CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 0342 COUNTY MAGISTRATE’S WIFE HAS WORRIES AGAIN (2)

Li Yuzhu heard someone outside the carriage saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival in August was coming soon, and many traders from other places were entering the city early to celebrate with their families.

Others said that a famous theater troupe had come to the city, attracting people from outside the city who came to watch the performance.

As more people entered the city, all passersby had to be checked by soldiers at the gate to prevent troublemakers from sneaking in.

This caused the speed of passing through the city gate to slow down.

At this time, the sun was intense, and sitting in the carriage was like sitting in a steamer.

Qin Hu jumped off the carriage and approached Chai Eying’s mule cart, saying, "Miss Li, Miss Li, I’m going to the city gate to say a word, ask them to let us through first. How long will this queue take otherwise?"

Chai Eying lifted the curtain and frowned as she looked ahead, "Is this alright?"

"The gate guards know me." Qin Hu replied.

Chai Eying was indifferent, "Alright then."

"I’ll be right back," Qin Hu bowed to Chai Eying, squeezed into the crowd, and ran towards the city gate.

Li Yuzhu also lifted the curtain and looked ahead, thinking the queue was really long.

Their vehicles were stopped about two miles away from the city gate.

Actually, there weren’t many people; instead, there were many vehicles and sedans, many carrying poles and pushing carts, stretching the queue.

"Hey, isn’t that my third sister? Are you coming to the county town too?" Suddenly, a voice sounded outside the carriage.

Li Yuzhu looked out the other window and saw Miss Chai lifting the curtain of her cart, looking into their carriage.

Chai Eying saw her, and with a cold face, said, "So it’s my second sister."

Miss Chai glanced at Li Jing and Guoguo beside Chai Eying, chuckled, "Third sister, you’re taking your role as a stepmother more seriously. Taking them both when visiting relatives? Is the Li Family grateful to you? Or do you have to take these two burdens out, afraid that the Li Family won’t want you?"

Chai Eying replied coldly, "It’s none of your business."

Li Yuzhu raised an eyebrow indifferently, was Miss Chai so against Chai Eying?

"Bad person!" Guoguo glared at Miss Chai, suddenly agitated.

Miss Chai was angry, "Truly ill-mannered! Who are you cursing?"

"Mom, bad person!" Guoguo shouted loudly again.

Her voice was clear, attracting the attention of people queuing nearby to look over.

They saw a one-year-old little girl glaring at a young woman in the opposite cart, her little face puffed up, looking very angry.

How could such a small child know good from bad? Probably, this woman beat the little girl or mistreated her, causing the child to scream.

The people were murmuring.

"You... curse again! Do you believe I’ll hit you!" Miss Chai’s face turned blue with anger, spewing nonsense, she never hit this Li Family little brat!

"Bad person, bad person!" Guoguo shrieked.

"Shut up!" Miss Chai was even angrier.

"Hey, I say, madam, what are you concerned with a one-year-old baby?" The old man pushing the cart behind Miss Chai’s carriage couldn’t take it anymore.

"Did you hit the little child? She just said that about you?" A man on horseback sneered.

Chai Eying’s face was dark, "That’s absolutely not the case!"

"Then why did she say that about you?" The man raised an eyebrow.

"How would I know why? Just ill-mannered, her biological mother ran away, raised by her stepmother like this!" Miss Chai sneered.

In public, Chai Eying didn’t want to argue with Miss Chai, she reached out to pull Guoguo, "Guoguo, let’s ignore her."

But Guoguo wouldn’t leave, holding tightly to the car board, glaring at Miss Chai.

"Guoguo?" Li Yuzhu also advised.

Guoguo still ignored, continuously looking at Miss Chai and shouting bad person.

Miss Chai gritted her teeth, pointed at Guoguo, "Want to get hit?"

"Just a child, young lady, isn’t your tolerance too small?" In front of the carriage was a middle-aged fat woman sitting in a sedan, peeking out the sedan window and mocking Miss Chai, then smiling and waving at Guoguo, "Baby, come come, look here, auntie will give something to Guoguo."

She grabbed two plums from the sedan and handed them toward Guoguo.

Guoguo with a dark face, "Don’t want."

"Then, do you want to play with this?" The fat woman took away the plums and brought out a rattle, shaking it toward Guoguo.

"Don’t want." Guoguo’s face softened, shaking her head.

"Ill-mannered." Miss Chai rolled her eyes at Guoguo, intending to drop the curtain.

"Bad person, bad woman!" Guoguo screamed again.

This time, Miss Chai was utterly infuriated.

She grabbed something and threw it at Guoguo.
