Chapter 320: 106: I always listen to my wife, personally unmasking you_5
“I need to go to F Country, the specific return time is not yet fixed, but I promise to return as soon as possible, so as not to worry you.” Initially, Mo Qishen planned to visit F Country before going to Guangguan, but he canceled the trip to accompany Ni Yang to Guangguan.
Unexpectedly, after returning, he still had to take a trip to F Country.
With such an outstanding wife, he couldn’t afford to remain stationary.
He had to strive for a more brilliant future for his wife, ensuring that she wouldn’t be undermined anywhere she went!
Since he was departing for F Country tomorrow, Mo Qishen spent the whole day with Ni Yang.
It was not until past six in the evening, at Ni Yang’s insistence, that he reluctantly left the Noodle Restaurant.
After the Noodle Restaurant closed, Ni Yang took a trip to the Vegetable Market.
“Miss, would you like to buy some flowers?”
Ni Yang turned her gaze to meet a pair of lively eyes.
It was a girl of about ten years old with beautiful eyes. Regrettably, there was a deep scar on her left face that disrupted her overall beauty.
She wore a patchy flowery cotton jacket of blue and red, her hair was all over the place, and her small face was dirty. In her hand, she held a large bunch of red camellia flowers.
“Big Sister, could you buy a flower, please?” The girl timidly tugged at Ni Yang’s coat, her eyes pleading.
Before Ni Yang could react, the owner of the Braised Pork Shop came out looking stern and chased the girl away, “Scram! Off you go!”
The girl, seeing the shopkeeper, immediately took off running.
The owner of the Braised Pork Shop was well acquainted with Ni Yang and turned to her, “Yangyang, don’t be fooled by this little rascal! This child is a well-known con artist around here, pretending to be pitiful and deceiving people! Her parents are deadbeats, and she’s just like them! Not a decent one among them!”
“Don’t let her outward appearance deceive you, her family is actually quite well-off! They eat well, drink well, and still scam people everywhere!”
Hearing this, some people nearby chimed in, “Yes, yes, I’ve been duped by her as well.”
“I was also conned by her!”
This kind of scam, exploiting children, is quite common in later generations. Ni Yang listened without much thought.
After buying some vegetables, she started pushing her cart away.
At this moment, someone tugged at her coat again.
When Ni Yang looked back, it was the same girl.
“Big Sister, could you please buy a flower?”
The girl lifted up the flowers, looking at Ni Yang with a face full of longing.
Ni Yang leaned over slightly, “Where are your parents, little girl?”
Possibly aware of what people in the market had said to Ni Yang, the girl quickly explained, “Big Sister, I’m not a scammer! Today, I haven’t sold a single flower. If I go home like this, my parents will surely beat me to death. Could you please buy a flower?”
By the end of her pleas, she was sounding close to tears.
“How much is one flower?”
“One cent.”
At this time, vegetables were selling for three cents per jin (half a kilogram), yet an ordinary camellia flower was priced at one cent each. Only a fool would buy it.
The girl had sized up Ni Yang as someone kind-hearted and good-looking, so she dared to ask for a high price.
Ni Yang looked at her, and even though she knew the girl was a swindler, she couldn’t harden her heart to refuse. “Little girl, how many flowers do you have here? I’ll take them all.”
“Really?” The girl’s eyes lit up.
Ni Yang nodded.
The girl counted the flowers in her hand, then said, “Big Sister, I have exactly 21 flowers, are you really going to buy them all?”
“Yes.” Ni Yang took out two one-cent coins and handed them to the girl.
The girl hesitated for a moment, her gaze falling on the bag hanging from the cart handle, she swallowed, “Big Sister, I’ll take your two cents, but could I trade the remaining one cent for a pancake?”
Ni Yang removed the bag, “You can have all of these, and the money as well.”
“Thank you, Big Sister.” The girl took the bag, bowed towards Ni Yang, “May you have peace all your life.”
After saying this, she turned and ran off into the alley.
The fact that the girl knew to bow and give thanks indicated that she was not inherently bad. Ni Yang wondered what kind of parents she had as she watched the girl’s retreating figure, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Once the girl was back in the alley, she took out a pancake and started eating ravenously.
In less than a minute, she had finished one pancake.
Though her stomach was barely half full, she couldn’t bear to eat the remaining pancake. Looking around and seeing no one, she walked over to the edge of the alley. She took a brick from the wall and cautiously hid the pancake and a five-cent coin inside the wall. After hiding her precious stash, she carefully put the brick back in place.
