He knew he was overcharging, but his sister was sick and needed three yuan for medicine.

"Okay, I'll take all of these, and you can give me the bucket too!"

When the boy heard that she wanted them all, his eyes widened. At one yuan per pound, what he wanted was not cheap.

"I have five pounds of shrimp, just give me five yuan."

"I'll charge you for this bucket too. Here's six yuan, keep it."

"Thank you, thank you so much," he said, genuinely grateful.

Su Li handed the money to the boy, and it was clear that there were no adults at home, otherwise he wouldn't have come here.

She carried the bucket out of the black market and went to a secluded spot to store the items in her spatial storage.

Then we headed towards the state-run restaurant, where they were serving sea bass and saury as special dishes today.

Su Li ordered two saury, something that's rarely available in modern times.

I also ordered a stir-fried pork dish and a tomato and egg soup.

After ordering her food, she found an empty table and sat down.

After waiting a while, the waiter said her food was ready. She brought the food over.

As soon as I sat down, I saw Su Jiaojiao sitting down opposite me.

"Sister, I didn't expect you to be eating so well even after going to the countryside. Do you mind if I eat with you?"

What if I say I mind?

"Then I don't mind telling everyone that you stole all the money from the house and are living a life of luxury all by yourself. I'm sure everyone will be very interested."

Su Li looked at her with a half-smile; "If you don't want me to say in public that you're shameless and begging for food, then do as you please."

After saying that, he ignored Su Jiaojiao and started eating.

Su Jiaojiao felt that Su Li was capable of anything now.

She didn't want to embarrass herself, so she angrily went to order food herself.

After finishing her meal, Su Li bought twenty more meat buns.

Seeing how much money she was spending, Su Jiaojiao became even more certain that the money in the house must have been stolen by her.

Su Li took the steamed buns and walked out of the state-run restaurant, completely ignoring the malicious gaze behind her.

Reaching a secluded spot, she placed the steamed buns in her storage space and took out the basket and half a bucket of shrimp.

Then she walked towards the oxcart. The old man saw that she had bought so many things and helped her put them on the oxcart.

Su Li grabbed a few fruit candies and handed them to Old Li, saying, "Uncle, thank you! I just happened to buy some candies at the supply and marketing cooperative, so I'll give you some to sweeten your mouth."

"Su, you're too kind. In the future, if you need anything from the supply and marketing cooperative, just let me know."

"Then I'll have to trouble you in the future."

"Of course, of course."

The two had barely exchanged a few words when the others began to arrive one after another.

Behind Zhou Yuting followed Zhao Meilan, who was all smiles and carrying a lot of things.

The two chatted casually as they slowly walked to the oxcart.

As soon as Zhou Yuting saw Su Li, she sat down next to her.

"Su Li, you scared me to death just now! Luckily Mei Lan was here, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do!"

Su Li glanced at Zhao Meilan, her expression unreadable; "What's wrong?"

"Just now..."

As she was speaking, Zhao Meilan tugged at her sleeve; "Tingting, let's not talk about this here!"

Zhou Yuting then noticed that several educated youths were walking towards them, and Old Li was also watching and waiting for her to continue.

Now was indeed not a good time to talk, so he said to Su Li, "I'll talk to you when we get back."

"OK"

Half an hour later, the oxcart was full of people, and the return trip was more crowded than the journey there.

After all, Su Li and Zhou Yuting bought far too many things.

Several educated youths and two old women from the Yu family all looked at them differently.

As soon as the oxcart started moving, Niu Tieguang's mother, Zhang Cuilan, peeked at the bucket next to Su Li.

"Su, you bought half a bucket of river shrimp? There's hardly any meat on them, just shells. Aren't you just wasting your money?"

Su Li sneered; this old woman Yu was really meddling. "I'm willing."

Zhang Cuilan didn't hear her clearly and asked again, "What did you say?"

"I said I'm willing, is it any of your business? Mind your own business, do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?"

"Pfft..." Xie Feng couldn't help but chuckle. This girl looked so thin, but he didn't expect her to be so funny.

And when he ran into her at the recycling center today, he felt something was off.

Su Li glared at the male lead and then looked at him again.

Although the male lead is handsome, he only got together with the female lead after they went to university.

But she couldn't be bothered with anyone related to Su Jiaojiao.

The female lead has warped values, so it's easy to imagine what kind of good person could end up with her.

"I'm telling you, you silly girl, how can you not tell right from wrong? I'm just trying to advise you to be frugal, or you'll end up not even having enough to eat."

"What I eat is none of your business, so mind your own business from now on."

That slut really doesn't know what's good for her; buying so many things must have cost her a lot of money.

No, I need to find out more about her background when I get back. If she ever actually marries into her family, I'll make sure she makes that slut submit to me.

Zhang Cuihua spat and didn't say anything more.

"Sister, your aunt is just concerned about you. Why are you saying such hurtful things? You took all eight hundred yuan from the house. That money was earned by your father through years of hard work. If you keep spending like this, you might really have to eat coarse food in the future, just like your aunt said."

When everyone heard that it was eight hundred yuan, their eyes changed when they looked at Su Li. That was eight hundred yuan! Nowadays, a worker's salary is only twenty or thirty yuan. If he didn't eat or drink, he would have to save for three or four years to reach eight hundred yuan. This was the first of its kind in the village.
