The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became of Shen Jingyan's beautiful and flawless face.

Shen Jingyan completely ignored the presence of Chen Feng and her daughter, buying whatever she wanted and paying the bill as she pleased.

That's just her personality; she doesn't like to talk, and if you piss her off, she'll just take action.

Chen Feng and her daughter Shen Yuqin were clearly quick to forgive and quick to forget, so Shen Jingyan let them have their fun.

If anyone dares to try anything funny with her, she will show no mercy.

Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin spoke rudely, and the saleswoman couldn't stand it anymore, angrily retorting:

"What's it to you two if that girl buys clothes? If you're not buying anything, then get out of here. This is a place to buy things, not a place for you to spew nonsense!"

As she spoke, she used a feather duster to clean the counter area that Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin had touched.

Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin were thoroughly disliked, and their expressions turned even more unpleasant.

“How can we not have anything to do with her? I raised her, and all she knows is buying things for herself. She doesn’t know how to respect her elders at all!”

Chen Feng glared at the sales clerk and said.

The saleswoman looked at her with disdain: "Auntie, you really know how to flatter yourself. That girl is fair-skinned and clean-cut; she's obviously from the city. You and your daughter are two country bumpkins; how dare you claim kinship with her!"

Shen Jingyan had already tried on all the clothes, paid for them, chuckled, said nothing, and left the ready-to-wear section with her things.

Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin were left feeling awkward.

"Mom, just you wait and see. When she gets back, she'll definitely give the military overcoat to that other guy she's seeing. Then we'll..."

Shen Yuqin whispered in Chen Feng's ear, and the mother and daughter plotted maliciously.

They want to ruin Shen Jingyan's reputation so that she can't get married and will have no choice but to obediently marry that fool!

Unaware of their malicious plan, Shen Jingyan, carrying a pile of bills, wandered through various areas of the supply and marketing cooperative, buying a lot of food and drinks.

They didn't leave the supply and marketing cooperative until both their hands were full.

She put the things in the basket and then carried the basket on her back.

The basket, now full of things, was much heavier, but Chen Jingyan carried it without any effort.

She was thinking of going to a noodle shop for a bowl of hot mutton soup, and then walking home.

Suddenly, I heard a couple talking.

"Sigh, I've searched all the supply and marketing cooperatives in town and county, but I couldn't even buy a pound of White Rabbit milk candy. What should I bring when I visit relatives this year?"

Shen Jingyan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a couple in their forties, dressed neatly and smartly. The man was wearing glasses and looked like a leader.

"If you really can't buy any, just bring some loose candy," the man said.

"You're a factory manager, isn't it beneath you to bring loose candy when you visit relatives?" the woman complained.

After a moment's thought, Shen Jingyan stepped forward and politely nodded to the two of them.

"Uncle, Auntie, I have White Rabbit milk candy, I can sell it to you."

Last time, she redeemed ten kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy in the system at once, and hardly used it.

Aside from giving a few to Anzi who had a sweet tooth, she almost never thought of eating them herself.

If you can exchange it for money, why not?

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw the basket full of things that Chen Jingyan had filled.

"Nizi, do you really have it? How much?"

"Ten catties."

As she spoke, Shen Jingyan turned her back and pretended to rummage through the basket.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she took out the ten pounds of White Rabbit milk candy from her spatial storage.

The couple rubbed their hands together with joy when they saw the milk candy.

"Nizi, I'll buy all these milk candies you have!"

White Rabbit milk candy is not cheap; it sells for 1.2 yuan per kilogram in the market.

Ten jin is twelve yuan.

After selling the milk candy, Shen Jingyan discovered an incredible business opportunity.

These days, supplies are scarce, and there are many things that you can't buy even if you have the money.

She patiently waited at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, carefully listening to people's conversations.

Especially those who come out of the supply and marketing cooperative complaining about not being able to buy something.

Shen Jingyan used her points to redeem items from the system and then resold them to these people.

In five hours, she sold 20 kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy, 30 boxes of walnut shortbread, 50 bottles of hawthorn preserves, and 80 bottles of liquor.

Other items such as brown sugar, white sugar, ghee cakes, and noodles, which are often brought as gifts when visiting relatives during the Lunar New Year, have sold so many that Shen Jingyan doesn't even have time to keep track of how many have been sold.

Only after the system reminded her that all her points had been redeemed did Shen Jingyan carry her basket and leave the supply and marketing cooperative.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Shen Jingyan was so busy that she even missed lunch.

She was clutching a thick wad of banknotes in her hand. After counting them, she found that there were more than two hundred yuan!

Now she's a real little rich girl!

After carefully putting the money away, she went to the most famous noodle shop in town, "Tanglong," and ordered a bowl of mutton soup, a pound of smoked meat pancakes, and a plate of peanuts.

She took a sip of the hot mutton soup, and the savory flavor awakened her taste buds.

The smoked meat pancake has a thick layer of minced meat sandwiched in the middle, making it crispy and juicy.

Even the peanuts were plump and fried until crispy and fragrant.

The products of this era are good; they are of high quality and low price, and they are all natural and pollution-free.

Shen Jingyan enjoyed a hearty meal.

She walked to the counter, took out one yuan and fifty cents, and was about to pay when she saw a tall man standing by the counter, arguing with the owner.

The young man stood in the crowded noodle shop. Although he was dressed in a heavy cotton coat like everyone else, he was tall and handsome, like an evergreen pine tree, and attracted a lot of attention.

He stood by the counter for a while, and several girls had already started stealing glances at him.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Jingyan realized it was none other than Gu Zhiyun.

"Boss, I'll write you an IOU, put your fingerprint on it, and I'll definitely pay you back tomorrow."

"No way, what if you try to renege on your debt? Where am I supposed to find you then?" The boss wouldn't budge.

Gu Zhiyun sighed helplessly.

“Boss, I won’t renege on my debt. I’m Gu Zhiyun, a former educated youth from the Dalin Village Forest Farm.”

"Here's what we'll do, you call the people from the forest farm and have them come and deliver the money," the boss said.

A blush rose to Gu Zhiyun's fair face.

"I...I don't have any money to make a phone call."

He didn't have much money on him to begin with. He wrote letters home, sent things, bought some things to prepare for the New Year, and ate a meal at a restaurant. He had no money left.

As luck would have it, he came to the noodle shop for beef noodles and also ordered a pound of smoked meat pancakes.

To everyone's surprise, the waiter brought the wrong dish, giving Gu Zhiyun the two-pound smoked meat pancake that someone else had ordered.

Gu Zhiyun was so hungry that he didn't look closely and ate two pounds of flatbread.

When I paid the bill, there was an extra six cents.

Because he couldn't come up with the six cents, the owner was convinced he was trying to dine and dash and refused to let him leave.

The two were locked in a stalemate when Gu Zhiyun suddenly heard a soft, melodious voice behind him.

"Boss, I'll pay for him."

Gu Zhiyun suddenly turned around.
