1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 553 What do you want to exchange for it?
When Chu Xue left the army, she caught the first bus back to the city in the afternoon. After getting on the bus, she saw that there were no seats, so she sat on the hood of the engine.

However, their luck wasn't great; the car broke down not far from where it had gone, so everyone had to get out and wait.

But this wait lasted for quite a long time.

Many people got impatient and jumped down to the riverbank. Chu Xue didn't want to join the crowd, so he walked along the road for a while, thinking that if the car was fixed later, he could just stop it. After all, he had a ticket, and they couldn't deny it.

If it can't be repaired, he'll just walk back to the city, hoping to get a ride if he can find another car.

However, there aren't many cars on the road these days, so she didn't really have much hope.

While passing through a field, I overheard two people talking in the distance: "Second sister-in-law, have you sold those chicks you hatched yet?"

"Not yet. The authorities have been cracking down hard these past few days, and the black market hasn't been open for several days. I'm really worried that someone from my family might come to visit. It's really worrying."

“You really can’t stay at home all the time. It would be bad if someone found out. I’ll go back and ask around to see if anyone wants chicks.”

"Then you'd better be careful."

Chu Xue looked in the direction of the sound. Although she wasn't close to the two people, her powerful cheat code was too strong.

Even though they lowered their voices, Chuxue still heard them.

Realizing that he was missing these things in his own space, he took a detour to find her: "Hello, Auntie."

The two glanced around before speaking to Chu Xue: "Is there something you need?"

Chu Xue smiled and said, "I wanted to ask you if anyone in the village has chicks to trade?"

The two were quite alert. They glanced at each other to make sure no one else was around. "You want to exchange for chicks?" Chu Xue hummed in agreement. She wanted to say that she would also like ducklings and goslings if they were available, but she didn't dare to say it for fear of scaring them.

"What do you want in exchange?"

Chu Xue took out a few bills from her crossbody bag: "It depends on what they need."

The two exchanged a glance, whispered a few words to each other, and then came back: "How many do you want to exchange?"

She had actually heard their conversation. She coughed lightly and said, "I'm helping my relatives and neighbors. Give me as many as you want. They're worried about the chicks not surviving, so they want to raise a few more just in case."

That's true; losses of chicks are common: "You know the market rates, right? You can't try to lower the price as soon as you see something."

Chu Xue nodded: "We'd better confirm the price first, and we need to make sure the chicks are lively; I don't want any that are wilted."

The woman was eager to sell the chicks, so she quickly assured her, "Don't worry, we definitely won't try to raise the price. The chicks are all top-notch, you can rest assured about that."

Finally, he gestured a number to Chuxue, who felt the price was reasonable, and they agreed on it.

The woman called "Second Sister-in-law" jogged away, while the woman left behind continued her work. Chu Xue walked to a tree not far away and waited for the transaction.

A moment later, the woman returned carrying a basket, looking like a thief, which made Chu Xue laugh.

After finding a secluded spot and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the twelve chicks, the two happily completed the transaction.

The first snow didn't linger there either, quickly leaving the spot with the free wicker basket.

After walking a short distance and finding a secluded spot, and after confirming that it was safe several times, he put the basket and the chicks into his spatial storage.
