The Boss is Reborn with his Little Fairy

Wen Ke’an remained silent as she got up and walked towards her room.

Liu Qing was comforting Li Yueyue, and when she saw Wen Ke’an’s actions, she didn’t think much of it, assuming that Wen Ke’an simply didn’t want to stay in the living room.

Wen Ke’an quickly came out of her room, holding a paper bag in her hand. She walked up to Liu Qing and Li Yueyue and placed the paper bag on the table.

Her gaze was gentle and serene, as if she had been born with a tender temperament. She looked up at Li Yueyue and calmly said, “Here’s the four thousand, I’m returning it to you.”

The four thousand dollars were the recent payment Wen Ke’an received for her work, as well as some pocket money Wen Qiangguo had given her before. Since she stayed at home and didn’t have many expenses, she had been saving up the money.

Unexpectedly, Wen Ke’an was able to come up with four thousand dollars. Li Yueyue felt frustrated and closed her mouth. However, she was never one to reason with others. After calming down, she reached out, took the money from the table, and put it in her pocket. She rolled her eyes and grumbled, “So what if you give us money? When your family was in trouble, you knew how to borrow money from us. Now that you’re earning money, you’re acting all secretive and sneaky. You truly are a hypocrite!”

“We didn’t owe you money just to not pay it back. We are grateful that my second brother is willing to help us. But, sister-in-law, it’s a bit too much for you to come to our house and demand us to pay it today.”

Liu Qing was generally easy-going, but it didn’t mean she was a pushover, especially in front of Wen Ke’an. When Li Yueyue said those words, Liu Qing was already getting angry.

“I’m being unreasonable? How come you didn’t think it was unreasonable when you came to our house to borrow money? Now that you don’t need us anymore, you’re not going to act all humble like you did when asking us for money? A hypocrite will always be a hypocrite. We shouldn’t have lent you any money in the first place!” Li Yueyue’s words showed no trace of empathy.

Liu Qing was so infuriated that her eyes turned red. Wen Qiangguo walked over to comfort her.

In truth, Wen Ke’an knew very well that their aunt had never intended to lend them any money. The twenty thousand dollars they received were all secretly borrowed by Wen Qiangguo without Li Yueyue’s knowledge. Now, for the sake of the secret recipe, Li Yueyue was trying to take credit for everything, as if she had been a kind and compassionate bodhisattva all along.

Wen Ke’an could bear with it when it involved family relationships, but now, she couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her gaze to look at Li Yueyue and said firmly, “We’ve already repaid the money. If you keep behaving like this, I will report you to the police.”

After saying that, Wen Ke’an picked up her phone, and stared at Li Yueyue seriously with her cold, beautiful eyes.

Li Yueyue knew that she wouldn’t get the secret recipe this time, so she snorted and left, taking the money with her.

After the whole drama, it was already ten o’clock. Wen Ke’an explained the source of the four thousand dollars to her parents and then went back to her room to rest.

No one paid too much attention to this incident. Now, everything was moving in a positive direction. Sooner or later, they would be able to pay off their debts and live a better life.

The next morning, Wen Qiangguo woke up early again and started making braised food. By noon, the braised dishes were almost ready, and the fragrant aroma filled the air. Some neighbors passing by their doorstep couldn’t help but exclaim how delicious it smelled.

Li Yueyue’s home was also in this neighborhood, not very far from them. When she returned home at noon, she could already smell the fragrance of braised food from a distance.

“This smell is so good. I wonder where it’s coming from,” two middle school students passing by Li Yueyue said, discussing the aroma as they headed home for lunch.

Their words reached Li Yueyue’s ears, and her expression turned sour. Jealousy in her eyes, “They’re just selling braised food, and they dare offend me? I’ll make sure they can’t do anything!”

As the sky darkened, it was time for the father and daughter to set up their stall together. They usually waited until after 8 o’clock to start, as their stall was not in a prime location, and only few people would occupy it.

But today was different. When Wen Qiangguo and Wen Ke’an arrived at their usual spot, they were shocked to find someone else had taken over their stall. It was someone selling fried chicken, and they had occupied not only Wen Qiangguo’s stall, but even the neighboring stall run by an elderly lady selling bracelets.

In such places, it’s a matter of who arrives early to secure a good location. Helpless, they had no choice but to look for another spot.

As they moved forward, there were still many decent spots available, and in the end, Wen Qiangguo found a good location to set up their stall and placed all their belongings there.

“Dad, don’t you find it a bit strange?” After everything was set up, Wen Ke’an looked towards the spot where they had previously been stationed and spoke softly.

“Hmm?”

“All these other spots are quite good, but why did that particular family specifically choose to occupy our previous spot?” Wen Ke’an questioned, puzzled by the event.

“Maybe they thought it was a good spot,” Wen Qiangguo replied, not paying too much attention to it.

It seemed that many customers didn’t notice their new location, and today their sales didn’t sell out as fast as before. But Wen Qiangguo maintained a positive attitude and took his time, happily engaging in conversations with the customers.

In an inconspicuous corner, a group of young men were observing Wen Qiangguo’s stall.

Leading the group was a well-built teenager with muscular arms adorned with tattoos. He wore a black vest and had a fierce and intimidating appearance.

“This time, we received Fat Tou’s assignment, and it should be that guy selling braised food over there, Yao-ge.”

“Are you stupid? There’s only one braised food stall in this night market, and that’s the one over there.”

Li Yaobai withdrew his gaze, took a harsh drag from his cigarette, and then casually flicked the butt to the ground, nonchalantly twisting it with his foot. “This time, we’re just going to drive them away. Control your temper and don’t actually get into a fight. If anything goes wrong, I’ll finish you guys.”

“Sure thing, Yao-ge,” a thin young man behind Li Yao Bai teased with a smile, “I’ve noticed that ever since Yao-ge got beaten up by Ting-ge, you’ve finally grown up and learned to consider the bigger picture. Hahaha!”

Being reminded of his past scars, Li Yao Bai slapped the young man’s head angrily and said, “Shut up!”

The young man wasn’t upset about the slap and continued to smile, “But seriously, is the injury on your body healed? Ting-ge didn’t even show any mercy to you.”

“That’s enough,” Li Yaobai warned coldly, “If you dare bring up that incident again, let’s see if I should beat you to death or not.”

The young man immediately grabbed his head, “I won’t dare, I won’t dare anymore!”

“If it weren’t for owing Fat Tou a favor before, I wouldn’t bother with this kind of crap,” Li Yao Bai grumbled, feeling irritated as he kicked an empty beer bottle beside him. He looked ahead and said, “Let’s go make some trouble.”
