"Yes, since they already know, I felt bad about overcharging them, so I refunded their money."
"So... does the remaining amount of money match up?" Wang Celou sighed and asked.
"..." Wang Ma lowered her head and looked at the money in her hand, without saying a word.
After listening for a while, Wang's father finally understood what was going on. It turned out that his wife, like his mother-in-law, wasn't cut out for business.
"Are you still selling these clothes?" Mr. Wang asked, looking back and forth between the two of them, breaking the silence.
"Sell!" Wang Ma and her son replied in unison.
“We can sell, but we can’t buy from there anymore,” Wang Celou said, glancing at his energetic mother.
"Huh? Not there anymore? Where to go then? Isn't the night market great?" Aunt Wang thought the night market sold clothes quickly and didn't want to change locations.
"..." Wang Ce Lou looked at his mother speechlessly, she didn't even know why they couldn't go there anymore.
“You sold it so cheaply today, everyone knows now. If you go again tomorrow, will you still be able to get a good price?” Wang’s father reached out and tapped his silly daughter-in-law’s head, saying.
"Oh, right. Hey? Wang Aiguo, who told you to do that? You've got guts now, haven't you?" Wang's mother nodded, then suddenly realized something was wrong. She turned to look at her husband's withdrawn hand and pinched him hard.
"Ouch! What are you doing? I just poked you, and you..."
Wang Celou silently left his parents' room and returned to his own.
"Judging by the time, Sisi should be back in a few days, right?"
Mei Si, whom Wang Celou was worried about, returned home the next morning. Her journey had been too "arduous," and she didn't even have time to say a few words to her family before going to bed.
Mei Si slept until after 2 p.m. before stretching and getting out of the house. At that time, only Grandma Mei was at home.
When Grandma Mei saw her granddaughter get up, she quickly took out the porridge that was warming in the pot and brought it to her granddaughter.
"You must be exhausted this time. Don't participate in so many projects next time," Grandma Mei said, looking at her granddaughter who had lost weight.
"Participating in the competition wasn't tiring, it was the way back that was exhausting," Mei Si said, picking up her spoon and taking a sip of porridge.
"You were tired on the way back? Is flying that tiring? I've never heard you say that before."
"No, I came back by boat this time."
"Oh! The boat trip must be tiring. Why don't you go take a nap after you finish eating?"
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Sleeping for so long makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
"How many days off have you given this time? Or is it half a month?"
"I don't know, the coach told us to wait for their notification. Grandma, what have you been doing these past few days with the leak?"
“Ce Lou, he’s been so busy these past few days. He has to take his mom to the night market to sell clothes every day.”
Selling clothes?
Meskabakaba eyes, did Wang Ma go to sell clothes?
"Speaking of this, we have to talk about Yu Guiping. She's already quite old, yet she wanted to try doing business, but she..." Grandma Mei finally found someone who didn't know about Yu Guiping's affair. She pulled her stool closer to her granddaughter and began to talk about what had happened these past few days.
"Oh, is that so! Ah? Oh~!" Mei Si listened to Grandma Mei talk while eating. Occasionally, when Grandma Mei paused, she would speak up to let her know that she was listening.
After finishing her meal, Mei Si went out to the Wang family to find Wang Ce Lou. Mei Si arrived at the perfect time; she just happened to catch Wang Ce Lou leaving to take Wang Ma to the night market.
"Sisi? Is the Asian Games over?" Wang Celou raised an eyebrow when he saw Mei Si enter the courtyard, thinking that she had returned a little early.
"Sisi's back? When did you get back?" When Wang Ma saw Meisi, she quickly pulled Meisi to her side to take a look.
"Why have you lost weight? Is the food over there not good?" Wang Ma touched Mei Si's face and felt that her face was obviously not as chubby as before.
"They give out very little food over there, but they have plenty of pickled vegetables," Mei Si said, pursing her lips.
"Is there no meat?"
"Yes, but the amount given is extremely small."
"How can they not give Sisi meat? They're so stingy! Sisi, come over for meat tomorrow at noon, we have to make up for it."
"No need, my grandma will make it for me tomorrow. You still have business to do," Mei Si said, pointing to the large bag behind Wang Ce Lou.
"Oh dear! I've been so busy talking, I have to go now. Lou Lou, don't bother seeing me off today, I'll go by myself!" Wang Ma nudged her son, signaling him to get off the bike, intending to ride there herself.
“No, I…” Wang Ce Lou shook his head. It was late at night, and he was worried about his mother coming back alone.
"I'll go with you. Which night market are you going to? I'll go home and ride my bike." Waiting at home is so boring. Mei Si came over at this time because she wanted to go to the night market with them.
"Why go home? Just ride my bike," said Wang Ma, pointing to the bicycle parked in the corner.
When they arrived at another smaller night market, Wang Celou stopped at an intersection and got out of the car to help Wang Ma spread out the billboards.
Mei Si had never seen a street vendor before and didn't know what to do. After Wang Ma and Wang Ce Lou laid out the order slips, Wang Ce Lou was about to get up to get the big bag from the back seat of the car, so she quickly took the bag down first.
"Sisi, don't worry about it, just let Loulou take it."
"It's not heavy, where should I put this?" Mei Si picked up the bag but didn't know what to do with it.
"Give it to me, just leave it here." Wang Ma waved her hand, indicating that Mei Si should put the bag at her feet.
"Alright, we don't need you two here anymore, you can go back!" Wang Ma squatted down, opened her bag, and started putting clothes on the list.
"I think I'll stay today." Wang Celou was very worried about his mother, so he decided to stay and keep an eye on her.
"No need, no need, you should go back now!" Wang Ma glared at her son and said.
“Auntie, I want to stay too. I’ve never seen what it’s like to sell clothes in my own home.” Mei Si squatted down and said with a grin.
"Hey, what else can it be? They're all the same! You can stay a little longer before you leave, but don't stay too long, it's tiring to stand there." After giving this instruction, Wang Ma began to focus on doing business and collecting money.
"Why are you back so early? The sports meet isn't over yet, is it?" Wang Ce Lou asked in a low voice.
"I don't know why I came back so early. Let me tell you, I suffered a lot this time!" Mei thought of the dozen or so hours on the ship and suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
"Hmm?" Wang Ce Lou raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised to see Mei Si looking so aggrieved. Could Mei Si really be wronged?
"Coach Chen, a few teammates, and I came back by boat. It took a long time, and I felt nauseous and dizzy."
"By boat? Why did you suddenly come back by boat? Is it just the few of you who came back?" Wang Ce Lou asked, frowning.
The number of people is clearly wrong. Could something have happened?
What happened to you over there?
