The old lady was unhappy when she heard this.
"You're pushing me, and you think you're right? Besides, how do you know I'm not buying? There's always a first-come-first-served order here. What's going on? I haven't even bought anything yet, and you're already in front of me, trying to cut in line, aren't you?"
"Who cut in line? I just saw you weren't buying anything, so I decided to go first. I have a lot of things to do at home, so who has the time to wait here for you?"
The old lady ignored her and turned to look at Niu Cuihua, "Sister, what do you think? Let's buy it together!"
Niu Cuihua just wanted to buy a chicken. It didn't matter whether it was cheap or not. Besides, they bought a chicken in the commune for fifty cents per pound. What's more, this was a county town, so sixty cents per pound was really cheap!
So, under the gaze of several people, she spoke.
"Forget it. I don't even know you. Why should I buy it with you? What if you say I took advantage of you?"
"Boss, that's the one from before. Please show me how much it costs. There's something else I need to ask!"
Hearing this, the boss smiled and agreed.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll weigh it for you right away!"
"Okay, it's three and a half pounds, so it should be two dollars and one cent. How about this, you give me two dollars?"
"No, no, the price is what it should be. It's not easy for you to set up a stall so early in the morning!"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua had already taken out two yuan and one cent from a small cloth bag and handed it to the stall owner.
It would be best not to wipe the money, so the middle-aged man took it with a smile.
"Oh, thank you so much, auntie!"
Niu Cuihua waved her hands. "Why are you thanking me? What's there to thank me for? Besides, we bought your things, and you're thanking me. What's that?"
While the two were talking, Li Mingxi had already taken the chicken swiftly.
Seeing that the old lady was looking at Grandma viciously, Li Mingxi quickly spoke up.
"Okay, grandma, let's go quickly. We still have things to buy!"
"Yes, let's go!"
At this point, seeing the chicken in Li Mingxi's hand, she said with disapproval, "What are you doing with this? It's so dirty. So, give me the chicken!"
As she spoke, she reached out and took the chick away.
"Okay, let's go!"
The onlookers were shocked when they saw that Niu Cuihua didn't even let the girl next to her take a chicken!
In this day and age, every girl has to work, and carrying things is not worth mentioning!
But look at the old lady in front of her. She won’t even let this girl take a chicken. Isn’t she treating her too pampered?
The old lady who was about to buy a chicken spoke up when she saw Niu Cuihua and the others were about to leave.
"Hey, no, why are you leaving? I didn't tell you just now that we should buy it together and let him give us a discount. Why did you give me the money without saying anything?"
Li Mingxi knew that the old lady would definitely not agree, but she really didn't expect that she was so rude. She had just proposed it to her grandmother, but her grandmother didn't agree. What kind of thing was she looking for?
Niu Cuihua ignored the old lady completely. She said that the old lady was a lunatic. Therefore, she kept walking and did not forget to take care of Li Mingxi beside her.
"Don't bother with her, Xiaoxi, let's go shopping quickly. After buying the things, we will go back. We have to go home in the afternoon!"
When the middle-aged woman saw this situation, she laughed.
"Hey, they're not paying any attention to you, why are you still yelling at them? You're really shameless. Now, if you don't want to buy anything, don't stop us from buying it!"
As she said this, the middle-aged woman pushed the old lady aside with her butt.
The old lady was not happy with the squeeze. She opened her eyes wide and glared at the woman fiercely, "Why did you hit me?"
"When did I bump into you? You old lady, you lied with your eyes open, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Having said this, she looked the old lady up and down and clicked her tongue twice.
"I see you're dressed pretty well. Is there any need to waste your breath on a dime? Besides, the price isn't expensive!"
The old lady was choked by her words and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
"Okay, stop blocking the way and go wherever you need to go."
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with the woman, the old lady wanted to go to Niu Cuihua to talk to her. If she hadn't been unwilling to go shopping with her just now, how could she be being ridiculed here!
But when she looked around, there was no trace of Niu Cuihua!
When she couldn't find anyone, she stomped her feet in anger!
The woman had already bought the chicken and was looking at her with a smile.
The stall owner started to chase people away, "Auntie, are you going to buy something or not? If not, then please stop blocking my stall. I want to make more money! We country people are not like you city people who have monthly food supplies and wages!"
The woman next to her chimed in, "That's right, Auntie. Those folks are having a hard time. What's going on? Do you feel sorry for them and want to give them some money?"
When the old lady heard this, she immediately said, "What? I just thought his chicken was not good, so I decided not to buy it. As expected, private sellers are not as reliable as public ones!"
After saying this, she left angrily, and it seemed that she left because the quality of the chicken was really bad!
The onlookers burst into laughter when they saw her like this.
After Li Mingxi and Niu Cuihua left the chicken stall, they continued walking inside. Therefore, she was not very clear about what happened next.
I have to say that this vegetable market is not big, but it sells a lot of things.
Look, she and Niu Cuihua were walking along with their baskets already full.
When they met up with the old lady next door, the grandmother and granddaughter each held a basket in their hands.
When the old lady saw what Li Mingxi and Niu Cuihua were holding, she sighed.
"Oh my god, how much stuff did you buy?"
Niu Cuihua smiled and said, "It's not much. I thought the second brother and his wife didn't have time to buy vegetables, so I thought of buying them some more so that they can have something to eat!"
The old lady nodded. "That's right. I'm not saying anything wrong, sister. Why don't you just live in the county town? Hai can still help the couple cook, and we can still talk when we have nothing to do!"
Niu Cuihua refused, "Forget it, I still like living in the countryside. I can go wherever I want, but I don't feel comfortable living in this county town!"
Having said that, she looked around and then spoke cautiously.
"You don't know, I didn't sleep much last night. It really couldn't be helped. I really can't get used to sleeping in the county town!"
Seeing her say this, the old lady understood, "Is that so? That's right. We are so old now, it's really hard for us to get used to a new place!"
"That's right!"
Li Mingxi saw his grandmother confidently chatting nonsense with the old lady next door, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Is his grandmother lying with her eyes open?
When did she become unable to sleep? She slept so soundly last night, okay? She even snored!
As if she had noticed Li Mingxi's expression, Niu Cuihua quickly winked at her, the meaning of which was very obvious, she hoped Li Mingxi would not expose her.
