Chapter 260: Something’s Wrong

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Ze drove the ox cart to the side, and the carriage passed them.

The driver of the carriage was a burly man. He glanced at Su Ze and the others before looking at He Qingyao and He Qingmu.

Perhaps because the coachman’s gaze was not too friendly, He Qingyao and He Qingmu shrank closer to Su Li.

Sil Li hugged the children and glared at them

Su Li hugged the children and glared at them.

The coachman looked at Su Li in disdain and sped up to overtake them.

When they brushed past each other, the wind stirred the other party’s curtain. Su Li saw a few small heads inside.

A woman immediately held onto the curtain. When she saw Su Li looking in, she smiled at her. Unlike the coachman’s burly figure, the woman had a gentle temperament.

“Thank you for making way for us,” the woman said.

Su Li smiled back. “You’re welcome.”

This woman’s attitude was much better than the man just now. She was also more comfortable to look at and interact with.

After the carriage left, Su Li looked at the carriage in a daze. She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but she could not figure out what exactly was wrong.

“Sister, what’s wrong?” Su Ze asked.

Su Li shook her head and said, “I’m fine! Let’s continue on our way!”

Su Li and the others’ ox cart moved. The woman who was sitting in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked in Su Li’s direction.

“Those two children are not bad. They’re fair and tender. They’ll definitely be able to sell for a good price!”

If they could abduct those two children, they would be able to have a good New Year this year.

The man driving the carriage curled his lips and snorted. “But I don’t think that woman is that stupid. It won’t be easy to kidnap the children from her.” The woman smiled disdainfully. “Who said we were going to kidnap them from

“What are you suggesting?”

“What if the children get lost themselves? I think they’re going to town. Inform Scar and the others to find an opportunity to take the children away in the chaos.”

“Alright, you’re still the one with a way.” “Why don’t you take a look at who I am!”

The woman lowered the curtain.

Several children were tied up in the carriage, and their mouths were gagged.

The woman stroked their heads lovingly and said gently, “Be good and don’t make a fuss. I’ll find a better place for you.”

Although the woman’s movements were very light and her voice was very gentle, in the ears of these children, she was like a demon. Their bodies kept trembling and their tears kept flowing.

The woman’s expression changed when she saw them like this. The gentleness from before no longer existed. She pinched their arms hard and warned them coldly.

“You’d better behave yourselves. If anyone hears you making any noise, I’ll skin you alive tonight and make you into meat buns.”

The children were terrified when they heard her words. Some of them even peed their pants.

The woman felt that it was meaningless and turned her face away, too lazy to pay attention to them.

On the other side, Su Ze drove the ox cart to town.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu could not help but look around.

The town was so prosperous and lively! It was much more lively than their village.

The peddlers on the street were peddling their wares one after another. It was filled with life.

Su Li looked at them and asked, “Are you guys hungry? Do you want to eat something first?”

Although they had eaten at home in the morning, children’s digestion was fast. They might be hungry in a while.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu shook their heads and said, “Mother, we’re not hungry yet. Let’s go do your things first!”

They had already eaten in the morning, so they were not very hungry now. Besides, food on the streets was very expensive. They had just bought a cow and had to build a house, so they had to be more economical.

Su Li nodded and said, “Then we’ll come back to eat later. Mother will bring you guys to eat delicious food.”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu quickly said, “Mother, we’re not hungry. We’ll eat at home later.”

How could Su Li not know what these two children were thinking? Her heart ached for their sensibleness, but she also felt a little gratified. “It’s fine. Mother has money. You don’t have to worry.”

Soon, the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the Exquisite Pavilion.

“Sis, do we have to move everything down?” Su Ze asked.

Su Li nodded and said, “Yes, move everything in.”

Su Ze followed Su Li’s instructions and moved everything in the car into the Exquisite Pavilion.

The shop assistant of the Exquisite Pavilion didn’t know Su Ze. He saw that he didn’t look like a rich person. Moreover, the things he moved in were in baskets. When had such things entered their shop? Could it be that this kid had set up the stall in the wrong place?

The shop assistant from the Exquisite Pavilion opened his mouth to chase him away. “Brother, you can’t set up a stall in our shop. Please take these things out.’

Su Ze was at a loss for a moment. His sister had asked him to move the things in. Could it be that he had moved the wrong things?

Su Ze explained, “My sister asked me to move the things in. She said that your shop wanted them! ”

The shop assistant sized Su Ze up and saw that his shoes were still stained with dust. She couldn’t help but despise him. He must be a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the guts to come to the Exquisite Pavilion.

The shop assistant said impatiently, “We don’t want these things in our shop.

Take them back where you came from!”

Su Ze frowned. He was very dissatisfied with the shop assistant’s attitude.

“Is that so? You don’t want these things?” Su Li’s clear voice rang out.

The shop assistant from Exquisite Pavilion turned around and saw Su Li walking in with two fair and tender babies.

The shop assistant from the Exquisite Pavilion quickly changed his expression. “Madam Su, you’re finally here. Our shopkeeper has missed you for a long time!”

Business in the shop had always been good, and Yue Yingying had also changed from a manager to a shopkeeper.

Not only did they buy the soap from Su Li, but even the perfume she left behind last time attracted many rich madams and young ladies who wanted to smell it and spray it on themselves every day.

That thing was much more useful than sachets. Not only did it smell good, but it also lasted for a long time. The fragrance and sweet smells were much better than sachets.

Su Li did not leave much perfume behind. She only left enough for people to try it in the shop and did not sell them any excess. Some people had already started to feel frustrated. There were even people who quarreled with Yue Yingying over this matter.

Su Li glanced at the shop assistant from Exquisite Pavilion and did not say anything.

Su Ze stood beside Su Li and said, “Sister, she said that she doesn’t want our things. She wants us to go back to where we came from!”

Su Li said calmly, “Then bring them back!”

The shop assistant from Exquisite Pavilion panicked when she heard that. How could she afford to offend this God of Fortune?

She stretched out her arms and stood in front of Su Li and the others. She said apologetically, “Ms. Su, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know this young man was your brother. I thought he was someone who came to set up a stall, so I asked him to go..”
