Chapter 1204 Lost ability to speak
Nan Yan on the other hand rolled his eyes and then said, " Did you think that my sister and I were lying, Daddy? We were speaking the truth alright. Buying vegetables and meat in this mall is a battle and if we are not careful and quick then we might even lose what we have picked so.. you better hurry before the stock runs out."
" Ah, are you saying that the stock will run out so soon?"
" Of course! Look at the crowd. It would be a surprise if we could get some high-quality pork belly this time around. Ah, I really wanted to buy a catty! And those red cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. We need those too."
" I need to buy some eggplants, my grandfather ate it at his friend's house and was clamouring about it. If I do not bring those eggplants with me then my grandpa will give me an earful of lecture."
Nan Yan and Qiu Li turned to look at one another before they handed the list to their daddies and said, " Daddy, I will take care of the vegetables and you shall take care of the eggs and meat. Make sure that you conquer over others!"
" Alright!"
Yu Dong on the other hand watched as the crowd rushed past the shelves and started buying as much as possible. When she saw that nothing was wrong she headed inside the office before taking a look at the expenses and the earnings of her mall.

She was about to note down the plan for ice candies, bakery and many other things that she had planned when she heard someone quarrelling outside.
A frown was etched on Yu Dong's face as she pushed herself from the chair, in fact, she wanted to stay inside as she could hear the voices of the people quarrelling outside and from the sound of it, the two people were more likely mers.
However, as the boss of the mall, she had to step out and deal with this matter while disregarding the gender of the people who were quarrelling outside.
"What's wrong? What is the matter gentlemen?" She asked after stepping out of her office. When she came to a stop in front of the two mers who were quarrelling Yu Dong looked at the two mers who were red in the face after quarrelling for so long.
The mer with red robes turned to look at Yu Dong and then said with an aggrieved voice, " Madam Yu, please try to make this Lord understand that I really need to buy three sacks of spiritual rice. I have two daughters and both of them are appearing for scholar exams. One is appearing for the elementary one and the other one is appearing for the Higher Scholarly exams.
I really need to stock up on rice for the two of them as this period is really stressful for the two of them."
" Madam Yu, it's not that I am not understanding but I also need to buy these rice sacks.
Just like this lord, my eldest son is also appearing in the scholar exams, everyone knows how hard it is for children at this time of the year," the other mer spoke to Yu Dong with a firm voice if not for the fact that his face was not flushed Yu Dong would have never thought that a mer like him would quarrel with someone as the mer looked too gentle and kind.
But then again any parent would do anything for their child.
" Oh is it that time of the year again?" Chen Mi stopped what he was doing and spoke to the two mers. Since Yu Dong needed to deal with mer, men and women together, Chen Mi and the rest decided that one of them would follow Yu Dong every day to make sure that she would not be in an awkward situation.
Chen Mi turned to look at Yu Dong who looked confused and then said, " They are talking about the scholar exams that happen every year before the official exams."
He thought that Yu Dong was unaware of the scholar exams which was why she was looking at the two mers like this.
When Yu Dong heard Chen Mi's explanation she was speechless does it look like she was unaware of everything that was happening around her? She was just thinking about how to use the exam heat to earn a small sum of money.
If she was not wrong then there used to be some toys which were sold with good luck and best wishes embroidered on them in the modern world before she was born. She had seen one in her father's study room before he threw everything away that was given to him by her grandmother after a fight.
Maybe she could use it for the time being? At least it was better than nothing.
After she was done cleaning up her thoughts, she looked at the two mers and then said, "Gentlemen there is no need to fight all right? Even if you buy two to three sacks nothing will change. You can always come to the mall and reserve an extra sack by paying in advance. We do have reserve systems but it's only limited to ten customers and ten catties of total stock."
When the mers heard that there was such a system they stopped fighting one another. The reason they were quarrelling like such was that they were afraid that they wouldn't get a chance to buy another sack of rice but since there was a reservation system they didn't need to create a fuss.
On the other side of the village.
" Hello, may I know where Miss Yu lives?" A mer dressed in silk brocade looked at Village Head Gu who seemed to have lost her ability to talk. It was not that she did not want to say anything, it was just that the mer was too beautiful and rich! She had never seen someone like this before and couldn't bring herself to talk with a mer who seemed this rich and elegant!
