Shameless

Su Wen was completely unmoved. She crossed her arms and stared at the two women. She knew trouble would come knocking when she asked Su Xiu to partner with He Yulan to sell steamed cakes. Once the news spread of how well the steamed cakes were selling in town, people would try to take advantage of her; such was greed.

Even if she had not asked Su Xiu to partner with He Yulan and chose to sell the steamed cakes herself, there would still be people who would eye her good fortune jealously. After all, she was turning a profit from the sale of steamed cakes. Who would not want extra money in their pockets? It was the same as the provisions shop that had opened a while ago, whereby a whole slew followed suit upon seeing how well that shop was doing.
