Chapter 161: Hope

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After hearing the words of the old man from the clothing factory, the father and daughter did not have much hope. However, since they had already come to the cotton mill, they could not give up halfway. This time, the father and daughter were more energetic. They took a small fish to the gatekeeper and explained their purpose of coming.

...

Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper immediately agreed.

The father and daughter looked at each other in surprise.

They were both gatekeepers, but even Uncle He from the clothing factory did not dare to agree. Could this Uncle Fang be lying to them?

The gatekeeper had them wait at the gate. Shortly after, he brought someone out.

“Zhang Shan, hurry up. Don’t dawdle.”

Zhang Shan looked no older than his twenties, was quite tall but thin and had delicate skin. If he hadn’t spoken, the father and daughter would have thought he was a girl.

“Do you two want to buy defective fabric?” Zhang Shan scanned the duo from head to toe, his eyes seemingly asking: Can you afford it?

Jiang Chuan didn’t waste words, and directly placed the items they had prepared before him, “Take a look. If you think these items are sufficient, we can proceed with the conversation.”

Uncle Fang was astonished upon seeing the items.

He had just received a fish and thought that was impressive enough. He hadn’t expected this humble-looking father-daughter duo to have so many good things.

Zhang Shan had thought they would just buy a few sets of clothing fabric. To his surprise, they had brought out a lot of meat.

A roe deer, two wild rabbits, and two fish, not to mention the fresh greens. Had the duo brought out all their possessions?

But this suited his needs just fine. In a few days, there would be a celebration at the factory director’s home, and he was asked if he could procure some meat.

“How much defective fabric do you need?”

Upon hearing Zhang Shan’s question, the father-daughter duo knew there was hope. They quickly said, “We’re poor and have brought all we have. You’ve seen our clothes. You decide how much fabric we can get.”

Jiang Chuan spoke politely, but if Zhang Shan tried to take advantage of them, he wouldn’t stand for it.

If Zhang Shan was generous this time, they could do business again. If not, this would be the only deal.

Jiang Chuan had brought so many items hoping to exchange for more fabric, as it was necessary for winter.

“Why didn’t you come earlier? If you had, you wouldn’t have to worry about clothes for the entire year.”

From these words, Jiang Chuan knew Zhang Shan wasn’t planning to shortchange them.

“We’ve always been farmers, and isn’t private trading discouraged now? It’s just that our kids’ clothes are too worn out…”

Jiang Chuan spoke honestly, and Zhang Shan didn’t suspect him.

Believing their story, Zhang Shan said, “You’re lucky to have met me. I’m in charge of this stuff in the factory. 1 can give you items that others don’t want. If you’re okay with that, I’ll give you all I can.”

“Of course! We’re struggling to get enough food. Having something to wear is already very good!”

“You’re honest. If it weren’t for me, you might have been cheated badly.”

“We’re lucky to have met a kind person,” Jiang Chuan said loudly, not only for Zhang Shan but also for Uncle Fang, “If we get more good stuff in the future, can we exchange it for fabric?”

Zhang Shan had been thinking about this and readily agreed when Jiang Chuan brought it up.

“Sure, of course! 1’11 keep some good fabric for you!” Zhang Shan, though delicate-looking, was quite bold when it came to business.

But he also had foresight. He knew that giving the duo a good deal now meant they would remember him when they had good stuff in the future.
