Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Chapter 126: Aunt 3 Falls into the Trap

Third Auntie Yang Suhua walked out of the courtyard gate and found Du Haoran still standing there, so she came directly to Du Haoran. Du Haoran was just wondering when someone from the courtyard would come out again, but he didn't expect someone to come to his door. Du Haoran looked at Yang Suhua who was staring at him and asked cautiously, "Auntie, you are looking at me like this, do you have something to ask me? It seems like we don't know each other?"

Yang Suhua didn't hesitate and whispered, "Young man, you sold the eggs to Jia Zhang, right?"

Du Haoran was shocked when he heard this. How did this woman know that he was selling eggs to Jia Zhang? The transaction was at the corner of the alley and no one saw it. Thinking of this, Du Haoran asked calmly, "Who is Jia Zhang? I don't know her, Auntie. You said I sold eggs to someone else, but you see there is no egg around me, not even a chicken feather."

Seeing that Du Haoran refused to admit it, Yang Suhua could only use her ultimate move: "Young man, Jia Zhang is the fat old woman who just came to buy eggs from you. I saw Jia Zhang talk to you for a few words, then she went into the alley behind you and came out with a basket a short while later. When she entered the yard, the basket was filled with eggs. I saw it clearly."

Seeing this, Du Haoran simply laid his cards on the table and said directly: "Auntie, since you have seen it all, just tell me what you think."

Yang Suhua saw Du Haoran admit it, looked around and whispered: "Little monkey, don't insult me. I don't have any other intentions. How did you sell the eggs to that Jia Zhang? To be honest, I have many children at home, so I also want to buy some eggs from you."

Du Haoran couldn't help but feel happy after hearing Yang Suhua's words. He was still worrying about how to find someone in Siheyuan, but it turned out that someone came to his door. Du Haoran said calmly, "5 cents a pound, no ticket required, Auntie, how much do you plan to buy?"

After hearing the price of eggs mentioned by Du Haoran, Yang Suhua couldn't help but feel happy. She asked uncertainly, "Young man, your eggs are the same price as those in the vegetable market but you don't need a ticket. There shouldn't be anything wrong with your eggs, right?"

Du Haoran snorted disdainfully and then lowered his voice and whispered, "To tell you the truth, Auntie, I'm from a rural area in the north. The price charged by the supply and marketing cooperative is too low, so our village chief asked me to come to the city to sell eggs. Since I'm selling eggs, I must follow the price set by the state, otherwise wouldn't it be speculation? I don't want tickets because I'm selling eggs. Why would I ask you for egg tickets? I can't use them when I take them back to the countryside. There's no place to buy eggs when I take them back. What's the point of using useless things? I can't use them to clean my butt."

After hearing what Du Haoran said, Yang Suhua couldn't help but believe it 80%, and then asked: "Since you don't need tickets to sell eggs, why don't you sell them at the pigeon market?"

Du Haoran looked around and whispered, "Auntie, are you kidding? Can you just go to the pigeon market casually? It would be troublesome if you get caught by mistake. Besides, our village is a bit far from the city. I heard from others that the pigeon market is always in the late night. I don't have a place to live in the city. It's not safe to go to the city in the dark at night. Even if I can make a little more money, I have to use a flashlight. Flashlight batteries are not cheap, so it's better to come to the city directly and sell it to someone at the vegetable market price."

Yang Suhua was now completely relieved and whispered, "Young man, how many eggs do you have?"

Du Haoran thought for a while and said, "There are less than 17 kilograms, right? What's the matter, Auntie? Are you planning to buy all my eggs? I have to remind you that the weather is hot now. If you buy so many eggs, they will go bad soon if you can't finish them. Auntie, you don't want to buy my eggs and then secretly sell them at the pigeon market at night, do you? If you do that, I won't sell them to you." Du Haoran was afraid that Yang Suhua would not think of going to the pigeon market to sell eggs, so he deliberately emphasized this point at the end.

When Yang Suhua was reminded by Du Haoran, she immediately realized that, yes, the eggs sold by the young man now do not require tickets, and they are sold in the same store as the vegetable market. If she buys some and sells them secretly in the vegetable market, she can earn several cents per pound. Thinking of this, Yang Suhua said cruelly: "Auntie, there are many people in her family, so you should give her 5 pounds first. By the way, young man, will you come again in the future?" Yang Suhua was worried that the young man would only come this time and never come again, so she asked worriedly.

Du Haoran saw through Yang Suhua's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't point it out and answered directly: "Auntie, this is my first time here. The hens in the village have laid a lot of eggs. I will definitely come again. How about I bring you some next time I come?"

After hearing this, Yang Suhua smiled and said, "Young man, let's make it a deal. You can't fool Auntie. Next time you come to the city to sell eggs, remember to give Auntie some." At this point, Yang Suhua asked casually, "Did Jia Zhang also tell you the same thing?"

Du Haoran nodded and said, "Well, Auntie, you should go back and get the basket quickly. It will get hot soon."

After hearing what Du Haoran said, Yang Suhua turned around and walked to the yard. After a while, Yang Suhua came back with her own vegetable basket. Du Haoran glanced at Yang Suhua's vegetable basket and found a towel in it. He didn't expect that this woman would bring a towel. It seems that she is more careful than Jia Zhang. Du Haoran coughed a few times towards the alley. Cui Xiaowei stretched out from the corner after hearing Du Haoran's cough. Du Haoran pointed at Yang Suhua, then stretched out 5 fingers. Cui Xiaowei nodded to indicate that he understood.

Du Haoran turned to Yang Suhua and said, "Auntie, go over there. That man will sell the eggs to you."

Yang Suhua followed Du Haoran's instructions and walked into the alley with a basket. Turning the corner, she saw Cui Xiaowei with a large basket at his feet. Cui Xiaowei held a scale in his hand and stretched out his hand to Yang Suhua. Yang Suhua hurriedly handed the basket to Cui Xiaowei, who hung the basket on the scale hook, weighed it and said, "4 jin 3 liang."

Yang Suhua nodded meaningless. Cui Xiaowei put Yang Suhua's vegetable basket on the ground and began to pick eggs from the basket. After a while, Cui Xiaowei hooked the basket with a scale and weighed it. He put the scale in front of Yang Suhua and said, "The eggs and the basket weigh a total of 9 jin. Your basket weighs 5 jin, and the eggs weigh 4 jin. The total is 3 yuan. Give me the money." After that, Cui Xiaowei stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Yang Suhua.

Seeing this, Yang Suhua quickly took out 2 yuan from her pocket and put it in Cui Xiaowei's hand. After Cui Xiaowei counted the money, he nodded to her and said, "Auntie, it's exactly 6 yuan."

Seeing this, Yang Suhua covered the egg with a towel, picked up the basket and walked out of the alley. When she passed by Du Haoran, Du Haoran stopped her and said, "Auntie, I want to ask you for a favor?"

Yang Suhua stopped and looked at Du Haoran with a puzzled look and said, "Young man, what do you want my help with?"

Du Haoran said sincerely, "Auntie, it's getting hot, and there's not even a shade of trees around here. When you go back to the yard, can you help tell the neighbors in your yard if anyone wants to buy eggs? If anyone wants to buy, I can sell them early and go home. I can still catch up with lunch if I go back now."

Yang Suhua thought for a moment and said with a worried look on his face, "This is not good, young man. It would be bad if others knew that I came to you to buy eggs."

Du Haoran said quickly, "Auntie, you are wrong to think so. This is not just a one-time deal. Sooner or later, someone with ulterior motives will find out. Rather than being discovered, it is better to directly bring the people in your yard in. This way, everyone in your yard will buy my eggs, and no one will say anything. Don't you think this makes sense?"

After hearing what Du Haoran said, Yang Suhua couldn't help but think about it in her mind. Yes, in the future, she will definitely have to deal with this young man frequently. If someone accidentally sees and reports it, there will definitely be trouble. Instead of doing this, it is better to call on the whole courtyard to do it together. By then, everyone will be the same, and no one will dare to report it. When everyone makes money because of this, maybe they will thank themselves. Thinking of this, Yang Suhua whispered: "Then I will go back and ask for you. If no one buys, you can't blame the aunt." After that, Yang Suhua hurriedly walked into the courtyard with the basket.

Yang Suhua first went home and carefully put the eggs in the cupboard and locked it up, then began to think about who to talk to first. Suddenly Yang Suhua thought of Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard. Liu Haizhong was a blacksmith, and his family had never been short of eggs. It seemed that her family had gone to the pigeon market to buy eggs. Thinking of this, Yang Suhua went straight to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard.

Yang Suhua came to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard and stood at the door of Liu Haizhong's house and shouted to the inside of the house: "Is the second aunt home?"

The second aunt, who had just finished her housework, opened the door and walked out, asking, "What's wrong, third aunt?"

Yang Suhua walked up to Second Aunt and whispered, "Second Aunt, I have something good to tell you. It's not convenient to tell you outside. Let's go into your room and tell you."

After hearing this, Second Aunt took Yang Suhua into her home with a curious look on her face. After they got home, Second Aunt asked, "Third Aunt, what's going on that makes you so mysterious?"

Yang Suhua smiled and said, "It must be a good thing, Second Auntie. Just now a young man came into our yard and asked me if I wanted eggs. I asked and found out that it was 5 cents per pound, and no ticket was required. I was so happy that I bought 5 pounds. After I bought it, I saw that the young man still had some in his basket. I thought that such a good thing must be told to Second Uncle's family, so I came to find you."

The second aunt was very happy after hearing this, but she pretended to be worried and asked, "Third aunt, it's not good to buy eggs from someone privately."

Yang Suhua saw through the second aunt's thoughts and said directly, "What's wrong with that? We bought it at the market price and didn't add any extra money. Besides, the young man didn't even ask for a ticket, so it's better than going to the pigeon market at night and buying it at a higher price."

After hearing what Yang Suhua said, the second aunt stopped pretending and said directly, "Okay, I'll go with you to find that young man to buy it. Wait for me, I'll go get the basket."

Yang Suhua stopped the second aunt and said, "Second aunt, don't be anxious. Listen to me first. This young man's eggs are the same price as those in the vegetable market and he doesn't even need a ticket. Now that we have encountered him and the heads of our two families are the managers of the courtyard, we might as well tell the residents in the front and back yards. This way, when they buy cheap eggs, they will have to owe us a favor. Then when the heads of our two families say it in the courtyard, it will have weight."

After hearing what Yang Suhua said, the second aunt couldn't help but think in her heart, yes, her husband Liu Haizhong has always wanted to pull Yi Zhonghai down, and she is the boss. Now such a good opportunity, she must not miss it. Thinking of this, the second aunt said: "Well, third aunt, you are right, I will go to notify the residents in the backyard, and you go to notify your front yard."

Yang Suhua took Second Aunt's hand and said, "Okay, Second Aunt, when you tell others, be careful not to let that person know." After that, Yang Suhua pointed to the house where the deaf old lady lived in the middle of the backyard.

The second aunt nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll inform the people in the backyard later and we'll gather in the front yard."
