Ever since Pei Xiaoxia married Yang Baixiang, she moved to the county town and took over this Pancake Fruit Shop. With no outsiders harassing her, life beca much more comfortable.
The couple also managed the shop with great care and diligence.
For the first ti in her many years, Pei Xiaoxia felt that her life had direction and purpose. She didn’t worry about being beaten or sold, and she had at to eat at every al.
Although Yang Baixiang’s leg had not healed, Xinxin assured that it would definitely be cured, it would just take ti.
And truth be told, Yang Baixiang was a good person and treated her exceptionally well. If it weren’t for his injured leg, she would never have had a chance at this marriage. So even if his leg never healed and he remained la, she was content.
However, she underestimated the shalessness of the Pei family. The small Juan Family mber actually ca looking for her in the county town.
At first, the small Juan Family mber arrived looking pitiful, seeking out her daughter. Considering that this was her birth mother, and not wanting to cause a scene, Pei Xiaoxia didn’t have the heart to turn her away. Instead, she gave her two taels of silver, which she had saved up herself.
She later told Yang Baixiang about it, and he didn’t bla her.
Thinking that the silver would keep the Pei family from returning, who knew that just after half a month, they ca back again. This ti, Pei Xiaoxia had no silver left, so she refused them.
The small Juan Family mber then cried tragically, claiming they were truly struggling to survive. In the end, Xiaoxia gave her another tael of silver and made it clear that she was not to co back again.
Despite agreeing nicely, it was only a few days before the small Juan Family mber ca back. This ti, she even wanted to move into the shop.
Pei Xiaoxia knew that her previous leniency had caused trouble, so she firmly stated that she had no money left.
Then, the small Juan Family mber threw a tantrum outside the shop, wailing that Pei Xiaoxia was unfilial for running off with a man while her family was starving to death, yet she was here enjoying a life of good food and drink...
The Pancake Fruit Shop had been doing well, which made so neighboring shop owners jealous. Now, they seized this as a topic of gossip.
Eventually, it was Qian Er who showed up intending to report to the authorities, and only then did the small Juan Family mber get scared off.
But peace only lasted about ten days before the small Juan Family mber returned, this ti with her elder brother. They almost wrecked the shop, but fortunately, Liang Zi was there to chase them away.
However, Liang Zi wasn’t there every day. So, during tis when just the couple was at the shop, the small Juan Family mber showed up again. Yang Baixiang got angry but couldn’t lay a hand on her, as they were the younger generation, and the small Juan Family mber beca even more brazen, daring Yang Baixiang to hit her...
In the end, Xiaoxia pushed the small Juan Family mber out, warning her they’d both be done for if she dared to co in again.
The small Juan Family mber did stop entering, but took to sitting at the door crying and cursing every day, severely affecting the business. Later, it was the arrest officer Xie who ca and scared her off...
Today, she ca again, not asking for silver but demanding to live in the shop and for her elder brother to manage the place...
Today marks the second ti she has co this month.
Pei Xiaoxia felt indescribably tornted and at a loss for words.
They originally thought about informing Yang Ruxin, but Ruxin had so many concerns, and there was word of war in the north. If they couldn’t even manage a shop properly, how could they possibly speak up?
Seeing her mother sitting on the ground, snot and tears streaming down, and her elder brother joining in the ruckus among the crowd, Pei Xiaoxia felt her head pound. If it weren’t for her husband holding her hand throughout, she felt she would surely collapse.
