Chapter 80 Daughter-in-law, come and help me(1/2)
Si Chen, on his side, was leisurely helping Uncle Gui guard the stall.
The lady selling clothes next to her started chatting with Si Chen.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
It turned out that she heard Si Chen talking about Si Li Ge.
The clothes in her hands were purchased from Sili Ge.
Of course, the vendors selling clothes in the market also buy their goods from Sili singers.
Si Chen chatted with the eldest sister to get some information.
What he didn't notice was that in the distance, next to his own tractor bucket, the aunt was sneaking closer.
Seeing an opportunity, the aunt quickly took a pair of sandals from the car compartment covered with plastic sheeting, and ran away with her waist high.
A little while ago, Uncle Gui waved to Si Chen at the end of the market.
"Sister, I'd like to trouble you to keep an eye on your uncle."
Si Chen politely explained before leaving.
"Don't worry!" The eldest sister was very enthusiastic.
These vendors who have been running stalls in towns and villages for many years are all familiar with each other.
Who hasn’t had a moment of emergency?
Therefore, adjacent stalls take good care of each other.
After Si Chen passed by, Uncle Gui and four other people were waiting.
He looked at the faces of the five people and found that they were all quite kind, thinking that nothing had happened.
After passing by, Si Chen smoked cigarettes for the men one by one and recognized them one by one.
The two ladies laughed and joked:
"Young man, why don't you give us one of your popsicles?"
"No, it's a fragrant and sweet orange-flavored popsicle!"
Si Chen was thick-skinned and replied with a smile:
"The orange flavor is gone today. Another day, I'll treat you two to watermelon flavor, the kind with pulp, and put sugar in it. It must not be saccharin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Once you laugh, it’s serious business.
Uncle Gui spoke on behalf of everyone: "Si Chen, we have discussed it, and we can get the goods from you."
"Yeah." Si Chen listened carefully.
"But, Sun Sancai's brother is Sun Tai, the deputy county magistrate in charge of business in our county."
"Although, your seventh uncle is Song Tianfu from the Commerce Bureau, but, what, Ang~"
"I know." Si Chen understood, and Song Tianfu returned to Sun Tai's charge.
"So, if something happens that is beyond our control, you can't blame us if we don't get the goods from you."
"I understand." Si Chen took a puff of cigarette and said silently in his heart:
Soon, Sun Tai was no longer there.
With these words, the rest of the conversation went smoothly.
After finalizing the price, they planned to go to Si Chen's home to look at the goods after closing the stall.
They have to go to Heijin Town for the market tomorrow and they need to replenish some goods.
Although I was pushed by Si Chen all morning today, I still sold some in the afternoon.
However, the revenue is two-thirds less than usual!
The small meeting here was about to end when an old man and a young man came out of the alley next to them.
The aunt who was holding the little girl was still lecturing her granddaughter, saying:
"How old is your cousin? Huh? Are you trying to steal a dress from her? Didn't you see the look on your sister-in-law's face?"
"Grandma went out for a walk and dropped you off at your sister-in-law's house so she could watch you."
"How about you, are you trying to steal a dress from your little cousin? You damn girl!"
The little girl was about seven or eight years old. She was so angry that she yelled:
"I am your granddaughter, and that is your granddaughter. I have a grandma, so there is no need for you to stick up and buy dresses for me! Why don't you buy them for me?"
"You little white-eyed wolf! Didn't grandma buy you sandals? What are those on your feet?"
"Grandma! What are you talking about? Look, what kind of sandals did you buy? They don't look like my feet at all. They are at least two sizes too big!"
Just as the aunt was about to spank the child, she suddenly caught sight of Si Chen from the corner of her eye, and she instantly froze on the spot.
Si Chen held a cigarette crookedly in his mouth, narrowed his eyes, came closer, and said in a neutral tone:
"Auntie, did you forget to give me the money for the sandals?"
When the aunt heard this, she turned around and ran away.
Uncle Gui, who was always strong, rushed forward and blocked the aunt's way.
Several vendors immediately realized that these sandals were probably stolen by this aunt.
Who would buy sandals that big for their kids?
The aunt pretended to be dumbfounded, sneered and said:
"Young man, are you kidding me? When did I buy your sandals?"
Si Chen thought about the children, so he threw the cigarette butts to the ground, destroyed them, and said:
"You did some bidding at my stall. You know how much these shoes cost."
It's the most expensive sandal that sells for fifteen dollars without any counter-offering.
"I went to the stall today and I only brought one pair of these girls' sandals in each size."
"When I closed the stall, these were the only ones left in the largest size."
"And this is my exclusive style, I am the only one in the whole market who has it."
Si Chen's words were all warnings, hoping that this aunt would give him some face.
He felt compassion for the little girl and did not want to embarrass her grandma in front of the child.
Unexpectedly, that aunt was very stubborn and would persist to the end:
"I don't understand what you are talking about! I bought these shoes at another stall, what do they have to do with you?"
Si Chen pointed to the five people in front and behind him and asked:
"The bosses who sell shoes are all here. Take a look, who did you buy them from?"
The aunt choked, and then she had time to look at the people carefully.
you do not say!
They were all old acquaintances whom she had engaged in high-priced affairs.
The aunt blushed and said unwillingly:
"I don't have fifteen yuan with me. Just wait, I'll call my daughter to get the money."
"I don't want her money to buy me sandals!" The little girl almost burst into tears. She probably understood what was going on and said:
"If you don't buy them for me, you won't buy them. Why are you stealing other people's shoes?!"
When the aunt heard this, she became angry and tried to slap her granddaughter in the face.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Si Chen pulled the little girl away, but the aunt's slap missed her.
Most adults spank their children because they are weak and can easily be used as a target to vent their emotions.
Sometimes, if you think about it carefully, would you dare to slap a child so easily if the target was an adult?
We treat adults with respect, but we slap children lightly.
The little girl was so angry that she burst into tears, kicked off her pair of large sandals, and said in a soft voice:
"Uncle, take your shoes back. Even if I'm barefoot, I don't want stolen sandals!"
Si Chen felt a pang in his heart, this was just a child and she had done nothing wrong.
He slowly squatted down, picked up the crooked sandals and placed them at the little girl's feet, saying:
"Uncle, these shoes also have a purchase price. You, give uncle a purchase price."
When the little girl heard this, she immediately stopped crying, her eyes lit up, and she asked:
"Really? How much did you pay for it?"
Not to mention the aunt's calculations, even the other vendors wanted to know how much these sandals cost.
