Chapter 29: Caught
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mama Le told Mama Fu that she wanted to break off the engagement.
Mrs. Fu was so shocked that she immediately called. âEverything was fine. Why are you suddenly talking about breaking off the engagement?â
âSigh, in the past, we made our own decisions and decided for the children. The children these days donât fall for this. They have their own ideas and preferences. If we force them to accept it, Iâm afraid theyâll become a resentful couple.â
Mrs. Fu liked Le Wan very much and didnât want to miss out on this daughter-in-law. âArenât they getting along well? Did Fu Sui make the baby suffer?â âDonât worry, Iâll teach him a lesson when he comes back and make him apologize to the baby.â
Mama Le sighed and her tone became even more indifferent. âYou can press his head once or twice, but can you do it for a lifetime? Theyâve grown up, so let them live their lives as they wish.â
It was obvious that Fu Sui was the one to be blamed. Mrs. Le was too insistent, and Mrs. Fu had no choice but to think about it. After hanging up the phone, she was so angry that she grabbed Fu Sui and punched him several times. âYou donât even like a good girl like Le Wan. What kind of person do you want?â
Hearing that the Le family had come to break off the engagement, Fu Suiâs emotions were quite complicated.
It was a happy thing to be able to untie himself from Le Wan and pursue Le Yan in public, but the Le family and Le Wan had given up on him so easily, which made Fu Sui a little unhappy. It made him feel like he was a worthless toy that could come and go at any time.
If Le Wan knew what he was thinking, she would have spat on his face and asked him, âDo you still have any shame?â
Now that the engagement had been successfully canceled, another big stone in Le Wanâs heart had been lifted. She sent a voice message to Zhai Jing happily. âWhat are you doing?â
Zhai Jing looked down at the little toy at his feet and replied, âIâm fooling around.â
Today, Le Wan was going to celebrate the old masterâs birthday, so she had to cancel the supplementary lessons. Since Zhai Jing had nothing to do, he went back to his old profession. He took some small toys from the wholesale market and set up a stall on the pedestrian street.
Le Wan was curious. âWhat kind of blind fool?â
Zhai Jing took a photo and sent it to her.
Le Wan opened the message and saw that it was a stall.
She zoomed in on the picture for a few seconds, circled it a few times, and forwarded it back to him. âThese toys are too mature for primary school students, but theyâre just right for senior high school students. â
Zhai Jing asked her, âDo you like them?â
Le Wan replied quickly, âBoss Shao since youâve given me a supplementary lesson, how about a 20% discount?â
âIâm sorry. Itâs a small business. I donât bargain.â
âBoss Shao, you canât do business like this,â Le Wan said.
âYou should tell me how much you can buy before I can give you a 20% discount. That way, I can sell more.â
At that moment, a female customer appeared in front of the stall. She looked like she was in her teens or twenties. She picked a Lion Dog doll that was priced at 40 yuan and asked him, âBoss, can you give me a discount on this?â
Zhai Jing raised his head. âIf you buy for a hundred Yuan, I can give you a 20% discount.â
The female customerâs eyes lit up. âIf I manage to get a hundred yuan toys, I wonât ask you to give me a 20% discount, but instead I want to get your WeChat number. Is that okay?â
âNo,â Zhai Jing replied.
In the end, the female customer still spent 40 yuan to buy the poodle doll. She carried it and walked away, looking back at him every few steps. On the other side, Le Wan was still teaching him âTips for setting up a stallâ.
Zhai Jing skipped her long speech. âYou are very happy today.â
âIs it that obvious?â Le Wan was shocked.
âYou are a little too excited.â
âYou wonât understand,â âForget it, â Le Wan replied, âIâm going to continue with solving test papers. Be careful not to get caught by the enforcement officers while selling.â
Le Wanâs mouth seemed to have been blessed with light. Just as the two of them ended their conversation, the city enforcement officers suddenly appeared.
Zhai Jing skillfully rolled up the bag and wrapped the toys into his bag. He carried it on his shoulder and was about to run. However, he was really unlucky today. He had only run two steps when he was going to be hit by a little boy who was crossing the road. When a child collided with an adult, it was obvious how much impact it would have on the child.
I canât bump into him! Zhai Jingâs mind sent out such a signal. He turned his right foot and twisted his body to the right, narrowly avoiding the little boy at the critical moment.
However, he had obviously forgotten that he was carrying a huge bag that weighed 30 to 40 pounds. The bag pulled him directly, causing him to lose his balance and fall on his butt. Then, he was surrounded by the town security.
âItâs you again, kid?â When the city enforcement officers saw this familiar face, they felt a headache. As a stubborn young man who had set up a stall from the age of ten, Zhai Jing and the city enforcement officers had fought many battles of wits and courage.
