That night, Ye's father came into the house angrily.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Who are you angry with?"
Ye's mother was the first to notice that something was wrong with Ye's father, and she hurried over to ask him questions.
Father Ye was so angry that he took a few deep breaths before he calmed down. "I'm really pissed off today. There's suddenly a braised meat stall in front of our shop.
You could have just said he was selling braised meat and put it further away so we wouldn't be in each other's way. But this guy insisted on setting up his stall right in front of our store.
Not only was it blocking the road, it was also stealing our business. The most infuriating thing was that those who came to buy meat mistakenly thought that the stall was set up by our family, and the damn stall owner just laughed it off and didn't deny it.
Tell me, what is this?
Because of this, I specifically went to the stall owner and asked him to move his stall, but he not only disagreed, but also scolded me for being too nosy, saying that the street belongs to everyone and he can set up his stall wherever he wants!
After hearing what Ye's father said, Ye's mother also became a little angry, "How could this person be like this!
What happened next?
Later, the third brother and I worked together to move that person and his stall away, but even so, I was still angry.
"After all this talk, do you know that person?"
"I'm still so angry because I know him. He was the vendor selling sweet soup next to me."
"Him? I remember you used to give him meat frequently. How could you do such a thing?
How infuriating! What about tomorrow? Will that person still be like today?
Mother Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could it be that he was chasing people away every day?
When Chen Ruxue came back from school, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Ye sitting face to face with sad faces.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back! What's wrong with you? You don't look well!"
"Xiaoxue, let me tell you..."
After listening to the descriptions of Ye's mother and father, Chen Ruxue felt speechless.
Unscrupulous competition is never lacking in any era.
But what else can we do? Either we rely on our own strength to crush the opponent, or we rely on absolute force to intimidate the opponent.
I'm only afraid that it will bring about that person's malicious revenge. I'm not worried if it happens openly, but I'm afraid that he will use some shady tricks behind my back.
After all, their store sells food, something edible, and they are most afraid of people doing bad things behind the scenes.
Unless there is a way to allow both parties to reach a consensus, achieve mutual benefit, and no one will hinder anyone else!
Chen Ruxue kept thinking about how to better solve the problem, and she didn't even stop eating.
Finally, before going to bed, she actually came up with a solution.
Chen Ruxue didn't hesitate and went straight to find Ye's father and mother.
"Dad, Mom, I have an idea.
You see, when we opened a shop, we believed in making money through harmony. The reason why that person also sold braised meat was because he was jealous of our business.
In that case, why not give him some convenience?
Mom and Dad, tomorrow you should pay attention to the man selling braised meat and see how his business is going!
If sales are not good, you can negotiate terms with him. He can buy braised meat and cooked food from us at a low price in the future, but the prerequisite is that he cannot sell it near our delicatessen.
I think my mother's craftsmanship is very good. Most people probably can't learn it even if they want to. Instead of wasting money every day, that person might as well cooperate with us.
If that person is really smart, he will definitely agree to this idea."
Ye's father and mother looked at each other, a little hesitant, "Is this possible? Will they agree?"
"Let's give it a try first. If it works, both of us will be happy. If that person insists on doing it his own way, don't blame us for being rude to him.
Our family is not a pushover, we can be bullied as he pleases."
As Chen Ruxue spoke, her hands couldn't help but make a crackling sound!
After hearing what she said, Ye's father and mother finally felt relieved and could finally go back to their room and sleep peacefully.
The next day, Ye's mother handed the child to Aunt Liu and Liu Shanhua, and went to the delicatessen with Ye's father.
Sure enough, before noon, the man selling sweet soup came to the store door pushing a tattered tricycle and blocked the door again.
This time, neither Ye's father nor his mother went out to chase people away. Instead, they hid in the house and carefully observed the stall at the gate.
As a result, apart from a few people who bought braised meat from him, no one patronized his stall at all.
The man was so anxious that he was spinning around.
During lunch, Ye's father and mother felt a little sorry for the man who was standing in front of the stall looking pitiful.
Father Ye brought a bowl of steamed rice with a few of Mother Ye's specialties on top, then walked out the door and went straight to the man. "Brother, you haven't eaten yet, right? Your sister-in-law steamed some steamed rice for me, so you can have some."
When the stall owner saw the fragrant rice in Ye's father's hand, his stomach rumbled.
He made almost no money in the past two days and even lost a lot of money. He has been scolded by his wife several times. For this reason, his wife did not prepare any dry food for him.
To be honest, he didn't want to be such a jerk. It was all for the sake of the children at home.
His youngest son is already old enough to marry, but the girl he likes insists on the three big things. They can prepare a bicycle and a sewing machine by piecing together some pieces, but the difficulty lies with the radio.
Forced into a corner, he saw that the delicatessen next door was doing good business, so he had an idea.
Father Ye stuffed the bowl and chopsticks directly into the stall owner's hands, "Eat quickly, and when you're done, go inside and have a drink of water!"
The stall owner held the bowl and watched Ye's father enter the shop. Without hesitation, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
No one noticed that a tear rolled into the bowl.
Just as Mr. and Mrs. Ye had cleared the table, they saw the stall owner standing at the door, hurriedly inviting people in.
As soon as the stall owner entered the door, he bowed deeply to Ye's father and mother, "Brother and sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. I apologize to you for what I did these past two days."
"Stop saying that, it's not easy for everyone.
But, brother, I can show you a way.
I've seen your stall, and it's pretty empty. So, would you be willing to buy some cooked food from us and sell it there?
I can’t say anything else, but based on your sister-in-law’s craftsmanship, you can definitely make a lot of money.
However, as you can see, our street is only this big, and there are only so many people. If you accept my suggestion, you have to agree that I can't sell it nearby, but you can sell it somewhere else."
The stall owner stared at Mr. and Mrs. Ye, trying to understand what he said, his eyes full of disbelief, "If such a good thing could really happen, I'd really get the upper hand.
I do, I very much do."
God knows, he had thought about this idea before, but he really didn't dare to say it out loud because he was afraid of being beaten and scolded out.
