Chapter 50 -50 Observing the Market

Shen Mianmian answered with unassuming grace, “I didn’t steal or rob, what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Picking bottles from trash bins in a past life, what’s selling stuff in comparison?

As long as she wasn’t doing anything illegal, she wasn’t afraid of losing face.

Lu Siyuan snorted and muttered, “Little girl.” Her face is really thick.

Just a little brat, Shen Mianmian couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. With Shen Mianmian’s help, they actually sold items faster than usual, and in less than two hours, they sold ten items.

Whenever a man came to buy a bamboo basket, Lu Siyuan would pull Shen Mianmian to the back and go forward to communicate with the customer himself. Shen Mianmian found his behavior quite amusing.

No wonder in his past life he ended up in jail for the girl he liked; that protective nature was already showing itself now!

Wait… she’s not some ‘calf’…

Seeing that most of their goods were sold, Shen Mianmian grew restless. It wasn’t easy for her to come to the city, and she couldn’t miss this opportunity; she had to take a good look around the marketplace, to know what the demand was so she could also bring some goods to sell next time.

In this era, as long as one wasn’t too foolish and was a bit bold, just about any small business could be profitable. But since she lacked capital, she could only use her brain to find a way out.

“I’m going to look around nearby; just keep selling here. I’ll be back in half an hour at most.”

“Women are such a hassle,” Lu Siyuan complained disdainfully, then added, “I’ll take you around after we’re done selling. I know this place well.”

He didn’t feel comfortable with Shen Mianmian wandering around alone. After all, he was the one who brought her here; what if she got abducted? Where would he go to find her?

Shen Mianmian smiled, “I know it well too.” More accurately, she knew it even better than he did.

Licheng was still undeveloped, with no very big areas; in her past life, she had practically scoured every street and alley here.

“Still no,” Siyuan said, seeing that she was disobedient, he furrowed his brows and tried to scare her, “There are traffickers for women and children around here. Don’t you run off alone.”

That wasn’t entirely false—some missing person notices were even stuck on nearby telegraph poles. How could an adult vanish into thin air?

Quite likely they were abducted.

Shen Mianmian rolled her eyes, “Do I look more like a woman or a child to you?”

If she were truly fifteen, it might be possible. But now, she was a fifteen-year-old with the soul of an almost forty-year-old crafty demon.

Being timid in a past life had led to that end; this lifetime, she needed to be brave and steadily take steps forward.

Lu Siyuan: “…”

Left speechless by Shen Mianmian’s retort, that didn’t mean he agreed. His phoenix eyes stared intently at Shen Mianmian, as if saying, “Just try to leave.”

Although the two were the same age, with his taller stature, Shen Mianmian seemed a bit less imposing in front of him.

Thinking she would need his help the next time she came out, Shen Mianmian decided to compromise, “I’ll just wander around these few stalls here; I won’t leave your sight.”

“You can only wander around these few stalls,” Lu Siyuan planned a route for Shen Mianmian. All these spots were within his line of sight; he could see everything that happened.

Shen Mianmian chuckled silently: Kids are so easy to deceive.

The surrounding stalls sold chicken eggs, duck eggs, and kitchenware like knives. Shen Mianmian put on a show of loitering in front of these stalls for a while. Taking advantage of the moment Lu Siyuan let his guard down while selling baskets, she quietly slipped away.
