In the future, this gold could buy more than just a few pounds of jelly. She remembered going to a jewelry store in her previous life and seeing a pair of tiny gold earrings cost over a thousand. Moreover, this was a large bracelet, which could be made into dozens of earrings!
The old lady's eyes turned red when she heard this: "Thank you, girl, thank you!"
Zhang Xingrong cut the jelly into pieces for her and wrapped them in two large banana leaves. The old lady then wrapped them in her own cloth and went back happily.
"Oh!" the aunt next to her sighed, "There are so many poor people nowadays!"
Zhang Xingrong really liked this auntie, so she cut off some of the remaining jelly and brought it up to her: "Auntie, thank you for today!"
The aunt was startled and refused, "I didn't do you any favors. It's not easy for you to make these things. Just sell them!"
Zhang Xingrong placed the jelly in front of her and said, "If you hadn't kindly reminded me today, I might have started a fight given my bad temper. Thank you!"
She wanted to take this opportunity to befriend this aunt. This aunt's home was right here, and maybe she could get some good information from her in the future!
The aunt hadn't eaten jelly for a long time and was quite greedy. Seeing Zhang Xingrong pushing it up, she took it and said, "Thank you, little girl!"
"No need!" Zhang Xingrong smiled. "I'll take this somewhere else to see if anyone else wants it!"
Seeing that she was walking smoothly and didn't seem to be clinging to anyone, the aunt stopped her and said, "Hey girl, don't force yourself on those people. There are five or six of them. You're a girl, so you'd better be careful."
Zhang Xingrong knew that the aunt was not open with her and was on guard.
But that's normal. There are all kinds of people here, a mixed crowd. It's a good thing to be careful. She is not in a hurry.
"Thank you, auntie!" Zhang Xingrong said and left.
She planned to move around the black market and familiarize herself with the environment. Although it was a mixed bag, it was also where the most information came from. She hoped to make some money there.
She wanted to be a doctor, but she couldn't do that without some money. After all, money is needed for everything.
But she had only taken a few steps when she was followed.
She originally thought it was Hei Er and the others, but when she turned around she didn't expect to see a little kid.
She turned into an alley and waited for the little kid to follow her, then stopped him. Even after being caught, the kid didn't leave, staring intently at her basket.
"You want to eat?"
The little boy nodded. His clothes were all patched and he looked very thin.
"What do you have to exchange with me?" There is no reason to give things away for free in the black market, and we cannot encourage the trend of giving things away for free. We must have something to exchange, even if it is just a little bit.
After hearing this, the person on the other side took out crumpled bills from his pocket, all of which were in cents.
Zhang Xingrong counted it and found it was exactly one cent.
She sighed and cut some jelly for him. Just like the aunt said, they were all poor people.
The child took the jelly, his eyes sparkling, and finally spoke: "Thank you...sister!"
Zhang Xingrong smiled and watched the child run away. She took the remaining jelly and walked around again, selling the rest to a man for one yuan before closing her stall.
After closing her stall, she took a walk around the black market.
Not long after we left, we ran into Hei Er and the others again.
"Oh, the ugly girl is here! Boss, it's the ugly girl's jelly!" Hei Er stared at her and shouted with some ill intentions.
The people in the store looked up and saw the girl standing next to them.
