Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 798

Chapter 798: Chapter 672: The Final Transaction

As night fell that day, the exhausted Ping’an washed up and went to bed early, while Zhang Guoqing pulled Zhou Jiao along, and the couple began to head out.

Not far from the He Family’s place, they saw He Laoer waiting for their arrival at the intersection. Upon seeing the couple, this nearly forty-year-old man was absolutely delighted.

"Uncle, why didn’t you wait for us at home? There are quite a few mosquitoes out here."

"I’m thick-skinned, no worries. So, should we head over there now?"

Zhang Guoqing nodded, signaling him to lead the way.

"We’ve got a lot this time, and my brother and I can’t afford to be careless. For safety’s sake, we can’t let a third person get involved. My brother is keeping watch over there now."

Zhang Guoqing was all for it.

"Brother, there’s quite a lot of goods this time, is that okay?"

Zhang Guoqing knew he was worried about whether he had enough money and smiled, "Approximately how much?"

"Over forty thousand. Not a lot of stuff, but all precious goods. We brothers managed to find quite a bit of Old Shan’s ginseng, plus deer sinew and antlers, which cost around twenty thousand. The Heshma Oil and Monkey Head Mushrooms aren’t very expensive, about ten thousand, and the rest are just some scattered rare items. We’ve almost scoured the area within a few hundred miles, there’s no more even if we wanted."

"Uncle, you’ve worked hard."

He Laoer smiled and waved his hand, "We’re making money too, no need for such politeness. This time we asked for more, and my brother got a good deal from a few people. He said not to count by the acquisition station prices but according to the actual prices we brothers bought them at. He has the bill."

Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows in surprise. Was there really such a good deal?

Before he could speak, the other party continued, "My brother said that after this, he’s going to call it quits. Just to celebrate! Anyway, he feels he’s doing right by some oppressed mountain folk, taking it as doing a good deed, and won’t associate with those people anymore."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing chuckled, "Uncle He is right to stop. At least not for a few years, then see opportunities later. There’s never an end to making money, as long as you leave the green hills, you’ll never worry about firewood."

"Brother, you think my brother’s idea is right, don’t you? Actually, we can’t keep taking time off every day. If it weren’t for my uncle being the team leader, we probably wouldn’t have managed.

The kids at home are getting older, they need to marry. Outsiders don’t know, they’d think we’re not doing proper business, and proper families wouldn’t want their daughters to marry in. Alas... no choice. Now even though we’ve got money, we don’t dare attract attention; we must first settle down. Making money is for the kids, and now everything’s for the kids, all the same..."

Under He Laoer’s sighs, the three arrived at a courtyard by the roadside. According to him, this was his brother-in-law’s courtyard in the county town where he worked, now vacant, and borrowed for half a month.

Zhang Guoqing didn’t have to ask more, learning that the brother-in-law worked at the police station, made him nod knowingly.

The humility just expressed was likely just talk; given such connections, there’d be no trouble marrying someone suitable. The He Family probably had high standards for a future daughter-in-law.

He Laoer knocked on the courtyard door and called out for his brother. Given the courtyard’s roadside location at the perimeter, there was no need to worry about drawing attention by calling loudly.

He Laoda opened the door and led them inside, pointing to a pile of goods on the kang in the western room, "Brother, you two check the items first. There are a few things that I didn’t think were costly and just included. Check if you want them, if not, it’s no problem, we can sell them elsewhere."
