Sun Shisheng, the eldest son of a landlord, came from a family that raised many pigs. Previously, Chu Qingzhi had even purchased several piglets from their farm.
The landlord, Sun, was also fraught with worry, saying, "With the year-end approaching, everyone's holding off selling their pigs until now, causing the market price of pork to drop daily. Selling now hardly turns a profit."
Sun Shisheng, anxious, said, "If we don't sell now and the price drops even lower later, we'll make even less money."
The landlord was silent. With the price of pork changing daily, it was difficult to make a sale, which troubled him deeply.
Sun Shisheng urged, "Dad, please think of something. Silence isn't going to solve our problem."
Irritated by his son's nagging, the landlord retorted, "If I had a solution, I would have sold the pigs already instead of listening to you go on and on. You're young and should have fresh ideas. Why haven't you come up with anything?"
