Chapter 129: Eating Watermelons at the Market
Zhao Shisheng felt it was a bit of a pity. If there were two more rounds, Huizi would probably lose. Then he could punish Huizi in his own way, which would definitely be fun. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance this time.
"Okay, don't be discouraged, we can still have fun when we go back. Let's go to the market first." Wang Yueshan said, looking at Zhao Shisheng's regretful expression.
Zhao Shiying thought it was better not to play as her mouth was dry and there was no water to drink.
Soon the group got off the car. There were not many people in front of Yuelai Restaurant, only two waiters were cleaning the store.
When someone saw Zhao Guocheng's ox cart coming, he immediately went upstairs to report to the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Peng arrived soon.
After greeting each other and introducing themselves, Zhao Guocheng told them what goods they had for the day. Shopkeeper Peng took a quick look and asked the waiter to move them in.
"It's rare for Wang Jieyuan to come here, why don't you go up and have a seat? It would also help me, a hospitable person. I have been working with Brother Zhao for so long, and only then did I find out that Wang Jieyuan is actually Brother Zhao's brother-in-law. It's really like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognize each other." Shopkeeper Peng is good at talking, and his words make people feel cordial.
Of course, Zhao Guocheng recalled the unpleasantness when he first met Manager Peng. That was really different from now.
The more powerful you were before, the easier you are to talk to now.
"Manager Peng, you are too polite. We have something else to do, so we won't bother you." Wang Yueshan refused with a smile.
"Yes, we still have things to do. We will make it up to you another day." Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.
"Haha~~Okay, I'll be waiting for you then." Shopkeeper Peng smiled and nodded.
After the goods were unloaded, Zhao Guocheng took everyone away.
The reason they came to town today was not only to deliver goods to Yuelai Restaurant, but also to the Chen Mansion.
Wait until all the goods are delivered and then go to the market.
They still have an hour to stroll around today.
Wang Yueshan took the children to the bookstore to buy books.
This is what makes Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui happiest.
They had read all the books before, and fortunately, when they were at their grandparents' house, they were able to borrow books from their uncle's room, but they also wanted to buy a few books of their own.
"You can choose the books, pens, paper and inkstones you like. I will pay for them later. They are gifts from your uncle." Wang Yueshan said with a smile, and then let several children in, including Zhao Shiying.
"Just indulge them. See if you feel bad when you have to pay them later." Wang Ronghua said with a smile.
"Hahaha... Sister, don't look down on me. I still have money to use." Wang Yueshan laughed.
Zhao Guocheng was watching the children from the side, paying special attention to Zhao Shiying, to make sure the child wouldn't run away and disappear.
At this time, Wang Yueshan also went to read.
After everyone had made their choice, Wang Ronghua was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The kids are really rude.
Zhao Shisheng selected three books and a set of writing tools.
Zhao Shihui only selected two books, both about war, and a set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
Zhao Shimin was much simpler. The pens and ink at home were still usable, so she just took two books.
Zhao Shiying was a little upset. She took six books and almost threw them to the ground, unable to lift them.
"Little sister, why do you take so much?" Zhao Shimin said.
"I like it!" said Zhao Shiying.
Zhao Shimin saw the book covers: "Farming Records", "One Hundred and Fifty-Two Techniques for Making Money in Business", "Crossing Mountains and Ridges: I'm Wandering"...
What kind of books are these? Are there any books like this now?
Zhao Shimin was confused. Could it be that my younger sister took it carelessly? After all, when it comes to doing business, who has a brain as smart as my younger sister?
Everyone: “........” She likes to spend money!
"Take whatever you need. Uncle has money." Wang Yueshan said with a smile.
"See, my uncle doesn't mind that I take more, so you are not allowed to complain either." Zhao Shiying said. When she saw Zhao Guocheng coming over, she immediately transferred the books in her hand.
It was too tiring for her to hold it, so this kind of heavy work was more suitable for her father to do.
"You, you, you must study it seriously after buying it." Zhao Guocheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Yeah, that's for sure."
Wang Yueshan also selected two books.
Then it was time to pay, but when it came time to pay, Wang Ronghua rushed to pay while Wang Yueshan refused, so in the end Wang Yueshan paid.
Moreover, the shopkeeper offered some discounts and gave a stack of papers.
After everyone came out, we arrived at the market.
But unexpectedly, a burst of shouting and cursing was heard in the market.
"You slut, you've been home for more than two years, but you haven't laid an egg. Today I asked you to take medicine but you refused. Do you want to die?" A woman was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and cursed.
"What's going on?" Zhao Shihui looked ahead curiously.
[What else can it be? This damned old woman is always torturing her daughter-in-law. It’s obviously her son’s fault, but she still blames the young woman for not being able to have children. Humph~~ bad person!] Zhao Shiying’s inner voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone was stunned and stopped in their tracks.
Oh my god, such a big melon!
They still wanted to go shopping, but they didn't want to eat the melons first.
Zhao Shihui walked forward unconsciously, and Wang Ronghua and others naturally followed, eating the melon first.
Last time, I didn’t finish eating the melons in the village, so I didn’t enjoy it very much afterwards.
There is still enough time today, so they can go and take a look.
When they approached, there were already quite a few people gathered around watching the fun.
"Mom, I've been taking this medicine for several months and it's useless. I heard that all medicines are poisonous. It's useless now. Drinking it again will be like drinking poison. It costs money too. I won't drink it anymore." The young woman cried and begged while holding on to the old woman's legs.
"It's up to you if you don't drink. How can you give me a big fat grandson if you don't drink? You are a hen that doesn't lay eggs. You are so unlucky that you married a jinx like you." The old woman became angrier and angrier, and she almost wanted to beat her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, the medicines you found are not the ones prescribed by the doctor. If you want a grandson, then take me and my husband to see a doctor. Don't let me take random things based on hearsay." The little woman wanted to cry as she spoke.
Thinking of what she was asked to drink last time, the little woman now felt like vomiting.
"What a mess! These are all earth remedies. Do you understand what earth remedies are?" The old woman poked the young woman's forehead angrily and exploded with anger.
"Then...then the last time you made me drink urine was also a folk remedy?" The little woman was surprised.
"Of course." The old lady nodded as a matter of course.
Everyone fell down together: "......."
Drinking urine? Is this even possible?
