Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 103 - Hairpin Flower

Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Hairpin Flower

“This…”

Aunt Zhang refused to take back the hairpin flower, causing Madam Xie some distress.

Seeing the delicate and exquisitely made hairpin flower, which also seemed suitable for children, Xuexue lowered her head to Chuner and asked, “Chuner, do you like the hairpin flower Aunt Zhang gave you?”

Chuner clearly liked it, but after glancing at Madam Xie, she hung her head, not daring to speak, because she knew that normally, her mother did not like her to accept things from others. She said that even though one is poor, they should not lack ambition. Although Chuner didn’t understand what it meant, she knew it was right not to accept things from others.

Seeing how Chuner shrank back timidly, Xuexue said again, “Don’t worry, Chuner. If you like it, your sister will buy it for you.”

“Really?”

...

Chuner suddenly lifted her head, her eyes sparkling.

“Mhm, your sister made some money selling river snails,” Xuexue nodded firmly.

“I like it! Chuner has never worn such a pretty hairpin flower before,” Chuner pondered for a moment and then said honestly.

It was true, during their days with the Mo family, affording basic sustenance was a problem, let alone Madam Xie, being penniless, having any money to buy hairpin flowers for Chuner. Not to mention Chuner, even Xuexue had never worn a hairpin flower all her life.

“As long as Chuner likes it, we will buy it.”

Immediately, Xuexue stood up and called out to Aunt Zhang, “Auntie, how much for the hairpin flower?”

“Oh my! Why talk about money with me? My business flourishes thanks to you all the time. What’s one hairpin flower worth? It’s not worth much at all,” Aunt Zhang stubbornly refused to accept payment.

“If you don’t take it, my mother will feel uneasy. Just take it,” Xuexue pulled out a few Copper Coins from her embrace and handed them to Aunt Zhang, “Auntie, see if this is enough? If it’s not, I’ll give you more.”

Aunt Zhang glanced at Madam Xie, saw that she was finally smiling, and reluctantly took the Copper Coins without even looking at them, saying, “That’s enough, that’s enough. Really, making such a fuss over a hairpin flower.”

Having arrived by ox-cart today, they had gotten there much earlier than usual, and most people coming to the market had not yet arrived. There were only a sparse few passersby strolling on the street.

After setting up their stall, Xuexue thought that before the market got busy, she should buy some steamed buns to eat; they had got up early and had not eaten all morning, so they were hungry.

“Mother, I’ll go buy some buns from the Great Harmony Restaurant.”

Having been to town a few times, Xuexue had heard how delicious the food was at the Great Harmony Restaurant, and she had longed to try it.

“Okay! Go and come back quickly.”

Madam Xie thought about the early morning journey, and that her two daughters must be hungry. Though the Great Harmony Restaurant was expensive, the breakfast was reasonably priced, and most households could afford it, so she did not object.

Soon, Xuexue turned two streets and arrived at the front door of the Great Harmony Restaurant.

At the entrance, steaming baskets of breakfast items were lined up on both sides while several waiters bustled with enthusiasm, both collecting money and packing breakfast for customers.

Xuexue also queued up with the crowd.

Just as it was almost Xuexue’s turn, suddenly, a barrage of angry curses came from the restaurant: “You damned fool, how dare you sneak into our restaurant to steal food!”

Hearing the angry shouts, everyone stopped what they were doing and craned their necks to see.

Soon after, a middle-aged man emerged dragging a ragged man by the sleeve, cursing non-stop: “You wretched pauper, not having money and still daring to steal food from our restaurant. You must have the ‘Courage of Bear’s Heart and Leopard’s Gall.'”

“What’s going on, Chef Ding?” one waiter stepped forward and asked.

“You dare to ask me? Are all of you blind? Someone sneaked into the back kitchen to steal food, and you all didn’t see,” Chef Ding said angrily as he lifted his head.
