Dressed as an evil mother-in-law, I will clean up and take the whole family away

Listening to the cries, the man selling melon seeds stopped eating melon seeds. His business was good. The melon seeds and peanuts cost ten cents a pound, and he had already sold half of them. Now he has money in his pocket, and he is confident, plus his family We are short of rice. He craned his neck to see. Others were selling the same rice for sixty cents per catty, but Gu Panhui was selling it for fifty cents. How could it be less if he bought more?

Just to take advantage of this, he suppressed his unhappiness and asked:

"How to sell it?"

Gu Panhui's face was ugly, and he subconsciously looked across the way. Several people had already gathered around his mother's stall. He didn't know how to face his parents if he couldn't sell it.

Immediately, a fake smile appeared on his face: "Twenty catties forty-five, fifty catties forty, one hundred catties thirty-five, the more, the cheaper."

He had heard people selling it like this when he went to Mancheng, and he imitated it. Unexpectedly, two more people stopped to watch after he said it. One of them even reached out to grab a handful, picked one and put it in his mouth to chew.

Passers-by and Gu Panhui couldn't help but watch intently.

Is it possible that the food can still taste good or bad?

The man who tasted the rice nodded and threw the rice in his hand back into the bag: "Almost, give me twenty kilograms."

Twenty pounds!

The corners of Gu Panhui's mouth raised, he hurriedly grabbed the millet bag, scooped rice into it with a bowl until it was full, and then took out the steel scale.

Every tenth point on the side of the scale beam is a vertical line, which represents one kilogram. There is a short line between the two lines, which represents half a kilogram, and can weigh up to twelve kilograms. There are round holes marked on the top. The small round holes are one pound each, and the big round holes are ten pounds each, for a total of sixty pounds.

Gu Panhui poked a small hole with the hook of the scale, tightened it two millimeters, slid the scale weight to the second vertical line, and the scale beam went down. He scooped half the bowl into the rice bag, and the scale beam opened instantly.

He smiled and prepared to tie the hemp rope tightly at the mouth of the sack: "Master, a total of nine hundred coins."

Hearing this address, the man's face lit up with joy, he took out a couple of silver coins from his pocket and handed it over: "Put it all together."

Gu Panhui didn't expect it to work so well, and the smile on his face instantly became sincere: "Okay."

He added twenty-two and a half kilograms, tied the rope tightly and handed it over.

The man saw that he was also generous and left happily after giving him a couple of silver. He thought he had gained an advantage.

Some people took the initiative, and others were happy to buy it here. It was cheap, not to mention generous. Although it was not much more, it was much more comfortable than other people's mediocre scales.

Suddenly people lined up to buy.

Gu Panhui was so busy that his forehead was covered with sweat, and he enjoyed it.

Lin Ling and the two opposite were not idle either.

Different regions have very few grapes, and most of them are eaten by rich people. They sell them for twelve cents per catty, and a bunch is about one catty. If there are more, don't harvest more, and if you have less, you can replenish them. They are sold out in a short time.

The remaining beef jerky sells for eighty cents.

Some people know the goods and know that this beef jerky sells for 100 cents per catty elsewhere. After tasting a small piece, it tastes good, so they buy a lot.

It’s just that I buy half a catty of food. After all, it’s too much, so I might as well buy some rice, chicken, etc., and still have enough to eat.

Two hours later, the rice was sold out, and there were still about three kilograms of beef jerky left.

Seeing that Gu Qingshan hadn't come yet, Lin Ling pressed Gu Panhui on the chair and said, "Watch the sale. When the sale is over, go to the wooden workshop to find us."

After saying that, she carried most of the money and walked into the crowd with Madam Yu.

It was already noon, and the weather was hot. Being squeezed into a crowd made it twice as hot and stuffy. After finally squeezing into an empty street, the two of them wiped their sweat and walked slowly while breathing heavily.

After about a moment, she walked to the gate of the wood workshop. Lin Ling walked in and immediately caught the carpenter's attention. Someone had seen her and shouted at the top of her voice: "Sister-in-law Gu, do you want to buy anything?" Lin Ling's mouth straightened. Twitching, this man was unshaven and looked to be over 40 years old. She almost didn't realize that the sister-in-law was calling her. She calmed down for two seconds and then shook her head and asked, "I want to ask, has Qingshan come here?"

The man shook his head: "I didn't see it."

"Thank you."

Just when he turned his back, Lin Ling's smile was covered in indifference. From the memory of the original owner, Gu Qingshan has been an honest and stubborn image. The last time he disappeared was three years. How long will it take to disappear this time?

Mrs. Yu wanted to say something, but seeing her lifeless, it was like the calm before the storm. No matter what she said, it would be more real than seeing a human being.

"Think about where else he might go?"

She followed closely, really worried that something would happen.

After hearing this, Lin Ling turned to look at Madam Yu, but her eyes seemed to be looking at something else through her. As memories flashed through her, she realized that the original owner didn't care about Gu Qingshan at all, so naturally he wouldn't pay attention to it, even if he returned after three years. My first sentence is: Why don’t you die outside?

Forgiving yourself so easily is really... not holding a grudge.

Far away.

Lin Ling thought for a long time and shook her head: "He never mentioned any location to me."

In such a huge city and a vast sea of ​​people, she had no purpose.

At this time, after Gu Panhui had sold the last three kilograms of beef and was walking towards Mufang with two hundred coins in his arms, someone suddenly gagged him at an unknown place and dragged him into the alley.

The opponent was too strong. No matter how hard he struggled, his beatings were useless. He even thought he wanted to kick the opponent's descendants but was kicked instead. The pain made his eyesight go black. When he was clear again, he had already reached the deepest part of the alley.

Behind them is a high wall, and in front of them are two men wearing sacks on their heads and only looking through two holes. They are tall and strong, with full muscles in their arms. They are two heads taller than Gu Panhui, and they are fierce and powerful. Pointing at him with a wooden stick.

"You have to abide by your duties when doing business. Today I will teach you what the rules are!"

The man just said this, then he held up the wooden stick to break the air, making a harsh sound.

Gu Panhui was shrouded in shadow at that moment, and was so suppressed by the momentum that he didn't dare to move. His whole body was so limp that he didn't even have the courage to block it. After being hit hard on the forehead, he was in a semi-conscious state, and then there was a clear dull pain in his arms and waist.

He couldn't faint, and when he was beaten, he wanted to die several times, but the other party only taught him a lesson and did not kill him. They did not leave until he was out of breath.

Before he passed out, he only felt a little cold. He shrank down, and bright red emerged from the ground again. It covered the dried bright red, repeated under the strong sunlight.

At that time, Lin Ling and Madam Yu had returned to the stall.

The man selling melon seeds said that he had sold out and left a quarter of an hour ago. The two of them thought they had missed it, so they turned back to the wooden workshop, but saw no one there.

Lin Ling realized something was wrong and walked back in a panic, only to see a vaguely familiar body.

"Gu Qingshan! Where the hell have you been?"

Gu Qingshan knew that he was late and was about to explain when she heard a sharp voice asking: "Where is the third child? Is he waiting for us where he is?"

"I didn't see him." Gu Qingshan was puzzled. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he could only ask Mrs. Yu for help.

"Panhui seems to be lost."
