Chapter 21 - Who Is He Caring For? (1/2)

Proofread by Claire.KK

“No worries. We can buy some straw hats later so we won’t be burned by the sun. The most important thing right now is our business and peace breeds wealth.”

She had been working in the catering industry for a good long time and she knew so well that the taste of food mattered the most. If the taste was not good, no matter how big the store was or how low the price was, it would be useless since people still wanted to go for quality food.

A few moments later, Xiao Baoshan who went to fetch water came back. After realizing what was going on, Xiao Baoshan turned out to be as calm as Ye Xiaoxian and started to comfort Li Hongmei, “Ma, don’t bother to argue with them. Just concentrate on selling cold jelly and sell as much as you can.”

“Will, will it work? His cold jelly is one coin per bowl and ours is two coins per bowl.” Li Hongmei was still feeling bad as she was concerned what if there was no more business today.

They had almost gathered up the tuition fee for Xiao Baofeng with all those effort, how could he bear to see others rob their business away?

Others should feel lucky since she hadn’t snapped like a mad b.i.t.c.h who tried to protect her puppies.

But Xiao Baoshan still said in a calm tone, “They’ll end up causing themselves difficult. Ma, don’t worry. We’ll surly make enough money to cover Baofeng’s tuition fee.”

What Xiao Baoshan said was exactly what worried Li Hongmei so Li Hongmei felt eased a bit and listened to her son, putting up their stall as usual.

Xiao Baoshan then left for a short while before he came back. This time he brought back a wide black oil cloth and several bamboo poles.

Ye Xiaoxian’s eyes sparkled with surprise.

Xiao Baoshan must want to use these to build up a sun-blocking shelter for them. Many stalls used this kind of sun-block shelter in the town now.

Being such a strapping guy, Xiao Baoshan was actually a very careful person with such an attentive mind. He couldn’t bear to see them get exposed under the sun so he went to fetch this oil cloth.

Ye Xiaoxian stared at Xiao Baoshan shyly.

Xiao Baoshan glanced at Ye Xiaoxian carelessly while putting up the shelter, finding she was staring at himself so he moved his gaze away immediately.

The weather was smothering and Xiao Baoshan was drenched by sweat after working a short while. Li Hongmei pa.s.sed a handkerchief to Ye Xiaoxian and nudged her shoulder, seemingly to suggest something.

But Ye Xiaoxian didn’t quite understand the hint and thought that Li Hongmei was letting her wipe her sweat.
