Chapter 41: Small Disputes in the Market
Liu Yujin cooked all the dishes at home with his wife. As soon as he entered the door, he was criticized by my mother and daughter-in-law: "Why are you only coming back now? Don't you know that your family is very worried?"
"That's it! You should come to your house as soon as you sell it out. Why are you still rushing outside?!"
"I also want to come back quickly! Isn't this happening today? Hong Shun almost started fighting with someone today. I helped me deal with it. After the process was done, I rushed back."
Wang Hongying was frightened and jumped: "What's wrong with my second brother?"
"It's nothing! Isn't this the year-end? There are more and more people selling things at the market. It turns out that the old man who helped Hong Shun take up the seat has not been sold out today, so he moved to the side and moved out a small piece of place to put the eggs on Hong Shun. As a result, the man next to him did not let Hong Shun get in, and they quarreled and quarreled. The two of them both became angry. The more people around him persuaded them, the more they quarreled. They were about to start fighting. I just sent the salty goods to a few ordering aunts and rushed over and scolded Hong Shun. It turned out that Hong Shun was wrong, and he had to rely on the long time to set up the stall. How could that be done?"
Wang Hongying frowned and listened to what her husband said, but she couldn't accept such a situation. She shook her head in confusion: "You are usually very reasonable? He is not the kind of domineering person, why did he do something out of place?"
"Hey!" Liu Yujin nodded, "That boy didn't know that there were eggs in the basket, so he kicked the basket with his feet. Hong Shun insisted that the boy compensated the basket with eggs. That boy couldn't afford it, so he started to do it in two strokes!"
"Did someone pay the money later?"
"I didn't ask others to compensate. The boy himself knew that he should pay for the broken egg, but he couldn't afford it. He heard that he didn't need to pay for it anymore. He also stepped back and moved a lot of places and asked Hong Shun and me to start selling. Fortunately, the twenty or so broken eggs were only cracked in the eggshell, and ten of them were given to the old man who occupied the place. The rest were given to the old customer together."
"Hey! It would be great if the stall could be fixed so that there would be no need to fight."
"Yes! I think so too! But what can I do if I don't do it! I've made so many dishes today, but are relatives from the mountains here?"
"Are you just waiting for you to come back to accompany the guests? Otherwise, you don't care when you will come back! Just in time, you'll go to the front to greet them to get up for dinner."
Wang Hongying felt distressed when Liu Yujin rode his bicycle back and forth so far, but now it was not the time to feel distressed by him. He just wanted to ask him to go to his father-in-law's house to meet several old cousins who had not seen for more than ten years, so that he could come back and sit there to rest.
"Hey! I happened to say a word to my uncle and ask him to take the money to his uncle and his production team to bring back the sand cows I bought."
Wang Hongying was stunned and felt a little unhappy: I did such a big thing without discussing it with her!
Zhu Linglong was so happy that her little feet could not work. Her eldest son raised so many animals, lotus roots and wild rice, and next year he would have to take care of the fish from a large reservoir. The old man would not ask his eldest son to help him work. The second daughter-in-law is a good person and would definitely not let the second son help his uncle go to the field to work. In this way, the field at home can only be the old man slowly grinding his teeth. Now that the eldest son has bought a cow, the old man in her family will save much more effort. One old cow can handle three or four strong labor!
Liu Yujin, who was about to turn around and call someone, was puzzled when he saw his wife not happy and said, "Wang Hongying! Don't you like buying cows at home?"
"I'm not so unhappy?! It's just that you bought a cow so suddenly that you didn't hear me mention it yesterday. You bought this old cow that costs hundreds of dollars. You should say hello in advance so that I can have a clear idea in my heart!"
The daughter-in-law's words sounded quite calm, but the resentment was quite small. Zhu Linglong was a mother-in-law, but she was not the kind of mother-in-law who only knew how to protect her son, and she did not think that the eldest daughter-in-law was unreasonable. She also felt that her son bought a few hundred yuan without discussing with her daughter-in-law. This was wrong. Therefore, she did not think about making an arc for her son, and followed her daughter-in-law to look at her son and see how he explained it.
Of course, Liu Yujin also heard the grievances in his wife's words, scratched her head, and smiled mysteriously: "This is really a good luck! Yesterday I didn't think about buying cows. It was when I came back today. After passing my uncle and his production team, I saw their production team selling cows on the roadside. I saw that my uncle and cousin were both here, so I got out of the car and greeted them. My uncle knew that I had some money in my hand, so he advised me to buy a 2-year-old little sand cow that was just two years old, which was only 300 yuan. This is cheaper than the cows sold by our production team! How dare I delay time? I was afraid that when I came back and discussed, the cows would be gone."
"Why are the cows from their brigades sold now? No one bought their own members?" When the brigades were divided, they started selling the cows to members. The cows from their mother's brigades were only sold until now. Zhu Linglong didn't understand.
Liu Yujin curled his waist and whispered: "Or I'm lucky! The cadres of their brigade are not as honest as those of our brigade cadres. All the cows are really sold to the members, and the money is also distributed to us. The cadres of their brigades have left the cows for their own homes, and the secretary and village chief yi's family left two. As a result! I don't know who asked them to sue them, but people from the superiors supervise them to sell them for their own homes. They are angry! They would rather put them on the side of the road and sell them to outsiders at a bargain than to sell them to their own members.
My uncle originally advised me to buy the cow, and I asked me to buy it first. If I really don’t want it, I will transfer it to him. The cow is so good and so cheap, how could I not want it?! So, I asked two cows at the second time, and I kept the small sand cows at my own house. I secretly bought it for my uncle. Now I asked my uncle to help me watch it and say that after the meal, I would send money and pull the cows back. It was a coincidence that if several relatives from the cadres in the brigade had enough money in the afternoon, I would probably have snatched them all."
Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were cheerful and cheerful. The mother-in-law was happy because her son did not hurt the relationship between the couple. Wang Hongying, who was a daughter-in-law, was happy because this was really sudden and was essentially different from those men who were used to doing things themselves.
