Liu Jinfeng was also a smart person. She could tell from Chu Yue's sarcasm that a look of embarrassment flashed across her face, but thinking about why she came here, she had to put on a smile again.

"Big sister, are you blaming me for not standing up to help you? That's not right. Those hooligans are tall and fierce, and they look hard to deal with. Look at me, I have skinny arms and legs like you. If I stand up, I will just get beaten. I'm not as strong as you."

When Liu Jinfeng spoke, she deliberately raised her hand, looking very weak.

In fact, her arms were as thick as table legs, more than a circle bigger than Chu Yue's arms. She had the nerve to say that she had thin arms and legs. She was so shameless.

Chu Yue glanced at her sideways and responded calmly, "Really?"

She picked up the feather duster on the counter. She used this feather duster to beat up the gangster in the morning. The wooden handle was very strong and did not break at all, only a few feathers fell off.

Chu Yue was holding a feather duster, fiddling with things here and there, looking very busy, but she was actually indicating something.

Liu Jinfeng looked at the feather duster and immediately remembered Chu Yue holding the feather duster vigorously in the morning. Her heart suddenly started throbbing violently, it was so scary.

Fortunately, although she and Chu Yue had conflicts, they did not really break up and were still polite to each other on the surface. Otherwise, if Chu Yue really got angry and hit her with a feather duster, she would really not be able to beat him.

She is obviously a young girl, but she has a military commander behind her and Young Master Pei as her backer. No wonder she is so cruel when she beats people.

Liu Jinfeng struggled for a while but didn't leave. She continued to smile at the wrinkled face, "Big sister, your chickens are selling well today? I see there are two left outside the door, I'll buy one."

Chu Yue now understood that the man had gone through so much trouble just to buy a chicken.

Chu Yue put down the feather duster and said, "There are two left. Aunt Liu, you can pick any one you want. Chicken is one dollar per pound."

"One dollar?" Liu Jinfeng's hand, which was about to take the money happily, stopped, her eyes widened and she said in a loud voice, "Why is it only one dollar? I clearly heard that it was 80 cents per pound this morning. These are all leftovers, why are they getting more and more expensive? Big sister, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

"Aunt Liu, you are a customer as soon as you enter the door. How could I deliberately embarrass you? Didn't you see the big sign at the door of our store a while ago? 20% off for reservations! Pork costs one dollar per pound, and 20% off is 80 cents. Those who make reservations in advance are sold at 80 cents, and those who don't make reservations are sold at one dollar. I don't see your name on the reservation form?"

"Um... I didn't make a reservation..." Liu Jinfeng smiled awkwardly, her face full of wrinkles.

A chicken weighs at least 15 to 20 kilograms. The difference between one dollar and 80 cents is 0.2 cents, which means a difference of one to two dollars for a chicken. We must save every penny we can.

Liu Jinfeng continued to try to get close to Chu Yue in order to get 20% off on chicken. "Big sister, we are both doing business on the same street, so we are neighbors. It is said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. For the sake of our friendship, you can sell to me at 20% off, and I will pay you right away."

"That won't do." Chu Yue flatly refused, "Business rules are rules, and affection is affection, they can't be confused. Besides, Aunt Liu, do you think there is affection between us?"

Chu Yue still bears a grudge about the shirt incident.

After the conversation, Liu Jinfeng's expression became more and more ugly, the smile on her face became stiff and distorted, and she even wanted to have a quarrel with Chu Yue.

At this moment, a customer came in. He was a man in his forties, wearing a white apron and with a worldly air. He was obviously a chef.

As soon as he entered the store, he asked, "I heard you sell live chickens in your store?"

"Yes, genuine free-range chickens." Chu Yue went out to greet them, "Master, there are two left, both are here, one yuan per pound, do you want to pick one?"

The man took a few looks, then held the chicken feet expertly to see the color, and said, "No need to choose, I'll take both of them."

Chu Yue said, "Okay, let's weigh it now."

When Liu Jinfeng saw this, she became anxious, "Hey, hey, hey, why is this happening? I was here first, and this one is mine."

She rushed over, without distinguishing between good and bad, and grabbed a chicken, holding it tightly in her hand.

Chu Yue deliberately asked, "One dollar per pound, you want one too?"

Liu Jinfeng gritted her teeth and said, "One piece is enough. I want it!"

She had to cook some nice dishes for a distinguished guest who was coming to her house. But now she couldn't buy any chicken at the supply and marketing cooperative, so she could only buy Chu Yue's chicken.

Chu Yue did not embarrass Liu Jinfeng anymore, but said to the man, "Master, you two can each have one, is that ok?"

"Forget it, just one. My shop is still waiting for chicken. Please settle the bill quickly."

"Okay, wait a moment."

A few minutes later, the man and Liu Jinfeng walked out of the grocery store, each holding a chicken.

Chu Yue had the money in her hand. She was quite happy to have made some money from Liu Jinfeng today.

That afternoon, Ye Zhaodi was tired from her menstrual period and fell asleep while telling a story. Lu Yuanbao came out and whispered to Chu Yue, "Sister Zhaodi is asleep."

Chu Yue went in to take a look and saw Ye Zhaodi sleeping soundly. She reached out and touched the hot water bottle on her belly and found it was also warm. She covered her with a blanket and then took Lu Yuanbao and Pei Tianci to the front to play.

The two children drew squares outside the shop. Lu Yuanbao taught Pei Tianci how to play hopscotch. Occasionally, when Chu Yue was too busy, she could still greet customers in a proper manner.

During this period, a woman caught Chu Yue's attention.

"Yuqin, here, here - this is the store. I heard that the things sold here are cheap and good, better than those in the supply and marketing cooperative! I have wanted to come and take a look for a long time. Let's go in quickly." Three or four women came to the door of the store at once, all of them were in their thirties. They all turned around and looked, waiting for a woman named Yuqin.

Ding Yuqin walked in at the back, arriving late. She glanced at the shop sign and said with disdain, "It's just a grocery store, not a department store in the city. What's so great about it?"

Having said that, she still walked into the store.

This woman with eyes on top of her head didn't notice Pei Tianci standing on the side of the road at all, and bumped into Pei Tianci when she walked by.

"Tianci, be careful!"

Lu Yuanbao quickly supported Pei Tianci to prevent him from falling.

Ding Yuqin clearly knew that she had bumped into someone, but she didn't even look down, let alone say sorry. Instead, she mocked, "Where did you come from, kid? Why are you standing at the door of the store? If you dirty my clothes, you won't be able to pay for it."

She spoke sarcastically, and her sharp fingers almost poked Pei Tianci's forehead.
