While listening to Mei Si speak, Wang Ce Lou also kept an eye on his mother's situation.
The night market here isn't very crowded; the number of people stopping to choose clothes is less than half that of yesterday.
With so few people around, even fewer inquiring about prices, Wang Ma hadn't sold a single item in half a day. She was starting to get anxious. Was the price too high?
"Sister, how much are these clothes?" the young woman asked, holding up two pieces of clothing she liked.
"Ten...ten yuan?" Wang Ma said uncertainly.
Wang Celou rubbed his temples. He was right not to leave; his mother's offer was far too weak.
"Side leak, does your head hurt?" Mei Si stood on tiptoe and reached out to continue massaging Wang Ce Lou's temples.
Wang Celou's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Mei Si's wicked little hands. His temples were a fatal spot, and he knew better than anyone how strong Si Si's hands were.
Wang Celou: If I don't control my strength well, won't I become the first person in history to be pinned to death?
Seeing Wang Ma hesitate, the young woman's eyes lit up. This older sister seemed easy to talk to! She was sure she could get a discount!
"Hey lady, look, I want to buy two items, can you give me a discount?"
The young woman winked at Wang Ma and said.
“This…” Wang Ma wanted to agree immediately.
"Ahem!" Wang Celou coughed, reminding his mother that they shouldn't haggle.
"We can't lower the price." Wang Ma lowered her head, not daring to meet her daughter-in-law's gaze any longer.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you coughing?" Mei Si looked at Wang Ce Lou's face, not noticing he was sick. "Could it be that you're feeling hot?"
"
Mei Si pulled Wang Ce Lou's hand away, intending to touch his forehead to see if it was hot.
"Cough cough cough..." Wang Ce Lou almost choked to death. Mei Si, that girl, is not speaking properly again.
"Look at you, you're sick, why are you out here? Let me pat you down." Mei Si looked at Wang Ce Lou with disapproval.
Wang Celou was busy coughing and couldn't refuse Mei Si's help, so he waved his hand to indicate that Mei Si didn't need it.
"What do you mean? No bargaining, right? Don't worry, I'll explain." Mei Si misunderstood, thinking that Wang Ce Lou was waving his hand to tell Wang Ma that he couldn't sell it cheaply.
Mei Si patted Wang Ce Lou's back repeatedly, then turned and shouted directly at the young woman who was still haggling with Wang Ma.
"I can't lower the price anymore, it'll be 10 yuan a piece."
"Slap!" When Mei Si was talking to the customer, she didn't know how to control the force of her hand.
“…” Wang Ce Lou stumbled, his head almost hitting the lamppost.
"Who are you? I'm negotiating with the boss, what are you doing interrupting?" the young wife glared at the meddlesome Mei Si and said.
"I'm the boss's daughter-in-law." Mei Si was suddenly glared at. Although she felt confused, Mei Si, who did not want to admit defeat, decided to glare back.
Meis opened her eyes as wide as possible and stared intently at the other person, intending to overwhelm them with her imposing manner.
Wang Ce Lou straightened up and looked helplessly at Mei Si, who was glaring at a customer. This girl was indeed unreliable.
Mei Si couldn't multitask. She focused her eyes and her hands simultaneously. She raised her hand from Wang Ce Lou's back and slapped it hard on his back.
Wang Celou sensed something was wrong. He absolutely couldn't let Mei Si slap him. Wang Celou grabbed the lamppost and quickly slid to the other side.
"Buzz~~~!" Wang Celou, who was supposed to be slapped, disappeared, and Mei Si's hand made intimate contact with the lamppost.
The trembling of the lamppost caused the lights overhead to sway as well.
The young woman, who had witnessed Mei Si strike, stiffly raised her head, looked at the swaying streetlights above her, and her face turned somewhat pale.
Mei Si looked around and saw that apart from Ce Lou and this young wife, no one had noticed her slapping the lamppost, which put her at ease.
Mei Si: Too many people will be difficult to manage.
"Um, here's 20 yuan." The young woman didn't dare look at Mei Si anymore. She trembled as she took out the money, not even taking her clothes, and turned to run away.
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Mei Si bent down to pick up the two pieces of clothing, caught up with the young woman in a few steps, pressed her shoulder, and said.
"Huh?" The young wife froze, and it took her a long time to mentally prepare herself before she dared to turn around and look at Mei Si.
"You forgot your clothes." Mei Si handed the clothes to her young wife with a grin, then whispered in her ear, "You know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"
"Oh! I...I didn't see anything...click click..." The young woman forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, took the clothes, and said tremblingly.
"Welcome to come again next time!" Mei Si patted her young wife on the shoulder and said.
When the young woman saw Mei Si pat her shoulder, she immediately remembered the lamppost from earlier, and her face turned deathly pale. She thought she was going to die there!
Meisi glanced at her young wife one last time, then turned back to continue selling clothes.
The young woman wiped the cold sweat from her brow, quickly slipped into the crowd, and ran home as fast as she could.
Young wife: There's a monster in this night market, we need to move quickly!
Wang Celou looked at Mei Si, who was entertaining guests with her mother, and sighed, knowing that Mei Si had completely forgotten about the lamppost.
He turned his head and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then raised his hand and touched the lamppost where Mei Si's handprint was still.
When Wang Celou's hand left the lamppost, there was no handprint left on it except for a dent.
Mei Si thought selling clothes was quite fun. When the customer asked about the price, Mei Si interrupted Wang Ma and told her the price of the clothes first.
"Hey little sister, look, I'm not dressed very well either, so can you give me a discount? I promise you, if you give me a discount, I'll bring all my colleagues over tomorrow to patronize your business."
