章 80: Chapter 80: Left Out by Others

The next day, Ye Xinyan settled the rice tofu stall with her family and once again led Qi Jia to the Great Crane House.

Yesterday, Ye Xinyan had never intended to use Qi Jia's childish charm to gain favor with the proprietor of the Great Crane House; she was simply too busy with the morning stall to leave him unattended for fear he might wander off. She hadn't expected that it would actually turn out to her advantage at Shopkeeper He's establishment.
