Chapter 148

"Mom, I didn't change it today. Don't worry, I'll go change it later."

"Well, this thing is worthless now. Forget about not being able to exchange it. We still have some food at home. If we cook the porridge thinner, it can last for two days. But my grandson's wife will cry. She is in confinement after giving birth and has no eggs to eat."

"It's okay, grandma, mom, I'm fine, just eat some porridge."

Zhang Lin: ...

This is a family compound of a certain unit. How could this family live such a miserable life?

Why!

This era of food and clothing shortages is truly difficult to endure.

This family has quite a few people, including a sick elderly person and someone who is in confinement after childbirth, and they all really need nutrition.

No wonder this auntie wanted to exchange it for ten kilograms of eggs as soon as she opened her mouth.

She probably knew it was impossible, she just wanted to bargain and leave some room for maneuver.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so ruthless and directly bargained down to five eggs!

Such a precious set of jewelry, five eggs!

She would rather starve to death than give it away.

but……

Fang Yue looked at the old and young in the house and sighed.

One is her husband's biological mother, and the other is her biological daughter-in-law. She can't ignore either of them...

If it really doesn't work, replace them one by one, and bring some of the things back first.

It's just a pity that this set of jewelry that was passed down from her husband's family was wasted.

Her mother-in-law kept it for several decades and passed it to her after she gave birth to a child.

She was attracted at first sight.

It is so beautiful!

pity……

Zhang Lin quietly left the tube building, removed the invisibility charm, used a disguise charm, and changed into the appearance of a middle-aged woman when she first changed her watch. She held a large basket in her hand and quietly waited in the alley next to her family's courtyard.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Fang Yue came out again.

She was still carrying a vegetable basket and holding the small cloth bag in her arms, with a look of trepidation on her face.

She walked towards the alley where Zhang Lin was hiding out of habit.

This alley is usually not visited by people who come here secretly to buy things or exchange supplies. They will do their business here.

There was no one here when she came out before, so she went to another alley to try her luck.

After entering the alley, I saw Zhang Lin squatting in the corner from a distance, with a large basket covered with cloth in front of him.

Fang Yue's eyes lit up. After observing for a while, she walked up and said in a low voice, "Big sister, are you waiting for someone?"

Zhang Lin raised her eyes and revealed a look of annoyance: "Sister, I came here to look for my mother's relatives, but I didn't find this person. I have to take the things I brought for her back, ah."

Fang Yue understood.

She understands!

She is also waiting for relatives to send gifts!

"Hey, I'm also waiting for a relative. He said he would help me change some things, but he still hasn't come after two days of waiting..."

Zhang Lin was amazed.

Nowadays, everyone is an Oscar-winning actor or actress. Look at Aunt Fang Yue, her acting is so realistic.

If I hadn't figured out Fang Yue's situation long ago, and if she was really a young and inexperienced person, she might have been stunned.

"That's great, let's pay it back!"

After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Lin didn't want to waste any more time, and didn't care whether his acting skills were up to par, so he acted rather perfunctorily.

Fang Yue smiled secretly.

This girl has no patience at all. She is not suitable to come out to exchange things because she can be easily fooled.

The two of them talked back and forth, and Fang Yue took out the thing and showed it to Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin sighed inwardly.

Just now, this lady had a sympathetic expression on her face, as if she was being deceived.

Don't you realize that you are the one who is really good at deceiving?

Fortunately, she is not a bad person.

Zhang Lin had her eyes on that set of jewellery in the first place, and Fang Yue was such an honest and kind person. The family, with an old and a young child, was in such a difficult situation, but the whole family was so harmonious, which made her feel a little sympathetic towards this kind family.

Zhang Lin lifted one edge of the cloth, allowing Fang Yue to see what was inside.

After Fang Yue saw it clearly, her heart started pounding.

"This……"

sky!

What did she see?

There was actually a living old hen with its mouth and wings tied up.

There were also some eggs, a large piece of pork, and a bone!

It's all she needs!

"Sister...sister..."

Fang Yue's lips were trembling. She looked at Zhang Lin and couldn't speak for a long time.

She was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to exchange this set of jewelry for these things.

"Sister, I really like this set of jewelry. It just so happens that a relative of mine is going to get married soon, and I want to buy something for the new wife, and this set caught my eye at first sight."

Fang Yue felt more at ease after hearing this.

No matter what, this girl doesn't look like someone who would give up five eggs in exchange for her family heirloom.

"So, sister, how are you going to change?"

Fang Yue looked at Zhang Lin nervously.

"All of this, plus this set of jewelry, the pair of pearl earrings and the silver bracelet that were in your bag at home."

Zhang Lin only wanted that set of jewelry, but she took out too many things. If she generously returned them, Fang Yue might still feel uneasy.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Lin ask her to pack up all the things in her bag, Fang Yue was not surprised at all. She even felt that what she had was far from enough.

No matter where she is, she can't exchange so many things these days.

"Big sister, you are telling the truth"

Fang Yue confirmed carefully.

Zhang Lin shook his head secretly. She was indeed too honest. If it were someone else, they would definitely be afraid that she would regret it and would drop the things, grab the basket and run away.

"Really, each one takes what he needs. I still have these things."

"You still have!"

Fang Yue hesitated.

How can she keep in touch with this older girl?

These days, no one wants to reveal their secrets to others.

Besides, she doesn't have many good things left at home. Even if she changes it, she can't change it twice...

"Yes, I come out once a month. If Big Sister wants to change things in the future, maybe we can meet again."

…

After Fang Yue brought the things back home, the two women, one old and one young, looked at the sack in shock.

Yes, Fang Yue carried a large bag with her, and Zhang Lin did not give her the basket.

Fang Yue took out an old hen weighing at least four or five pounds from the bag with shaking hands.

The old lady's lips trembled, and finally she stammered a few times without saying a word.

Then Fang Yue took out a bag of eggs, thirty in total.

There was also a large piece of pork, which was of very good quality and weighed at least two kilograms.

There is also a big pork bone, which can be used to make a big pot of soup, the kind that smells delicious.

The whole family cried with joy.

They all felt they had made a fortune.

Zhang Lin, who has already left, also feels that he has made a fortune.

However, Fang Yue's family really needs food more now, otherwise it is hard to say whether the whole family can survive.

As for jewelry...

In her previous life, her sister had been in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend for eight years, and just as they were discussing getting married, she traveled through time.

She still owes her sister a wedding present.

It would be great if this set of jewelry could be given to her sister.

Zhang Lin couldn't help but think of what happened when they were kids.

At first, the two of them loved to use the stems of sweet potato leaves to make necklaces and earrings, and they had a lot of fun.
