Chapter 125 - 121: Tricycle
The vegetable-selling big sister was stunned and immediately became indignant, "How can Tao Ermei talk such nonsense, twisting a child’s words like that?"
Xia Yuan simply didn’t know whether to laugh or not. She, of course, had no idea that as soon as she and Lu Yun left, quite a few people gathered around the vegetable-selling big sister, chattering away.
"What did they just say to you? You all whispered for so long."
"It’s just Tao Ermei talking nonsense, saying that they are so poor they can’t afford meals and can only buy potatoes to eat as meals, and when buying vegetables, they only buy green veggies. They said it’s because the rice and meat they brought from home hadn’t finished yet, so they didn’t come out to buy any."
"Really? Is that true?"
"How could it be true? They’re just stringing you along; in this weather, what kind of meat can last that long? It’s just an excuse."
"If they salt the meat, why can’t it last a few more days?"
"I think it could be true. That family doesn’t seem to be that poor. Look at their complexions, the clothes they wear, and the two men push carts out every day. They don’t look like they can’t afford meals at all."
