As Xia Tianxiu spoke, she handed the insoles to Master Wang, "I came here with Brother Su Yin this time because I wanted to sell the insoles I made and get some money to send home..."

Looking at the neatly stitched and sturdy insoles, and then at the little girl in front of him wearing clothes patched upon patched, Master Wang couldn't help but take out ten yuan from his pocket: "Good work, I'll buy them all!"

A pair of insoles costs about 15 to 25 cents, so these dozen or so pairs would cost at most four yuan.

Xia Tian looked troubled: "Uncle, I don't have any change to give you..."

Master Wang waved his hand and said, "Keep the change! Consider it a small gift! You're Dr. Su's friend, so it's only right that I help you out. In the future, if you make any insoles, just bring them over. They're two cents a pair; just ask him to collect them!"

Summer Xiu couldn't help but smile – Master Wang's price was very fair.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that she now has a sales channel!

Xia Tianxiu's mind was already working—she would go back and ask the village aunties to collect insoles. Fifteen cents a pair—surely someone would be willing to do it. She could resell them and make a net profit of five cents!

Ten pairs, that's five cents!

One hundred pairs, that's five yuan!

A thousand pairs, ten thousand pairs... she dared not think about it anymore.

Since Master Wang takes care of her, she can't take advantage of him too much.

When she thought of Su Ruyi again, she couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness to her.

She decided to get along well with Su Ruyi as soon as she got back, at least to prevent Master Wang from hearing bad things about Xia Tianxiu from Su Ruyi!

She is now incredibly grateful that she never had a direct conflict with Su Ruyi.

She knew about Xia Tianyu and Xia Tianlu's little tricks, and she decided to tell Su Ruyi as soon as she got back!

She absolutely had to stick close to Su Ruyi as a friend!

At this moment, Su Yin had almost the same thought, and was extremely grateful that she hadn't stolen anything yesterday, otherwise she might have completely broken ties with Su Ruyi.

Master Wang talked to him for a while, and seemed to be planning to recruit him. He even hinted that he had a ginseng road that was short of people to take care of it!

See the path!

A whole ginseng road!

Su Yin was overwhelmed with emotion!

The so-called ginseng route is a fixed underground trading route for collecting ginseng from mountain people.

This kind of transaction is illegal yet extremely profitable, and it is precisely the main path to wealth that Su Yinlai is eager to try in the black market, the one he most hopes to participate in.

If you're lucky, a trip along the ginseng trail can earn you several hundred dollars!

Su Yin became increasingly respectful towards Master Wang.

Master Wang, having found a way to repay Su Ruyi's kindness and genuinely liking Su Yin's quick-witted nature, changed his previous aloof demeanor and danced with joy.

The two had a very pleasant conversation.

Although the conversation did not cover the specifics of the ginseng route, Master Wang had already arranged a time to meet Su Yin again so that he could personally take him along the route!

This overwhelming wealth just fell on Su Yin's head!

Moreover, when the two left, Master Wang packed them two full gifts!

One is from Su Yin, and one is from Su Ruyi!

Su Yin looked at the large and small bags tightly wrapped in oil paper in the net bag and tried her best to refuse, but in the end she could not resist Master Wang and the two men, and could only obediently take away the heavy net bag.

The two men even personally escorted them out of the black market through the back door, and made arrangements with the guard at the back door so that next time they came, they could bypass the front door and enter and exit directly through the VIP passage at the back door.

However, after Su Yin returned to the educated youth compound, she did not hand over Master Wang's gift to Su Ruyi.

He opened them and saw that the two packages were exactly the same: four jars of fruit, two cans of fish, and four packets of pastries.

Just kidding, if you take these things over there, Su Ruyi will definitely become suspicious!

Su Yin hesitated for a moment. He wanted to give a portion to the Yu Lu sisters, but they had a lot of good stuff in their room, so why would they look at the little stuff he had?

He thought for a moment, then picked up his things and ran to the east room to ask, "A friend gave me some canned food and snacks, and I'd like to sell them cheaply. Do you want them?"

Shen Heping's eyes lit up.

Since his serious illness, Shen Heping has been recuperating and has not been working or going to Sanhe County again.

His suitcase is almost empty!

Upon seeing the unique flaky pastries of Sanhe County, his mouth immediately watered.

After buying two cans of pastries from Su Yin, he immediately had Ji Xuchang send one to Su Ruyi.

So, the pastry eventually ended up in Su Ruyi's hands!

Having witnessed all of this, Xia Tianxiu swallowed hard, picked up the food ordered by the Yu Lu sisters, and returned to the front yard, her stomach rumbling with hunger.

With so many pastries, Su Yin didn't even stand on ceremony and let her try a piece.

However, it was understandable that the man was careless—she comforted herself.

However, as Su Yin came out of the east room and was counting her money, she took out ten yuan from her pocket and gave it to her: "Xiuer, here's your interest first. I'll pay you back the principal of one hundred yuan in a few days!"

Xia Tianxiu nodded and clutched the money tightly.

As I stepped out the door, tears inexplicably streamed down my face.

The two sisters, Yulu and her sister, had already been sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), tapping their chopsticks as they waited for her lunchbox.

As soon as he saw her return, his eyes lit up. He immediately grabbed the lunchbox, set aside a portion for Su Yin, and began to wolf down his food.

Xia Tianxiu rubbed her already empty stomach, delivered the lunchbox to Su Yin, and then shrank back into the pile of straw on the ground, trying to minimize her presence.

After the Rain and Dew sisters devoured the food in a whirlwind, they finished off the two large boxes of rice and left only the bottoms of the four boxes of vegetables.

Xia Tianxiu then took the lunchbox away.

She gathered all four base dishes into a lunchbox, broke off two sorghum buns and added them in, borrowed some hot water from Shulan and poured it into the lunchbox. With the soup and water, she had a hearty meal with some oil and flavor.

My stomach is finally not hurting so much anymore.

Xia Tianxiu washed the lunchbox, took out two pairs of insoles from her bag, and went to find Su Ruyi.

Fearing she might fall without a reason, she deliberately tripped and fell, scraping a large patch of skin off her left forearm.

Sure enough, when Su Ruyi saw that she was injured, she didn't say anything, but took out the mercurochrome.

There were only the two of them in the treatment room.

Xia Tianxiu lowered her voice: "Dr. Su, I know how you got this injury. If you're willing, I'll be your witness!"

As she spoke, she pointed to Su Ruyi's forearm, where bandages were still wrapped around it.

The wound had actually healed without leaving a scar, but the speed of healing was too unbelievable. If someone saw it, it would be impossible to explain, so Su Ruyi still kept the bandage wrapped around her.
