Chapter 197 Original Sin 6
Of course, Hao Laosan was just momentarily surprised. Although these mushrooms were hard to pick, they weren’t impossible to find. Besides, Yun Shuangshuang’s words pleased him. Everyone had kids, and who wouldn’t like a filial child? It was rare for a child to have a crazy mother yet not dislike her, which made him like her even more.
"Hey! No need for money, you’re just a little kid and don’t take up much space. Come on up, I’ll give you a ride. Just don’t wander off by yourself, remember to stick with the uncles and brothers on the truck so you won’t get lost." Hao Laosan tapped his pipe and spoke with great enthusiasm.
Yun Shuangshuang quickly thanked him profusely, letting out a big sigh of relief inside. She didn’t have a single cent, although she knew where her grandma, Wang Guixiang, hid money at home. But whether in her past life or this one, stealing was something she didn’t want to do!
Even luckier, an uncle from her village on the tractor also offered to let Yun Shuangshuang put her stuff on his stall to sell together, saving her the stall fee. Naturally, Yun Shuangshuang thanked him profusely again.
The tractor was slow, taking over an hour to reach the place even though it was just a few minutes away in modern times. The country roads were not easy to travel on, being paved with gravel and a bit bumpy.
The town’s vegetable market was concentrated in a street alley on the east side. After getting off the tractor, the people, familiar with the place, each found a spot to sell their vegetables by looking for an empty space, one next to another. This was an unwritten rule, with people from the same village sticking together.
They pulled a plastic sheet from their baskets and spread it on the ground, then took the vegetables out to arrange neatly. The adults’ baskets were huge, which could more accurately be called baskets, and the vegetables were enough to fill the plastic sheet in front of them completely when laid out.
Yun Shuangshuang also had a piece of plastic sheet. After spreading it out, she took all the mushrooms from her basket and arranged them neatly. Yun Shuangshuang didn’t have many mushrooms, only about a pound or two of each kind, making just a small pile when displayed.
When almost all the market spaces were occupied by villagers selling vegetables, the person collecting stall fees started going stall to stall. When they got to Yun Shuangshuang, without needing an explanation from the person beside her, the fee collector assumed she was with them and didn’t charge Yun Shuangshuang for a stall fee.
The people in town, used to eating various fungi from the mountains, quickly came over to inquire about the price upon seeing Yun Shuangshuang’s mushrooms. Yun Shuangshuang was also worried about not being able to sell them. Each basket was worth around six to seven yuan because they looked really good.
