"Xuejun, these potatoes are specially left for you by your cousin! Look, they are big and plump, and they taste great. They are fresh, just dug out of the ground!"
Qiao Xuejun opened her eyes and saw two old men and women in their sixties sitting on the old-fashioned sofa opposite her in the small living room. The old woman was holding a yellow potato in her hand and trying hard to sell it to her.
But the skin of the potato had lost its luster, so it was definitely not fresh as she said.
"Host, host, here comes your chance, hurry up and buy the potatoes! There are still 10 days until the end of the world. When the time comes, mutant creatures will come out to eat people, and humans can only hide. They will fight to the death for a piece of bread! But potatoes are easy to store, so the host doesn't have to fight with others for bread."
The system in my mind said excitedly.
Qiao Xuejun traveled into a post-apocalyptic novel. It is now the eve of the apocalypse, and the earth is about to enter purgatory escape mode, and large numbers of people will die.
Before that, prepare enough strategic supplies to hide.
The old woman opposite emphasized again with a beaming smile: "A new variety! I left it specially for you because of you!"
Qiao Xuejun raised an eyebrow: "Give it to me? For free?"
The old woman's face froze.
How could she not want money? Why would she come back without money? These were potatoes bought by her eldest grandson!
The old man next to him tapped the pipe on the coffee table and scolded with a stern face: "You have to buy these potatoes even if you don't want to! They are a loss-making commodity that brings bad luck to your parents. Have you forgotten who raised you?"
According to the system, the old man and woman opposite are the grandparents of this body.
In the original world, Qiao Xuejun had just graduated from six-year undergraduate and master's programs in agriculture and was about to go to work to earn money, but she traveled through time and space into this apocalyptic novel.
Her original name was also Qiao Xuejun. Her parents died in a car accident when she was ten years old. Her mother held her tightly during the accident, so she survived and was raised by Qiao's grandparents.
But the original person was young at that time and had no idea that after his parents died, the compensation plus insurance compensation would still be 1.2 million.
Moreover, they only raised the original body for four years, and the original body went out to work when he was fifteen. Let alone 1.2 million, it is hard to say whether the money spent on Qiao Xuejun is 20,000.
Besides, Qiao Xuejun wasn't taken care of very well during those four years.
The cousin Qiao Yaozu mentioned by the old woman is the only male of this generation in the Qiao family. The two elders of the Qiao family love him very much and want to give him all the good things.
Even the car accident compensation money from Qiao Xuejun's parents was saved for Qiao Yaozu's tuition for studying abroad. However, Qiao Xuejun was sent out to work after completing nine years of compulsory education and was unable to attend high school.
Qiao Xuejun was named by her parents. The character "Xue" means that she was born on a snowy day, and the character "Jun" means monarch, which means that her daughter will be capable and have a good life in the future. I can't imagine if Qiao Xuejun's parents knew that their daughter was treated like this in the Qiao family, they would be so angry that they couldn't close their eyes in the underground.
When Qiao Xuejun was working outside, the Qiao family elders would still ask her for money: "If I hadn't adopted you, would you have lived to this age? It's your responsibility to provide for us in our old age!"
Qiao Xuejun didn't know about the compensation, so for the elderly to have pension money, she would still send money to her grandparents' home. She earns 2,000 yuan a month, and can send 1,200 back home.
I only kept 800 yuan for myself and lived a tight life.
But after many years, Qiao Xuejun had saved some money.
Today, the two elders of the Qiao family called her specially to ask her to come back from another province. Qiao Xuejun thought that they had not seen her for too long and the old people missed her, but who knew that they wanted her to be a scapegoat.
Qiao Yaozu was in the grain business and bought too much grain, and the goods were not fresh, so he had tens of thousands of kilograms left over that he could not sell.
The two elders of the Qiao family knew that Qiao Xuejun had increased her salary and saved money over the years, so they specifically asked her to come back to clean up Qiao Yaozu's mess.
In fact, potatoes are easy to sell. Normally, they are 2 yuan per pound. He can definitely sell them at 1 yuan. But since he can sell them to Qiao Xuejun, who is such a sucker, at the original price, why should he lower the price?
The old woman pressed, "If you can't even help with this little bit, what's the point of our Qiao family raising you up? You don't have to come back in the future." She knew that her granddaughter would pay. When she asked her for living expenses in the past and she couldn't afford it, she would just say a few words like this and she would lend it to her.
The old man also knocked heavily on the coffee table with his pipe and said coldly: "Your cousin was so kind that you let you continue to live in the old house. Now his business is losing money, and you don't help him. Have you got a conscience? You are a woman, and you will have to rely on your brother for support in the future!"
The old man said it without any burden. He had no doubt that Qiao Xuejun would pay. After all, the Qiao family was Qiao Xuejun's only relative now. As a woman, wouldn't she have to rely on them in the future? Qiao Xuejun had no room to say no.
Qiao Xuejun couldn't help it: "I'm thankful that he didn't suck my blood. First of all, the house was originally left to me by my parents, and my name is on the house title. Secondly, how much of this small villa you have now is the 1.2 million that my parents spent?"
The two were shocked, and the old man stared at her in disbelief: "What did you say!"
The two never expected that Qiao Xuejun, who was always submissive, would refuse.
The old woman said quickly, "Xuejun, what are you talking about! Where did the 1.2 million come from? Good things should be kept within the family. Yaozu treated you as his sister and left it to you. It would be fine if you didn't think of your cousin's kindness, but why did you say such things? Take back what you said!"
Qiao Xuejun ignored him, but reached out to pick up the potato on the coffee table and examined it carefully.
The tubers are long and oval, with yellow skin and yellow flesh, few pitting spots, and few and shallow eyes. This variety is Holland 15 potatoes.
