Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Patrol Team

“I’m telling you, you didn’t collect the wrong amount. Someone stole two shawls.”

Su Wen told little sister Su what had happened earlier, not treating her as a clueless child just because she was young.

Chen Weimin was dumbfounded as he watched from the side. He thought to himself, “The Su family’s eldest is really eloquent.”

She was too good at talking. He had sold things so many times but had never seen someone as persuasive as the Su family’s eldest daughter.

Not only was she articulate, but she also did things with a sense of propriety.

The thief was a repeat offender. She often came to steal, and if she was caught, she would bite back and report the person to take advantage of the loopholes.

Everyone was well aware of this, but they could only endure it.

“Su family’s eldest, not bad!” Chen Weimin praised sincerely.

“Big brother Chen, you’re too polite.” Su Wen smiled humbly, her heart as clear as a mirror.

Chen Weimin had indeed seen it when something had been stolen.

…

At noon, the two sisters bought three steamed buns to fill their stomachs, and little sister Su ate them with great relish. When she was thirsty, she would drink the water she had brought.

However, Su Wen had been very picky since she was young. She didn’t like drinking water and drank very little.

She was thinking about going back to the mountains to pick some wild fruits and make some fruit tea.

After asking Chen Weimin, she found out that there were wild kiwis, snake fruits, hawthorn, honeysuckle, and persimmon trees in the mountains.

Su Wen’s heart burst with joy.

There were not many people in the black market in the afternoon, and the peak hour only arrived at four or five o’clock.

Su Wen shouted at the top of her lungs for a long time and sold 21 pairs of sleeve guards. Because one of them bought a lot, they even gifted two shawls.

It made the customers smile and praise Su Wen’s business skills, saying that she would take care of her business in the future.

“The patrol is here.”

With a loud roar, the people in the black market picked up their things and ran away quickly like frightened rabbits.

Little sister Su was so scared that her face turned pale, and she helped Su Wen pack up in a hurry.

The group of people who were running away almost knocked down little sister Su. Fortunately, Su Wen was quick to grab her.

“It’s too late. Let’s leave the things.”

Seeing that the escape route was blocked by tofu and egg sellers, Su Wen was extremely decisive. She grabbed the small cloth bag that was used to keep the earnings and pulled little sister Su as she ran.

“Sleeve guards, shawls.” Little sister Su’s heart ached so much that tears kept falling. She followed Su Wen and ran desperately while crying.

To her, these were all made by Big sister and Second sister, who had stayed up all night. Each of them was made up of their blood, sweat, and tears.

Losing them like this was even more painful than cutting her flesh.

“It’s okay. It’s not worth much.”

Su Wen didn’t even blink. To her, that day’s income had already met her requirements. It was not worth it to be caught for those things.

Moreover, they were secretly selling things, so they couldn’t let the villagers know. According to what she understood, the grandparents of the seven Su sisters, as well as her second and third aunts, were not good people.

If she and her little sister were caught, those people would definitely kick them when they were down.

…

After successfully escaping but also losing the sleeve guards and shawls, they quickly went home.

On the way back, they passed by a pork stall. Because there was only a little left, the boss didn’t want any tickets, so Su Wen bought 2.5 catties of bones and 7 taels a catty of streaky pork.

They spent a total of 2.5 yuan.

The main reason was that streaky meat was expensive, while bones were cheap.

Nowadays, everyone’s stomach was lacking in oil. There was only a little meat on the bones. Without any oil, no one cared for it.

2.5 catties only cost fifty cents. It was the first time the meat seller had encountered someone who mainly wanted tubular bones, and Su Wen had left a deep impression on him.

“Come, let’s go home.”

Carrying the heavy bones and meat, little sister Su finally stopped crying. She broke into a smile and was already fantasizing about what meat would taste like.

It would definitely be delicious.

They walked back, feeling invigorated.

When they arrived at Trinity village, the sky had just turned dark. The two sisters happened to meet their third aunt, Chen Guihua, at the entrance of the village.
