Under the threat of Wade, Sue finally got up from the ground and stopped her tantrum.
"And grandma, you have to apologize to Celia and Wendy. They are family. You shouldn't have abused them like that."
Wade was the only grandson of the Tang family, Sue was very fond of him. He was sent to school at a very young age. Most of the people from the Tang family were unreasonable and hot-tempered, but Wade was a relatively well-behaved and righteous young man.
"Wade, we're family. Grandma worked so hard to send you to school. Why do you to speak for others?"
Sue did not expect that her grandson bumped into her today, and she also did not know that he would speak for Wendy and her daughter. She was also very disappointed.
"Grandma, the teacher has taught us to help others, and Celia is our family."
As he spoke, he smiled at Celia. He thought everyone in his class would envy him because he had such a beautiful sister.
"You..."
Covering her chest with one hand, Sue was on the verge of breaking down.
"Grandma, if you don't apologize for what you did, I won't go to school tomorrow."
Wade said seriously.
"I can't do nothing to you."
Sue was afraid of nothing, except her grandson. She had to obey whatever he said.
"Grandma, will you apologize or not?"
"Apologize! Of course I will apologize."
At this time, Sue really wanted to kill Wendy and her daughter.
"Okay, be sincere!"
Wade demanded.
"I'm sorry!"
Sue yelled at the sky, her voice full of anger, and everyone knew that there was not an atom of sincerity in her apology.
"What attitude?"
"I agree with you."
"Good for you, Wade. No wonder you are such a promising student."
For the apology of Sue, before Celia was discontented, these villagers protested in advance. What kind of apology was that?
"I'm not gonna apologize to you, you gossip women. you don't need to bark around here like a wild dog."
Sue was outraged. It was impossible for her to lose her temper to her grandson, so she just vent out his anger to those irrelevant people. Moreover, those women were fond of gossiping things at leisure, how could they criticize her now.
"You..."
The villagers wanted to retort, but they didn't want to be scolded by Sue for no reason.
"Sorry for what?"
Celia finally broke the silence. Looking at how arrogant and domineering Sue was, she felt so sad for her. She was glad that she could go back to this time and escaped from this kind of life with Wendy.
"You ungrateful wretch! Don't be insatiable!"
"Celia, I'm really sorry,"
"If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. It's not easy for you and your mother to earn a living."
The women felt a bit ashamed, and the men around all stood up and expressed their opinions.
"Thank you, uncles. But I don't need your help. I'm capable and I'll manage my own life with my mother. But I think I need to tell you one thing."
Celia was not a stubborn person. Since they had apologized, their husbands also made a clear stand. Celia didn't think she should continue to be angry. It would be hypocritical if things went too far.
"What is it?"
The men nodded immediately.
"I've been selling eggs lately. I purchase eggs and sell them in the town. If you have eggs in your houses, you can sell them to me, or we can take eggs to exchange for living goods, such as salt and soap."
Celia said. The villagers gathered here and, of course, she could not waste this good resource. It was just the right time to have an advertisement, so that the villagers would know that she was buying eggs. Tomorrow she would have to prepare 300 eggs to the breakfast stores.
"What price?"
The women were interested in it. Most of them had never been out of the village or even in town all their lives, let alone do some business. Every time when they had eggs at home, they were happy, but a little bit worried. If they could sell it in a town, it would take them at least half a day and occupied most of their time. In that case, they would rather do some work in at home.
"If you sell it on the street, you can get 20 or 21 cents per egg. My price is 18 cents per egg."
Celia said.
"What? It's two cents lower than that of the town."
Although they didn't know much about math, they knew the price.
