Chapter 162 People who lie will be unlucky

“You’re welcome!”

Li Mumu looked at the little boy in front of her. He was about seven or eight years old, with delicate features, and he didn't look like a northerner at first glance.

It is freezing cold and windy here in the north. When winter comes, the faces of adults and children in poor families become red, dry, and even chapped.

Even the young masters of wealthy families rarely have fair and tender faces. This is due to the environment.

But the young man in front of him was very different from the crowd, so Li Mumu took a few more glances at him.

However, the boy didn't care about them, but went to argue with the person who pushed him.

Song Qiang also pulled Gu Yuru away.

In total, they earned just over a hundred coins, but Song Qiang bought gifts for everyone in the family. The gift was small, but the thought was great. She herself said that it was the thought that mattered, and the price had nothing to do with it.

Of course, everyone in the Gu family was happy, even if they only got a few pieces of candy.

Xie Xun looked at the candy in his hand, a little surprised, "I... have some too?"

Song Qiang nodded, "Of course, you are Mumu's adopted husband and also a member of our family. You wouldn't think it's too little, would you?"

Xie Xun smiled bitterly, the corners of his mouth twitching. He knew that Song Qiang was joking. After all, his family knew what the term "child-raising husband" was. It was just a lie.

"I don't like sweets."

Li Mumu actually knew this, so she snatched the candy from him without hesitation, "Then I'll eat it for you."

"This child, it's rare to see Mumu bullying others." Old Madam Gu smiled, "Xie Xun, since you are in this family, then live peacefully. Whatever Yun Chao and the others have, you can have the same."

"Thank you, old lady!" Xie Xun said.

"That's right. Now in Ningxi Village, everyone knows that you and we are a family, so don't be shy." Gu Mingyu said.

Xie Xun nodded. The Gu family was really good to him.

He had never felt the warmth of a family, and he had never longed for it before, but now this time made him greedy.

He also knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

The Gu family’s business affairs cannot be concealed, and they have no intention of concealing them.

In the eyes of the Shi family, this was simply self-degradation. However, after knowing that Song Qiang had made money, their tone of voice became sour.

After all, money is a good thing.

The next day, Song Qiang prepared what to sell at the next market.

Ordinary people live a hard life and want to eat more meat even if they spend money, so vegetables are not easy to sell. She also discussed with her family and decided to lower the price of vegetables.

Of course Li Mumu didn't object. She hadn't thought about this when she helped set the price.

Modern people pay attention to nutritious and healthy combinations, and are not so eager for meat. After all, they can eat it at every meal. Even rich people have begun to pay attention to vegetarianism.

But she also admired Song Qiang's business acumen. He was simply a natural businessman.

Song Qiang prepares ingredients for several days and then strings them together the night before. The winter in the north is great. Nothing will go bad in the ice and snow. It is like a natural refrigerator.

With the first experience, Song Qiang felt more confident. "Mumu, the weather is too cold. Water is freezing outside. Why don't you just not go? Wait until your second aunt earns money to buy you something delicious."

Li Mumu knew that Song Qiang meant well, but this time she really had to go.

It was not for any other reason, but last time, she noticed that the stall owners next door all looked at her in a bad light.

There's no guarantee that nothing will go wrong this time.

"Second aunt, I want to help you count the money."

Gu Yuru was amused, but she also felt sorry for her daughter. She was so young and had to walk all the way and stand outside for a long time. She was really worried that she couldn't handle it.

"You little money-grubber, it's so cold, aren't you afraid of getting cold?" Song Qiang said gently.

"Mom, I also want to count money with my cousin." Gu Yu said.

Song Qiang changed her gentle attitude and said with disdain: "You? Forget it, you are not as good as your sister in math. Besides, among all the brothers, you are the worst in academic performance."

Gu Yu pouted. He really wanted to go.

"Cousin, study hard and Mumu will buy you a big chicken leg." Li Mumu coaxed softly.

Gu Yu was coaxed by his little cousin and lost his temper. "Well, I don't want the chicken legs, I'll give them all to you. Hehe, if I don't go, then Xie Xun can't go either."

Xie Xun hadn't originally planned to go, but after hearing what he said, he deliberately said, "I'm not like you who can't memorize the book, so why can't I go?"

"I... wuwu, mother, look at him..."

Li Mumu glanced at Xie Xun, "You want to go?"

Xie Xun nodded and said, "Go do something."

What he was about to do must be something very important, so Li Mumu didn't stop him.

Just like last time, the Gu family separated at the fork in the road in the town.

Then the two women took the two children and pushed the cart to the town.

They didn't want to go back to the place they went last time, but when they went there this time, they found a pile of stones there.

Song Qiang and Gu Yuru had never done business before, so they didn't know what this meant. "Here... there's no one here?"

"Why is there no one here? I want this position." The person who spoke was a woman, with her hands on her hips, looking very aggressive.

Li Mumu recognized her as the woman who sold pickles last time.

It was still those jars of pickles, which didn't take up much space, but she laid them out in a row, so that the place that could have accommodated three stalls was now occupied by only hers.

Song Qiang couldn't help her temper, "I..."

"Second sister-in-law, forget it, let's go somewhere else." Gu Yuru thought it was better to have less trouble than more.

Song Qiang still listened to the advice, "Okay, good wine needs no bush, let's go to that corner."

The woman selling pickles smiled smugly.

Xie Xun and Li Mumu looked at each other. These were just trivial matters and they didn't intend to make a fuss about them.

But I didn't expect that the fat woman was really too much.

Song Qiang's business is still booming, and the prices of vegetables have been reduced, and there are more types of meat. Plus, the aroma of fried skewers is so tempting that you can smell it from far away.

Even if it is in a corner, guests can still find it by smelling it.

But pickles are still not popular.

The fat woman did not reflect on her own problems, but blamed Song Qiang, thinking that she had stolen her business.

But originally their two businesses did not affect each other.

"Mom, it's so delicious. I want to eat it again next time." The little kid took the hot skewers and bit off most of the fish balls in one bite.

"Eat it, eat it. It will make your stomach upset. Last time, several people vomited and had diarrhea after eating it."

"What...what do you mean?" The kid's mother's face turned pale with fear after hearing this.

"Don't you know? The kid in our village almost lost his life after eating food from their house last time." The fat woman lied without hesitation.

The woman was so frightened that she stood there in a daze, and many people who heard the noise ran over to ask if it was true.

"Of course it's true. If I lie, I'll be struck by lightning..."

Just as the woman beside her was making a solemn oath, Li Mumu came over and said, "There's no thunder in winter, but people who tell lies will be unlucky!"
