The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 9: Taking all the money from the unfilial son
He Tianci's face turned a little ugly.
"Mom, I've almost spent all my money. I have to attend a literary gathering in a few days, but you didn't give me any money, so I can't go."
All these years, when has he ever taken back the money that came into his hands?
He Tianci has become accustomed to sucking blood from the big family behind him. Although he is a little afraid of Meng Lan, he subconsciously takes it for granted that the whole family should sacrifice everything for him.
Meng Languang looked at He Tianci's expression and knew what this rebellious son was thinking, so he didn't hesitate and strode to the head of He Tianci's bed.
While He Tianci was still not able to react, he lifted up his mattress and took out a purse from underneath, which contained the remaining money.
She was the one who taught He Tianci where to hide his money. How dare you show off your skills in front of me? You are still a little naive.
Meng Lan opened her purse and poured out the remaining copper coins on the table. After counting them, she put them all back. There were still more than 500 coins left. She cursed in her heart, "This kid He Tianci spent money so quickly."
Then Meng Lan ignored He Tianci's gaze and put the more than 500 coins into her pocket. She turned around and rolled her eyes at He Tianci.
"From now on, I won't give you a penny. If you want to join the Society of Scholars, you'll have to find a way. If you can stay in this town, then stay. If you can't, then go back to the village and farm with your eldest brother and the others. Okay, think about it yourself. Yang, let's go!"
After taking away all the money from He Tianci, Meng Lan also accomplished the main purpose of this trip. With more than 500 coins in her pocket, she called Yang and prepared to go home happily.
As for He Tianci's life or death, he is such a grown-up. If he doesn't know to eat when he is hungry and doesn't know to run into the house when it rains, there is no need for him to exist.
If he can make money, he will stay in the town. If he can't survive, he will go back to the village to farm. If he has no money, he will find a way to survive as a grown-up.
He Tianci watched helplessly as his mother took away all the money he had on him like a bandit passing through the border. Even his wife didn't know how to protect him. He was dumbfounded for a long time.
It was not until Meng Lan and Yang left that he realized what had happened. Not only did his mother not give him any money, she also took away all the money he had!
How can we live like this!
He Tianci was so devastated that he collapsed and sat down on the ground. He felt sad about the loss of more than 500 coins, and was worried that his good days were over.
After sitting on the ground for a while, He Tianci got up from the ground because he was so hungry that he realized he had no money to buy food.
He Tianci had no choice but to pick up the half roast chicken on the ground, go outside to get a basin of water, rinse off the ashes on it, and then start eating it bite by bite.
Unlike He Tianci, Meng Lan thought that this unfilial son had almost spent all his money, but she didn't expect that he could still find more than 500 coins. With such a "huge sum of money" in her pocket, Meng Lan felt so happy.
The heart that had been chilled by He Tianci's selfishness was now warmed up again.
After seeing her mother-in-law's majesty, Yang became even more obedient following Meng Lan.
Only today did she realize her mother-in-law's violent methods. She thought her mother-in-law was really polite to her and didn't slap her.
After coming to the town, Meng Lan earned more than 500 coins, but she was not in a hurry to go back. Why was she in such a hurry to go back? Was she in a hurry to go back to eat brown rice or wild vegetables?
When Meng Lan thought of the delicious roast chicken that her rebellious son ate, she felt so angry. She had only eaten a few chickens at her age, let alone roast chicken!
The more Meng Lan thought about it, the angrier she became. She also wanted to eat well. Everyone in the family, except He Tianci, should eat well!
So Yang watched her mother-in-law's face turn from red to black, from black to red, and finally to blue.
"Go to the town gate and see if there's a bus back home. I'm going to buy some things."
After Meng Lan finished speaking, she left Yang behind and ran away. After she could no longer see her mother-in-law, Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could finally relax. It was too stressful to be with her mother-in-law.
Then Yang obediently followed Meng Lan's instructions and walked towards the town gate.
After leaving her daughter-in-law behind, Meng Lan did not rush into the supermarket. Instead, she first bought a large backpack and then went into an empty alley.
After confirming that there was no one around and the environment was safe, Meng Lan rushed into the supermarket.
Before she could take a closer look, the deafening sound from the supermarket's loudspeaker rushed into her ears.
"Good news, good news, pork in the fresh produce section is on sale today, 10% off for all items~"
"Buy one get one free in the grain and oil section, this day only~"
"There are free gifts for every purchase. For every 100 coins spent today, you will get 10 eggs~"
Meng Lan's eyes widened when she heard this. As soon as the pork was discounted, she rushed to the fresh food area to check the price tags. Sure enough, the price written on the price column gave her an extremely surprising feeling: 1 cent per pound.
Pork outside is usually 35 wen per pound, and in the supermarket system it is usually half price, priced at 17 wen per pound (the supermarket automatically rounds off the decimal point). After a 1.7% discount, it is 1 wen per pound, and the decimal point is automatically rounded off, which means it is wen per pound.
This pork is cheaper than the brown rice that costs 5 cents per pound outside!
If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a fool. Meng Lan simply cleared out all the pork in the fresh food section today and bought a total of 500 kilograms.
Five hundred kilograms. This is just the upper limit of the supermarket’s daily pork supply, not the upper limit for her, Meng Lan.
Meng Lan picked out two pig's trotters and an elbow, and stored the rest in the supermarket's storage space. Time stood still in the storage space, which was simply the best refrigerator in the world. She didn't have to worry about the food going bad.
After spending 500 coins, Meng Lan went to the supermarket counter and got 50 eggs. Thinking that she still had a lot of eggs at home, Meng Lan saved these 50 eggs together with the pork.
Meng Lan had already saved the 5210 coins that she had saved at home into the system, so she didn't have to worry about them being stolen by thieves while hiding them at home.
After spending the more than 500 coins she had stolen from He Tianci, Meng Lan began to stroll leisurely in the supermarket.
She bought another barrel of oil, and the system gave her another barrel, making two barrels in total. Then she bought a bag of refined rice and a bag of refined flour, and the system also gave her another bag of each. Then she went to the seasoning area to buy some seasoning.
Meng Lan remembered how sickly He Lianlian looked before she went out, and guessed that she was suffering from insufficient qi and blood, so she bought a pound of brown sugar from the seasoning area.
Finally, Meng Lan walked to the vegetable section and bought a few green and red peppers, two large cabbages, and eight or nine potatoes.
Fortunately, the types of vegetables in the era when she traveled through the book were similar to those in modern times, and the vegetables in the supermarket could basically be taken out and used directly.
Every household in the village would plant some food in front of or behind their house. Menglan's family also planted some, but they only planted cabbage, and the quantity was not large. So they usually ate more wild vegetables.
She put the vegetables and pork in the backpack, and put the pound of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper in it. After leaving the other things in the supermarket, she came out.
Meng Lan carried the basket of things on her back and walked quickly towards the town entrance.
Although Yang was usually cunning, she was still good at doing things. Meng Lan saw that she had found a car and there were quite a few people in the car, so they were probably all going this way.
Yang had already reserved a seat for Meng Lan. When she saw Meng Lan coming back, she waved to Meng Lan and signaled her mother-in-law to sit next to her.
After Meng Lan sat down, Yang noticed the large backpack behind Meng Lan. It looked heavy, and it was probably filled with a lot of things. However, it was covered with a lid, so it was tightly covered and she could not see anything.
Yang sat obediently beside Meng Lan, feeling very curious.
When the donkey cart started moving, she saw that Meng Lan looked fine, and finally couldn't help but whispered to Meng Lan, "Mom, what did you buy?"
