Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 440 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (8)
"How could there be any problem with my things? Don't you want to help me sell them?" Aunt Wang was a little unhappy.
Chen Shichu nodded directly and admitted: "I really don't want to help you sell things, because I can't take the responsibility. If something happens, the police will definitely look for me, and I can't bear this responsibility."
Aunt Wang's face immediately turned ugly, and she said, "After all the talk, he just won't help. We've been neighbors for decades, but he won't even lend a hand!"
She deliberately let Chen Shichu hear her complaining voice, thinking that after she said that, Chen Shichu would feel bad and change his mind and agree to help her sell things.
Unfortunately, Chen Shichu never felt guilty. She pretended not to hear what Aunt Wang said and turned around to go home.
Aunt Wang was so angry that she stomped her feet a few times. She then wondered how much goods Chen Shichu had sold online and how much money he had earned. She also thought that she had a lot of vegetables in her vegetable garden. If Chen Shichu could sell dried beans, then she could also sell dried vegetables!
But she doesn't know how to use a smartphone, let alone sell goods online. But she also wants to earn some money. Even a small amount of money is still meat. A few dozen yuan a month is enough for her to buy oil and salt.
The more Aunt Wang thought about it, the angrier she became. She became more and more resentful that Chen Shichu was unwilling to help.
When her son called her in the evening, she asked, "Son, do you know about that...what is selling goods online?"
“Selling goods online? Of course I know!” Aunt Wang’s son Wang Xi is an ordinary office employee. After get off work every day, he likes to lie on the bed and browse his mobile phone when he returns to his rented house. Shopping websites and short videos are his favorites, and these have sales videos and live broadcasts. He has also bought quite a few, so he knows them very well.
When Aunt Wang heard what he said, her eyes lit up immediately, and she asked quickly, "How do you sell goods online? Our neighbor, your Aunt Chen, has also been selling goods online recently, and it's doing pretty well. I've seen couriers coming to her house to pick up goods often. She sells things like dried chili peppers and vegetables, which we have at home. Son, what do you think about me selling goods online too?"
Of course Wang Xi would not stop Aunt Wang, and was very supportive, saying, "Sure, they are all family stuff anyway, so you can sell them if you want."
"But I don't know how to sell it online, and your Aunt Chen refuses to help me!" Aunt Wang complained.
"Mom, if you don't know how to do it, just learn it. Aunt Chen knows how to do it, so you can learn from her." Wang Xi suggested, "Aunt Chen has a good temper, she will definitely teach you."
"She has no good temper at all. She refuses to help me sell things and is very fussy!" Aunt Wang was reluctant to ask Chen Shichu for help.
Wang Xi could understand Chen Shichu, and advised her, "Mom, it's right for her not to help you sell things. If there is a problem with the things she sells for you, she will be held responsible for you. What's more, there is the issue of money. If you think the price she sets is lower than others and you lose money, what will Aunt Chen do? Will she pay for you out of her own pocket? This will easily lead to a falling out, so it's best for you to learn it yourself."
After Wang Xi persuaded her for a long time, Aunt Wang finally let go of her worries and asked Wang Xi to teach her how to sell goods online.
But Wang Xi was out of town and couldn’t come back, and couldn’t be taught via video, so Aunt Wang could only ask Aunt Chen for help.
Aunt Wang's desire to sell goods finally prevailed, so she took a watermelon that she had grown and went to Chen Shichu's house to ask for advice on how to sell it online.
"You want to learn how to sell goods online from me?" Chen Shichu asked in surprise. Aunt Wang was very direct. "You are not willing to help me sell, so don't I have to learn it myself?"
"That's great. It will be more convenient if you learn it yourself." Chen Shichu said with a smile. She really started to teach Aunt Wang how to register as a host on a short video platform, and taught her how to shoot videos, take photos, edit them, and put the products in the window...
In short, I explained the whole process to Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang was old after all, and it was not easy for her to learn. It took her several days to learn how to take a clear video.
However, she was thinking about selling goods and making money after she learned the skills, so she was very motivated. Therefore, even though she learned slowly, she was not discouraged, but full of fighting spirit.
Because Auntie Wang and Chen Shichu did not hide the fact that they were learning to sell goods through short videos from the villagers, many people in the village knew that they were actually doing this. After watching a short video live broadcast or video selling goods, they all said that there was such a way of selling goods, and they had never seen it before...
Even the elderly cannot escape the charm of selling goods through short videos, so there is a group of middle-aged and elderly people who are addicted to watching videos in the village. Some of them even became eager to try after seeing Aunt Wang and Chen Shichu selling goods online. Especially after they learned that Chen Shichu actually sold peppers, ginger and even dried beans that they usually didn't even care about, they became even more excited.
As a result, Chen Shichu's usually quiet home welcomed waves of visitors.
"You all want to learn from me how to sell goods online?" Chen Shichu was shocked. There were seven or eight elderly people in front of her, Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhu, Youngest Qian... all middle-aged and elderly people in their village who were in their forties or fifties.
"Yes, Chen Mei'er, I saw the videos you shot on the Internet, and I also want to learn. My family has produced a lot of pomegranates this year, but we can't eat them all. It's a pity to let them rot in the fields. We might as well sell them..." Aunt Zhu shouted loudly.
"It's the same at my house! I also have dried vegetables, sauerkraut, and a lot of salted duck eggs. I wonder if anyone would buy them?" Mrs. Sun Wu also said hurriedly.
…
All of a sudden, seven or eight people were talking about what they had to sell at home. The chattering made Chen Shichu's head dizzy. They were afraid that Chen Shichu would not teach them, so they all competed to shout the loudest, as if they thought that Chen Shichu would hear whoever spoke the loudest and would be taught.
Chen Shichu didn't want to teach any of them. She regretted it. She shouldn't have taught Auntie Wang. Now that she taught Auntie Wang, how could she refuse others? Which of these people in the village was not related to her? Even if they were not related, they had lived in the same village for decades. Could it be that she didn't have any face at all?
If she really refused all of them, she would definitely be scolded. Although Chen Shichu didn't care about her reputation, she didn't want to be spit on every time she went out.
Looking at this group of people who were talking nonstop, Chen Shichu didn't want to pay any attention to them, but suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she thought of a reasonable way to get out of this predicament.
So she asked Sun Wusao: "Besides you guys, are there any other people in our village who want to learn how to sell goods online?"
"Yes, Big Head and the others want to learn too!"
"Shitou also said he was interested!"
…
"That's great!" Chen Shichu said happily, "Since so many people in our village want to learn, let's just organize a class."
