Chapter Eighty-Eight: Threats and Intimidation from Strong Men
Zhou Cuihua saw Liu Pan'er roll her eyes, knowing that Liu Pan'er was resentful of her nephew Li Yuanqing in her heart, "Niece and daughter-in-law, don't be angry that Yuanqing is a Gu family, I heard that our hometown has caused a disaster, so I must be very anxious." Why don't you write her a letter and let him know where we're staying? ”
Liu Pan'er waved her hand, "Forget it, even if I can write a letter now, I don't know who to find to send a letter." Or wait until I get to know a few more people and see if there is a caravan going to the Northwest Pass? Wait until the inquiry is clear, and then send the letter. ”
Li Dabao hurriedly said: "Mother, I also want to write a letter to my father." ”
Liu Pan'er glared at Li Dabao and said angrily: "To write a letter, you have to be able to write, I won't write it for you." If you are a little unconscionable, when you mention your father, you will be so close and raise you for nothing. ”
Li Dabao scratched his head and said with a smile: "Mother, we are with our father and our mother." I learn to write with you, and if you can't write, I'll draw. I want to tell my father that my mother is fine, she loves us very much, and we will also honor my mother. ”
Liu Paner couldn't help laughing, and reached out and nodded Li Dabao's head, "It's pretty much the same, study more seriously in the future, don't be greedy." ”
Li Dabao responded, smiling, "Mother, you must study hard." ”
At this time, someone came to buy melons again, and the mother and mother began to be busy again.
Because of Mrs. Wu's big customer, although there are many melons in Liu Paner's family, they are not sold slower than Zhou Cuihua's family.
In a short time, half of it was sold.
People like to follow the trend, and there are always people in front of the stall, even if they don't know what it is, others will be curious. After tasting it, I think it tastes good, and when I see others buying it, I will buy it too.
By the time Village Chief Li returned, more than half of them had already been sold.
Liu Paner's house still has one and a half baskets left, and Zhou Cuihua's house has two baskets left.
Village Chief Li hurriedly said: "Steward Zhao said that he still needs a basket of melons full of gold and jade, do we still have them?" ”
Zhou Cuihua took a look, "We only have half a basket, and the quality is not good." Yuanqing's family, your melons are good, choose from your family. ”
After selection, Liu Paner put forty melons in the basket of Zhou Cuihua's house, "Uncle, is it smooth to go to Zhao's house?" ”
Village Chief Li nodded and smiled, "Smooth, Steward Zhao has already paid." This is what the shopkeeper of the silk shop Zhao wanted, saying that he would give it to the old customer. ”
Liu Paner smiled: "Congratulations uncle, you hurry up and send it over!" ”
Village Chief Li explained to his wife, "Cuihua, hurry up and give the Yuan Qing family one hundred and sixty yuan, these melons, four yuan each." ”
In fact, Village Chief Li only received 150 catties of melons for selling this basket of melons. He learned from Liu Paner, did business and wiped out the odds, and customers were happy to buy.
Zhou Cuihua nodded, "Don't worry, be in charge!" ”
Zhou Cui counted one hundred and sixty dollars and handed it to Liu Pan'er.
The business of sending melons to Steward Zhao was given to their family by Liu Paner.
Zhou Cuihua knew it in her heart, of course she would not treat Liu Paner badly.
Now there are not many melons left, Liu Paner and Zhou Cuihua patiently sell melons.
Maybe it's because it was picked off, and the people who came to buy melons were a little disgusted.
Liu Paner was also refreshing, buying more would be cheaper, and soon sold out the remaining melons.
There are still a few croissant honey left in Zhou Cuihua's basket, which has been scratched on it, because it is not in good condition, and it cannot be sold.
Zhou Cuihua said with a smile: "Mao Dan, we won't sell these four melons, keep them for us to eat on the road." ”
Mao Dan was delighted, "Thank you, grandma." ”
Although the family grows melons, in order to sell money, they actually don't eat much for their own families.
Zhou Cuihua took down a broom from the ox cart and cleaned the cow dung on the ground and some melon skins with her hands and feet.
Liu Pan'er couldn't cry or laugh when she saw this, this Aunt Cuihua did what she said, and sure enough, she brought a broom and a basket to clean up the cow dung and take it away.
After paying the booth fee, they were about to leave when a strong man blocked their way.
Zhou Cuihua was startled and stammered and asked, "This strong man, what's the matter?" ”
Liu Pan'er stood beside Zhou Cuihua and quietly pulled out the bone razor from the ox cart.
The strong man clenched his fists and said viciously: "In the future, you are not allowed to come to Baisha Town to sell melons!" ”
When Zhou Cuihua heard this, she was immediately anxious, "Why? We also paid the booth fee, and the government didn't prohibit us from selling melons, so why did you forbid us? ”
The strong man shook his fist in front of Zhou Cuihua, "It's just my fist!" ”
Liu Paner has already recognized this strong man as a local melon farmer who sells melons, and he is not really a scoundrel.
Liu Paner admitted that she had seized the family's business, and it was also because of their good melons that they were liked by so many customers.
Liu Pan'er sneered twice and walked in front of Zhou Cuihua, "This big brother, Ming people don't say secret words, our melons from you, we bought them and tasted them." My melon, I think you have also tasted it, it is still free to eat, and it tastes very good. Everyone sells melons according to their abilities, aren't you still convinced? ”
Zhou Cuihua also hurriedly said: "That is, my melons are bigger than yours, better than yours, the price is double that of your melons, we sell better than yours, that is our melons are good, don't steal or rob, do business properly." If you dare to bully us, we will go to the mayor and sue you. ”
Seeing that these two women were not only not afraid, but also quarreled with him, the strong man became even more angry, "Wait until you get out of the town, see if I don't clean you up!" ”
Liu Pan'er raised her eyebrows and looked at the strong man sarcastically, "If you have the ability, you can clean it up now, now that there are many people and someone is fighting, you can be beaten less." If there is no one outside the town, I will beat your mother so that she doesn't know you. ”
"You little girl, you're crazy!" The strong man pointed at Liu Paner's nose and scolded.
Li Dabao scolded: "I actually scolded my mother, I fought with you." ”
After speaking, Li Dabao hit the strong man like a calf.
Liu Paner hurriedly grabbed Li Dabao, so as not to lose others' snacks, "Stay in the back, I don't need you here." ”
Liu Paner stepped forward, with lightning speed, taking advantage of the moment when the strong man stared at Li Dabao, he reached out and held the strong man's fingers hard, broke the back of his hand hard, and kicked the strong man's calf hard with his toes.
"Whew!" The strong man screamed and knelt directly on the ground, "It hurts, it hurts!" ”
Liu Paner let go of her hand and took two steps back, but unfortunately, it was not high heels, the pointed toe kicked on the calf, and all kinds of soreness were guaranteed, which was painful.
Liu Paner gave Zhou Cuihua and Li Dabao a look, "Let's go." ”
Li Dabao got into the ox cart and drove the ox cart away.
Liu Pan'er looked at the strong man struggling to get up from the ground, and shook the bright knife in his hand, "If you're not afraid of death, you'll stop me." It happened to be slaughtered halfway through and thrown in the ditch to feed the fish, and no one found it. ”
The strong man who originally wanted to use his height and strength to teach Liu Paner a hard lesson, when he saw the bright knife in Liu Paner's hand, and also saw Liu Paner's sneer, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
He just relied on his tall appearance to scare people, but he didn't expect these women and children to be so ruthless, they were hard stubble.
He was so frightened that he stayed in place, and when he came to his senses, Liu Paner and his party had already left, so angry that he was red-faced, and he was looked down upon by others in the vegetable market, and laughed.
Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, and I think I'm unlucky!
