How could this happen? It shouldn't be.

This sister is the number one female scholar in Furu! Shouldn't he be studying hard at Beijing University? She will become an official journalist in one year?

While the two were hesitating, Shui Qing turned his eyes and saw Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

Her reaction was also surprising. He was obviously stunned for a moment, then a slightly embarrassed blush appeared on his face, but he soon smiled generously. He also gave them a friendly nod.

Now Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan didn't hesitate and quickly came over.

"Hey, sister, are you experiencing life?" Hong Yanwu spoke first.

"That's right, why are you selling food? Shouldn't you be in class now?" Chen Liquan also asked.

Unexpectedly, Shui Qing's answer was like a bomb, which immediately blew people up into darkness.

"I...I have dropped out of school. Now..." she paused and said tactfully, "...I am responsible for my own expenses."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"You...are you kidding?"

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and shouted in unison.

But Shui Qing remained silent, and it took a long time before he managed to smile.

"I don't think it's a big deal. It's better to rely on labor for a living than to have a free meal at home. It's not shameful. To say the least, someone has to do all the work, right?"

Chen Liquan was embarrassed by Shui Qing's words. He blushed and quickly explained.

"Sister Qing'er, don't say that, I...I didn't mean that..."

Hong Yanwu understood that Shui Qing was asking a question but not answering it, and was deliberately trying to shift the focus. Needless to say, there must be something going on here. How could you drop out of school and sell vegetables if you don't do well?

He thought for a while and then said sincerely, "It seems that you are encountering difficulties. But don't get me wrong, we have no intention of inquiring into your privacy. To be honest, I know the 'Education Working Group' If you are a person in school..."

Of course Shui Qing understands this kind intention. But she was a strong person, and she was moved, but she still didn't say anything about herself.

"Xiao Wu, Quanzi, thank you. But my matter, alas...it's at this point, it's useless. I just ask you not to tell me about selling vegetables here. Because we People in the alley don’t know about it yet, but my parents are very respectable people. If my affair is exposed, they will feel that they can’t see anyone. To be honest, I can only go back every Sunday. I’ll take care of my children. I also promised that I won’t do it nearby, but there are too few farmer’s markets now, and this is the only place...”

This sentence undoubtedly reveals more helplessness. And it can be seen that Shui Qing has long been discouraged about her own affairs.

In this case, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had no choice but to agree, and they could not continue to ask further questions.

But they couldn't bear to just ignore it. They looked at each other and then took out all the money they had, which was about eighty yuan.

This time it was Chen Liquan who spoke, "Sister, this money is not much, please take it first..."

Unexpectedly, Shui Qing would not even accept this and firmly refused. "Not much? No, no, no..."

Hong Yanwu helped persuade. "We are neighbors on the street. We have been together since we were young and we have treated you like a sister. It would be meaningless for you to be polite. I know you are short of money. Where do you live now? If you still have difficulties in life, just tell me!" /

But Shui Qing still refused. "It's really not necessary. I'm doing well now. I live just over Yongding Gate. My uncle has a small room available, which happens to be very close to the vegetable batching place."

Following her, she was still afraid of being unconvincing, so she started talking with specific numbers again.

"Look, I sell sixty kilograms of vegetables a day and earn five cents per kilogram. I can earn ninety yuan a month. My dad only earns more than sixty yuan a month. If I stay late every day, Maybe I can sell a few more pounds. One hundred yuan a month is not a problem. You really don’t have to worry about me. I’ll treat you well when you have time..."

Just as he was talking, he saw an old lady coming tremblingly from a distance and stopped. Shui Qing stopped talking and concentrated on entertaining the customers.

"Auntie, what would you like? Celery, cucumber, bell pepper, or chives?"

Although Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both knew that this kind of old lady was the most difficult to deal with, even half an hour's delay might not cost fifty cents. But when business comes to your door, it’s not easy to interrupt. They all shut up and stood aside.

Sure enough, the old lady stood by the vegetable cart for a while. Her hands with exposed veins pinched almost all the vegetables, and finally picked up more than half a catty of leeks.

"This is not bad, how can I sell it?"

"Auntie, we just brought in the leeks this morning. Two cents and eighty pounds."

"Hey, I can tell at a glance whether a dish is good or bad, but I still don't know if it's fresh or not..."

"Yes, yes. Can I make an appointment with you?"

Shui Qing was obviously not used to the new type of work yet. She couldn't keep up with her words and didn't say a word of compliment. Unlike other vegetable vendors, they will definitely praise you for your discernment and how you can make a living. It's easy to make the old lady smile.

So when she was about to take it, the old lady put the dish down and became picky again.

"Girl, what kind of food are you doing? Two cents per catty, which is almost as much as three taels of meat! In the past, this was only a few cents. Don't be too shady, you have to make money. That's enough..."

These words made Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan frown, because they knew how hard it was to sell vegetables. Don't forget, they worked at the vegetable station.

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but intervene. "Don't keep talking about the past. In the past, people were so poor that they were naked. Now you see who is naked on the street?"

The old lady was so angry at these unreasonable words that she glared at Hong Yanwu, her gray pupils filled with turbid spots. A mouth like a "oiled gourd" kept saying "yo yo yo" for half a minute.

"Why do young people talk like this! What does our talking mean to you? Besides, what are you talking nonsense to me! Can leeks and naked people get up next to each other?"

Shui Qing quickly interrupted and calmly quoted a real price.

"Auntie, don't be angry. It's great to have fun during the holidays. To tell you the truth, I bought these leeks for 23.1 jin. I earn 5 cents per catty. If you think it's expensive, please give me a price. Son."

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn’t believe it at all. It's even darker when you open your mouth. "Let me tell you, I just came over there, and leeks were sold for two cents. I came to you just to stay close to home. At this price, I want a pound, will you sell it?"

Shui Qing couldn't help but look embarrassed. In the end, the deal was not completed.

But after seeing this, Hong Yanwu had an idea in his mind. Shui Qing's business is really not very good, he is just a layman.
