Chapter 980: Sold at A High Price

Someone reached out to touch the basket Changsheng carried on his back. He had carried the most. They themselves had clearly sold only some. But Changsheng had not even had his first sale yet, had he? Did he sell all of them?

“Yeah, I sold them,” Changsheng laughed and said, “Our luck was good, and we happened to meet a buyer, so he bought all of them.” All of the words that he spoke was taught to him by Yan Huan.

It was not that they were being mean and did not tell other people. But the market over there was not opened yet. If the restaurant accepted their eggs, then the eggs from the village could be taken there to sell. It could also save a lot of time and earn a lot of money.

But speaking out now would be equivalent to talking big. If the restaurant did not want them, then the villagers, who were full of hope before, would return in disappointment in the end. If the eggs were not sold, then Changsheng would be blamed instead of the market.

So, under the uncertain circumstances, Yan Huan did not let Changsheng say.

Although Changsheng was simple and honest, as well as uncultured, he still understood the basic principle. Except that he was still excited with the 200 dollars he grasped in his hand until now.

Yan Huan followed the villagers and walked forward. At this time, her face was all covered up with a cloth. The ugly half of her face was covered which was also to cover the menacing part. Only her pair of eyes was left uncovered. Her eyes were exceptionally good-looking with a beautiful shape and long eyelashes. They looked like they were shrouded with a layer of fog and misty at all times. It was her extremely depressed heart that she hid.

The villagers only felt relieved when they returned to the village. They were afraid that what happened to Jin Gen would come to pass for them. They did not know where Jin Gen had gone, whether he fell down the mountain, or something happened to him below the mountain. So, everyone was now afraid that their loved ones would turn out like Jin Gen and did not come back after meeting with a mishap. When they saw their return, smoke came out of the chimneys in each household and dogs were also barking happily. The people also laughed happily.

Changsheng’s mother had already made dinner. Yan Huan held up a bowl of porridge with both hands and took little sips. She appeared to be the same as other times. But only she knew that at this time, that seed of hope had already withered. All the beliefs she held were smashed in that moment.

After dinner, she cleared the table and washed the dishes, while Changsheng and his mother were talking outside.

“Why is there so much today?” asked Changsheng’s mother, holding the money with quivering hands. It was almost 200 dollars. In the past, the eggs were sold for 50 or 60 dollars at the most. They were still the same quantity of eggs, not much more or less. How did they get so much more money all of a sudden? Where did it come from?

“Mom, the money came from selling the eggs,” said Changsheng happily, rubbing his hands. All of it were earned from selling the eggs.

“But how can it is so much more?” asked Changsheng’s mother, still not quite believing. The price of the eggs was clearly still the same. Could it be possible that the eggs from their house look better than other people? Or was it to say that the eggs were made of gold?

“Mom, don’t you know?” Changsheng quickly said like he was telling a story. He even spoke with a thrilling tone, “Originally, no one wanted our eggs. I had gone for two hours, but there were still so many eggs. I did not sell a single one of them. There were not that many people today. It might also be due to the cold weather, so the eggs were slow to sell. Seeing how the day was turning dark and our family still had not sold, Xiao Yan brought me to a restaurant and then sold the eggs to the kitchen back there. Half a kilo of eggs sold for five dollars, saying that they were organic eggs from free range chickens. So, it was expensive.”

“So, I see…..” it was also the first time Changsheng’s mother had heard of organic eggs from free range chickens and that there was even such a label. Their village had always raised chickens in such a way and ate such eggs.

“Mom, Xiao Yan comes from outside. Of course, she knows more than we do,” said Changsheng with a look of pride. Yan Huan was knowledgeable. He himself also felt immensely proud.

“Look at your silly manner,” Changsheng’s mother said as she poked her son’s head. While she thought to herself that when spring came, she would settle her son’s matter, lest it became more complicated the longer time went.

She put the money away for it would be used to prepare for the wedding. Because both of them had been diligent for so many years, they had also saved a lot of money. The money was enough for her son to marry a wife and bring her home.

Yan Huan was lying on the heated brick bed. She closed her eyes tightly. At this time, all the hope in her eyes had become a fog of tears. She did not want to cry, but she was secretly crying here instead.

How could they have changed their cell phone numbers? Did they not know that she still wanted to go home? If she could not find them, then how was she going to go home?

No, she shook her head as she sat up. Then she used her hands to wipe her tears clean with force. She could not cry. It was only the numbers that changed, but the people were still around. She was still around.

No matter what, she would go back to Sea City. She only lost her way here. She would find the way home. Regardless of how hard it was, how exhausting it could be, she must return to her home.

When she woke up the next day, she still picked up firewood as usual and then gave other people haircuts. She tried her best to collect eggs so as to sell them and earn some money. Changsheng’s mother would give her some money. Sometimes it was ten dollars and sometimes 20 dollars. She had saved nearly 70 dollars. She had not touched the money and was going to wait to use it the next time she went down the mountain.

She touched the front of her chest and took out a necklace from inside. The necklace had a ring looped through it. When she was thrown into the Sea River, she had nothing on her except this necklace and ring. The necklace was made of platinum, and the ring had a diamond.

Although she was very reluctant because it was Lu Yi’s birthday gift to her, her wedding ring was a little ostentatious when worn, so under general circumstances, she would wear such a small diamond ring, which was very suitable for her finger and also did not affect her work and life.

If the ring was sold, it should be enough for her expenses on the road. The train required identification card and so did the flight. She was now a woman without an identification card and status. With her appearance, even if she said she was Yan Huan, no one would believe. So, she thought about it. She had to find the bus station here to take the bus back. Perhaps the journey would take longer but this means of transport did not require an identification card.
