Pandi is only twelve years old. How could she dare to come to the black market alone?
Li Xiyue was somewhat impressed by the girl's courage and boldness.
Since we've already witnessed it, we can't just stand by and watch her be bullied.
"Ma'am, how could you bully that young man?"
"Who are you calling 'Auntie'?" The woman looked at the man in front of her, who was several years older than her, and cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations.
That damn man, how dare he call her "auntie"? Doesn't he know any manners?
The man Li Xiyue was disguised as had a hoarse voice. He shouted at the top of his lungs, loud and unpleasant, "Of course I'm calling you! What kind of place is this? How dare you cause trouble?"
"Where am I nitpicking? This brat is trying to cheat me out of my money. This tattered basket is just woven from rattan from the mountains, and he actually wanted to sell it to me for two cents. It can't even hold anything before it breaks!" the woman shouted.
Two cents?
Li Xiyue rolled her eyes; she thought it was expensive.
Hsu Pan-ti said, "Even if the materials for weaving baskets are free, you still have to go to the mountains to cut them, then process them, and then weave them. Do you know how to weave?"
Li Xiyue secretly applauded her, saying, "Well said."
"If I knew how to weave, why would I buy yours?" the woman said irritably. "Anyway, I don't care. Give me back the money for the basket and compensate me for the pumpkin."
Xu Pandi retorted, "Why should I pay? You broke the basket and pumpkin yourself. I think you're just trying to extort money from me."
"You little bastard, you're asking for it!" the woman cursed, about to strike.
Li Xiyue stopped her, and at that moment, the black market manager also came over and kicked the woman out.
"You dare cause trouble in the black market? You must have a death wish!" After kicking him out, he beat him up.
The woman gained nothing and even got a beating, so she scrambled away.
Xu Pandi said gratefully, "Uncle, thank you for speaking up for me."
"It's nothing. You're so young to be doing business, just like I was when I was young." Li Xiyue waved her hand roughly and squatted down to look at her basket.
It's well-woven and quite sturdy. As long as the load isn't exceeded, there shouldn't be any problems.
I never knew Pandi had this skill.
“Uncle, let me give you a basket,” Xu Pandi said.
Li Xiyue certainly couldn't accept the basket that the child had worked so hard to weave, so she said, "You worked so hard to weave this, how can you give it to me? I'll buy a few, and you can give me a discount."
"No problem, you can buy three and just give me five cents."
Li Xiyue picked out a fruit basket, a vegetable basket, and a carrying basket, paid, and left.
After leaving the black market, she entered her spatial dimension. Instead of returning to the village, she waited for Xu Pandi in the space.
Xu Pandi's baskets had many patterns and were beautifully woven, so they sold out in no time.
She clutched the one yuan she had earned, wrapped her head in a rag, and braved the heavy snow of the winter night to go home, each step a difficult one.
Li Xiyue followed at a distance, escorting her.
Seeing her child struggling to walk in thin clothes, Li Xiyue felt a pang of sadness.
She thought for a moment, then took some cotton and cloth from the warehouse, along with some money, put them in a bag, and threw it on the road in front of Pandi.
As Pandi walked, she spotted the bag covered in snow. She looked around, but no one was there. After hesitating for a few seconds, she couldn't resist her curiosity and opened the bag. Inside, she found cotton, cloth, and ten yuan.
With so much cotton and cloth, she and her sister could make a cotton-padded coat, and there was also ten yuan, which was the money she could only earn by selling five hundred baskets.
Who dropped it?
