The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chen Qingsheng's smile disappeared, and he looked like a deflated ball, listless. This was how Chen's mistress usually looked like, depressed and unhappy. The one who was grinning just now seemed to be Chen's mistress's last glimmer of life.

Yuhua scolded, "Then why did you lie to me? I thought you were with your elder and second brothers, but you are setting up a stall here."

"Sister-in-law, I told you that you could let me go out. Besides, I didn't come out to do anything else. I just came out to set up a stall."

Yuhua asked Chen Qingsheng, "Does your elder brother know that you are setting up a stall here?"

Chen Qingsheng shook his head. "They thought I was recuperating at home."

"That's it. You have such good medicine, why don't you stay at home and take care of yourself? Why are you running out to set up a stall?" Yuhua kicked the wooden basin on the ground. "What are you selling?"

Chen Qingsheng scratched his head and said, "Big wooden basin, small wooden basin."

Yuhua pulled his sleeve and said, "Come home with me. Why are you setting up a stall when the sun is shining brightly? If you fall ill, people will think I didn't take good care of you."

But Chen Qingsheng didn't want to eat free meals at home. "Sister-in-law, I'm a tall and strong man, why should I be afraid of the sun?"

Yuhua said earnestly, "San'er, if you were strong, your sister-in-law would have swept you out to work if you didn't go out to work. But you're so skinny now that you don't have any flesh on your body. A gust of wind could blow you away. How can I let you squat on the street? If you get a heat stroke, your sister-in-law will take care of you. For your own health and for the love of your brothers and sisters-in-law, please come back with me."

Everyone has seen the appearance of the Chen family's mistress in the past. Although he was pretty, he was also a strong young man. Now, the Chen family's mistress is pale and skinny, even smaller than a monkey. The women here seem to be stronger than him. No wonder Yuhua doesn't let him set up a stall.

Chen Qingsheng was arguing with Yuhua, saying he didn't want to go home. Yuhua said, "Sister-in-law, I'm a man of seven feet tall. How can I stay locked up in the yard all day? I can set up a stall and earn a few copper coins to supplement the family income."

Yuhua had a loud voice, and several people came over to watch as the two of them were tugging and tugging. Shang Xi saw the right moment and immediately squatted on the ground, patting the basin on the ground and saying, "Iron basins leak, copper basins rust, only wooden basins last the longest! Look, look, these are all basins of the most exquisite workmanship, big and small, suitable for washing vegetables and washing feet."

A wife bent down, touched the wooden basin and said lovingly, "The wooden basin is still comfortable to touch."

Shang Xi agreed, "Of course not. Auntie has good taste. Copper and iron basins are not as good as wooden basins. Just buy this wooden basin home and it will be used by several generations."

The old woman touched the basin inside and out reluctantly and praised it, "This woodworking is really good!"

Shang Xi patted the wooden basin and said to his wife in an exaggerated manner: "Auntie, this basin was made by a master carpenter. A basin with this kind of workmanship can be passed down from generation to generation."

The old lady finally came to her senses and asked Shang Xi, "How much is it?"

The Chen family's mistress standing there quickly said, "Fifty cents."

The old woman said, "I'll buy one and take it home to wash the vegetables."

When Chen Jia Xiaosan saw the copper coins, his eyes lit up. He had been waiting here for a whole day and hadn't sold a single one. Shang Xi shouted a few times and he sold three basins.

After the buyers had left, Chen's mistress said gratefully, "Sister-in-law, you're the one who's always been there to help me sell things. I've been sitting here all morning without opening my shop, and you sold me three pots in one go."

As someone who had been there before, Shang Xi shared her experience in setting up a stall with him. "Qingsheng, you have to shout when you set up a stall. When you see people coming, you have to shout even more. But Qingsheng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why don't you sell something else? Why are you selling wooden basins? Are you going to use them to soak your feet or wash rice when you get home?"

Chen Qingsheng looked at his basin, which he used a lot, and said, "Sister-in-law, I can wash anything in this basin!"

Shang Xi waved his hand and said, "There are countless iron mines in Fengqi's Qiaochun County. Everyone uses iron basins. How can you bring out wooden basins and sell them?"

Chen Qingsheng touched his head with a bewildered look on his face. "I saw someone selling pots on the street that day and that's when I thought of selling pots. I did all this."

"I can see that this was made by you. You can also make something else. It will definitely sell faster than the wooden basin." Shang Xi felt that the wooden basin would not sell well.

Chen Qingsheng asked Shang Xi: "Sister-in-law, please give me some advice. What do you think I can make that will sell well?"

Yuhua, who was standing aside, had wanted to interrupt for a long time, and now she finally got the chance, "Don't do anything, just come home with me."

Chen Qingsheng hid behind Shang Xi and said, "I won't go back. I have to sell the remaining four pots."

Shang Xi waved her hands at Yuhua and said, "Yuhua, you're superfluous. People get sick easily when they stay at home all day. Look at how sick Qingsheng looks. Why don't you just let him bask in the sun on the street? The autumn sun is not as strong as you say."

Yuhua was anxious, "I feel uneasy when he's not under my watch!"

Shang Xi patted Yuhua's shoulder to comfort her. "You're just too nervous. So, listen to me. Let Qingsheng sell it for a few days first. If it doesn't work out, you can give up later. I'm not speaking for Qingsheng, but Qingsheng might be able to make more money than his two brothers."

Yuhua looked at the wooden basins on the ground and felt very worried. "Did he make his fortune by selling wooden basins?"

Shang Xi said, "It's easy to say how to make a fortune. Cheng Feng and I started out by setting up stalls. Just listen to me. Let Qingsheng set up the stall for a few days. If it doesn't work out, I'll find him a lighter job."

Yuhua was about to speak when Shang Xi pulled her away. Halfway down the street, Shang Xi said, "Yuhua, Qingsheng used to be a lively person, but now he's been gloomy and unhappy all day. He even smiled when he was setting up his stall. If he's in a bad mood, it'll take time for him to recover."

After Shang Xi persuaded her for a long time, Yuhua finally agreed to let Chen Qingsheng set up a stall on the street.

When they got home, Shang Xi asked people to look for Cheng Feng everywhere, but there was no sign of Cheng Feng. After dinner, he came back drunk.

Shang Xi asked him, "Which young man are you drinking with?"

Cheng Feng said: "Don't mention it, I'm drinking wedding wine today."

Shang Xi asked, "Whose prince or minister's child is this? Why haven't I heard of them before? When did they submit the engagement letter? How come I don't know anything about it?"

Cheng Feng fell onto the couch and said, "They are not the minister's children, but the minister's daughter-in-law who remarried!"

Shang Xi's sensitive nerves trembled suddenly. She took two steps to the wooden couch and kicked Cheng Feng's leg. "Did you go to Lu Si Niang's wedding banquet?"

This time she used more force, and Cheng Feng sat up in pain. He rubbed his thigh bone and said, "Li Laoer sent someone to invite me, how could I not go?"
