Chapter 21 You're Crazy About Money
"Siran, do you think the village chief's nephew wants to pursue Jian Zhiqing?" Wen Lin asked with a gossipy look on her face.
"I don't know." Ye Siran said uninterestedly and rolled up his sleeves to clean the cave.
"Oh, I forgot that Siran is still a little girl. She hasn't figured it out yet and doesn't understand the relationship between men and women." Wen Lin said with a blink.
"I'm already eighteen, how old are you?" Ye Siran asked casually.
"Oh my god! I'm also eighteen, but why do I feel so much older than you? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were only fifteen!"
"You are very big, but that doesn't mean you are older than me." Ye Siran looked at Wen Lin's chest and smiled with a wink.
"Oh my god, I didn't realize you could be so naughty." Wen Lin was so surprised that she could fit an egg in her mouth.
After a moment, she leaned closer to Ye Siran and said, "Tsk tsk... No wonder I thought you were younger than me, you're really too thin!"
"I will get fat soon." Ye Siran said seriously. She knew that she was a little thin now, but she had just been reborn and had not had time to take care of her health.
Although she usually ate a few slices of meat secretly in the kitchen, she was unaware of the evil nature of human nature, so she was cautious and did not dare to eat more.
Inadequate nutrition was one reason, but the main one was that her mother scolded her in various ways every day, which made her depressed and feel inferior.
In her previous life, she became plump only after she married into the He family, and she grew half a head taller a year after she married into the He family.
Now she is only 1.6 meters tall and very thin. She has deliberately smeared black dirt on her face. She looks inconspicuous no matter how you look at her. No wonder Wen Lin thinks she is a minor.
"Si Ran, wuwu...you may not be able to gain weight now. Thank God we didn't die of exhaustion here!"
Wen Lin faked crying twice, then clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly toward the outside of the cave.
Then he said firmly: "Siran, I will never let you starve to death. I will go to the old educated youth next door to borrow a bucket to fetch water for cleaning."
She saw that Ye Siran was rather thin, so heavy work like fetching water should be given to her.
"Wen Lin, the door next door is locked. The old educated youth should go out to work. I brought a bucket and a washbasin."
Ye Siran said as he took out a mud-red plastic bucket, a ceramic washbasin, and a kettle from his snakeskin bag...
Wen Lin's eyes followed Ye Siran's every move and saw Ye Siran take out a pile of supplies.
She sighed again with envy: "Siran, your parents are so good to you! I didn't bring anything with me, only money and food coupons."
Seeing Wen Lin's face full of envy, Ye Siran didn't tell Wen Lin that her mother was even more vicious than other stepmothers!
"It's good to have money! I have two porcelain washbasins, two sets of bed sheets and pillowcases, and two quilts..."
"Si Ran, Ran Ran, can you sell me the clothes first? You can charge a little more, I have money."
Wen Lin quickly came to Ye Siran and looked at her with her big round eyes.
"Wen Lin, I think you're a nice person, so I'll sell you some daily necessities first. Take a look at which ones you need and estimate the price yourself."
Ye Siran said nonchalantly that there were many good things in her space, and it would be a good thing if they could be turned into money.
The more money the better, no one will complain about having too much.
She would not give anything to anyone for free in her new life. She did not want to be anyone's bootlicker in this life.
But her grandmother is an exception. After all, this space was given to her by her grandmother, and she should repay the favor.
"Ranran, a wash basin usually costs 1.5 yuan. Since you carried it so far, I'll give you 2 yuan and buy you a kettle.
ah! They have all kinds of Tiger Balm. I want to buy a box of Fan brand soap too…"
Wen Lin calculated the prices of the things Ye Siran had just taken out, and bought half of the rice and rapeseed oil.
She is rich and cannot take advantage of Ranran. She is too thin!
With food coupons, rice costs 0.15 yuan per pound. Considering that Ye Siran had carried it so far, she charged 0.2 yuan per pound plus the food coupons.
"Ran Ran, the total amount of food coupons is 101.23 yuan for thirty kilograms. I bought all of them from you. Do you really have any more?"
"My...mom prepared double portions for me. You only need half of the rice and oil. When you're done, we can go to town to buy more."
"Ranran is so nice. My parents, five brothers, and three sisters-in-law said they would send me money and food coupons every month. I will take you to a state-owned restaurant for dinner if there is a chance."
"Okay, Wenlin, you must think clearly now. You overcharged for everything. If you feel you've lost money tomorrow, I won't refund you."
"Haha, I can't thank you enough, how could I regret it? I, Wen Lin, will never regret it."
Ye Siran had all the daily necessities and food, so Wen Lin carried a plastic bucket in one hand and went outside to find a well.
As soon as I walked out of the cave, I heard Xia Tiantian's sharp voice: "Comrade Qu, you only take some broken garbage, isn't this an insult to us?"
"Xia Zhiqing, don't be ungrateful. My brother Gangzi took all the good things that my aunt usually doesn't want to use." Qu Chenggang's follower said angrily.
"Good stuff? There are three patches on the quilt cover, and the bottom of the porcelain washbasin is peeling off. Look at all the ugly black scars."
"Xia Zhiqing, these are the best things in my family. If you don't like them, I will take them back." Qu Cheng said unhappily.
He really started to pack up his things after he finished speaking. "My parents usually use wooden basins. This porcelain basin was given to me by the government when I was in the army."
Seeing that he didn't leave any barrels for her, Xia Tiantian said, "Comrade Qu, it's you who want to please my Shishi. With your attitude..."
"What's wrong with my brother Gangzi's attitude? You guys didn't want it. Brother Gangzi left this fine porcelain basin for my aunt to use."
"Comrade Qu, can you sell these things to me?" Seeing Qu Chenggang's hands full of daily necessities, Xiao Zhiyu chased up and asked.
"My educated youth, if you want to buy some daily necessities, it's still early. I'll take you to the department store in town." Qu Chenggang said enthusiastically.
He usually didn't like to work in the fields, but he liked to run errands for the educated youth the most. If he met a generous one, he could get benefits from him, and if he met a poor one, he could get a candy.
"This comrade is really enthusiastic. Let's go now. Sister Tiantian, do you want to go with us?" Xiao Zhiyu asked casually.
"How far is it from here to town?" Xia Tiantian was a little hesitant. She had just been riding in a ox cart for more than an hour, and the shaking made her back and legs sore and cramped.
"It's about sixteen or seventeen miles. Do you want to take a ox cart or a bicycle? But a bicycle is a little more expensive than an ox cart." said the enthusiastic young man kindly.
"You're charging money for taking a bicycle to town? Are you crazy about money?"
"Then don't sit! It's only two hours' walk." The enthusiastic young man said unhappily.
He charged 1.5 cents for giving other educated youth a ride to town, and he helped others carry things, and even the stingiest people would give him an extra candy.
"This lesbian has improper thoughts!"
"What are you mumbling about?"
