Sold Out

After all, how is it that each time she managed to get close to a handsome uncle or a beautiful auntie, her stupid brother would run over and make them disappear? Or that one time when he kept telling her bad things about that handsome brother, but they turned out to be lies?

Hmph, it must be that her stupid brother wanted to keep all the handsome uncles for himself and didn't want to share them with herself.

Really a bad brother!

Thinking of this, Meng Jie had a scornful look on her face and ignored her brother. She turned her attention back towards Mu Yuchen and said, "Handsome uncle, don't listen to my brother. I want 100 buckets of chestnuts."

That's right, father will surely be happy that she bought him the chestnuts he liked. She can already imagine his happy face!

Meng Jian almost hit his own face this time. Just how stupid is his sister? Isn't he trying to protect her?

Mu Yuchen also decided to ignore the little girl's brother and said, "100 buckets, each one of them cost you 150 copper coins. The total amount of money you need to pay is 15 silver coins."

Meng Jian looked at Mu Yuchen and thought he was joking. What, 15 silver coins for some chestnuts? He must be joking, right?

Although his family is rich and he doesn't mind spending some silver, but we're talking about chestnuts! A cheap thing that most people don't even buy, how dare this person call out for so much money?

Meng Jie was a little confused as well. "Handsome uncle, wasn't it only 100 copper coins yesterday?"

Mu Yucheng thought about Liu Xiaolan's words and said, "Little girl, look at this bucket. It's a new type, bigger than the ones we sold yesterday. It has more chestnuts inside, so that's why the bigger price…"

Meng Jie thought about it and felt that it must be true. After all, the bucket does seem to be a little bigger than previously.

As for the fact that some cheap chestnuts were sold at a price of 150 copper coins per bucket? For Meng Jie, even if they were sold 10 times the current price she would still feel they are worth it.

After all, the dishes her father usually likes to eat are much more pricey than these chestnuts. Since her father liked them, it's obvious that they should be worth a little more, right?

Meng Jie turned her attention towards her brother and frowned. "Brother, what are you waiting for? Quickly give the money to the handsome uncle!"

She felt that she was really unlucky today. Not only was her stupid brother insisting on following her, but he also held all of their money. What if he doesn't buy what she wants?

Thinking of this, Meng Jie had some tears in her eyes and said, "Brother, if you don't buy my chestnuts, I'll tell father that you bullied me!"

The look on Meng Jian's face changed. If this little girl told his father that he bullied her, wouldn't he end up beaten?

Last time his sister complained about him to their father, that old bastard hit him so hard that he couldn't get out of his bed for a few days. If Meng Jie told her father that he bullied her this time, wouldn't he be bedridden for the next month?

Thinking of this, he quickly took out 15 silver coins and gave them to Mu Yuchen. "Here, I gave him the money, just don't cry little sister…"

Meng Jie saw that her shopping was done and started smiling again.

Mu Yuchen took the money and said, "Alright, the amount is correct. I'll go and bring your buckets…"

In the end, bringing 100 buckets of chestnuts took Mu Yuchen quite some time and a few more runs between the stall and the room in Liujia Wood Workshop than he would like to, but he was finally done.

Getting rid of all the chestnuts that Liu Xiaolan asked him to sell today, Mu Yuchen was really happy. He smiled and said, "Little girl, do come back again. I will leave some more chestnuts for you!"

Meng Jian almost wanted to curse again. What more chestnuts? Isn't it enough that he cheated his sister to buy 100 buckets of them today, and he still wants to increase that amount next time?

His sister, however, had no idea about his thoughts. And even if she did, she probably wouldn't care. "Okay, handsome uncle! I'll come by again in the future when we need more chestnuts again…"

"Brother, take them and let's quickly go home. Dad will be happy that I bought him chestnuts again, let's get them to him sooner!"

Meng Jian looked at the 100 buckets in front of him, some stacked on top of another buckets, and almost cried. How is he supposed to take them away? He's only got 2 hands, what does she want him to do?

Thankfully, this time they came out with a carriage. Meng Jian quickly called for his people and asked them to load these chestnuts onto their servant's carriage before following his sister.

Before leaving, he looked back at Mu Yuchen and sneered in his heart. Although his family doesn't involve themselves in the underground world, but the least he can do is to make sure that his little sister will never come here again!

Want to sell more chestnuts to his little sister? He can dream!

But Mu Yuchen couldn't care less about him. He quickly pulled the stall back to the room in Shopkeeper Liu's shop before leaving for Liuojia Village.

"Are you already finished selling for today?" Liu Jiahao asked, a little puzzled. Yesterday they've came later and spent much more time here, why is he leaving already?

"Uhm, I've already sold all the buckets we had…" Mu Yuchen said before running out with a smile on his face, thinking of going back earlier to spend more time with his lady.
