My second uncle's family doesn't even have a house, yet they spent eighty yuan to buy a second-hand bicycle. This is because the mountain roads in Shanguan Village are difficult to travel, and without a vehicle, it would take a whole day to get to the county town, with all that time spent on the road.
With bicycles, people could easily transport the vegetables and fruits from their fields to the county town to earn some money to supplement their household income. It was also convenient to find odd jobs outside. So, although Shanguan Village was poor, many families owned bicycles.

From Shanguan Village, there was still a stretch of mountain road to walk on, and with more than 100 kilograms of goods, the road was not easy to walk on.
Fortunately, the original owner grew up in the countryside, and although she was a bit weak, her physical condition was still quite good. It took Chu Yu about an hour to finally ride to the county town, by which time the sun was already high in the sky.
Chu Yu didn't know where the Chinese medicine purchasing station was in the county, but how could such a small matter be difficult for her, the company's CEO? For matters within the industry, you have to ask people within the industry. If she wanted to know where the Chinese medicine purchasing station was, she only needed to ask someone at the pharmacy.
