Su Ruyi is not as pessimistic as Lu Duotian.
As soon as she left the gate of the Lu Family Courtyard, she ran very fast, as if there were all the money in front of her waiting for her. If she ran slowly, she would be afraid of not being able to catch up.
Yesterday she walked this road and it felt extremely long. Today she seemed to be able to see the town ahead without exerting much effort.
She looked around and around, but there was no one there.
Still not at ease, he jumped from the road to the grassland next to him, found a place deep in the grass, and opened the door to the space.
He rushed to the well as quickly as possible, picked up the two buckets of water that had been filled and placed them next to the wellhead, picked them up with a pole, and left.
After coming out of the space, I felt a little regretful that I had come to such a difficult place.
Fortunately, she was very strong and was able to carry two large buckets of water back to the dirt road in a short time.
After carrying two buckets of water several hundred meters, we finally arrived at the entrance of the town.
The middle-aged man who sold water yesterday was also there today, staring at her with hostile eyes.
Ever since he started selling water here, not many people who were short-sighted had dared to steal his business.
Su Ruyi certainly felt the unfriendly gaze, but she didn't care.
The man guarded the south pillar, and she laid down her load at the north pillar.
After putting the two buckets of water on the ground, I could finally take a breath and take off the straw hat on my head to fan myself.
"Sister, do you sell this water?"
A woman came over dragging a boy.
Su Ruyi was delighted that the business came to her door so quickly.
Before he could open his mouth to respond, the middle-aged man over there shouted: "Here, come to me to buy water. I have been selling water here for many years!"
When the woman heard this, she took the child and walked over there.
Everyone trusts people who have been in an industry longer.
Even if it’s just selling water.
Su Ruyi frowned and looked over there. She knew that her sudden appearance was a bit rude, but calling the customer away from the door of the store was not against the rules, right?
The man was very proud, glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and said loudly to the woman: "What are you asking that woman for? She came out of nowhere. Do you believe the water she sells? Drink it. It’s not necessarily a stomachache! I’ve been selling here for many years, and every villager who comes and goes knows me. If you don’t believe me, go back to the village and ask others!”
The woman gave the child a drink of water and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't come to this town often, so I don't know."
The child drank the water, and the woman drank the remaining half of the bowl, gave the money, and took the child into the town.
Su Ruyi walked over and said with a smile: "Uncle, business is good."
The man had no good impression of the woman who was stealing his business, and said angrily: "Not everyone can start a business. Women should go home and take care of their children! What are you meddling in!"
Su Ruyi was neither angry nor annoyed, and said: "Uncle, there should be no rule that only you are allowed to sell water here. I can sell it too, right?"
"Haha, it's strange that you can sell it! You're not from this town, so why are you wasting your energy?"
The man had a bad attitude, but Su Ruyi didn't get angry and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm from the village. I walked a long way to carry water! I went back after selling it. With you, I can sell it. I just want to I just need to earn a few pennies a day to support my family."
She really didn't want to keep selling water. After all, the profit from selling water was thin. No matter how hard she worked, the money she earned was limited.
Doesn’t it mean that you don’t have any money on hand? Think of a way to make some money first, then figure it out later.
After hearing what she said, the man still felt uncomfortable.
When this woman sells a bowl of water, he earns a penny less. How can he feel comfortable taking money out of his own pocket?
"You find another place to go, this is my territory!"
"This is the entrance to the town. There are a lot of people coming and going. Uncle, do you think this is your territory?"
Su Ruyi didn't want to quarrel with the man, but she would not swallow her anger if the other party went too far.
"Whatever comes first is my territory!"
The man's voice was loud, and he stood up from the stool, clenching his fists, and veins bulging on his temples, as if if Su Ruyi said one more word, she would hit him.
An ordinary woman would have been frightened to death when she saw him like this.
It's a pity that the person in front of him is Su Ruyi.
The original owner is a character who is not easy to mess with. He is powerful, evil-hearted and shameless.
Although Xinzi has been replaced now, this Xinzi has been working alone for ten years and has seen all kinds of scenes. Naturally, this small scene in front of her does not scare her.
"You said that your territory belongs to you? Uncle, if you want to make money, you can't control other people's money, right? If that doesn't work, we'll invite Li Zheng from the town and let him comment!"
The man still wanted to intimidate her, so he took a step forward and raised his fist high.
Su Ruyi did not retreat, but took a step forward and put her hands on her waist.
"You want to beat someone? Okay, you do it! Let others know that you, a big man, beat a woman, and see if you can sell water here in the future! Yeah, someone is coming over there, you hurry up and beat her!"
The man is really angry. He looks like this not because he really wants to hit the woman, but because he wants her to give up.
Unexpectedly, this woman was not afraid at all.
There were people coming and going at the gate of this town. When he heard Su Ruyi shouting, he quickly put his fist back.
He said bitterly: "It's not kind of you to do this. I've obviously already sold water here first. If you sell other things, I won't say anything to you!"
If there is a second water seller here, and there is a third one, can he still do this business?
Generally speaking, reasonable people would not deal with things like this. This is obviously a shameless behavior!
Su Ruyi thought about it for a while. Business in ancient times was not as involution as it is now, and it was still very simple.
If there is one selling this thing here, there won't be another one nearby.
It's not wrong for her to steal other people's business nakedly, but it's immoral.
Su Ruyi didn't like this man, but she didn't want to break such simple business rules.
My mind was spinning.
Said: "Uncle, what you said makes sense, but I also have my own reasons. To be honest, I am very short of money right now and don't have a single copper on me. If I earn a few pennies from selling these two buckets of water, I won't argue with you. ,Fine?"
The man still gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
I'm afraid that others will see that there are two water sellers here, which is not good.
Su Ruyi said: "In this way, I will bring my water over, uncle, you sell it to me for the money, and I will go back after selling it. Others will not know it is my water, and it will not affect your future business, how about it?"
"OK!"
The man nodded curtly.
Standing up, he went over and brought Su Ruyi's two buckets of water over.
"I'll sell you the water first, and then leave immediately."
"Can!"
The two reached a consensus.
