--
Gu Chunzu blushed when she heard that.
She broke her heart wanting to have children in her previous life. In this life, when she opened her eyes, she already have two children who were gift to her by God.
She hurriedly waved her hand; "Uncle must be joking, there's already two children in our family. One son and one daughter is already good.."
"It's always good to have more ." Uncle Zheng continued teaching.
"Buy some shrimp! Have a look. It's five coppers per bowl." Gu Chunzhu didn't want to talk about this. She yelled to avoid Uncle Zheng's words. Passers-by who came to buy vegetables were attracted
Su Wangqin secretly looked at Gu Chunzhu's slightly reduced profile, his eyes dimmed. Does she not want to have children with him? Although there were already two children, Xiaocheng and An'an, they.....
Some customer have come to pick up prawns, Su Wangqin hurried back to help.
"My shrimp here only cost 3 coppers per catty!" The thin man on the opposite side yelled, As long as Gu Chunzhu's stall surround with customers, he would shout his voice enough for the whole street to hear.
The customer was called away a lot, but seeing his lack of selling method, many returned to Gu Chunzhu instead.
Some people have bought from him, Although they knew that Gu Chunzhu was selling 5 coppers of shrimps per bowl, it was drained from water, and was pressed hard. It was a full bowl!!
They regretted and told Gu Chunzu they'll buy to her next time
The stall on the opposite side only had half a barrel of shrimp which sold faster than Gu Chunzhu. He finished selling after half an hour.
While he was sorting his things, he would kick things deliberately. Gu Chunzhu and Su Wangqin looked at him, his eyes looked like it could quenched poison.
"He's like setting up a stall with hatred." Gu Chunzhu whispered helplessly, she watched as the skinny man leave and was finally was able to do business well.

"This Zhe Nui is not fair, he was raised by his widow mother and would do different businesses on the street every week. We know what kind of conduct he has. Sister-in-law Don't worry about him." Uncle Zheng took a sip of his dry tabaco and spoke of his uneven history.
Since he's a bastard, Gu Chunzhu couldn't care less.
After a few hours, two out of three bucket of shrimps were sold out.
Her hands were clean except for collecting money, all the shrimp scopping was done by Su Wangqin.
"Chunzhu, I want to sell this bucket of shrimp to the restaurant in town."
Su Wangqin saw that there were fewer people in the market, afraid that the shrimp could not be sold, he consulted with Gu Chunzhu. Of course, Gu Chunzhu had no opinion, if the prawns were taken home, it would be their lost.
With Gu Chunzhu's approval, Su Wangqin put the bucket of river prawns in his back basket and walked towards the restaurant in the town.
"Sister-in-law, there aren't many men like your husband. He's too considerate of his wife." Su Wangqin left, and Uncle Zheng, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, started to tease Gu Chunzhu.
"I married a man to wear clothes and eat, ofcourse I married a good one"
Gu Chunzhu said casually, but she was reborn here, who knows what kind of virtue Su Wangqin has.
But It looked really good now, even if he's leg was lame, he was a responsible man.
After about a cup of tea's time, Su Wangqin came back. He carried an empty basket and only a bucket was left.
He showed a line of white teeth. "I sold it at a shopkeeper, There was about ten bowls in the bucket. I collected 45coppers"
Gu Chunzhu nodded. The restaurant in town was not as lavish as the county seat. When they went to the county seat before, they got 20coppers for 3 bowls of prawns.

Fortunately, this restaurant required a bucket even if it was cheaper. She miss the children and could go home early.
While they were packing up, Gu Chunzhu saw Uncle Zheng staring at her dead shrimp from time to time.
She told him: "This dead prawns is bad for our stomach. I don't have chickens or ducks at home. You can have it."
"Yes, I'll feed it to the chickens and ducks." Uncle Zheng took it cheerfully
Gu Chunzhu earned a bunch of copper plates and went to the rice grain shop to buy 20 pounds of brown rice and 5 pounds of course flour and some condiments for the main pig's stew.
They earned a total of 148 coppers today. The 100 coppers was for the shrimps credit, and the 48 coppers was for them, which was not enough for Gu Chunzu.
"Brother Wang, I will definitely not buy anything tomorrow!" Making money was so difficult. Gu Chunzhu spent the money while biting her tongue. It was hard to make ends meet.
"Good." Su Wangqin looked at her with doting. It's a pity that Gu Chunzhu didn't see his eyes and already lowered her head to figure out how much she spent today.
Su Wangqin was afraid she would bump with someone so he stretched out his hand and held her hand.
When the two returned home, many people who sold shrimp to them were already waiting in the yard. Several stood and some sat on the wooden pier.
Xiaocheng and An An also stood by the door and waited patiently
They looked at the distance from time to time, looking forward for Su Wangqin and Gu Chunzhu return.
They were both happy to see them arrive.
Those who waited also looked at them
"I made an appointment to give the money at noon." Su Wangqin explained to the puzzled Gu Chunzhu, he then walked faster.
Gu Chunzhu wanted to stop him in case he hurt his legs and feet, but she swallowed her words in fear of hurting his self-esteem.
Gu Chunzhu took out the coppers stringed with hemp rope and gave it to Su Wanqin.
Su Wangqin checked them out in the yard. He had a good memory and remembered the people who sold shrimps to them.
After the money was settled, he returned their buckets as well, but Su Wanqin remained standing in the yard.
Gu Chunzhu was combing An An's hair and said "Are you waiting for her? she will be her soon after she hears that someone received the money. Hmp, she did something bad, Of course, she won't rush over."
"Chunzhu..." Su Wangqin's head dropped.
Gu Chunzhu didn't understand him.
There were about five bowls of shrimp in the bucket sent by Mrs. Su, they lost 25 coppers.
Su Wangqin went into the stove room to see the prawns, Gu Chunzhu continued to comb An'an hair and glanced at him.
She had already seen that the prawns in the bucket are all sad. This was originally a freshwater shrimp, it would not survive with salt!
"Mother, why did shrimp die? Can't you sell them if they die?" An An suddenly asked as she sat on the wooden pier.
Her big eyes blinked, she was sad to see the dead shrimps in the morning. Her brother comforted her that her father and mother knew, so they didn't take the bucket to sell.
"Because someone deliberately sent a bad one over, the bad shrimp can't be sold or it will damage the stomach."
Gu Chunzhu clenched her teeth.
Unless they are black hearted, what's the advantage of selling them bad river shrimp in doing business? She can't figure it out
"Eldest brother.., brother... Mother asked me to get the money!" The person who came was not Old Mrs. Su, but Qiu.
TL:
There will be for tomorrow, dont miss me 😂
