Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Don’t Keep Those Who Bite the Hand That Feeds Them Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Don’t Keep Those Who Bite the Hand That Feeds Them Luo Qiao figured that if push ca to shove, she could just have them wait outside for a bit while she went in to release the goods, then call them in to check the rchandise.
Considering this was a one-ti deal, even if they beca suspicious, they wouldn’t be able to find her if they dug three feet into the ground, so she decided to create a false impression in the courtyard first.
When the ti was right, Luo Qiao appeared at the designated spot. Jin Biao was there too, and upon seeing her, he said, “Big sis, where’s the stuff?”
Luo Qiao replied with a smile, “Didn’t Big Brother Jin send soone to watch the place beforehand? Didn’t they tell you that no one brought any goods over?”
Jin Biao’s face turned sour instantly; he turned to question the person behind him, “What’s going on?”
Knowing he had caused trouble, the man hurriedly explained, “No offense, we just sent a few brothers over to keep watch.”
Without another word, Luo Qiao simply said, “Follow .”
Jin Biao’s face was extrely unsightly, realizing he had been let down by his own n, but it wasn’t appropriate to cause a scene in front of outsiders at this mont.
They followed Luo Qiao for less than ten minutes, and upon arrival, she said, “Wait here for a bit.”
Alone, Luo Qiao entered the yard, where she had already made preparations to bring out the vegetables. Aside from tomatoes and eggs which were in wicker baskets, string beans, cucumbers, green peppers, chili peppers, and eggplants were all bagged in sacks, with most of the other green vegetables tied up in bundles.
Once she had everything arranged, she let Jin Biao enter alone.
Jin Biao was also stunned by the scale of it all. He hadn’t expected the big sis to bring such an abundance of fresh vegetables, and he beca so excited that his words ca out all muddled, “This, all of this is, these are veggies, big sis, you’re like my own sister, you’ve really helped out big ti here.”
No wonder she had told him to bring a large vehicle; otherwise, it wouldn’t have fit. He had thought she was just boasting, but she really ant it, and he had underestimated her.
But it didn’t matter now that there was stock. He would sell it all tonight, and it would be safer to send it off directly from here.
Luo Qiao said, “Let’s weigh it. If you can’t take it all, no problem, there are plenty of others who are eager for it.”
Jin Biao replied, “No, no, no, big sis, let’s build a good rapport, and if you ever need anything, just say the word. As long as I can help, Brother Biao is certainly not the kind to hesitate in assisting you.”
The price had been agreed upon beforehand, so after weighing and calculating the cost, despite them being just vegetables, these were rare goods in the deep of winter and especially with the New Year coming—a sure sale.
Jin Biao knew these goods weren’t sothing a normal person could get, and this was not soone to offend. Upon returning, he would have to deal with those who had acted on their own—this was a violation of his rules, possibly indicating a rat in his midst.
Coughing lightly, Jin Biao said, “Big sis, sorry about today’s incident. When I get back, it’s ti to clean house. I, Jin Biao, won’t keep around those who betray their own.”
Luo Qiao chuckled, “I was saying that the famous Big Brother of the Black Market Biao couldn’t possibly be soone who doesn’t follow rules.”
With a wave of his hand, Jin Biao had soone arrange for the people and the vehicles. He continued, “Big sis, next ti you’ve got good stuff, make sure to look for Brother Biao, I’ll definitely give you a fair price.”
They then started to settle the accounts. Because there were so many eggs, it wasn’t practical to count them one by one, so they ended up settling on a price of seventy cents per catty, which really wasn’t low.
After receiving the money and ensuring there were no issues, Luo Qiao said, “Then I’ll be on my way first.”
Having said that, Luo Qiao turned and headed out. She was worried that Grandpa, Grandma, Big Brother, and Second Brother might be concerned, but she also knew safety ca first; once outside the yard, she headed in the opposite direction of ho.
Only after making several detours did she find a hidden spot to enter her space, change back into her previous clothes, and then she left the space, mounted her bicycle, and took another route back.
Don’t underestimate these vegetables. During the sumr, the most expensive ones were just over ten cents per catty, but now they were all bought for thirty-five cents each. However, today’s vegetables didn’t include any winter storage veggies like cabbages, radishes, or potatoes—these were ones you couldn’t eat in winter.
The vegetables she had saved up in her space during sumr were now all sold off, earning her a total of two thousand one hundred yuan this year from vegetables and eggs.
When she was still a good distance from the mouth of the street, Luo Qiao stowed away her bicycle and pulled out a sack of fruit to carry ho.
Sure enough, at the street corner she saw Grandpa’s figure. She struggled to suppress her emotions, but her eyes still reddened, “Grandpa, how long have you been waiting out here in this cold weather?”
