252 The Story of Aunt Yang's Family

Gu Zi smiled and replied, "She's just a potential customer for the pastries. If she wants to buy pastries from me, I'll provide her with excellent service. If she chooses to go to the town to buy them, that's her personal freedom, and there's nothing to be concerned about."

An elderly woman who had been watching from the side came over and added, "You can rest assured, Mrs. Wang is not the type to spend money on pastries in town. The things she said earlier were just to upset you because she couldn't get any advantage."

In the past, there were others in the village who had refused Mrs. Wang, and she had used this trick to make people uncomfortable.

Zhang Cuihua, who was playing with Lele nearby, chimed in, "Exactly, I'm sure she won't go elsewhere to buy cakes."

Li Zhu's mother also agreed, saying that Mrs. Wang wouldn't go to town to buy pastries and might even go back to make trouble for Aunt Yang.
