Chapter 7: Two if its two

Start from the beginning
                                    

The butcher asked: "how many pound of fresh pork do you want?"

Lin Xiaoye looked around and saw ribs, pig elbows, pork and fat on the chopping board.

Should she buy some ribs to stew?

While pondering, a sharp voice came from behind.

"Yo Yo, look at that tattered clothes and she have the galls to buy pork"

"If you don't have money dont squeeze in front, really making joke of yourself."

"If you don't want to buy it, go away quickly. There are many people waiting behind you."

"That's..."

After saying that, the aunts began to wink at each other. They wanted to push Lin Xiaoye out but Lin Xiaoye immediately grabbed the chopping board with both hands.
The peope pulling her could not move her.

One of the aunts grasped for breath:
"I say, you are small but why are you so strong?"

Lin Xiaoye smiled, ofcourse that is a must.

"Don't worry, aunts. I'll surely buy meat."

With that, Lin Xiaoye looked at the meat on the chopping board.

"Boss, do you have any fat here?"

Hearing this, the people around immediately began to jeer.

"Come on, you can't even afford this lean meat and you want to buy fat meat?"

"That's..."

Lin Xiaoye was shocked. Is fat here more expensive than lean meat?

She heard the boss saying "there are some, this pork fat was cut off by me. how many you want?"

The boss then lift up a wooden bucket from below. Which was full of pork fat inside.

"how much for the fat?"

"Thirty coppers plates per pound"

"Thirty?" Lin Xiaoye was surprised.

It's a little expensive.

Later, she heard someone sneer:
"hmp, if you can't afford it, don't buy it.."

"Thats it! Just ask the boss to pick some bones for you, dont even think about eating meat"

"Bones? Hum, I don't think she can even buy bones. Look at her poor appearance and her face. What kind of cloth is that? "

"She's ugly enough to scare everyone."

Hearing the sarcasm around her, Lin Xioye's anger stirred up. She clenched her palms.

Who said she doesn't have money?!

She pointed at the barrel of fat and said;
"Boss give me ten pounds of fat!"

Everyone was surprised to hear her.
They all stared at her one by one, even the bos was surprised.

"Girl are you sure you want ten pounds?"

Lin Xioye glanced at him. "Why? Are you worried that I can't pay?"

Having said that, Lin Xioye took out her two silvers.

The boss immediately nodded "Ah ofcourse! Wait, I'll pack it for you! Do you need something else?"

" Add two pounds of lean meat and two pounds of ribs."

"Alright!" The butcher said with joy.

This time, the arrogance around her dissipated.

" She really has money, to actually buy so much! I don't dare to buy that much."

" That.. look at her clothes, who knows she has money"

That said, the people around quiet down.
No one dared to squeeze their way forward.

Lin Xioye raised her chin, took the loaded meat and left.

She's really an impulsive devil ah!

Lin Xioye, Lin Xiaoye just cant control it, but this is ten pounds of pork/meat. It cost half a piece of silver to buy a piece of meat.

Lin Xiaoye looked back at those people with a sad look and finally left with the
pork on her arms.

While passing a tailored shop, her heart suffered, buying clothes was a woman's nature especially after being talked behind about by those people.

However, considering the piece of silver left in her hand, she gritted her teeth and hurried forward.

Lin Xiaoye, Lin Xiaoye you must hold back!
