《Lucky Peasant Woman: Raising kids and making wealth》Chapter 51: Unsold river shrimp
Advertisement
In a blink of an eye, two days have passed.
Gu Chunzhu sold a bucket of river shrimp and returned to the village carrying an empty basket on her back.
On her way, She saw a dozen people at the entrance of the village.
It was Niu Buiping being surrounded with several townfolks, Qui shi was also there.
There were a lot of shrimp buckets on the side, all leftovers
"How could you?, you collected our shrimps alive and now you're sending it back to us dead"
"Thats right! Pay us, quickly return the money that you credited."
"Fishing these wasn't easy, we caught this one by one!"
The village people who sell shrimps pulled Nui Buiping clothes one after another.
"Did my cousin force you to send these Shrimps? It's in your own violition. You have to bear the loss yourself. "
As Qui shi said this, the villagers turned even noisier.
Gu Chunzhu already knew what was happening and she didn't want to get involved. She walked over to the side but was spotted by the sharped eyed Qui shi
"You, stop!" Qiu's voice was particularly loud.
With such a roar, all the villagers eyes fell on her
Gu Chunzhu was angry in her heart, she grabbed Qiu's hem and asked, "why cant I go? It's your cousin's business. If you can't sell these shrimp, are you going to blame me for it ? All of this has nothing to do with me."
She didn't expect Gu Chunzhu to say what was in her mind.
Qiu was left dumbstruck and stammered: "what are you saying? I just wanna say hello to you."
A ferocious expression appeared on his (Niu Buping) lean face. He was surrounded by the villagers and was already very angry. Gu Chunzhu, his biggest competitor, also came.

"What are you bullying my cousin for?" Niu Buping jumped down and pushed Gu Chunzhu's shoulder. His strength made Gu Chunzhu fall on the ground
Gu Chunzhu stood up with his aching buttocks, she picked up her basket that had fell. She hated Qiu. It was never good to meet her.
However, Qiu shi called out: "you see, my sister-in-law's business is good, you might as well sell it to her. You can see that her shrimp basket is sold completely!"
The villagers' eyes brightened one after another.
Gu Chunzhu's basket contains no water.
Meaning, the shrimps were sold out.
Everyone ran and pulled Gu Chunzu's sleeve
"Wangqin's wife, you see, when you were not at home before. I gave your An'an melon seeds to eat. I'd better take my river shrimp and sell it to you!" One of them took Gu Chunzhu's hand and said, her saliva flying on Chunzhu's face
Gu Chunzhu took a deep breath.
Why did she have to clean up this mess...
She tried to calm her heart and said: "Auntie, you shrimps are dead, how can I sell it?"
"Not too much, just a little of them. You can mix the bad ones with the good ones and Everything will be fine." The aunt looked at Gu Chunzhu.
Then, many villagers also began to get in touch with her. "Chunzhu, your uncle's family and my mother's family are cousins. They even visit during the Spring Festival. You should help me!"
"And me, we all sold it to you in the beginning."
Like a pile of mosquitoes in her ear like, everyone buzzes.
Gu Chunzhu saw Qiu shi hiding behind the crowd, talking something with Niu Biuping.
Her blood boiled with anger.
"Shut up!!" Gu Chunzhu roared.
Her face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The villagers who were chattering at first did not dare to say anything more,

Everyone quiet down.
Seeing Gu Chunzhu's annoyance, Qiu squeezed out on the villagers and began to pretend like rightful person. She said, "sister-in-law, should help. We are all from the same village. don't look down on them ."
"That's right!" Several shrimp sellers responded.
Gu Chunzhu clenched her fist wanting to beat Qiu's thin, almost invisible lips but Seeing the small eyed Niu Buping standing beside her, she held back.
Qiu shi continued: "besides, you brought up the culture of shrimp fishing. If they can't sell the shrimps, you should be responsible for it!"
"Yes, I've broken an embroidery needle in my house to catch river shrimp."
"We can get about 20 coppers in this bucket and I can buy two catties of meat."
"Wangqin's wife, we are all from the village. You should help if you can."
Gu Chunzhu was so angry that her shoulders kept shaking. Unexpectedly, everyone was instigated by Qiu.
This is moral kidnapping!
she is not a soft persimmon.
Gu Chunzhu's eyes turned cold.
She held out a hand and said, "I said a few days ago that I will only accept shrimps every three days. The shrimp you fished has been sold to this man and he should be responsible for the loss. Please imagine, if they are sold out , would you even thank me for teaching you how to fish shrimp?? but now you can't hold the money and you ask me to take it? "
The villagers pursed their lips one by one, and some unwillingly murmured "were just asking for a help. You are so unwilling!"
"Asking a favor?" Gu Chunzhu was not angry but laughed. She reached out and took a handful of dead shrimps in the bucket and said, "this stinks. You want me to sell dead shrimps? Would you be happy if you paid five coppers for a bowl of dead shrimp?
Qiu saw that the villagers were snarled by Gu Chunzhu but she was determined to make Gu Chunzhu bear the loss.
She said: "Wow, you don't have to say it that way, you just don't want to help a little bit, how hard it is for these people"
Hearing Qiu's provocation and looking at the impetuous villagers, Gu Chunzhu couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed Qiu's hair and kicked her over with one foot.
"If that's easy for you to say, then you should compensate everyone. Why should I clean up this mess for you?"
"Cousin, help me. This cheap hoof is going to kill me." Qiu's shi was pressed by Gu Chunzhu and shouted loudly.
Seeing Qiu's shi beaten up, Niu Buping came to help.
He vigorously grasped Gu Chunzhu's shoulder and to throw her away but Gu Chunzu grabbed Qiu's neck and kicks her stomach with his feet.
"Let go of my cousin!" Niu Buping clenched his teeth, his face fierce.
He hit Gu Chunzhu with a fist on her back. Gu Chunzhu endured the pain and even more forcefully gave Qiu shi another kick. Today, even if she was killed by Niu Buping, she would kill Qiu Shi first.
At this time, the villagers did not sit back and ignored, they came to pull them apart
"Chunzu." Just in the midst of the chaos, a deep voice came from the crowd.
Gu Chunzhu seemed to hear Su Wangqin's voice, but she didn't care so much, she wanted to give Qiu shi a profound lesson.
