Chapter 1020: Is the Living Expense Enough

~8 min read 1,498 words

Qin Yun instantly collapsed his face.

He Kuang was the one who knew how to live, and now he got the point: "So radishes and cabbages are only 5 yuan a jin? Then I'll have 100 jin of each too!"

He laughed: "If it were really dozens of yuan a jin, I would be reluctant to give it away—5 yuan is fine, 5 yuan is fine to give away."

Qin Yun's eyes also lit up: "That makes sense! I want that much too!"

Song Tan looked at Lu Chuan, clearly remembering that he wanted to buy some to take back to give to others, but saw him look over, and then smiled:

"Right, I want 100 jin too."

Song Tan nodded: "Okay."

Qin Yun listened to this conversation, then looked at the two of them, always feeling that something was strange...

"You guys seem to be talking about a very new kind of chat." He Kuang summarized.

Lu Chuan looked calm: "Is your living expense for this month enough to buy vegetables?"

And Qin Yun listened to them whispering, thinking that although Song Tan and He Kuang looked ordinary, their brains were also ordinary!

Indeed.

Living a hundred times more carefree than them, hey!

A week...

While talking, they had already crossed the winding field ridges and arrived at Grandma Wang's vegetable plot.

The nephew nodded, took a fruit knife and enthusiastically divided the radishes into pieces, handing them to them one by one: "The vegetable plot here is well served, the taste is even better than before."

Lu Chuan:...

Under her hands, these green radishes seemed as if they hadn't taken root, and could be lifted with a casual pull, and soon piled up into a pile, which she pulled by the radish leaves and directly brought to Lu Chuan.

Hiss! Actually there is

She thought for a moment, then stood up: "He can sit over there and tidy up the leaves; I'll pull them—"

"No, no, no! It's fine, it's fine! There's no need to collect money for this! Give it to your friend!" In Uncle Wu's eyes, there was only the sky-high price of three yuan per radish that Qin Yun had negotiated; how could he possibly be embarrassed to take money at a time like this?

Lu Chuan:...

Smile.

Lu Chuan was sitting on a plastic crate, meeting He Kuang's gaze at this moment, tilting his head slightly, and then—

Although the customers' repeat purchase rate was very gratifying after taking them back, but... one could save a dime where one could!

At this moment, she led them toward the field: "Radishes are 5.5 yuan a jin, radish leaves are two yuan a jin, and cabbage is seven yuan a jin—if you plan to stay and play for a few more days, I'll have Uncle Wu leave a portion in the ground and tidy them up when you're ready to leave."

Song Tan, who was huffing and puffing while pulling radishes, raised her head: "Huh? Why is that! I can cut radish leaves too!"

Pure and innocent. He was just being obedient; what could he possibly have done wrong?

He Kuang:... Ouch, ouch! It poked me!

Fine, fine, fine! The two who came to sponge off a meal had no say; when it comes down to it, this is a world that judges by appearances!

Sigh, to think that apart from selling copyrights, you can earn one or two million a year writing books, and yet look at the life you're living now!

The two of them went back and forth, Uncle Wu's eyes were shockingly bright, and he couldn't stop grinning when he heard about the price increase!

Looking at the single dog beside him now, malice began to well up. But thinking of how the other party was all alone, living a life that was... that was...

He felt a bit restless.

"Same price!"

However, Lu Chuan couldn't sit for very long either.

The two of them reminisced about the meal at noon, and at this moment, they also began to look forward to the next three and a half days.

"Is that so?" Qin Yun became interested, stuffing a radish into her mouth at this moment, and then nodded: "Not bad, not bad, this batch is even better... how about we raise it by another fifty cents!"

"That's not necessary." Qin Yun spoke the truth: "It's thousands of yuan, don't ask for it. At most, Uncle, you can round down the change, and just make sure they're tidied up well when the time comes."

The other party nodded frantically, already preparing to go back and get a few more crates. And Qin Yun smiled at Song Tan and He Kuang:

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"Come, sit for a while. Once they've pulled the radishes, you can just cut off the radish leaves."

Then she looked at Lu Chuan's: "Besides, he's already injured! He needs to rest more!"

However, looking at the total amount of just over two thousand jin in front of her, she still nodded: "Fine, I can make the call, let's add fifty cents—but not for the radish leaves! They're all old."

Until the eldest nephew gave him a quote: "Radishes are three yuan a jin, radish leaves are two, and cabbage is seven point five yuan a jin. Find someone to hurry up and tidy them up and weigh them; I still have to sell vegetables tonight."

He Kuang also nodded reservedly—anyway, whatever isn't used has to be handed over, might as well spend it freely!

"Sit down, sit down!" Qin Yun hurriedly called out to him: "The radish leaves need to be sorted; I can't do this kind of delicate work, you do it well!"

But Qin Yun had to add one more piece of advice: "Be careful, these radish leaves are prickly, don't let them poke your hands."

Uncle Wu nodded instantly: "Fine, fine, fine! I'll find someone to do it right now!"

"Come, the kitchen knife hasn't been brought over yet, you use this fruit knife first."

Because when he turned his head back, he discovered that Qin Yun was already rolling up her sleeves and stepping into the vegetable field, one radish in each hand, pulling them out with extreme efficiency.

Next time I come, I must wear fur!

Qin Yun:...!!!

The two older bachelors went off to sulk in loneliness.

"Come, lend a hand! Pull the radishes first; I'm afraid you won't know how to chop the cabbage."

The seedlings were all given by others!

Eight or nine hundred jin of radishes sounds like a lot, but when you really start pulling, it's only a hundred or so plants.

Speaking of which, He Kuang asked: "Chuan'er, how many days do you plan to stay here?"

Qin Yun looked at his windbreaker: "Your clothes aren't cheap, right? They're easy to wash in the washing machine; tonight, let Qiaoqiao teach you how to use the washing machine!"

She turned her head and looked at Song Tan and He Kuang: "With just these hundred or so radishes, can't the three of us pull them out? It'll be done in a minute!"

You have to have some competitiveness, don't you?

I don't know if it's expensive or not, but remembering Qiaoqiao's pair of 3,000-yuan shoes, and then looking at his face, Uncle Wu sighed, picked out a crate, patted it, and turned it upside down on the ground:

Eldest nephew:... I shouldn't have said that!

Hateful!

Song Tan remembered the solid wood table leg that was kicked off that day, and then looked at Lu Chuan, who needed to recuperate.

"Don't look for anyone else!" Qin Yun pointed to the three grown men beside her: "You guys lend him a hand, and later, you can tidy up this patch of radishes and cabbage separately and sell them to us!"

Lu Chuan thought for a moment: "Not sure yet, depends on what my mom thinks. But at most a week, otherwise I'll have to hire a cleaning service to come and water the flowers at my house."

She gestured to two places on the edge, estimating it could yield about three hundred jin.

Oh my, those hands are so white and the skin so tender, and these old radish leaves feel prickly to the touch; sensitive skin should still be careful.

"How is it?" Qin Yun asked him: "Is it still the same quality?"

The eldest nephew had already peeled a radish and was crunching on it, and a head of cabbage nearby had also been stripped of its tender leaves.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Chuan again, looked at his white sweater and pants of the same material, and that pair of shoes—

They should be content!

But it doesn't matter! The two of them regrouped: "Because I'm going out with you, and since we're coming to the Old Song family's place, my wife approved an extra twenty thousand yuan for shopping."
