Jiang Wanwan no longer had the polite look she had just now. She was doing business, not taking offense.
"When I sell things, it's all about fate. Money and goods are exchanged, and it's a matter of willingness to buy and willingness to sell. If you doubt my stuff is good, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. There's really no need to fight with me."
"Hey, how can you talk like that? How can you sell things like that? Isn't it just a taste of your two snacks? If you can't afford it, don't sell it to me."
Aunt Li lives in the same courtyard and she can't refute what others say about her, but she can't stand it.
Who could come to the black market to sell things? If he could be seen through like this, he might just be a poor farmer from the village.
He is so stingy that he will always look poor.
Jiang Wanwan smiled, "Try two pieces of snacks? That's easy for you to say. Why don't you buy a few snacks for everyone to try? Giving everyone a taste is my duty as a businessman, but it's not a reason for me to be a sucker. You've never bought a penny here, and you only ate four cookies, two small pieces of cake, and two small pieces of chestnut cake. My food is for everyone to taste, but I'm sorry, I really can't fill you up."
Her words immediately amused everyone around her.
Everything is in short supply these days, let alone such precious things. A snack that costs one cent a piece, everyone just rushed to buy two cents, not to mention a handful of small biscuits. In total, everyone got at least three cents worth of food.
This little girl from the Guo family is so good that she even wants someone to give her a whole piece to try. She really came here to satisfy her craving.
"This is from Xiao Guo's. I think it's pretty good. I won't be disappointed if I don't try it."
"That's right. We have Aunt Li's grandson to compare with. If the things are not good, how can they cause these two children to change so quickly?"
"What the girl said is right. If you're worried that something is not good, just buy less. When your child gets home and likes it and enjoys it, you can buy more next time."
Several of them lived in the same family compound and knew each other. They chatted with each other and the woman suddenly felt her face turn red.
She originally thought that no one would notice if she ate a few more cookies and snacks, but now everyone knows that she is taking advantage.
How can she stay in the staff housing compound in the future?
Besides, her mother-in-law gave her one dollar, which was not enough to buy a pound of biscuits. Even if someone was willing to sell it to her, she would be scolded by her mother-in-law for spending one dollar on a small bag of biscuits.
He glared at Jiang Wanwan angrily, then turned and walked away. "I'm not buying it. It tastes just so-so, not even as good as the egg cakes at the supply and marketing cooperative. I don't want to be taken advantage of."
The woman left, and they had bought everything else they wanted to buy. Aunt Li looked at Jiang Wanwan apologetically, "She said she wanted to buy something too. I didn't expect her to be like this."
"Aunt Li, how can I blame you for this? You brought me customers out of kindness. Everyone has different personalities, it's normal, don't take it to heart."
Hearing Jiang Wanwan say this, Aunt Li felt relieved and also felt that Jiang Wanwan had a good temper.
Be generous when you should be generous, and never let others take advantage of you when you cannot suffer a loss.
"My dear, you look so innocent and you don't speak like someone from our area. Where did you come from as an educated youth? Which commune are you in? How old are you? Do you have a partner? Let me tell you..."
"Hey, hey, hey, Aunt Li, what are you doing? Why aren't you going back at this hour? Your two grandchildren must be hungry, right?"
Aunt Xu came over and interrupted Aunt Li. She saw that something seemed to have happened here and wanted to come over. She was delayed by someone who was buying cloth, and as soon as she got here, she heard what Aunt Li said.
Aunt Li's eyes lit up when she saw Aunt Xu, as Aunt Xu was familiar with this girl.
"Hey, I have a nephew who's single. I saw this girl looking so attractive, so I thought..."
"What are you thinking about?" Aunt Xu interrupted her again. "Even if your nephew is desperate to find a partner, you can't just talk about finding a partner with every woman you see on the street, right? How can you put the girl's face? Okay, okay, hurry up. Your grandson is important. We can talk about your nephew later."
Aunt Li now felt that it was a bit abrupt to ask Jiang Wanwan this question. She should have asked Aunt Xu to help sound out the truth.
Then he walked down the stairs. "That's right. I'll go back and feed the kids first. I'll come back to buy you some more milk powder after they finish eating. Please bring more next time. My two money-eating beasts might have eaten it. I saw that bag of milk powder walking down the stairs. If it weren't for the biscuits and snacks, they would have eaten me out of money."
Aunt Xu watched Aunt Li leave, then turned to Jiang Wanwan and said, "I'm not trying to stop your marriage. I've seen Aunt Li's nephew. He's only this tall, not even as big as a woman. He's a fabric saver, and his looks are average. He's in his twenties, but he's just a screwdriver in a workshop. He's no match for you. You're such a beautiful girl, if you want to find a partner, you have to find a guy who's over 1.8 meters tall, has his own house, can make money, and is caring. That's what a woman needs."
Jiang Wanwan also felt something was wrong when she heard what Aunt Li said just now. Even if Aunt Xu didn't come, she would not be able to do anything with her nephew. As a married person, she just revealed her identity and refused.
But it was quite interesting to listen to what Aunt Xu said at this moment. Lu Xiao was only about 1.8 meters tall. Although the house was a bit shabby, he had his own place to live. As for making money and taking care of others, it goes without saying.
It turns out that Aunt Xu is really good at reading faces and is quite accurate in judging people.
When the things were almost sold out, Jiang Wanwan and Aunt Xu went to get some wool. When they arrived at Aunt Xu's son's house, he took the key and opened the door. He also asked Jiang Wanwan to come in and sit for a while, but Jiang Wanwan refused.
It was getting late, and the two people in the black market had been chatting for a long time. There was no point in staying there any longer, especially since this was Aunt Xu's son's home.
Seeing her firm attitude, Aunt Xu asked her to wait in the yard and went into the house to get some wool for her.
It was still the same color as before, not a bit different. Jiang Wanwan gave the money to Aunt Xu, who then asked her in a low voice, "Do you want any knitwear?"
In those days, if Dacron was a luxury item, then knitwear was even more precious. To what extent was it precious? You couldn't use cloth coupons to buy knitwear, but there were separate knitwear coupons, and these coupons were only available to people who ate commodity grain.
It is more difficult to get than cloth coupons.
There were some knitwear tickets among the tickets the Jiang family sent her, but these tickets were distributed in fixed quantities, and the ones the Jiang family sent her were only enough to buy one set. It would be great if Aunt Xu could get them.
"Well, Aunt Xu, you are really amazing."
Jiang Wanwan was never stingy with compliments. Aunt Xu smiled and waved her hand, "It's not that I'm good, it's my son who's better than me. If he can get it, then fine. I'll talk to him and ask him to get it for you."
"Then thank you Aunt Xu and Brother Chen first."
Jiang Wanwan first thanked her, then took a few cakes for Aunt Xu to try, and then left the family compound.
After Jiang Wanwan left the house, the curtain to the inner room was opened and a man walked out...
