The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister
Chapter 103 Too Unfair
Li Cuilian looked at the kindness and warmth on Shen Yan and the children's faces, and the guilt in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable feeling of being touched. She knew that it was inappropriate to insist on paying at this time, so she stopped arguing and gratefully accepted the food brought by Shen Yan.
The children sat together, eating steaming rice and steamed buns, enjoying this unexpected warmth.
Their laughter and cheers echoed in the street, as if lighting up this small corner. Shen Yan looked at them, feeling peaceful and satisfied.
The crowd around me gradually increased, and passers-by stopped to watch. Some people were even moved by this sudden scene.
An old man said with a smile: "This is the true love between neighbors. Young people, you did a good job!"
His words were full of praise and encouragement for Shen Yan and Li Cui Lian.
After the children finished their meal, Shen Yan took the initiative to help Li Cuilian push the stall so that her steamed buns could be better displayed to passers-by.
Li Cuilian also warmly invited Shen Yan and the children to sit at her stall and share this hard-earned dinner together.
In this simple exchange, the distance between each other seemed to be shortened a lot, and people of different ages and identities became so close at this moment. They were no longer just strangers in the village, but neighbors and friends in each other's hearts.
Gradually, night fell and the lights on the street came on, embellishing this quiet little village. People gradually dispersed, but what remained was a deep memory of this beautiful moment.
Shen Yan and Li Cui Lian said goodbye to each other, but they both felt deeply touched and warm in their hearts.
At the same time, Boss Wang and Li Juan had already arrived.
They were all lying in ambush in the dark, just to see how Shen Yan made money, and it would be best if they could disrupt her business.
At this moment, seeing Shen Yan giving Li Cui Lian food and refusing to ask for money, the couple were extremely jealous.
"This damn girl, she gave away such good food to outsiders for free, and was reluctant to give it to us. We are Wang Jun's uncle and aunt, and we are a family if we round it off. Now I know that this person is just ungrateful."
Boss Wang complained on the side.
Li Juan had made up her mind. She waved her hand and said, "No need to waste time. Let's go and confront her face to face."
The cold wind was blowing, and Wang Juan's face was actually a little stiff. She rubbed her face and walked forward as if nothing had happened, towards where Shen Yan was pushing the cart.
After arriving there, Boss Wang said directly, "Isn't this Sister Yan? What kind of food did you cook? Why does it smell so good? Give me and your aunt one portion each."
Boss Wang said this shamelessly, but he was actually feeling aggrieved. He didn't expect that Shen Yan, who didn't have any skills, could cook such delicious food.
If I had known this earlier, I would have let her go to their house to cook. By then, she would be the one cooking, and all the money she earned would be given to the eldest branch of the Wang family.
Then the street stall business became Wang Lao Da's. He could make money without doing anything. He could buy as much wine as he wanted.
Shen Yan remained calm. After all, this was on the street and it was not appropriate to get violent with them.
"Indeed, uncle and aunt, although we are not related by blood, you are Jun'er and Lin'er's uncle and aunt. These dishes are not worth much. I just set up a small stall to supplement the family income and send two children to school. Raising children is very hard and costs money everywhere."
Despite this, Shen Yan did not make any move to serve them rice, but instead ate her steamed buns leisurely.
The steamed buns eaten with the vegetables are so sweet and delicious that they make people feel very satisfied.
Wang Juan looked at Shen Yan's calmness and frowned even more tightly. She was angry but couldn't show it. After all, this was in a crowded place and it would be bad if something happened.
"Sister Yan, you can't be partial when doing business. If you do this, how will you do business in the future?" Wang Juan's tone was somewhat reproachful. "Look, you are so enthusiastic about Li Cuilian, but you don't even want money. How unfair is that?"
Shen Yan listened, but still smiled, "Uncle, Auntie, it's the same thing, you see, the steamed buns made by Sister Li Lian are not bad either, I bought her steamed buns, and she didn't ask me for money, isn't this helping each other?"
Wang Juan's face became even uglier after hearing what Shen Yan said. "What kind of logic is this? Who said that if you give something to others for free, you will definitely get something in return? What's wrong with you, you little girl, don't be so naive."
Shen Yan was silent for a moment. She was not shaken by Wang Juan's reproach. She knew that her original intention was good, and no matter what others said, she would stick to her choice.
"Uncle and aunt, I know what you mean, but I didn't mean it. I just want to run a small business in this village and live a good life with my children. You know, this world is not easy."
Wang Juan was even more upset when she saw Shen Yan's firm attitude, but she couldn't show it on her face. She thought for a moment and then said in a caring tone, "Sister Yan, you are too naive. The society is not like before. You should know how to protect yourself and don't be too naive."
Shen Yan smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, uncle and aunt. I will pay attention to it."
Seeing Shen Yan's gentle attitude, Wang Juan said nothing more and turned to leave.
Although she felt somewhat unhappy, she also knew that making a scene in such an occasion would do her no good.
Shen Yan watched Wang Juan's back disappear in the crowd, and secretly felt lucky. She did not want to conflict with others, but just wanted to do her own things quietly and live an ordinary and happy life.
The children were unaware of the complications between adults and they continued to enjoy the food in their hands with smiles on their faces, as if there were no worries or disputes in the world.
However, Shen Yan felt that Li Juan was too shameless. In terms of blood relationship, the two of them were not related at all, but she lectured Shen Yan like this, obviously just to take advantage of her.
"No matter how much defense you have, you can never prevent a thief from roaming your own home."
I don’t know why, but perhaps Boss Wang heard what he said and was very dissatisfied.
"Sister Yan, be careful with your mouth. You are a little kid who has not learned to be a good kid. You only know how to curse people. Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
Although Boss Wang is theoretically the eldest uncle of the Wang family and should be Shen Yan's elder, he is a person who likes to take advantage without knowing it and is not afraid of embarrassing himself.
Shen Yan didn't care what he said at all. "If you want to make a scene, go ahead. I don't want to argue with you. It's embarrassing to be on this official road. I'll see whose people will be embarrassed by it."
At this time, his younger brothers and sisters had finished their meal, so Wang Jun simply walked to the front, pulled open the quilt on the cart, and started shouting loudly to sell food.
