Chapter 25: The Young Daughter-in-law of the Yang Family
"It's okay, it's okay, Auntie. What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Wanwan was helped up, rubbed her hurt shoulder, and looked at the anxious-looking old lady.
"Little girl, I was wrong just now. I wasn't paying attention to the road I was walking on."
"As an apology, I'll tell you something: someone's selling brown sugar in the alley ahead, no tickets needed!"
"My daughter-in-law just gave birth, and you can't buy brown sugar at the supply and marketing cooperative without a ticket, so I plan to go there to buy some."
"Girls, why don't you go buy some too? It's not easy to come across good things that don't require a ticket."
The old lady looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them anymore, so she shared her news with Lin Wanwan mysteriously.
"brown sugar?"
"Where can I buy it?"
Lin Wanwan knew the brown sugar, and her room still had some brown sugar given by Cai Guifen.
She said she was too thin and that drinking a bowl of brown sugar water with hot water every morning would help her body.
Cai Huifen also told her not to tell Liu Huazhen and Wang Baomei about this matter.
After all, the old man didn’t have much, and they were all sent by his two daughters during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.
She herself was reluctant to drink it, and only gave some to Lin Wanwan because she saw that she was too thin.
"It's in the alley ahead. Come on, I'll take you there!"
The old lady grabbed Lin Wanwan's hand and walked forward, while Lin Wanwan grabbed Yang Daya and pulled her along.
"Aunt San, do you have any money on you?"
Yang Daya didn't doubt that the lady was a human trafficker. After all, human traffickers don't look like that, and she was dressed neatly and was obviously a worker in the city.
What's more, she knew the alley ahead, so she could seek help in time if there was any problem.
"Yes, your third uncle gave me all his private money for safekeeping!"
Lin Wanwan nodded affirmatively, and the three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the alley.
"Daya, wait here. If I don't come out in 10 minutes, go find your grandma and your mother."
Although 3628 did not issue a danger warning, Lin Wanwan still left Yang Daya at the intersection based on the principle of caution first.
There are quite a few people setting up stalls opposite, so this place is still very safe.
"Third Aunt, please go quickly. I'll wait for you here."
After listening to Lin Wanwan's instructions, Yang Daya looked around, saw a stone, and sat down there obediently.
The old lady just glanced at Yang Daya and didn't care.
"Girl, let me tell you, it was still early when I received the news. They said those people had just arrived. We should be able to buy it if we come in now."
"Brown sugar is useful for both socializing and nourishing the family. If you have money, you can buy some and stock up."
Perhaps out of guilt for bumping into Lin Wanwan, the old lady couldn't help but share some life experiences with her.
Lin Wanwan nodded continuously, agreeing deeply with what the old lady said.
Brown sugar is a good thing, she needs to buy more.
Prepare some in the space, and then give some to my mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law.
We also have to give some to Yang Daya, so at least three or four kilograms are needed.
There weren't many people around when they came in, and people were staring at them from a distance. Only when they saw that the two women were dressed differently from the patrol team did they look away from them.
The old lady dragged Lin Wanwan to the front of the stall. This place was very secluded and had convenient transportation.
Even though we were in an alley, it wasn't easy to catch him.
"Hey young man, do you have any more brown sugar?"
As soon as the old lady came forward, she went straight for the brown sugar.
It seems that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson for her.
Lin Wanwan knew that the old ladies in this world especially loved their eldest grandchildren.
Once the daughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest grandson, not only did her attitude become much better, but she also bought her some supplements to nourish her body.
Ever since hearing the gossip about 3628, Lin Wanwan felt very fortunate that her mother-in-law did not favor boys over girls.
Looking at Daya and Xiaodong at home, their treatment is almost the same.
"We have everything. How many do you want, ma'am?"
The young man looked smart. When he saw the lady coming up and asked, he knew that this must be a referral from a regular customer.
"Give me two pounds, divided into four half-pound bags!"
If it is just for the daughter-in-law to use during her confinement period, the aunt may not buy so much. One and a half kilograms will be enough.
But we also have to consider the subsequent interpersonal interactions, and giving out brown sugar is undoubtedly both face-saving and substantial.
"Okay, Auntie, please wait a moment..."
The young man was quick and efficient, and quickly weighed out four half-pound bags of brown sugar for the old lady.
When Lin Wanwan saw what the old lady did, her eyes immediately lit up.
Originally she was thinking of buying three or four pounds to share at home, but it turns out she could just divide it up and buy it.
After some calculation in my mind, I kept half a pound for myself, gave half a pound to my mother-in-law, and gave half a pound to each of my two sisters-in-law.
That's two kilograms.
Then buy another kilogram, and there will be three kilograms in the space.
After the old lady finished her shopping, Lin Wanwan immediately stepped forward and stated her request.
"Brother, weigh three pounds and divide it into six half-pound bags!"
The young man was not surprised by such requests. After all, brown sugar was a must-have gift for guests.
People who are particular about their taste will bring some brown sugar as a gift when they visit someone.
No one would give a pound of brown sugar as a gift; that would be too generous.
It is normal to give half a catty or two or three taels.
"Please take your three pounds of brown sugar."
Lin Wanwan's hand felt heavy, and there were three pounds of brown sugar in it. After she handed the money to the other party, she wanted to go out with the old lady.
But with a quick glance, he noticed that there was something else at the young man's feet besides the bag of brown sugar.
"Brother, what are you selling?"
Lin Wanwan stopped curiously and looked at the other bags.
"There are dried red dates, dried longans, lotus root starch, glutinous rice flour..."
The young man exploded five or six things in one breath, and Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard it.
He immediately weighed some red dates and longans, and less lotus root powder. After thinking about it, he weighed two pounds of glutinous rice flour.
I heard from the system that glutinous rice balls are a very delicious food.
This thing is made of glutinous rice flour, and adding a little brown sugar makes it taste even better.
Lin Wanwan had never eaten it, so she couldn't imagine what it tasted like.
So she weighed some and planned to ask her sister-in-law to make her a meal when she got home.
"Auntie, thank you so much for today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy so many good things!"
When they reached the intersection, Lin Wanwan thanked the old lady and they parted ways.
Then he greeted Yang Daya who came over and gave her some of the things in his hands. The two of them planned to go and meet Cai Guifen and others.
"Aunt San, what did you buy?"
Yang Daya was holding a small bag, as white as flour.
Lin Wanwan took a look and told her what she had bought.
Except for the half pound of brown sugar that was secretly stuffed into the space, everything else was laid out in the open.
