Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 115 Don’t bother with children

"Shen Qingqing! Who on earth asked me to take her to the vegetable market today? I called her so many times but you didn't hear me, right?"

Li Xunli walked into the room of Shen Qingqing and her sister at dawn, directly lifted the sheet covering Shen Qingqing, and yelled.

This scared the sisters Shen Qingqing and Shen Yangyang, who were sleeping soundly. They opened their eyes with difficulty and saw Li Xunli standing beside the bed.

"mom……"

"Mother……"

The two sisters shouted in a muffled voice, one in front and one behind.

"Are you still going to the vegetable market?" Li Xunli's anger subsided a lot after hearing these two shouts.

Shen Qingqing finally remembered what she had asked Li Xunli last night. She wanted to go to the vegetable market and learn how to buy vegetables. After wrinkling her face, she stretched it out fiercely, stretched her waist, and then flipped up from the bed: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Shen Yangyang was still young and couldn't resist the sleepiness. After calling out "Mom", she fell into a deep sleep again.

After Shen Qingqing finished washing her face, she followed Li Xunli out feeling refreshed.

The road to the vegetable market was narrow, so it would be more convenient to walk in. So when they reached the intersection, Li Xunli ordered something next to a fixed stall, saying she would pay when she came back. Then she locked the bicycle next to her and took Shen Qingqing into the vegetable market.

It was already daybreak when they woke Shen Qingqing up, but by the time they arrived at the vegetable market, it was already much brighter.

Men and women were crowded together in the vegetable market, and even a small person like Shen Qingqing had to lean sideways and wait for an opportunity to squeeze through the gaps.

Li Xunli held one hand tightly, fearing that she would be squeezed and lost in the vegetable market.

After squeezing into the circle of uncles and aunts who were setting up stalls on the road to buy things, there were several small paths leading into the real vegetable market.

Shen Qingqing hadn't been to the vegetable market for almost twenty years in her previous life. When she came back and saw the stall selling eels at the entrance of the alley, the sense of familiarity came back to her in an instant.

Li Xunli saw her staring at the eel stall without moving, and thought she wanted to eat some, so she took her over and asked, "Boss, how much are these eels?"

"Ten yuan a pound!" The eel boss pinned an eel and slashed it with a big knife. The eel, which was still twisting constantly, immediately stopped moving. Then the boss chopped it off with the knife, cut it into small pieces and put it in a plastic bag.

Shen Qingqing looked at the technique which was exactly the same as she remembered and smiled slightly.

Li Xunli bent down to pick out eels from the large basin next to her.

"Boss, these two..."

Li Xunli had just picked out two when she was drowned out by a voice next to her. The two that she grabbed directly happened to be the ones she picked out.

"Boss! I want these two! Slice them thinner for me!"

Li Xunli was startled by the other party's arrogant action of catching eels with bare hands. She looked in the direction where the other party took out money and found that the other party was someone she knew from the same village.

After paying, the man waited for the boss to process the eel when he finally saw Li Xunli standing next to him. "Hey? Xunli?" Li Xunli smiled politely and said, "Sister Yuzhu."

When Eel was free, Li Yuzhu started chatting with Li Xunli: "Xunli, has anyone come to you to buy from your porcelain kiln?"

Li Xunli glanced at Shen Qingqing, who was staring intently at her boss killing eels. After hearing what Li Yuzhu said, she nodded and said, "Yes."

"How much did your family give?" Li Yuzhu suddenly became interested.

Li Xunli wasn't close enough to Li Yuzhu to discuss these matters in a crowded and talkative place like the vegetable market, so she just said vaguely, "Not much."

Unexpectedly, this ambiguous attitude seemed to poke Li Yuzhu's lungs. Her face suddenly turned bad. She approached Li Xunli and asked, "Is your family unwilling to sign?"

Before Li Xunli could figure out where she got this guess from, she heard the man say, "It's just a broken porcelain kiln. Just sell it. Why wouldn't you want to?"

"Don't be silly! The big company told me that if one person refuses to sign the contract to sell the porcelain kiln, no one will get the money. I didn't know who refused to sell it at first, but I understood your attitude as soon as I saw it..."

Li Yuzhu chattered incessantly.

Li Xunli was concerned that Li Yuzhu was from the same village and they would see each other every day, so she suppressed her temper and said, "Sister Yuzhu, I can't make decisions on our family's affairs alone. It's not up to me to decide whether to sell the porcelain kiln or not. My parents haven't left yet."

Li Yuzhu paused in her chatter, then continued calmly, "Ah, why are you so angry? Why are you saying such unlucky things to an old man when he's fine? I'm doing this for the good of your family. If the kiln is sold, your married daughter will get a share!"

Shen Qingqing finally pulled herself away from the eel boss's quick and efficient killing of the fish. Watching him put the two eels into the bag, she raised her head and said to Li Yuzhu, "Aunt Yuzhu, if your family doesn't have money, why would you buy such expensive eels?"

When Li Yuzhu heard this, her face suddenly turned bad. "How can you talk like that, kid?"

Shen Qingqing pointed innocently at the eels that the eel shop owner had already packed: "Tell me the truth, if you didn't have any money, why would you keep worrying about whether our family would sell the porcelain kiln, worried that your family wouldn't get the money?"

Then he suddenly said, "You didn't borrow money to buy such expensive eels, and you're worried you won't be able to pay it back, so you're urging us to sell our porcelain kiln like you did, right?"

What Shen Qingqing said made no sense, but she was just a child under ten years old, how could she understand?
These words spoken plainly caused people around who heard them to laugh.

Li Yuzhu didn't know who the people around her were laughing at, but now that she was stabbed by Shen Qingqing, she thought that others were laughing at her.

"It's not Xunli, how do you raise your children? How can a child interrupt an adult when they are talking? If she is so rude and rude at such a young age, what will she be like when she grows up? Will she be accepted by her husband's family?"

"Aunt Yuzhu, I didn't interrupt you. You finished speaking, and my mother didn't respond to your words, so I took over your words. I didn't let you speak and no one responded. This should be considered polite, right?"

"As for whether I'll have a suitable in-law when I grow up, I don't know, but I definitely won't go around asking around in the market like you do. We polite people wouldn't do such a thing."

Shen Qingqing spoke very seriously, without any other expression on her face, but if you looked closely, her eyes seemed to be on fire.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yuzhu, my child is young and naive. He doesn't know what to say and what not to say. I will teach him well when I get back. Please don't argue with a child." After Shen Qingqing finished speaking, Li Xunli pulled her behind her to protect her.
