Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 321

Those bright, bright little eyes turned into two dull little bright spots, and he stammered, "W-what?"

The child said softly, enunciating each word: "You! Were! Cheated!!"

"Ah?" Fatty took a few quick steps, pushed through the crowd and looked at the man selling the donkey.

The cattle dealer had already run away, otherwise the child wouldn't have dared to come near.

Chubby was stunned for a moment and then asked the child: "What did he lie to me about? Isn't his father dead?"

"His mother isn't ill, but I don't know if he has any brothers or sisters. Anyway, he's very rich. Do you want to buy some lotus roots?"

The child took the opportunity to speak.

Chubby: "Then you, what you just said about dad and mom, is that true?"

The child frowned and paused for a moment: "If it's true, do you want to buy some lotus roots?"

Chubby: ...

"How can people here be like this? I've been cheated, and you still want to sell your lotus roots!"

"I wasn't cheated," the child muttered, then advised, "Don't be angry. Every failure makes you wiser. Why don't you buy some lotus roots? Eating them crispy might make you feel better."

Chubby: ...

"Alright, even if what he said was false, at least the donkey is really good and so strong, so it's not a loss. How much are your lotus roots?"

He came to his senses in an instant and even touched the donkey.

The child was a little hesitant: "Is it possible that it is not strong but just lazy?"

"What?" Chubby was stunned again.

The donkey seemed to understand something and looked at the child.

She recognized the look and retreated a little: "Is it possible that it is not only lazy, but also likes to kick its ass?"

"Ah?" Chubby was even more stunned.

The donkey let out a "hmm" and rushed forward, bumping into the child. The child was so agile that he disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The fat guy who was holding the rope staggered and fell on his back. The wind blew gently, the sky was blue, and a big donkey's face appeared above his head, and the hot air it exhaled blew on his face.

A donkey-like face that looks loyal and kind, with eyes that are very concerned.

Chubby thought: Maybe that little girl was the one who lied to me. This donkey doesn’t look bad.

"From now on, you can call me Zhen Laoshi. Come with me into the mountains to practice, and you must work hard."

Zhen Laoshi snorted.

Chubby slowly sat up and stroked the donkey's body with his hand. Surprisingly, sweet dew descended and the old and new whip marks disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhen Laoshi shook his body, shook his head, and shouted happily with his head raised.

Chubby nodded: "This looks much better. Let's go shopping and dress you up."

A man and a donkey stepped on the fragmented light from the sun and disappeared into the crowd.

The child who hid far away: ...

"So it's an alien, what a waste of words!"

There was no need for her to waste her breath on such a person.

The child stayed at the dock for half a day before finally getting some information. There were indeed people buying lotus roots, and they were selling them for more than ten cents per pound. They wanted them urgently, and they had said they would leave today.

It was a fishing boat, and they only accepted fish sent by acquaintances. Even if they found a child, they would have to stand aside. Even if someone wanted her fish, they would bargain for it, just like selling it to someone else.

What's the point of fussing about it? You might as well keep it for yourself and go home!

The child thought to himself: No wonder they left in such a hurry.

If the ship leaves later, we won’t be able to sell them.

Aunt Yu was right. They were indeed not kind. They spoke so vaguely that the child made a wasted trip.

What's even more abominable is that after the child's stall finally opened, her family also started selling snacks like lotus root powder and always sold snacks one cent cheaper than the children's. Not two, three, or four cents, but one cent. Everything that was the same was sold one cent cheaper than theirs.

How is this different from provocation?!

The neighbors are more familiar with them, so they will naturally go to them to buy first, which makes the business here for the children very quiet.

It is God's blessing that two or three customers come in a day.

The child and Aunt Yu ate lotus root powder one meal and candied lotus root the next. They had almost finished their own food, but the other side was still doing business.

Where do so many lotus roots come from?

Even if they were late that day and the lotus root collectors had left, they only had one cart of lotus roots. How come it seemed like they had more than enough?

The child sat at the window of the shed, looking out sadly.

My ears are filled with praises——

"Little Frog, your lotus root powder is so fragrant."

“Stir-fried lotus root is also good, very crispy.”

"The lotus root dumplings are made with genuine ingredients, probably fish meat."

“Yummy, so delicious!”

"If you ask me, why are you still selling fish? Why not just turn it into a snack stand?"

The diners' cheerful and contented conversations are pleasant to the ears.

The food sizzles and emits a fragrant aroma when put into the frying pan.

The sound of the copper coins falling into the money box was extremely light.

Aunt Yu swung the feather duster vigorously, making a whirring sound, all the way through the air, and muttered, "It's so annoying, so annoying, the whole place is filled with the smell of oil smoke!"

The child also thought: I’m so annoyed, so annoyed, I can’t make any money!

What's even more annoying is that some people are jealous of the little money they earn. Although there are no other extraordinary people doing this, some non-extraordinary people come out and say that they have inherited the bone-kneading technique from their ancestors.

Bone pinching. The child thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was. It wasn't until she saw the people at the stall that she understood. They must be talking about bone touching. After all... they were all fortune-telling...

There are actually people who believe them, because they look older and are very convincing, and they talk in a very exaggerated way. It's just that the shed is a bit simple, and people still go there just by covering it with a cloth.

This is how to do ah!

"How about we make it cheaper?"

"Girl, this is cheap enough. We barely make any profit. If we make it any cheaper, we'll lose money. Firewood and water also cost money!"

"Oh, that's true. Why do they act like they don't want any money?" The child's doubts grew more and more.

"Who knows? Maybe there's a way. They catch their own fish and dig their own lotus roots for free. They just have to pay for the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and other condiments..."

At this point, Aunt Yu also felt that something was not right. Even if calculated in this way, it was still sold too cheaply.

There are more customers and more work, but if I can only make a little money, what's the point of all this trouble?

There is a problem, there must be a problem!

It wasn't just the child and Aunt Yu who thought so.

Xu Laoliu, the owner of the wine shop whose business was taken away, also felt that something was wrong. The livestock dealer and his family were also a little jealous and very concerned.

Old man Li, who sells roasted nuts, was also thinking about it, but he didn't think much about it. Business was good over there, many people came, and more people were selling roasted nuts.

The one who had the biggest objection was Aunt Qian Ya from the clothing appraisal shop. Her shop was closest to the Sun family's stall.

She used to be unhappy about the fishy smell everywhere when selling fish there, but now they just fry, stir-fry and deep-fry them. Is she still going to continue her business?

It is true that she sells old clothes and inferior products with poor workmanship, but they are all washed clean and well-maintained. They are passed down from ancestors and are well-received.

Ever since the Sun family opened the fish stall, her business has been getting worse day by day.

It makes sense. Who would want nice clothes if they smell like fish? There are more than one clothing stores in the city.

In the past, her clothes were a little more expensive than others because they looked neat and tidy.

As soon as the Sun family's business opened, it blocked her fortune...

She had tolerated it before, but now she really couldn't stand it anymore!

What a bully!

Your family wants to do business, right?

Seeing the two customers smelling the clothes but not buying them and going straight to eat the lotus root dumplings, Aunt Qian Ya became furious all of a sudden, hotter than a frying pan.

He rolled up his sleeves and went out to curse.

It started with theories, then insults, and finally rumors.

What dead human flesh, rat meat, and crispy lotus roots soaked in lime water? What nonsense.

Even the little wolf in the soul banner said, "That's not the same taste."

This is for experienced customers. Few inexperienced customers would believe it. Only two or three people who didn't want to pay would follow suit and make a fuss.

The other guests found it a bit annoying.

It's disgusting that such a thing happened while having a good meal.

Aunt Qian Ya made such a fuss that the Sun family's business could no longer continue. Sun Xiaowa also started making a fuss with a spoon in his hand, saying that her family's clothes were also stripped from the dead, stolen from graves, and stolen from other places.

If her mother hadn't stopped them, the two would have fought.

Everyone around was watching the fun.

The children and the wine shop clerk and owner were the happiest watching, and Aunt Yu almost laughed out loud.

The sadness of their companions brought them great joy...

This matter is not over yet. Aunt Qian Ya is in conflict with them. She scolds them every day, making it impossible for anyone to do business properly.

Gradually, some people began to persuade them to move away.

One day, when the child and Aunt Yu were about to lock up their house and go home, Sun Xiaowa and her parents came to their door.

He said straight to the point: "Auntie, we want to rent your stall and buy this shed at the same time. Please take a look at it and if so, I will give you a price."

Child:……

Aunt Yu: ...

What do you mean?

This is preparation, it has been moved, but not all of it has been moved. Will it be opened on the opposite side to piss off everyone?

Don't say anything else.

“We’re not planning to sell it.”

The child said unhappily.

But they ignored her and continued to look at Aunt Yu, as if she was the one in charge.

Aunt Yu really had the final say over the child; what he ate, what he wore, and even the money was all collected from her.

But she would never tell her children what to do or not to do, even if she knew that the stall was not making money and should be sold as soon as possible, she would not do that.

"No, find someone else."

Aunt Yu's tone was very harsh. She held the feather duster in her hand and dusted the table casually, but she was dusting it towards them. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not welcome, and the child was glaring at them.

Sun Xiaowa's parents felt a little uncomfortable. They touched their noses, scratched their heads and looked at Sun Xiaowa.

Not only did she not care, she also smiled and said, "Auntie, please don't be anxious. Listen to me, we are here with sincerity. I know that my family has not been very righteous recently, and we have put pressure on your business, but our businesses do not conflict. If you can give the stall to us, we will not let you suffer any loss. This is what I mean. My family's business is good. We are planning to open another stall over at the dock. We are short of manpower, so we can hire you to work. People over there are strong-arm people, so it is inevitable that their backs will hurt. The massage business is also better over there. Wouldn't it be better to make money together?"

The child's eyes fell on her hands and feet. The nails painted with marigold pollen were still so bright. The child could sometimes see her taking a break from her busy schedule to look in the mirror.

No matter how many things she has to deal with, she never gets overwhelmed and manages everything with ease, like an adult. Even her parents listen to her. She's really amazing...

The child looked at Aunt Yu, who seemed a little moved and did not answer for a moment.

But she said firmly, "No! You guys do your business, and we do ours. No matter how much you earn, it's none of our business. But the dock is indeed a good idea. I'll go find customers tomorrow! I learned this from you!"

Just like they learned from children how to make lotus root powder and eat it.

If this hadn't happened, the child might have been moved, but that's absolutely impossible now!

She would rather give up her job, become a contract slave, or work in another store than get involved with Sun Xiaowa and the others!

Aunt Yu said, "I'll listen to my daughter."
