I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 96: The Trust Between Grandfather and Grandson

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Trust Between Grandfather and Grandson

Bai Zhi looked for a long time and waited even longer, but Bai Dan didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving the house; he just kept looking at her with a chuckle. Bai Zhi felt bitter in her heart.

She had no choice but to speak first.

"Grandpa, we should get going, it’s market day today."

In fact, it wasn’t too late, it was just around eight o’clock. At this time, there would surely be a lot of people, because today was the annual market day.

It was said that on this day, people from all the surrounding villages would come to the market, so Bai Zhi had prepared a lot of ingredients, which was why she was running a bit late.

If you noticed, even the popcorn vendor was there. On this day, the market would stretch from one end of town to the other, bustling from morning to evening.

"I’m waiting for you to drink your milk first. No rush."

Little girl, trying to sneakily avoid drinking it, don’t even think about it.

"Grandpa, I will drink it, you don’t have to keep staring at me."

What about the trust between grandpa and granddaughter?

"Xingxing, it’s not that Grandpa doesn’t trust you, but your trustworthiness has actually become negative in my eyes. Tell me, after buying for so long, you were supposed to drink a box every day, yet somehow the milk just keeps increasing. What am I to do?"

Logically speaking, a whole box should have been gone, but Xingxing put it back when he wasn’t looking.

"If you don’t drink it, we’re not going to the market today."

Bai Dan crossed his arms and looked at Bai Zhi seriously, letting her know that he meant business.

Ah, how could Grandpa be so excessive? What was she supposed to do?

She needed to earn that small money.

Bai Zhi immediately pinched her nose and closed her eyes to start drinking.

Although a bit childish, this way she wouldn’t smell anything, and Bai Zhi finished the milk in no time, giving herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

Just after breakfast, the front door was pushed open. It was Bai Xiang, running in and gasping for breath, somewhat breathless from running too fast.

"Good thing you haven’t left yet. Bai Zhi, your canned goods are selling really well. Hurry up and help me put them in jars, we are going to sell them ourselves today!"

Bai Xiang had wanted to come over yesterday, but Bai Zhi wasn’t there, so he got up especially early this morning, afraid of missing her again.

"Really?" Bai Zhi flashed a look of surprise; she truly hadn’t gotten her hopes up too high and was quite nonchalant about it—not too worried whether they sold or not.

But hearing that they were doing not too bad, she was overjoyed. Did that mean they could make a big profit with all the mountain pears?

Bai Zhi was surprised, but Bai Xiang thought she didn’t trust his abilities. After all, he was known as the Marketing Prince, a title everyone had given him.

How could it be possible that he wouldn’t sell anything? It was just a matter of how much money they’d make.

"Of course, what’s that look for? Don’t you believe in me?" He felt his abilities were being questioned and that made him quite unhappy.

"How could I not? I’m just amazed by your skills, Cousin. You’re doing great, and I’m totally impressed."

Although her cousin was impressive, he was still a young man who hoped to be praised. So she would lavish praise on him.

But it was also the truth; her cousin had quickly taken care of things, which proved his skills. Indeed, to become rich overnight, one needed some real talent.

"Alright, that’s more like it. Hurry, how many more do we have to bottle? I bought a hundred jars. Will that be enough? Also, we need to discuss the pricing. What’s our cost? The supermarket sells them for twelve a jar, we’ll go with ten."

Bai Xiang was knowledgeable about these things. If the price was set too low, other sellers would be unhappy, which could disrupt the market.

Every trade had its own rules that should not be easily broken.

"Cost? Just a few pounds of white and rock sugar."

The cost was indeed low.

"Then that’s settled, let’s go with that and head out."

Bai Dan saw the two children busy with their tasks and quickly went to help, they had only three jars, which in the end they filled up, with around fifteen bottles.

Bai Xiang looked at the quantity and felt it was a bit less. Gritting his teeth,

"When we come back today, let’s all go pick some more, then make it. Even if it’s not market day, I can still sell it."

Bai Xiang’s sales channels weren’t limited to market days; he was able to sell anytime.

"Okay, no problem." Making some small money was naturally no problem at all.

Once everything was packed, Bai Xiang put the baskets in the tricycle and set off with Bai Fei riding along with Bai Dan.

Not far along, they saw Er Bai also on his way to the market, accompanied by the group pet and Ouyang.

Bai Zhi found it odd. Wasn’t this Ouyang always with Baby Face? Why didn’t she see him?

Then she felt like laughing. Why would she think about others?

"Grandpa, we’d also like a ride."

Bai Ye spoke up directly. They had walked a long way without a ride, and today was market day, so they definitely had to join the excitement. They had even brought all their spending money, ready to shop to their hearts’ content.

"Come on then," Bai Dan said indifferently. He was not averse to taking them.

Er Bai quickly climbed up and simultaneously pulled the group pet aboard. Ouyang frowned, looking disdainful. How could he sit in such a rickety tricycle? His expression immediately displeased Bai Zhi.

"Grandpa, let’s go."

If he disdained it, then he shouldn’t ride it.

"Grandpa, wait a second, Brother Ouyang hasn’t got on yet."

The group pet urgently piped up. Brother Ouyang hadn’t got on yet—how could they leave him behind?

"Don’t you see he doesn’t want to? I won’t take someone who disdains my tricycle,"

Bai Dan had seen the disdain in the young man’s eyes. So why should he bother taking him?

"But... Brother Ouyang, come on up. It’s still far away, and we don’t know if there will be any other transport today."

The group pet quickly turned to Ouyang, begging. Walking was exhausting.

"I won’t ride," Ouyang said coldly. So many people would beg to give him a ride, but what did that insolent girl mean? She clearly didn’t want him to ride. He was the one who was actually disdainful.

"This..." The group pet was terribly anxious, glancing at the stubborn Ouyang, then back at Bai Yu and the others.

"Well, we’re setting off," said Bai Dan just then.

In that instant, the group pet stood up abruptly and jumped out onto the ground.

Because she was too hasty, she twisted her ankle right away.

"Ah, it hurts so much."

Everyone was stunned. Bai Zhi thought the group pet must be out of her mind.

If you wanted to get off, couldn’t you have said so? Why would you just jump?

Ouyang immediately went to help her up and knelt down to check her foot, deeply shocked.

Xixi had actually jumped from the tricycle, for him?

Bai Ye and Bai Yu also decided not to ride anymore and promptly jumped off.

"Xixi, we’ll help you back in and take you to the hospital,"

Bai Yu looked at the group pet’s pained expression and glared fiercely at Bai Zhi, as if blaming her for speaking out of turn.

Bai Zhi pouted. It’s my fault, is it? Then, with a cold laugh, she gestured mocking farewell to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu’s face darkened even more as he suddenly recalled the incident from two days ago, an embarrassment he could never forget in his lifetime.
