Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 32 Xiaobei Sells Melons

"MEOW!"

Xiao Hua cocked his head curiously, watching Chen Xiaobei.

Chen Xiaobei gasped in surprise. He had only meant to make a sarcastic comment and had not expected the lecherous cat to actually understand.

A Spirit Beast is a Spirit Beast, alright. Damn miraculous!

"Ahem."

Chen Xiaobei said while petting the cat’s head, "Although you’re a rather lecherous cat, I think you’re pretty smart."

"You know, the only reason you are where you are today is because you rode on my coattails."

"As a cat that understands gratitude, I think you know what you should do, right?"

"MEOW, MEOW, MEOW..."

Xiao Hua meowed a couple more times and even rolled his eyes at Chen Xiaobei.

It was as if to say, "I got to where I am today through my own efforts. What does it have to do with you?"

Just like Xi Yao, arrogant to a fault.

But in the next moment, Xiao Hua’s eyes were glued to Chen Xiaobei’s phone screen. He had pulled up a picture of a Persian cat.

Its looks, its figure, its alluring charm—it was on a completely different level from the she-cats in the village.

As the lecher he was, Xiao Hua’s eyes went wide instantly!

"MEOW, MEOW, MEOW!"

He lifted his two paws and began acting cute for Chen Xiaobei.

It was as if he was asking, "Where is this she-cat? Can you introduce us?"

"Look at your lecherous expression. A single Persian cat has you this mesmerized, and you call yourself a Spirit Beast?"

"Xiao Hua, you’re destined to conquer all the she-cats in the world. You need to calm down."

As he spoke, Chen Xiaobei kept flipping through various pictures of cats. They were all of prestigious breeds, making Xiao Hua drool.

"How about it? Pretty, aren’t they?"

"MEOW, MEOW, MEOW!"

Xiao Hua nodded his head frantically.

Chen Xiaobei casually wrapped an arm around his neck and chuckled. "Since they’re pretty, you have to work hard to win them over."

"The two of us both level up by absorbing Mysterious Yin Energy. That makes us brothers."

"As long as you help protect my sister-in-law and occasionally put in a good word for me with Xi Yao!"

"Never mind Persian cats, I’ll get you all the most prized she-cats in the world!"

"So, is it a deal or not?"

"MEOW, MEOW, MEOW!"

Driven by his baser instincts, Xiao Hua nodded his head furiously.

"A true brother indeed!"

Overjoyed, Chen Xiaobei bumped his fist against Xiao Hua’s paw.

"Good brother, from this day on, we share our fortunes and our fun."

"You’ll have your pick, and I’ll have mine, but I’ll make sure you get your fair share of whatever I have!"

"MEOW..."

Xiao Hua squinted his eyes, looking absolutely ecstatic.

"Good brother, I’m taking you home!"

"WOW! What an adorable big cat! Xiaobei, is this one from Yunyun’s family?"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, his sister-in-law scooped Xiao Hua into her arms.

"MEOW..."

This lecherous cat just loved women’s breasts. And since his sister-in-law was still breastfeeding, he stuck out his tongue, about to lick her.

"AHEM!"

Chen Xiaobei shot him a cold warning. His expression seemed to say, "If you dare lick my sister-in-law, our whole deal is off."

Xiao Hua, his mind filled with images of those she-cats, immediately retracted his tongue.

"Xiaobei, this cat is so interesting! It seems like it can understand people!" his sister-in-law exclaimed in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, his name is Xiao Hua, and he is indeed a little special."

"I’m going to Mangniu Town to sell watermelons, so I might not be back within the day!"

"He’ll protect you while I’m gone. If anyone bullies you, just let Xiao Hua scratch them."

"He’s wicked good at fighting!" Chen Xiaobei said, giving his sister-in-law a kiss.

"Pfft!"

His sister-in-law covered her mouth and giggled. "How can a big calico cat protect me? But don’t worry, I can take care of myself."

"You’re the one who needs to be careful. Mangniu Town is Wei Long’s territory, so try to stay out of his way!"

"Sister-in-law, just sit at home and wait to count the money!"

Chen Xiaobei nodded and drove off in his beat-up farm trike.

The trike wasn’t large; it was completely full after being loaded with twenty Emperor Watermelons. Each watermelon weighed over a hundred jin, totaling more than two thousand jin.

The main goal this time was to open up a sales channel. Eventually, customers would flock to Shanhe Village to buy the melons, and Chen Xiaobei wouldn’t need to lift a finger. This would also boost the rural economy—killing several birds with one stone!

After a bumpy three-hour drive, Chen Xiaobei finally pulled into the main market in Mangniu Town.

After setting up his stall, Chen Xiaobei started hawking his wares. "Come see, come look! Top-quality Emperor Watermelons! Try before you buy! Even if you don’t buy, come take a look!"

"Granny, this watermelon is huge! Is it a real watermelon?"

"I’ve lived this long and never seen a melon like this!"

"Tch! The bigger they are, the worse they taste. These must be pumped full of hormones!"

A crowd quickly gathered, chattering away with all sorts of opinions.

Chen Xiaobei was well-prepared for customer skepticism. He picked up a knife and announced, "Please rest assured, my watermelons are completely natural and pollution-free."

"Children who eat them will become smarter, and adults will become healthier."

"Not only do they improve your complexion, but they can also prolong your life!"

"And most importantly, these Emperor Watermelons are incredibly delicious!"

"Tch! What a load of hot air."

A wave of boos rose from the crowd.

But just then, with a swift movement, Chen Xiaobei sliced a randomly chosen watermelon in half.

Instantly, a sweet fragrance filled the air, so potent that even sparrows flying overhead were stunned by the scent and dropped to the ground.

"Damn! This watermelon smells insanely good!"

"It’s not just fragrant, it’s also seedless! This is absolutely top-grade!"

"Buddy, how much per jin for this melon?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Chen Xiaobei replied, "Not expensive, just ten yuan per jin!"

"What?"

The crowd’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Even though it wasn’t peak watermelon season, melons shipped from the south cost two-odd yuan per jin at most. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Ten yuan? That was daylight robbery!

Chen Xiaobei smiled. "Please, everyone, don’t worry. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. My watermelons can’t be compared to ordinary ones!"

"Here, little girl, have a taste if you don’t believe me."

"Is it really that good?"

The little girl was already drooling. She opened her mouth and took a bite.

"WAAAH!"

The little girl suddenly burst into tears.

But before her grandmother could get furious, she sobbed, "Grandma, this watermelon... it’s too delicious!"

"I don’t care, I want more! Buy it! Buy it now!"

"Is it really that good?"

The old woman was skeptical, so she took a bite as well.

A moment later, she also started to cry.

"Oh, heavens! The taste of this watermelon... it’s like first love! It reminds me of your late grandfather!"

The old woman cried as she ate, and it was clearly not an act.

Now, the crowd truly went into an uproar.

They swarmed forward to try a slice.

After tasting it, everyone had something to say. In short, the watermelon wasn’t just delicious; it evoked beautiful memories and moved people to their core, as if it were some kind of immortal fruit.

"Young man, sell me five jin, quickly!"

"I’ll take ten jin!"

"You guys are being too cheap! We might never get a chance to eat a watermelon like this again! I’m buying a whole one!"

Instantly, the crowd whipped out their money, and in less than an hour, Chen Xiaobei had sold half of his stock.

Hahaha, I’m rich, I’m rich!

With ten thousand yuan clutched in his hand, Chen Xiaobei felt like he was floating on air.

There were at least two thousand more Emperor Watermelons in the field. If he sold them all, he’d pocket nearly two million yuan.

But just then, several men wearing what looked like market official uniforms walked over.

"Kid, I don’t recognize your face. First time selling melons here, right? Do you know the rules of this market?"

"What rules?" Chen Xiaobei frowned.

The government is promoting the street-vendor economy, and besides, I’m set up just outside the market. This has nothing to do with them.

"You don’t know, huh?" a Blonde Punk sneered. "The rule of this market is that we collect a sixty-percent management fee from all sales."

"I see you’ve made about ten thousand. Hand over six thousand, or get the hell out of here!"

"Six thousand? Why don’t you just rob me?!" Chen Xiaobei flared up.
