Chapter Eighteen: Dare to Compete Viciously with Me



It's that woman again. What happened between her and the original owner in their past life? Why does she always haunt us?

"What are you shouting for? Don't disturb my business!" The road leads west, and anyone can leave as they please. Wang Xiangyu is not afraid of Li Youran.

"You shameless woman, you're clearly imitating us and you're so self-righteous about it." Li Tairan had never seen such a shameless person.

"How come your family is more lenient than the government? You only allow one person in your family to play the ring toss, but no one else is allowed to?" Although she agreed with Li Tairan, Wang Xiangyu looked at Li Youran provocatively.

Li Youran looked Wang Xiangyu up and down, remaining silent for a long time.

“You can set up a stall if you want, but setting the prices so low is clearly unfair competition.”

"I'm just engaging in cutthroat competition, what are you going to do about it?" Wang Xiangyu was like a shrew, unmoved by either soft or hard tactics.

"Since you're being unreasonable, I have nothing more to say." Li Youran snorted coldly and said, "Give me two hundred circles."

"You're opening a business and you're still being picky?" Li Youran said, then addressed the crowd, "Don't you all agree?"

Wherever you go, there's never a shortage of people joining in the fun.

"Young lady, that's not right of you. Everyone's doing business!"

"She probably has something to hide and is afraid to do business with other people."

"Who says I won't do business with her!" Wang Xiangyu was pushed to the limit. "Give me the money, cash on delivery, bamboo rings on the other."

Two hundred bamboo rings equal two hundred copper coins.

Many people visited Li Youran's stall yesterday, and even those who didn't visit it watched from the sidelines, so they naturally knew that Li Youran also ran a bamboo hoop toss stall.

Seeing that he had run into a fellow traveler, he decided to stay and watch the excitement.

Okay~

The first bamboo hoop Li Youran threw caught a purse in the front row, drawing cheers from the onlookers.

"Hmph~" These were just some worthless little things, and Wang Xiangyu didn't even notice them.

Okay~

Li Youran threw out three more bamboo rings in succession, hitting them all without missing, drawing another round of cheers.

Wang Xiangyu's face changed color, but it was still within her tolerance, after all, Li Youran only spent a few dozen coins on these items.

"Little girl, stop trying to put on these cheap stuff. Put on something bigger."

"If you're going to wear a cover-up, wear the one on the back!"

Li Youran turned around, cupped her hands in greeting to the crowd, and then looked at Wang Xiangyu.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You can put it wherever you want." Wang Xiangyu was a little angry. Li Youran was such a scheming woman.

"Since the proprietress has spoken, then I won't stand on ceremony."

After saying that, Li Youran got serious; the previous moves were just warm-up exercises.

Dozens of rings were thrown out in succession, and they all landed perfectly!

"That girl is amazing!"

"What are you standing there for, boss? Hurry up and pack their things up!"

Of the two hundred rings, only a few dozen were thrown out. It wasn't that Li Youran wanted to show mercy; it was just that Wang Xiangyu's stall didn't have much to begin with.

Wang Xiangyu stood there, stunned, without moving.

These things were bought with my last savings. I had planned to make a big splash, earn some money to give to my parents, and dissuade them from wanting me to marry Master Zhou.

But Li Youran actually took all his belongings with him in one go, spending only two hundred coins...

"Wang Xiangyu, I don't want any of these things I've acquired today."

Upon hearing Li Youran's words, Wang Xiangyu's eyes lit up.

"I have only one request, and that is to set a uniform price." After Li Youran finished speaking, he turned around and bowed to the onlookers, saying, "As you all know, there is bound to be competition in business, but her price is obviously much lower than mine, making it impossible for me to do business. I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."

Open and honest, with nothing to hide.

"As the ancients said, only petty men and women are difficult to deal with," a scholar said slowly. "It is truly rare for a young lady to have such a broad mind!"

Since ancient times, scholars have held a very high status and wielded considerable influence, and the onlookers all spoke up for Li Youran.

“Good… what a shameless little whore,” Wang Xiangyu said with a dark face.

"Give me back my two hundred coins, and I'll give you back the bamboo ring." Li Tairan handed the bamboo ring back to Wang Xiangyu.

He could leave the things behind, but he had to return the two hundred coins; he wasn't about to give Wang Xiangyu so much money for nothing.

The price is the same, but Li Youran has more items, making it easier to get a good deal.

Moreover, when they won something, Li Youran treated them warmly, while Wang Xiangyu had a gloomy face. Before long, Wang Xiangyu's business dried up.

"Young Master Liu, congratulations!" He'd spent twenty taels of silver to win a ten-tael plum blossom hairpin. Li Youran's congratulations were far too exaggerated.

"Your beloved girl will definitely like it." Liu Zhiyuan happily accepted the wooden box containing the plum blossom hairpin, and Li Youran generously offered her blessings.

"Hmm." Originally, he planned to plant a plum blossom hairpin and give it to Li Youran on the spot, but when the time came, Liu Zhiyuan was a little nervous.

“You Ran, I…” Just as Liu Zhiyuan mustered up his courage, Li Youran went to busy herself with greeting guests.

Forget it, what if I scare her if I express my feelings now? I'll wait a while and let us nurture our relationship before saying anything!

Tang Lei, who was acting as a bodyguard, was secretly observing the people around him, and that scene naturally caught his eye.

Tang Lei felt a sudden, inexplicable annoyance and took a big bite of the apple Li Youran had given him.

Yesterday, it was just Li Youran and her parents, and they only had a quick bite for lunch. Today, with her brother and sister-in-law helping out, and Tang Lei also there, lunch was naturally more substantial.

Li Youran grabbed a handful of copper coins from the money box and picked out a few loose silver coins. She handed the stall over to her brother and sister-in-law and went to buy food.

The temple fair was very lively, and there were naturally many food vendors selling various kinds of food, such as steamed buns and roast chicken.

He bought ten sesame seed cakes, twenty large meat buns, and two roast chickens in one go. He also went to the stall selling mutton soup and packed up a whole jar of mutton soup.

Although they usually had plenty to eat and drink, meat was extremely precious, so everyone ate to their heart's content.

"Brother, setting up a ring toss stall is fucking lucrative!" the one-eyed man said, wiping his drool. "I didn't even get to eat this kind of food during the New Year."

"You...you want to rebel? How dare you...how dare you call yourself 'I' in front of Big Brother?" The stuttering man said, slapping the one-eyed man on the head.

"Quiet the hell out of here!" the bearded man roared. "Today I'm going to show you guys what's really big!"

Tang Lei, who was eating a sesame seed cake, looked behind him.
