Despite having so much stuff, she hadn't saved any money in the past three years. Even the pocket money she had later went to Zhang Cuihua.
They left three yuan before they left, but one yuan was spent on groceries, so now they only have two yuan left. After buying their train tickets, they're afraid they won't have a single penny left.
While I'm still here, I'll sell vegetables to earn some money so I can go out later.
After making her plans, Su Yueya went to the town again.
There's a whole street dedicated to selling vegetables and grains. After inquiring around, Su Yueya rented a stall from someone. It was rented by the day for eight cents a day, for a total of ten days, which would cost eight mao (0.8 yuan).
The lease on my house expires in twelve days.
I'll start selling vegetables tomorrow for ten days. After that, I can pack up and leave.
Su Yueya had planned it well. After returning to the village, she went to visit her neighbor, Sister Li's, house.
Sister-in-law Li's family had a stroller, and when Su Yueya went there, she was carrying a big cabbage.
The cart wasn't usually used by Sister Li's family, so they simply lent it to Su Yueya.
So starting the next day, before dawn, Su Yueya would loosely arrange some vegetables on her cart and push it to town.
When they were almost in town, she stopped when no one was around and pretended to sort the vegetables, putting a lot more vegetables on the cart.
There's a distance between the village and the town, and it would be too slow for Su Yueya to push a cart full of vegetables all the way there, so she came up with this solution.
Su Yueya had never sold vegetables before, but she had never eaten pork. She had seen pigs run before, so she deliberately chose to set up her stall next to the meat vendors, and her vegetables were more affordable than others.
The vegetables were all brought out from the space, and they all looked fresh and clean, as if they had just been picked from the ground and washed.
In addition, the prices she set were more affordable than those of the vegetable vendors here, so people quickly came to pick out their produce.
A truckload of cabbages and potatoes sold out in half a morning.
I counted, and in just a few hours, I've already sold nearly two yuan worth of goods.
Su Yueya happily pushed her cart home.
Vegetables are cheap, especially since there are many vegetable vendors in town. She can sell them for 1.85 yuan, which is quite a lot.
If she continued selling in the afternoon, Su Yueya was certain that she could earn forty or fifty yuan over ten days.
But everyone in the village knows each other well, and the Liu family doesn't have that many vegetables to sell. If they go out in the afternoon, they'll be more easily spotted.
Given the heat in the afternoon, Su Yueya didn't plan to overexert herself.
There are many kinds of vegetables in the space: cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and corn. Su Yueya will change the vegetables every two or three days.
But the quality of the vegetables remains unchanged.
Every day when she goes to town, Su Yueya's vegetables are always the first to sell out.
The other vegetable vendors were initially indignant, but after learning that Su Yueya would only be selling for ten days, they did nothing.
Ten days passed quickly.
After packing up her stall that day, Su Yueya went home, first returning the cart and then giving away a few cucumbers.
After returning home, he closed the door and counted the money he had earned over the past few days.
Over the past few days, she sold vegetables for a total of 23 yuan. After deducting her own food and drink expenses and stall fees, she had 20 yuan and 88 cents left. Adding the money left by Zhang Cuihua before she left, she had a total of 22 yuan and 88 cents.
It was almost noon when Su Yueya went to explain the situation to the landlord, then went home, put the usable items into her spatial storage, packed a few belongings, and headed to the train station.
The train station was crowded, and Su Yueya queued for ages before finally getting a turn.
"Hey, where are you going?" the ticket seller asked.
Su Yueya didn't actually know Liu Dekai's exact location.
Although Liu Dekai had sent letters and money back through intermediaries over the past three years, he spoke very little about his time in the army.
All I remember is that it was a very bustling city.
Not knowing which unit it was or which city it was, Su Yueya was getting anxious.
The ticket seller, growing impatient, continued, "Why aren't you saying anything? Where do you want to go?"
Hesitant, Su Yueya suddenly remembered something and asked, "Excuse me, is there any city whose name contains the character '都' (du, meaning capital)? And is it a very prosperous city?"
