The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Every time Aunt Ye announced a price, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in surprise, and no one raised their hand.

There's nothing else to it, it's just that the price is too cheap.

Nutritional products like dairy products only cost a few cents, and beef jerky costs one dollar and one pound. These are things we don't need for our own use, but we can sell them for a high price at the pigeon market.

Seeing that the bag was almost empty and that no one else wanted anything, Aunt Ye simply spoke up:

"Alright, I don't see any need to keep reporting it. Let's just split the money evenly."

"Sister Ye, you should have done this a long time ago," Yu Guifen replied with a chuckle.

"You're everywhere!"

Aunt Ye pretended to glare at her, then started giving orders, "Come on, a few people, let's sort and weigh the things."

As soon as he finished speaking, several quick-witted middle-aged women in the yard stepped forward, rolled up their sleeves, and got to work.

Yu Guifen wasn't annoyed; she smiled and followed along to help.

Before long, the food was divided into six portions, each weighing about seven or eight pounds.

After distributing the items to everyone.

Aunt Ye clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Everyone got theirs, are you all satisfied now?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied!" Yu Guifen hugged her share, beaming from ear to ear.

The other neighbors present also laughed and echoed.

But in the blink of an eye, Aunt Ye's smile vanished, and her face turned serious:

"I know everyone is happy, but there are a few unpleasant things I need to say upfront."

She paused, then looked around:

"Kaixin shared the goods with us at this price because he's kind-hearted and considerate of our neighbors."

"If anyone tries to follow Aunt Qian's example again, forget about being happy; I'll be the first to object. Understand?"

As soon as he said that, everyone in the courtyard fell silent for a moment.

"Sister Ye is right!" Yu Guifen was the first to agree. "Anyone who tries anything funny with Kaixin is going against the entire hospital!"

"That's right! Anyone who ends up like Aunt Qian will have a baby without an anus!" Zhu Xiaohua shouted, glancing cautiously in Li Kaixin's direction afterward.

She came with a try-it-and-see attitude, after all, she had offended Li Kaixin before, but she didn't expect that Li Kaixin didn't hold it against her at all, and now she just had a chance to please him.

The other neighbors, realizing what was happening, rushed to speak:

"That's right, that's right. If anyone causes trouble again, don't blame us for turning against them!"

"Don't worry, Sister Ye, we know what we're doing."

Just as the conversation in the courtyard was getting lively, Aunt Qian walked in through the front gate with disheveled hair and a dirty face.

Everyone felt a little embarrassed when they saw it, but when they looked down at the pile of things in their hands, their guilt lessened considerably.

Zhu Xiaohua didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile:

"Oh, Aunt Qian is back! We all owe you a lot today; you made sure we got a lot more good stuff."

"Zhu Xiaohua, what do you mean by this?" Aunt Qian's face turned ashen.

I was already angry because I was pulled and tugged by those people from No. 95 Courtyard outside.

Zhu Xiaohua feigned innocence, but her tone was sarcastic: "Thank you! What's wrong?"

As he spoke, he lifted the dried mutton in his hand higher.

"Look, I just distributed some dried mutton, only 50 cents a pound, so cheap! And there's a portion for you too!"

"You, you..." Aunt Qian pointed at her, too angry to speak.

Seeing this, the other neighbors couldn't help but twitch their lips, feeling a surge of contempt in their hearts. This wasn't the way to please Li Kaixin.

They just forgot that they had said quite a bit themselves.

"Alright, Zhu Xiaohua," Aunt Ye frowned and interrupted, "That's enough, shut up."

Zhu Xiaohua wanted to say something more, but was glared at by Aunt Ye, and then shut up with an embarrassed look on her face.

Then Aunt Ye turned to Aunt Qian and said in a flat tone, "Aunt Qian, go home! Be careful in the future."

Aunt Qian looked at everyone in the yard who were carrying things, and in the end, she didn't say anything more. She lowered her head and walked into her own house.

After everyone had walked away, Aunt Ye turned around, smiling as she handed over the money in her hand: "Kaixin, please count this money first."

"I trust Aunt Ye to get things done."

Li Kaixin replied, casually stuffing the item into his pocket, "Well, it's nothing else, I'll be going now."

As soon as Li Kaixin stepped out of courtyard number 94, he was met by several jeeps driving towards him.

As soon as the first car came to a stop, the door opened and the brothers Chen Yongtai and Chen Yong'an got out.

Several other cars stopped as well, and familiar faces such as Hong Guozhang and Chen Weidong got out of the cars.

"Happy brother, we meet again." Chen Yongtai strode over with a smile on his face.

Li Kaixin was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised: "Brother Yongtai, what's going on here?"

"Giving ginseng!" Chen Yongtai pulled a box from his pocket. "Brother Kaixin, you haven't forgotten what you promised the old men, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin was both amused and exasperated: "Brother Yongtai, are you guys in too much of a hurry?"

"How can we not be in a hurry?" Hong Guozhang chimed in with a smile. "The sooner it's delivered, the sooner the old man can use it."

"Alright!" Li Kaixin smiled helplessly. "Give me all the ginseng, and you can come pick up the medicine first thing tomorrow morning!"

Chen Yongtai and his group came and went in a hurry. After handing the ginseng to Li Kaixin, they got into their car and left without exchanging a few pleasantries.

After watching the jeeps leave, Li Kaixin hugged the pile of boxes in his arms and turned to enter the courtyard at No. 93.

Time flew by, and it was time for dinner. The family gathered around the table in the main room, drinking porridge.

Father Li Mingde put down his bowl and said, "Kaixin, your mother and I have to go to work tomorrow, so you'll have to deliver the things to your maternal grandmother's house."

Today, because Li Kaixin attended Grandpa Liu's birthday party, the things she brought back to give to her grandparents haven't been delivered yet.

"Okay, Dad!" Li Kaixin replied and finished the porridge in his bowl.

At this moment, the younger brother, Li Kai, turned his head and asked expectantly, "Big brother, can you still take me to school tomorrow?"

"Xiao Kai!" Father Li Mingde said sternly, "Your older brother has important business to attend to tomorrow, he won't have time to take you."

Li Kai, the younger brother, shrank back after being glared at by his father and didn't dare to say another word.

Li Kaixin didn't say anything this time either. He still had to wait for Chen Yongtai and the others to come and get the medicine tomorrow morning, so he really couldn't leave.

The next morning, a car horn woke Li Kaixin from her sleep.

Turning my head, I saw that the sky outside the window was just beginning to lighten.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yongtai's familiar voice came from outside the courtyard: "Brother Kaixin! Are you up yet?"

Li Kaixin put on her clothes and quickly walked out of the yard.

Several jeeps were parked at the entrance of the courtyard. Liu Jianming, Chen Yongtai, and a few others were standing by the cars, rubbing their hands together and breathing out white vapor.

"Brother Yongtai, you guys are up way too early," Li Kaixin greeted him with a smile. "It's not even dawn yet!"

"I was just thinking about getting my medicine."

Chen Yongtai chuckled, "When I told the old man last night, he urged me to come early this morning, afraid that I would be late."

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin immediately pulled out several small medicine bottles from his pocket: "Here, I've written labels on them, indicating which old man they belong to."

The main reason is that the ginseng sent by the old men were all from different years, so they had to be distinguished.

Chen Yongtai took the medicine bottle, then pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Kaixin's hand:

"Happy brother, this is the money the old men gave you for your medicine. See if it's enough."

"No need, no need!" Li Kaixin quickly pushed it back, "The side medicines are all worthless."

"That won't do!"

Chen Yongtai pushed the money back, saying, "You went to so much trouble to prepare the medicine; I can't let you work for nothing. Take it!"

The two went back and forth, but in the end Li Kaixin couldn't persuade him and had to accept it.

Seeing this, Chen Yongtai grinned and said, "That's more like it. We'll be going now, we'll find you for drinks another time!"

"Okay, Yongtai, take care." Li Kaixin waved to them.

Several jeeps quickly disappeared at the alley entrance.
