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

Chapter 65 Successfully Earned 300 Yuan

The old man pointed to some old, worn-out furniture next to him; those belonged to the Gu family.

Its quality and materials are naturally inferior to those of the Wang family.

In comparison, it's obviously just broken stuff.

"Grandpa, some low-class things take up space at home too."

Whether you chop it into firewood or dismantle it for scrap wood, it's up to you.

I just want some peace and quiet; whether they can offer a price or not is irrelevant to me.

Ji Shuyin smiled radiantly, and with her bright and elegant features, she was a pleasant sight to behold.

"Oh, I see. Okay, I'll take them all."

These thirteen sets will still be priced at twenty yuan each.

I see there are some individual pieces of furniture here that don't match the set, plus all these miscellaneous items. I'll give you three hundred yuan in total, is that okay?

Three hundred yuan was within expectations.

These things were originally extra.

At this price, what more could she possibly want?

"Okay, it's all up to you."

This attitude is pleasing to the eye.

"Come on, girl, come inside with me to get the money."

In other words, she doesn't need to worry about this anymore; she guesses those two young men have already been taken back.

Inside, there is a simple office.

There was a bed there, probably for the old man to rest temporarily.

In addition, there were quite a few small items.

This place is full of bottles and jars.

Ji Shuyin was also stunned, mainly because there were just too many of them.

"Sir, are all these bottles for sale too?"

"Well, they're all worthless, but they're fine as decorations."

"You can pick a few to take home and play with, it's free."

The meaning is clear: anything slightly valuable or old has definitely been collected by him.

If that's the case, this old man might actually know something about antiques.

She has a lot of them in her space.

However, we don't need all the money and tickets right now, so there's no need to sell them.

Those were all left behind by her Ji family ancestors.

"Thank you very much, sir."

Ji Shuyin didn't stand on ceremony. She picked out a few that looked nice and took out three hundred yuan, which made her all set.

"By the way, sir, what if anyone recognizes these things..."

This is something we must also be wary of.

Wang Xinyu definitely won't come to Shousong County, but Gu Yuncheng and Tang Weiyu are still here.

The conversation between those two yesterday clearly indicated that they were also looking to rent a place.

If we happen to run into them, they will be a major threat.

Putting everything else aside, how could Gu Yuncheng not recognize the furniture in the Gu family home, even if others weren't familiar with it?
The old man wasn't stupid; he immediately waved his hand.

"Once the money and goods are exchanged, we'll be strangers when we meet again."

As for those things, I collect a lot every day, including some that come from other places. Who can remember who sold them? You're kidding!

That dismissive tone reassured her quite a bit.

Although this place belongs to the government, the old man definitely has a lot of authoritative authority.

That's how it is when dealing with smart people; they can make you understand their meaning with just a simple sentence.

Therefore, there's nothing to worry about.

"Thank you, sir."

Then I won't bother you any longer, you go ahead with your work~

"it is good."

……

When Jiang Shi'an saw her return, he quickly came over to greet her.

She not only carried that cloth bag, but also a lot of bottles and jars.

"let me help you……"

"Yes, these were given to me by the old man earlier."

I figured it might be useful later, so I took a few. We'll split them up later." Hearing this, Huang Chunjing came over as well.

"This can be used as a vase, and these jars can be used to store oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar."

We've saved some money again, that's great!

Although she didn't take much, it was something she could actually use, and all three of them were happy.

The tractor is already full today, so we're not going to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Moreover, her thoughts were simple: she hoped she could go out for a trip herself.

In this way, many things don't need to be done through the proper channels.

If we buy things together, everyone can see what we buy.

If a different one is presented later, it's easy for others to become suspicious.

Fortunately, this life of constant fear is about to end.

Instead of returning to the educated youth dormitory, they went directly to the house.

It took the three of them a lot of effort to arrange the furniture.

"I'm exhausted today. I think I'll be able to eat an extra bowl of rice tonight."

“Hahaha, that’s true.”

I didn't even have time for lunch, and it's already afternoon.

The house is starting to take shape, but there are still many things missing.

"I was saying I'd move in tonight, but there's not even a mat for the kang (heated brick bed). Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer."

Indeed, the kang (heated brick bed) is made of earth, and if you put a quilt on it directly, it will get dirty very easily.

Furthermore, there's too much dust.

"Don't think too much about it. At least we have all the major furniture pieces. We can add the smaller items gradually."

Ji Shuyin was extremely content. Looking at her already prosperous little home, she always felt like she could finally catch her breath.

"That's true, no rush."

"Then let's go to the county town tomorrow and buy these little things."

Jiang Shi'an, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

"How about we go the day after tomorrow?"

"why?"

Huang Chunjing was a little puzzled. Shouldn't things be done as quickly as possible?

"I heard from the brigade leader that there will be a big market in town the day after tomorrow."

It's collectivist; villagers can bring their handicrafts, homegrown vegetables, or poultry to exchange for money.

Ji Shuyin did have some recollection of the socialist fair, which was intended to address the problem of overproduction.

Many regions have introduced this policy.

Especially in the three northeastern provinces, it was practically the birthplace, and many local officials came to learn from it!
"If that's the case, maybe we'll run into someone selling kang mats, and you won't even need a ticket?"

"Yes, the kang mat is also handmade, and it doesn't require much skill."

Many of my fellow villagers can do it, and the materials are readily available everywhere. Let's go and try our luck.

Anyway, it won't make a difference if it's just a day or two.

He's right, items sold by individuals are definitely cheaper.

Although he himself didn't care, the other two still had to consider their financial situation.

"Can I buy food or something like that too?"

Huang Chunjing blinked, her face full of eagerness to learn.

"What are you thinking? Didn't I say that only your own family property can be given away?"

Goods such as grains, industrial products, and non-staple foods are not allowed to appear at the market.

This is a fundamental mistake; you can't even talk about it, let alone do it.

Ji Shuyin's expression was very serious, and Huang Chunjing immediately covered her mouth, afraid that others would overhear.

"Ji Zhiqing, Ji Zhiqing, are you there?"

Someone called her from outside, and Ji Shuyin quickly came out.

It was Zhou Chaoyang, and he was holding a letter in his hand.

"Zhou Zhiqing, is something the matter?"

She came here directly, so there must be something wrong. Otherwise, it would have been the same if she had waited until she returned to the educated youth dormitory.

"I saw your letter at the team headquarters, so I brought it to you. Here..."

Ji Shuyin was also somewhat surprised when she saw the brown paper envelope he handed her.

"My letter?"
