"I’ve never run this fast in my life!" Chen Xiting laughed while panting, his hands on his hips and completely out of breath.
"This money really isn’t easily earned," He Zhilan nodded in agreement. She admitted that she herself had never run this hard before!
Looking around and not spotting any city inspectors, He Zhilan chose a different location to set up again.
However, no sooner had they finished setting up than a shadow fell over them. Thinking it was a customer, He Zhilan did not even look up as she greeted them, "Take a look and see if you like anything. I can give you a discount."
At the sound of the voice, He Zhilan jerkily looked up. It was Gu En—the ever-so-relentless ghost of a person. It was an unfortunate coincidence, she thought. Seeing him carrying several shopping bags, it looked like he was out shopping.
Recognizing Gu En, He Zhilan decided to ignore him and did not bother to reply.
Over there, Tang Tang saw Gu En standing by a stall and walked over. When she realized the vendor was He Zhilan, she was slightly taken aback.
During the new year in the army, Tang Tang had really taken a liking to He Teng. He was promoted from a small team leader to a captain in a short period of time, indicating how much the army valued him. His future seemed bright. Plus, knowing He Teng’s reticent character, she always felt that such a man should be easy for her to control.
But she was shocked to discover that who she thought was a sibling was actually a couple! He Teng was already married!
However, Tang Tang had been keeping tabs on He Teng and had heard about his divorce.
Honestly, knowing that He Teng was divorced, Tang Tang felt a little devalued to be with him. Even if he was Captain He, she was a pure maiden. She felt that marrying him again would be a loss on her part.
"How pitiful indeed. To earn money, you’ve even stooped to the level of being a street vendor. Why don’t you just carry a broken bowl and beg on the streets?"
Gu En mocked. But at this moment, she would not dare kick He Zhilan’s stall. With people coming and going and so many eyes watching, she had to hold back if she wanted to start a fight.
"I set up a stall and I earn money with my own hands to spend on myself. Unlike some people, who wear, eat, and use things they don’t own and could end up having nothing once everything is returned to their rightful owner." He Zhilan snubbed Gu En and turned to greet other customers, treating Gu En as if she was air. Feeling embarrassed, Gu En left with Tang Tang after a while.
"Gu En, did you know that He Teng is He Zhilan’s husband?" Tang Tang had not seen Gu En since the New Year, so she hadn’t asked her about it.
"Yes, I just found out." Gu En snorted. She had only learned about He Zhilan’s marriage when they were at Gu Mansion, and that He Zhilan’s husband was He Teng was also a recent discovery.
It was precisely because she found out He Zhilan’s husband was He Teng that Gu En had been feeling elated for a long time. So what if He Zhilan was the Gu Family’s natural daughter? She grew up in the countryside, was raised by others like an adopted daughter, and ended up marrying the useless son of a farmer, didn’t she?
Gu En sneered, having such a daughter was a disgrace to the Gu Family, wasn’t it?
