Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 1125 80 Little Stutterer Pork Shop 20

The women in front of them were also surprised that Chen Ping'an, who was usually so gentle, would be so fierce towards them.

They even said they wouldn't sell it to them.

Chen Ping'an's meat was cheaper than meat sold elsewhere, and when they bought it, they would complain about the extra weight, but Chen Ping'an wouldn't hold it against them.

So people from the nearby villages like to squat down and buy meat from him.

Now that Chen Ping'an says he won't sell to them, won't they have to go to the state-run store in town to buy meat in the future?

The meat there isn't cheap, and the salespeople aren't easy to talk to. If you want a discount, that's impossible. You can't even choose what you want; they just give you whatever piece they can. They're lucky if they don't give you a piece of meat.

The aunt in front of her wanted to buy meat from Chen Ping'an, but she felt that as an elder, it would be a huge loss of face for Chen Ping'an, a junior, to apologize in front of so many people.

So he stiffened his neck, gave a soft snort, and stood there refusing to move.

"Why won't you sell us meat? We've been standing here all day. If you don't sell us meat today, we're not leaving!"

"That's it!"

As they spoke, they were about to resort to their basic tactics: acting spoiled and throwing a tantrum.

They just stood there and wouldn't leave, watching how Chen Ping'an sold the meat.

However, Lingyao glanced at them and suddenly said something to the people queuing behind her in a slow and unhurried manner.

"If they don't leave today, none of you will get any meat. We're not in a hurry, though; meat sells everywhere, and it's not hot today. If necessary, we can go sell it in the next village tonight..."

Upon hearing Lingyao's shout, the men, women, and children who were originally standing in line at the back disagreed.

Especially those thugs who were planning to get free meat.

He immediately started criticizing those women.

"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Wu, and those two sisters-in-law, you should all leave first. Buying and selling people is a voluntary transaction. If they don't want to sell to you, why are you still standing here making a scene? Go home and cook for Er Gou and Zhu Zi. Stop making a scene here! We're waiting to buy meat, don't waste our time."

The people who were at the back of the line ignored the commotion in front of them and remained silent.

But that didn't involve their interests. Now that their interests are involved, they naturally won't do it. How many people have the time to waste with these aunties?

In the end, the women in front were persuaded and nagged by the people behind them to leave.

Before leaving, he spat at Ling Yao, Chen Ping'an, and the people in line.

Aunt Zhang, who was second in line and was about to buy meat, was the most resentful because she was unable to buy meat because she talked to Aunt Zhao, who was standing in the first row.

They not only resented Chen Ping'an, but also Aunt Zhao.

"Look at you, why do you have to talk about people like that? Do you think they'll be happy with what you've said? I even told my husband before I left home today that there would be meat..."

Aunt Zhao was speechless, but she didn't hold back: "Hey, Chunhua, that's not right of you. I said it's none of my business, but who told you to agree with me? You said it yourself, what does it have to do with me? I also told my son today that I'm going to cook meat for him when we get home!"

Another aunt who was with them saw that the two were about to start arguing, so she quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Stop arguing, everyone. I just saw that girl and she looked really familiar. I felt like I'd seen her somewhere before, but I just couldn't remember. But then I thought about it and I think she looks like Jiang Lingyao, the girl from the Jiang family in our village?"

"Who, that scoundrel? Oh my God..." Aunt Zhao wailed, slapping her thigh. She had been furious just moments before, but now she deflated like a punctured balloon, crying out to the heavens...

Because Aunt Zhao was one of the aunts that Jiang Lingyao had chased and scolded back then.

Although she felt that Ling Yao looked familiar, she was focused on Chen Ping'an and the pork at the time and didn't pay attention to the girl.

If she had recognized that pretty girl as Jiang Lingyao earlier, she would have preferred not to buy pork rather than argue with her.

Not being able to buy pork today only means the kids are upset about not being able to eat pork for a day, but getting involved with that shrew Jiang Lingyao means they'll be chased and scolded for who knows how long this time.

For the next few days, Aunt Zhao was very careful when she went out, afraid of being bumped into by that girl from the Jiang family. She would even open the door to make sure no one was outside before daring to go out. She was really afraid of being scolded!

As for Lingyao, after driving away those aunties, she helped Chen Ping'an sell pork.

Perhaps it was because of the precedent set by those aunts, and also because some people had already recognized Jiang Lingyao.

So the people queuing up to buy meat became as obedient as quails.

Yeah, I wouldn't dare mess with them.

Before, everyone would call him "Little Stutterer," but today they're all calling him "Ping An," "Master Chen," and "Brother Ping An."

When it was finally the turn of those thugs, they came up laughing and joking, picking at the meat while pushing and shoving each other, glancing at Ling Yao.

Finally, one was pushed up.

He chuckled at Lingyao, and when he saw her looking at him, he smiled even more brightly: "Um... young lady, comrade, I'd like to get to know you, can we be friends? I'm Brother Dawei from Peach Blossom Village. If you ever need anything, just come to Peach Blossom Village to find me."

Lingyao suppressed the smile that was about to break down on her face. Well, Brother Dawei, I wonder if he knows that his name will be famous throughout the world decades later, but it won't be for a good reason.

However, no matter how much she wanted to laugh, Lingyao managed to suppress it with her steely will.

He wasn't being pretentious; he just gave Brother Dawei a cold look.

"No need, why don't you pay off your debts first?"

Hearing Lingyao's answer, the thugs lost face. Men, even if they are doing poorly outside, still don't want to show their poverty in front of the woman they like.

A man who truly likes you will never tell you he's poor, because he's afraid you'll look down on him. Only a man who wants to get something from you will keep playing the victim and saying he's poor, hoping you'll feel sorry for him and give him some benefits.

They didn't expect that this beautiful woman knew about their debt; it must have been the stutterer who told her.

It's true that Little Stutterer was lucky to have met this girl.

I think we met when I was selling pork and going to town to pick up pigs. I've never seen anyone this beautiful in any of the villages I've been to.

Oh no, there used to be a sent-down youth in Jianghe Village, I think she came from the provincial capital. I heard she was very beautiful, but it seems she has already returned home.

The group coughed twice, not wanting to lose face in front of the beautiful woman, but they also didn't have the money to pay their previous debts. So they went to the side and pooled together the money they had saved for the pork that day.

She clearly owed Chen Ping'an money, but she was speaking to Ling Yao.

"We'll pay the remaining debt next time. We're just having cash flow problems; it's not that we're intentionally not paying..."

Dawei scratched his head as he spoke, but it was obvious that he and his underlings next to him didn't believe it themselves and were quite guilty.

After saying that, he put the money down, picked up the meat, and ran away.

Lingyao stared at their retreating figures for a while.

Several of them looked quite large. She needed a few people to look after Jiang Jianping and Old Lady Chen at home while she was in the city, and they could also help her and Chen Ping'an go up the mountain to earn work points.

Hmm... these guys are pretty good.

Yes, Lingyao is planning to take Chen Ping'an with her when she goes to the city this time.

He earns money slowly and it's tiring to sell pork. She can take Chen Ping'an with her to buy other things, things that aren't available in town, to sell back, just like the middlemen of a few years ago.

They would transport goods that were not scarce in other places to another region to sell, profiting from the price difference.

However, being a middleman in previous years was very dangerous. It was called speculation and profiteering, and you could easily be arrested and imprisoned if you weren't careful.

However, in the past two years, the market has been opened up in this area, and the first batch of middlemen have already made a fortune. This situation is not yet obvious in Shanhe Village.

However, there are already individual vendors selling snacks, vegetables, and fruits in the town, and this situation is even more obvious in the city and province.

It can be said that in this open market, as long as you dare to take that step, you can easily find some "gold".

The saying "opportunities are everywhere" is not just empty talk.

Chen Ping'an held the meat money that the thugs rarely gave him, but for some reason, he wasn't very happy.

He glanced at Lingyao beside him; she was still looking at Dawei and his group, who had already walked away.

Chen Ping'an's heart sank, and he didn't even want the money he was holding anymore.

Everyone had already gone far away, why was she still watching?

Who are you looking at? Is it Brother Dawei, or the others next to him?

They are all not doing well.

They don't have proper jobs and just hang around everywhere.

They even have to buy meat on credit!

very bad!

Chen Ping'an didn't know what he was angry about, or who he was angry at.

Is he angry at those thugs, Dawei, or at himself?

After all, no matter how bad they are, other people speak better than him, they don't stutter, and they won't be laughed at!

Chen Ping'an realized he was comparing something, and his heart skipped a beat.

In his panic, he almost dropped the knife, but luckily Lingyao reacted quickly and caught it in his hand, though the touch was brief.

After all, this is a time when men and women should be strictly separated. Even if she just touched the back of his hand, if someone with ulterior motives spread rumors about it, the consequences could be very serious.

Fortunately, there were hardly any people around at this time, and Lingyao's actions were very subtle and not obvious.

Only Chen Ping'an himself felt the force and temperature of that fleeting touch.

It felt as if his heart had been pressed down by that hand, causing it to sink deeply.
