Zhang Guilan didn't even know that she now has a group of loyal and stable customers. Even if there is no shortage of food at home, she still has to come and wait for her every morning, buying whatever she sells!
Several customers had a small dispute over watermelons. One person wanted to settle the matter, but the others refused.
Because the road was not good and 100 kilograms of watermelon was too heavy, Zhang Guilan rested several times along the way. When he put down the basket and picked it up, one of the watermelons was cracked. The unusual fragrance filled the surrounding area, which attracted people.
I wanted to empty my pockets and wrap it up.
Liu Cong, who was about to catch the train, happened to pass by and was also attracted by the fragrance. However, before he could get closer, the watermelon was divided one by one.
The crowd dispersed quickly, revealing Zhang Guilan inside.
Liu Cong was stunned for a moment, then turned around suddenly, left quickly, hid in the darkness, and quietly observed Zhang Guilan.
After Zhang Guilan sold out the watermelons, she helped Aunt Ma and Aunt Liu sell things. She heard that the two baskets of things also belonged to her, so she sold them quickly.
In 10 minutes, all the items were sold out, and the three people left with their baskets on their backs.
Liu Cong followed them and got on the train. They were not in the same carriage, and Liu Cong didn't want to face Zhang Guilan now.
He followed the three of them back to Kaoshan Village, watching the other two women leave one after another, and watching Zhang Guilan enter a yard and get busy, where she dried many mushrooms.
Zhang Guilan's attitude was very natural, just like at home.
Then he walked over.
"Aunt Zhang, do you live here? It's nice." He said, staring at the mushrooms on the ground.
So many mushrooms, if dried, weigh about 100 kilograms, and a kilogram of dried mushrooms costs 1 yuan, which is the market price, so this is 100 yuan!
Did she pick it? Great!
When Zhang Guilan heard his voice, she almost threw the broom in her hand.
She looked back at the person outside the fence, and it was really Liu Cong.
"You, why are you here?" She suddenly felt nervous.
When she married into the Liu family, Liu Cong was thirteen or fourteen years old. When he got angry, he beat her frequently, sometimes even harder than Liu Xiangqian.
She didn't dare to fight back. Once she did, everyone in the Liu family, including Liu Cong's uncles and aunts who had been separated, would come over and beat her.
Liu Cong continued to beat her like this for five or six years. It wasn't until Liu Cong was in his 20s, tall and strong, and everyone laughed at him for beating his honest stepmother that he restrained himself.
She was a little afraid of Liu Cong from the bottom of her heart.
Liu Cong knew this and was very proud.
"Did you pick these mushrooms?" Liu Cong asked.
"No, no!" Zhang Guilan immediately shook her head: "I haven't picked any! I have to work, how can I have time to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms?" This is true.
"Who picked that? Whose house is this? Why do you live here?" Liu Cong didn't believe it and asked with a frown.
"This is my newly built house. Since there is open space, my neighbors come over to borrow space to dry mushrooms." Zhang Guilan lied bravely.
If it were before, she would never dare to lie to Liu Cong, but now, she must lie, otherwise the results of her three daughters' hard work for many days will be snatched away by him alone!
As well as future results, he will take them away!
