After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 35 I'm Here to Return Your Clothes

Jiang Xiaohe had never expected her to say that.

Shaking his head, he explained, "Big sister, this thing is more precious than this fragrant fruit, it can't be any cheaper."

The woman didn't hesitate: "Forget it."

After saying that, he paid the money.

He walked very simply.

The lady selling vegetables nearby said, "Can I have a taste of your fruit?"

Jiang Xiaohe was not stingy and handed her a small bunch, telling her to peel the skin before eating.

The vegetable seller ate one and said, "Big sister, you really can't sell this thing for more than the fragrant fruit! Although it tastes sweet and sour, people prefer sweets!"

Yes, Jiang Xiaohe realized, sugar was so expensive in ancient times! Because it was expensive, everyone thought that sweet food must be much more expensive.

"I see. Thank you, big sister."

The vegetable seller smiled and shook her head. She didn't eat any of the grapes herself, but secretly put them away. This kind of sour and sweet grape is children's favorite, so she saved it for her child to eat when she got home.

Seeing that more people were coming to the market, Jiang Xiaohe started shouting as she did before.

Xu Xiaohua was also startled and a little embarrassed, but when she saw some people coming when Jiang Xiaohe shouted, she encouraged herself and shouted like her.

Jiang Xiaohe stared at her in surprise, and they smiled at each other and shouted even harder.

Soon, the stall was crowded with people. She was selling wild sweet potatoes and grapes at the same time.

"Brother and sister, please try some. These grapes are sour and sweet, very appetizing and delicious. They are not expensive, only six cents a pound."

After everyone tasted the grapes, some were willing to buy and some were not. She put the copper coins from selling the grapes into a basket so that she could share them with Xu Xiaohua later.

After shouting for a long time, all the fragrant fruits and wild vegetables were sold out, but there were still some grapes left.

It seems that this grape is not so popular!

She thought about it and decided not to sell grapes next time. They were too cheap and it was tiring to carry them around. It would be better to make them into wine and try it in a winery. Maybe she could sell them at a higher price.

Although she was not satisfied, Xu Xiaohua next to her was very satisfied. She had not expected that the wild fruits grown in the mountains could be sold for money!

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Xiaohe was ready to close the stall. At this time, Manager Hu came again.

"What's this new thing you have?" Manager Hu asked, pointing at the remaining grapes.

Jiang Xiaohe immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Sister Hu, these are grapes, which are also a kind of fruit, sour and sweet." As she spoke, she handed her two to her for a taste.

Sister Hu ate one and found it a little sour. However, the lady of the family had just gotten pregnant a few days ago and was vomiting everything she ate. If she bought these and took them back, she would be happy eating them and maybe she would get some reward.

"How do you sell this?"

Jiang Xiaohe said bluntly: "Today I sell it for six cents a pound. If you want it, Sister Hu, I'll give you five cents."

Manager Hu didn't say anything.

Jiang Xiaohe added: "This grape is a rare commodity, only my family has it, today I am letting everyone taste it, if I sell this in the future, I will sell it for more than this price."

Upon hearing what she said, Manager Hu packed up all the items immediately. Since it was a rare item, she bought it back and said it was only a few cents, and no one would know.

Jiang Xiaohe weighed it and it was about eight kilograms.

He took forty cents, which made the older sister next to him jealous.

"You grow all these fruits yourself?"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said nothing.

"Sister, I still need to buy some things, so I'll leave first."

The vegetable seller didn't get any information out of her question and just nodded sadly.

Jiang Xiaohe called Zhang Fu and found a quiet place to count the copper coins from selling grapes. She never expected that she had to carry more than 40 kilograms of grapes to sell for 230 copper coins.

She counted out one hundred and fifteen cents and gave them to Xu Xiaohua.

Xu Xiaohua was so scared that she didn't dare to answer it.

"No, no, no, auntie, five cents is all I need!"

Jiang Xiaohe stuffed it into her hand and said, "We said yesterday that we would each have half! Take it quickly."

Xu Xiaohua trembled as she held so many copper coins. The most copper coins she had ever touched in her life were no more than five cents.

His eyes turned red and he knelt down in front of Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe hurried to help her up.

Xu Xiaohua cried and said, "It's not that grandma can't go up the mountain, but she is sick. But there is no money at home, so we can't afford her medical treatment. So we kept putting it off. I picked wild vegetables and sold them in town, but no one bought them. Aunt Jiang, thank you! Thank you so much."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Jiang Xiaohe touched her head and felt a little sad.

"Well, with this money, I can treat your grandma."

Xu Xiaohua nodded, and Jiang Xiaohe wiped the tears from her face: "Then can you go back alone? Auntie still has some things to do in town."

Zhang Fu said at this time: "It's okay, I will go back with her first, you can come back by ox cart later, Dad will walk back, we can save as much as possible."

Jiang Xiaohe wanted to say that there was no need to save money, but then she saw Xu Xiaohua and thought that she would definitely not ride in the ox cart. She thought it would be good for Zhang Fu to accompany her, after all, the little girl now had a huge sum of money!

"Okay, then Dad, you guys go back first, I'll go buy some things."

Jiang Xiaohe went to the butcher shop first and bought half a pound of meat and two leg bones, thinking of making some soup to nourish her family.

Then she went to the grain and oil shop and, following Zeng Hua's instructions, used the remaining copper coins from the meat to buy brown sugar.

Then she asked, "Boss, do you have any sugar for sale?"

When the boss heard this, he immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!"

As he said that, he took out a bag. Jiang Xiaohe took a look and saw that there was indeed white sugar inside.

“How do you sell this?”

"Sugar is expensive. If you want it, it's one cent per pound." The boss looked her up and down and said.

One catty is sold for one penny? One hundred pennies!

Jiang Xiaohe frowned. The boss thought she wouldn't want it and was about to put it away, but she said, "Boss, I want half a pound."

The boss paused, then laughed and said, "Yes!"

After paying the money, the boss smiled and sent her out of the shop.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the small bag of sugar in her hand and comforted herself that she could earn it back, she could earn it back.

Then he walked towards Chang's house to return the clothes to others.

Arriving at the gate of Chang's house, Jiang Xiaohe went forward and knocked on the door.

It happened to be Manager Chang who opened the door. When he saw her, he was surprised at first. Before he could say anything, Jiang Xiaohe handed over her clothes: "Manager Chang, I'm here to return your clothes."

After saying this, he handed the clothes to Manager Chang and turned away.
