Chapter 40 The Master of Flipping Pots

Ruan Fu had just arrived at the entrance of the village by bike when she realized that many people were waiting to sell mulberry leaves today.

As soon as she put up the sign for buying mulberry leaves, an old lady came over.

"Fu girl, what is the price of mulberry leaves here?"

Ruan Fu smiled, "It's still the same price as before, five cents a pound."

The other party frowned when she heard it, "It was clearly six cents yesterday."

"That's someone else, I've always charged this price here," Ruan Fu didn't get annoyed, and said patiently, "Buying and selling is a voluntary thing. If you want to look at other shops, that's fine."

Where else could there be other shops? Ruan Lanxiang had clearly said that she would not buy mulberry leaves from now on.

Five cents a pound, which is indeed one cent less than the purchase price yesterday, but it is better than letting the mulberry leaves rot in her hands.

The aunt gritted her teeth and sold it without saying a word.

There are obviously more people coming to Ruan Fu to sell mulberry leaves today, and more than half of them were bought in a short time.

Mrs. Hu heard the news at home and wanted to come, but when she thought of the quarrel yesterday, she felt embarrassed.

After thinking about it, face is nothing, money is the most important, so she took the opportunity to come when there were fewer people.

"Miss Ruan, I have mulberry leaves here too, you can take them."

Ruan Fu glanced at her, her expression was a little cold compared to her enthusiasm for doing business just now.

"Ms. Hu, I have old customers here, I can't take more, otherwise you should find another way."

She refused with a few words.

Seeing that the mulberry leaves of the people around her had been sold, Aunt Hu finally got a little anxious.

"Why do you accept theirs but not mine?"

Ruan Fu gave her a cold look, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Aunt Hu suddenly realized that she had said those things yesterday, and this little girl was holding a grudge.

She wanted to persuade her again, but seeing Ruan Fu's cold attitude, she was afraid that she would not pay attention to her even if she knelt down and kowtowed.

Forget it, Aunt Hu turned around in despair and was about to leave.

"Aunt Hu, if you really want to sell it, then I can also buy it, but there are conditions."

Ruan Fu behind her suddenly spoke.

Aunt Hu turned around immediately, her expression surprised, "What conditions? Just tell me, girl Fu, I will help you no matter what it takes!"

Ruan Fu sneered, "But it's not that exaggerated. I just want to know where did the money from the aunt to collect mulberry leaves come from?"

"How would I know?" Aunt Hu didn't expect her to ask this directly. She rolled her eyes and said with a guilty tone, "I guess she asked her mother for it. You also know that the money of the Ruan family is in the hands of the old lady."

Ruan Fu knew that the other party was not telling the truth as soon as she heard it, and her face immediately frowned, "Forget it, since you don't tell the truth, then we have nothing to talk about."

"I'll tell you what I'm talking about," Aunt Hu said quickly, not expecting this girl to be so hard to fool. "It's Zhiguo's tuition. Your aunt went to the city and put it in the old lady's hands first, and she embezzled it first."

No wonder, Ruan Fu understood immediately, and said that how could Old Lady Ruan take out so much money at once? After all, she even took out her grandson's savings.

She is not a saint who forgives others when she can. Since Ruan Lanxiang has repeatedly tried to make things difficult for her, they should now bear the consequences.

Thinking of this, she said nonchalantly: "Sister Hu, I've collected your mulberry leaves. You said my aunt went to the county town a few days ago. You two are old sisters. Give her a call."

Sister Hu immediately responded and said repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go get it now!"

Ruan Lanxiang collected mulberry leaves at a high price in the village yesterday, leading the whole village to get rich together, and exchanged for a good reputation.

Today's Ruan family is very lively.

From time to time, someone came into the yard and said a few flattering words. Old Mrs. Ruan was flattered and felt comfortable.

She was immersed in the dream of getting rich all day.

The daughter is so smart, she must earn no less than that dead girl Ruan Fu. In a few days, her family will be able to buy a bicycle.

"Second son's wife, make some steamed meat cakes for lunch today! Lanxiang is tired outside, let's give her a snack."

Sun Hongxia was busy in the kitchen, and she responded hastily, feeling miserable.

Cooking is a hard job, and you have to take care of the stove fire not going out and the pot not being burnt. She thought it would be fine, but the firewood was wet, the fire was not lit, and the whole house was filled with smoke, which made her cry.

In the past, these hard jobs were all done by that little bitch Ruan Fu, and she would never do them.

Especially since the incident with Hong Xing, Mrs. Ruan's temper became more and more shrewd. She always complained that the food was too salty or bland, and would beat her if she was not satisfied. She also kept a close eye on her and did not allow her to go out to deliver letters.

But Hong Xing also disliked this job because it was tiring and dirty, so she hid in the house and refused to come out, leaving her alone to work.

Meanwhile, Ruan Lanxiang had already run all the way to the door of her house. Before entering the house, she scratched her face with her nails and ruffled her hair.

Seeing that she was almost done, she walked in with a sullen look.

Old Mrs. Ruan was thinking about her money and had been looking forward to her coming back. Seeing this, she was very happy and hurried over.

"My daughter is back. You must be tired today. Show me the money you earned and make me happy."

Ruan Lanxiang pursed her lips. She couldn't hide this matter anyway, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, all the money is gone."

"What did you say? What's gone?" Old Mrs. Ruan didn't react for a moment and stood there in a daze.

That was twenty yuan, the family's annual income! How could it just disappear like that?

"What's going on, girl, are you kidding me? Didn't you say this was a sure thing? Why did it suddenly fail? Besides, even if the money is gone, where are the mulberry leaves you brought?"

Ruan Lanxiang had always been coquettish and had never been questioned so harshly, so she burst into tears.

She did want to bring the mulberry leaves back, but the tractor suddenly raised the price, saying that if she wanted to haul these things back to the village, she would have to pay more.

All the money was used to collect the mulberry leaves, so how could she come up with any more money?

No matter how reluctant Ruan Lanxiang was, she could only throw the mulberry leaves into the trash can in the county town while crying, and then she returned on a tractor.

But she didn't dare to tell these things to Old Lady Ruan, otherwise the old lady would be so angry that she would die on the spot.

"What's going on? Don't just cry, you want to make me anxious to death!" Old Lady Ruan was also anxious.

Her daughter was like a mute, she didn't say a word, she just cried and shed tears.

Ruan Lanxiang pretended to cry, but her mind was actually working fast.

This won't work. She had to find a reason to quickly throw the responsibility to someone else! She made up her mind and spoke with sobs.

"Mom, to tell you the truth, I have sold all the mulberry leaves and made a lot of money."

When Old Lady Ruan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was right. The daughter was really capable, no worse than that little bitch.

"That's good, in that case, where's the money?"
