She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 135 Demand for Rice
"I think you're scared out of your wits. What's so scary about a little girl like that?"

"She's too weak to lift anything, but I handled her all by myself."

At this point, Chen Baoqin also sensed that something was amiss.

"Little brother, tell me the truth, is your arrest this time related to her?"

Chen Baosheng did not deny it and nodded, which made her even angrier.

"How shameless of you to dare to scheme against you like this."

"You wait here, I'll go and get justice for you right away."

Chen Baoqin was used to being arrogant and had an extremely short temper.

She stood up and left as soon as she finished speaking, ignoring Chen Baosheng's repeated calls.

"I'm doomed, they're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me."

He was also anxious. If someone were to expose this matter, his fate would not necessarily be as simple as ten years.

No, he couldn't sit still and wait for death.

"Captain Chen, let me see Captain Chen..."

……

The information Jiang Shi'an gathered was still limited.

It's impossible for the Chen family to ignore Chen Baosheng; it's normal for his sister to go there.

As for what the two talked about, Ji Shuyin didn't know and didn't take it seriously.

I stayed home for two days, and all the vegetables in the yard had already been harvested.

I'm not busy now, so I'm going to prepare to pickle sauerkraut.

I've never done this before, and I don't know the specific steps.

Yang Leyu found her a local team member, a woman.

It's agreed that I'll help pickle the sauerkraut, and in return, I'll give you five pounds of corn.

She thought it was a good idea, so she agreed.

However, they're busy these days, so it will take three to five days.

Perfect timing! I'll take advantage of these few days to let the cabbages air out and dry.

The vegetables in the space have yielded another great harvest; we can pick a lot every day now.

She felt she had to act quickly; that was her own thought.

She didn't think much of it and went to the black market before dawn.

This time, she brought out 100 kilograms of rice, along with two baskets of vegetables.

Because it was in an inconspicuous corner, by the time she was discovered, she had already taken everything out, so no one would suspect anything.

"Huh, is this rice?"

"Yes, it's the grain allocated to our own family. The quantity is limited, so it's first come, first served."

Is this year's new grain?

"Of course, ma'am, I don't have any old grain here."

Upon hearing that there was food, many people gathered around.

Then I saw those bright red tomatoes, emerald green beans, tender cucumbers and zucchini, and I absolutely loved them.

"Wow, it's so late, and there are still so many fresh vegetables. That's really rare."

"Yes, how much are these?"

……

Within three minutes, a crowd had gathered around the stall.

With everyone talking at once, Ji Shuyin was having trouble keeping up.

"Please line up, one at a time."

My rice costs 80 cents, no coupon required.

Vegetables are three cents a pound, all the same price.

Rice from the supply and marketing cooperative costs five to six mao (0.5 to 0.6 yuan), depending on the quality, and you also need grain coupons.

They were also selling for one yuan over there at the entrance.

At her price point, anyone familiar with her would be green with envy.

The vegetables were just so-so; she deliberately ordered them at a higher price because there were fewer varieties and they were out of season.

Generally, people don't pursue high-quality food; they just eat potatoes and cabbage occasionally, as both cost only a few cents per pound.

However, there are also those who are not short of money and want to improve their lives, so they might as well buy some to try.

Her vegetables are of extremely high quality and she has no trouble selling them.

"I want rice, give me thirty jin..."

The woman who first discovered her was speaking; she was now very anxious, afraid she wouldn't be able to buy it.

"Okay!" Without hesitation, she immediately started weighing the scales.

The first four people bought all 100 jin of rice, and the people behind them started to complain.

"Wow, so fast! Leave us a few pounds!"

"Exactly, it's rare to come across something this good."

It's said to be good, but really it's just that the price is cheap.

Although city dwellers are not short of money, no one wants to waste money.

"I'm sorry everyone, we're out of rice."

There are only vegetables left now. If you don't need any, you don't need to queue.

Yes, she said so as not to waste other people's time.

A few people left in scattered groups, leaving a long queue.

The vegetables I brought today are sure to sell out.

With confidence in their plans, they moved even faster.

In less than an hour, we can pack up and go home.

"It's sold out. Come back another day."

She was packing up her stall when she saw a pair of legs. Without looking up, she just said something like that.

However, the other party showed no intention of leaving and simply stood there.

Ji Shuyin was a little puzzled, so she just glanced at it.

"Sir, didn't you just buy some vegetables?"

I'm sold out, that's all.

Upon hearing this, the other party was not in a hurry, but instead looked at her with a smile.

"Young lady, now that the autumn harvest is over, do you have any extra grain at home?"

Is there still demand?
"Sir, we don't have any today."

“I know, young lady, if you have any extra at home.”

Or, you could collect some from your neighbors; I'm happy with that.

The price is negotiable, what do you think?

Well, it's pretty good that they came to our door.

Ji Shuyin also stood up and lowered her voice.

"Sir, how much do you want?"

Upon hearing that there was a chance, the other party also became excited.

"The more the better, we have a large family."

"I'm open to whatever amount you can offer."

People in the city can still use their food ration coupons to collect food every month.

However, the supply is rationed for each person, and if there are able-bodied people or young people in the family, it is simply not enough to eat.

In this day and age, there's a common saying: "A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home," which is also widely used.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask around. If someone's selling it, I'll contact you."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Here's an address."

You can just send it to me when the time comes.

"I won't let you work for nothing; I'll give you some extra money for your hard work."

"Row."

She was straightforward in her speech and actions, so she stopped being so indecisive.

After leaving his address, the old man left, and she also prepared to leave.

This person is someone I know from work, a colleague, and we're all in similar financial situations.

Later, if possible, we can ask him to help us make connections and sell all the rice in the space.

So many things have taken up most of the empty space, and it doesn't look very nice.

After thinking it over, I suddenly realized that this wasn't a bad thing either, at least I wouldn't have to come here to set up a stall.

It's a good thing that we can get more at once.

They packed up their belongings, slung their baskets over their shoulders, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, four people wearing black mandarin jackets came over.

"Are you the one selling grain here?"

Uh, the one in the lead is the person from the grain stall at the entrance.

"Yes, what can I do for you?"
