CHAPTER 17: BEAUTIFUL

Juan was now confident as she knows that she has customers who were dying to buy her rice in large quantities. As for being tracked, Juan didn’t need to worry about that as she has the farm with her.

If anyone seeks trouble, she will simply hide, bring her parents to the farm and see if those people will find her anywhere.

After posting the announcement, Juan also set her selling system to the auction one and browsed through other stores. She needed many things at the moment as she couldn’t live in an empty house.

Buying stuff online was cheaper sometimes so Juan didn’t hesitate to put some furniture into her cart and pay for them. The furniture was going to arrive in three days and she could wait for it.

She only bought a bed, a fridge, a two-plate stove with an oven, and some daily utensils. As for the rest, she didn’t have time to buy them so she was now going to make up for it.

After sorting the furniture problem, she went to her farm for more planting. With a lot of rice and tomatoes in her barn, she planted some onions and cabbages.

She had no idea how long it was going to take but even if takes more than a day, everything was still unscientific and she was looking forward to it. Juan spent a lot of time inside the farm and on the screen.

She was busy looking outside her home as she could see the nearby area even when inside. She hoped that one day she will be like the all-seeing eye and see everything.

It was only her wishful thinking anyway. After getting bored with watching the screen, she visited the store where she browsed through and smiled happily when she came across a category, she didn’t see the last time.

It seems she was capable of buying some small things there and getting them in real life. She was curious about many things and didn’t hesitate to spend her gold to buy some ice cream.

Looking at the small lunch of ice cream, she prayed that it was worth the price she bought it for otherwise she will not promote this money-sucking branch and just concentrate on buying and selling her produce.

The second the ice cream melted in her mouth, she closed her eyes and swung her legs happily. This was the most delicious ice cream she had ever eaten in her entire life and it was worth it.

Describing how she felt while eating it was just pointless as she wasn’t a gourmet and wouldn’t understand the terminology used there. She took her time to eat and when she was done, she regretted it but she took out the container back into her apartment for remembrance.

Juanita stayed in her apartment and didn’t go anywhere as she was dead tired and too lazy to go out. The next day, she took a shower and left the apartment. She decided to take a tour of the city and get to know more about Zlila as she had been pretty busy finding a place to stay.

Juanita experienced a sensational moment when she took a public bus that morning, the stares were simply too suffocating but she swallowed her anger down.

She even heard people whispering about her and calling her a monster and all she could do was just pretend as if she didn’t hear anything and did her own business.

After getting out of the suffocating bus, the first place where Juan went was a car dealer shop. At least there she was welcomed a bit better than when she went to that real estate agency.

“What kind of a car are you looking for, young miss?” the warm middle-aged man asked politely.

He was someone who had seen the world and he know that you mustn’t judge the book by its cover. This is the reason why he didn’t look down on this weird young lady even though the others did the same.

Being treated like this, Juan was in a good mood and she warmed up to the man, “I want something small, affordable, and convenient.”

Since she did not know cars, she decided to just tell the man what she was looking for. Anything fancy was something that she couldn’t afford at all.

Seeing that the young lady knew what she wanted, the man had a good impression of the other. As much as he would like a customer buying something expensive, he wouldn’t mind serving a customer like Juan too.

“I have some cars that you may like here, do you want to see them?” the man asked eagerly and Juan who just found what she wanted, followed the man.

[I can’t believe that he is serving someone like that. Those types of people will only waste your time and nothing good will come from them.]

[I wonder what he is doing this for!]

The people in question were now busy looking at the variety of cars and most of them Juan didn’t have any good feelings towards them. However, that stopped when she looked at this hatchback, it was grey and had an engine capacity of 1500 liters.

It was small and was to her liking and as for the name, it wasn’t one of the big and top names but a car is still a car in the end.

“I like this one!” she said excitedly as she looked at the car.

The man didn’t expect Juan to pick this car but he could tell that the other liked it so much so he told her everything about it and she nodded her head as she listened attentively.

Juan paid $30k for the car and was told to come and pick it up in the next two days when the blue book is in her name. Juan left dejectedly but she was still happy as having it two days later was better than taking public transport.

After purchasing a car and her bank account dwindling once more, Juan spent the rest of her day window shopping, buying what she found interesting and that was mostly clothes and some trinkets.

She bought some food when she was hungry too and when the day came to an end, she was so tired but she was in a very good mood.

She slept soundly that night and prayed that things will remain the same or become better in the future.
