When Yu Guiping arrived home, she ran into her neighbor, Old Mrs. He, in the courtyard. When she saw Yu Guiping carrying such a big bag, she asked Yu Guiping what was inside.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just something my daughter gave me."
"Your daughter is really something. Since she brought you things, why didn't she just deliver them to your home? Instead, she made you carry them back yourself." Old Mrs. He thought Yu Guiping's daughter was too careless. Yu Guiping is so old, what if she gets hurt carrying so many things?
"Hehe, the child is busy. The things aren't heavy, I can carry them. I'm going home now." Yu Guiping smiled awkwardly, suddenly feeling a little sorry for her daughter. She should hurry home; the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
Sitting in the office, Wang Ma suddenly sneezed twice. She rubbed her nose, looking puzzled.
"Could it be a cold? It's so hot outside, it can't be?"
On her first day of setting up her stall, Yu Guiping didn't sell a single piece of clothing. She felt it must be because she hadn't chosen the right place; she shouldn't have gone to that clothing street.
People who go there are all there for the clothing stores; nobody looks at the clothes on the street stalls.
The next day, Yu Guiping chose a park entrance not far from her home.
This time, Yu Guiping was more experienced; she not only brought a water bottle but also a small stool.
Yu Guiping found a big tree and began to spread out her tattered bed sheet.
But after the clothes had been on display for a while, only a few old ladies with children came over to take a look, without even asking the price. Yu Guiping's expression began to darken.
Yu Guiping sat at the park entrance all morning, drinking a lot of water, but still didn't sell a single piece of clothing.
Yu Guiping felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger. Why could Meng Juhua buy a car and a house just by selling clothes, while she sold clothes but no one came to buy them?
Yu Guiping became increasingly angry and decided to pack up her stall and go home, refusing to sell anymore!
"Auntie, how much are these clothes?" Chen Jing walked up to the stall, squatted down, and started rummaging through the pile of clothes to find something suitable for herself.
"I'm not selling it anymore!" Yu Guiping rolled her eyes, snatched the clothes from Chen Jing's hand, stuffed them into her pocket, and said angrily.
"Auntie, why aren't you selling them? I really like these items," Chen Jing asked patiently.
Seeing that Chen Jing was still so polite despite her attitude, Yu Guiping felt a little embarrassed.
"Then...then you choose, I'll sell it to you cheaply." Yu Guiping took out the clothes that Chen Jing had chosen from her pocket and said.
"Thank you in advance, Auntie." Chen Jing smiled at Yu Guiping and continued picking out clothes.
Chen Jing finally selected four pieces of clothing, and after comparing them to make sure she could wear them, she decided to buy them all.
"Auntie, how much do these cost in total?"
"30 yuan." Yu Guiping took out her notebook, looked at the prices, and directly quoted Chen Jing the cost price.
"Auntie, it's so cheap, how can you make a profit?" Chen Jing thought these would cost at least 40, but Yu Guiping said 30.
"I already said I'd sell it to you cheaply, and this is all you give me!" Yu Guiping waved her hand impatiently.
"Alright then! Here's 30 yuan, please count it." Chen Jing reluctantly took out the money and handed it to Yu Guiping.
As soon as Chen Jing left, Yu Guiping packed up her stall and went home. She felt that she had been deceived by Meng Juhua. The clothes were not as easy to sell as she had said.
Yu Guiping: Meng Juhua's car, shop, house, etc., are definitely all fake. She must be holding a grudge against me for looking down on her back then, and she's deliberately trying to scam me!
When Yu Guiping returned home, she looked at the room full of clothes and felt a pang of anger in her chest. That was all money! Money she had saved for many years!
After finally finishing her work, Wang Ma was given a few days off by her supervisor. She went home that night, stayed overnight, packed a few clothes, and went back to her parents' home the next day.
As soon as Wang Ma entered the house, she saw Grandma Yu sitting in the living room, sulking and eating sunflower seeds, cursing as she did so, with the shells scattered all over the floor.
"Mom, what's wrong? Who upset you?" Wang Ma put the bag on the table, went outside to get a broom, and came back to sweep up the sunflower seed shells.
"It's that Meng Juhua again!" Yu Guiping patted her hands, stood up, and began to pace around the room silently.
"Aunt Meng, what's wrong with her? Didn't you think she was nice just a few days ago? What did she do to offend you?" Wang Ma looked at Grandma Yu, who was walking back and forth on sunflower seed shells, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. She knew that the floor couldn't be swept for the time being.
Wang Ma simply sat down on the stool, intending to ask the two of them what kind of conflict they had. The two of them were over a hundred years old combined, so why were they acting like children?
"She...is fine!" Yu Guiping paused, swallowing back what she wanted to say next.
This was too embarrassing, and Yu Guiping didn't want anyone to know; she still had a sense of shame!
Seeing that Grandma Yu didn't want to talk, Wang Ma didn't force her, and instead brought up the fact that she was going to stay there for a few days.
"Huh? Stay here? Why?" Yu Guiping panicked a little. She hadn't even packed her clothes in her little house yet, and her daughter couldn't stay here.
"Mom, do I need a reason to go back to my parents' house?" Wang's mother looked at her flustered mother suspiciously, thinking that something must be wrong!
“Did you and Aiguo have a fight? You’re not young anymore, can’t you be more mature? Aiguo is such a good-tempered boy! You should be grateful!” Yu Guiping said, pretending to be concerned for her daughter.
"Mom! What are you hiding from us? You're actually speaking up for Wang Aiguo? Didn't you despise him the most?" Wang's mother looked at Grandma Yu in disbelief, strongly suspecting that her mother had been switched at birth in S City!
