Chapter 259: The dog that licks the dog in this era has no good end (3)
Shuangshuang quickly responded, "Go, go, I'm worried now, and I need to get something to nourish my sister-in-law.
Sister Li, whenever you go, please be sure to take me with you."
"Okay, we plan to go tomorrow. These little brats are eating me out of my house. That year, their rations were only enough to last them twenty days.
So, get up early tomorrow morning and I'll call you before I leave."
"Okay, okay, thank you Sister Li."
When they got back, Shuangshuang told Yu Shenglan, "Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Li said they are going to a fellow villager's house to exchange things tomorrow.
I plan to go with them and see if I can exchange some eggs for you.
It would be even better if we could get some chickens in return."
Thanks to the private goods that Shuangshuang had smuggled in for her, Yu Shenglan is now in good health.
She thought it was because Shuangshuang took good care of her, so she was particularly grateful to Shuangshuang.
When he heard her say that she was going to exchange things with her fellow villagers, he quickly took out a few dozen dollars and gave them to Shuangshuang.
"Okay, go take a look and buy more if you can."
Both shook their heads and refused, "No need, sister-in-law, I haven't spent all the money you gave me last time."
Yu Shenglan forced the money on Shuangshuang. "Take it. Girls should have some spare money."
When the time comes, you can buy whatever you like, and you don’t have to save money for us.”
The next day, Shuangshuang got up, had dinner with Yu Shenglan, and then took a sack and went out.
When we arrived at Sister Li's house, Sister Zhang and Sister Wang were already there.
Not only did they take sacks, but each of them also had a local basket.
Shuangshuang apologized to them embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, sisters-in-law, I got up late."
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's not too late, you still have to take care of your sister-in-law, what's the big deal!"
Then they went out together and walked for half an hour before arriving at the village that Mrs. Li mentioned.
The few of them came to an old lady's house as if they were familiar with the place. When the old lady saw Shuangshuang and the others, she immediately smiled.
Generally speaking, seeing their military wives means that the villagers have income again.
"Everyone is here, come and sit down, what can I order today?"
Mrs. Zhang has always been outspoken, and when several people go out together, she usually acts as the spokesperson.
"Auntie, we mainly need food, and if there are eggs, we should get some early to feed the children.
Also, we have a military wife who is in confinement after childbirth. I wonder if you could spare us a few chickens?"
The reason why I asked about the chickens last is because old hens are used to lay eggs and they may not necessarily sell them.
Sure enough, the old lady hesitated when she heard that she wanted a chicken.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Then wait here for a while, I'll go ask for you first. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
It was said to be fast, and it was really fast. In less than ten minutes, the old lady came back in a hurry.
He didn't waste any time when he arrived and directly reported to several people the amount he could earn today.
"There are 120 eggs, two chickens, two ducks, 200 kilograms of grain, and a little more sweet potatoes."
There are two seasons of grain here, so there is always extra. The military wives will come to buy some after the grain is harvested.
Sister Li and the others pulled Shuangshuang aside and whispered, "Sister Shuangshuang, how many eggs do you want?"
Shuangshuang naturally knew the rules. She had just barged in and was definitely not allowed to report the quantity.
“Sisters-in-law, I don’t care.
You guys decide how much you want, I'll take the rest."
Several sisters-in-law nodded secretly, thinking she was a sensible person.
"Okay, then we'll divide the eggs equally among the four families, thirty eggs each.
The same goes for food, each family can get 50 kilograms.
As for the chicken and duck, you can take them all back to your sister-in-law to eat during her confinement. What do you think?"
Shuangshuang was very satisfied with the distribution. In fact, they got the better deal and got their share.
"Thank you, sisters-in-law. You can get more.
I still have some tickets here, I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative a few more times."
It was still Mrs. Zhang who answered in a carefree manner.
"It's okay, it's okay. There will be more next time. They just don't dare to take out more at once."
Since they all said so, Shuangshuang didn't pretend to be polite and refused.
As for sweet potatoes, there is no limit because of the high yield, so they all want more.
"As for sweet potatoes, we each need 200 kilograms to make sweet potato chips for the children as snacks.
How much do you want?"
Shuangshuang doesn’t like sweet potatoes very much, but everyone has gone through this, and she is no exception.
So I deliberately calculated it and said this.
"Then I'll also take 100 kilograms. My nephew is still young and can't eat too much. It should be enough for me and my sister-in-law."
Then they all gave their money to Mrs. Zhang and asked her to settle the account with the old lady.
Then I put the things in a sack, but it was a bit too much and not easy to carry.
The old lady was very generous, "It's okay, I'll find some people to take you back."
So the old lady shouted loudly outside.
"From the Shitou family, go call a few strong women to help these comrades get back."
Next, six people, including the old lady, came, and each person helped carry a sack.
Shuangshuang and her sisters-in-law only needed to take some light items back, such as eggs.
When they were about to reach the river where the original owner had the accident, Little Orange suddenly spoke up to remind them.
"Your Highness, Li Chenglan is in front. She's probably waiting for you on purpose."
Shuangshuang was a little surprised. "That's not right. This is different from the original owner's time. She definitely can't have a result with Kang Guoqing. Why is she still here?"
"Oh, who knows what she's thinking with her train of thought.
She's been banned from the stage these past two days, and I heard she might be ordered to retire. I guess she's in a bad mood, so she came to bother you."
"She's still giving me trouble? I was thinking of waiting until I leave here before giving her trouble!
But since I'm here, I might as well take revenge.
Little Orange, go give her some of Yueyueshu."
"How many more do you want?"
"Because only in this way can she make mistakes under impulse."
Soon, a group of people saw Li Chenglan from afar and rushed towards Shuangshuang angrily.
She was yelling and screaming like a mad woman, without any of the grace and composure she had on stage.
"Qin Shuanglin! Why did you do this? Why did you want to hurt me?
What good will it do you to hurt me like this!"
Shuangshuang watched her go crazy leisurely and deliberately provoked her.
“It doesn’t matter what benefits you get, as long as you are not doing well, I will be happy!
Li Chenglan, no matter how you plot or how despicable the means you use.
In the end, Kang Guoqing still doesn't want to marry you. That's not a good feeling, right?"
Sure enough, these words made Li Chenglan's face distorted with anger.
With the help of Yueyueshu, he suddenly lost his mind.
He rushed towards Shuangshuang regardless of everything.
