Chapter 106 I'm not that shameless, Hai Bugui is just me.
Lin Chang'er recognized the young woman; she was Zhou San's wife, who had come to help with the work last night. The person carrying the child must be her husband and child.
Lin Chang'er was just about to place a savory pancake on the cutting board when she heard the little goldfish call out, "Mother!"—she wondered if the fish had come to see her for something.
He responded and smiled at Third Sister-in-law Zhou, "Third Sister-in-law and Third Brother brought Xiaobao to the market? Have you had breakfast yet?"
This is the first time I've made this pancake today. You guys just happened to come along, so you have to taste it for me and see if it's okay. Also, here's the batter we made ourselves.
"Little goldfish, fetch two bowls of soy milk for Uncle and Aunt."
Little Goldfish responded with an "okay" and skillfully poured two bowls of soy sauce and placed them on the empty table. Lin Chang'er also cut a plate of savory pancakes and took care of Zhou Mu and his wife. "There aren't many people here yet, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, hurry up and sit down. Once more people arrive, there won't be any seats left."
“This…” Zhou San’s sister-in-law hesitated, “Sister-in-law, we, we didn’t come to the market, nor did we come for breakfast, we came to find you…”
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Nothing is more important than filling our stomachs. Let's eat first, it's on me. We can talk about it later."
As she spoke, she looked at the little baby nestled in Zhou Mu's arms, who was sucking on his lips and staring at the steaming soy milk on the table with bright eyes.
Lin Chang'er teased, "Look, look, Xiao Bao is hungry. Let's eat something first!"
Sister-in-law Gu chimed in, "We've walked such a long way, even after breakfast we must be hungry. Let's eat something first!"
Unable to refuse the warm hospitality of Zhou Mu and his wife, they finally sat down.
Lin Chang'er cut another plate of pancakes for the little goldfish, "Take these over to your Uncle Gun'er and Granny Bai to try. Come back and have some soup after you've sold the seafood. I'm saving some for you."
The little goldfish chirped, then added, "Uncle Li and Fourth Uncle have also come with Third Uncle and Third Aunt."
Lin Chang'er said "Oh," and cut some more into a plate, instructing him, "Be careful on the road, don't spill it, okay?"
The little goldfish nodded and carried the plate back to the seafood stall.
Lin Chang'er added sugar to the soy milk. Children love sweets, and Zhou Yi couldn't stop after taking a bite. As a result, Zhou Mu didn't drink much himself and was feeding the little guy the whole time.
Lin Chang'er smiled, made another pancake, and while waiting to flip it, she scooped out a bowl of batter. "The pancakes are dry. After Third Brother feeds Xiao Bao, the temperature of this bowl should be just right."
Seeing Lin Chang'er's polite manner, Zhou San's sister-in-law felt even more ashamed. Forgetting about her food, she got up and pulled Lin Chang'er aside.
Holding Lin Chang'er's hand, he said, "Sister-in-law, we really can't accept your treatment..."
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "We're all from the same village, so it's rare to meet at the market. It's just a few pieces of bread and a few bowls of soup, all from our own homes, nothing special."
Sister-in-law Zhou shook her head, "Sister-in-law..."
With a frown, Zhou San's sister-in-law recounted the events of the previous night in detail.
After saying that, he hurriedly apologized, "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. I'm too gullible and didn't refuse Sister-in-law Niu on the spot."
It's shameful to talk about something like this: eating from a bowl and then turning the pot upside down.
Lin Chang'er just smiled and said, "We are all just ordinary people. Wouldn't it be foolish not to make money if we could?"
However, Xiao Bao's father is right. I did intend to help Xiao Hua and her son. This world is already unfair to us women. If we, as women, can't help each other out, wouldn't that make the world even more difficult?
Zhou San's sister-in-law cried out of remorse, and Lin Chang'er comforted her instead, "I am grateful that you have come to this conclusion and made a special trip to tell me."
Don't overthink it. Everyone has their own ambitions. I'm not that arrogant. The sea doesn't belong to me alone. If she wants to do seafood business, let her do it. Whether she can make money is another matter.
"Since you are willing to follow me wholeheartedly, I will never treat you unfairly when I earn money."
Lin Chang'er felt that, legally speaking, every crime should be given a chance to end. Zhou San's sister-in-law was biased and envious, but she woke up in time. For Zhou's sake, she was willing to give her another chance.
"Thank you, thank you, sister-in-law." Zhou San's wife held Lin Chang'er's hand tightly, then asked, "So, does that mean we don't need to worry about them?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Yes, let's just do our own business and not worry about so much. Of course, if someone jumps in front of me, I won't be so easy to talk to."
Zhou San's sister-in-law nodded, thinking to herself that was good.
Lin Chang'er rubbed her shoulder, "Alright, the pancakes are getting cold, hurry back and eat them!"
In the meantime, the steamed bun stall gradually became lively.
Lin Chang'er was never shy about promoting her products. Whenever someone came to drink soy milk, she would take the opportunity to promote her products, saying, "Today we're making pancakes, crispy and fragrant savory pancakes, only 2 coins a serving. I guarantee you'll want to eat them again and again. Would you like to try some?"
Even when some conservatives opted for steamed buns, she wasn't discouraged. As soon as she pushed out one serving, the customer exclaimed how delicious it was, and then two, three, four, or even five more servings followed.
The Zhou family of three, who were originally sitting on two long benches, immediately gave up their seats when they saw more people coming. They took their soup and went to the side to drink it, having already finished their flatbread.
The couple drank their beverages while watching Lin Chang'er do business.
Suddenly, Zhou San's wife laughed, "Dad, although we don't have the same skills as our younger brother and sister-in-law, if we follow them closely, we'll be able to drink meat soup one day too."
Zhou Mu smiled and said, "Otherwise, how can we say that old ginger is spicier? How could our uncle and aunt misjudge people?"
Zhou San's sister-in-law smiled along, seeing that business was good at the stall and that Gu Da's sister-in-law was too busy to wash the dishes.
So he asked Zhou Mu to take Xiao Bao to the seafood stall again, so that the group of children wouldn't be bullied.
She quietly started washing the dishes.
Lin Chang'er caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, but did not refuse her kindness.
Whether it's Aunt Zhou or Sister-in-law Xiaohua, they're all the same type as Sister-in-law Zhou. If you treat them well, they'll become as restless as a brainless monkey if they don't do something for you.
From now on, we'll all be spending a lot of time together. As the saying goes, only through give and take can things last.
Since it was agreed yesterday that we would sell pancakes today, Sister Gu made fewer steamed buns today.
Unexpectedly, the flatbread and steamed buns did not conflict. Many people bought flatbread, and many also wanted steamed buns. In the end, they couldn't keep up with demand, which made Sister Gu very happy.
After finishing her work here, Lin Chang'er had to rush to Sihai Restaurant. She didn't sell the last batch of pancakes. She cut some and wrapped them for Zhou San's sister-in-law, and cut another third to take to Sihai Restaurant. She left the rest at the stall to wait for the children and Old Madam Bai to come and eat.
Zhou San's sister-in-law naturally refused to accept it.
Lin Chang'er then said, "If you won't accept the cakes, then I'll have to pay you your wages." As she spoke, she went to count the copper coins.
Zhou San's sister-in-law quickly took the cakes, saying, "I'll take them."
Lin Chang'er smiled and took out another string of copper coins. "Third sister-in-law, you came out in a hurry and probably didn't bring any money with you. I'll pay you a few days' wages first. My eldest sister-in-law is going to go shopping later. Since you're here, you should also buy some food to take back and give the children some nutrition..."
