Xia Zheng looked at him with disdain, "Nine years old? Nine years old and you're this short?" As he spoke, he hopped down from the horse carriage and gestured with his hand above Xiao Linzi's head and in front of his own chest, "When I was nine, I was this tall, nothing like you!"
Xiao Linzi's face turned beet red, he bit his lower lip tightly, wanting to say something but ultimately didn't. What could he say? He had suffered through hard labor and hunger as a child, of course he hadn't grown taller.
Fearing that the two would start fighting again, Lin Yuan hurriedly pulled Xia Zheng to the side, "Stop picking on Xiao Linzi, he's got to watch the shop for me. If you annoy him away, who will watch the shop for me?"
"I will!" Xia Zheng replied without thinking and immediately regretted it. Lin Yuan didn't go to the tofu shop every day, so if he watched the shop, would he still see her?
