Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 14 Preparing to Escape
But as soon as they returned to the room where the three sisters lived, their two younger sisters came over. The youngest sister, Su Wenxing, hugged Su Qiuyi's arm, her tone very excited.
"Sister, did you really make money running errands for others?" Her little eyes sparkled.
Su Qiuyi nodded, "Yes, but it's not much, just five copper coins. Now five copper coins can't even buy half a pound of brown rice!"
The price of food is rising day by day, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to survive...
She still had nine taels and six hundred coins on her, and she took out five copper coins from behind her sleeve to show her two sisters.
"Wow... it's true... look, second sister!" Su Wenxing has a lively personality and seldom comes into contact with money. When she saw that her elder sister actually earned so much, her face was filled with smiles.
"Big sister...will it be dangerous for you to deliver the vegetable seeds? How about I go with you tomorrow!"
The second sister, Su Mingyue, was more thoughtful and did not forget about her eldest sister's safety just because she saw the money. She was afraid that her eldest sister would be cheated.
"It's okay, the housekeeper is very nice and doesn't look like a liar! All right, all right, you two go do what you need to do! Have you fed grandma's precious two chickens? Those are the only two animals at home, why don't you go check them out!"
Su Qiuyi waved his hand and asked his two sisters to go out.
When grandma was mentioned, the two of them became anxious and didn't care about the coins or anything else and ran out quickly.
Su Qiuyi felt the gazes from behind, and knew that as soon as her two sisters left, her stepmother would slowly approach and would be standing behind her, watching her. She did not dare to do anything to the vegetable seeds.
I simply took them out and counted them one by one.
Xu Hui watched her spread out the cloth wrapping the seeds and count the seeds carefully one by one. She thought she was idle, so she watched for a while and then left.
However, Su Qiuyi had no intention of stopping and continued counting until he had counted all the seeds of the four vegetables.
Three hundred and seventy-eight cucumbers.
One hundred and ninety-five beans.
Four hundred and fifty-nine eggplants.
Two hundred and seventy-nine pumpkins.
When he got this number, Su Qiuyi could hardly suppress his inner excitement. He took a deep breath and slowly calmed his beating heart.
One thousand three hundred and one is a seed, how many ounces of gold is that? But you will be rich.
She was quite good at math and estimated that there were more than eighty taels.
This weighs several kilograms. I have never seen so much gold in my two lifetimes...
Although she was excited, she knew that her stepmother was staring at her from time to time, so she didn't dare to do anything wrong. She could only suppress her inner excitement, put away all the seeds, and then lay on the kang and pretended to sleep as if nothing had happened.
This outfit really made her fall asleep.
The men who went up the mountain did not come back until dark, but they all had some gains. Su Laosan caught a skinny pheasant, which made the whole family very happy.
Su Li knew that the pheasant was caught by Su Lao San, and she felt embarrassed to not let the people from the third room eat it.
Although she had given them all the food for the whole day and divided up some water, she was still reluctant to give in. Perhaps also because Su Qiuyi had made her earn fifty cents, she became a little more accommodating towards them.
In the evening, the third room not only had chicken soup, but each of them also had a piece of chicken. Although there were a lot of bones, it was still meat.
It was hot and food couldn't be kept away, so Su Qiuyi took out the porridge she had cooked in the evening.
Xu Hui cried and went to Su Laosan to admit her mistake, swearing that she would never care about her mother's family again. Su Laosan did not say that he forgave her explicitly, but his mood was not so low anymore.
Su Qiuyi took out five copper coins and gave them to Su Laosan, saying that this was the money she earned from running errands for others, and also told him about the vegetable seeds.
"Yiyi, how about daddy accompany you to town tomorrow!" Su Laosan was just as worried as Su Mingyue.
How could Su Qiuyi possibly seek trouble for himself? He quickly gave various explanations and tried hard to convince his handsome father.
"Then you must be careful about your own safety! The town is in turmoil right now, so don't let anything go wrong... Oh, Xu Hui, tomorrow you take Yueyue and Xingxing to weave two big backpacks! Judging from the situation, fleeing from the famine is inevitable! We have to prepare quickly, because the well may run out of water at any time!"
When they heard about fleeing from famine, fear and worry appeared on the faces of mother and daughter.
Xu Hui didn't care about her mother's family anymore, and nodded quickly, "I know, I'll do it tomorrow! By the way, boss, can I go back to Xujiagou tomorrow... I'll tell them the news..."
Su Laosan did not agree immediately, but returned the five copper coins that Su Qiuyi had given him. "Yiyi, you may need this money when you go to town, take it!"
Then he looked at Xu Hui and nodded, "Okay! Just don't forget about the backpack!"
He is not a cold-blooded person. He won't stop anyone if they are just delivering a message.
Not only the third room, but the other two rooms were also making preparations, preparing backpacks, and even some things that were not needed now were put into the backpacks, as if they were ready to set off at any time.
The next morning, as soon as Su Qiuyi woke up, her second sister came back with a few bowls of rice soup from home.
The little girl got up early. I felt sorry for her because she had to go to town today and it would be tiring, so I got up to make breakfast and boiled some medicine for her.
But she kept her mouth shut and looked worried, and you could tell at a glance that something had happened.
When Su Qiuyi asked, she found out that after making breakfast and decocting medicine, all the water allocated to them for the day had been used up.
"It's okay. I'll go to town and have a look. Maybe I can find some water there! You two should be smart at home!"
It still takes an hour to walk here. When Su Qiuyi was in modern times, although he was a social animal, he could take the bus and subway when he went out. It felt like he had walked more distance to this damn place than in all his previous lives combined.
She sold the vegetable seeds when she rested on the road.
Wen Xin was also very excited to see so many seeds.
Finally, when the two of them settled the bill, Wen Xiner generously waved her hand and directly rounded off the amount, giving Su Qiuyi eighty-five taels of gold.
She didn't have that much money in her hand now, but after Su Qiuyi arrived in the town and walked around twice, the money was in the storage compartment.
Eighty-five taels of gold, a full six pounds, gave Su Qiuyi a heavy sense of security.
Wen Xiner told her with some reluctance that she couldn't harvest the vegetable seeds recently.
Because of these two large shipments of plant seeds, she was targeted by the Plant and Animal Research Institute, and she wanted to stay quiet for a while.
Su Qiuyi understood. After all, plants and animals were scarce in the interstellar plane, so so many seeds at once would definitely arouse suspicion.
She is no longer short of money and is not in a hurry to make another transaction.
Wen Xin had another reason, that is, she suddenly had more than 80,000 to nearly 90,000 star coins in her hands. She wanted to take revenge on her scumbag father and stepmother, and also wanted to rescue her biological mother.
Su Qiuyi, who got the money, felt more confident. He touched his stomach randomly and felt that an empty stomach was too uncomfortable.
He turned around and went to the only clothing store that was open.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper did not chase her out because of her shabby clothes. Maybe because there were not many people in the shop, he warmly invited her in.
Seeing the shopkeeper's enthusiasm, Su Qiuyi waved his hand generously and bought a set of ready-made clothes for each of his family members, and also bought himself an extra set of more expensive and better-made men's ready-made clothes.
