Chapter 55: Tian Gui Hua
Although he said so, his tone was still proud, and Zhong Gensheng couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Only that little girl has those clever ideas..."
"Yeah, otherwise what can we eat? The dividends have all been distributed, and the villagers don't necessarily appreciate us, thinking it's a matter of course..." He Axiu smiled: "You're just too honest..."
Zhong Gensheng sulked and didn't speak, after a long while, he weeded the grass for a bit and said: "...... At worst, in the future, you and Tuni will be in charge at home, can't I just work?!"
He Axiu smiled and said, "What can I be in charge of? Tuni is a decisive one. In the future when she grows up, there will also be someone to take care of things at home."
The couple almost regarded Shen Sisi as their future daughter-in-law and personally raised her with their own hands, so they liked her no matter how they looked at her.
Today, the four of them took turns carrying two large baskets of chestnuts into the city to sell. The three brothers took turns carrying and walking, which wasn't tiring at all. They had also eaten extra meals last night and this morning, so they were all very happy and excited about being able to earn money. Each one was in high spirits as they entered the city, and the four of them, who were already used to it, split into two groups and continued selling chestnuts with ease.
Shen Sisi found that Tian Guifang was also selling chestnuts with her three daughters-in-law not far away, and the wronged Niu Xiaohua. The few chestnuts in front of the stall were not just the ones picked by Niu Xiaohua yesterday afternoon.
Niu Xiaohua also found her, awkwardly smiled at her, then lowered his head.
Shen Sisi didn't mind, and continued to sell chestnuts. The four of them were already familiar faces, and the regular customers who had bought from them two days ago were also used to buying from them. Half a catty or one catty was slowly sold out, and it only took about an hour.
Shen Sisi saw that the chestnuts in front of Tian Guihua's stall hadn't sold well, so she smiled. She had noticed this before, and some customers who tried one or two chestnuts found them to be average in taste, so they didn't want to buy any more. Tian Guihua wouldn't give up, yelling at people to come and buy from her, making a scene that was really ugly. When someone finally gave in and bought a catty of chestnuts for five cents, she still quibbled over giving them a few extra chestnuts, haggling with the customer over just a few nuts. This attracted a lot of onlookers, and several incidents of forced buying and selling happened around this time. In the end, everyone gradually realized that they would rather stay far away from their stall...
Now, they haven't sold much either. Tian Guihua is a shrewd person, she sees that business is good on this side, her eyes are gleaming with envy and jealousy, why do their businesses do better than hers when the chestnuts are the same? Her eyes turned red in an instant. At this time, seeing Shen Sisi and others selling out completely, her face looked even more unpleasant.
As soon as he got angry, he went to pinch Niú Xiǎo Huā's ear and scolded: "Does that dead girl have any other secret recipes she hasn't told you?! You just blindly believed her?! Now look, they've all been sold out, but ours haven't even moved. You little dead girl, if we can't sell them and end up losing money, I'll make you eat every last one of them... Think about how much salt and sugar we put in, this is going to be a huge loss, dead girl..."
She vented her anger on Niu Xiaohua, and was also heartbroken about the money for salt and sugar. For a while, her face turned green, attracting people on the road to point and whisper.
Shen Sisi saw it and only slightly twitched the corner of her mouth, but didn't say much, nor was she interested in continuing to watch. She took the three brothers and walked away with the cymbal frame on their backs, secretly rejoicing that they had picked up Tian Guihua instead of themselves.
