Ni Yang closed her stall really early today; it was just half past ten, and the noodles were already sold out.

In contrast, Zhu Yonghong not only had not sold half of her buns, but also had a lot of customers coming to question, “Why aren’t today’s buns as delicious as yesterday’s?”

While Zhu Yonghong explained with a smile on her face, she was cursing in her heart, thinking, what a bunch of disgusting poor men, having the audacity to ask why the buns, sold six for a cent, were not as tasty as yesterday’s!

Are they brainless?

Can they eat pork with a cent? Don’t they calculate how much pork costs per pound!

As for what kind of meat was in today’s buns, perhaps only Zhu Yonghong knew best.

Many customers expressed that they would never eat Zhu Yonghong’s buns again, and some even brought back buns for refunds.

Customers are not fools. When pork was replaced with something else, anyone could taste the difference.

Damn Ni Yang, the little bitch!

If not for Ni Yang stealing her business, she would not have stooped to such a level!

Now look at the mess! Not only did she not make up for the losses from yesterday, but she also lost more money. Iler brother’s living expenses were still pending, and her mother definitely wouldn’t let her off…

The more Zhu Yonghong thought about it, the angrier she became, so angry she wanted to tear Ni Yang apart.

She walked up to Ni Yang, lifted her chin high, biting her lip, and her eyes seemed poisoned. The fire of jealousy was about to burn Ni Yang to ashes, and she grinded her teeth and said, “Ni Yang! You are something else!”

Upon hearing this, Ni Yang turned around and looked at Zhu Yonghong, giving a faint smile, speak in a calm tone, “Hmm… 1 know I’m excellent, thanks for the compliment.”

“You!” Zhu Yonghong seemed to have punched cotton, so exasperated she couldn’t speak, pointing at Ni Yang, “You…you…”

Seeing this, Ni Yang’s smile grew bigger. She took two steps forward, speaking with a sage-like tone, “Anger harms the liver, you’re still so young, why hurt your own body? You’re not young anymore, stop doing things that are not aboveboard. You should know, the gods are watching over your head.”

As she said the last sentence, Ni Yang took another two steps forward, looking down at Zhu Yonghong with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Iler gaze at Zhu Yonghong was like looking at a clown.

“You…you…” Zhu Yonghong was like a mute eating coptis root, having trouble speaking.

She can’t possibly admit to her jealousy of Ni Yang, that she had switched the pork in the buns with other meat, resulting in a failed sneaky move that benefitted Ni Yang!

Ni Yang couldn’t be bothered to say anything more to Zhu Yonghong, she turned around, pushed her bike and walked away.

Zhu Yonghong looked at Ni Yang’s back, her fists clenched tightly.

Wait and see, you bitch!

She would not swallow this bitter pill just like that!

Ni Yang took a round at the Vegetable Market, bought some ingredients, and then rode her bike home.

It rained last night. The way back to the village was muddy and tough to walk. Plus, Ni Yang had a cart full of stuff with her, making the journey even harder.

Under the circumstances, Ni Yang had no choice but to stop riding the bike and push it forward instead.

At this moment, a group of children came running from afar.

“It’s Sister Ni Yang, that’s Sister Ni Yang.”

“It’s Sister Ni Yang.”

The children started to cheer.

The cheering startled Ni Yang, when did she became so popular among the villagers?

Beyond a child named Goudan, she didn’t seem familiar with the other kids.

But Goudan went to school today.

What are these kids up to?

Before Ni Yang could react, the children swarmed her, “Sister Ni Yang, we’ve come to help you.”

Some of them helped Ni Yang carry things, and some helped her push the cart.

The saying ‘there is strength in numbers’ held true as the cart was quickly pushed out of the mire.

Ni Yang didn’t even have time to thank them before the children scattered again.

Looking at the well-parked cart and then at the children who had already run off, Ni Yang called out, “Kids, thank you. Whenever you get the chance, come over to my house to play!”

Upon hearing her, one of the slightly older children turned around and smiled, “No problem, Sister Ni Yang!” As soon as he finished speaking, he skipped away to catch up with his friends.

The village children were like that – innocent, kind, and grateful.

Ni Yang cast a soft smile at the retreating figures of the children.

She thought to herself that she must find some time to express her gratitude to these children and let them know that God does not shortchange the kind-hearted.

Meanwhile…

Wang Meifeng was boiling traditional medicine in the kitchen.

Just then, the living room door was pushed open, followed by footsteps and Yang Guobao’s voice calling “Grandma”.

Typically, Zhou Suhua would respond warmly to Yang Guobao, but today was different. Zhou Suhua remained silent.

“Grandma.” Yang Guobao followed Zhou Suhua to the kitchen.

Zhou Suhua wore a dark expression on her face, as if a storm was brewing.

“Mom?” Wang Meifeng poured the boiled soup into a bowl and looked at Zhou Suhua with a perplexed expression.

With a serious look on her face, Zhou Suhua said, “1 need to talk to you.” Once she finished, she turned and walked toward the bedroom.

“Okay.” Wang Meifeng left the soup on the stove and followed Zhou Suhua into the bedroom.

“Mom, what do you need?” Wang Meifeng looked at Zhou Suhua’s back, asking the question.

“I went to see Doctor Wang today.” Zhou Suhua turned around, her face devoid of any expression. She then asked, “Why did you lie to us?”

Wang Meifeng’s eyes flashed, “Mom, 1 don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Zhou Suhua sternly said, “That medicine can’t cure Guobao’s illness at all! Comrade Wang Meifeng, what are you trying to do!”

Wang Meifeng exhaled, “1 wanted to try, Guobao also wanted to try.”

“Try?” Zhou Suhua’s face was flushed with anger, “Do you know you’re hurting Guobao by doing this? You’re aware of what happened with Hudie! Stop giving him that medicine immediately, don’t let him take those unidentified drugs again!”

Zhou Suhua was worried about her grandson’s health. After consulting Doctor Wang, she found out that the medicine Ni Yang gave had no effect on Yang Guobao’s condition, and only had a small nourishing effect.

All medicines have side-effects, especially those that need to be taken for three months. Yang Guobao was still a child, how could his small body withstand that? Wang Meifeng wasn’t helping him; she was harming him.

“I am Guobao’s mother. I hope more than anyone that Guobao can enjoy a free and happy childhood like other children. Mom, I take your advice on everything, but not this.”

Wang Meifeng was firm in her decision. Plus, she couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but since Yang Guobao started drinking the medicine, his energy seemed to have improved. Although he had only been drinking it for five short days, he hadn’t had a single episode during this time.

As a daughter-in-law, Wang Meifeng had never opposed Zhou Suhua. Now Zhou Suhua was furious, her whole body shaking. She said sternly:

“Wang Meifeng, you received a higher education. How could you be so foolish! Doctor Wang is a descendant of a royal doctor.. Ni Yang you mentioned is nothing more than an unlicensed rural doctor, yet you would rather trust her than Doctor Wang! You are playing with Guobao’s life! From today, stop feeding my grandson this medicine!”
