Chapter 101: Chapter 101 The Most Venomous Woman’s Heart_1 Chapter 101: Chapter 101 The Most Venomous Woman’s Heart_1 Lin Yuan watched with cold eyes as Lin Yongle was dragged away like a dead dog by the constables, snorted coldly, picked up her stuff, and turned to leave.

Liuzi’s table had been destroyed; she had to go find Liuzi and compensate him with some silver.

“Hey, you little wretch!

I kindly saved you, and you just walk away without a word?

Is this how you treat your savior?” Xia Zheng stepped in front of Lin Yuan, blocking her path.

His wrist was still aching.

This girl, with her venomous mouth and heart, had been gloriously protected by him.

Shouldn’t she be sobbing and clinging to his legs, begging him to take her in?

And then he would disdainfully push her away, only for her to come crawling back, crying desperately with pleas of willingly being a slave or maid rather than leaving him—yes, that’s the normal reaction of a woman.

Lin Yuan glanced sideways at the guy in front of her who refused to leave, waved the dirty tablecloth in her hand, and then pointed back at the table reduced to kindling behind her: “Listen here, young master, I was selling mooncakes just fine, and if you hadn’t suddenly shown up and blocked my business, I would have sold them all and gone home.

Would I have ended up in this mess today?

And you’re here expecting my gratitude?

You caused me to lose money and break my table—why don’t you talk about compensating me instead?”

“What?!” Xia Zheng’s imagined perfect scene hadn’t played out at all; the girl was actually turning around and demanding silver from him?

Hold on, did he get confused because he exerted too much during the fight and didn’t hear her properly?

This girl’s skill in turning the tables was really something—he was almost tricked by her.

“You little pest, stop bluffing me!

I saw it all clearly just now—the bunch of them came straight for you, and furthermore,” Xia Zheng stepped closer, leaned down slightly, and whispered into Lin Yuan’s ear with a soft laugh: “I saw everything clearly.

You broke that man’s leg and deliberately messed up someone else’s steps to step on him.

The prison is already damp and cold; thanks to this young master’s word, Wang Tianba and his men definitely won’t be released for the next half a month.

My guess is that man’s leg won’t be able to be saved.

Little girl, do you still dare to say that what happened today was a coincidence?”

After finishing, Xia Zheng let out a soft chuckle, his breath just right at Lin Yuan’s ear.

Lin Yuan was a head shorter than him; not only was he leaning so close to her, but he also, intentionally or unintentionally, whispered into her ear—truly annoying!

Lin Yuan pushed away his leaning body, lifted her right leg, and kneed toward the man’s private parts.

But Xia Zheng was no vegetarian; when his groin was in danger, how could he be careless?

He dodged backward with his buttocks, crossed his hands, and covered Lin Yuan’s knee, pushing it downwards—easily deflecting her attack.

“You little wretch!

Women’s hearts really are the most poisonous; where did I wrong you, to deserve such a malicious attack on my lineage?!”

Lin Yuan didn’t really mean to attack him; she just wanted to use the motion to distance herself from Xia Zheng.

“With someone as annoying as you, it’d be best not to have any offspring!

Who knows if your son would turn out to be more annoying than you!”

Pouting her lips, Lin Yuan had already left, swinging her cloth bag with flair.

Xia Zheng could only shake his head and smile helplessly as he watched her leave; this little girl was quite interesting.

After turning the corner for the eighth time to make sure that annoying noble wasn’t following, Lin Yuan finally turned toward Fuman Building.

However, Liuzi wasn’t there; another servant mentioned that he had gone out to look for their Young Master again.

Lin Yuan left two taels of silver for Liuzi and explained the situation to the other servant brother, then left Fuman Building.

Originally, she was planning to sell all the mooncakes before returning home, but this incident completely disrupted her plans, and now it was already midday.

Lin Fugui’s ox cart must have headed back to the village long ago, and she couldn’t catch up even if she wanted to.

Feeling hungry, Lin Yuan went to the street corner and bought two buns to nibble on, then she bought some red and mung beans, and even picked out a large stone mill.

She left these items in the store for the time being, planning to ask Lin Fugui to make a special trip back to the village later to help her carry them home.

Thinking that her mother’s most treasured piece of floral fabric was ruined, Lin Yuan went to pull another piece of cloth with the same pattern to make up for it.

As for the dirty piece, it was too wasteful to throw away.

Fortunately, Guizhi’s sister-in-law was selling cold skins at the street corner, so she went to ask if Guizhi’s sister-in-law would mind taking it.

Guizhi, of course, coveted such good fabric, but felt embarrassed to take it without reason, and wondered how it could be so full of mooncake filling.

To avoid raising her suspicions, Lin Yuan lied, claiming it was a tablecloth that the Aunt at the stall next to her, who sold mooncakes, no longer wanted.

Upon hearing this, Guizhi agreed to take it, but insisted on giving Lin Yuan a bowl of sesame paste in return.

It was noon, and Lin Ershuan took advantage of the lunch break to help out at the cold skins stall.

Lin Yuan told him about her wish to get some good lumber for making a wheelchair.

Lin Ershuan, fascinated by the word “wheelchair,” was eager to see what the finished product would look like, and immediately threw off his apron and ran to order the wood.

Lin Yuan had almost finished dealing with her own matters, but Lin Fugui still hadn’t returned.

Thinking of Lin Jiaxin’s leg, which needed proper care, Lin Yuan turned around and went to the pork shop.

Pork Rong was taking a break at the time, and greeted her cheerfully: “Little girl, what brings you here?

Are you missing your two piglets?

Haha, rest assured, they are eating happily.

In about ten more days, you can take them home to raise.”

Influenced by his hearty laughter, Lin Yuan loudly agreed and then went to check on the two plump piglets, which indeed were fatter and sturdier than the last time she visited.

They were snowy white and pink, and although pigs love to lie in the mud, Pork Rong’s piglets were all clean and quite charming.

“Uncle, I’m not here to look at the piglets today.” After a glance at the piglets, Lin Yuan spoke to Pork Rong about her real purpose, “I want to buy some pork bones from you, do you have any?”

Some butchers sell whole pieces of meat, hence they don’t have pork bones left over.

However, Pork Rong did have some, not just a few but quite a lot, because he would always keep some bones to make soup.

The soup made from the bones would have a layer of fat floating on top, which could make noodles or rice cooked in it especially fragrant.

Thus, it saved both oil and money.

Pork Rong, thinking Lin Yuan was going to do the same, picked out two large marrow bones for her and said with a laugh, “Why talk about buying?

These aren’t worth much, take them for free.

Using them to make soup or noodle dishes will be very delicious.”

Although she knew these pork bones weren’t valuable, Lin Yuan didn’t want to just take them for nothing.

After all, she would need to purchase bones regularly in the future to make soup, and she would feel guilty if she kept taking them without paying.

“Uncle, I’ll be coming here frequently to buy bones from you in the future.

If you don’t take the money, then I won’t dare to enter your shop again.”

Pork Rong was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter.

This little girl was quite interesting, others would hope to leave without paying, while she felt uneasy about not paying.

“Alright, girl, then pay what you think is right.

Anyway, it’s not valuable, I’d refuse if you gave too much.”

Lin Yuan laughed and asked him to weigh a few pounds of pork meat for her.

She probably wouldn’t have anything else to do when she got back home, and with time in the evening, she could make meat-stuffed dumplings.
