    Zhou Lan couldn’t figure it out and decided not to dwell on it. After the meal, she invited Jiang Nan toe over to her house, but Jiang Nan declined.


    “1 arrivedte for the banquet today and haven’t greeted my parents yet. It wouldn’t be appropriate to leave without saying hello. I’ll visit another time.”


    Considering the situation, Zhou Lan thought that made sense. Even though her family had a falling out with the old Jiang family, Jiang Nan didn’t. Given Jiang Nan’s kindness towards them, Zhou Lan wouldn’t want to put her in a tough spot, so they all left.


    On the way home, Zhou Lan finally had the chance to check the money in her pocket. It was ten coin.


    Along the way, Zhou Lan also learned something new. The production team’s captain had been transferred to the town, essentially receiving a promotion.


    With the captain’s position now vacant, everyone spected that Chen Xing would take over, and a new deputy team leader would be appointed to fill Chen Xing’s former role.


    Additionally, the production team’s ounting position was also vacant. Thus, there were two coveted positions open in the production team.


    The captain could rmend people for these roles, and in no time, the number of peopleing over with gifts was overwhelming, practically wearing out his doorstep.


    Normally, the captain had a poker face, and no one dared approach him. But today, everyone was rushing over, causing quite a scare for his family.


    Today, half the vigers were at the old Jiang’s house for the festivities, and the other half were lining up at the captain’s door, with the queue stretching to themune’s entrance.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Chuan, who was in town, had his own bit of luck.


    His purpose foring to the town was to visit the ck market. But, being unfamiliar with the vast county, he didn’t know the exact location of the ck market. He hoped to stumble upon it while exploring.


    Unexpectedly, while he didn’t find the ck market, he ran into a familiar face: Auntie Tian, the woman who had bought vegetables from him on the bus.


    Auntie Tian was very interested in his wild vegetables and had mentioned back on the bus that Jiang Chuan should find her when hees to the city to sell the wild vegetables. However, since Jiang Chuan already had a steady customer base, he had forgotten about it.


    Coincidentally, Auntie Tian saw Jiang Chuan carrying a basket full of white radishes and carrots that day, each one looking fresh and juicy. It was evident they were freshly dug up.


    Auntie Tian promptly said, “Jiang Chuan, when youe to the city to sell vegetables, why don’t youe to me? How much vegetables do you have in total? I’ll take all of it.”


    Seeing that Jiang Chuan only carried one basket of vegetables, she assumed that was all he had. Given that radishes can be stored for at least half a month during winter, she believed she could consume all that he had to offer.


    However, in reality, Jiang Chuan had three baskets of radishes and mushrooms in the trunk of his SUV. Furthermore, he had four wild chickens and five wild rabbits contained in a cage, which he could retrieve using his special ability.


    Jiang Chuan felt fortunate to have purchased an SUV. Its trunk had ample space, something other cars might not offer.


    Jiang Chuan could tell that Auntie Tian was affluent. Given that he couldn’t find the ck market yet, selling to Auntie Tian seemed like a good idea, especially as a way to repay her favor. After all, she had helped him out when he faced trouble from Lin Xia on the bus. It seemed fitting to sell her a basket of radishes.


    Straightening up, Jiang Chuan said, “Auntie Tian, I didn’te to the city by bus this time but brought a horse cart instead. I was concerned that bringing it directly into the city would attract too much attention, so 1 left it outside the town. There’s about one and a half baskets each of radishes and mushrooms on it. If you want them, 1 can bring them over.”


    Auntie Tian was surprised. She hadn’t expected Jiang Chuan to have so many radishes. Yet, she inwardlymended Jiang Chuan for his cleverness. Given that the country doesn’t allow covert money transactions, driving a cart full of vegetables into the city would clearly indicate he intended to sell them. It made sense not to bring it into the city.


    However, Auntie Tian realized that even with her appetite, she couldn’t consume all those radishes. Not wanting to pass up on the high-quality vegetables, she came up with an idea, “How about this: Jiang Chuan, youe with me and sell the vegetables at my ce. There are many buyers where 1 live, and I suspect your three baskets might not even be enough.”


    “That sounds great, Auntie Tian. Where do you live?”


    “In the residential area for sugar factory workers in the middle of the city.”


    Oh, a hidden wealthy individual.


    Hearing this, Jiang Chuan understood the situation. Those who worked at the sugar factory had stable jobs. Although they weren’t incredibly rich, each family was well-off. As the saying goes: “If one person is full, the whole family isn’t worried.” Even if he priced his radishes a bit higher, he believed he could sell them..
