Chapter 112: Braised Peanuts

Shi Jin blurted out without thinking: "Their situation isn't the same as yours!"

The implication is that biological and non-biological are different.

This kid blurts out whatever he says!

Qiao Sheng frowned; the words she had about to say were on the tip of her tongue when Xiao Shitou straightened up and said: "They're not the same, but didn't their parents raise them?"

Qiao Sheng had been worried Xiao Shitou would feel bad, but seeing him full of confidence as Shi Jin debated, she couldn't help but relax.

Shi Jin was left speechless for a while by Xiao Shitou's words.

Suddenly he thought of something.

Shi Jin opened his mouth and said: "They're still young..."

Xiao Shitou replied to him.

"The mother of Li Da Pang in our village also says that; her son is fifteen and keeps bullying the village kids. When people come to her door, she says her son is still young and doesn't understand."

Shi Jin: "..."

They're both just children.

He's even older than Xiao Shitou.

"How can he be so articulate? It leaves him not knowing what to say!"

Qiao Sheng coughed and said: "Shi Jin, you probably don't know this one thing: children from poor families grow up early. Like us, not well-off families, most kids start helping with household chores from a young age. The reason you're not like Xiao Shitou and them is because you have a wealthy family..."

Before Shi Jin could speak.

Qiao Sheng also said: "I brought you and Xiao Shitou here today not to argue about this, but to let you know that not all children can enjoy a carefree life like yours; moreover, many can't even go to school, or only attend a few years before their families stop them."

After speaking.

Qiao Sheng continued: "I hope you cherish what you have now, become useful people, and later you won't regret today's actions."

"Mother, I've remembered it."

Xiao Shitou raised his eyes and said.

Shi Jin lowered his head and remained silent.

"All right, let's go home!"

Qiao Sheng called out, having Xiao Shitou take Shi Jin's hand and follow her.

Back at the stall, Qiao Sheng and Qiao Hushui chatted a bit, then went to boil peanuts; she had originally planned to just boil them to eat, but while washing them she thought of making them braised.

Qiao Sheng had Qiao Hushui go buy some braising ingredients.

She boiled some, braised some.

They were done.

Qiao Xuehua couldn't stop praising them; compared to boiled peanuts, she preferred the braised ones.

"Big sister, these braised peanuts you made are delicious!"

Lan Yue Niang said from the side: "Lianhua, if you put these braised peanuts you made up for sale in your restaurant, do you think they'd sell?"

"Sure, they'd go well with drinks."

Qiao Hushui said with a smile.

Qiao Lanhua also spoke up: "Big sister, didn't you braise a lot today? We'll just eat a little; the rest can be sold."

"Exactly!"

Qiao Xuehua agreed to sell them.

Although she liked eating them, she wanted to earn more money even more.

Qiao Sheng: "..."

She had originally only planned to make them to eat.

Within less than a quarter hour, someone came to their stall to eat.

Qiao Xuehua took the chance to promote the braised peanuts.

She handed out braised peanuts to the incoming diners while saying: "Uncles and aunts, these braised peanuts my big sister made are really tasty—try them and see if you like them."

"Exactly, try them and see if you like them."

Qiao Hushui echoed in agreement.

Someone tried them, instantly liked them, and immediately asked how to buy.
