Chapter 1779: Chapter 1773: So Many Dishes
“Aunt Wu, you have a lot of vegetables.” Qin Xue had never been to her own vegetable garden, so she didn’t know what vegetables her family had. But looking at Aunt Wu’s garden, she thought it was really nice, with a bit of everything.
“I’m just planting them randomly. Whatever you want, just pick it yourself.” Aunt Wu laughed after hearing Qin Xue’s words.
“Alright, then I won’t be polite.” Qin Xue picked a little of what she needed, just as a gesture. These days, life wasn’t easy for anyone, so she didn’t pick too much.
“Aunt Wu, do you have so many vegetables that you can’t finish them? Can I pick so too?” A villager saw Qin Xue picking vegetables in Aunt Wu’s garden and ca over too.
“Sorry, I exchanged them for brown sugar and eggs. If you want so, you can do the sa. Mrs. Gang is about to give birth, right? We should give her sothing to eat, or else, won’t it be tough if she has no milk for the baby?” Qin Xue noticed Aunt Wu’s awkward expression, so she showed what was at the bottom of her basket.
Her mother had reminded her when she caught the chickens, saying that Mrs. Gang was about to give birth and needed eggs and brown sugar. Using these items to trade would save Aunt Wu from having to buy them.
“Well…” The person who asked the question didn’t expect Qin Xue to respond this way, and gave a sheepish smile. Qin Xue was still as annoying as ever, interrupting when others spoke. But since she saw Qin Xue picking vegetables, she felt prompted to speak, so now she was at a loss for words.
She originally thought it was free and had the mindset of taking advantage of a good deal, but now she was told she needed to swap items, so she didn’t want them anymore. Exchanging precious brown sugar and eggs for so vegetables – Qin Xue must be silly!
In people’s eyes now, brown sugar and eggs were too expensive and generally unaffordable, but for Qin Xue, they were as ordinary as ever. There was nothing she wanted that she couldn’t afford.
If others knew what Qin Xue thought, they would definitely say she was too self-centered, daring to speak such bold words.
But people didn’t know Qin Xue’s skills, so thinking this way was understandable. No matter what, in Qin Xue’s heart, to get what you want, you have to work hard and fight for it, so you won’t feel inferior or lacking compared to others.
“Qin Xue is right. Aunt Wu plants vegetables for her family, and she’s reluctant to eat them. If she let others pick them, what would her family eat? If you want so, go ho and get brown sugar and eggs to trade.” Others passing by overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but chi in.
Everyone found it amusing deep down, thinking, “Why should we just give you our stuff? How big is your ego to think we’d just give it for free?”
So, everyone joined in with a playful spirit, but those words sincerely embarrassed the person who spoke earlier.
Seeing the growing crowd, she walked off dejectedly. If she didn’t leave now, when would she? Didn’t she see the mocking glances in people’s eyes?
“Haha, she’s still as keen on freebies as ever.” People laughed and joked as they watched the woman walk away.
“Exactly, doesn’t she rember what she’s like? Does she think she can get everything she wants every ti? Besides, she has her own land. Why doesn’t she plant on it and always eye other people’s stuff? Her mindset is baffling.
