Chapter 66: Black Market Old Lady 3

The old lady was relieved and her face was overjoyed. So she discussed with Jiang Qingwan whether she could wait for a while. She didn't have enough money on hand now and had to go home to get it.

Jiang Qingwan agreed. Since the old lady said that her home was not far from here, she didn't care about the extra time. Anyway, there was still some time before the oxcart returned to the village, so she followed the mother and son to her home.

The alley where the old lady lived was in the downtown area, and people came and went during the day. The old lady warmly greeted Jiang Qingwan and went directly to her home, saying that there were too many people outside.

Jiang Qingwan thought for a while and agreed. It was indeed easy to be discovered when trading outside, and she was not afraid of the mother and son playing tricks.

On the way, I met some neighbors whom the old lady was familiar with. They looked at Jiang Qingwan behind the old lady with gossipy faces and asked the old lady whose daughter this was.

The old lady just mentioned casually that it was the granddaughter of a distant cousin who came to deliver something. After that, she walked home quickly, not wanting to waste time with these gossiping old ladies.

When Jiang Qingwan entered the old lady's house, she saw that the vegetables in the yard were growing very well, which was a testament to the family's hard work.

There is an old man sitting on a small bench at the door of the hall, basking in the sun. He must be the old lady's wife.

The old lady asked Jiang Qingwan to sit in the main room, and took the old man and his son, who had not yet recovered, into the daughter-in-law's bedroom. After discussing it for a while, she saw the old lady's son hurriedly out the door.

The old lady came out to talk to Jiang Qingwan and brought some tea to Jiang Qingwan.

Within ten minutes, the old lady's son ran back sweating profusely, carefully took out a stack of cents from his pocket and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady also carefully counted the scattered cents in front of Jiang Qingwan, totaling 5 yuan and 6 cents, and then handed them to Jiang Qingwan.

Afterwards, Jiang Qingwan successfully completed the transaction, and faced the old lady's family's many thanks, and quickly said goodbye and left the old lady's house.

After Jiang Qingwan left, the old lady's family still looked excited. After a while, several men about the same age as the old lady's son came.

These are the sons of the old lady. Although they have separated their families, they will still come to the old lady's house to discuss things together.

The money just came from several families. In addition to leaving about a pound of brown sugar for the daughter-in-law, the old lady only left a little over two pounds of flour, Fuqiang powder and a dozen eggs.

For the other things, the old lady asked her sons to inquire about the buyers. She made a lot of money from this transaction, and after making up for the money she had raised before, she divided the money equally among her sons.

One of the sons sold something to the workshop team leader who was in urgent need of fine grain. Because of this incident, the team leader later gave this son his place as a full-time employee.

After the old lady found out, she looked at her precious grandson who was getting more and more beautiful, and kept thinking at home that she really met a living Bodhisattva that day.

Because Jiang Qingwan had been delayed for too long in the black market, she gave up the idea of ​​going to the junkyard to hunt for treasures, thinking that she would have many opportunities to come to the town after the separation.

When Jiang Qingwan arrived at the place where the oxcart was parked, the oxcart was about to leave at about the same time. At this time, there were already some aunts and sisters-in-law on the car who were going back from their morning trip.
