Seeing how much the woman really wanted to buy a hen, Lu Siyuan was very accommodating. He, too, wanted to make another sale, but if the woman wasn't willing to wait, there was nothing he could do.
Mianmian had just said that this chicken was to be kept, so it would be kept.
"My daughter has just had a baby not too long ago, I want to buy one now, stew it all afternoon, and have her drink it tonight..."
As the woman was speaking, suddenly someone called out in surprise, "Big sister, you're here to buy groceries too?"
Hearing the voice, both the woman and Lu Siyuan turned to look, only to see the old lady who had reserved the old hen yesterday, cheerfully walking over with a basket in hand.
"Oh my! Mother-in-law, your timing is perfect. I was planning on buying a chicken to nourish my daughter, but they insist it's been reserved by someone else and no matter what I say, they just won't sell it to me."
Mother-in-law?
Turns out they were buying for the same person?
