“Don’t be ridiculous. Get out of here. I’ll get the goods from your place later. I want two today.”

He Xiao also stopped fooling around and carried Chen Baiyi into the room, then placed her on the bed. “Rest well. I’ll get someone to send it over later. You were tired last night.” After saying that, He Xiao kissed Chen Baiyi’s forehead and left.

Chen Baiyi realized in hindsight that He Xiao had flirted with her. Her face blushed and she cursed silently, “B*stard!” After finally sending He Xiao away, Chen Baiyi tidied herself up. The lackey that He Xiao called last time was here. “Miss Chen, here are your two pig heads.” Chen Baiyi was shocked to see him arrive so quickly. She knew that it was He Xiao who told him to do so, and she thanked him.

The lackey smiled and said, “It’s all Brother Xiao’s idea. Don’t thank me. Miss Chen, thank Brother Xiao.”

Chen Baiyi smiled and didn’t say anything. After sending him off, she entered the door to prepare the braised pig head meat. Before she returned last night, she had bought condiments at the market, so she didn’t have to trouble Auntie Lin today. Chen Baiyi began to braise the pig head meat like she did yesterday. She removed the hair, removed the bones, and marinated it. In one go, she worked until the afternoon. When she was hungry, she found something to fill her stomach.

Since she could earn money again, Chen Baiyi was invigorated. She had made an extra pig head today. If she could sell all of it, she would earn even more money. After she was ready, Chen Baiyi went straight to the market. When she arrived at the market, there were already people at the place where she stayed yesterday. She could only find a new spot. After setting up the stall, she started shouting, “Pig head meat, I’m selling braised pig head meat.”

Many people came when they heard her voice. “You’re finally here. Hurry up and give me some.”

When Chen Baiyi saw that today’s business was better than yesterday’s, she was both happy and relieved. She was happy that this business was indeed profitable. She was glad that she had made an extra one. “Don’t worry, I made more today.”

In a few hours, the two pig’s heads were sold out. Chen Baiyi walked home happily with the money. Before she reached the door, she heard a commotion. Chen Baiyi did not notice it at first, but the closer she got to the house, the louder the commotion became. She saw that there were many people surrounding her door! What was going on?

Someone saw Chen Baiyi and shouted, “Chen Baiyi is back!”

“This lady is so young. How did she kill so many people?!”

The people around were discussing animatedly. When Chen Baiyi heard this person’s words, a bad feeling welled up in her heart. However, she still suppressed the panic and asked calmly, “Why are you guys surrounding my door?”

When they heard Chen Baiyi’s voice, everyone automatically made way for her. Chen Baiyi walked forward. She did not know if it was her imagination, but she realized that everyone seemed to be unwilling to touch her and was staying far away from her. When she reached the door, Chen Baiyi saw a person leaning against the cart and crying. There was a person lying on the cart, and that person seemed to be dead.

When the person who was crying saw that Chen Baiyi had returned, the person pointed at her agitatedly and scolded, “My family member died after eating the pig head meat you made yesterday. You’re a jinx. Not only do you jinx people to death, but even the meat you make also jinx people to death.”

“You jinx, you’ll die a horrible death…”

The person felt that just scolding her wasn’t enough. The person wanted to hit Chen Baiyi, but because the person could not stand steadily, the person was supported by a passerby.
