Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 910: Picking a Fight

On Zhao Jingmiao’s first day here, she had anticipated all sorts of things might happen along the way, but she never expected this. She saw the girl acting so overbearing, and although the people nearby were busy with their own business, their eyes kept glancing over.

If she caved in today, then in a couple of days when she found another spot, she’d surely face the same situation.

"I’m sorry, I can’t give you this spot," Zhao Jingmiao said, "Please move aside and don’t block my business."

Oh, a newcomer and an out-of-towner, yet she has such a spine.

Lin Hong laughed and said, "Then don’t blame me for being impolite."

With that, she was about to overturn Zhao Jingmiao’s stall.

"What’s going on?" Just at that moment, a voice came through.

"Brother Leopard." Lin Hong immediately smiled sweetly and said, "You’re finally here. This little girl doesn’t know the rules and took my spot."

What a case of the villain complaining first.

"Took your spot?" Brother Leopard chuckled and glanced at Zhao Jingmiao, who lowered her head and also called out, "Brother Leopard."

"New here?" Brother Leopard asked Zhao Jingmiao.

"Yes." Zhao Jingmiao nodded.

"Do you know the rules here?" Brother Leopard asked.

"I know a bit." Zhao Jingmiao quickly lowered her head, pulled out three yuan from her money pouch, and handed it over, "This... this is my stall fee."

The big sister next to her breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like this girl is smart, all the more reason for what she said earlier.

Lin Hong’s smile froze on her face.

Brother Leopard pocketed the money and lazily eyed Lin Hong, "Since when did the rules here change?"

"Brother Leopard, I didn’t mean it that way... I..." Lin Hong hurriedly explained.

But Brother Leopard wouldn’t listen anymore, "Quickly take your things, move to another spot, and don’t get in the way of people doing business."

Lin Hong, "..."

She wanted to say more but saw Brother Leopard had already impatiently moved to the next stall, and that big sister had her money ready long before.

Lin Hong was furious but had no choice. She glared at Zhao Jingmiao and left with her belongings.

This spot wasn’t hers either, but she was also selling clothes. Seeing that Zhao Jingmiao’s business was good and it was her first time here, she thought to switch to this spot.

She didn’t expect to run into a tough nut.

This newcomer unexpectedly had a backbone and was so perceptive; no wonder her business was so good.

From a distance, Zhao Xuefei and his two friends also breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that even those collecting protection fees had standards.

Unfortunately, they relaxed too soon.

Because it was the first day, Zhao Jingmiao didn’t bring much. By the time Brother Leopard had collected all the protection fees and came back around, she had nearly sold out of the clothes at her stall.

"Business is pretty good, I see." Brother Leopard said with a smirk.

"Just earning a living." Zhao Jingmiao replied mildly with her head down.

"If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me." Brother Leopard said and even went to help her pack up.

"No need, I can do it myself." Zhao Jingmiao dared not allow it, quickly saying.

"That’s fine." Brother Leopard said, "From now on, you’re under my protection. I’d like to see who dares to bully you."

He gave Zhao Jingmiao a deep look and then left.

"Sister." The big sister next to her looked at Zhao Jingmiao worriedly and whispered, "Maybe you should find another place,"

She said this quickly and left.

Zhao Jingmiao, "..."

Why is it so hard to just do some business?
