Chapter 165: Who Are You Looking Down On

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Who are you looking down on? If I say I can afford it, then so be it. “After a long day, Jiang Xia learned a lesson: some people should not be treated kindly, or they would take advantage of the situation.

...

Upon hearing Jiang Xia’s words, the salesperson didn’t react at all, crossing her arms and snorting through her nose, “Fine then. These are two yuan per kilogram, and you’ll also need half a kilogram of grain tickets. Just having grain tickets isn’t enough, you need to have money too.”

Upon hearing the price, Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment. She had only made six yuan from selling two wild rabbits; was it possible that the salesperson was trying to deceive her into buying these small biscuits at two yuan per kilogram?

“It’s alright, girl, go ahead and buy it. Biscuits are a luxury these days; it’s normal that they’re sold at this price.” Seeing Jiang Xia’s hesitation, Jiang Chuan explained to her.

That made sense. In this era when people can’t even get enough food, who has the money to buy such luxuries? If they were to buy them, it would probably only be during the Chinese New Year, when people are more willing to spend.

With that in mind, Jiang Xia felt balanced. She confidently took out the money from her pocket.

Seeing Jiang Xia’s boldness, the salesperson felt even more sour, “Oh, you have money to buy food, why don’t you spend it on some clothes? You both look as dirty as beggars.”

Jiang Xia was about to argue with the salesperson when Jiang Chuan held her back, giving the salesperson a warning glance.

He was upset as well. Who could bear hearing such words about his beloved daughter who had done nothing wrong?

But they were in an unfamiliar environment. Even if they were to fight, they would be at a disadvantage with so many people in the shop. It would be best to avoid causing trouble.

Jiang Xia picked a few biscuits, approximately half a kilogram, and paid four yuan.

Having bought the biscuits, Jiang Xia walked away directly. Spending money had made her furious; she didn’t want to stay in this awful place for another second.

On the way home, it was too late for the bus, so the father and daughter hired a donkey cart with the money they had left.

During the journey, Jiang Xia was visibly upset.

“What’s the matter, Xiao Xia? We bought what we needed today, and we’ve secured a way to sell our wild vegetables. Coming to the city has been fruitful, why aren’t you happy?”

Jiang Xia touched the biscuits in her hand, and said dejectedly: “Dad, I now understand the importance of appearances.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan realized that Jiang Xia was still thinking about the shopping mall incident.

“Now you understand, right? In any era, some people only care about appearances, not substance.”

Seeing an opportunity, Jiang Chuan finally had a chance to show off his wisdom in front of his clever daughter.

“Dad, don’t worry. I won’t be easily defeated. One day, 1 will make sure our family has nice clothes and a good life. By then, we’ll not only afford clothes, but also gold for each of us.”

“Alright, Dad is waiting, and believes you can achieve what you say.”

Their lives were getting better, a stark contrast from when they first came here, without food or money.

Since they were able to go from having nothing to now having food, drink, and even some spare money, was the day Jiang Xia imagined, where each of them could buy a piece of gold, far off?

Soon, the donkey cart dropped them off at the entrance of the village.

By the time the father and daughter got home, it was almost dark. Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu had already lit the oil lamp and were waiting for them.

“Sister, Dad! You’re back!” Even before they entered the house, Jiang Gu shouted towards the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Lan looked up and saw Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia coming back.

Even though it had only been a day, Zhou Lan had missed them.

She quickly went up to them and asked, “Why are you back so late? Have you eaten yet?”

“We’ve eaten, both Jiang Xia and 1 have eaten.” Jiang Chuan approached Zhou Lan and said with a smile..
