Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill Chapter 138 - 138 138 My 50 yuan is still here what about

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: My 50 yuan is still here, what about yours? Chapter 138: Chapter 138: My 50 yuan is still here, what about yours? After several days and nights, the four of them finally arrived in Yangcheng in the morning.

As the train traveled southward, the temperature beca increasingly warm. They started out wearing cotton-padded jackets and pants, but ended up in just shirts and trousers.

As soon as the train arrived at the station, they imdiately felt the intense heat of Yangcheng.

They were afraid of being separated by the crowd, so they tightly circled Su Nian in the middle for protection while following the throng toward the exit.

“My heavens, is this Yangcheng?”

“There are so many people.”

Standing at the train station, they curiously observed the bustling crowd and the vehicles coming and going.

“Second sister-in-law, where are we headed?”

Xiao Sun and the three big n stared at Susu eagerly for an answer, “Let’s find a guesthouse to put our things down, then go out to eat. After we’ve eaten, we’ll go check out the wholesale market today.”

They found a guesthouse near the train station.

“Comrade, what’s the price for a room?”

“It’s two yuan a night for a big bunk bed room. A standard room is five yuan a night.”

The attendant lay lazily on the desk.

“We’ll take two standard rooms.”

As soon as Su Nian spoke, Su and Xiao Sun quickly said, “Second sister-in-law, the two of us can stay in the big room to save so money.”

“No need, it’s not that much more.”

Susu ignored them and decisively booked two adjoining standard rooms.

After they put their clothes away, they stepped out, naturally carrying their valuables on them.

Then, the four of them entered a roast goose restaurant, ordering the local specialty roast goose along with four bowls of soup rice.

Just slling it, their stomachs were already growling loudly.

Susu had heard about the local delicacies in her previous life, like roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, and such. She hadn’t had a chance to try them before, but now that she was here, she had to taste them.

“Mmm, delicious.”

“Really fragrant.”

…

After a hearty al, it was noon and the sun was quite hot.

During the al, Su Chengming and Xiao Sun wanted to pay, but found it inconvenient to access their money on the spot and thought about going outside to get it to pay.

Susu stopped them, “Cheng He, Xiao Sun, no need. I brought you here to help out, I can’t let you pay.

Besides, I’ve read in the newspapers and heard there are a lot of thieves here who are adept at snatching, even many people who stay in hotels and guesthouses get robbed clean.”

Su Chengming and Xiao Sun were stunned, “Second sister-in-law, is that true? Are there so many thieves, and nobody takes care of it?”

“Even if they want to, they can’t keep up with them all. By the ti you report it to the police, the thieves have long since run off with your money. It’s impossible to catch them.

I’ve heard there are many gangs operating here, even ones that specialize in training won and children. A lot of people lower their guard when they see won and children.

By the ti you realize your money and belongings are gone, it’s already too late. So, when you’re out and about, always stay vigilant. It’s not a bad thing to be cautious.”

Lu Xiaoting nodded, “Your sister-in-law is right. You guys need to be more careful. Bad people don’t have ‘I’m a bad person’ written on their faces.”

“Mhm, we got it.”

Su Chenghe and Xiao Sun looked at each other with serious nods.

After being well-fed and with the sun at its hottest at noon, there was no rush. They went back to the guesthouse to rest and take a nap.

As soon as Su Chenghe and Xiao Sun entered their room, they imdiately locked the door and propped a chair against it before they felt secure enough to lie down.

Susu lay down with her man by her side and soon fell asleep.

The guesthouse front desk attendant watched the four people coming and going and sneered, wondering what they were up to.

Looking at their attire, they probably weren’t there to stock up on goods or do business.

Susu and her companions had to take two different buses after asking around before they finally reached their destination—the wholesale market.

“My God, it’s huge.”

“So many people?”

Lu Xiaoting was closely guarding his wife, “Wife, what should we do?”

“Let’s take a look around first, check out the prices and quality and all. We ought to compare goods from at least three stores. For now, let’s just note down which ones give us the best deal including quality and style.”

After saying that, the four of them strolled from one shop to another in each district. There was a lot of stuff not available back in their hotown, and so items were similar to those sold in the Departnt Store but at a drastically lower price.

“Boss, how do we pick up these clothes?”

“Depends on how much you take, of course, the more you take, the cheaper it gets. Over there, fifty pieces are between 3-6 yuan each, over a hundred pieces are between 2.5 to 5 yuan each. Over two hundred pieces, prices range from 2 to 4.5 yuan each.”

Susu nodded, the quality seed quite good, “Alright, boss, we’ll keep looking.”

The boss didn’t pay much attention to them. Every day lots of people co to ask, and quite a few don’t buy.

He didn’t think these few people were capable of taking a big order, so he didn’t care too much.

As they continued browsing, they roughly noted down the stores with suitable prices and quality, so places, however, were quite expensive for just average quality goods.

After walking through all the shops on one street, encountering a few of those arrogant and unresponsive shopkeepers, Susu couldn’t be bothered with them and just walked away.

For partnerships, you’ve got to work with people you click with. You can’t force it.

Different sectors within the wholesale market sold different kinds of goods.

Especially in the clothing sector, it was extrely crowded with throngs of people everywhere.

Inside, many were carrying big and small bags or pushing carts filled with them. They were all wholesalers.

“Ah.”

“Ouch, sorry sorry, miss, I’m really sorry, I didn’t see you there. Are you alright?”

A woman carrying a big bag quickly turned around to apologize with a strong northeastern accent.

Susu smiled, “It’s fine, I wasn’t looking either, too busy looking at both sides. I can tell from your accent, you’re from the northeast, right?”

“Wow, miss, how did you know?”

The woman scratched her head, “I thought I didn’t have an accent.”

Susu couldn’t help but laugh, holding her stomach, “We’re from ng Province, not too far from the Three Eastern Provinces, I recognized it right away.”

“My goodness, you must have been on the train for a long ti, right?”

Susu nodded, “Exactly, even now when I lie down to sleep, I feel like I’m on the train, swaying back and forth.”

…

The four of them shopped till it got dark, then went out to eat before returning.

“Cheng He, Xiao Sun, don’t sleep too deeply. I’m worried soone might try to break in through the door or windows. You’ve got money on you too, so be careful.”

“They can break in through the windows?” Both were shocked.

“What’s so strange about that? It’s not very high up to the second floor, and the pros are very skilled at this.”

“Alright, we’ll be careful.”

Staying out ant limited facilities, so Susu could only wash her face and quickly rinse her feet.

Lu Xiaoting arranged his wife’s shoes before getting into bed, “Wife, you sleep tight, I’m usually a light sleeper when we’re outside. I’ll wake up at the slightest noise.”

Susu frowned, “This habit of yours is both good and bad. Once you’re out, it’s easy to not get enough rest.”

“It’s okay, go to sleep, wife.”

The next morning

The first thing Su Chenghe and Xiao Sun did when they woke up was to check the money in their underwear pockets.

“Phew, my fifty yuan is still here. How about yours?”
