Hongxia was stunned after hearing this and didn't know how to refute Aunt Li.
What she said seemed to make some sense.
At this time, Ye Qing spoke.
"Aunt Li, that's not how you calculate it. You're only thinking about how the hens lay eggs, but why don't you consider the feed they eat every day?
Can they lay eggs without eating or drinking every day?"
Hongxia's eyes lit up. Sister Ye Qing was really quick-witted.
Then he echoed, "Yes, I've never seen anyone as calculating as you. You only think about gaining, not giving. There is no such good thing in the world."
Aunt Li choked and then said, "How much can two chickens eat? Just give them some leftovers every day. It doesn't cost any money at all."
Ye Qing, "Aunt Li, what you said is not right. Why don't leftovers count? Don't you spend money on buying groceries and cooking?"
Aunt Li probably felt she was being unreasonable and said, "Then I'll reduce the price by fifty yuan. Fifty yuan for two chickens in two years is definitely enough."
Seeing that she still wanted to ask him for money, Ye Qing said directly, "Aunt Li, my bricks killed your chickens. I will compensate you for the two hens or the money it would cost to buy two hens.
But that doesn't mean you can make such unreasonable demands. When you bought the chicks, did you also pay for the eggs? "
Aunt Li stiffened her neck and said, "These two hens were hatched by my own chickens. I don't need to pay."
Ye Qing didn't want to talk to her anymore. No matter what she said, she would still stick to her own opinion.
"I don't care whether your hens are bought from outside or hatched at home. Now I give you two choices. One is to compensate you with two hens.
Secondly, according to the current market price, a hen is seven dollars and fifty cents, so for two hens, I will compensate you a total of fifteen dollars."
Aunt Li's face flushed with anger. "You think you can get rid of me with just 15 yuan? You're dreaming."
Ye Qing thought that Mrs. Wang's family next door was unreasonable enough, but he didn't expect that Aunt Li was even more important.
"It's just fifteen dollars. If you don't think it's enough, you can call the police or ask the street people. I need to do business now, please leave."
Then he pointed outside and asked her to leave quickly.
Hongxia and Su Jing followed suit, "Let's go quickly. You're delaying our business. Can you compensate us for the loss?"
"Sister Ye Qing has made it very clear. If you agree, I'll give you the money. If it's not easy, just leave quickly."
The neighbors who came to the door to watch the excitement and the customers who came to this street to buy things saw this scene and talked about it.
"Mrs. Li is so unreasonable! How can you kill a hen and still pay for the eggs?"
"I think what she said makes sense. If these two hens don't die, they will definitely lay a lot of eggs in the future."
"Didn't Ye Qing just say that he would compensate her with two hens? These two hens can also lay eggs."
"Is this old lady here to extort money? Seeing that he has a shop and money, she is taking advantage of this to deliberately extort money from him."
"I think so too. If he were normal, he would have taken the fifteen dollars and left long ago."
…
Seeing Ye Qing's firm attitude, Aunt Li knew that she would not be able to get the 250 yuan today.
He said harshly, "Ye Qing, just wait for me. This matter is not over yet."
After saying that, he called his grandson and left with the two dead chickens.
"What happened?" Zhao Meilan came not long after Aunt Li left.
Just now she saw some people gathered in front of the jewelry store and wanted to come over to take a look.
But there were customers in the store at that time, and Xiao Xu went to the bathroom again, so the store had to be left empty.
I had to wait until Xiao Xu came back from the bathroom before I could come.
