Military Marriage in the 70s: I Accidentally Provoked the Black Bellied and Domineering Officer

Chen Suihuan transmigrated into the 1970s with a space ability. In order to avoid her awful relatives, she sent her younger brother to join the army, while she herself went to the countryside as an...

Chapter 46: Exchange of Food

The man slapped the old lady's hand away and said, "If you want to come in, come in. If you don't come in, get out. Even if you give me money, I will give it back!"

The little girl was very young, and when she saw her grandmother being bullied, her eyes immediately turned red. Although she was still afraid, she still helped her grandmother back.

"How could you do this? Are you a robber? Give me back the money and we'll leave now." The old lady trembled and said reluctantly.

Five cents could buy a steamed bun, enough for the grandfather and grandson to have a meal.

The man was annoyed by the harassment and tried to push the old lady. The old lady almost fell on her butt. Fortunately, Chen Suihuan held her.

"Is this the attitude you always have when doing business? If this is the attitude, I don't think there is any point for me to cooperate with you." Chen Suihuan looked at the man and said coldly.

A black market gatekeeper has such a bad temper. Chen Suihuan feels that the upper beam is good and the lower beam is crooked. He estimates that this black market boss might be a good candidate for cooperation.

"Forget it. I'll take the money and take you back." Chen Suihuan held the old lady's hand and whispered in her ear, "I have some fine food. Do you want it?"

The old lady understood immediately and pointed in a direction and asked Chen Suihuan to help her over.

Before the three of them had taken a few steps, another man ran over in a hurry, and then excitedly grabbed Chen Suihuan: "Sister, don't leave yet, our boss wants to see you."

Chen Suihuan really wanted to meet the black market boss at this moment. That man was so arrogant just now. Chen Suihuan was really afraid of provoking someone he shouldn't.

"Wait a moment, I'll take my aunt home first, she's in good health."

The man hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to stop her. Finally, he could only say, "Okay, sister, you must come. Our old friend said that such good things must be cheap."

Chen Suihuan quickly helped the old lady leave.

"Do you really have any fine grains? I don't have any money, can I give you something in exchange?" The old lady found a secluded corner, pulled Chen Suihuan and asked.

The old lady has an old partner at home. Because he eats well and drinks well, he gets out of bed even when he is sick.

The reason why the old lady risked coming to the black market today was to buy some fine grains to nourish her husband. If she didn't eat enough, her husband would probably starve to death.

Chen Suihuan nodded: "Okay, but I need to take a look at the things first. If they are very different, I will change them for you."

The old lady stuck her head out to look around, then asked her granddaughter to go out and watch, then she took out a small cloth bag from her clothes.

When it was opened, there was a pair of imperial green jadeite bracelets of excellent quality.

Even if Chen Suihuan was an expert at identifying valuables, he could tell at a glance that this pair of jade bracelets were extremely valuable.

If it were put in modern times, this pair of imperial green jadeite bracelets would have to be sold for at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

But now, no one dares to take it, and it can't be exchanged for any money.

"Take a look at this pair of bracelets. How much food can they exchange for me? When can they be given to me? I am anxious."

Chen Suihuan said: "This pair of bracelets is really good. I'll take it. How about I give you 200 kilograms of rice and 200 kilograms of flour?"

The old lady was so frightened when she heard this, because she had exchanged these things for rice and flour and a pair of gold bracelets in the past, but she only exchanged them for 30 kilograms of coarse grains.

Chen Suihuan was actually willing to pay 400 kilograms for her pair of bracelets. The old lady felt like she was dreaming.

"I don't have much food here. If you have relatives or friends who want to exchange things for food, you can come to me. I have food and meat here."

Antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. These gold, silver and jade articles may be valuable now, but in another twenty or thirty years, their value will be multiplied many times over.

Chen Suihuan wanted to go to college, but he didn't have any particular ideals. He collected more of these things and put them in his space, waiting for an opportunity to sell them.

Buying a few houses, and then waiting to collect rent and becoming a parasite rich woman, this kind of life is quite wrong.

"Are you serious? Are you really willing to exchange so much food for this pair of bracelets from me?" the old lady asked tremblingly.

“I just feel sorry for you two. Life is getting better in this world, so I’ll help as much as I can.” Of course, Chen Suihuan was taking advantage.

The old lady immediately handed the bracelet to Chen Suihuan: "Okay, okay, I'll change it for you. I'll tell some of my old friends later, and they'll have a better life too."

The old lady said a few words to her granddaughter, who nodded and ran away.

Chen Suihuan accompanied the old lady all the way home, and then gave the bracelet to her: "I will have someone send the food over right away, and you can give me the bracelet later."

After saying this, and before his wife could say anything else, Chen Suihuan left in a hurry.

He bought an unused one-wheeled wooden cart from a nearby family, and Chen Suihuan hid in a corner and got two sacks of rice and two sacks of flour.

She bought the sacks before going to the countryside, and each sack can hold exactly 100 kilograms.

When Chen Suihuan pushed the wheelbarrow back, he saw the old lady standing at the door looking around before he even entered.

Seeing that Chen Suihuan really came, the old lady couldn't stop crying, and her tears flowed out.

This is their life-saving food. With food there is hope of survival. How could the old lady be so excited?

After helping the old lady put these things in a hidden cellar, Chen Suihuan took the bracelet.

Before the two of them had talked for a while, the little girl came with four or five old ladies.

These old men and women were all wearing tattered clothes, but their temperament could not be concealed.

These are all people who were prosperous in the past, but now they suffer like this. It really is unpredictable.

"Are you really willing to exchange for food?" This was the question that these old people were most concerned about, and they all looked at Chen Suihuan expectantly.

Chen Suihuan nodded: "Really? As long as the things are pleasing to me, I will exchange them for food."

An old man took out two small yellow croakers from his pocket and asked, "How many pounds of food can you give me in exchange for this?"

The price of gold was not as high as that of jade, so Chen Suihuan estimated it in his mind and then gave 깊 60 kilograms of fine grain.

Even though there are only 60 kilograms of fine grains, if you use these fine grains to exchange for coarse grains, you can get double the amount back.

The old man was as excited as the old lady just now and wanted to change it immediately.

"Don't worry, take out your things for me to see. I'll calculate how much food you need in total and send it to you later."

When the old men heard this, they immediately rushed to take out the things they had brought.

There were top-quality Hetian jade ornaments, red jujube-colored Dongzhu pearls, and an enchanting purple jadeite pendant; all items were top-grade.

Chen Suihuan did not let these old people suffer any loss and gave them appropriate food.
