Chapter 12: Overbearing Selling
The Gu family was extremely angry as they watched the cooked duck fly away, not to mention the meat, they couldn't even drink a sip of the soup.
Boss Gu sneered: "Ignore them for now. Can the people from Zaihu Village stay here forever? Ha!"
"Big brother is absolutely right."
The Gu family members were all gritting their teeth, imagining in their hearts how the people from Zaihu Village would humiliate and punish the Zhao family after they left, and how the Zhao family would kneel before them, crying and kowtowing, admitting their mistakes and making amends. Well, thinking about it this way, they finally felt a little better.
Mrs. Gu added, "They still want to buy vegetables in the village. I'll tell every household not to sell them any vegetables. They're not allowed to sell them any eggs either!"
"Yes, they are not allowed to buy it!" The Gu family unanimously agreed.
Boss Gu thought about it and said, "Forget it, there's no need."
If the Gu family spread the word, naturally no one in the village would dare to sell, but wouldn't that be deliberately making enemies with the entire village? If this could teach the Zhao family a lesson, it would be worth it. But if the Zhao family can't buy vegetables in the village, won't they go to other villages to buy them?
"Then, let them be proud?"
"That's just the beginning. What are you so proud of? We have plenty of vegetables at home, you can go and sell some too."
The Gu family was stunned.
Mrs. Gu was delighted: "After all, he is my eldest brother! It would be a waste if I don't make this money. Every penny counts!"
The Gu family members were cheered up: Yes, that's right.
So, that day, Mrs. Gu's second and third wives also brought a full basket of vegetables to sell to the Zhao family.
Other vegetable vendors would first come and ask what vegetables they wanted and how much they wanted, then go back and get them. Because the daily demand for vegetables was limited, if they needed enough that day, Zhao Liya would arrange for delivery tomorrow, or the day after, and so on. This way, there would be no confusion, and no awkward situation where everyone wanted to sell and there was no competition.
Basically, everyone lines up and gets a share.
Long live harmony, everyone is happy.
It's different when the Gu family's sister-in-law sells vegetables. Do they agree first and then pick the vegetables? That doesn't happen.
They carried a basket of radishes and cabbages to the Zhao family's house. Seeing Deng picking vegetables there, they approached with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, we are here to sell vegetables! Please collect them quickly!"
Deng was stunned for a moment, then asked Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin to go find Zhao Liya, and smiled at them: "Wait a moment, Ya'er is in charge of this matter, you can talk to her later."
Third Sister Gu laughed and said, "Oh, as the mistress of the house, can't you make the decision on such a small matter? How can a little girl have the final say?"
Mrs. Gu smiled wryly: "That's right!"
Mrs. Deng wasn't angry either. Her plain clothes and thorny hairpins couldn't hide her gentle and serene temperament. She continued with a smile and said, "Our Ya'er is smart and capable. She's indispensable for household chores."
Second and Third Sisters Gu looked at each other, curled their lips, and were speechless. Why did she sound so proud? Shouldn't she be ashamed?
After a while, Zhao Liya came over, holding a sister-in-law in each hand. "Did you two sisters-in-law make a mistake? I don't think my family has ordered any food from you two sisters-in-law, right?"
Mrs. Gu got angry when she heard this: "What's the matter? Everyone else's family wants it, but ours can't? We're from the same village, Zhao girl. We'll meet each other every day. What do you mean by this? You don't like our Gu family, right?"
Your family is new here, and you actually dare to dislike the dignified Gu family. Second Mrs. Gu was furious.
"Second Sister Gu, please don't say that. We are a new family and we are most looking forward to getting along well with everyone! We are a friendly and kind family and we do things fairly. How could we not like anyone's family?" Zhao Liya smiled and spoke sincerely as if she was speaking from the heart.
"But, our dishes have already been reserved with every household in the village. You are late."
Mrs. Gu didn't care whether it was late or not. She said nonchalantly, "What's the point of booking? Just cancel it! Zhao Liya, think it over! Just for such a small matter, you want to go against our Gu family?"
Zhao Liya opened her eyes wide in surprise, a look of astonishment on her face: "Second Sister-in-law Gu, I don't quite understand. How, how is this going against your Gu family? Mother, do you understand?"
Deng shook her head and smiled: "I don't understand either."
"you--"
Zhao Liya added, "But what Second Sister-in-law Gu said makes sense. You all came here out of your own good will. I think these radishes are pretty good, so please keep them. I really don't need the cabbage. I'm really sorry!"
Second Mrs. Gu and Third Mrs. Gu exchanged glances, and it was obvious that neither of them was very satisfied.
But they both knew that although Zhao Liya looked amiable and even smiling, she was actually not easy to talk to.
Now that we're here, it would be embarrassing to leave with nothing.
"OK"
"Okay!" Zhao Liya responded with a smile, and quickly weighed, calculated, and paid. "Goodbye, my two sisters-in-law!"
"snort!"
Zhao Liya glanced at the 20-pound pile of white radishes and said to Mrs. Deng with a smile, "These radishes are pretty good. Let's make them into dried radishes."
Deng smiled gently: "Yes, okay."
She sighed softly, glanced at Zhao Liya, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Mom," Zhao Liya held her hand and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. After the house is built and Uncle Ruan Gui and the others leave, if the Gu family wants to bully us then, my brother and I will have a way to deal with it. Since we don't intend to endure their bullying endlessly in the future, a falling out is inevitable. So why should we endure it now?"
The more you tolerate them now, the more they will become more demanding, their appetites will grow bigger, and they will take it for granted. When the time comes and they turn against you, the backlash will be even greater.
It's not like now. Now they are testing, and my family is also testing.
As a prisoner in exile, living as a servant, she is very aware of the hardships she has endured. Zhao Liya feels that the current situation is already very good.
Better than she imagined!
Many of the bad things she had worried about did not happen!
Of course, we must not get carried away by success, but must be cautious, low-key and cautious.
Mrs. Deng had originally been worried about the village tyrants settling scores, but after hearing her daughter's words, she felt relieved. She nodded and smiled, "Since you've made up your mind, that's good!"
"Well, relax."
It was still early for lunch, so Zhao Liya asked Ruan Sanniang and Aunt Li Shiyi to help her while the sun was shining. They cut the radishes that the Gu family sisters-in-law had forced them to buy into strips and spread them in a flat winnowing basket to dry.
Stir-fried dried radish with garlic sprouts and bacon, add a handful of dried chilies and garlic, it is fragrant and goes well with rice.
Ruan Sanniang and Aunt Li Shiyi also saw and heard what the sisters-in-law of the Gu family were doing. They couldn't help chattering and complaining while sitting together cutting radish strips.
When it comes to the Gu family, there is a lot to say.
Any news that happened in any village in the surrounding area would soon spread to other places. Moreover, Yan Village was special and naturally had a special attraction, so it was not surprising that Aunts Ruan and Li knew about this.
Keep begging, sisters, if you have monthly tickets, vote for 11.
