’t helping him; she was harming him.
“I am Guobao’s mother. I hope more than anyone that Guobao can enjoy a free and happy childhood like other children. Mom, I take your advice on everything, but not this.”
Wang ifeng was firm in her decision. Plus, she couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but since Yang Guobao started drinking the dicine, his energy seed to have improved. Although he had only been drinking it for five short days, he hadn’t had a single episode during this ti.
As a daughter-in-law, Wang ifeng had never opposed Zhou Suhua. Now Zhou Suhua was furious, her whole body shaking. She said sternly:
“Wang ifeng, you received a higher education. How could you be so foolish! Doctor Wang is a descendant of a royal doctor.. Ni Yang you ntioned is nothing more than an unlicensed rural doctor, yet you would rather trust her than Doctor Wang! You are playing with Guobao’s life! From today, stop feeding my grandson this dicine!”
