Chapter 79 is very expensive.

Seeing her eldest daughter looking at her with adoration, Ma Xiulian explained, "That wild boar was food sent by God to my darling."

Chen Honghong hugged Helian Jiao happily and said, "Then I can share in our darling's good fortune."

Under her mother's constant influence over the past four years, she has come to completely believe that her little niece is a fairy descended from heaven.

Helian Jiao said softly, "Okay."

Although the humans of this world cannot perceive her dragon might, the dragon might she carries still has some benefits for their bodies.

Ma Xiulian is the most direct example.

Because of her frequent childbirths in her youth and the heavy farm work, Ma Xiulian may look healthy, but she is actually suffering from severe internal damage.

If Helian Jiao hadn't been born, the hidden ailments that had accumulated in her body would have fully erupted within a few years.

Over the past four years, her internal body has been gradually improved and repaired by the blessing of the dragon's power. Now she is in excellent health, has a good appetite, and could easily do farm work for another ten years or so.

However, this was not obvious, so Ma Xiulian did not notice it in time.

After returning to the house, Chen Honghong took out a can of malted milk powder and said mysteriously, "Mom, look, this time I brought back something good for my baby."

Seeing her daughter's mysterious expression, Ma Xiulian knew it must be something good, so she asked cooperatively, "What is this?"

Unexpectedly, Helian Jiao spoke up in a tender voice: "I know, this is malted milk powder."

Chen Honghong looked at her with surprise: "How did you know this was malted milk powder, my dear?"

Helian Jiao truthfully replied, "Gu Tingyun gave me some to drink."

Chen Honghong was even more confused: "Who is Gu Tingyun?"

Ma Xiulian explained, "Didn't our commune build a new power plant? Gu Tingyun is the factory owner's son. Is this wheat really that valuable?"

Chen Honghong nodded: "This small jar costs two yuan, and it's only sold in the county's department store."

When she went to the county to pick up the goods, she only bought two cans.

Ma Xiulian gasped immediately; two yuan could buy three jin of pork!

Then he immediately took out a black cloth bag from the cabinet, "Then how much do you think these things are worth?"

Chen Honghong couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw the big bag of White Rabbit milk candy: "This White Rabbit milk candy costs two yuan and fifty cents a pound in the department store."

This bag of milk candy must weigh at least four pounds, which is ten yuan.

Her monthly salary is only a dozen yuan.

As for the chocolate and beef jerky, Chen Honghong said truthfully, "I've never seen these two things before, but the packaging should be in English. Imported things are always expensive."

She was referring to chocolate.

As the wife of a teacher and a saleswoman at a supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Honghong had a certain perspective.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian was completely dumbfounded.

She knew these things wouldn't be cheap, but she didn't expect them to be this expensive!

Helian Jiao, however, did not notice anything amiss. She casually grabbed a handful of milk candies and handed them to Chen Honghong, saying generously, "Here you go, little auntie. These milk candies are delicious."

Although the little princess of the Golden Dragon Clan possessed the entire South China Sea and countless treasures of gold, silver, and rare materials, she had never spent a single penny of it herself, so she had no concept of money.

It wasn't even in the inherited memories, since the dragon race is never short of money, and the more domineering ones just take it by force.
