Early in the morning, the sun was shining, and the sky was not very bright. The east market of Dong Ling City was bustling with noise and excitement.
The shops on the street opened their doors one after another, and the farmers who came to the market to sell things also occupied their places early. A basket of cloth was placed in the middle of the market and began to sell.
A few people, who looked like the stewards of a big family, swaggered around and looked at the dishes from time to time. They ordered their followers, who were pushing the wheels behind them, to weigh and collect the dishes.
Xia Yue's mother hurriedly opened the door of the tofu shop, stood at the door, looked at the street, and sighed again.
The so-called "you can't live without yourself" was probably referring to people like her.
She couldn't let go of her good days and preferred to look for food everywhere. As a result, she was inexplicably hit by a piece of super tofu and became the daughter of the owner of this tofu shop, Xia Shaohua, in some unknown time and space.
Xia alive was a widow. 18 years ago, she came here with a big belly.
There were many widows in front of the door, but Xia Shuhua opened such a shop in order to make a living. She was very beautiful. Over the years, her business had been booming, but her reputation had been ruined by the gossip of the long-tongued women.
What was worse was that Xia Shaohua actually gave birth to a son half a month ago!
How exciting would it be for a widow to have a child?
The small Dongling County was suddenly in an uproar.
Hence, a few days later, Xia Moonlight ended her life with a single piece of white silk.
By the time she was found, she was already dead. There were only Xia Yue's mother, whose head was broken, and the baby boy, who was not even one month old...
However, when Xia Yue's mother was busy with her work these days, she only heard a few words from her neighbor. She didn't have the memory of the original owner, so she didn't know what was going on.
While she was thinking, suddenly, a black shadow rushed over from the opposite side.
Xia Yue's mother suddenly came back to her senses and saw the black figure come to her and throw a hot thing at her. He hurriedly said, "Here you are." Then he ran back in a hurry.
"Hey!"
Before Xia Yue's mother could react, the black shadow had already run back. She saw clearly that it was the eldest son in the pastry shop opposite her. He was only fifteen years old this year. It seemed that he was called... Earth Root.
In the barbecue shop, the firewood under the stove was bright and warm. Only the man in a cloth gown was making the cake. The sesame cake, which had just been made, was golden and crispy, fragrant and crisp. The fragrance wafted across the street and entered into Madam Xia Yue's nose.
"Coo, coo..." Hearing the fragrance, Xia Yue's mother's stomach suddenly made a big noise. She quickly looked away and lowered her head. She was holding two hot pancakes wrapped in paper in her hand.
As a person, she had no resistance to food.
However, she just ate it when it came to her and didn't even say a word of thanks. Wasn't that too embarrassing?
Xia Yue's mother raised her head and looked at the other side, hesitating.
A fat and strong woman came out, holding a shovel in her hand and glaring at her fiercely.
The mud root hid in the back. The man who was cooking the cake was holding the dough in one hand and holding the woman's fat arm with the other, preventing her from rushing over.
Xia Yue's mother frowned.
Although she was delicious, she had a backbone.
She knew very well that she didn't have much money at home. Xia Shaohua was dead, but what she left behind was a notorious mess. Today was the first day she reopened her shop to do business, but she didn't have any money in her hands.
The bread was made of salty fat, which was not cheap at all. Each of them cost five Chinese yuan.
Therefore, she couldn't keep this cake. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to live in peace today or in the future.
Xia Yue's mother swallowed and walked over with the cake in her hand.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yue's mother's passing made the woman even more emotional.
"You're shameless. Come on, I'm old. If you don't have any food to eat, you can come out and sell it. If you sell it like an old one, I really won't talk about you anymore. At least you can see two pieces of tofu. I'm good and have better means. I just want to hook up with two hot cakes."
The woman burst into curses. If it weren't for the fact that the man had been restraining her, she might have rushed over and given Xia Yue's mother a good beating.
"I don't know what I'm going to hook up with tomorrow. Bah!"
Xia Yue's mother didn't want to make trouble for others, so she wanted to come over and return the cake. However, she didn't expect that when she came, she would be scolded by a bunch of shameless people. She was suddenly in a bad mood, and her face darkened.
The woman's words were so vicious. Not only did she destroy the dead Xia Shaohua, but she also took her with her.
Xia Yue's mother had always been pampered and spoiled. However, she had always treasured her feathers and would never allow herself to fall into a disadvantageous situation.
The woman's words were undoubtedly like a piece of shit on her head.
"Uncle, you can endure it. I don't want to endure it anymore!"
"Who are you scolding?"
Xia Yue's mother stood under the blazing sun with a cold expression. She glared at the woman like a knife.
The woman shrank her neck subconsciously and muttered in her heart.
It was not that she had never seen this little girl before. Why did she feel different when she looked at her today?
"Who were you scolding just now?" Xia Yue's mother stared at the woman and asked in a cold voice.
She knew very well that she was going to indulge this woman today. In the future, her life would not be easy.
As for her, she still had to raise that little baby, so she had to reopen the shop and take care of the business. In that case, her attitude today would definitely determine her reputation in the future.
Whether it was killing a chicken to show it to a monkey or beating a mountain to shake a tiger, she didn't want to live humbly like Xia Shaohua.
"I'll scold whoever gets it." The woman came back to her senses and felt that she had lost face. She slapped away the man's hand and shook it again. She pointed the shovel at Xia Yue's forehead and spat again. "Whoever eats my roasted cake for free will have a rotten mouth, a rotten tongue, and a rotten belly. Whoever takes it for free will have a rotten conscience."
"Nice scolding." Xia Yue's mother laughed instead.
Under the sun, the girl's beautiful smile once again shook everyone's eyes.
Earth Root had been hiding behind a man to watch out for his mother, but now his soul was shaken by her smile. He looked straight at Xia Yue's mother.
Dongling City was very small. It was as small as the small town where Xia Yue's mother lived in her previous life. Therefore, the people in the small city were already bored. The slightest disturbance was a joke that everyone had to entertain themselves with.
Now that he saw such an explosive scene, the gossip hidden in his bones came out, either watching or watching from a distance.
"Do you know who took this cake for nothing?"
Xia Yue's mother raised the cake in her hand and skillfully knocked open the woman's shovel. She pointed it at the soil roots behind the man.
"He, he took it and threw it at me for no reason. I haven't found you to check on my clothes. However, this aunt, I really admire you. I've seen so many people who come out to sell it, but it's the first time for me to see someone as self-righteous as you. You can sell it by yourself. Why did you incite your son to do this? Tiger poison doesn't eat children, your heart... Hey, tsk, you have such a mother in your later life. It's a pity that it's broken anywhere."
After that, she glanced at the mud roots coldly. With a flick of her wrist, she threw the cake onto the hot stove. After that, she arrogantly glanced at the woman's family, clapped her hands, and turned to leave.
The woman was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
She was scolded by this little b*tch!
Look, the mother and daughter of the tofu family from the West were indeed not good people. They were sharp-tongued and even cursed without dirty words. How could they curse her baby?
Thinking of this, the woman waved the shovel in her hand and rushed to Xia Yue's mother, who was about to leave.
