Chapter 14: A Chance Encounter Cabbage and radishes didn't fetch much of a price in winter, but shepherd's purse and dandelions were a different story. He smiled, looked at the middle-aged woman, and said, "Seventy cents a jin, how does that sound? It's the dead of winter, and I spent the whole morning digging these up at the foot of the mountain. It wasn't easy! You can sell them fresh, and I guarantee you won't lose money!" Seventy cents a jin was certainly not cheap. But at the thought of a…- 75.7 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 13: How Much for These Wild Vegetables? Wang Jinhua spat fiercely on the ground. "What time does he think it is, still acting like some young master from the city? Eldest, look at your nephew. He's completely out of line! Walking right past his elders without even saying hello! I swear, feeding Mom and Dad's eggs to a dog would have been better than feeding them to him!" Wang Jinhua was furious, her words pouring out of her like beans spilling from a bamboo tube as she vented her…

- Chapter 12: A Way to Make Money Twenty-four yuan and sixty cents. He thought that even if he added up all the money he had ever held in both of his lifetimes, it wouldn't carry as much weight as this single sum. ... Two hours of walking along a snowy mountain path. Perhaps sustained by the fire burning in his chest, he didn't feel tired at all. Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, a rush of freezing air poured into the room.

- Chapter 11: The First Earnings, Twenty-Four Yuan and Sixty Cents A crowd immediately swarmed forward, craning their necks to scramble for the fish. Not far away, the older woman came running back carrying her basin. Snow dusted her shoulders, and her face was flushed with excitement and surprise. "My goodness! Tell me if he isn't amazing! Three jin and six liang, not a single liang more, not a single liang less! Ha! I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone with…

- Chapter 10: Selling Fish The older woman blinked. She covered her pot, leaned in, and asked, "That sounds great, but where did you get fish in the dead of winter? Did you buy them? It's New Year's Day, so the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the fish market aren't even open." Xie Zhao said, "I caught them myself." He explained, "I set the fish traps myself and waited a long time. It's freezing out, so I really suffered for it." As he spoke, he jerked his chin toward the inpatient…

- Chapter 9: Milky White Crucian Carp Soup Lin Muyu's body froze instantly. Xie Zhao was also stunned for a moment. It was an instinctive reaction, but he hadn't expected to actually touch her. In truth, she was only seventeen. In this dog-eat-dog era, she had already given birth to his children. A faint blush crept across her face, and her normally calm eyes looked as if a small pebble had been tossed into them, sending ripples of warmth shimmering across the surface. "Ahem!" Xie Zhao…

- Chapter 8: Put Your Hands in Here to Warm Them Up Phew! He let out a long breath and turned to count his haul. Fifteen fish in total. Ten crucian carp, and the remaining five were three grass carp, one common carp, and one silver carp. None of them were particularly large, with the biggest weighing just over two jin.

- Chapter 7: Catching Fish Xie Zhao's eyes suddenly grew hot. He fell silent for a moment, but in the end, he reached out and took the money. "Mom, don't worry. I'll pay big brother back this money," Xie Zhao said softly but firmly. Tian Xiufen hadn't said anything, but he had found out later in his past life. In his past life, Xie Cheng had worked down in the mines. That was money earned at the risk of his life. Their family was poor, and the savings Xie Cheng had painstakingly scraped…
