Xia Wan didn't want them to quote her a high price. Business is business, and it's not right to mix in personal relationships and make them suffer losses.

Moreover, it's obvious that someone is partnering with Tian Hui in this business, so it's even more unacceptable to do so.

"No need, just give me the market price. Whatever you usually charge, that's what I charge here!"

Xia Wan thought for a moment and then said, "But you have to go to Huaihua Brigade under Heping Commune to pick up goods tonight, so I can't deliver them."

“You’re Brother Hui’s sister, so of course I can’t let you suffer a loss. I’ll definitely let you earn more. When we go to Huaihua Brigade, I’ll come find you.” Li Hu asked.

Anyway, when it comes to arranging for someone to bring in the wild boar, we'll have to talk to Brother Hui. And what price we'll give this girl is entirely up to Brother Hui.

However, as long as I work with Brother Hui, I've never treated them unfairly.

In their line of work, who doesn't bring gifts for relatives and friends? It's just that they always pay for it out of their own pockets; it's an unwritten rule.

Xia Wan never intended to ask for a high price. After all, when doing business, one should act like a businessman. If she kept bringing up the idea of ​​being saved and causing the other party to suffer a loss, that would be too unfair.

Besides, they've already repaid what they owed them.

Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this deal was clearly a collaboration between someone and Tian Hui, so it's even more important not to cause them any trouble.

"Really, no need. Just give me a normal price based on market rates. Do what you usually do, and I'll do it the same way here!" Xia Wan frowned and refused, her tone a little impatient.

Hearing this, Li Hu glanced at her and, seeing her resolute attitude, stopped dwelling on the price.

"Okay, what time would be suitable for us to go over tonight?"

Xia Wan thought for a moment before saying, "Don't go too early. I'll wait for you at the back mountain of Huaihua Brigade at 10 pm. We still need to go up the mountain to catch the wild boar."

By 10 o'clock everyone should be resting, so there won't be any disturbance if they go up the mountain again.

What kept Xia Wan somewhat worried was the person in that mysterious cave.

She was terrified that this person would suddenly appear or cause a disturbance.

Seeing the thick layer of dry grass and tattered blankets inside the cave, Xia Wan knew that someone must live here. Judging from the signs of use on these items, the person had probably been living here for quite some time. But who was living in this cave? Xia Wan was full of questions but had no way of knowing.

Thinking of this, Xia Wan quickly reminded Hu Zi and the others, "Don't bring too much when you go up the mountain tonight. You can have them wait at the foot of the mountain to avoid too many people causing unnecessary trouble!"

When Li Hu heard this, he thought she was referring to the villagers of Huaihua Brigade or the wild animals in the mountains.

He nodded without hesitation, indicating that he understood. After all, maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times is a basic requirement for people in their line of work.

After determining the specific time for the operation, Xia Wan did not delay at all and turned to leave directly.

As for the price of the transaction, Xia Wan seemed quite reassured. Based on the discount Tian Hui had given her when he sold her the wheelchair last time, she was convinced he wouldn't intentionally cheat her.

Before riding her bicycle back to the village, Xia Wan took a special stroll around.

She carefully selected and purchased all sorts of pots, pans, and various seasonings.

She bought every single household item she could think of. Only after she had bought everything she needed did Xia Wan set off on her journey home, slowly riding towards the village.

At noon, Old Lady Xia didn't bring anyone to her house to cause trouble, which meant she was unaware that they had moved out.

Anyway, Grandma Xia didn't care whether they had eaten or not, so she wasn't surprised that she didn't see them at lunchtime.

I reckon they'll notice by the time we finish work in the evening.

Although Old Lady Xia never really cared about them and was indifferent to whether they had enough to eat, Qiao Qiao, who liked to hang around in front of them all day, was different.

Given her meddlesome and observant nature, she'll probably discover something soon.

In fact, it wasn't difficult to know they had left; a single glance at their house would have been enough. The house had long been completely empty, nothing was left.

"Hey, Xia Wan, where have you been?" Just as she reached the vicinity of her home, Xia Wan suddenly heard a shout. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw several old ladies sitting under a big tree, chatting leisurely.

The person who had just called her name was an old woman with triangular eyes. Xia Wan had run into this old woman a few times before, but she had never spoken to her, so she didn't know the woman's name.

However, the other person's gaze wasn't very friendly. Xia Wan casually responded and continued walking, pedaling her bicycle forward.

"Oh ho, look at her, she's from the city, how come she can't even say a word to us elders!" Seeing that Xia Wan ignored her, the old lady pouted and started chattering again, trying to make her presence known.

At this moment, someone else chimed in, "That's right! Even if you come to this remote mountain village, you still have to do the farm work, right? If you ask me, if a person is born a pheasant, even if he flies to the top of a tree one day, he will never become a noble phoenix!"

Xia Wan pursed her lips tightly and kept walking forward with her head down. She silently warned herself that she must hold back. If she really lost control of her emotions and beat those old guys half to death, or accidentally killed them, that would be a big problem.

After all, they all seemed to be much older than Grandma Xia, and their bodies didn't look very healthy. They probably wouldn't last long, right?

However, seeing that Xia Wan remained silent, these people became even more unscrupulous, and their words became increasingly offensive and unbearable to hear.

"Come on, everyone, take a look! What's on that bicycle? Tsk tsk tsk, it's definitely from the city. They start squandering money as soon as they have a little bit in their pockets! Could it be that they're using their adoptive parents' hard-earned money to support their biological parents?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, please say less! Who told us our family not to have such a wonderful thing happen to us?"

Xia Wan's fiery temper was on the verge of exploding. If she let these people keep talking, she was afraid she would develop breast hyperplasia from anger!
