A man with big ears jumped at the chance and shouted, "I’ll take all three!"
Having said that, he quickly counted the money and handed it to Chiang Xiao as if afraid she would change her mind.
An elderly man beside them shook his head and said to Chiang Xiao, "Girl, you’re at a loss here, you earned two yuan and some change less."
Two yuan and some change was not a small amount; it could almost buy three jin of rice.
Chiang Xiao counted the money, which was correct to the last penny, and handed the three rabbits to the man, saying with a smile, "If I’m at a loss, then I’m at a loss; ’I am happy with my own willingness’."
Look, how dark the faces of Chiang Baoguo and Ding Meifen have become! They must be fuming with rage!
Seeing them made her happy.
To buy her own happiness for two yuan and some change, she felt it was well worth it!
Ding Meifen glared at Chiang Xiao fiercely and then pushed Chiang Baoguo hard before squeezing through the crowd and running off.
"Meifen, wait for me!" Chiang Baoguo gave Chiang Xiao a dark look before rushing after her.
Seeing the two of them run off, Chiang Xiao shrugged her shoulders and chuckled.
Even though she had offended Chiang Baoguo in the process, she had never intended to get along with the Old Chiang Family anyway, so offending them was no big deal!
Besides, it wasn’t her who provoked them in the first place.
"Little, we could’ve accepted the five yuan from that girl just a moment ago," Chiang Songhai could not stop her in time, and things had developed to this point; he was still in shock, "It’s not good for us to explain this to your granduncles after stirring up such a scene."
Chiang Xiao laughed irritably.
"Grandpa, why should we explain anything to them? Aren’t the rabbits ones we caught ourselves? What’s it to them?"
Although she was mentally prepared for her grandparents to take time to change, when it actually came to such times, she still felt very annoyed and helpless.
"But, Baoguo might really have something important and we’ve just offended the girl from the Ding Family, what if they make trouble for Baoguo?" Chiang Songhai was extremely worried.
Chiang Xiao took a deep breath.
"What does that have to do with us? Even if my uncle truly has to ask the Ding Family for a favor, why should he use our belongings, our money, to curry favor?"
"After all, we’re one family; if we can help, we should, and if we can’t help, we still shouldn’t hold him back," urged Chiang Songhai with a heartfelt sincerity.
Chiang Xiao’s refusal to lower her price earlier was slightly understandable to him, but the fact that she preferred to sell the rabbits for much less to someone else rather than to Ding Meifen seemed like a direct slap in their faces.
To Chiang Songhai, this was no different from a provocation.
He feared that once Chiang Baoguo got back, he might make a fuss, and the Old Chiang Family could tear Chiang Xiao apart.
"Even if I was pulling him back, he was the one who stretched his leg out first, I didn’t provoke him!" Chiang Xiao replied indignantly.
Just as Chiang Songhai was about to speak, the old man sighed and said, "My dear friend, how can you still blame your granddaughter? I see no fault in her! She’s just a bit fiery, and if someone starts a fight, your slight arms and legs won’t stand a chance."
Chiang Xiao actually found the old man’s words interesting.
"The old uncle is right; I should aim to make these slight arms and legs a bit sturdier!"
"Hahaha, exactly." The old man burst into hearty laughter.
By the time the sun was directly overhead, they had sold almost everything, with only two bundles of herbs remaining. Since it was high noon, Chiang Xiao was not inclined to stay out in the sun for these two bundles of herbs, so she urged her grandfather to pack up, and they left the busy market.
"Grandpa, did you bring any travel passes?"
"I did." Chiang Songhai’s spirits were low, still weighed down by the earlier incident, but his eyes lit up when Chiang Xiao mentioned the passes.
