Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 191: 

All Sold Out

They didn't even think of bringing back some delicious food. Given the way they treated Murong Qing over there, she could have easily brought something. 

When Mrs. Chen saw her daughter return, she hurriedly asked, "A'Qing, how much did your uncle give you per day?"

Murong Xue then remembered that Murong Qing was already considered a working person. She looked at Murong Qing with complicated eyes.

Why, both being Uncle's nieces, why did Uncle treat Murong Qing so well?

"Cousin said that I'm still young, with little strength. The others who pick vegetables with me are all adults. If they are paid the same, they will definitely complain. So, they gave me only half, fifteen wen per day."

Mrs. Chen angrily said, "What? Only fifteen wen? You're just a few years younger than them, and you're his niece. How can they treat you the same as the others? Normal relatives should give more, right? Why did they give you less? They're too stingy. They're treating their own niece so miserly. Are they still human?"

"Mom, my strength is indeed small. It's not Uncle's fault. Don't say such things about them."

Mrs. Chen's eyes rolled, "A'Qing, how about letting your sister do this job? She's older and stronger, she can definitely earn thirty coins a day."

"No!" Murong Qing knew her mother was biased towards her sister. "Lingran cousin said she only accepts me. If we change, even I won't be accepted."

Mrs. Chen didn't doubt her words. This did sound like something Murong Lingran would say, so she gave up on the idea of changing people.

Murong Xue, seeing that she ultimately gained nothing, went back to her room with a gloomy face.

The next day, those who picked vegetables, those who sold vegetables, and those who reclaimed land all arrived early at the Murong family's vegetable field.

They were all used to farm work, so they naturally knew which vegetables could be picked. Under Mrs. Xia's lead, they rolled up their sleeves and started working.

After an hour, everyone washed the vegetables and loaded them onto carts. Each pair of people began selling the vegetables.

Originally, Murong's family wanted to let them sell on their own, but they didn't know how to drive a horse carriage, so the Murong brothers had to send them. It worked out perfectly, with one person and one cart.

Soon, the carriages from the Ministry of Rites and the Ninth Young Master's mansion also arrived. They paid for the vegetables, loaded them onto the carts, and left.

After they left, Murong Lingran asked the vegetable pickers to join the team reclaiming land.

After all, on the first day, they didn't know the market situation. Now, they picked the vegetables that would be sold in the afternoon. If the morning's vegetables couldn't be sold, they wouldn't be fresh the next day, and the price would drop.

The three brothers initially thought the price was set too high, and they would have plenty of vegetables left at the end of the day. However, they didn't expect that the three carts of vegetables would be sold out in less than half a day.

The three brothers came to Murong Lingran's room with smiles on their faces, handing three bags full of money to their sister. Excitedly, they said, "A'Ran, all sold out."

"Sold out?" Murong Lingran still set the price at twenty wen per catty. She thought it would take a day at least, after all, it was more than half higher than the market price. One cart had several hundred catties of vegetables.

Murong Zong smiled, "Yes, our vegetables are of high quality. Compared to other vendors, it's like heaven and earth. There are more rich people in the capital than I thought. We followed your advice and went directly to Minghua Street. When those people saw our vegetables, even if they were expensive, many people grit their teeth and bought them."

Murong Zong also added, "That's right, some people even bought tens of catties at once. That's why we came back so early."
