Chapter 12: Intercepting the Big Yellow Dog
The next morning, which was the third day of April, was the day of the Huangtan Town market. Early in the morning, Lin Heng was woken up by his wife Chen Xiulan.
"Hubby, we have to get up and go to the market today." Chen Xiulan woke Lin Heng up, although she was still a little uncomfortable with calling him husband.
But since Lin Heng likes it, she is willing to call him that.
"Oh, my waist." Lin Heng wanted to turn over and sit up, but his waist ached and he lay down again.
"I'll rub it on you with safflower oil."
Chen Xiulan took out her treasured safflower oil from the drawer and kneaded it for Lin Heng. It took her a long time before she got up.
"Get up quickly, wash your face and set off. The sun is about to come out." Father Lin Xuan urged. He packed up all the herbs and other things he was going to sell.
"Just the two of us?" Lin Heng glanced at his father and said, "I want to bring Xiulan with me."
He remembered that Xiulan hadn't been to town for a long time.
"Go ahead, I'll take care of the baby." Before Lin Xuan'an could say anything, his mother Lu Hongmei spoke first.
She felt sorry for Xiulan and wanted her to go to the town to have a look.
Father Lin was somewhat reluctant and wanted Xiulan to stay at home and help with the work in the fields.
"Mom, Lin Heng and Dad can go." Although Xiulan wanted to go, she still refused.
At this time, Lin's mother added: "She followed, so that Lin Heng, the second-rate guy, wouldn't run away again."
"Besides, Xiulan hasn't been to the market for a long time, so it would be nice to go once." Mother Lin glared at Father Lin again and said.
Thinking of this, Father Lin nodded and said, "Let's go."
He was also afraid that his second son would take the opportunity to run away and fool around with others.
"Hurry up and change your clothes." Lin Heng didn't give his wife a chance to speak and pushed her into the house to change clothes.
But no one noticed that sister-in-law Liu Juan's face turned a little ugly.
After Lin Heng washed his face, Xiulan changed into a clean set of clothes without patches, and the three of them walked towards the town together.
Fengshu Village is not far from Huangtan Town, only five or six kilometers away, and it takes just over an hour and a half to walk there.
The road was filled with people going to the market carrying all kinds of luggage, some of which were herbs, some were grains, and some were piglets.
The only thing Lin Heng could sell this time was the gray squirrel skin he got the day before yesterday.
There are a lot of things in my daughter-in-law Xiulan’s backpack, all of which are herbs and mushrooms that she picked in the past month.
When they arrived in the town, they first went to the door of Liu's family, which sold medicinal herbs and mountain products. There were a lot of people here, all of them coming to sell mountain products.
"Xiu Lan, take care of these things while we go sell ginseng."
After saying something to Xiulan, Lin Heng took his father into the house and found Liu Qicheng, the boss here.
"Uncle Liu, come here, I have something to tell you."
Liu Qicheng glanced at Lin Heng and asked his wife to take care of the business first. He took Lin Heng and Lin's father to the backyard.
"Are there any good things?" Liu Qichen asked the two of them.
"Yes, I was lucky enough to dig up a 15-year-old wild ginseng on Mount Taibai."
Father Lin smiled shyly and took out the ginseng hidden in his arms. The ginseng plants were still there.
After removing the moss, inside is a very neat and beautiful ginseng, shaped like a little man and full of spiritual energy.
"Uncle Six, this is a good thing, right? How much can you give?"
Lin Heng looked at Liu Qicheng and asked.
Wild ginseng is extremely rare, especially one of this old age. Only one piece may be produced in several years, so it is very precious.
"It's really a good thing. I can give you 400 yuan." Liu Qichen handed a cigarette to Lin Heng and Lin's father and said lightly.
Lin Heng didn't answer. He used to smoke in his previous life, but he quit after his family was broken up.
"Uncle Liu, this is not very kind of you. I just went to the city a few months ago. The purchasing point in the city can give at least 800 yuan for this ginseng."
Lin Heng said with a smile, preparing to bargain with him.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qicheng turned his face away and said coldly: "This is the price here. If you want to sell it, sell it. If not, go somewhere else."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Lin Heng's face changed. He knew that Liu Qicheng was a bit arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant.
This is because he relies on the fact that he is the only purchasing point in Huangtan Town and does whatever he wants and exploits the farmers.
"Dad, let's go to the city to sell it."
Lin Heng looked at his father and said that he had secretly decided in his heart that when he had money, he would definitely open a purchasing point to squeeze him out.
Damn it, you bastard who bullies others by taking advantage of your power.
Father Lin was also a little angry, but he didn't want to go into the city because it was too far away: "Are you sure it can be sold for seven or eight hundred in the city?"
"I'm sure you'll know how deceptive he is once you go to the city."
Lin Heng said.
"And it's much cheaper to buy things in the city. We need to buy a lot of tools to build a house, and they're also very cheap in the city."
Lin Heng said again.
Father Lin thought about it, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then let's go into the city. I'll also see what the city looks like."
The father and son wrapped the ginseng in moss, put it in their arms, and walked out.
Just as they reached the gate, Liu Qicheng came over again, pulled the two of them aside and said with a smile: "It was my bad attitude just now, the price you mentioned was really too outrageous.
I can only sell it for a little over 500 yuan in the city. The one worth 800 yuan must be fake. Someone must be deceiving you.
In this way, I won’t make money from you. I’ll take the 500 yuan. How about that?”
Liu Qicheng is indeed a profiteer, he played this trick very skillfully, Lin's father hesitated on the spot. If Lin Heng had not been reborn, he would have been cheated.
"No need, we're going to take it home to feed the pigs." Lin Heng smiled slightly and took his father away.
Liu Qicheng glanced at Lin Heng and didn't care. He thought they would come back to sell in the end, so he just needed to give them a little more profit.
"I think what Liu Qicheng said is quite right. We can sell it for 500 yuan." Father Lin said hesitantly.
"Go to the city to sell it, don't trust him." Lin Heng was too lazy to explain more and his attitude was very firm.
Father Lin took a look at his son and finally decided to go to the city. Even if it meant walking a little further, it wouldn't be cheaper than here at the very least.
"How is it?" Chen Xiulan asked when she saw Lin Heng and the other man coming back.
"Let's go into the city to sell it. The prices here are too low." Lin Heng said.
"Then I'll go sell these and go back myself." Chen Xiulan nodded.
"No need. You come with us. Since we are going into the city, take everything down and sell it." Lin Heng said. Since they were going into the city anyway, it didn't matter whether they took more or less.
Father Lin did not refuse. After all, he needed someone to fetch his things when he came back: "Then hurry up and go. The sooner you go, the sooner you will be back."
"Then let's go. I'll lead the way. I know a smaller path that's much closer."
Lin Heng nodded and set off with his wife and father. The Huangtan Town market was very lively today, but the three of them were not in the mood to go shopping.
"Didn't you say you were going into the city? Why did you bring us to school?" Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and questioned, not knowing what he was doing.
Chen Xiulan also had a look of doubt on her face.
"Dad, wait for me here for ten minutes. I have something to do." Lin Heng said and ran out.
He had to intercept the spiritual big yellow, without even a second's delay. If he was intercepted by someone else, he would cry.
"He shouldn't be caught. In my previous life, I heard from the old man himself that he picked it up in May of the lunar calendar."
Lin Heng muttered to himself as he walked to the town's school and began looking.
