He Tianci's face became a little ugly.
"Mom, I've almost spent all the money. I have to attend a literary meeting in a few days. You didn't give me any money, so I can't even go."
After all these years, when has the money been in his hands, when will he get it back?
He Tianci had become accustomed to the large family behind him. Although he was a little afraid of Meng Lan, he subconsciously believed that the whole family should sacrifice everything for him.
Meng Languang looked at He Tianci's face and knew what the traitor was thinking, so he didn't hesitate and rushed to He Tianci's bedside.
Before He Tianci could react, he lifted up his mattress and pulled out a purse from underneath, which contained the remaining money.
The place where He Tianci hid the money was taught by her, why did he come to me and try to make a fool of himself? It's still a bit tender after all.
Meng Lan opened her purse and poured out the remaining copper coins on the table. After counting them, she put them all back. There were still more than five hundred coins left. She cursed in her heart that He Tianci spent his money so fast.
Then Meng Lan ignored He Tianci's eyes and directly pocketed the more than 500 yuan, not forgetting to give He Tianci a roll of his eyes when he turned around.
"From now on, I won't give you a penny. If you want to participate in the Literary Society, you have to figure out your own way. If you can stay in this town, stay here. If you can't stay, go back to the village and follow your elder brother and the others to farm. Okay, You think about it yourself, Yang, let’s go!”
After taking away all the money from He Tianci, Meng Lan also completed the main purpose of the trip. With more than 500 yuan in his pocket, he called Yang and prepared to go home happily.
As for He Tianci's life and death, for such a big man, if he doesn't know how to eat when he's hungry or doesn't know how to run indoors when it rains, there's no need for him to exist.
If he can make money, he will stay in the town. If he can't survive, he will return to the village to farm. If he has no money, he will find a way to survive.
He Tianci watched helplessly as his mother took away all the money she had, like a bandit crossing the border. Even his wife didn't know how to protect herself. He was dumbfounded for a long time.
After Meng Lan and Yang left, he realized what had happened. Not only did his mother not give him any money, she also took away all the money he had!
How to live this day!
He Tianci was so shocked that he sat down on the ground, feeling sad for the more than 500 yuan he had lost, and worried that his good life would come to an end.
After sitting on the ground for a while, He Tianci felt unbearably hungry, and then he got up from the ground, thinking that he had no money to buy food.
He Tianci had no choice but to pick up the half of the roast chicken on the ground, went outside to get a basin of water, rinsed away the ashes on it, and ate it one bite at a time.
Contrary to He Tianci's place, Meng Lan thought that this unfilial son had already spent almost all his money, but he didn't expect that he could still get more than 500 coins. With such a "huge sum", Meng Lan felt extremely excited. .
The heart that was previously chilled by He Tianci's selfishness now warms up again.
Seeing the majesty of her mother-in-law, Yang became even more obedient following Meng Lan.
She only learned about her mother-in-law's thunderous tactics today, thinking that her mother-in-law was really polite to her and didn't slap her in the face.
After a trip to the town, Meng Lan gained more than 500 yuan. She was not in a hurry to go back. Why was she in such a hurry to go back? Are you anxious to go back to eating brown rice, or are you anxious to eat wild vegetables?
Meng Lan was so angry when she recalled the delicious roast chicken that the naughty son ate. She had never eaten a few chickens at her age, let alone roasted chicken!
The more Meng Lan thinks about it, the angrier she becomes. She also wants to eat well, and everyone in the family, except He Tianci, also wants to eat well!
So Yang watched her mother-in-law's face turn red, then turn red, and finally said to her with a blue face.
"You go to the town gate and see if there is a car back. I'll go buy something."
After Meng Lan said that, she left Yang and ran away. After losing sight of her mother-in-law, Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and could finally relax. She was really nervous following her mother-in-law.
Then Yang obediently followed Meng Lan's words and walked to the entrance of the town.
After getting rid of her young daughter-in-law, Meng Lan didn't rush into the supermarket. Instead, she went to buy a large backpack first, and then went into a deserted alley.
After confirming that no one was around and the environment was safe, Meng Lan dove into the supermarket.
Before she could take a closer look, the deafening sound from the supermarket loudspeaker rushed into her ears.
"Good news, good news, today's pork special price in the fresh food section is 10% off~"
"Buy one, get one free in the grain and oil section, for one day only~"
"There are also free gifts for consumption throughout the venue. For every 100 Wen you spend today, you will get 10 eggs~"
Meng Lan's eyes widened when she heard that. As soon as the pork was discounted, she immediately rushed to the fresh food area to look at the price tag. Sure enough, the price written in the price column was extremely surprising: 1 cent per pound.
Pork outside is generally priced at 35 cents per catty. In the supermarket system, it is usually half price, with the price listed at 17 cents per catty (the supermarket automatically erases zeros after the decimal point). After the discount, it is 1.7 cents per catty, and automatically erases zeros after the decimal point. That is 1 penny per pound.
This pork is cheaper than the brown rice that costs 5 cents per pound outside!
Not taking advantage of the bastard, Meng Lan immediately looted all the pork in the fresh food section today and bought a total of 500 kilograms.
Five hundred kilograms is only the upper limit of the supermarket's daily pork supply, not her Menglan's upper limit.
Meng Lan picked out two pig trotters and an elbow, and stored the rest in the supermarket storage space. Time stopped in the storage space. It was simply the best refrigerator in the world. She didn't have to worry about the food spoiling.
After spending 500 Wen, Meng Lan went to the supermarket counter to get 50 eggs. Thinking that there were still a lot of eggs at home, Meng Lan first saved the 50 eggs with the pork.
The 5,210 yuan she had saved at home had already been deposited into the system by Meng Lan, so she didn't have to worry about being hidden at home and stolen by thieves.
After spending more than 500 coins stolen from He Tianci, Meng Lan leisurely shopped in the supermarket.
She bought another barrel of oil, and the system sent another barrel, making a total of two barrels. Then she bought a bag of refined rice and a bag of refined noodles, and the system also gave them one bag each. Then she went to the spice section and bought some spices.
Meng Lan remembered how sick He Lianlian looked before going out, probably because of lack of energy and blood, so she bought another pound of brown sugar from the condiment section.
Finally, Meng Lan walked to the vegetable section and bought a few green and red peppers, two Chinese cabbages, and eight or nine potatoes.
Fortunately, the types of vegetables in the era when she was reading were similar to those in modern times. Basically, these vegetables in the supermarket can be taken out and used directly.
Every household in the village would plant some for food in front of or behind their house. Meng Lan's family also planted some, but they only planted cabbage, and the quantity was not large. So their family usually eats more wild vegetables.
She put the vegetables and pork in the basket, and put in the pound of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper. After storing the other things in the supermarket, she came out of the supermarket.
Meng Lan carried this basket of things on his back and walked quickly towards the entrance of the town.
Although Yang usually likes to be naughty, she still does well in doing things. Meng Lan saw that she had found the car, and there were many people in the car, who were probably on the way.
Mrs. Yang had already occupied a seat for Meng Lan. When she saw Meng Lan coming back, she quickly waved to Meng Lan and motioned for her mother-in-law to sit next to her.
After Meng Lan sat down, Yang noticed the large backpack behind Meng Lan. It was heavy and probably contained a lot of things, but it was covered tightly with a lid so she couldn't see anything.
Yang sat obediently next to Meng Lan, curious in her heart.
After the donkey cart started to leave, she saw that Meng Lan had a good face on the way, and finally couldn't help but asked Meng Lan in a low voice, "Mom, what did you buy?"
