Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Do You Feel Guilty?
Chiang
Xiao certainly wouldn’t quarrel with money. Whoever ca to buy was fine, as long as they paid enough.
Fortunately, the mushrooms had already been sold, and there were only seven or eight bunches of Tianxiang Green left; otherwise, having Chiang
Baoguo see their full display might indeed have caused trouble.
“Sister, the rabbits are seventy cents a pound. These three weigh about the sa, six pounds and one, five pounds and three, five pounds and five. Which one would you like to pick?”
As she spoke, she picked up the steelyard balance.
“Second Uncle, did you catch these rabbits?” Chiang
Baoguo was still visibly shocked.
He had been ntally prepared to encounter Chiang
Songhai. However, he roughly knew where Chiang
Songhai usually set up his stall, and he only had a few dicinal herbs. Being an honest man, he couldn’t secure a good spot and would always be in the most remote corners. Baoguo planned to simply avoid that area, never expecting Chiang
Songhai to be in such a pri spot this ti!
And how could he have so much Tianxiang Green?
Tianxiang Green was one thing, but why were there three wild rabbits?
You must know, during the years of famine, the nearby mountains had been nearly stripped bare. at was scarce even when eating communal als, so after years of hunting in the mountains, it was almost impossible to catch these creatures.
Only those hunters, skilled and experienced, with exceptional courage, who specialized in this trade, would venture deep into the mountains to hunt.
But it couldn’t possibly be his Second Uncle!
You see, Chiang
Songhai and his wife, along with their granddaughter Chiang
Xiao, were all frail. They barely managed farming, let alone hunting!
Moreover, these three wild rabbits were unhard, in perfect condition.
This was truly bizarre.
“Yes… I caught them.” Chiang
Songhai was not good at lying, especially not when it ca to deceiving mbers of the Old Chiang Family. He almost let slip Chiang
Xiao’s involvent.
“That’s fantastic!”
Before Chiang
Baoguo could speak, Ding ifen had already lit up with excitent, clapping her hands.
Fantastic? What’s so fantastic?
Chiang
Xiao and Chiang
Songhai both looked at her sowhat bewildered.
Ding ifen wasn’t looking at them but rather was looking up at Chiang
Baoguo with a coquettish tone, “Brother Baoguo, you know I don’t have a big budget for this family dinner, but I promised my dad it would be sumptuous. However, these rabbits are so expensive. It’s fortunate they’re from your family’s catch!”
Chiang
Xiao felt sothing was amiss upon hearing this.
What does she an by “fortunate they’re your family’s rabbits”?
Whose family?
They might all share the surna Chiang, but they were not one family!
And even if they were Chiang Family’s rabbits, what concern was it to soone with the surna Ding? What was their relationship?
Chiang
Songhai also felt sothing was off, and Ding ifen’s expression and tone when talking to Chiang
Baoguo made him uncomfortable. Yet he didn’t know how to respond and remained silent.
Chiang
Baoguo was still shocked that Chiang
Songhai managed to catch three wild rabbits, but Ding ifen’s words struck a chord with him.
After so thought, he said to Chiang
Songhai, “Second Uncle, which are the bigger ones?”
The three rabbits were not much different in size, but a few more ounces ant more at.
Chiang
Songhai pointed out, “This one is six pounds and one, and this one is five pounds and five.”
The total for the two rabbits would be eight yuan, one jiao, and two fen. There were small denominations of currency at the ti, so naturally not a single cent could be missed. One cent could buy three little candies at the little sundry shop.
Chiang
Baoguo nodded, reaching out to grab the two rabbits. “Alright, then I’ll take these.”
Before his hands could touch the rabbits’ ears, Chiang
Xiao, quick and vigilant, pulled the basket toward herself.
She looked at Chiang
Baoguo, then at Ding ifen, and asked with a smile, “Uncle, will you be paying, or will this lady be paying? These two cost eight yuan, one jiao, and two fen, but since you’re a friend of my uncle, we’ll round down and say eight yuan.”
