Chapter 22 Reselling Space Resources
Su Zhen tiptoed carefully around several puddles of dirty water, and when she saw Granny Cai with a beaming smile in front of her, a flash of disdain crossed her eyes.
After looking around and making sure no one was following her, Su Zhen slipped into the house and placed a large bundle on the table.
"Grandma, please take these things to the market and sell them for me. As always, you'll get your share of the profits after it's done."
Granny Cai quickly smiled ingratiatingly, her voice hoarse and ingratiating: "Don't worry, young lady, I will do my best. It's just that the market is under strict control these days. What if I get questioned..."
Su Zhen frowned impatiently:
"Figure this out yourself. If you can't even handle this little thing, you won't have this kind of money-making opportunity again. Look at your shabby little house, surrounded by stinking ditches in front and behind. Do you want to live here forever? Don't you want your little grandson to have better food and clothes?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Granny Cai's face. She was raising her grandson all by herself, and making a living was truly difficult.
Now that she's old, she's looked down upon when she goes out to wash clothes for others. Su Zhen hasn't come to see her for months, and she only has a few dozen copper coins left in her pocket. How could she easily let go of this good opportunity?
Granny Cai gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement: "What you say is right, young lady. I will definitely find a way! My grandson and I are completely dependent on your care. I am deeply grateful for your great kindness!"
"Good that you understand. Stop talking nonsense. I'm in a hurry. You'd better take the stuff to the market and sell it!"
"Oh! I'll go right away, Miss Su, please wait a moment! Chunsheng, quickly pour Miss Su a cup of tea, Grandma will be back soon..."
The room that Granny Cai rented was not only small and dark, but also had a faint musty smell.
Looking up, I saw that the beams and pillars were covered with mold, which gave me goosebumps.
If you accidentally inhale mold spores, it can easily cause lung infections. In this godforsaken place where the medical level is about the same as in the Stone Age, this is a deadly disease!
Su Zhen shook her sleeves in disgust, instinctively wanting to grab a mask from her spatial storage and put it on, but considering there was a child in the room, she had no choice but to endure the discomfort.
However, Granny Cai was always efficient, and after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Miss Su, everything has been taken care of!"
Granny Cai handed over every penny she had earned from the sale.
She was not only efficient but also very clean; otherwise, Su Zhen wouldn't have always asked Granny Cai to do things for her.
Su Zhen curled her lips into a smile, picked out a small piece of silver and handed it to Granny Cai, her expression finally softening: "Grandma, this is for your hard work."
Granny Cai immediately beamed with joy, gratefully tucking the bag into her bosom: "Thank you so much, Miss Su! Thank you so much, Miss Su!"
Su Zhen waved her hand indifferently and left the house without looking back: "I will come to see you again in the next few days."
"Hey! Chunsheng, hurry up and see Miss Su off!"
After leaving Granny Cai's house, Su Zhen turned around and went to visit several shops in town.
When they got home, the sun was already setting, and wisps of smoke were rising from the village chimneys. It was time for the Su family to have dinner.
Su Zhen had already secretly won over Old Madam Su. Without Old Madam Su's permission, no one in the family dared to mention that she hadn't gone to work in the fields that day. In addition, she had sold the supplies in her space and exchanged them for some money, so she had a very pleasant day.
Hmph, she's a transmigrated woman from the modern world with a spatial cheat ability, how can she be like these backward, feudal, and uncivilized peasants, toiling in the fields all day long with no ambition whatsoever!
As Su Zhen rummaged through her food, her eyes swept contemptuously over the people around her, finally settling on Su Yao and Su Li.
Su Yao is a complete idiot; in terms of looks and brains, how can she compare to me?
She's just relying on having a smart older brother!
No matter how well he studies, he's only a student at the lowest level now. In modern terms, he'd be just a slightly better-performing junior high student. What's so special about that?
She's a genuine college graduate; if she were to transmigrate into a man's body, passing the imperial examinations would be a piece of cake.
As for Su Li, who was quietly eating her meal in silence...
Despite wearing simple clothes, her natural beauty and slender figure were still undeniable.
She sat there quietly, like a night-blooming cereus quietly blooming in the dark night, captivating all who looked away.
Su Zhen was instantly consumed by jealousy, her teeth almost grinding to powder. Even though she was unwilling, she had to admit that Su Li was indeed a beauty.
"But what good is her beauty? She's still just a peasant girl!"
"She spends her days tending a few acres of barren land, destined to marry a rough, uncouth farmer, have a bunch of children, and live a slovenly and impoverished life in this remote and desolate place. How can she compare to me?"
"I possess a special space, destined for great success. What is a country girl compared to me? Why should I bother arguing with them? I've truly lost my mind..."
Su Zhen thought to herself, unconsciously speeding up her eating. She would have to think about what supplies she should take out of her space to sell tomorrow when she got back to her room.
Mother is right. What they lack most right now is money. With money, they can buy a house in town and then they won't have to squeeze together with this whole family.
It also saves me from seeing my uncle's family showing off in front of me all day long...
Having not worked in the fields for several days in a row, Su Li had already begun to suspect something about Su Zhen's disappearance.
Since the old man and woman are not interfering, they must be aware of the situation and are unlikely to harm their own interests.
Su Li's anxiety was temporarily relieved.
Today it was the fourth branch's turn to cook again. Su Li got up early to help Madam Hu clean the vegetables, and then took Su Xiang Sheng to town.
This time, the two brought several times more medicinal herbs than before, but the quality was just as good.
The shopkeeper was secretly amazed, but readily paid the money, feeling a greater sense of goodwill towards the brother and sister.
For them, the most important thing in doing business is integrity.
"Let's go, it's still early, let's go to the market and buy some things!"
Su Li counted the silver in her purse. Adding the money from selling medicine last time, it totaled fifteen taels and eight mace, plus more than three hundred copper coins. This was already a considerable sum in the countryside.
A mule costs sixty taels of silver, and with a cart and ropes, it comes to almost seventy taels.
Of the more than 80 households in Linshui Village, no more than five can afford a mule cart.
Su Li had a premonition that in a while, she would be able to afford a mule cart.
"This three hundred copper coins is your reward. Keep it safe." Su Li wrapped the whole piece of silver in a handkerchief and put it in her pocket. She planned to use the remaining change to buy some things at the market.
"Three...three hundred?"
Su Xiangsheng seemed to be struck by lightning, turning around in disbelief. He stared blankly at the money bag in Su Li's hand, not daring to take it.
He had never seen so much money before, let alone had to hand it all over to him.
Even the village head's golden egg could only be worth a maximum of ten copper coins, and that was a privilege reserved for the New Year!
Su Xiangsheng sniffed: "Sis, are you kidding me?"
