Food is scarce these days, and poorer families simply can't get enough to eat.

Such good grain will definitely be snapped up.

Lu Shan laughed and said, "I'll take all of this Da Mu Mi."

Su Li smiled and said, "Okay, there are still five hundred catties of flour here, come and take a look."

Lu Shan walked over, and several of his men followed. "Boss, this flour is so white and so fine."

"Yes! Where exactly is this grain grown? How come it's all so good?"

Su Li didn't respond to that question, and Lu Shan glared at his subordinate, saying, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Then he looked at Su Li and said, "Same old rules this time, trading antiques?"

Su Li was actually hesitant, because she always felt that no matter how many antiques she had, it was never enough.

However, the large jadeite that Lu Shan gave me last time seems to be able to upgrade the space faster.

"Mr. Lu, to be honest, I'm more interested in that piece of jade you gave me last time. I'd like to ask where you got that stone?"

“That piece of jade was traded on the black market. You know my rules; I won’t inquire about the source of someone’s goods unless that person shows up.”

This is his principle: he generally respects what shouldn't be inquired about or asked.

The person who sold him that stone last time was a young, strong man with starry eyes.

He traded that stone for a hundred dollars, some meat, and some grain.

Actually, if it were someone else's territory, he wouldn't be able to exchange those things and money.

He was only willing to give so much because he had his eye on that piece of jade.

Hearing his words, Su Li was somewhat disappointed, but still smiled and said, "Okay, if he comes to you again to exchange, you must leave me a contact address. I really like this jade and want to collect more. As for this time, let's skip the antique transaction and just do a cash transaction!"

The main reason Su Li felt it was a waste that so many of the Gu family's antiques had been swallowed up by his spatial storage. If the spatial storage hadn't been so indiscriminately devouring things, she actually wanted to collect some antiques to build her fortune later.

Su Li earned nearly 200 yuan from this grain sale, but in her opinion, she sold it too cheaply.

Thinking of this, Su Li said to Lu Shan, "Boss Lu, I'll buy another batch of grain seeds. This time, in addition to rice and flour, I'll also get some sweet potatoes and potatoes, about 800 jin of each."

Her space has expanded considerably, now fully capable of being planted. However, the mountain within that space is still just a corner of what it was before, and it's unclear when she'll be able to see the whole thing.

Thinking about the money she had, she realized she could probably buy two or three courtyard houses in Beijing now, but that was far from her goal.

After the transaction, Su Li bought some pork and mutton from Lu Shan as usual. She already had plenty of eggs in her space, so she didn't need to buy any.

Both Chen Shujing and Gousheng need to replenish their nutrition right now, and she herself is a meat lover, so these things are essential for her.

When Su Li got on the oxcart, she didn't see Su Jiaojiao return, and she realized that she hadn't escaped the clutches of evil.

She didn't pay attention, and neither did the others, who assumed she probably had something to do in town and wasn't in a hurry to go back.

Back in her own courtyard and into the main room, Su Li took out the meat and eggs from the basket on her back. This time, Chen Shujing was not as surprised.

After all, Su Li always does this; this time she even brought back several big, red apples.

Su Li picked up the apple and handed it to Chen Shujing, saying, "I bought this in town. I've bought it before, and it's delicious. You should try it."

Chen Shujing took the apple and took a bite. It was juicy and sweet. She smiled and said, "You really know how to buy things. This is the best apple I've ever eaten."

Su Li smiled and said, "If you like, there are more. Take them out and eat them whenever you have time." Eating more of these apples will also help her recover.

Chen Shujing thought to herself, "My daughter-in-law is really generous and knows how to spend money. I should tell my son to earn more money in the future, so that he won't be unable to support his wife."

This scene was witnessed by Zhou Yuting, who was returning home from work, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Why is it that everyone else can live so well except her? Su Li even treats a disgusting woman she picked up very well, but she's unwilling to give herself another chance.

Even Liu Atu wouldn't let her go, and Zhang Shun, the only one who was truly good to her, has now given up on her. Is this world just letting her be the only one to be bullied?

Thinking about all this, she felt like she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

She's afraid to go out alone now; she longs for someone to be with her. But even when she's going to and from work, no one dares to approach her.

It's as if she carries a plague or virus; even if someone occasionally comes up to her, they're just a scoundrel in the village who can't find a wife.

Why is her life so hard? When she was sent to the countryside, she was richer and prettier than Su Li. Why has she ended up like this?

Why is God so unfair?

Lunch was cooked by Su Li and Chen Shujing together. To be honest, Chen Shujing's cooking was only so-so.

She'd been eating nothing but bland food these past few days. Today, Chen Shujing assisted Su Li in cooking braised pork ribs.

I made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried shredded potatoes with hot and sour sauce.

She made large portions, and when Gou Sheng came back and saw the dishes on the table, he was pleasantly surprised. He recognized at a glance that Su Li had made them.

He absolutely loves his sister's cooking; it's the best he's ever eaten.

The three of them ate a very satisfying and greasy lunch, while Zhou Yuting watched from the shadows with great envy.
