Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1371 - 1360: Refusing to Be an Abused Female Lead

After Ye Qiu left the villa, Zhang Xianwei was angry for a while. A friend invited him to go out to sea to relax, so he went. When he returned and finally thought of Ye Qiu, he found that Ye Qiu’s family had really moved.

"They really moved? Is my impression in her mind that low? Does she really not trust me? Would I deliberately seek revenge?" The more Zhang Xianwei thought about it, the angrier he got, and he finally decided to have someone investigate Ye Qiu’s current whereabouts.

"Since you’re so distrustful of me, then I’ll fulfill your wish." He sneered coldly, like someone out of his mind.

Ye Qiu and her family moved to a new city called Luocheng. Luocheng and Ming City, where Zhang Xianwei lives, are two of the richest cities in this country. Ye Qiu came here not just for the bustling night market stalls but also because the second male lead, Cheng Ruiting, is in this city.

In a previous life, the original character was hurt by Zhang Xianwei again, came to this city pregnant, and then met Cheng Ruiting by chance. Cheng Ruiting, like all passionate second male leads in cliché dramas, was not only affectionate but also gentle, patient, and handsome—a man everyone liked except for the female lead.

Although Ye Qiu didn’t plan to complete the task in this world because she felt undeserving of Cheng Ruiting right now, she could still visit this open city. If Cheng Ruiting truly found someone he wholeheartedly loved in the future, she could help matchmake.

For convenience in setting up their stall, the mother and her two children rented a two-bedroom apartment near Luocheng’s most bustling night market. Although the rent wasn’t cheap, they had confidence in Ye Qiu’s culinary skills.

Rent needed to be paid to set up in the center of the night market, and the rent wasn’t cheap. After renting the house and buying materials, Ye Qiu’s family couldn’t afford the rent, but fortunately, no rent was required outside; only a management fee needed to be paid. Being new, unfamiliar with the place, and lacking connections, they didn’t dare to randomly occupy a good spot, so they simply set up in a corner.

They believed the delicious aroma would attract customers even from afar. They brought their stove along; surely someone would follow the scent.

"Young lady, you aren’t locals, are you? First time setting up a stall?" As soon as they placed their things, someone next to them started a conversation. It was an auntie selling household items, sitting leisurely, seemingly indifferent to business.

"Yes, we just arrived." Chen Ju flashed a friendly smile, "We’re new here, Sister, is anyone occupying this spot?"

"Who’s gonna come all the way out here in such a remote spot? Why not go in a bit?" The auntie seemed slightly disappointed, as if thinking they were too shy.

"It’s our first time. We’re afraid of taking someone else’s spot and causing trouble, so we’re checking first." Chen Ju smiled, as if unconcerned, "Sister, why did you, being a local, also pick such a far-off spot?"

"I sell household items. My own shop is right behind, and I don’t need to pay a management fee, so I’m casually setting up. Usually, my business is mostly from the neighbors around." The auntie was kind and moved her chair closer to Ye Qiu’s family, "It’s good to be cautious your first time here. Once you’re familiar, it’s fine; whoever is capable gets the front spots."

As she said this, she sniffed, "You guys are selling marinated dishes? It smells quite good!"

She became increasingly tempted, so she stood up to see what Ye Qiu’s family was selling, "Slice me some of that pig’s head meat and give me a pound of those chicken feet."

"Thank you, Sister." Chen Ju smiled broadly, "I’ll give you a discount."

But the auntie firmly refused, "That’s not okay. You just opened up today. How can the price be discounted? If you truly want to thank me, you can give me some lotus root slices next time I buy."

Chen Ju added quite a bit of dried bean curd and lotus root slices despite the auntie’s refusal, saying, "It’s not anything valuable; we’ll need your care in the future, Sister."

With that, the auntie accepted, looking at Ye Guo weighing and charging for the marinated dishes. She liked Ye Qiu’s family more and more, "Young lady, is this your daughter and son? Young people are willing to come out and help set up the stall; they’re really sensible."

Chen Ju looked at Ye Qiu’s family and just smiled, "Their father passed away early. I’ve always been in poor health. What choice do they have if they aren’t sensible? If we hadn’t offended someone back home, we wouldn’t have had to leave everything behind."

The auntie listened sympathetically and comforted, "No matter what happened before, having these two children makes it all worth it."

"You’re right."

The two chatted while Ye Guo packed things for her. The auntie sniffed the aroma eagerly, grabbing some to eat right away. She tried a lotus root slice first, then her eyes widened as she gave a thumbs-up to Chen Ju’s family without delay.

"Look at you, can’t wait to eat. Is it really that good?" Her husband came out, saw the marinated dishes, and was tempted, grabbing a chicken foot. He didn’t have time to talk either, as it was truly delicious. It was the first time eating marinated dishes with such urgency.

Their eating attracted the attention of passersby who wandered over. The young couple’s plan was to eat the famous stir-fried rice noodles at the night market, and they thought buying some marinated dishes would be nice, so they bought half a pound.

After the couple left, the auntie finally swallowed the lotus root slice in her mouth and unabashedly praised, "Young lady, your marinated dishes are really excellent. I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it—your business will surely thrive."

Chen Ju was even happier hearing that, "Thank you for your kind words, Sister."

"My husband’s surname is Li. Neighbors generally call us Brother Li and Sister Li; you can call us that too. Wait here, I’ll bring some customers for you." Having enjoyed some delicious food, the enthusiastic Sister Li couldn’t help but think of her neighbors, and soon, thanks to her enthusiastic recommendation, many people gathered around Ye Qiu’s stall.

"Hey, Sister Li, these marinated dishes you recommended are really good; they smell amazing." The neighbors started swallowing eagerly as well.

"Smell that?" Sister Li laughed proudly, "Would I ever recommend something bad for you to buy? I was tempted by the aroma just now."

"Thank you, uncles and aunties, for your support. These are samples; try them and see what you like before buying." Seeing that they were neighbors, Ye Qiu simply took out a tray with samples of everything, sticking toothpicks in for people to try.

"Nowadays, it’s rare to see such diligent young ladies."

"This handsome young man is also nice."

The neighbors praised them as they each grabbed something to try, not stopping until the tray was empty.
