Chapter 3 Being threatened: Jiang Tang is not worthy of Qin Xiao!

Aunt Gui Mei enthusiastically showed Jiang Tang the way and told her which store and stall had cheaper prices and which stall was shortchanging her before she parted ways with Jiang Tang and the others.

Jiang Tang held Qin Chuyang's hand tightly and went into the city, and went to the rice shop first.

The rice and grain shop sells all kinds of fine rice, strong flour, as well as millet, coarse grain and cornmeal.

Jiang Tang pointed at the fine rice and asked, "Boss, how much is the fine rice?"

The shop owner saw that Jiang Tang was wearing a long floral dress and had a fair and tender face, and concluded that she was living a good life, so he became a little more patient.

"Comrade, pick this one, 28 cents a pound."

Jiang Tang frowned, still hesitating. At 28 cents per pound, if she bought 5 pounds, that would be 1.4 yuan, leaving her with 3.8 yuan. She also had to buy pork fat, and spend 20 cents on the bus back home.

...I’m so poor and can’t afford it.

Jiang Tang glanced at the second-rate rice next to him and asked, "How much is this rice?"

Boss, "This is not bad, 1.8 yuan per pound."

Jiang Tang did some calculation in his mind.

Someone pulled my hand down.

Jiang Tang lowered her head and saw the young man staring at her accusingly, "If you don't have money, don't buy this."

Qin Chuyang was very impatient. His bad sister-in-law was too good at spending money. She would occasionally buy him this rice pot. It was very expensive, and the pot was almost as good as rice porridge. His bad sister-in-law might as well buy rice porridge!

Jiang Tang couldn't help laughing. It was rare that the young boy knew how expensive rice was.

"Boss, give me five pounds."

She had already decided to buy it. Coarse grains and cornmeal were fine for occasional consumption, but she was not used to eating them as a staple food.

The boss weighed the goods for Jiang Tang and put them in a backpack for her. Jiang Tang paid the money and then left with Qin Chuyang, who looked very resistant.

Next we went to the vegetable market. It was 1982 now and people were already able to run some small private businesses. Most of the people in the vegetable market were farmers who came from the villages early in the morning to set up stalls.

Jiang Tang took Qin Chuyang past the rows of stalls in the vegetable market and went to the pork stall first. Standing in front of the pork stall was a fat boss.

According to what Aunt Gui Mei said, Jiang Tang stepped forward and pointed at a piece of snow-white fat meat, "Boss, how much is the fat meat?"

If it were in the present world, she would not even look at it, she was too disgusted. But now it is not possible, she must buy some fatty meat to make oil.

The boss glanced at her and said briskly, "Fat meat is 78 cents a pound, how much do you want?"

Jiang Tang calculated that she only needed to buy five pounds, and she would have no money to buy anything else. She could only look at the lard next to the fat, "What about this?"

Boss: "Pork fat is 0.52 yuan."

Jiang Tang calculated in his mind and hesitated, "Boss, how many pounds of lard can be made from five pounds of pork fat? Is it enough for two people to eat for a few days?"

The boss looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with some curiosity. It turned out that she was a lazy and unemployed person. He was also patient: "Five pounds of pork fat can make three pounds of lard."

He glanced at Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang beside her, and said, "If you save some, it will be enough for you two to eat for more than a month."

Nowadays, not every household eats fried meat for every meal. There are many people who eat only one vegetarian dish for the whole day.

Jiang Tang didn't hesitate any longer, "Okay, please help me cut five pounds of pork fat."

The boss rarely heard of someone buying five pounds of pork fat, but seeing Jiang Tang's incompetent look, he grinned but didn't say anything, and quickly weighed five pounds of pork fat for the man, not a bit more or less.

Jiang Tang looked at the lean meat in the stall again, "Boss, how much is the pure lean meat?"

Boss: “69 cents.”

It’s actually cheaper than fatty meat.

Jiang Tang gritted his teeth and stretched out a delicate jade finger, "Boss, please help me cut another pound of lean meat."

The boss's knife skills were like a god. With a casual cut, the piece of meat was exactly one pound, not more, not less.

Jiang Tang gave the money reluctantly and put the pork fat and lean meat into the backpack.

Then he took Qin Chuyang to the vegetable market again.

At the vegetable market, Jiang Tang could only buy the cheapest ones.

A piece of tofu cost ten cents, and bean sprouts cost seven cents, and they were all put into the backpack.

Jiang Tang was strolling when Qin Chuyang suddenly pulled her hand. She lowered her head and looked at the kid.

Jiang Tang looked over to see who Qin Chuyang was pointing at with his little black hand.

It was Auntie Tian who came to bring them food in the morning.

The other person was sitting in front of a stall in the corner. In front of her were piles of green vegetables, green beans, and farm cucumbers of good quality.

Jiang Tang was pulled over by Qin Chuyang and stood in front of the stall.

She greeted him awkwardly, "Auntie, are you in the city selling vegetables?"

She was just making small talk, so Auntie Tian took over her conversation and said with a smile, "That's right, it doesn't make much money, but it's also a source of income, and it's better to have it than not."

Jiang Tang could only nod in agreement, tapping his toes on the ground in embarrassment.

Auntie Tian looked at her holding Qin Chuyang, and the smile on her face became more loving. "Bring Chuyang to the county town to play?"

Jiang Tang said quickly, "Well, I came to buy some vegetables and planned to cook for myself."

Auntie Tian looked at her disapprovingly and said, "What's so good about buying vegetables? These are bought by people in the city. I have some at home. You can go directly to my house and pick some from the fields later."

Jiang Tang did not refuse, and looked down at the fresh vegetables, "Auntie, how much do you sell these vegetables for?"

Auntie Tian counted them for her one by one, "Cucumber and green vegetables are 3 cents, and green beans are 5 cents."

Jiang Tang nodded and noticed that not many of the dishes in front of his aunt had been sold yet. He suddenly thought that the other party must have delivered meals to them in the morning, so he came late and the position was not very good.

Jiang Tang pursed her lips and said, "Auntie, give me some green vegetables and green beans."

Seeing that Auntie was still trying to persuade her, Jiang Tang quickly said, "Auntie, I plan to cook for myself from now on. You don't have to bring us meals every day. We are in need of them right now."

When she said this, Auntie Tian weighed it for her neatly and said with relief, "I won't say much more. I've already said it before. If you can live a good life, that's better than anything else."

Jiang Tang took the vegetables with a wry smile and gave the money. Then he held Qin Chuyang's hand, said hello to Aunt Tian, ​​and left.

Jiang Tang's waist and legs ached from walking around, and the basket on his back became heavier and heavier. He exhaled heavily, and only 3.7 yuan was left in his hand.

It was unrealistic to go back and make lunch. She looked down at the little wolf cub and pulled Qin Chuyang to the steamed bun shop opposite the state-owned hotel.

He spent 0.16 yuan to buy two steamed buns before taking Qin Chuyang to the intersection of the county town.

She did not notice the person sitting at the window table in the state-owned hotel opposite. A pretty woman with a pigtailed hair was looking at her from behind. She was wearing a floral dress of a similar style to the one Jiang Tang was wearing.

"Cui Cui, what are you looking at?"

Chen Qian followed Jiang Cui's gaze and looked over there, only seeing the flow of people and backs on the street, feeling a little confused.

Jiang Cui shook her head, tugged at the target's arm and said coquettishly, "It's okay."

His eyes were secretly staring at Jiang Tang's back, speculating in his heart.

Is Jiang Tang really planning to live with Qin Xiao? He even brought Qin Chuyang to the city. Looking at that weird figure, is he not planning to run away?

Thinking of that tall, cold and unapproachable man, Jiang Cui gritted her teeth and felt very unhappy.

Qin Xiao couldn't be bewitched by Jiang Tang's vixen look, right? Before he kicked her out of the house, Jiang Cui gritted her teeth as she stared at Jiang Tang's fair and delicate skin.

Isn't it just that she is lucky to be raised as a rich lady for nearly twenty years, but she still looks like a fool. If she had been adopted back then, she would have been more outstanding and beautiful than Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang has lived a good life for so many years, but now he still wants to cling to Qin Xiao.

You wish!

Qin Xiao is not worthy of me, and neither is Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang brought Qin Chuyang to the intersection. The car was almost full. Everyone had bags of all sizes, and it was even more crowded than when they came.

Jiang Tang gritted her teeth and loaded the things into the car, then carried Qin Chuyang in, and finally squeezed into the car herself, hugging Qin Chuyang tightly. This time she had learned her lesson, and she held the armrest of the car tightly with one hand, buried her head, and waited quietly for departure.

Qin Chuyang lay in the arms of his bad sister-in-law, looking at her with his big eyes as if he was very scared.

He glared at his bad sister-in-law, pulled the corner of her clothes with his little hand, and grabbed the guardrail of the tractor with the other hand.

After a bumpy ride, we finally stopped at the entrance of the village.

Jiang Tang carried Qin Chuyang out of the car, gave the driver two cents, put on the backpack, and led Qin Chuyang back home.

Putting the backpack on the ground, Jiang Tang didn't care about the dirt anymore and sat down on the small stool, unwilling to move at all.

Then he looked at the little kid in front of him with droopy eyelids and said lazily, "I won't cook lunch. There are buns in the backpack. You can have one and I can have one. Take it yourself if you are hungry."

After she finished speaking, Qin Chuyang stared at her with his mouth wide open in shock. He didn't expect that she would share half of the things she bought with him.

Jiang Tang helplessly put her hand on the backpack. There were two buns on the top layer. She picked it up, took out a bun and handed it to the little black boy.

The other party just stood there in a daze and didn't take it.

Qin Chuyang stared at her blankly for a while, then ran out of the bedroom with his short legs and ran into his own room.

Jiang Tang raised her eyelids and saw that he didn't run around. She was too lazy to care about him, so she put the buns back into the basket and closed her eyes to rest.

After a while, a small cannonball rushed over and handed the thing in his hand to Jiang Tang.

The voice was still vicious, "Here, find half of it!"

Jiang Tang lazily opened his eyes and was stunned when he saw the five yuan and forty cents in the boy's hand.

Jiang Tang was surprised, "Chuyang, why did you give me money?"

Qin Chuyang snorted, "I saw you take one bill and you have two bills. You have used them all up. I'll give them to you and you return half to me."

So the guy didn't know how much money she spent, and he didn't know how to count. He just looked at the color of the bills she took and gave them to her intact, and then asked her to return half, half each.

Jiang Tang laughed, this was a clear calculation.

The boy's serious demeanor made her want to tease him, so she gave Qin Chuyang 40 cents and said with a smile, "Okay, Chuyang, I'll give you half of it."

The young man protested with a frown on his face, "No!"

Jiang Tang looked confused, "What's wrong? Then Chuyang, tell me how much money I should give you, okay?"

Qin Chuyang held the four cents in his hand, counting on his little finger for a long time, and then he twisted his head in confusion, repeating over and over again, "It's wrong."

Jiang Tang finally laughed out loud. If the boy had a primary school diploma, he wouldn't have been fooled.

It's a pity for the lack of education.

Jiang Tang rubbed his head regardless of the boy's objection, looked at him innocently, and spread his hands, "That can't be helped, Chuyang, I'm not very good at math, this is all I can give you."

Qin Chuyang stared at the bad sister-in-law in front of him with his dark eyes. The bad sister-in-law helped him change his clothes, took him to the city, and gave him buns to eat. He thought the bad sister-in-law had really become a better person.

Humph, no, the bad sister-in-law is still very bad.

"When Guoguo comes back, I will tell him that you lied! You are bad."

This brat always uses his brother to threaten herself. But she is really afraid of Qin Xiao.

Thinking of Qin Xiao, that dangerous man, Jiang Tang stopped laughing and sighed deeply.

Looking at Qin Chuyang, the boy is not injured, let alone dead. Jiang Tang is a little worried. He should not retaliate against her for no reason.
