Chapter 194: Chapter 62: Deliver Wine, Vent Anger, Seize Opportunity_3

Yan Fei watched the scene unfold with embarrassment.

However, it was effective. The old man’s face turned even more unsightly when he saw Yan Fei’s mocking smile.

In the Xu family’s house, everyone stopped worrying about the old man making a scene. Xu Xiaoyan’s mother was still grumbling, "This child, he doesn’t even want the money. What kind of business is this?"

Old Xu had been sitting still without any expression, but now, he grinned and stood up, turning to his two daughters and said, "See! I did offer him money, he just didn’t want it. I can’t force him! He’s not at a loss, he’s gone up a generation out of the blue!"

Going up a generation referred to Yan Fei’s appellation of Aunt Xu. Among neighbours, seniority was not taken so seriously, and although Old Xu was younger than Yan Fei’s grandfather, he was a lot older than his father. So Yan Fei had been considered two generations junior.

That’s why when Yan Fei was little, he called Xu Xiaoyan his aunt. But as he got older, he realized that Xu Xiaoyan was only a few years older than him and felt it was a rip-off so he stopped calling her ’aunt’.

Watching their father behave like this, the two daughters were at a loss for words.

Having finished his speech, Old Xu walked over to the jar of wine, casually picked up a small plastic bowl from the counter, and ladled half a bowl.

He sniffed it, then took a sip from the bowl, and savoured the taste; then he swiftly downed the half bowl of wine with a slurp.

The old man then took a deep breath and placed the small bowl on the counter, contentedly declaring, "When have I ever misjudged someone, this lad, hee hee, he even brought a gift of good wine."

These shameless actions left the three others in the room speechless.

Xu Xiaoyan’s mother giggled and scolded him, "You old shameless..."

To their surprise, Old Xu continued after his nostalgic moment, "Ni’er, get a piece of cardboard and plaster a white piece of paper on it. Write ’granulated sugar two yuan forty’, and put it at the door!"

Xu Yue was startled but then nodded and went to do just that.

Nowadays when visiting relatives, a gift of granulated sugar, the kind wrapped in yellow paper, is usually brought. Xiang Rui had brought two packets of sugar when she came to propose to Yan Fei, which was considered the Xu family’s return gift.

Consequently, the sales of granulated sugar in small shops like the Xu family’s grocery store were the highest. That was before. Ever since a supermarket opened next door, they couldn’t boost any of their product sales.

The current price of granulated sugar is generally two yuan and fifty cents. Sometimes it’s five cents cheaper, sometimes it’s five cents more expensive. Two yuan forty cents is the cost price.

Old Xu was clearly taking this opportunity to announce with fanfare that his shop was going to lower prices and engage in fierce competition. They had been bullied and suppressed many times before; this was their chance to counterattack.

It wasn’t critical if they didn’t profit from this product. As long as they could attract customers, because no one just bought two packets of sugar and left, as long as they came, they would still buy other things.

Everyone in the house understood this reasoning, so the sign was quickly put up at the front door.

The crowd hadn’t dispersed yet! Seeing this, could there be another happening?

Those who understood, understood; those who didn’t, rest assured, there were enthusiastic audience members responsible for explaining.

As long as the drama was good, let’s see if the supermarket who rented the grocery counter dares to compete now!

The onlookers waited eagerly, full of anticipation!

They only lacked small stools to sit on and a piece of watermelon to munch on.

Some ’enthusiastic’ audience members quickly ran to the supermarket to spread the news.

Unfortunately, after a while, this ’enthusiastic’ viewer came out with a disappointed look on his face.

Seeing his expression, everyone sighed with disappointment: Alas...No more drama!

Then, all eyes returned to the direction of the supermarket, scornful in their hearts: Just another bully...

Those who had the time to think about it looked in the direction of Yan Fei’s departure and, thinking about his actions over the past year, couldn’t help but sigh: This young man, he’s certainly grown up!
