Chapter 156 Zhang Dashun's Thoughts
The guests were incredibly enthusiastic.
"Sister Zhang, you've finally come to set up your stall!"
"Yes! I ate one of your dishes last time, and I've been craving it ever since!"
"Exactly! Don't be so long away from your stall next time!"
"Give me a bowl of this braised pork first, and save me half a pound of pig's ears too!"
Zhang Chunxue replied with a smile, "I was too busy the past few days, so I couldn't come..."
"I heard you got married a few days ago, Aunt Zhang!" a young man asked, his face full of curiosity.
Zhang Chunxue nodded slightly shyly.
The guests immediately started to jeer.
"No wonder you haven't been setting up your stall for days!"
"If it's about marriage, then there's nothing I can do..."
May you have a long and happy marriage! May you have a long and happy marriage!
Everyone offered their congratulations and best wishes.
Zhang Chunxue chuckled, "Yes, we'll weigh out a lot for everyone later, so we can share in the joy."
Everyone immediately started making a fuss again.
This is the scene that Zhang Dashun saw when he arrived.
He saw that Zhang Chunxue's stall was surrounded by people, all with smiles on their faces, pulling money out of their pockets.
Zhang Dashun was instantly filled with hatred.
What the hell! Zhang Chunxue stole all his business the moment she arrived!
If she really comes every day, how can he continue doing business?
Zhang Dashun couldn't help but recall his previous plans. After hesitating for a moment, he retreated to his stall with a gloomy face.
By the time Zhang Dashun closed his stall in the evening, he had barely touched the braised dishes he had made that day, except for two regular customers who bought a little when they passed by.
Back home, Zhang Dashun's face was still gloomy.
When his wife, Liu Cuicui, saw that he hadn't sold any braised food, she immediately frowned: "Dashun, what's going on? Why is there still so much braised food today? Did you slack off and not set up your stall?"
"Who said I didn't set up my stall?" Zhang Dashun said irritably. "Hasn't my business been stolen? All the customers have gone to buy from other places, how am I supposed to sell anything!"
Liu Cuicui's expression changed: "That widow surnamed Zhang is setting up her stall again?"
Zhang Dashun became even more agitated: "She's not a widow anymore! She's remarried! That's why she hasn't been setting up her stall these past few days!"
Liu Cuicui was also full of annoyance: "That damned widow... Why does she have to steal our business?"
She looked at Zhang Dashun: "Dashun, what should we do about this?"
Zhang Dashun's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Tomorrow, find one of your distant relatives to buy some braised food from her stall, then pretend to have a stomachache and go cause trouble for her, saying that the things she sells are not clean!"
This was a plan that Zhang Dashun had come up with a few days earlier.
Liu Cuicui, however, disagreed.
“So many people buy braised food from her stall, and only one person gets sick. She’ll definitely say it’s because we ate something unclean!” Liu Cuicui frowned. “The best way is to make everyone who buys from her stall get sick!”
A fierce glint appeared in her eyes: "That way, everyone can confirm that the problem lies with what she made!"
Zhang Dashun was stunned for a moment, not expecting his wife to be even more ruthless than him.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "How do I do this?"
Liu Cuicui thought for a moment and said, "Get a packet of rat poison..."
Zhang Dashun jumped up in shock: "Are you crazy! What if someone dies?"
"What are you yelling about!" Liu Cuicui said irritably. "Let's not make too much of a dose, just a little. When so many people take it, we can share it, and there won't be any problems. At most, it'll just be a stomachache!"
Zhang Dashun hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you really alright?"
Liu Cuicui asked impatiently, "What could it be?"
Zhang Dashun frowned deeply: "Even so, how can we administer the medicine?"
Liu Cuicui looked completely unconvinced: "Just put some on her tools later... You go get some rat poison first!"
Zhang Dashun realized he really had no business today, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
The stall sold out quickly today, and Zhang Chunxue took her family home to prepare dinner.
As soon as Song Yanzhe got home, he pulled Song Yanshen close to Zhang Chunxue and said, "Second Aunt, there's something I need to tell you!"
Zhang Chunxue raised an eyebrow: "What is it? Craving braised food again? Don't worry, I saved some for you!"
Song Yanzhe immediately chuckled: "I do want to eat, but there's something more important!"
He then spoke seriously, "Just now, when we were selling braised food, Xiao Shen saw another braised food vendor peeking around nearby. He tugged at me, so I saw him too!"
His expression turned serious: "I saw that guy looked furious, and he was definitely muttering curses under his breath! I'm afraid he thinks we stole his business and he's going to retaliate!"
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Oh? Is that so? Then tell me, if he really wanted to retaliate, what would he do?"
Song Yanzhe's face immediately scrunched up, and he couldn't help but look at Song Yanshen: "Xiaoshen, what do you think?"
Song Yanshen immediately pointed at Zhang Chunxue, then made a eating gesture, clutching his stomach and looking like he was in pain.
Zhang Chunxue immediately understood and couldn't help but laugh again: "Xiao Shen means that they will send people to my stall to buy things and then pretend to have an upset stomach?"
Song Yanshen nodded vigorously.
“That can’t be,” Zhang Chunxue shook her head. “Everyone else ate it and had no problems, but only one person had a problem. Then it must be that person’s problem!”
However, after Song Yanzhe and Song Yanshen said that, Zhang Chunxue's eyes narrowed.
She was indeed on guard.
Things like what Song Yanshen said are easy to solve... but what if Zhang Dashun sneaks into her house and does something?
Zhang Chunxue felt that she needed to be on guard and make some preparations.
Just then, Song Xingzhi returned.
He actually came back to cook dinner because he thought Zhang Chunxue would be out setting up her stall and wouldn't be back until very late. Once he cooked, his Chunxue sister could eat when she got back!
Unexpectedly, when I returned, I found that Zhang Chunxue and the others had already come back.
"Sister Chunxue, you're back so soon?" Song Xingzhi was also a little surprised. "Sold out so early?"
“Yes! Those customers had been waiting for several days, so as soon as I set up my stall, a lot of people came to buy,” Zhang Chunxue said with a smile. “Plus, with so many people helping out today, the speed was naturally faster.”
Song Xingzhi immediately said, "That's because Sister Chunxue's braised dishes and stews are delicious!"
