CH 40.2

Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help sighing. Although he was a boiled frogs in warm water, he was used to spend money like water. He was restrained for a while. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel uncomfortable, but he was the one who opened his mouth to let others manage the money. was it possible that he could still get it back? ?

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the west market."

Zhang Fangyuan came back to his senses and nodded. He could find the place where Xu He sold his vegetables. Driving the carriage, instead of taking people to the meat market, he went directly to the west market to help him moved his things down, and then went to the meat market to set up a stall.

Now the couple set up their own stalls, and they were harmonious.

"The one who drove the carriage just now the bullock master or your husband?"

Xu He carried the vegetables to his usual stall, and a woman who from the stall next to him asked him with a smile.

"It's my husband." Xu He didn't hide it.

"That's great, he brought you here."

Xu He smiled, and the stall owner who greeted him seemed to want to say something more, but after thinking about it, she closed his mouth again. Xu He felt a little strange, but didn't ask further.

As soon as the stall opened, some old customers came to buy vegetables. A basket of fresh mushrooms immediately attracted the residents in the city. Mushrooms were rarely sold, and it was not easy to find them, not to mention they grew fresh after the rain. Took them back and stir-fry with the meat or with cold salad, it was very fresh and crisp.

Knowing that it was easy to sell, Xu He also raised the price a bit. This mountain delicacy was no less expensive than pork. The buyers picked a handful or two and went home to make some fresh dishes, but there were also few buyers who didn’t buy them, but the basket of mushrooms still empty within half an hour.

More than three catties of mushrooms, he sold them twenty copper coins a catty, and he got for more than sixty copper coins.

The corners of Xu He's mouth curled up. The few things in the stalls really sold well, but it was a pity that they couldn't be sold continuously like winter bamboo shoots.

He thought that with so much money, he could buy cloth later to make clothes for Zhang Fangyuan.

Before he could stop his thoughts, someone kicked his basket and made it flying, and the remaining mushrooms scattered all over in the ground.

He looked up and saw two roe-headed men standing in front of his stall with their hands behind their backs and legs shaking, looking around as if they were chewing something.

Before Xu He could open his mouth, the man kicked over his basket again, and a few bundles of spring buds inside rolled out, they were trampled on, and rotted to the ground.

"Who asked you to set up a stall here?"

Xu He was impatient. The sudden change caught him off guard. He knew that the two of them were here to pick a fight, and his tone could not be kind: "

This place is for stalls, of course I can set my stall here!”

“You are a big tempered person. Others an set their stall here, but only you can’t.” The man stretched out his hand and poked Xu He’s shoulder hard, with a rogue look on his face.

"Why!"

The man kicked the basket again, his face was full of flesh: "I don't like you, that’s the reason. "

They saw someone coming to make trouble, and no one came forward to persuade them. They were all from small farmer family, and they didn't dare to show their heads. Instead, they moved their stalls away secretly.

Xu He guessed that he was blocking someone else's way of making money, and now he was looking for someone to make trouble, and he suddenly thought of the little ge’er who set up a stall next to him, he said he would send someone to teach him.

Sure enough, the little ge’er suddenly showed up, he folded his hands and walked closer with a look of watching the fun on his face. He looked at Xu He up and down: "Hey, there are a lot of sales today, right? Tsk tsk, look at the vegetables all over the place. You have to clean it yourself later, otherwise when the government in charge of the market look at this mess, they want to expel people and not allow to set up the stalls, so don't hurt the big guys."

Xu He's chest heaved up and down. Although he had been bullied before in the village, he had never met such unreasonable people in the city. He said: "It's just in time for the people from the yamen to come and I will sue you for causing trouble for no reason!"

"Oh, you still want to sue us. I haven't cleaned you up properly earlier, and you are still very fierce." The two men laughed obscenely, intending to go forward and drag Xu He.

Xu He didn't expect the chaos in the city to be so terrifying, he subconsciously wanted to run, but turned around and slammed into a wall of people with a bang.

Zhang Fangyuan rubbed his chest: "It hurts."

He stretched out his hand to stabilize Xu He's waist, and held Xu He by his side like a baby.

Xu He let out a sigh of relief without even noticing it himself, he was okay just now, but for some reason he suddenly felt wronged when he saw Zhang Fangyuan. He raised his eyes and looked at him pitifully, his eyes turned red uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Zhang Fangyuan felt as if his heart had been punched, he immediately yelled: "Who the hell is so short-sighted and bullied my fulang!"

When the two men saw the person who was coming, they were frozen like frost. Losing his expression, they wanted to hide behind inertia, and almost stepped on the little ge’er who was making trouble behind them.

"What are you doing, the three of us can't fight those two? Brother Gou, didn't you say you'll make the decision for me?"

The man ignored the ge’er and pushed him aside, he laughed uglier than crying.

"Brother... Brother Zhang..."

"Brother Zhang? You kicked my fulang’s stall, and you still call me brother with a shy face? You are sick!"

Zhang Fangyuan suppressed his smile, and suddenly his expression became serious. The two men were so frightened that their legs softened immediately "Yes, yes, I'm sick, we both are sick."

"It's useless to get acquainted without treating you today!"

Zhang Fangyuan suddenly pulled the collar of one of the men, and then grabbed the other. He dragged people straight into the alley. Xu He chased after two steps, but was stopped by Zhang Fangyuan. After a while, he heard the sound of punches, kicks and crying in the alley.

The little ge’er who was still arrogant just now turned pale with fright, and everyone in the market swallowed their saliva. No one dared to speak out when there was a disturbance before, and now no one dared to speak out. Hearing the horrifying screams, They all hid at their stalls like quails.

About a quarter of an hour later, two men ran out with bruises and swollen faces, covered their chests and protected their heads, and kept apologizing to Xu He: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I'm sorry... I'm sorry. We really have  eyes but didn’t recognize the Mount Tai, you can set up a stall here in the future."

Xu He saw that the attitudes of the two people turned around in a hurry, lowered his eyes slightly, and turned his head to look at Zhang Fangyuan for help.

"Get out!" The two men hurriedly grabbed the little ge’er who was looking for trouble, and ran away without a trace.
