"Hey, I said you looked familiar? Is it really you?!"

A familiar voice came from the man.

Hua Shi stood up suddenly and turned to look over.

I have indeed seen it before, several months ago, what was it called...

"You are...?" She hesitated and looked at the two people who were standing not far in front of her.

He Jiang patted the shoulder of his good friend beside him, looked at Hua Shi, and said with a smile, "It's me, He Jiang! I just met him not long ago!"

Hua Shi only then remembered his name, which was indeed He Jiang...

She also remembered that the last time she saw He Jiang, Xie Mingchi was with another young master who was very wealthy. This He Jiang should be a good friend of Xie Mingchi.

The man next to He Jiang looked at Hua Shi with a strange look in his eyes, full of scrutiny.

Hua Shi and He Jiang had only met once, so they weren't close. She just smiled and nodded at him, not wanting to exchange any more pleasantries. "Well, I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Hua Shi had no intention of chatting with the two adult men she was not very familiar with, as her mind was completely focused on her unsellable winter dates.

He Jiang saw that her clothes were worn and thin, her head and body were covered with fallen snow, her shoes and trouser legs were wet with snow, and her face was purple from the cold.

The two men, both with thick skin and flesh, felt the chill outside even with two thick cotton-padded jackets on, not to mention a thinly dressed woman...

Although he didn't return to the village often, he had heard the rumors over the past few months...

"Wait a minute, where are you going? It's winter and snowing, why don't you stay home? What are you going out for?"

He Jiang spoke up to stop the man and asked casually.

Zhang Qingsheng, who was beside him, noticed the basket in her hand. It was heavy and seemed to contain something, but it was covered tightly with cloth and could not be seen clearly.

After He Jiang finished asking the question, he also noticed that she was holding a basket in her hand, and then he quickly guessed what she meant.

In the middle of winter, they were carrying things with them, and the clothes they wore were tattered, nothing good. They were freezing, but they still had to endure it.

I guess there must be something in here that I want to take to other places to exchange for food or something else...

He Jiang hesitated for a moment, then asked enthusiastically, "Are you going to change something? Do you need our help?"

The girl in front of him was actually the new wife that Brother Xie's family had found for him. This had been circulating in the village for a while. Although Brother Xie didn't show any reaction, at least he didn't object.

This can be considered as tacit agreement. Anyway, after the New Year and the wedding, she will be considered as Brother Xie's wife, and they will also call her sister-in-law.

Now, if they see their sister-in-law encountering any difficulties, they can help, but they can't just stand by and watch.

Zhang Qingshan beside him probably had the same idea. When he heard He Jiang ask, he followed He Jiang's words and looked at Hua Shi.

Hua Shi was not familiar with the two of them, and she didn't expect He Jiang to ask her about her. Her thoughts turned, and she suddenly remembered what Hua Yu had mentioned before.

She seemed to remember Hua Yu saying that He Jiang and Xie Mingchi would often return to the village to collect game from the mountains and then resell it to the town...

Hua Shi removed the cloth covering the basket, revealing the winter dates inside, and explained, "These are the winter dates I picked in the mountains yesterday. They look good, so I wanted to take them to the village to sell and see if I can make some money."

Her words made He Jiang and Zhang Qingshan look at each other subconsciously.

Both of them were a little surprised.

He Jiang frowned, and although he couldn't bear to break her mind, he saw that it was so cold and the dates couldn't be sold in the village, so he said,

"Sister-in-law, you can't sell these in the village. The village is close to the mountains, and most of the fruits grow in the mountains. They have seen a lot of wild fruits in the mountains, so they are not rare. So no one is willing to sell these things for money."

Isn't this a pure waste of money...

There are few wealthy people in the village. They would rather spend every penny wisely and spend it wisely.

So what he said was the truth. No one would spend money to buy this kind of wild fruit which is not filling and can only be regarded as a snack for children.

Zhang Qingshan on the side nodded in agreement.

Indeed, it's good enough for the villagers to have enough to eat, where do they get the spare money to buy this kind of food...

Before Hua Shi could say anything, He Jiang continued, "I see you're so cold your face is blue, yet there's still so much left in the basket. You probably didn't sell anything then, right? Otherwise, I think your winter dates are pretty good. If you trust me, I can help you take them to town to sell."

Zhang Qingshan also nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it is possible. There are many wealthy families in this town, and most people have more money than they need. They might be interested in these things."

Hua Shi didn't expect He Jiang to say this. She had originally thought about whether she could say hello to He Jiang and ask him when he would return to the village, so that she could sell the next time she caught something prey in the mountains to him.

She had never thought that he would actually be willing to help her sell these winter dates. It was of course good to have someone to help her. She nodded and said, "If you are willing to help me, of course it's good. If you can sell them, the money will be 40% and 60%, how about it?"

He Jiang was obviously willing to help her because of Xie Mingchi, but she couldn't let others make a wasted trip. Although the money was not much, she still had to give them some compensation.

Only when there is give and take can there be a next time, and only then can the cooperation last long...

He Jiang brought the basket over. When he heard her say she wanted to give him a share of the money, he refused without a second thought. "No need to give me a share. This is just something I can do. Besides, there's no guarantee that I can sell it. Don't hold your hopes too high."
