Chapter 55: Clarity (Explosive Update 1)
Before Chu Xuan, the person involved, could say anything, Mu Chenze had already spoken.
"I'm sorry, auntie, I won't sell the remaining two clothes!"
This woman was disgusted with Chu Xuan and pushed him around. He would rather give the shirt away than sell it.
The woman pointed at her face in disbelief. "Am I that old? You call me auntie? I'm only 26 and have been married for less than two years. You call me auntie?"
Mu Chenze said as he packed up the remaining two shirts, "That's right! I'm calling you Auntie. If you hadn't said you were 26, I would have thought you were 56."
"you……"
The woman was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.
After Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan each left with their sacks, he finally reacted and started cursing, "You little thief selling shirts! How dare you call me old! Just wait! Don't let me run into you again..."
At this moment, Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze had already walked out of the market.
Chu Xuan naturally knew that Mu Chenze deliberately called someone "Auntie" just to help her vent her anger.
"Thanks for your protection, bro."
Mu Chenze looked Chu Xuan up and down and said, "If you want to thank me, that's fine. Lose five pounds every month and that will count as a thank you."
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "I just weighed myself in the city today and I weigh 195 kilograms. I was 200 kilograms before, so I've lost exactly 5 kilograms."
Mu Chenze pretended to regret, "I underestimated you! I should have asked you to lose 10 pounds a month."
"That won't do. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You're a grown man, you can't go back on your word."
"Okay. Consider it your thanks. To motivate you to lose weight, I'm setting up a prize for you. If you can lose 10 pounds this month, I'll give you a not-very-expensive gift."
Chu Xuan originally planned to lose 10 pounds every month. Since it was a not-so-valuable gift, it didn't matter to her to accept it. At most, she could treat Mu Chenze to a few more meals in the future. "Do you mean what you said?"
"It's a must." Mu Chenze's eyes fell on the sack in Chu Xuan's hand, "The shirts you took away..."
"I think they've been sold, but I haven't received the payment yet. I guess I'll be paid the next day or the day after tomorrow. If I sell them at 10 yuan each, I can earn 200 yuan."
"I'm selling two for 25 yuan. I've sold 18 pieces in total, earning 225 yuan. I still have two pieces left. Why don't we each give one away?"
"That's a good suggestion. I want to give one to Grandma Gao. What about you? Will you give one to your mother?"
"Yes. My mother has wanted a Dacron shirt for a long time."
Mu Chenze took out a shirt from the sack and handed it to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan took it, not wanting to take advantage, so he took out 10 yuan from his pocket and said, "I bought this one. You sold 18 pieces for 225 yuan, it's your ability..."
Before she could finish, Mu Chenze slapped her hand away and said, "We agreed to do business together. We'll split the profits 50-50. I need to give you another 12.5 yuan. Put the money away quickly, or I'll be angry!"
Instead of giving her the ten yuan, Mu Chenze insisted on giving her 12.5 yuan, "I always take advantage of you."
"You're not taking advantage of me, you're making a good investment. Do more business with me in the future, and who knows, I might be able to help you take off."
"I'll wait."
In his previous life, Mu Chenze was indeed good at making money.
Otherwise, Chu Xuan would not be able to subsidize the Chu family with so much money.
Chu Xuan put away the money, feeling mixed emotions, with a flash of guilt in his eyes.
Mu Chenze didn't catch the expression on her face because he was looking into the distance.
"It looks like our village's tractor. Come back with me! I have things to do. Don't mention the shirt sale for now. Just say we each bought one for an elder."
Mu Chenze didn't wait for Chu Xuan's response and turned into an alley as fast as he could.
Chu Xuan didn't think about it and just didn't say it.
Stop the tractor, the tractor driver is Liu Dapeng.
As soon as Liu Dapeng saw her, he braked and stopped the car, moved to the connection between the truck bed and made a gesture of invitation.
Chu Xuan said thank you and sat in the driver's seat.
We arrived at the village entrance at around nine o'clock.
I gave Liu Dapeng a dime as the fare.
Liu Dapeng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He said nothing and watched Chu Xuan leave before jumping onto the tractor.
When Chu Xuan returned home, everyone was busy.
Chu Xuan took out a shirt from the sack and whispered to Gao Meijuan, "Grandma Gao, I said I wanted to honor you! Today I'll give you a piece of clothing. Go to my room and try it on."
Gao Meijuan stopped killing the fish and looked over, pleasantly surprised. "Is it Dacron? You said, kid, this must have cost a lot of money."
I've wanted to buy one for a long time, but unfortunately I never got one.
Chu Xuan smiled back, but didn't say how much the clothes cost.
Gao Meijuan quickly washed her hands, dried them, took the clothes, and went to Chu Xuan's room to try them on.
Qin Mahua looked at the new shirt with envy.
Chu Xuan hurriedly said, "Aunt Qin, Mu Chenze bought you one. He didn't come back with me because he had something else to do. I guess you'll be able to see it when you get home at noon."
Qin Mahua was delighted, "Great! My son is filial."
The movements of killing fish became faster and smoother, which was dazzling to watch.
After a while, Gao Meijuan came out after changing into a shirt, looking very young, and everyone praised her for her good looks.
Miao Dacui was happy for Gao Meijuan, "Mom, even though Xiaoxuan calls you grandma according to seniority, you are like having another daughter!"
"That's right."
Gao Meijuan's eyes reddened. Xiao Xuan had helped her family a lot during this period.
She was about to say something else when there was a knock on the door.
Hua Daling's voice came from outside the door, "Is Chu Xuan home?"
Chu Xuan was waiting for her to come.
"At home. Come in!"
Gao Meijuan was anxious to kill the fish to speed up the process, so she quickly returned to the house, changed back into her original clothes, and went back to the yard to continue working.
Hua Daling took a look at the scene in the yard. There were many wooden basins and barrels filled with skinned fish. In the corner, fish heads piled up like a small mountain. Countless fish skins hung on the wall...
Qin Mahua felt that Hua Daling was looking for a job. Thinking of her daughter-in-law's request, she spoke before Hua Daling, "Xiao Xuan, if you're short of people, my daughter-in-law can fill in."
Chu Xuan responded readily, "Okay. If you need anyone, call Sister Fu Qing first."
Hearing this, Hua Daling was too embarrassed to ask whether there were any workers. "I came here for no reason, I just wanted to apologize to you in person. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have concealed the fact that your father wasn't Feng Chunhua's biological son. But it's not entirely my fault. Feng Chunhua threatened me. If I dared to tell her, she would take back the food she had given my family. I couldn't afford it, so I kept it a secret."
Chu Xuan smiled calmly, "Aunt Hua, I forgive you. After all, you told the truth to the security officers. I have to thank you."
Hua Daling didn't expect Chu Xuan to forgive her so easily. "Don't thank me! You made me want to crawl into the ground when you said that. Xiao Xuan, you are a capable person with a bright future. It's better to break off your relationship with Feng Chunhua so that you won't be implicated by her family in the future."
Chu Xuan suddenly understood something. It seemed that Hua Daling really knew something.
She wanted to find out, but she couldn't appear too eager.
"Aunt Hua, if I'm short of help someday, would you mind coming over to help? I'll charge you one cent for every pound of skinned fish you process according to my instructions."
Tie a carrot in front of the donkey first, so the donkey won't stop moving.
Hua Daling nodded vigorously, "I don't mind. I'm willing! I'm willing! If you need anyone, just call me. I'm leaving first."
"I'll take you out."
Chu Xuan not only saw Hua Daling off, but also walked a few meters further before speaking again, "Aunt Hua, I heard that Feng Chunhua's family has had a lot of trouble since the separation!"
