"Isn't Wang Qian overdoing it?"

"Even if you're poor, you shouldn't be this generous. Does he really have that much money?"

Zhou Mengdie and Zhong Changxuan were filled with disbelief as they watched Wang Qian carrying large bags to the cashier.

When Wang Qian bought that scarf that cost eighteen yuan, they thought he must have spent all his savings to make a good impression.

They even expected that once Wang Qian left the clothing store, he would regret it so much that he would want to kill himself.

I never expected this.

Wang Qian bought so many things again.

If they can still afford to pay, then they were probably very wrong.

Wang Qian wasn't putting on a show of wealth; he genuinely had money.

"Could you please help me calculate how much this costs?"

Upon arriving at the cashier, Wang Qian said with a smile.

"Please wait a moment!"

The waiter nodded, quickly calculated the amount, and finally smiled and replied, "Hello sir, the total price of these items you purchased is forty-two yuan and fifty cents."

"OK!"

Wang Qian immediately pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, took out forty-two yuan and fifty cents, and handed it to the cashier, saying, "Please count it."

He originally wanted to prepare the money earlier.

But before that, he hadn't carefully calculated how much these things would cost, so he could only count them on the spot.

When the waiter saw the money he pulled out, not only did he gasp, but Zhou Mengdie and Zhong Changxuan, who were not far away, also stared wide-eyed.

The wad of cash Wang Qian pulled out must have been at least several hundred yuan.

No wonder they bought so much stuff without even blinking.

only,

Where would a country bumpkin like me get so much money?

"Sir, I've counted them, not a penny is missing!"

Just as Zhou Mengdie and Zhong Changxuan were still in shock, the waiter had already counted the money and handed over the bags and packages that Wang Qian had bought.

"I'm leaving, goodbye!"

Wang Qian took his things and left the clothing store directly.

He didn't look at Zhou Mengdie once from beginning to end.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Zhou Mengdie felt.

It was bad enough that he had just humiliated himself, but now he was being ignored by Wang Qian.

It was like she wanted to slap Wang Qian, but ended up slapping herself instead. The helplessness and frustration she felt made her want to scream with rage.

"Hmph, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. No matter how much he pretends, he can't change his poor and stingy nature!"

As if to save face, Zhong Changxuan immediately gave a self-deceiving snort.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because as soon as he did, Zhou Mengdie immediately shook off his hand.

"Zhong Changxuan, we've broken up. From today onwards, we have absolutely nothing to do with each other, and don't come looking for me again!"

After saying that, Zhou Mengdie covered her face and ran out of the clothing store.

"Xiaodie, don't do this..."

Zhong Changxuan hurriedly chased after him, "Don't worry, when I get back I'll steal some more money for my dad... no, I mean, I'll get some more money and come back to buy you anything you want."

...

After leaving the clothing store, Wang Qian went to the vegetable market.

The clothing problem has been temporarily solved, but the food problem remains unsolved.

For the past few days, his family has been eating either roasted potatoes or pickled cabbage rice porridge every day, without a single drop of oil in sight.

So he spent another eleven yuan to buy five jin of pork before driving the tractor home.

...

Around 2 PM.

Wang Qian had just driven his tractor back when he saw a crowd gathered in front of his house.

Most of them were people from his neighborhood.

Aunt Chen, who has a big mouth, was also among them.

"Hey, Xiao Qian, you're back so early!"

Aunt Chen was the first to greet him, a slightly mocking smile on her face. "How's your potato business going? Have you made any money yet? Are you going to buy potatoes again today?"

Despite the harsh words, many neighbors present looked on with anticipation.

Wang Qian's parents, Wang Yuanguang and Lu Aihua, and his wife, Lin Xiaoyu, looked extremely eager.

To everyone else, Wang Qian's business deal was a losing proposition.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Qian will definitely not be able to harvest potatoes today.

Although their Xieyang Village is a bit far from the county seat, it's not like no one has ever taken potatoes to sell.

It can indeed be sold for two cents a pound.

but,

They need to be able to sell!

Potato vendors are everywhere in the county town.

A while ago, someone from Xieyang Village took 200 jin (100 kg) of potatoes to the county town to sell.

As a result, after waiting from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon, they only managed to sell one dollar and twenty cents.

The transportation fee for Wang Dalin to take the goods there, including the person and the goods, was six yuan.

So much so that when he returned, he didn't even bother to bring the potatoes back; he simply left them on the main street of the county town.

If we really bring it back, the transportation cost will be another six yuan.

If it's just a person riding back on a tractor, it only costs two yuan.

Since that incident, no one has ever done such a losing business again.

Only a college student like Wang Qian, who is self-righteous but actually knows nothing, would do something so foolish.

Given the current potato market, everyone would definitely sell if the price reached five cents or more.

As a result, Wang Qian not only bought a large quantity of the product, but also offered a high price of one cent per kilogram.

If this could still make money, then the sun must have risen in the west.

really,

Amidst countless expectant and nervous gazes, Wang Qian, who had just gotten off the tractor, shook his head. "I was just helping everyone process the surplus potatoes in bulk. I didn't actually make much money."

What?

Didn't make any money?

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with disappointment and helplessness.
