The other side.

Chen Yuan came to his brother's shop while carrying his niece doing embroidery.

This is a small shop located in the south of the city.

The name of the shop is also very simple, it is called "North and South Grocery".

Because Chen Wenqing’s business mainly targets rural people in the villages and towns around Pingliang County.

Choosing a very charming name will make it difficult for people to understand.

At the door of the shop, there is a wooden board hanging on the wall, on which the purchase prices of chestnuts, mushrooms, hazelnuts, animal skins and other mountain products are written in charcoal.

When Chen Yuan arrived, Chen Wenqing was weighing a sixty-year-old man who had come from the country with his trouser legs rolled up and some sand and mud on his shoes. It looked like he had walked a long way up the mountain, but he was very strong.

A basket of chestnuts picked up from the mountain.

"Old man, the current purchase price of chestnuts is two small cents per catty. Your basket contains fifteen catties, a total of three cents."

After Chen Wenqing weighed himself, he said to the old man.

"Shopkeeper, the price is too low. Let's raise it a little higher. This old man has been picking up blue chestnuts in the mountains all day."

The old man argued hard.

"The price has reached its peak. Uncle, if you think the price is low, you can go and look elsewhere."

Chen Wenqing said with a smile.

The old man did not leave, however, and continued to discuss the price with Chen Wenqing.

Chen Yuan watched from the side and found it very interesting.

He didn't think that his brother was rich and unkind.

Although his family's financial situation is acceptable, it is definitely not a wealthy family.

This kind of grocery business is not a profitable business, it only makes a very small profit.

People who are too kind-hearted cannot run this kind of grocery business, because the shop will go bankrupt while doing it.

In fact, compared to other grocery stores in Pingliang County, his brother Chen Wenqing's prices are very reasonable, and there are never many weighs. Unlike other grocery stores, sometimes a basket of mountain products will be two to three kilograms or even five or six kilograms less.

Because of this, his brother Chen Wenqing's grocery store has always been doing very well, and villagers around Pingliang County love to come to him to sell mountain products.

As for this old man who wants to sell it at a high price...

Without him, this is just normal human nature.

As a seller, everyone wants the price of what they buy to be higher.

As Chen Yuan watched, Chen Wenqing finally reached a deal with his old man. The price was still the same and there was no additional price increase.

"Erlang, you are here."

Seeing Chen Yuan coming over, Chen Wenqing smiled and said after seeing the old man off.

"Daddy."

The little girl Xiuxiu jumped out of Chen Yuan's arms and opened her arms to throw herself into her father's arms.

Chen Yuan handed Xiu Xiu to his brother Chen Wenqing, who happily hugged him into his arms.

"Brother, I'm going to rent a house in the city and live separately from you."

Chen Yuan thought for a while and finally expressed his thoughts.

"Why is this?"

Chen Wenqing's expression changed.

His young brother has just come back and wants to move out. If outsiders find out, they will poke his spine.

"I have entered the Taoist sect and am considered a monk. Sometimes I need to practice. It is not convenient to live with your family."

Chen Yuan found a reason.

In fact, the main reason is that he is older now and is considered an adult.

Unlike his predecessor, who was still a young man before he left home, he was still a boy who said he was too old or too young.

Now his brother is busy with business outside. If he lives at home all the time, then he and his brother and sister-in-law will be the only ones left in the house. It doesn't matter if they live for a short time. If the time is long, gossip will spread.

He didn't care, he was just afraid that his brother and sister-in-law's innocence would be stained and others would see the joke in vain.

"No, I don't agree."

Hearing that the reason given by Chen Yuan was so far-fetched, Chen Wenqing refused without hesitation.

"If you want to practice, you can practice at home, so why bother moving out as soon as you come back!"

Chen Wenqing is not in a good mood.

"I said it to tell my brother, but I didn't want to get his approval."

Chen Yuan looked at Chen Wenqing calmly and said.

"You..."

Chen Wenqing looked at Chen Yuan carefully, and he realized that after three years of separation, his younger brother's personality had changed drastically. He was no longer the less independent younger brother he was three years ago.

"When your brother-in-law comes, tell her about this. If she agrees to be your brother, she will agree."

Having no other choice, Chen Wenqing pushed the matter onto his wife.

"Okay, I'll tell my brother and sister-in-law when they come later."

Chen Yuan doesn’t care.

He believes that his brother and sister-in-law will agree.

After entertaining a few more guests, it was already noon. Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping prepared the meal, put the meal in a food box, and brought it to the shop.

When Wu Qingping put the food on the table and Chen Yuan and Chen Wenqing were eating, Chen Yuan raised this question again. Wu Qingping, who was watching Xiu Xiu playing in the shop, suddenly changed her face.

Wu Qingping asked Chen Yuan: "Uncle, did I fail to entertain you yesterday?"

Chen Yuan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, took a leisurely mouthful of rice and said, "That's not true."

Wu Qingping added: "If not, then why does uncle want to move out?"

Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks, looked at his brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping, and said solemnly: "Brother and sister-in-law, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Chen Wenqing answered from the side: "Just tell the truth."

Because he had just listened to Chen Yuan's reasons, he felt that his brother wanted to move out for another reason.

Chen Yuan then said: "I have turned eighteen this year, and I have become an adult."

Chen Wenqing said: "What happened to Shiba? You are still a brother to Shiba."

He didn't think much about it at all.

Brother-in-law Wu Qingping heard the hidden meaning in Chen Yuan's words, and her eyes were thoughtful.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Qingping looked at Chen Wenqing: "Da Lang, since my uncle has decided to move out, let's respect his idea."

Chen Wenqing never expected that his wife would be convinced by his brother so quickly.

He quickly said: "But..."

But Chen Yuan looked at Chen Wenqing from the side and said with a smile: "Brother, we just agreed, as long as we convince my brother and sister-in-law, you will agree."

Chen Wenqing really had no choice but to sigh: "Oh, okay."

Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping said from the side: "Uncle, you want to move out. We, as a couple, respect your idea, but you can't move out so quickly. In any case, you have to live at home for a few days, otherwise we will be kicked out."

Others gossiped, but those who didn’t know it thought it was us and my wife who were chasing you away, so they kicked you out as soon as you came back.”

Chen Yuan nodded and said: "Okay."

His purpose is just to move out and live there. As for staying for a few more days, that's totally fine.

Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping suggested again: "When the shop closes in the evening, let Dalang and you find a suitable house first. It can't be too far away from us, so that we can communicate easily."

Chen Wenqing finally came to his senses at this moment, and he quickly echoed: "Qingping is right."

Since it is inevitable that my younger brother will move out, naturally, as his wife said, she must take the initiative to help Chen Yuan find a good house, preferably in the west of the city.

Otherwise, if they were looking for him in the east of the city, they would have to cross the entire Pingliang County to see this young brother.

Chen Yuan nodded: "This is okay too."

Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping felt relieved when Chen Yuan agreed to all her requests.

After brothers Chen Yuan and Chen Wenqing finished eating, their brother-in-law Wu Qingping packed up the leftovers and went home with their food boxes and Xiuxiu.

Chen Yuan is in the shop, helping his brother take care of the business.

It was not until the afternoon, when there were no more people on the street and no customers came to the shop, that Chen Wenqing locked the door and took Chen Yuan to a tooth shop he knew well.

But while walking on the street, when Chen Yuan and Chen passed by an alley, they saw two strangely dressed people at the entrance of the alley in front.
