She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 128 Afraid of Being Seen

Sister-in-law also said that after digging out the kudzu roots, you can plant the kudzu vines back in, and they will grow more kudzu roots in the future.

"Sister-in-law, take this for you."

For her?

"Okay, I’ll trade something for it."

What should I trade for it?

Noodles, that’s convenient.

Yun Xiaoxiao, holding two yams, returned to the kitchen and then packed about half a pound of dry noodles for her.

"Here..."

Er Dan was astonished to see the noodles, "Sister-in-law, I can’t take this."

If sister-in-law had not told him there was such food in the mountain, he would never have found it.

"This yam is really good for the stomach, just keep it!"

Yun Xiaoxiao just stuffed the noodles into his hands anyway, thinking she still came out ahead. If she could use these yams to buy some for herself, to stew, she’d be happy. She loved eating yam and pork rib soup.

Next time she went to town, she would buy some ribs to make soup.

"Quickly take it home and hide it; it’s not good if someone sees."

Er Dan, also fearful of being seen, hastened back home after Laosan’s Wife closed the yard gate. He didn’t even dare to knock and quickly went to hide the noodles. If he was careful, he could have several meals from them.

Yun Xiaoxiao bought another three pounds of yams and put them together with the yams Er Dan had brought.

But Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t know that Er Dan, clutching his items as he returned home, was accidentally spotted by his nephew, who later told Er Dan’s Sister-in-law about it.

"From Laosan’s Wife?"

"Mom, I saw Er Dan come out from their house, it must be something good."

Er Dan’s Sister-in-law was somewhat scared of Zhao Laosan; he really threw heavy punches and was not someone to provoke.

Laosan’s Wife, being Educated Youth Yun, received packages and money from her family, and even after getting married and not working in the fields, the team leader and others said nothing.

"Let’s go, take a look." What good stuff could Laosan’s Wife have given to this little brother-in-law that had to be hidden from sight and taken back inside?

The mother and her two sons headed toward Er Dan’s house.

"Eldest, go and check if he’s home."

This Er Dan, always running to the mountains, it’s said he dug up quite a lot of tree roots to bring back. Can these things be eaten?

Farmers don’t recognize these things; many Educated Youths from the village have left, leaving just a few behind.

Now, only a few scattered people in the brigade know about them.

"Mom, he’s gone, not at home."

The place where Er Dan now lived was not only remote but also rather crude. It had a yard gate, but no lock; these things required industrial coupons and were costly, unaffordable to them.

"Search."

The mother and her sons began to search Er Dan’s home.

Suddenly, a little child stopped Da Bao, who was on his way out to play.

"Da Bao, Da Bao, Er Dan’s Sister-in-law and her sons are rummaging through Er Dan’s house?"

"What?" Da Bao, who had snacks in his hand, had won over many of the kids in the brigade.

After running a couple of steps, Da Bao turned back, "I’m going to call my mom..."

So, soon after, Da Bao returned home with a group of kids.

"Mom, Mom..."

Hearing Da Bao’s urgent voice, Yun Xiaoxiao immediately came out.

"What’s wrong?"

"Someone’s stealing stuff at Brother Er Dan’s house?"

What?

Stealing?

Da Bao’s trust in Yun Xiaoxiao’s ability to handle them stemmed from witnessing her take care of Wang Laowu that night.

"Let’s go, take a look."

Before leaving, she still pulled the yard gate closed.

When Yun Xiaoxiao, with a bunch of kids there for the spectacle, arrived at Er Dan’s house, Er Dan’s Sister-in-law and her two kids were still rummaging through his belongings.
