Chapter 961 Snatching Vegetables

"Ding Ding-"

"Hello residents, this is Fuyuan Supermarket. Today, we are selling lettuce, cabbage, potatoes, loofah, and green beans. Fruits include cantaloupe, strawberries, watermelon, and honeydew melon. Each person is limited to two jin (1 kg) and can only purchase with their own identification information. Purchases cannot be made on behalf of others, including family members."

"What? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"It was working fine before, why isn't it working today?" The people blocking the supermarket entrance protested angrily.

Supermarket management ignored their protests and signaled other staff to open the door.

"Wait, I'll call my son over now."

"I call him my husband!"

……

The supermarket entrance was in a mess, but the door was now fully open. Seeing that no one was going into the supermarket, Mo Feiyu, who was standing at the back, immediately took advantage of her short stature and squeezed inside.

"Wow—" So many vegetables. Mo Feiyu was overjoyed when she saw the shelves full of vegetables.

"Hey, how did that kid get inside?"

"Yeah, we haven't called anyone yet! Manager, hurry up and call them out!" the person waiting outside said impatiently.

The supermarket management was somewhat speechless, saying, "It's already past the supermarket's opening hours."

“I know, I’m calling for help right now,” a middle-aged man said.

Just then, Mo Feiyu's cheerful voice came from inside the supermarket, "It smells so good, sister! I want these strawberries, watermelon, and this lettuce and cabbage. There are three people in my family..."

"Little friend, you can only buy your own portion, you can only buy two pounds," the salesperson said with a smile.

"Oh? Well, okay then."

The conversation inside the supermarket made those waiting outside impatient. Someone was pushed inside, and then the crowd rushed into the supermarket.

"The supermarket is currently experiencing high foot traffic. Please be careful and avoid stampedes. Anyone causing a disturbance in the supermarket will be blacklisted and permanently disqualified from purchasing goods at Fuyuan Supermarket," the supermarket's announcement rang out. The pushing and shoving subsided considerably.

Mo Feiyu, who was the first to enter the supermarket, was now standing outside the supermarket with a pound of strawberries and a pound of lettuce.

"Dad, the courier point! You can only buy your own!" Mo Feiyu called out as soon as she saw Mo Fengsheng from afar.

Just then, someone pushed her from behind, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward. Startled, she quickly covered her strawberries and lettuce, yelling, "Ah—!"

"Be careful."

The expected pain didn't come; instead, she was helped up. Mo Feiyu opened her eyes and asked, "It's you?"

"There are too many people here, you should stand over there." Wang Baobao pointed to the corner next to her.

"Oh, okay, thank you, sister. Are you here to buy groceries too?" Mo Feiyu walked to the corner, still feeling a bit shaken.

Wang Baobao nodded, "Mm."

"Then hurry up and go," Mo Feiyu said. "Each person can only buy two jin (1 kg), and you can only buy for yourself, not for your family."

"I know, thank you." Wang Baobao smiled. The little girl had shouted so loudly that everyone around knew.

But she's really cute.

Wang Baobao smiled and squeezed into the supermarket.

"Feifei, are you alright?" Mo Feng came to his daughter's side, panting. He had really been frightened just now.

"Dad, hurry up and go buy groceries, they'll all be sold out soon." Seeing that Mo Fengsheng had finally arrived, Mo Feiyu hurriedly pushed him towards the supermarket, completely forgetting that she had almost tripped and fallen earlier.
Mo Fengsheng wanted to examine his daughter, but she pushed him along. Unfortunately, he hadn't recovered and was weak in his limbs, so he could only follow her lead into the supermarket.

Watching her father enter the supermarket, Mo Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief, then slapped her thigh, "Oh no, I forgot to ask Dad to buy a watermelon." She looked annoyed, but could only watch longingly as the supermarket was packed with people.

As time went by, people gradually came out of the supermarket, carrying fresh vegetables, and passed by Mo Feiyu with a mixture of joy and regret on their faces.

Mo Feiyu got a little bored while waiting, so she squatted down and picked up a small stone to draw little figures. When she got tired of drawing, she stood up and played hopscotch. Her father taught her this, and he said that her grandmother taught her.

After hopping on the hopscotch board seven or eight times, she squatted down and peered into the supermarket. But the number of people in the supermarket hadn't decreased at all. After looking for a while, she saw nothing except that many people had holes in their pants.

"Dad, why isn't he out yet?" Mo Feiyu asked, holding strawberries and lettuce, inhaling the sweet fragrance of the strawberries, growing impatient as she waited.

"Little friend, who are you waiting for?" At this moment, a woman with single eyelids and thin lips, who looked very shrewd, squatted down next to Mo Feiyu.

Mo Feiyu stood up warily and took two steps back.

"Little friend, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."

Mo Feiyu frowned. Bad people don't admit they're bad! She didn't speak, but watched the woman warily while silently moving towards the supermarket.

"Little friend, I'm really not a bad person. I just want to ask if you're selling these strawberries and lettuce? I'm willing to pay 100 contribution points per pound to buy them. What do you think?" The woman looked at Mo Feiyu with a kind expression.

Mo Feiyu didn't speak or look at the woman anymore; he just hugged his strawberries and lettuce even tighter.

"No, little boy, don't use your strength! You'll crush the strawberries!" the woman hurriedly said, "If they're crushed, they won't fetch a good price."

Upon hearing this, Mo Feiyu immediately looked at her strawberry. Whew, thankfully it wasn't spoiled! She continued to keep her distance from the woman.

The woman was annoyed that Mo Feiyu was overly cautious despite his young age. "This brat!"

"Feifei, Dad has bought it." Mo Fengqi squeezed through the crowd, panting, and called out to Mo Feiyu.

Hearing her father's voice, Mo Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to his side. "Dad, what did you buy?"

“It’s honeydew melon, exactly two pounds,” Mo Fengsheng said.

"Oh?" Mo Feiyu felt a little regretful, but not disappointed. She was lucky to be able to buy vegetables.

"Let's go back quickly, the sun will be unbearable when it comes out later," Mo Fengsheng said.

"Uh-huh."

"Wait!" The woman appeared in front of the father and daughter.

Mo Fengsheng looked at the woman warily. He recognized her as a middleman. He said, "We don't sell vegetables." Then he took his daughter's hand and left.

The woman paused, seemingly without saying anything.

In the blink of an eye, the father and daughter had already walked far away.

The woman could only look for a new target in frustration. Just then, a thin girl came out of the supermarket. "Little girl, are you selling vegetables? I'll buy them for 100 contribution points per pound."

Wang Baobao shook his head, "Not selling!" He then walked past the woman and was about to leave when the woman grabbed his clothes. "Little girl, don't rush, the price is negotiable. I'll add 10 contribution points, making it 110 contribution points per jin."

The woman gave her a look that said, "Don't push your luck."

"I won't sell!" Wang Baobao angrily slapped the woman's hand away. "Does Fuyuan Supermarket know you're reselling vegetables?" She was furious. Yuanmu Xia's sister wasn't selling vegetables at such a low price to make money; she just wanted ordinary people in the base to have access to vegetables!

But now some people are reselling vegetables!

Wang Baobao stared at the woman.

The woman felt uncomfortable being stared at. "Hmph, if I'm not selling, I'm not selling. Why are you so concerned?" She glared fiercely at Wang Baobao and turned to blend into the crowd.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Baobao went back into the supermarket. No matter what, the people at Fuyuan Supermarket had to know about this.
