Several people were eagerly asking Xia Qing about the situation. The main issue now was that while the villagers could grow crops, selling them was the most difficult part.

Selling online would be a losing proposition for these villagers, as the shipping costs would eat into their profits. Farming was already hard work.

Most of the villagers in this village sold their produce in the county town, or further away in the surrounding cities.

“Okay, I’ll contact you again when I have more information. I’ll let you know what’s needed!”

Xia Qing hadn’t expected her purchase of over a thousand pounds of sweet potatoes to be met with such enthusiasm.

The bride, Wang Sisi, was left standing to the side.

Thinking that she wouldn’t need to be a bridesmaid tomorrow, she didn’t need to attend the wedding.

She was busy with a lot of things! So she gave Wang Sisi 200 yuan in advance as a gift. She was feeling flush with cash right now, and besides, she would be even richer in the future. This 200 yuan was really nothing.

She had tens of thousands of yuan in hand now! And she would have more in the future.

In the village, for people who were not relatives, giving 50 yuan as a gift was common.

In the city, the minimum was 200 yuan, and usually, it started at 500 yuan.

Wang Sisi had been a little uncomfortable seeing that Xia Qing’s skin had become even more beautiful than her own. But now, seeing that she had given her 200 yuan as a gift, she wasn’t unhappy anymore.

She enthusiastically chatted with Xia Qing. Indeed, money could bring you more emotional satisfaction!

In the afternoon, when she returned home, Xia Jicheng and Yang Xia were waiting for her, along with her Old Grandma.

Xia Qing hadn’t even entered the yard when Yang Xia couldn’t wait to ask:

“Qingqing, I heard you bought sweet potatoes from Wu Erniang’s three mu of land? And potatoes from the Sun family’s two mu?”

It was true that news spread fast in the village. If anything happened to any family, the whole village would know within a few hours.

“Yes, I have a friend in Shanghai. I’m back this time to buy vegetables for him.”

“Didn’t I buy all the watermelons and tomatoes grown on our family’s several mu of land? I also asked my dad to plant cabbage, and I’ll buy that too.”

Over there in the apocalyptic world, they couldn’t grow anything on their land, so they definitely needed a lot of food.

“Daughter, you really are a big blessing to our family! It’s so hard to sell vegetables now, this saves us a lot of trouble!”

Otherwise, they would have to haul the vegetables to the county town early in the morning to sell them.

Vegetables were more expensive in the morning, but in the afternoon or evening, the prices would drop again.

Now, the harvests were getting better year by year, but the prices were getting cheaper year by year. They, the farmers, were getting poorer and poorer.

If it weren’t for the young people in the village going to the city to work, things would be even worse.

Xia Qing was buying everything, saving them so many trips.

“Dad, when the time comes, collect everything and take it to the warehouse in the county town. I have the address, I’ll go with you.”

“Okay, great! I knew I didn’t raise my daughter for nothing by sending her to university. You would definitely have a better future in the city,” Xia Jicheng said with a smile that couldn’t be wider.

“After a while, I’ll buy you a tractor, so you won’t have to work so hard farming,” Xia Qing said with a smile.

“That tractor isn’t cheap, it costs tens of thousands!” Xia Jicheng still felt bad about spending the money. These days, machinery was expensive.

“Qingqing! You have a way to buy sweet potatoes, shouldn’t you help your own family first? Your uncle’s family is also growing a mu of land! That’s at least over a thousand pounds,” the Old Lady came over and said.

“But Qingqing has already bought so much, do you still need to buy more?” Yang Xia said with a frown. She heard that Qingqing had already given Wu Erniang a deposit.

If she bought too much and couldn’t sell it, Qingqing would lose money! She was afraid that her daughter would lose money.

“Then cancel the order from Wu Erniang’s family and buy your uncle’s first,” the Old Lady said without caring.

“Canceling is impossible, I’ve already paid the deposit! How about this, I’ll order again in a few days.”

Xia Qing said. She also needed to check with Su Yu to see how much more he needed.

The Old Lady immediately became unhappy when she heard Xia Qing’s words, and her whole face became sharp.

“Why in a few days? Qingqing, that’s your uncle, shouldn’t you order from your uncle first instead of other people? What kind of behavior is that?”

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t order, can’t I order in a few days?”

Xia Qing said with a sigh. Her grandma was too biased.

“Then give me a 500 yuan deposit, I’ll give it to your uncle, and let’s finalize your uncle’s sweet potatoes first.”

Xia Qing didn’t lack this 500 yuan, but she disliked her grandma’s attitude.

“I really don’t have any money, I’ll only have money after I sell all the sweet potatoes I’ve bought! Besides, my uncle is family, so it doesn’t matter if there’s no deposit!”

“You gave Wu Erniang a 500 yuan deposit, but you won’t give it to your own family? Xia Qing, that’s your own uncle!”

Xia Jicheng, seeing that his mother was about to argue with his daughter again, stepped in as a peacemaker and said, “Qingqing, you’re tired all day, go upstairs quickly.”

The Old Lady wouldn’t have it and wanted to grab Xia Qing, she wanted her to pay the deposit today.

“I’ll pay, I’ll pay this 500 yuan deposit.” In order to avoid an argument, which might make the Old Lady angry and faint, his elder brother would definitely blame their family for not taking good care of the Old Lady.

Then outsiders would gossip again.

Xia Qing had just transferred more than 7,000 yuan to him yesterday!

“Then give it to me now.” The Old Lady wouldn’t be at ease until she had the money in her hand.

“A Xia, go get Mom 500 yuan in cash.”

Yang Xia managed the money at home, although Yang Xia was also very unwilling.

“But Qingqing hasn’t confirmed whether she’s buying or not, what if she loses money if she doesn’t buy?” Yang Xia was still very concerned about her daughter.

How could Xia Jicheng not understand this reasoning? If his mother started making a scene, it would cause a commotion for half a day, and maybe she would stay in their house for the next month and not go to their eldest brother’s house.

“Hurry up.”

Although Yang Xia was unhappy, their family always had to suffer losses! There were two brothers in the family, and two elder sisters and one younger sister.

Only their family had to suffer losses every time!

But thinking about the incident that happened last time, the Old Lady stayed in their house for an extra half a month, causing her a lot of trouble.

Just treat this money as spending money to avoid disaster! But it was 500 yuan, which was more than their family spent in a month.

The Old Lady’s face turned from gloomy to sunny after she got the money, and she went out cheerfully.

Yang Xia frowned and looked gloomy as she watched the Old Lady leave happily.

“The old lady is getting old, don’t argue with her!” Xia Jicheng quickly said, seeing his wife’s unhappy look.

“What if our daughter loses money?”

“Let’s just treat it as spending money to avoid disaster! Qingqing gave us a lot more money for the vegetables, I’ll pay for it, just treat it as spending money to avoid disaster.”

“I can’t stand the noise now.”

The two of them thought of the Old Lady’s commotion before, and the whole village came to laugh at them, and they both fell silent.

Xia Qing went upstairs. Her phone had been ringing non-stop all afternoon, with people casting recommendation votes and leaving comments for her.

It seemed that the novel was a hit. The food in the space was also cleared out. She quickly entered the space and told Su Yu that she wanted all the novels from the bookstore last time.
