"That rascal is pretty clever; he even knew to come and deliver the message."
"Great, great, I've decided. When we get back, I'm going to treat him to peanut candy." Gu Yanliu praised him with a smile.
Su Nianxue chuckled, "Didn't you dislike him? Now you're willing to treat him to candy?"
“One thing at a time, I just don’t get along with their family.”
But this kid helped us a lot, and I'm not a stingy person, so I'm willing to treat him to a piece of candy.
Besides, I've never disliked Gou Dan and the others; I've always disliked Aunt Yang.
If it weren't for her, Sister Peach and Brother would have gotten together long ago, and their child might be as big as Dog Egg by now.
"My brother wouldn't be living such a miserable life now." Gu Yanbai's tone was filled with undisguised bitterness when he talked about this.
Su Nianxue sighed silently; this problem was almost unsolvable.
Grandma Yang wanted to find a wife for her disabled son so that the Yang family line could continue.
But what perfectly good girl would want to marry a man who has a limp?
In the village, having a limp means losing the ability to work.
Which girl would willingly marry into this family and suffer?
If Taozi doesn't go through the marriage exchange, then Gangzi will have to spend a large sum of money on betrothal gifts to get a wife.
But at that time, Grandpa Gu was an old man raising several teenagers, so where would he come up with that dowry that was almost an astronomical sum?
The woman is already married, and the man is already married; it's too late to say anything now. "Let's just watch the show!"
Gu Yanliu was quickly drawn into the events unfolding on the field.
The once bustling market quickly fell silent, with everyone watching the scene with amusement.
Even the street vendors forgot to call out their wares.
It's been a long time since I've seen something this lively.
The vegetable vendors weren't in a hurry to buy vegetables anymore; they all stood aside with their baskets, pointing and commenting on them.
At the same time, I was also secretly hoping that it might get even cheaper later.
Who would complain about having too much money?
Making money is not easy these days; every penny saved counts.
Seeing that no one seemed interested in buying, Aunt Luhua and Aunt Lanhua grew anxious.
The price has already dropped so much, why can't it be sold?
The two men glanced at the basket in front of them, gritted their teeth, and cried out with pained expressions, "It's 11 cents a pound now."
The other two bean sprout vendors were heartbroken; these two old women really dared to shout like that.
In just a short time, the price dropped by a full four cents per pound.
But they had no other choice but to accept their bad luck.
If you sell it now, you can still make a profit; if you can't sell it, you'll suffer a huge loss.
So he joined in, shouting, "Selling bean sprouts, 11 cents a pound!"
The vegetable vendors stopped waiting once the prices stabilized.
They all went to buy bean sprouts in twos and threes.
Gu Yanliu was thoroughly enjoying the show; serves you right for bullying us!
They're trying to squeeze us out!
Moreover, it was greedy, producing twice as many bean sprouts as it had at the market.
Now they can't sell them anymore, right?
Serves him right!
Seeing the frustrated faces of Aunt Luhua and Aunt Lanhua, she felt a sense of satisfaction, thinking, "I wish I could make you two vomit to death later."
But why did you stop shouting?
"Sister-in-law, why did they stop shouting?"
"The price has already dropped by four cents. Who wouldn't feel the pinch?"
"It used to cost 18 cents a pound at the market, but now it's only 11 cents. You can see how much the stall owners hate those two."
Indeed, if the glint in the eyes of those two stall owners could kill, they would probably have been torn to pieces by now.
In no time, the market returned to normal. Gu Yanliu was a little bored. "Sister-in-law, shall we continue looking?"
"Let's see how it goes. Anyway, we have nothing else to do when we get back."
The two of them are now quite free; they don't need to tend to the crops in the fields anymore, they just need to wait for the harvest.
The tools used for making tofu weren't made properly.
As for the bean sprouts, Gu Yanbai has already helped sell them, and now they have plenty of time to watch the show.
Su Nianxue suddenly felt that her future was bright and full of promise!
How wonderful it would be to have both money and leisure time like this!
"Ice popsicles for sale! Ice popsicles for sale!"
At the intersection, in the shade of a tree, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat was pushing a bicycle.
A wooden box painted red was strapped to the vehicle, and the box was covered with a thick cotton quilt.
He was heading towards the vegetable market, shouting loudly.
Upon hearing the voice, Gu Yanliu immediately perked up, "Sister-in-law, I'll go buy two popsicles!"
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead!" he said, reaching for his wallet to pay her.
"No need, you forgot, I have money." Gu Yanliu ran over in a flash.
After opening the box and looking inside, he turned back and called out, "Sister-in-law, what flavor do you want?"
"Just a regular white sugar popsicle will do."
Gu Yanliu nodded and said to the uncle, "Uncle, could you get me a white sugar popsicle and an orange one?"
The uncle picked two popsicles out of the box and handed them to her, saying, "Here, five cents total!"
Gu Yanliu took the popsicle and returned to the shade of the tree. The two of them ate popsicles while watching the lively scene.
The sun was getting hotter and hotter, so Aunt Luhua picked up the towel draped around her neck and wiped the sweat from her face.
The number of people at the market is decreasing, but they still have more than half a basket of bean sprouts piled up in front of them.
If these can't be sold, we might even lose the money we would have made from selling the mung beans.
It's also her fault for being greedy; she thought she had made money at the last market, so she wanted to do more.
The two whispered to each other, wondering if they should lower the price again.
