Chapter 249: Female Trouble (3)
In my past life, as a child, I loved going to the market with my mother.
After all, in the 90s when only the strong survived, children had almost nothing to play with except rusty playground equipment that posed a risk of tetanus.
But at the market, I could see all sorts of things, and if I helped carry the bags diligently, Mom would often pull out her wallet and buy me a snack.
‘Though I did get a smack for tactlessly asking for fried chicken the day I got a 20 on my dictation…’
It was a long time ago, but it remains a warm memory nestled in a corner of my heart.
But there was one thing I never quite got used to in the lively market: the war called haggling.
Buying bean sprouts worth five hundred won, yet getting charged six hundred won or paying four hundred won—that battle.
Being young and tender-hearted back then, I found it hard to endure the scene where every word that came out of my mouth felt like a bullet.
And now, having transcended time and space to be reborn in the world of martial arts, I witnessed those mothers’ battles unfold before my eyes once more.
“So what if it’s a rumor? Right, everyone?”
“Of course. Master Jeonryong is already twenty-four years old. Isn’t he past the prime age for marriage?”
“Exactly. Even if he’s been busy laying the foundation for the Jeonryongdang all this time, he really should start seriously considering marriage now.”
Even though I strongly explained it was a baseless rumor, not only did they refuse to listen, they even started arguing over me.
