Chapter 2. Meant

The sky turned orange, and the sun was coming out. I stretched my body in front of our window. Grandma and I will sell fish again so that I have money for school. This is our routine every day after I go to school.

“Grandma, I’ll just sell fish outside the house,” I told her when I saw her coughing.

She shook her head and smiled at me. “Okay, just come with me. It’s better to have exercise than nothing. Come on!”

I immediately snatched the fish basket from her hand. I put that on my head while the other was in my hand. We were walking towards the fish market.

“I’m annoyed with your grandfather. I said he’d stop fishing, and we’ll have vegetables in the backyard, but he’s stubborn. Look at him now, and he’s sick.”

I just took a deep breath while listening to what she was saying. I was chilling in the cold breeze, but I ignored it. It was so early in the morning.

Many people were already choosing in the flea market, so I quickly placed our fish.
