Two hundred and fifty-nine
"Your family?" Su Ru looked at the small sweet potato in her hand and frowned, "I want to buy rice, I don't want sweet potatoes." β
Sweet potatoes are too much gas, anyway, when she went out, her mother basically gave her all the money in her hand, and she was not short of money to sell food.
"I, I have rice at home!" Fang Cao said immediately, as if she was afraid that she would not believe it, and said seriously, "I really have rice at home, I swear!
"Really?" Su Ru's face was full of surprise, she didn't expect this Fang Cao to look so poor, and there was still fine grain at home, "Then why don't you sell rice?"
When she was watching those people trading just now, she found that the rice on the black market had grown to a piece of five pounds, which was a very scarce grain, and some people shouted that two yuan a pound were rushing for someone to buy, but the people in the city who were covered by sweet potatoes did not like to eat much, so the price was also cheap, a few cents more expensive than the grain station, and if you sell it for money, rice is always better than sweet potatoes, right?
"......" Fang Cao fell silent, as if there was something unspeakable.
Su Ru is not that interested in exploring other people's secrets, since this little girl has food at home, she doesn't have to bother looking around for the black market, and it is convenient to get there.
"Okay, I'll buy your rice, where is your house? Take me there." β
Su Ru said directly.
Fang Cao showed a smile at this time, maybe because Su Ru had saved her just now, so he trusted her, and directly picked up the backpack and walked towards her home.
After walking for half an hour, Su Ru followed Fang Cao to a shantytown.
Standing in the place where these sheds were built, Su Ru looked at the stumbling sheds and the rags piled up together, and realized that it was even more difficult to forgive people in this era than she imagined.
The people in the city don't seem to be as glamorous as they think.
For example, people like Fang Cao, who live in shantytowns, are not the same as city people?
But in fact, the kind of shed she lives in can't withstand the heat of summer and the bitter cold of winter.
People who would live in such a place, will there really be rice?
Su Ru began to feel a little naΓ―ve......
Turning all the way, Fang Cao stopped in a place that was half a shed and half a wall.
"This is my home. She smiled and looked happy, "You're the first friend I brought, let's go in and talk." β
She lifted the shabby door curtain and stood outside to invite Su Ru in.
Su Ru paused, thinking that with his current skills, he was not afraid of what bad intentions Fangcao could use, so he raised his feet and walked in.
It is about 10 square meters, and although it is narrow, it is very clean and tidy.
There was a ladder-like bunk bed, neatly stacked on top, and a pale woman sat on the bottom.
Seeing Fang Cao come in with a female doll, the woman seemed to be surprised, and Fang Cao hurriedly said, "Mom, this is my sister who wants to buy our rice." β
The woman frowned and looked at Su Ru, as if she didn't believe that such a young child could run out and sell things on her own.
Don't be spies sent by those people.
Sensing the woman's vigilance, Su Ru showed a harmless smile, "Auntie, I'm really here to buy food, my brother and my little uncle will also come over, don't worry, I won't fool you." β
The woman seemed to be reluctant to believe it, and then asked, "How much grain are you going to buy?
"Mom, you can give this little sister a cheaper, if she hadn't saved me just now, I might have been caught. Fang Cao hurriedly said aloud.
The woman looked at her nervously, "You were almost caught, did you have an accident?"
Fang Cao shook her head honestly, she had been scared so weak before, it wasn't that she twisted her foot as Su Ru thought, so she didn't suffer any damage.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked at Su Ru, she was a little less guarded, and said, "Little sister, thank you for saving my family's grass, I can cheapen you for two cents according to the market price, and you can give me a piece of three." β
"Auntie, how much grain can your family sell me?" Su Ru looked at this ten-square-meter place, which really didn't look like a place where too much grain could be placed.
The woman smiled, "How much do you want?"
"Two thousand catties of grain, is there one?" Su Ru looked at her with a confident look, it seems that this family also has secrets, this woman's appearance clearly means that her family has a lot of food!
"Two thousand catties?" the woman looked at her in surprise and pulled out a reluctant smile, "Little sister, don't be joking. β
Su Ru was about to speak, when suddenly a rough voice came to mind outside the door.
"Yo, why aren't you dead yet! What about that little slut? Hurry up and let her go to my house to wash clothes! I don't know what time it is, my clothes haven't been washed yet!
The curtain of the door was rudely opened, and a tall, stout woman with a square face who had been working hard at first glance walked in without saying hello.
When she saw Su Ru, she said sarcastically, "Sick and tuberculosis, wouldn't your poor relatives come to the door to fight the autumn breeze again......?"
"Ahem...... Wu Xiu, there are guests in my house now, don't make trouble, go out first. The woman looked at the square-faced woman with a look of disgust, "My family won't wash your clothes, get out of here!"
Wu Xiu, a square-faced woman, was happy when she heard this, "Yo! You're still holding on to your face! Mourning Star, didn't you beg me to adopt your little bastard before? What's wrong with this? Someone is going to pretend to be Sven with the old lady again, right?"
Su Ru clasped her arms in her hands and watched the excitement from the sidelines.
Apparently there is a feud between these two women.
This square-faced woman's aggressive appearance made her look inconspicuous, and she felt like Qiu Lin and the old lady before, and her speech was very ugly.
The woman's face turned paler by what she said, but she clutched the quilt tightly and did not dare to refute.
Su Ru felt strange, what was the reason, this mother would actually ask the square-faced woman with a bad temper to adopt Fang Cao.
Aren't you worried that Fang Cao will be abused by this kind of person?
Wu Xiu...... Ahem...... You go out first. The woman grimaced, "I'll talk about it later, I don't have time to talk to you." β
Wu Xiu smiled, but opened his mouth and scolded, "Sick tuberculosis ghost, I'll put this here today, I don't care who you ask for that little wild seed in your family, anyway, my family will never adopt such a money-losing goods!
Wu Xiu dropped this sentence, and regardless of the woman's suddenly pale face, she walked out triumphantly.
Su Ru was about to open her mouth to comfort the woman, when she saw Fang Cao leading her little uncle into the house, and when the little uncle saw the woman on the bed, his face suddenly changed greatly!
