Chapter 466: 466. Finally free shipping!_1 Chapter 466: 466. Finally free shipping!_1 Meanwhile, at the epicenter of the gossip in the livestream, Old Zheng’s wife–Yunyun–was on the phone with her younger sister.

“…Day in and day out, I tell you to study hard and not to get distracted by other thoughts… What divorce? What escaping from the sea of bitterness? I’m living the good life right now… Who’s forcing a smile for you?”

“…Let me tell you, Yun Duo, working in factories these days, you’ll be handpicked even if you don’t have an education. If you dare to drop out of high school and run off, once I see you, I’ll break your legs!”

“…You wild child, I’ve told you, I’m very content–What’s wrong with being 40, 40 years old?! All this talk of love, you just think too much… What do I need love for? I just wanted to marry into a place where I could eat my fill and where the family had money. He wanted a wife, and we were a good match…”

“…There are no in-laws to deal with, and I even handle all the money at home… You don’t know, the soil here is so fertile, and the mountains are much bigger than ours. But nobody here farms… Plant what? Just working half of the year can earn you over 10,000 yuan…”

“Am I crazy? Me, get a divorce… Pah! Go for some young guy? Would a younger man let me control the money? Let you and Yunshan go to school…”

“…How many times have I told you, what sacrifice, I’m quite happy living this way!”

“…I’ve had my fill of hardships, I don’t want to suffer anymore… Forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore! Just make sure you finish high school properly, go out and work, by then Yunshan and Yunhai will have grown up, they’re boys after all, let them be…”

Yunyun hung up the phone.

It was already past 4 in the afternoon.

Old Zheng was still napping at home, and she didn’t find him lazy in the slightest. Instead, she looked at the barren fields before her and let out a sigh of happiness mixed with regret–

“Such fertile land, what a waste to leave it uncultivated…”

Then, she cheered up again:

“No need to farm at all. That’s really nice.”

Despite being a bachelor, Old Zheng had over one hundred thousand yuan in savings! He said that although he could spend money, working as a laborer under others at construction sites could earn him eight or nine thousand a month… Wow, such high wages!

Now, with the money under her control and having given her dad 10,000 yuan after getting married, she was free to live as she pleased!

Of course, this smallholder-style happiness achieved through a life of hardship is something the people in the livestream couldn’t understand.

After all, most people believe that one must always strive to become stronger, and familial bonds can be cut off with ease…

As for the hardship of farming work?

Wow, that’s like the poetic pastoral life of Tao Yuanming!

And the land in Yunyun’s hometown is poor… Alas, technology changes life, now even deserts can be planted with greenery! Just use more fertilizer and properly transform it with machinery!

The comments were lively for a while.

Luckily, Qiaoqiao was not looking at the comments, which prevented the crowd’s chatting fervor from flaring up again.

It was only then that the viewers in the livestream noticed–

[We’ve been watching the livestream for over an hour now, and the grandparents don’t seem to be moving slowly, so why have they only woven this much?]

[The efficiency of handcrafting is just too low]

[I’ve found out! I saw some straw mats on TaoTaoBao, and compared to those, the straw mats here look softer, with finer strands of grass]

[And why does it look so green? Is it dyed?]

[Right, why is it so green and even?]

[The ones asking about evenness, you might as well look at the uneven colored pile in the corner, they must have picked out the even colors just to weave a nice-looking mat]

[But I’ve never seen straw mats as green as jade… They might really be dyed]

[Why bother? You’ll ruin a good reputation]

[I don’t think it looks like dye. Tell me, what can dye grass leaves so transparently, just like jade?]

[Just looking at it makes one feel relaxed and refreshed, I like it]

[I don’t care. Ever since I saw that grass mat on the host’s bed during the live broadcast, I made up my mind to buy one]

[Me too. I tend to get hot easily in the summer, and I have to keep the air conditioning really cold, so I need a blanket. But then I end up sweating buckets in the middle of the night, tossing the blanket off, then getting cold again… and this cycle results in a cold…]

[The apartment I live in uses commercial rates for utilities, so the electricity bill is especially expensive every month. And it’s hot all year round here, so getting a grass mat could at least allow the air conditioning to be set to energy-saving mode, saving a hundred or so dollars each month…]

[Wow, from what you’re saying, it sounds like the grass mat won’t be cheap]

[Dream on, when has anything from the host’s place ever been cheap?]

[But when has it not been super worth it?]

Everyone’s attention returned to the craftsmanship of the mats, and slowly the conversation drifted off topic again.

As Zhang Yanping busily responded to the backstage messages, she took a moment to glance at the live broadcast room, and then nodded affirmatively,

Qiaoqiao is truly a natural at selling products!

She then called out loudly,

“Tantan, I’m going to list the grass mats now! I’ll put up however many we make each day.”

After all, selling out often would also highlight their urgency.

“Sure,” Song Tan didn’t even look up, “You decide the price.”

Zhang Yanping had a plan in mind: “Easy! 1.5 meters for 999, 1.8 meters for 1299, 2 meters for 1499…”

However, she took another look at the recent sales:

“It’s hot, and fewer people are buying pickled long beans and green pepper sauce… So, how about we set a free shipping price for the store–free shipping for orders over 1000, how’s that?”

Otherwise, for many small items, people always feel restrained by the shipping costs.

And with free shipping for orders over a thousand, like this grass mat at 999, they’re just a dollar short; customers might buy something else to make up the difference!

Usually, when buying teas or similar items for thirty to fifty dollars, wouldn’t they be reluctant to miss out on free shipping? After all, everything in the store is good, why not stock up all at once?

Of course, there will definitely be those who give up on placing an order because they can’t reach the free shipping amount. Some might feel aggrieved for having paid too much in shipping fees previously.

But, for the long term, Zhang Yanping felt that some changes needed to be made.

Moreover, now that the mountain had been purchased and the payments made, there wasn’t much savings, but seeing Song Tan no longer so urgent about making money, that’s when he brought it up.

Song Tan was taken aback, “I haven’t set it?”

“No,” Zhang Yanping was also surprised.

“When did you mention it? Changing shipping charges for a few orders lately has been a real hassle for me. If you wanted this, why didn’t you say it sooner?”

Song Tan could only offer an embarrassed smile, “Well… I did say it in my mind.”

And then assumed he had actually said it out loud.

Zhang Yanping: …

He stared at the screen for a while, then suddenly stood up,

“Never mind, I’ll go find Qiaoqiao and have him announce in the live broadcast that we have a big reward for reaching 20,000 fans, free shipping on store orders over a thousand.”

“When I come back, I’ll contact today’s customers to refund their shipping fees.”
