Chapter 29 Fang's Trouble
Liu Yan's face turned bright red, clearly knowing that what her mother had done was wrong. She thanked Liu Nanjia repeatedly and then ran away.
Looking at her, Liu Nanjia shook her head and sighed. This older sister was reasonable and not as selfish as her mother, but she was just too weak-willed.
Then he thought of the original owner of this body and couldn't help but laugh at himself. Wasn't the original owner the same? Oh well.
This little incident didn't cause any trouble, and Liu Nanjia quickly put it out of her mind. She didn't plan to sell those eggs anyway, as it would damage her reputation. Arguing with the customer over it would only waste more time.
They can keep the eggs for themselves and then exchange them for eggs laid by their own hens to sell.
But Liu Nanjia clearly underestimated the Fang family's shamelessness.
Because Liu Yan came again on the morning of the third day when it was time to harvest the vegetables.
She looked even more embarrassed this time because the food she brought was clearly not fresh.
Seeing that Liu Nanjia's face darkened and she showed no intention of accepting the gift, Liu Yan, without waiting for her to refuse, quickly said, blushing, "I understand, I'll go now."
This time, Liu Nanjia didn't stop her, because Liu Yanming knew the dish was bad, but still brought it to her.
Even if she was acting under Fang's orders, she still harbored a glimmer of hope that she could accept the dish.
Although she left on her own, Liu Nanjia felt that this matter was not over yet.
Sure enough, not long after they set off for town, they heard a cursing voice.
The sound grew closer and closer, and sure enough, it was Fang Shi dragging Liu Yan along.
"You useless brat, I only asked you to sell some vegetables, and you can't even handle such a small task."
First, she cursed Liu Yan, then she sarcastically said to Liu Nanjia, "Liu Nanjia, you've really grown up now. Now that you've separated from your family, you don't even recognize your own elders? Why won't you accept my family's vegetables!"
"She accepts customers from outsiders but not from her own family. How can you do business with such a heartless person? Who knows what she's up to!"
Liu Nanjia sneered. Has this Fang family member improved? Now she's even trying to sow discord.
“Auntie, what are you saying? I’m just stating the facts, not personal. If your vegetables aren’t good enough, then I’ll naturally take fresh vegetables from other people.”
“How can my vegetables not be fresh! You’re just making excuses,” Fang said indignantly.
"Then why don't you lift the basket and let everyone see and judge? Or are all the vegetables your aunt grows like this? Well, your skills aren't very good."
Liu Nanjia's words were an insinuation that Fang's family didn't even know how to grow vegetables.
As a farmer, if she can't even grow vegetables well, doesn't that mean she's useless? Fang was furious and didn't want others to see her obviously stale vegetables, but she was also unwilling to go back like this.
She came straight for Liu Nanjia. She used to hit people, and now she wanted to force Liu Nanjia to accept the vegetables. If she could take the opportunity to get her money, that would be even better.
Of course, Liu Nanjia wouldn't sit idly by and wait for her fate. Taking advantage of the moment when Fang was stopped by Liu Yanxi, she quickly lifted the cloth covering the basket.
Then he started shouting, "Auntie, what are you doing? My siblings and I have finally found a way to earn a living so we won't starve to death. Are you trying to ruin our business or rob us by bringing us these stale vegetables?"
She then addressed the other women who had come to sell vegetables but were only watching and not making any moves, saying, "Aunties, we're just running a small business. We can only buy a limited number of vegetables at a time. If we buy these stale ones, you won't be able to buy any more vegetables."
“If the people in town find that the vegetables we sell are not good and stop buying them, our business will fail, and you won’t be able to get any money for your vegetables!”
Most of these people choose to stand by and do nothing when it doesn't involve them.
But now that Liu Nanjia has pointed out the pros and cons, and brought up the conflict between her and Fang Shi to the point that it would harm their own interests, none of them are willing to accept it.
Some of the more straightforward ones spoke up directly: "Anhe's mother, what are you doing? Your own vegetables are no good, yet you're forcing people to buy them?"
"Exactly, why would they turn down our fresh vegetables and go for your stale ones?"
Some people even peered into Fang's basket, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, the vegetables are in this state and you're still selling them? At my house, vegetables like this would be fed to the pigs. Is it really true that all the vegetables you grow are like this?"
Fang could act tough when Liu Nanjia was alone, but faced with so many people criticizing her, she didn't dare to throw a tantrum anymore and slunk away.
Liu Nanjia also thanked the women: "Thank you all, aunties. If the products we sell are good, people will be willing to buy them, and our business will last, right? As you all saw just now, if the vegetables my aunt brought weren't good, I wouldn't accept them."
These vegetables used to be leftovers, but now they can be exchanged for money. Of course, everyone didn't want to miss out on such a good thing, and they all promised to bring the freshest vegetables in the future.
Although Fang had given her a hard time early in the morning, she took the opportunity to remind the other villagers not to try to pass off inferior goods as superior ones. Liu Nanjia couldn't tell whether today was a good thing or a bad thing.
She certainly wouldn't be upset about the Fang family because of that slight kinship, but her feelings towards Liu Yan were somewhat complicated.
In such a family, her kind nature became a reason for being oppressed; it's a bit pitiful for her.
But if she doesn't stand up for herself and continues to be submissive, even if I want to help her, I won't know where to start.
Never mind, we'll see how things go later.
After this incident, the group was in a bad mood on the oxcart and didn't say much.
However, this gloomy mood did not last long, because while she was selling vegetables, someone took a liking to her egg tray.
"Young lady, your egg rack is quite interesting. Are you selling it?" Several people asked.
Liu Nanjia's eyes darted around as she said, "I wasn't originally selling these. I had them specially made, and there are only a few of them. They're meant to keep the eggs in place on the oxcart so they don't break. But if you really want them, I can give them to you for 20 coins."
"This is just a shelf, yet it costs as much as eggs. It's too expensive." Someone complained and turned to leave.
But some people wanted to bargain: "It's quite expensive, but if the young lady can give me a discount, I'll buy one."
Liu Nanjia wouldn't budge: "No, auntie, I designed this myself and had someone make it. Because it's small and complicated to make, no one was willing to make it originally. I'm charging you 20 coins because that's all the money I had when I bought it; I'm not making any profit off you. Besides, this shelf isn't very useful on its own, but stacking several layers makes it very stable. I went to town this morning, and not a single egg broke. The key is that it's reusable. You can put it on the stove; it's easy to reach and saves space."
Some people were persuaded by her words; one woman bought two, and another person bought one first.
Liu Nanjia was happy, and her unpleasantness from the morning vanished.
She bought them for 15 coins and resold them for a profit of 5 coins. Moreover, other people are also interested in buying them. So, besides selling eggs, could she also sell these?
