However, this also shows how wealthy the Qin family is.
Wen Xi felt quite guilty. If she weren't unregistered and an illegal resident, she wouldn't have needed to put on an act with Qin Mi. Originally, it was just the two of them putting on an act, but now they had to put on an act in front of everyone. How disappointed everyone would be when she left this place in the future.
With a wave of her hand, Wenxi brought out a number of sacks in Qin Mi's room, containing 500 jin each of rice, flour, oats, buckwheat, sorghum, millet, and cornmeal.
One thousand catties each of potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, jicama, sweet cassava, pumpkin, and winter melon.
Two hundred catties each of persimmons, watermelons, pears, and apples.
Five hundred catties each of various vegetables, including eggplant, loofah, cucumber, zucchini, leeks, cabbage, onion, tomato, bok choy, carrot, and cowpea.
Some vegetables can be pickled, and some can be dried. It's okay to take out more than you need.
"Aren't we leaving for a small fishing village by the sea tomorrow? Let's give these things to Grandpa Qin before we leave." Consider it compensation to the Qin family. This way, she'll feel less guilty. Otherwise, she'll feel uneasy taking those things. Besides, grain is very valuable at this time; its value is no less than that of jewelry.
"Liangliang, you don't actually need to do this. It was all my own choice, and since you're trapped in this strange world because of me, I should be the one making the compensation. Most importantly, this fake marriage is a good thing for me. No one will want to introduce me to anyone anymore, and I can focus more on my work."
It's really annoying when relatives pressure him to get married and have children. As soon as Qin Mi turned eighteen, a bunch of people wanted to introduce him to potential partners in order to win over his family.
Fortunately, his family did not force him to go on blind dates or get married in order to have a grandson, but instead fully respected his opinion.
However, if relatives introduce you to someone and you don't go to meet them, they will say you don't know how to behave properly.
Things are different now. With Wen Xi as a shield, no one will try to introduce him to anyone anymore. After all, no one in the world is better or more outstanding than Wen Xi, and they probably don't want to humiliate themselves.
That evening, Qin Mi took Wen Xi to the Qin family's secret room, where all the Qin family's treasures were kept. The huge secret room was filled with boxes stacked on top of each other, almost filling the entire room.
Wen Xi hadn't expected the Qin family to be so wealthy. The thought that these things wouldn't be safe in a few years made her feel regretful. It seemed she should quietly remind the Qin family head to find a new place to store these things, otherwise they would be dug up even if they were dug up from the ground.
"Liangliang, take as much as you want," Qin Mi said generously.
"Really?" Wen Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Didn't you see I'm the only son in our family? All these things are mine, of course I have the right to them," Qin Mi said proudly.
Wenxi didn't stand on ceremony and accepted two boxes of black coins, five boxes of gold, five boxes of jewelry, and five boxes of porcelain and calligraphy. The other three boxes contained miscellaneous items, including silk and cloth, for a total of twenty boxes.
"Is that all?" Qin Mi asked doubtfully. "Won't you charge a little more?"
"No, I'll leave you some start-up capital to make a comeback!" Wen Xi said with a smile. Actually, there were many more boxes in the secret room, so her twenty boxes were really nothing.
She can't go through all that trouble to come to this parallel universe only to not earn a single penny, can she?
The next morning, Qin Mi went to a friend in the transport team to rent his truck. After that, he drove the truck with Wen Xi and the supplies to the small fishing village to find his acquaintance.
He had already contacted that person in advance, and that person had already arranged the seafood, both dried and fresh, so they could change into it as soon as they arrived.
Before leaving, Wenxi secretly gave Grandpa Qin a letter, asking him to make sure the food in their room was properly stored. After all, it wouldn't be good if others found out about such a large amount of food.
At this time, everyone was tightening their belts to make ends meet. If they had so much grain, wouldn't that make people jealous?
It was precisely because there wasn't enough food that yesterday's wedding wasn't a grand affair; only a few tables were set up. If it were a few years ago, the Qin family's young master's wedding would definitely have been a lively and grand affair, but times have changed, so everything had to be kept simple.
After reading Wenxi's letter, Grandpa Qin burned it. Then he took Grandma Qin upstairs to Wenxi and Qin Mi's room. When they saw the room full of supplies, the two old people stared in shock.
At a time when no amount of money could buy food, it's a mystery how Wenxi and Qin Mi managed to acquire so much grain.
"Is this an apple?" Grandma Qin picked up a big, red apple and examined it closely. "It smells so good! It's completely different from any apple I've ever eaten before!"
The apples I used to eat were all transported from other places, and they would shrink by the time they arrived here, and the skin would be wrinkled. Unlike the apples in front of me, they look like they were just picked from the branch.
"If I remember correctly, persimmons and apples should ripen in the fall, right?" Grandpa Qin was puzzled. It was only May, and it seemed that there was nothing else on the market except potatoes and cabbage. But the variety of vegetables in front of him was too much!
Grandma Qin patted Grandpa Qin's arm. "This is the children's heartfelt gift, so don't worry too much about it. Quickly think about where to put these things. Vegetables definitely won't last long; they'll rot in half a month at most. What should we do with these vegetables?"
"Why don't we send two jin to a close relative's family, keep some to eat fresh, pickle the rest, and dry the rest to eat in the winter?" Grandpa Qin suggested.
He felt that summer would come soon, and all kinds of vegetables would be available then, so they wouldn't need to use these vegetables anymore; they could dry them and save them for winter.
Grandma Qin nodded. "Then call your son quickly and tell him to come home immediately and hide the grain in a suitable place. We can't let Aunt Wang know."
After all, Wang Ma was an outsider. If Wang Ma knew about the family's affairs, it would naturally be more dangerous for her.
Although the saying goes, "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them," Wang Ma is, after all, an outsider, so they must be cautious.
After Grandma Qin went downstairs, she gave Wang Ma two days off. Only after Wang Ma left did she call Qin's parents and ask them to take leave and come back, as there was something very important at home.
When Qin's parents returned, they were shocked to see the room full of supplies. Everyone was at home and had no idea that Qin Mi and Wen Xi had brought back so many supplies.
