I Have A Store C16

by MarineTL — Chapter 16: Digging a Well Zhou Yimin also began painting a grand vision for his grandparents. And it really worked—elderly folks loved hearing such things.

On your way back, help me take this stuff back with you," Zhou Yimin said, pointing at the hand-operated water pump and drill rods. Zhou Dafu and the others looked over but couldn't tell what it was. "What is it?" Bringing it back wasn’t a problem. "A water pump. You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it. Just help me transport it back." Fine! Zhou Dafu and the others didn’t ask further and loaded the metal parts…

I Have A Store C11

by MarineTL — Chapter 11: Director Li of the Street Office In reality, most people would make the same choice as Second Aunt. In this era, people weren’t short on money, but they were short on food. There were still quite a few elderly folks in the city who had hidden away a lot of wealth, yet many of them were still starving while clinging to their gold and silver. Do you think they were masochists who just didn’t want to eat? No, they simply had no supplies! Zhou Yimin headed out right away, making his…

by MarineTL — Chapter 9: In Trouble? Find Eldest Uncle On the way back to the courtyard, Zhou Yimin loaded the ox cart with sack after sack of sweet potatoes, totaling 2,000 pounds. Even the old ox pulling the cart was starting to get temperamental. At home, Zhou Daguai and the others looked enviously at the supplies in the cupboard—rice, flour, eggs, beef jerky... Yet, not a single one of them reached out to take anything, despite their hunger. When Zhou Yimin returned and saw them all sitting obediently at the…
