Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Looking for Trouble?

There was only one bamboo basket left, and Lu Siyuan was too lazy to keep selling. He tossed the basket onto the ox cart. "Let’s head back home!"

They would just make it back in time for lunch.

Eating out on the street was too expensive, and as small-scale vendors, they weren’t willing to dine at restaurants.

The bamboo baskets weren’t perishable; there was no rush to sell them.

"Okay." Shen Mianmian was also excited, her pockets bulging with all the change from selling goods. Counting so much money out on the street, the two kids were drawing too much attention to themselves.

They planned to count the money slowly after they reached Lu Siyuan’s home.

"We should bring more to sell tomorrow." Lu Siyuan, pulling the ox cart and turning it around, couldn’t help but start planning for the future. "If you sell like this until the New Year, you could save up quite a bit of money. Sell for a bit longer next year, and you’ll have your high school tuition and living expenses covered."

With the long summer vacation, they could continue to sell other things and save up money, so Shen Mianmian wouldn’t have to worry about her schooling anymore.

"We’ll talk about this in detail in a bit."

Shen Mianmian had already begun to form some plans in her mind while they were selling just now.

Lu Siyuan simply replied and casually asked, "You took the scale with you, right?"

"I did."

Shen Mianmian had just settled onto the ox cart when she heard a loud voice shout, "Hold on, wait a minute!"

They turned around to see the first lady who bought winter melons rushing towards them, followed by three or four others.

The commotion looked like they were out to pick a quarrel. Lu Siyuan’s face darkened as he asked Shen Mianmian, "You didn’t shortchange her when weighing the winter melons, did you?"

If this lady made a fuss about being shortchanged, they wouldn’t be able to set up their stall here anymore. The people who shopped here all lived nearby. If the lady started shouting, their reputation would be damaged.

Even though people didn’t recognize them, just by saying two kids were setting up a stall, others would know it was them, as they were the only kids selling vegetables in the entire market.

Especially his ox cart, it was too eye-catching.

"Weren’t you there at the time?" Shen Mianmian was just as perplexed but certain that she hadn’t shortchanged anyone. Could it be that the winter melons had worms or were rotten inside?

Seeing the people almost upon them, Lu Siyuan asked, "Should we just leave?" With the speed of that lady, they could definitely outrun her with the ox cart.

But if they left now, no matter what allegations the lady made against them, they would be admitting guilt.

Before Shen Mianmian could reply, the lady who was selling bowls and dishes next to their stall grabbed the ox cart.

"Did you deceive someone? You’re not leaving now!"

She had been jealous watching their sales soar, and now that she saw people coming for them, she gleefully thought.

Shen Mianmian: "..."

She couldn’t help but smile wryly, "No need to worry about it now, we can’t leave even if we want to."

No sooner had she spoken than she hopped off the ox cart. Since the people had arrived, they might as well clear things up.

Lu Siyuan followed her off the ox cart, glanced at the lady holding onto it, and said irritably, "Stop pulling it, we’re not going anywhere."

He despised people like her, getting jealous just because others made a little money.

The group of ladies finally caught up, panting heavily. Seeing someone else holding the ox cart, realizing they hadn’t left, they quickly said, "Thank you, young lady."

"It was nothing." The lady released the ox cart and, impatient, asked, "Did they short the weight?"
