Xiao Yingchun gave a dry laugh and reminded him half-jokingly, “Everyone in the village knows each other, so please don’t mention that I sold things to you.”
“Okay.” Dai Hengxin agreed without hesitation and even explained on his own, “In our line of work, the most important thing is keeping quiet. I won’t pry into things I shouldn’t.”
Xiao Yingchun nodded, still not completely at ease, “Then I can rest easy.”
Seeing that Xiao Yingchun had nothing more to say, Dai Hengxin nodded and said goodbye before leaving.
Now, Xiao Yingchun didn’t even feel like scrolling videos anymore. She just stared blankly at the road.
What about the rest of the silver and gold ingots?
Should she still sell them to Dai Hengxin?
What if someone came asking where those things came from?
What if the police showed up—how would she explain?
She had money in her pocket, but didn’t dare cash it in.
Who could understand this pain, my friends?!
Xiao Yingchun scratched her head.
It wasn’t until Uncle Liang’s delivery truck stopped in front of the convenience store that Xiao Yingchun snapped back to her senses, “Uncle Liang, you’re here…”
“Open the door, I’ll put the stuff in the storeroom for you.” Uncle Liang skillfully backed the truck up, aiming the rear at the storeroom door.
Xiao Yingchun opened the door and let him put the instant noodles and water bottles inside.
After Uncle Liang finished unloading the goods and was waiting for Xiao Yingchun to settle the payment, he wiped his sweat while talking about the latest situation.
“I heard those four families are planning to sue your aunt. They all came yesterday, right? Nothing happened, did it?”
After confirming everything was correct, Xiao Yingchun transferred the money to Uncle Liang.
“What could happen? I explained everything clearly and even showed them the contract. They had nothing more to say.”
Uncle Liang hesitated, but in the end, still said, “Did they say anything about asking you to order from them in the future?”
Xiao Yingchun looked at him in surprise, “How did you know?”
Uncle Liang smiled awkwardly, “Someone told me.”
Xiao Yingchun nodded and didn’t avoid the topic, “We’ve been doing business for years. Of course I’ll come to you first. If you don’t have what I need, then I’ll ask them.”
There’s no reason I can’t even ask around.
After all, there’s no exclusive supply contract.
Uncle Liang nodded, “I understand! I understand.”
He said he understood, but his face still looked a little awkward.
Xiao Yingchun didn’t explain further. She pointed to her phone, “I’ve transferred the payment. If I need anything next time, I’ll give you a call.”
“Alrighty! I’m off, then…”
After Uncle Liang left, Uncle Wu’s liquor was also delivered and stored entirely in the storeroom.
Once everything was ready, Xiao Yingchun checked the time, felt it was about right, then closed the front door, hung up a sign that read “Boss out, call if needed,” and opened the back door.
The time-space supermarket was open again.
Not long after, Fu Chen’an came in, carrying a box of gold ingots.
Meeting Fu Chen’an’s gaze, Xiao Yingchun took the initiative to point to the items she had placed by the back door.
The two flat carts were fully loaded, boxes of instant noodles stacked up, barrels of liquor lined up.
The rest of the goods were placed next to the carts.
Fu Chen’an didn’t take the goods first; instead, he handed over the gold ingots to Xiao Yingchun and confirmed the quantity with her.
Three hundred taels of gold were the payment for this batch of medicine and liquor.
Xiao Yingchun expressed her satisfaction and also told Fu Chen’an, “Don’t give me silver in the future. I only want gold ingots—complete ones, no dents or deformations, and with stamped markings.”
Fu Chen’an readily agreed, “No problem.”
During this round of confiscations, tens of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of taels of gold had been taken from the wealthy households.
It would be enough to buy from the time-space supermarket many more times.
The instant noodles were easy to count. The 2,000 jin of liquor, however, caught him by surprise, “This much liquor—just one bowl per person and it's gone. Could I ask for more?”
Xiao Yingchun didn’t explain. She opened one of the barrels and poured out a little, “Want to try it?”
Fu Chen’an took a sip, and in the next second, his facial expression twisted into a grimace.
The liquor was too strong—he was caught completely off guard.
