Chapter 285 You and Shen Xingjiang go over there

The donkey clattered along the road, and Bao Erzhu held the whip with sweat in his palms.

"Not yet... not yet."

"I just wanted to see if she was doing well and if anyone was bullying her."

If someone bullies her, he can help her.

Jiang Wanwan had long known that Xu Lan was not as virtuous and good-tempered as she appeared to be. In fact, she particularly liked to tease those who had just gotten married or were thin-skinned.

It feels pretty good.

Xu Lan didn't say anything, just smiled and said "oh" twice.

The laughter was so powerful that it almost made Bao Erzhu, the "old driver", fall off his beloved little donkey.

When they arrived at the county town, everyone did not go directly to look for Li Yu, but went shopping in the department store first.

Thinking about returning to Beijing, Jiang Wanwan looked for some local specialties to bring back, but after a look around, she found that there was nothing special. What was available here was also available in Beijing, and some were even better.

She was slightly disappointed.

Bao Erzhu looked at what she was looking for.

He was able to sell the jade hat top for a large sum of money, and also met Li Yu, even though they had no luck together. All these were thanks to his sister-in-law's blessing.

Regardless of this, Jiang Ge was nice to him before he met his sister-in-law.

Bao Erzhu always regarded their affairs as more important than his own: "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for?"

Jiang Wanwan withdrew her gaze from a jar of vanishing cream and said, "Your brother will accompany me back to Beijing in a while. I want to find some local specialties to bring back. After looking around, I found nothing special."

Bao Erzhu understood: "Who is sister-in-law going back to visit?"

Jiang Wanwan: "There is a man who is almost fifty years old."

Bao Erzhu thought of a good idea: "Do you want wild ginseng? If you want it, I can find it for you."

Jiang Wanwan pressed her index finger to her lips: "Let's talk about it later."

Uncle Jiu has other bad qualities except that he likes to drink. He is a big drunkard.

It would be perfect to get some wild ginseng and make some wine for him.

Xu Lan looked around and didn't find anything she particularly wanted, so she bought two pairs of headbands for Guoguo. They were made of cloth in very bright colors, with plastic gold thread on the edges, one pair red and one pair pink.

The two women didn't buy anything. Bao Erzhu bought two bags of biscuits and a can of malted milk for himself.

He was very generous and didn't even blink an eye.

He was holding something and noticed Jiang Wanwan and Xu Lan looking at him. He smiled awkwardly, "I... I saw her being bullied at home and never having good food, so I thought about buying her something. Well... I learned from Jiang Ge. He did this, and his sister-in-law lived a good life with him and didn't run away. I also want to be a good man so that my wife won't run away."

Xu Lan gave a thumbs up: "You have great ambition."

Jiang Wanwan: "I am aware!"

After coming out of the department store, Jiang Wanwan pulled Bao Erzhu to where the donkey was tied and asked him quietly, "Can you get it?"

Wild ginseng is something from the mountains, not rabbit or pheasant. I remember that she had to write a letter of apology for eating rabbit.

Wild ginseng is not cheap. Cultivated ones cost more than twenty yuan per kilogram, and wild ones cost dozens of yuan. Price is one aspect, and availability is another.

Things picked from the mountains belong to the local products factory and individuals are not allowed to buy or sell them. Buying and selling is considered speculation and the person will be arrested.

Bao Erzhu was dark and thin, with bright eyes: "Of course I can!"

"Sister-in-law, we are near the Northeast, and there are a lot of mountain products. I know a few brothers who help the local product factory run around the mountains and occasionally get some products. We can buy them if we spend a little more money."

Bao Erzhu finished speaking, then thought of something and added: "Although I have many brothers, I cherish Jiang brother the most. No one is as important as my Jiang brother in my heart."

Jiang Wanwan: "No, you two can get by."

Bao Erzhu chuckled, knowing that Jiang Wanwan was teasing him, but he just smiled and said nothing.

“Sister-in-law, if you want it, my brother won’t give you extra money. How many leaves do you want?”

Most of the common ones have four leaves. It is difficult to get more than that. Jiang Wanwan didn't expect him to ask, how many leaves do you want?

“How many leaves do you have?”

Erzhuzi said without thinking: "There are more four-leaf and five-leaf ones, and the five-leaf ones are more expensive."

Jiang Wanwan couldn't stand hearing such words.

Why?

Speaking of speculation, most people sell local products, such as slaughtering pigs and selling lard, picking mushrooms and selling cotton, etc.

Jiang Wanwan is actually also a member of the "speculators".

It's just that she likes to study expensive things.

The cheap ones were too lazy to move, but when they heard the word "ginseng", their eyes lit up.

Ginseng cannot be sold at a good price locally, so many people take it to Beijing to buy it. There are many rich people around Master Jiu, and there must be some around Uncle Wenyuan... Going up, the old man of the Cheng family, Cheng Yanhu, has even more friends around him.

When your mind opens up, your wallet opens up too!

Jiang Wanwan pulled Erzhuzi aside and talked about the plan: "Erzhuzi, if there are really a lot, let's cooperate. I will help you sell them, and you can get 20% for each one."

Erzhuzi nodded wildly: "I think so!"

"Sister-in-law, let's do big business."

Li Yu is too thin and his family is difficult to deal with. He wants to protect the poor woman and make more money.

Jiang Wanwan felt that Ruzi was teachable: "Okay, then this matter depends on you."

After coming out of the military area, I walked around the department store and chatted with Erzhuzi outside for a while. It was almost time for the lunch break at the local products factory.

Jiang Wanwan showed the way and everyone took a donkey cart to the local products factory.

When I walked to the door, I saw a middle-aged man in blue work clothes and with a big belly scolding the workers.

"Have you grown a brain? If it's as simple as checking the time, why can't you do it? Because of your mistake, we wasted hundreds of doses. If you make such a big mistake again, you can just go home."

After the man finished his lecture and left, Shen Sanzhu appeared with a gloomy face.

It turned out that the one who was scolded was Shen Sanzhu.

The one who was giving the lecture was the squad leader of Shen Sanzhu's department.

Shen Sanzhu had already attended the training and officially started working. Who would have thought that after half a month of training, he still made mistakes on the job? He didn't do it on purpose and was already very upset, but the old man actually picked him out and scolded him.

Don’t you know to give young people more chances?

Shen Sanzhu was naturally very dissatisfied and indignant.

No matter how angry you are, you can't go hungry. The family is short of money now. We have to support two useless old people and a wife who is about to give birth. We have no house and no money, and the whole family depends on his salary.

Renting a house costs money, pregnant women need money, four mouths are waiting for three meals, in addition to food and drink, winter is coming soon, they need coal, and they haven't bought it yet...

He never knew that life could be so difficult. Even in the production team, no one was forced to death.

After walking a few steps, he noticed out of the corner of his eye a donkey cart not far away, and three familiar people on the donkey cart.

Jiang Wanwan, Xu Lan, Bao Erzhu.

What are they here for?

Shen Sanzhu understood quickly, with a disdainful smile on his face.

Jiang Wanwan finally felt guilty, realized that she had done something wrong, and asked for peace?

In the past, he would definitely not agree. After the hardships of life, Shen Sanzhu decided not to care about it for the time being and give her a chance.

Xu Lan poked Jiang Wanwan's waist with her arm: "He...isn't going in, why is he walking towards us?"

Jiang Wanwan had an immature yet mature guess in her mind: "Don't you think we should take him back to the military area?"
