Chapter 43 Selling River Snails
"Mom, he said we were cheating people? We can't let him go until he explains himself clearly," Xuexue held tightly onto the old man's sleeve and refused to let go.
Due to the old man's outbursts, nobody dared to buy her river snails, which she would definitely have to take back home; Xuexue didn't want her efforts to be in vain, insisting on a clear explanation.
Today was market day, the streets were bustling with people, spectators grew more numerous, clogging up the entire street, everyone whispering and pointing fingers at Xuexue's stall.
Having never faced such public embarrassment, Madam Xie's face turned crimson with shame, her head hung low, wishing she could burrow into the ground and bury herself so no one could see her,
Having been a Crown Princess Consort in her former life, Xuexue had seen grand events, and such a small scene didn't affect her; she still clung tightly to the old man's sleeve, not letting him leave.
