Chapter 13 Selling Books
Zhao Miaomiao pulled Chen Shouxing aside and said, "Do you know this man? He is my husband-in-law, and he copied these books in his spare time."

Chen Shouxing immediately put on a professional expression and calmly let a group of aunts and aunts watch.

"This person looks familiar!"

"I think so too!"

The lady standing in front wearing a floral skirt patted her thigh, "Alas! Isn't he the letter writer who often writes letters at Xijiekou? I even asked him to write wedding notes!"

"It's him! I wrote to him too."

"So I remembered it too, it's him!"

What Zhao Miaomiao waited for was their words, and replied, "That's right, it's my husband. He often comes to the county to write letters to others during his slack, so feel free to buy!"

"It must be nice to be able to write letters to people! I have to go back and call my grandson over to see if there are any books he wants!" said an old lady, turned around and ran back without buying any food.

Some people also had the same thoughts as the old lady, and when they saw this, they hurried back to find someone.

The aunt in the flower skirt said, "Mr. Chen, do you still recognize me? I am Aunt Yang who asked you to write your son's wedding post at the end of June! My eldest grandson will be sent to school next spring. Please help me find out what books he needs. ?”

Of course Chen Shouxing didn't remember, and said with a smile, "Oh! It's you, Aunt Yang! Good study! Your eldest grandson will definitely be a good scholar in the future and bring glory to the family!"

Aunt Yang smiled and opened her eyes and said, "Thank you for your good words! If my eldest grandson can pass the exam to be a scholar, Madam will definitely wrap you a big red envelope when the time comes, and invite you to have a glass of wedding wine!"

Chen Shouxing nodded and smiled, "Then I'll wait to drink your grandson's wedding wine!"

Aunt Yang said cheerfully, "Okay, I will definitely invite you when the time comes!"

Chen Shouxing nodded and asked, "Ms. Yang, has your grandson learned calligraphy yet? I'll find out what books you want."

Seeing Mrs. Yang shaking her head, she took a copy of each book and said, "If you just know a few characters, you can buy the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames and Thousand Character Classic, but your grandson is going to take the imperial examination, so you have to learn all these enlightenment books! There are a total of 160 texts in this book, and it is enough to give one tael."

Aunt Yang is used to asking, "If you don't need it, can you return it?"

Chen Shouxing, "If you don't need it, you can return it to me tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Aunt Yang felt relieved and took out her purse to pay the money directly.

Seeing this, others asked, "Can you really retreat?"

Zhao Miaomiao nodded and said, "If you are not satisfied with the purchase, you can return it to my husband within two days, but the book must be intact!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately felt relieved, and asked about the books they wanted to buy.

"How much does A Thousand Family Poems cost? Give me a copy."

"How much money does it cost for elementary school Qionglin and rhythm enlightenment?"

"How much is Guangzeng Xianwen's disciple Gui Zhuzi's family training?"

……

An hour later, the books on the stall were sold out, and I went to the bank to exchange the copper coins for silver. This time the books sold for nine taels of silver, more than 500 copper coins.

Chen Shouxing collected the money, bought three chickens for 120 Wen from a woman, and bought a duck for [-] Wen.

Zhao Miaomiao bought two small windmills and small candy figures for her son, and then went to a meat stall and a tofu stall.

Today I have mutton, fifteen cents a catty, which is five cents less than pork. I ordered two catties of mutton, three catties of pork and two catties of offal, and gave me some bones.

When the two returned to the city gate, the village's ox cart was gone, and Chen Shouxing and Zhao Miaomiao paid to ride in the neighboring village's ox cart.

As the ox cart passed by the town, Zhao Miaomiao asked someone to stop the cart and went to the cloth clothing workshop.

When they returned to Chenjiagou, the people they met along the way widened their eyes and muttered when they saw the chickens and ducks in Chen Shouxing's hands.

"Where did the two of them go today? They couldn't have gotten it from his elder sister!"

"Is there a happy event in his family? Why didn't you listen to the lecture?"

"But it's not a festive season, why buy so many chickens and ducks! How much money will it cost!"

A plump little woman with a slender waist spoke to Zhao Miaomiao and glanced at Chen Shouxing again and again, "Shouxing family, is there something happy in your family? I'll take my two boys to your house later to have fun. Joy.”

Zhao Miaomiao's face puffed up, she wanted to scold someone shamelessly but she didn't know who this person was.

Chen Shouxing covered his eyes and said as if he wanted to vomit, "Sister-in-law Liu, your eyes are so ugly to me. You and your son must not come over. There is nothing happy at home. I will feel sick and unable to eat when I see you."

Zhao Miaomiao felt relieved.

Sister-in-law Liu was so angry that she chopped off her feet.

Chen Shouxing continued, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, don't cry, don't worry...I'm not just saying you are ugly, everyone is ugly except my wife..."

Sister-in-law Liu was about to scold someone, when she spotted someone not far away from the corner of her eye, she wiped her eyes and said, "You bully..."

As soon as the man saw this scene, he raised his fist and rushed over, "Old Wu Chen! How dare you bully..."

Seeing someone going crazy and trying to beat her husband, Zhao Miaomiao screamed like a groundhog, "Ahhhhhhh..."

Chen Shouxing dropped the chicken and duck as if he had prepared early, and covered his ears.

Sister-in-law Liu and that person, who didn't react, were deafening, and felt like their souls were about to come out!
There was a sound of footsteps, and people from every household ran over to the side.

Mrs. Chen rushed out carrying the bench first, and shouted with a murderous look on her face, "Which bastard dares to bully my little daughter-in-law!"

Zhao Miaomiao rushed over and hugged her, and raised her finger to point at the man aggrieved, "Mother, it's him, he wants to beat someone!"

Mrs. Chen shot at the man with sharp eyes and cursed angrily, "Wu Cheng's family, who killed a thousand knives, dare to bully my daughter-in-law..."

A bench smashed at him.

Wu Chengjia quickly hopped away from the bench and waved his hands again and again, "Misunderstanding, auntie!"

"Misunderstood fart! I want to scratch your face, dare to hit my daughter-in-law..." Mrs. Chen rushed over and pressed the man to the ground, pulling her hair and black nails and scratching her face.

Li Fatya and Wang Hongmei stood alone and stared at each other with sticks in their hands, thinking that if her mother-in-law suffered a disadvantage, she would immediately help her.

Wu Chengjia held down Mrs. Chen's hand angrily, and shouted, "If Aunt Chen makes trouble again, I won't be here..."

Mrs. Chen bit his hand tightly, and Wu Youjia grabbed her hair in pain, trying to stand up and press him to the ground. Mrs. Chen kicked and beat him for some reason, and Wu Youjia's head suddenly slapped Buried on Mrs. Chen's shoulders.

see this scene,
The eyes of the watching crowd were about to drop.

"Wu Youjia is too hungry!"

"My mother! Mrs. Chen is almost ready to be his grandmother, and he can do it!"

"I have to stay away from him when I see him in the future, who knows if he will attack me too"

Zhao Miaomiao was so frightened that her soul flew away, she ran up quickly.

Chen Shouxing's eyes were about to burst, and he rolled up his sleeves angrily, "Wu! Yes! Home! How dare you eat my mother's tofu!"

Li Pangya and Wang Hongmei were stunned for a moment, and when they recovered, they were about to pull Wu Youjia away.

Before he could do anything, he heard Wu Youjia let out a horrifying and pitiful scream, "Ah!!!"

Wu Youjia covered the middle of his legs and was rolling with a pale face.

Mrs. Chen kicked the man away, got up and kicked him a few more times, cursing, "Damn! How dare you take advantage of me, I will destroy you!"

The men watching changed their expressions and covered their legs.
