Chapter 220: Chapter 219: The Illness Must Be Treated
Jiang Mingyuan noticed Xu Haimin’s expression, but he didn’t know whether he was looking at Lin Xia or Ji Man.
But no matter who he was looking at, he was not polite and directly told them to leave, "It’s almost noon, if you want to buy something, hurry up!" Why linger around here?
"Right! Haihua! Let’s keep looking! See if there’s anything suitable!" Aunt Xu dragged Xu Haihua away, not knowing that Lin Xia was setting up a stall with Jiang Mingyuan. Now that she knew, what couldn’t she see at her age?
It definitely must be something awkward between the Jiang’s second son and Lin Xia.
She couldn’t allow her old daughter to lose face in front of Lin Xia.
In fact, even if she didn’t want to admit it, it was no use; Lin Xia’s current attire indeed looked different from before, and she seemed quite carefree, which really made her feel quite uneasy for a while.
Previously, Lin Xia and the others had rented her house, which had nothing in it, but now that they had started a business, they must be making quite a bit of money.
Xu Haihua didn’t want to leave; she had just started speaking to Jiang Mingyuan.
"Mom! What’s the hurry?" She also didn’t know whether Lin Xia’s family had visited or not.
But it wasn’t easy to ask about it; if she did ask and they had indeed come, suspicion might fall on her.
But if she knew nothing at all, she would continue to feel anxious and uneasy.
"Why not worry! There were so many people bumping into each other when we came, and if we go back too late and miss the bus, then what! Let’s hurry up and buy so we can go home!" Aunt Xu signaled her with her eyes to stay alert.
Didn’t she see the Jiang’s second son with a tense face, as if they were an eyesore? Despite everything, she couldn’t allow her old daughter to embarrass herself by being overly enthusiastic in front of them.
While the mother and daughter were at an impasse, Xu Haimin suddenly spoke up, pointing at a batwing shirt on Lin Xia’s stall, "Little sister! Doesn’t that piece look good?"
As he spoke, he moved closer to the front of Lin Xia’s stall, near the two customers, his normally fierce-looking face now smiling, "How much is this clothing?"
He deliberately moved closer, observing closely. The two girls really looked lovely, their faces as clear and delicate as a peeled boiled egg, clearly inviting admiration.
Lin Xia was slightly stunned. She didn’t understand what Xu Haihua’s brother was up to, seeing his lascivious look, she said coldly, "Thirty-five!"
She had sold it for eighteen or twenty to others before, but to Xu Haihua, she was naturally going to charge a different price.
It wasn’t just about whether Xu Haihua wanted to buy or not; she didn’t even want to sell it to her!
Ji Man, standing beside, remembered that woman who had visited the stall before.
She had realized then that the woman liked Jiang Mingyuan and had later asked Lin Xia, who said she was a neighbor.
Now, seeing their interaction, it seemed like the kind of relationship that was very ordinary, even not good, between neighbors.
And, she truly disliked the man who was with this woman.
She saw in his eyes a look that disgusted and nauseated her, and when he approached the stall directly, she stepped back behind Lin Xia.
Xu Haihua was shocked at her brother’s series of unexpectedly quick actions, not understanding what he was thinking!
He couldn’t possibly have failed to recognize that it was Lin Xia’s stall; even if it meant throwing money into the water just for the sound, she wouldn’t let Lin Xia make a profit!
She moved forward irritably and pulled Xu Haimin by the arm to the side, "Brother! I’m not interested!"
Such an exorbitant price must definitely be ridiculous by Lin Xia!
Did she look like a fool? It’s not like this tent was the department store, where clothes could be that expensive?
Xu Haimin hadn’t expected the clothes to be so expensive; he thought they would only cost about ten yuan, and he had planned to show off by paying for them.
Seeing Xu Haihua speak like that, he took the opportunity to back down, "Then let’s keep looking!"
Xu Haihua now felt that it was impossible for her to stay any longer. She didn’t know what might happen if she did.
Thus, she reluctantly bade farewell to Jiang Mingyuan, softening her voice unconsciously, "Brother Mingyuan! We’ll be leaving first!"
"Hmm!" Jiang Mingyuan replied with a sour expression. His piercing gaze focused on Xu Haimin. He was sure this guy was up to no good.
Xu Haihua followed behind Auntie Xu and Xu Haimin, walking forward.
As they passed Lin Xia’s stall, she feared Jiang Mingyuan seeing her and didn’t dare to glare at her fiercely. She could only give her a slight glare.
Lin Xia, seeing this, was infuriated. Xu Haihua was clearly a mean person!
She and Ji Man scoffed and laughed, "This needs to be treated; if it delays treatment, they might go blind one day!"
She just lacked evidence. If she had evidence that Qian Chunli and her family had started causing trouble after Xu Haihua’s visit and that it was Xu Haihua stirring things up from behind;
she would definitely slap her in the face right then and there! Grab her by the hair and bang her head against the wall until she was dazed! See if she dared to cause trouble next time!
Xu Haihua had already walked a few meters away, and she could naturally hear Lin Xia’s words. Yet if she turned back now to settle the score with Lin Xia, they would definitely end up fighting right there.
Jiang Mingyuan, without needing to think about it, would surely side with Lin Xia, that vile woman. That would just ruin the atmosphere that had just calmed down.
So she had to endure, and she would find an opportunity to make Lin Xia suffer later!
Xu Haihua clenched her fists and gritted her molars. She really just had to keep walking forward stiffly.
Auntie Xu thought Lin Xia’s sudden comment was quite unusual, but she couldn’t possibly suspect her own daughter. Besides, who would willingly take blame?
Xu Haimin kept looking back at Lin Xia’s stall; he felt an itch for that tall girl.
When they had walked further away, Xu Haihua glared at him with a disapproving look and scolded, "Xu Haimin! What are you thinking? Couldn’t you guess that was Lin Xia’s stall?
Earlier how could you even consider asking the price? I would rather not buy than let her earn my money!"
She was truly going to be infuriated to death! How could she have such a foolish brother?
Xu Haimin defended himself, "I was also stunned at that moment, I didn’t even remember that it was Lin Xia’s stall. I was just looking at how nice the clothes were! By the way, which one is Lin Xia? The tall one?"
He hoped in his heart that the tall one wasn’t Lin Xia, otherwise his mom and his sister’s prejudice would become a troublesome issue. Plus, he had once had a rough interaction with Lin Xia’s family, and that could affect their future relations.
And Jiang Mingyuan was a formidable competitor; he couldn’t deny it, and he couldn’t beat Jiang Mingyuan.
"No! It’s the slightly shorter one! Are you interested in that girl?" Xu Haimin was acting too out of the ordinary, so Xu Haihua felt a different suspicion rising.
"How could that be!" Xu Haimin denied, pressing down the relief in his heart as he glanced at his watch, "Little sister! You really have to hurry, look what time it is!"
Auntie Xu silently listened for a while and finally understood what was going on with this brother and sister.
She asked sternly, "Both of you knew Lin Xia was setting up her stall next to the Jiang family’s second son. Why didn’t anyone tell me? Let me tell both of you, you both need to stay away from them!"
Each of them is a tricky one to deal with. Not to mention Jiang Mingyuan, just talk about Lin Xia who is ruthless when she turns her face. When she left their house, she still adamantly demanded the two dollars back!
