My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens
Chapter 36 Educating Children
"What are you talking about? What business have we taken from you? You are in the real position, and we are all in some corners."
"That's right. Business depends on your own ability. We have never taken your place. Normally, we have customers here, and you just take them away. Have we ever said anything?"
In fact, usually there are some conflicts between vendors who have paid stall fees and those hawkers.
Those who paid felt they were being taken advantage of, and if they came across someone with similar business, they would snatch their business away. Those who didn't pay could only try to attract customers by lowering their prices.
This conflict between the two parties was not small, but the vendors had the upper hand before. Those who did not pay knew they were in the wrong and did not dare to say much when their business was taken away.
Today, it was because the little girl selling porridge took the lead and two vendors spoke up for the little girl that they dared to say a few more words and express their dissatisfaction.
Auntie Tian was so annoyed by this group of people that she couldn't say a word. She patted her chest and looked at the other vendors sideways: "We paid the money, why should we give up the space to them? You didn't say a word, and then the businessmen came and chose them because they were cheaper. Then why don't we just not pay for the space?"
A few vendors were persuaded by Aunt Tian and wanted to come over.
Aunt Luo said quickly, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Why are you arguing over such a trivial matter? You've been busy all morning, and you don't even want to go home and rest? You, Sister Tian, are the same. Why are you so angry with the younger generations? And you, little girl, are the same. You are not in the right to begin with, and why are you still making such a fuss? Apologize to Aunt Tian right away!"
These words were said to Si Muyan, knowing that she could control her younger sister, but the words were meant for the younger sister to hear.
The little sister pouts, wishing she could throw the empty wooden barrel directly on Aunt Tian's head, but Si Muyan coughed and gave her a wink.
"Yes..." The younger sister was very smart. She was angry just now, but after hearing her elder sister's look, she immediately reacted and her face instantly became pitiful. She walked to Auntie Tian and bowed, "Auntie, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry, and we shouldn't have occupied this place. It's really... We can't make ends meet. My mother is seriously ill, and my brother died a few days ago. We... wuwuwu..."
Si Muyan just looked at him without much expression on her face. To outsiders, she looked like a dull girl. There was also a big scar on her forehead that could not be covered by her hair and had not yet scabbed over.
Looking at the little boy next to him, he looked at a loss, with tears in his eyes. He was really pitiful.
Aunt Luo sighed, "Who doesn't have a few children? We adults work so hard and can't bear to let our children suffer. It's a pity for these kids. They have to work to support the family at such a young age. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
I looked around and saw both men and women working in the morning market, mostly men, and most of the women were middle-aged women.
She immediately dropped her eyes and choked up, saying, "My sister and I really have no choice. We didn't mean to cause trouble. Please be kind, uncles and aunts, and don't be offended by us."
At this point, another woman nearby said, "Oh, it's really pitiful. Forget it, it's getting late. Let's go home early."
Aunt Tian was not a heartless person after all. Even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't say anything after seeing how they looked. She packed up her things with a pout and pushed the cart away.
After the three siblings left and went to the place where they sold vegetables, the younger sister grumbled in dissatisfaction: "That Auntie Tian is really too much. She even wants to steal our money! Is it easy for us to earn a little money? We almost lost it all!"
Si Muyan looked at her with a half-smile, which made her feel guilty.
"Well, I'm just complaining." The younger sister touched her nose, "Why are you looking at me like that, big sister?"
Si Muyan said: "You have a flexible mind. You handled today's incident very well."
The little sister was very happy to receive the praise and puffed out her chest proudly.
At this moment, she forgot that she always thought that she was the smartest one in the family and looked down on her elder sister at all.
After Si Muyan finished praising her, she knew that she couldn't let her younger sister continue to be proud, otherwise it would be inappropriate for her to quarrel with others all day long.
Then he said, "But we should try not to conflict with them in the future."
My younger sister said, "Are we just going to endure this kind of injustice?"
"They are powerful, and we are weak. How can we be their opponent in a head-on confrontation? If a fight really breaks out today, what do you think the outcome will be?"
The younger sister said, "They won't get any benefit!"
Si Muyan felt a little helpless. She just thought her younger sister was smart, but now she realized that she was too self-righteous, and the younger brother next to her also looked confused.
It feels like I can't carry it with me, but I have to.
This is really much more difficult than starting a company. To start a company, you just need to know how to use people well and make sure they perform their duties. You can just replace unsuitable employees.
Now she has to manage these employees who have problems everywhere, and there is no way to replace them. If she keeps putting up with them when they are not working well, there will be more trouble in the future.
Just teach it.
Si Muyan analyzed the situation with them: "If a fight really breaks out, it will be a conflict between the vendors with legitimate stalls and us small vendors. If the conflict gets serious, they may be sued. In that case, they really won't gain anything. But what can we gain besides venting our anger? What's the important thing for us now?"
"To make money." said the younger brother.
Si Muyan nodded: "If the incident has been reported to the government, how can we still make money?"
The younger brother shook his head: "We can't make any money, and we might even have to pay for it, but we don't have the money to pay."
Si Muyan added, "If the incident doesn't get serious and gets reported to the city supervisor, what will be the outcome?"
Some of the younger brothers didn’t quite understand, but the younger sister was an adult after all, and her face turned pale all of a sudden.
"If...if this gets to the prison market, we might not be able to sell anything anymore. We'll have to rent a stall."
"Yes." Si Muyan said, "Not only that, not being able to sell things is a small matter, but those vendors who have been implicated by us can't sell their things either. Who do you think they will blame?"
When the younger sister heard this, she was even more frightened and kept saying, "It's okay, it's okay..."
Si Muyan hit him with a stick and then gave him a red date: "It's good that you are smart. You showed weakness immediately after Aunt Luo said that. You are a little girl. If you were more tactful, most people would not make things difficult for you. You did a good job in this regard."
The younger sister felt a little better after receiving the compliment, but after much thought, she still asked, "Sister, it was Aunt Tian who started this. Do we have to keep showing weakness and let others show off their power?"
