The rural comrades saw Wang Yuanchao holding a vegetable basket in one hand and a sack in the other, and it was obvious that he had just bought vegetables from the vegetable market. So they breathed a sigh of relief, lifted a corner of the sacks covering the two bamboo baskets, and said:
"Comrade, these are the chicks, ducklings, and seven piglets that I hatched myself. These piglets were born when I was helping the village raise mission pigs. There were 10 pigs in one litter. The team didn't allow us to raise so many pigs, so I took seven into the city and planned to exchange them for something to bring back."
Wang Yuanchao was thinking about how to improve the ecology of his space. When he heard that there were chickens, ducks, and piglets, he felt a sense of joy that he had gained them without any effort.
"Comrade, how many boars and sows do you have in this piglet?"
"There are four sows and three boars."
Wang Yuanchao was overjoyed when he heard this. He was afraid that the villain would die because of his talkativeness, so he asked directly:
"Comrade, please sell me all your chickens, ducks, pigs, and your shoulder poles and bamboo baskets. How much is it?"
When the farmer heard what Wang Yuanchao said, he looked conflicted and did not agree directly. You know, this shoulder pole and bamboo basket are tools for the family to make money. For a farmer, these are big items.
Wang Yuanchao looked at the farmer's expression, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately said,
"Look, comrade, I want to buy all your things, but after I buy these things, I don't have the tools to take them away, right?"
After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, the farmer thought it made sense, so he said,
"Comrade, I have 25 chicks and 20 ducklings, each for 30 cents. There are 7 piglets, and each one costs 4 yuan. A total of 41.5 yuan, Including the shoulder pole and the bamboo basket, the total price is 43 yuan, what do you think? "
Wang Yuanchao looked at the crowds at the entrance of the vegetable market and felt that the ecological improvement plan of his space was the most important. He did not want to bargain for such a small amount of money,
so he took out the money from his space, handed it to the farmer, put the pole on his shoulder, and said as he walked:
"Okay, comrade, you keep the money, I'll take the things."
After the farmer came to his senses, he only saw Wang Yuanchao walking out with big strides, tightly holding the money in his hand and quickly stuffing it into his trouser pocket, for fear that the money would be stolen or robbed.
You know, 43 yuan is a lot of money for farmers nowadays. Farmers now earn cents.
After the centimeters at the end of the year were used to pay for food, the remaining centimeters could be distributed to everyone. For a family with many strong laborers, it was very good to have more than 100 yuan a year.
Wang Yuanchao didn't know the farmer's reaction, but based on his memory, he quickly came to an empty alley and put the chickens, ducks and piglets he had just bought into the pasture in the space.
The salt and MSG in the sacks were also put into the static space warehouse behind the bamboo house.
Then he peeled all the peppers he bought consciously and removed the seeds from the star anise.
He then put the seeds together with the extra ginger and garlic seeds.
Wang Yuanchao decided that after he returned, he would soak the seeds in water and plant them as soon as possible.
After his consciousness returned to his body from the space, Wang Yuanchao began to walk leisurely towards the Wang family carrying the basket of vegetables.
After returning to the Wang family, it was almost time for dinner. As soon as Wang Yuanchao stepped through the door, he heard the interrogation from his uncle.
"Yuan Chao, why did it take you so long to buy some vegetables?"
Wang Yuanchao looked at the family sitting in the living room waiting for him to cook. His good mood was gone in an instant.
Wang Yuanchao immediately lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and said:
"Uncle, Uncle Wang from the pork stall saw the gauze on my forehead today and knew that I was seriously injured yesterday, so he asked me to wait for him to close the stall in the vegetable market. He didn't ask for my ticket, but sold me a pair of pig's feet and two rattan bones to replenish my body. So it took a little longer to buy groceries today.”
When Uncle Wang heard about this good thing, he looked at Wang Yuanchao in surprise, stood up and walked towards Wang Yuanchao,
"It seems like I'm in for a treat today, come and show me."
After saying that, Uncle Wang came to Wang Yuanchao, lifted the cloth covering the vegetable basket, and sure enough, he saw pig's feet, rattan bones, peppers and radishes in the basket.
"Yeah, that's good, Yuan Chao. We haven't eaten meat in a long time. Let's cook the pig's feet and rattan bones together for lunch so that everyone can have a good meal."
Wang Yuanchao smiled disdainfully in his heart, glanced at everyone in his uncle's family, and said in a pretentious manner:
"Uncle, this pig's feet and rattan bones cost 12 yuan, plus other things, the family's food budget for this month has been spent.
Uncle Wang still owes him 5 yuan."
When my aunt heard what Wang Yuanchao said, she flew into a rage. She slapped the armrest of the sofa with her right hand, stood up and started to curse:
"You are such a freeloader, you are the one who is responsible for our food expenses. Is this how you manage our household?
Did you embezzle our food expenses? Tell me how much money you embezzled from our family and tell me now."
Wang Yuanchao looked at his aunt with a gloomy look in his eyes. Suddenly, he was shaking with anger and pointed at his aunt and said:
"Aunt, please don't wrongly accuse me. I have an account book for the vegetables we buy every day, and I write them down one by one.
If my aunt suspects that I have embezzled the family's money, she can check the account book at any time, and I can stop managing the family's food expenses in the future, but you can't wrongly accuse me."
After Wang Yuanchao finished speaking, he was still annoyed in his heart. What a shitty housekeeper, he was just a laborer who didn't need to spend money. It would be fine if he just did the work, but he also let himself be beaten and scolded.
If Wang Yuanchao didn't want to alert the enemy and affect his escape, he would have started fighting right away.
When the uncle of the Wang family saw that Wang Yuanchao was about to faint from anger and was about to quit, he looked at his aunt anxiously, took out twenty yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Wang Yuanchao, saying:
"Okay, stop talking. Don't we all know what kind of person Yuan Chao is? How could he embezzle the family's money?
Yan Xianjie, I'm warning you, don't make up anything in the future. Let's
end here. This is the food allowance for aiding Korea. Tomorrow you have to pay back the debt owed to Butcher Wang. If you can still buy meat without a ticket, no matter how much it costs, buy it first. Just buy it.
Well, it’s getting late, you should hurry up and make lunch.”
Wang Yuanchao had no intention of making a big deal out of the matter. He took the money handed over by his uncle, looked meaningfully at his uncle's family, and walked to the kitchen with the basket of vegetables.
After witnessing the methods of the Wang family's uncle and his wife, one with a bad face and the other with a good face, Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder the original owner was tortured by this family and brainwashed by them to make sacrifices and fight for their family.
This couple really have some tricks up their sleeves. One uses his status as an elder to discipline directly, and the other uses his status as a married daughter to torture the child. They really make arrangements for the original owner very clearly.
Fortunately, the original owner still had some common sense and knew to listen to his parents and grandfather. He did not tell anyone anything they had instructed him to do.
Otherwise, even if Wang Yuanchao traveled through time, it would be hell mode and he would be at a loss.
