I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel

Chapter 86: Chapter 83: A Trap from My Cousin

Fifty thousand! That’s not much! She really doesn’t need that bit of money.

But since her cousin wants to earn this money, Jiang Mingyue naturally supports him.

"I’ll go in and take a look."

Soon, Jiang Mingyue dug out a few miraculous medicines.

The key bottle was:

Name: Universal Awakening Spirit

Effect: Dissolves cerebral blood clots, cleans blood vessel debris, allowing the patient’s blood to flow smoothly.

Award: Special Prize at the 8th Interstellar Awards

Number: WG1010236V—111 Research Approval Code

Jiang Mingyue was reluctant to use it on that scumbag.

"Bro, if you need money, I have some here."

Jiang Ming’an glared at her: "Do I look like the kind of brother who would suck his sister dry?"

Jiang Mingyue: You are.

"Cough cough... I just want to get back at that bastard, but he’s lying there oblivious, so I thought, maybe his family can bleed a bit. I had someone look into it, and fifty thousand is the Xue Family’s limit. Squeeze them dry, and when Xue Hong wakes up, he won’t have money to squander, which will make me feel better."

Jiang Mingyue looked at Jiang Ming’an as if he were a fool: "Cousin, have you gone dumb from his blow? If I were retaliating, I’d let him fend for himself, better yet, be a vegetable for life. Wouldn’t that be delightful?"

"Yueyue! The most important thing is to scrape some money into our bowl. Did you forget your brother once collected 80% of the world’s wealth in his past life?"

Jiang Mingyue: "..." She still didn’t believe her brother was just in it for the money. With his money-making skills, what is fifty thousand? Why make the enemy happy?

"I’ll go along with you. Take the medicine, it’s really annoying!"

"Bro, he harmed you like that, did you find any evidence?"

"I searched, but no! The physical evidence was destroyed long ago, and there’s no witness. Your attacks on those images don’t count as evidence. No rush, take it slow. I’ll let him die after I make this money."

"Bro, let’s keep our hands clean."

"Got it. I was just saying. Do I need to do it myself?"

"By the way, that Yan Jinzhi guy isn’t in Qingshan Village anymore, right? If he shamelessly returns, stay away from him, don’t feed him, let him fend for himself."

Jiang Mingyue thought about what the swallow said at the restaurant today, lowered her head and blinked.

"Hey! Were you listening to me?"

"Okay, I got it. Stay far away from him, alright."

"That’s more like it. That guy’s no good, just ignore him."

"Also, Yueyue! Our grain and oil counter hasn’t received any food for a week, do you have any?"

Jiang Mingyue saw her brother, his mouth asking, eyes filled with anticipation.

"I just sold to Brother Pan and the others, but I’ll check the fields."

After entering the space, the warehouse was already emptied, leaving only two bags for their own use. But what she planted was ripe.

Jiang Mingyue swept her spiritual power through the wheat field, quickly completing the harvest, drying, threshing, and grinding processes. The rice went through the same steps, and she quickly pulled out two thousand pounds of rice and two thousand pounds of flour from space.

"Is that enough?"

Jiang Ming’an sighed in relief, in this era of procurement, it’s really difficult, grain is scarce everywhere, workers with money tickets can’t buy anything, causing lots of complaints, making Manager Zhuang powerless.

"Our Yueyue is still the best. Anything else?"

In the end, Jiang Mingyue, for the sake of her brother, ransacked the warehouse for a few bags of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and a hundred pounds of brown sugar.

"This time there’s really nothing left."

"Alright, not bad, not bad. Yueyue, come with your brother to collect the payments, even between us siblings, we should have clear accounts."

Jiang Mingyue rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with him.

This world’s brother is really a drag.

Her brother now has the good trait of being down-to-earth.

The accounting was quickly settled. Looking at the money tickets in her hand, Jiang Mingyue thought: If possible, she genuinely doesn’t want to do business with them.

Brother Pan gave her twenty cents per pound of rice without tickets, here it’s eight cents plus two ounces of food tickets per pound, wheat flour is seven cents plus two ounces of food tickets, but Brother Pan gives her the same price for rice and wheat flour. Although tickets are added, it still doesn’t reach that high.

Everything else is lower than what Brother Pan gives, Jiang Mingyue realized that the purchase price is similar to the public grain price set by the brigade if it’s threshed.

Really low!

But it’s her brother, her brother! Jiang Mingyue hypnotized herself, supporting her brother’s job, isn’t that right?

In the end, after selling so much, Jiang Mingyue only got 360 yuan and 74 cents, plus 82 pounds of food tickets.

Oh well, got to support her brother’s job.

Her brother was busy, Jiang Mingyue didn’t linger, turned to the front door to enter their department store.

"Xiao Xiao, I’m here!" Jiang Mingyue greeted Gu Xiaoxiao, who automatically led her to pick items.

"What do you want to buy today?"

"Xiao Xiao, do you still have that big basin from last time?"

What Jiang Mingyue likes most about Gu Xiaoxiao is that she never asks, "Why are you buying so much?"

"I’ll go check." Gu Xiaoxiao rummaged around, finding over thirty big basins.

"Are these enough?"

Seeing her efforts, Jiang Mingyue nodded: "Enough. I’ll buy more next time. Oh, Xiao Xiao, do you have any bicycles in stock?"

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly, "Not a single one has been delivered. Otherwise, I’d have kept one for you."

Jiang Mingyue thought for a moment, rummaged and took out a prepared bicycle ticket and two hundred yuan to give to Gu Xiaoxiao.

"Take the money and ticket first, if the stock arrives, get me one first."

Gu Xiaoxiao, being easygoing, said: "Okay, but that’s too much money, you don’t need that much." With that, she returned fifty yuan.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment: "Ming Yue, can you give me your home address? If I encounter anyone from your village, I can have them bring it back for you."

Jiang Mingyue thought, this was a slim hope.

But she still wrote down the address for Gu Xiaoxiao.

"You can see my house standing at the village entrance, it’s the one with a super big soap tree at the door."

"Got it, soap tree, I’ll remember." Gu Xiaoxiao thought, she wouldn’t be at ease letting others bring it, she’d deliver it herself when there’s stock and check out Ming Yue’s living conditions.

"By the way, Ming Yue, your little rabbit gave birth to babies, it’s lively at home, so I’m not bored going back after work. Wait, I pickled some garlic for you again."

Jiang Mingyue finally remembered what was off, she forgot to eat the pickled garlic Gu Xiaoxiao gave last time.

Gu Xiaoxiao bent down, dragged out her bag from under the counter, pulled out a jar of pickled garlic, a jar of pickled ginger, and a jar of pickled onion heads.

They look all juicy and vibrant in color. Without tasting, it’s apparent they’re made by a master, the taste can’t be wrong.

Jiang Mingyue was very much looking forward to their taste.

"Thank you, Xiao Xiao, I love them."

"Glad you like them."

"Xiao Xiao, give me more of this, this, and that..."

Jiang Mingyue, with a single breath, bought over fifty yuan’s worth of candies and biscuits, considering it was Jiang Beihua’s money, she felt no remorse.

Before leaving, Jiang Mingyue took out a few sausages from under the basket’s cover cloth and stuffed them to Xiao Xiao.

"Homemade, try it." Then she ran off.

However, Jiang Mingyue didn’t expect to bump into someone. Someone unexpected.
