He hurried to see other bucket of prawns and was relieved to see the them alive, but the mark on this bucket made his expression change alot.

The familes who sent prawns will naturally have to get their buckets back, so he made a mark on each, took a few wires in the back room and tied it to the buckets

"The other shrimps are all alive. Who sent this bucket?" Gu Chunzhu placed a hand on her hip, the other on her forehead. .

The business hadn't started yet but with this dead shrimps, they obviously lost money.

Su Wangqin's eyebrows moved,

so Gu Chunzhu thought he knows who..

She thought of someone,

"Don't tell me...."

"This bucket was sent by my mother."

Su Wangqin's tone was heavy.

Gu Chunzhu's face sank.

He knows she was angry. He looked at the half a bucket of dead shrimps and clenched his teeth.

He must go to the Su's house and talk to his family!

"What's the use of going? Will they admit it? They will only say that we killed the shrimps." Gu Chunzhu stopped him and pulled his clothes.

Seeing he didn't insist, her tone calmed down, "What's important is to sell these shrimps first, We have collected so much!"

"Chunzhu, that's reasonable" Su Wangqin's chest couldn't stop heaving, he muttered: "I thought since we collected others, we could help them too."

"But do they treat us as family?" Gu Chunzhu said with a sneer. One by one they already chilled her. They kept dragging their legs, from time to time they have to prevent them from biting.

Su Wangqin's face turned ugly, he knew she was right.

"Let's eat first and sort out the live prawns and sell it to town later."

If we continue to talk about this, we will get delayed.

Whether the Su family was good or not, Su Wanqin will realize soon. , Now, It was the blood relationship that was difficult to let go.

After the two drank rice porridge, Gu Chunzhu scooped out the dead shrimps brought by Old Mrs Su, but they didn't expect the tentacles to suddenly move, leaving them both dumbfounded.

She licked it in her palm

The water tasted salty!

Old Mrs. Su must have put salt in the water bucket of shrimps. These are fresh water prawns. They cant live with salt!

Gu Chunzhu's nails dug on her palm.

Did these people want to ruin their shrimp business? She looked at Su Wangqin who remained indifferent. She temporarily endured and said nothing.

"Lets not sell this bucket of shrimps. I saw that a few of them are still alive but in case we bring this to town and they die, its so far away."

Gu Chunzhu said casually.

Su Wangqin nodded his head and did not object. He put together a few half a buckets and used a pole to pick up one barrel at a time in both ends and walked away.

Gu Chunzhu also carried a barrel on her back basket.

The couple walked to town carrying exactly 3 buckets.

Su Wangqin who was carrying such heavy thing with his inconvenient legs remained silent.

Gu Chunzhu's anger towards Su's family spread towards him, but seeing him working so hard, her anger dissipated.

It was a frosty early morning and the sun rose slowly. When they arrived to town, it was already bright and the couple were both covered with sweat.

"Sister-in-law, you're here!" Uncle Zheng, who sells vegetables secured their spot again, he quickly reported; "Look at the that, that person came early to sell river shrimps, he probably saw that your bussiness was good and fished half a bucket of shrimps in the river."

Gu Chunzhu also saw a barrel in front of the thin man on the opposite side.

The bucket should contain river shrimps, the scale on his hand was different from hers.

He saw Gu Chunzhu look and his pair of smart little eyes also swept over. He observed the situation on her side.

"Then let's see who's business is better" Gu Chunzhu's eyes flashed with confidence, she asked Su Wangqin to put the shrimp buckets out.

She was not afraid of competition. When she started her business in her previous life, many companies popped out, but her business stood out and remain strong

This time there was a backlog of shrimp in her bucket and some dead ones, Gu Chunzu picked out the dead shrimps and set it aside. After a while, more people arrived.

There are old customers that happily greeted Gu chunzhu and look at the shrimps inside her barrel.

The vendor opposite them yelled out

"River shrimps 3 coppers per pound! Don't miss it when you pass by"”

Since it was more cheaper than her bowl of five coppers, a customer said while laughing

"I'll go over there first.”

Putting the bowl down on her hand, Gu Chunzu sighed.

Su wangqin patted her hand to show comfort,he looked at the people coming and going and yelled up, "River shrimp buy some river shrimp!"” Listening to his voice, Gu chunzhu felt settled.

After a while, the old customer came back with an ugly face, scolding the opposite hawker : "How dare he, telling it was cheap but the scale he use.. half a bowl of it were mostly water! A pound of his river shrimps didn't have as many as your half a bowl. I say, he is dishonest in doing business, he even scolded me that I couldn't afford it!"

"That's really wrong, how many do you want today?" Gu Chunzhu asked with a smile. She was honest in doing business and the customers were not stupid.

This big sister was ridiculed and was feeling angry in her heart.

She stretched out three fingers and said, "Bring me three bowls. Why can't I afford shrimps, My man manages the accounts in a bank. Its not impossible for me to afford this thing, we earn 2 or 3 silvers every month!"

Gu Chunzhu felt happy while listening to her. Seemed like the people in town were much richer than those in the village.

She was preparing to scoop out the shrimps when Su Wangqin snatched her bowl and scopped 3 bowls for the elder sister. The big bowl fell into her basket.

The elder sister left with satisfaction and went to the other side of the stall.

"Did you see that?!, who said I couldn't afford it,!" Elder sister Zuo Shi happily left, while the thin man on the opposite side had a green face full of anger, he looked at Gu Chunzhu's stall with hatred.

Gu Chunzhu was too lazy to care about him, she turned her head and asked Su Wangqin, wondering what he had done just now, "Why did you take my bowl?"

"It's not good for your body to touch cold water too much." Su Wangqin said with his long lashes dropped, he shook his wet hands twice.

I did not expect you to be so thoughtful, Gu chunzhu was about to say this but was robbed by Uncle Zheng. " Little sister-in-law, little brother still wants you to birth him a baby"
