Chapter 1027 Selling for Money
Zhan Qingning hugged her tightly: "Look, our Miaomei is finally not afraid of water anymore!"
Zhan Miao subconsciously opened his eyes and said with joy: "I am not afraid of water anymore. I can even walk in the water!"
She broke free from Zhan Qingning's arms and walked around in the water again.
Zi'er praised loudly: "Miss, you are amazing. You have overcome your fear of water. Next, start practicing paddling!"
Zhan Miao raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "How to practice?"
Zi'er first asked Zhan Qingning to demonstrate, asking her to hold the rock wall tightly with both hands, and no longer to plant her feet firmly, but to float with the buoyancy of the water.
Zhan Miao's pretty face turned pale with shock. She shook her head vigorously and said, "I can't do this. I really can't do this. What if I can't hold on to the rock wall? Will I be drowned?"
Zhan Qingning comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Meow Meow, Zi'er and I will catch you immediately and will never let you drown!"
Zhan Miao was still a little reluctant, but when he thought that he would not be able to go to the beach if he couldn't learn to swim, he regained his motivation.
She carefully hugged the rock wall, tried to relax her body, and then carefully lifted her feet off the ground.
Almost instantly, her entire body floated up, and her hands could no longer hold on to the rock wall.
Before she could even shout for help, Zi'er lifted her up.
She rolled her eyes and said anxiously, "I didn't hold it firmly just now. Let's practice again!"
Time passed minute by minute, and when it was almost dusk, Zhan Miao finally learned how to dog paddle.
She was so happy that she kept saying she wanted to go out and buy some delicious food to treat herself.
Lin Yiwan asked Zi'er to follow and gave her and Zhan Qingning each a silver note worth fifty taels of silver.
Zhan Miao felt like she had a huge sum of money. She winked at Zi'er proudly and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you today!"
Zi'er thought carefully for a moment and then said, "Don't you want to eat grilled squid? Let's go and have a feast today!"
Zhan Miao nodded hurriedly: "Let's go to the grilled squid stall first!"
A few people came to the market, but were told that the best grilled squid stall was on West Street.
Zi'er hesitated a little. She said worriedly, "Miss, it's getting late. West Street is quite far from here!"
Zhan Miao frowned and said, "Can't we just go buy grilled squid?"
Zi'er couldn't bear to refuse her again, so she nodded: "Okay!"
It took the three of them about a cup of tea to reach West Street, where they saw a grilled squid stall that was doing a booming business.
Zhan Miao ran over and said, "I'll order thirty!"
The shopkeeper immediately agreed: "Okay, Miss, please go to the empty table next to you and wait for a while. It will be ready soon!"
Zhan Miao and Zhan Qingning sat down obediently, staring at the grilled squid stall, hoping that he would finish the food and send it over soon.
Suddenly, a few young men in brocade clothes came over from a distance, followed by a few servants, each holding a book box, as if they had just returned from school.
The young man in the front had a gold collar around his neck and a red ribbon on his forehead. He looked like a treasure that was carefully raised at home.
He shouted to the squid stall owner, "Hurry up and give me the grilled squid you have! I'm starving!"
The squid stall owner's expression suddenly changed. He forced a smile and said, "Master Xiao Bao, please wait a moment. These squids have been ordered by customers. I will grill them again for you soon!"
A fierce look suddenly flashed in the young man's eyes. He winked at the servant beside him and strode forward to grab it: "What are you talking about? Looking at the whole Jingcheng, who dares to let our little master starve?"
The squid stall owner was caught off guard, and all thirty skewers of squid he had just grilled fell into the hands of the tall and mighty servant.
The boy took it and stuffed it into his mouth while calling out to his friends: "Eat quickly, we'll go play polo later!"
The squid stall owner walked up to Zhan Miao with a guilty look on his face and said, "Miss, I'm so sorry that they took all the squid. Can I grill them again for you right away?"
How could Zhan Miao bear such anger, but she also understood that she couldn't go out on the street and cause trouble.
Forget it, let’s wait a little longer!
Who would have thought that after those people finished eating, they didn't even pay and just walked away shouting.
The squid stall owner chased after him to ask for money, and the young man angrily scolded him, "Are you obsessed with money? I clearly paid you when I went to get the squid just now. What's the matter? Do you want double the amount?"
The shopkeeper said awkwardly, "Master Xiao Bao, please be considerate of me. The deposit for these thirty skewers of squid was given by that young lady just now, not by your servant!"
The young man raised his hand and slapped him hard: "You're talking nonsense, that's my money, since you don't want it, then give it back to me!"
After saying that, he snatched the change away.
Zhan Miao's eyes turned red with anger. What a bad boy! It's bad enough that he stole her squid, but he even dared to steal the silver she gave him!
He is so brave!
She couldn't stand it anymore!
Thinking of this, she rushed out quickly and said, "Stop, that was clearly the silver I gave to the shopkeeper, why are you trying to snatch it?"
The young man squinted his eyes and looked at her. He thought that the little girl in front of him was really pretty, chubby, and especially her eyes, which were as bright as the stars in the sky.
So cute!
He couldn't help but want to tease her!
He spoke slowly, "You just said that this silver is yours, so call it a few times and see if it responds."
Zhan Miao couldn't help but frown: "Do you think I'm a fool? Silver is a dead thing, how could it agree to it!"
The young man snorted coldly: "I don't care. Since it doesn't agree, then it's mine. You just suddenly appeared and scared me, Master Bao. Hurry up and kneel down to wipe the dust off my shoes, and I won't hold you accountable for your mistakes!"
Zhan Miao was stunned. Where did this idiot come from?
He actually asked her to kneel down and polish his shoes?
Have you eaten the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard?
Zi'er was so angry that a layer of frost appeared on her pretty face. She immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
Seeing her like this, the young man burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you still dare to say that I, Bao Ye, am presumptuous? Today, Bao Ye will let you see what happens after you offend me!"
With his order, many strong men holding sticks surrounded Zi'er and the other two.
The squid stall owner was so frightened that he was shaking all over. He said anxiously, "Little girls, hurry up and apologize to Master Bao, or they will take you away!"
Zhan Qingning said with a sullen face, "We did nothing wrong. Why should we apologize? How can Jingcheng allow him to be so arrogant? Are there any laws left?"
The young man laughed out loud as if he had heard a huge joke. "Today, my Lord Bao will let you see what the law of Jingcheng is. If you hit her, be careful. Don't hurt her face. You'll have to sell her to Qinglou for money!"
