"Sure." Chen Zhengyu did not reject.
With three days, he could ripen more pumpkins.
Next time, he could exchange for more things.
After Chen Zhengyu left, the person who had been silent before finally spoke.
"Who is the other party? Will there be any trouble?"
"It's fine. He's just a hothead. If he really wanted to cause trouble for us, he wouldn't have used the pumpkin to exchange for flour.”Hou San shook his head and said calmly.
With his eyes trained in the black market, he could not say that he was 100% sure, but he was confident that he was 70% to 80% sure.
He could tell that the other party was acting, but so what?
They were all children of the pugilistic world.
Moreover, he was not afraid that Chen Zhengyu would bring people to look for trouble. In his line of work, who did not have three to five places to stay?
Today, he was called Hou San, but tomorrow, he might be called Zhang Si.
Chen Zhengyu walked out of the door and delivered the flour to the warehouse of the game farm. Then, he carried the empty basket and continued to wander around the black market.
This time, he did not buy anything. He just wanted to take a look and broaden his horizons.
Only when the crowd began to disperse did he rush home unhurriedly.
However, when he entered the courtyard, he had already put the eggs and flour into the basket.
"Aiyo!"
The next second, a soft body crashed into his arms. Caught off guard, the basket in his hand fell to the ground. At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and the streets were still cold and empty. There were not many people.
Chen Zhengyu took two steps back before he could clearly see the person who bumped into him.
"So it's Sister-in-law Jia. Where are you in a hurry to go?”
Qin Huairu was holding a jar in one hand and clutching her chest with the other. One could still see a hint of panic on her face.
"Brother…Brother Chen Er."
"You should just call me by my name. These two brothers don't sound very good.”
Chen Zhengyu shook his head and squatted down to clean up the basket.
He took the flour bag away and could clearly see that several eggs inside had already broken.
Qin Huairu had originally wanted to tease him, but when she saw this scene, she was dumbfounded.
Then, she felt a little dizzy.
Eggs?
And she accidentally broke it?
Chen Zhengyu cleaned up the broken eggs. There were a total of six broken eggs.
Looking at the broken egg, he frowned.
If it was an ordinary family, they would definitely not be willing to throw away the broken ones. Even if they were stained with soil, they would still clean them up.
However, Chen Zhengyu was used to his life in the future. Now that he had the game farm, he looked down on it.
"Sister-in-law, I was a little anxious just now, but you didn't look where you were going. How about we split the broken eggs and each of us bear three?”
Although he didn't care about the eggs, it was obviously impossible to pretend that nothing had happened.
Generosity was sometimes seen as weakness.
"I, I'll bear three?"
Qin Huairu's face turned pale.
Who didn't know that eggs were precious these days?
Moreover, her family's situation was especially special.
Her husband had died less than half a year ago, and she had just given birth to a younger daughter. She had a mother-in-law, a son, and an elder daughter at home.
Although the factory took care of her and let her replace her husband's quota to enter the rolling mill, she received the minimum wage.
The livelihood of the whole family was on her shoulders, and the days were tight.
As for the eggs, the last time he had them was when he had just given birth to his little daughter. As a special needs person, he had received two catties of eggs from the street office.
But in fact, most of the eggs had gone into the stomachs of his son and eldest daughter.
She couldn't bear to eat it.
And now, she had to pay for three eggs?
Where did she get the eggs?
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have eggs. I just exchanged these eggs in Pigeon City. I'll convert them to 25 cents per egg, so three eggs are 75 cents.”
Chen Zhengyu seemed to have seen through her thoughts and spoke again.
Upon hearing Chen Zhengyu's words, Qin Huairu muttered silently,'My heart is blackened.'
Twenty-five cents for an egg?
Why didn't he go rob them?
If they bought it with egg tickets, it would only cost 50 cents per catty.
Eggs were small these days, about ten per catty.
It was equivalent to five cents.
It had increased by five times when it came to her?
A grown man only knows how to bully a widow.
Even though Qin Huairu was unhappy, she still forced a smile.
"Chen…Brother Zhengyu, how about this? When my family gives out egg coupons at the end of the year, I'll buy them and return them to you.”
She was unwilling to spend 75 cents on three eggs.
There was a difference of 60 cents.
He could buy dozens of catties of cabbage.
"The end of the year?"
Chen Zhengyu dragged his words out and rejected Qin Huairu's offer firmly under her expectant gaze.
"No!"
"You, you went to the black market to buy eggs. Aren't you afraid that I'll report you?”Qin Huairu said angrily.
Of course, she was just saying it casually.
"You can go."
Chen Zhengyu said calmly.
Since he dared to say it in front of her, he was not afraid that she would report him.
There was no evidence, unless her family did not want to live in this courtyard anymore.
After all, which family didn't have a difficult time?
He had never been to Pigeon City?
"I don't have money."
Qin Huairu had no other choice and decided to act shamelessly.
"If you don't have money, you can use other things to pay for it.”Chen Zhengyu sized up the other party and smiled.
"Sure, if you're not afraid that your father will break your legs, come at me.”
Qin Huairu glared at him and puffed up her chest.
"Heh."
Chen Zhengyu chuckled and simply walked past the other party with the basket. However, his faint voice reached Qin Huiru's ears.
"You wish."
"Seeing that we're all living in the same courtyard, I'll give you a grace period until the end of the year. However, by then, it won't be three eggs, but six.”
Qin Huairu only came back to her senses after Chen Zhengyu's figure disappeared.
"He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks decent. I didn't expect him to be black-hearted. I don't think he should be called Chen Zhengyu.”
Qin Huairu flew into a rage out of humiliation as she grumbled hatefully.
Then, she glanced at the broken egg that Chen Zhengyu had thrown to the side. Unfortunately, it had already completely seeped into the soil. Even if she wanted to save it, it was already too late.
This made her heart ache even more.
When Chen Zhengyu returned home, he found Grandma cleaning up the house.
Or rather, Grandma had not slept since he left.
There was actually nothing much to tidy up at home. There were only some half-new and half-old belongings. Moreover, because there were few places to stay, no matter how they tidied up, it looked messy.
At the same time, Zhang Xiuzhen and her sister-in-law also woke up.
At this moment, whether it was the new daughter-in-law or the old daughter-in-law, if they wanted to sleep until late in the morning or let their mother-in-law bring the food to the bed, they were simply overthinking.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Seeing Chen Zhengyu, Grandma's worried heart finally relaxed.
"It's my first time going to Pigeon Market, so I couldn't help but walk around. Here, I bought some flour and eggs.”
Chen Zhengyu looked at Grandma fawningly and placed the basket on the table.
Grandma didn't pay much attention to what she bought, but Zhang Xiuzhen and Yang Fangfang widened their eyes in unison.
Flour?
Eggs?
However, the former felt heartache and thought that Chen Zhengyu had spent all the money she gave him.
As for the latter, it was pure happiness.
With flour and eggs, could he roll noodles and make a poached egg?
"It's my good grandson's ability that allowed me to buy flour and eggs.”
