Chapter 11 Stocking up
She couldn't talk nonsense, because the relationship between her uncle and aunt had just improved.

At this time, Pan Yingying had already put on her coat and turned around happily.

"How is it? Doesn't it look good on you, aunt?"

Yu Chun'er and Yu Qiu'er nodded at the same time. The young aunt was the most beautiful girl in the area and she looked good in anything she wore.

"So good!" Pan Yingying rubbed their heads and took out a bag of snacks from her arms like a magic trick.

Yu Qiuer swallowed her saliva, staring at the snacks, but asked, "Auntie, are you still picking wild vegetables?"

Pan Yingying found her expression funny and scratched her nose affectionately, "Collect them. Pick them when you have time. I'll take as many as you can."

Yu Qiuer's eyes lit up. She could finally save money again! Yay!
Yu Chuner sincerely said "thank you, aunt". She accidentally heard her parents talking that day. Her aunt collected wild vegetables to subsidize their family, and her uncle asked her mother to help make clothes and forced her to give her one penny.

Their family is indeed in a difficult situation now. Apart from tending the fields, they have no other income, and all the money they had before was sent to their maternal grandparents.

After my grandmother fell ill, the medicine she bought was expensive, and even though my uncles tightened their belts, life became increasingly difficult. Otherwise, my father would never have allowed my mother to accept the money from my uncle.

"Why do you look so sad at such a young age?" Pan Yingying wrapped Yu Chuner's clothes and pinched her plump face.

These days, every household has a hard time. They can eat meat less than twice a year. Adults and children all look pale and muscular when they go out.

Well, the reason why she, the "evil flower", and Yu Chaosheng are better off is because these two are the eldest son and daughter in the family, and the delicious food is given to them first.

Yu Chun'er shook her head and spoke like an old lady in her seventies or eighties, "Aunt, you must live a good life with uncle and give birth to a brother or sister for us as soon as possible..."

Pan Yingying: ???

At this moment, the little girl seemed to have changed her appearance and turned into her stepmother-in-law with gray hair and wrinkles on her face.

"Oh! Your uncle should be back. The thing wrapped in oil paper on the table is braised duck. We plan to sell braised food at the dock. This is what's left over from today. You guys be good at home. I'm going back first!" Pan Yingying said all this very quickly, then ran away holding her clothes.

Yu Chuner: ...

"Sister, it smells so good..." Yu Qiuer opened the oil paper bag and stretched her neck to smell it. Yu Chuner's face turned serious and she quickly walked over and slapped her on the back.

"Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"

Yu Qiuer complained, "But big sister, it smells so good..."

Yu Chun'er was unmoved. She quickly rewrapped the oil paper, took it into her parents' room, and locked it in the cabinet.

After coming out, he pulled Yu Qiuer to sit on a small stool beside him and share some snacks.

"We have to wait for my parents to come back and take care of the duck. It's valuable. What if my parents want to return it to my uncle..."

Yu Qiu'er pouted, "Is it not okay for me to just eat a little bit?"

"No!" Yu Chun'er said seriously, "If we want to eat it, we can save money to buy it ourselves. The meat is the most delicious only if we eat it ourselves."

Yu Qiu'er seemed to understand, "Then let's go pick wild vegetables early tomorrow."

My mother told me that meat costs 40 cents per pound, and she only needs to save up twenty or so cents to buy enough money. Then she will buy meat.

Seeing that her sister listened, Yu Chuner's expression softened, "Okay."

On the other side, Yu Chaosheng ran to Panjiaao like a gust of wind.

At this time, most people have gone to the fields, and only the old couple of the Pan family are at home.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm here!" He slammed the door. Old man Pan's hand, which was splitting bamboo strips, trembled and the hatchet almost cut his hand.

Zhao came out of the house with a smile on her face like a chrysanthemum.

"Hey, hey! Here it comes!"

As soon as the door was opened, it was filled with large and small bags, and a breathless "Mother-in-law, I won't come in. Yingying is still waiting for me at home. I'm leaving first!"

Before Zhao could react, she saw her good son-in-law running away like a gust of wind.

Zhao:......

He used to come here every day to eat and drink for free, but now he refuses to come in even when he comes.

Old Man Pan came out and was also shocked by the large and small bags. He was so angry that his beard trembled, "These two prodigals! I must have a good talk with them tomorrow!"

Zhao's eyebrows shot up, "How dare you!"

"But they have always been so extravagant. Even if they have a mountain of gold at home, they can't help but spend more!" Old man Pan was really angry. Looking at the things that had been sent recently, he was afraid that they didn't have much money left.

Zhao carried the things into the main room and ignored him. She had already made plans. Once the furs at home were sold, she would use her own money to support her daughter and son-in-law.

The sun was gradually setting in the west. Pan Yingying wiped the sweat from her forehead, took out two bottles of Coke from the space, and handed one to Yu Chaosheng, "I'll be back in half an hour."

Her luck was average today, unlike the day she found Polygonum multiflorum, but she did find a lot of common things. She roughly calculated it and found about 300 taels.

The two men agreed that every time they went up the mountain, they would take out at least 50 taels of money to stock up on supplies.

After deducting her "shipping fee" of 100 taels, she and Yu Chaosheng each got 75 taels, which was not bad. She was a person who was easily content.

After walking for a while, a green scissors suddenly appeared on the panel in front of me.

"Wild ginseng found 50 meters ahead!"

Pan Yingying's eyes widened and she grabbed Yu Chaosheng's arm.

"What, what's going on?" Yu Chaosheng was startled by her sudden movement. She stopped suddenly for no reason. Could there be a snake?

Pan Yingying took two deep breaths, stretched out her finger and pointed tremblingly ahead, "There is wild ginseng 50 meters ahead!"

Before she finished speaking, Yu Chaosheng had already run a long way away. After a moment, he reacted and turned back to pull her, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don't let it run away!"

They are about to make a fortune again!

A total of three wild ginsengs were found. After discussion, the two men decided to keep the oldest one for emergency use and sold the other two smaller ones, which still brought them nearly two thousand taels.

Pan Yingying secretly took one-third of the "freight" and split the rest in half with Yu Chaosheng. Even so, he still got 1138 taels today. He was so happy that his teeth were exposed and he couldn't take it back for a long time.

She secretly despised him in her heart. She was so happy with just over a thousand taels. She earned more than 2200 taels today. Was she proud?

Because of the good harvest today, the two of them temporarily decided to increase the 50 taels of money for buying supplies to 100 taels.

"Buy more food and vegetables, some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. What else? Let me think... salt, sugar, and medicine! Oh, right! All kinds of commonly used medicines!"

Yu Chaosheng muttered a lot of things, and Pan Yingying just operated on the system panel according to what he said.
