Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies-Chapter 8 - : The Ingenious Tactics of Boss Rong

Not only did the team leader and his wife see Rong Yan differently, but so did his family.

Each glance... always sort of labeled Rong Yan as a wicked woman.

Rong Yan was quite composed as she slowly explained, "I know a bit of medical skills; I learned some from a traveling doctor."

Team leader: ...?

He didn't even know what to say. Just learned from a traveling doctor? Was that okay?

"Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

"Before, I never had the chance, did I? Besides, the village had a barefoot doctor; there really wasn't any need for my help. Why would I mention it?"

"Moreover, even if I did say so, people wouldn't believe me. They'd probably think I was making up excuses to be lazy."

The team leader was at a loss for words.

After all, her reasoning made sense. Even if she claimed to know medicine, he wouldn't dare let her try. What if something went wrong? Who would be responsible?

Huang Cuihua didn't care about these things. Whether Qin Ye's leg was lame or not, that was his fate, none of her business.

She smiled again, "Since Qin Ye's leg is injured, you'll have to work hard. I'll give you some eggs, and you can go back early to look after him."

She had four sons, all married, so based on the number of family members, she definitely raised several chickens, all laying eggs.

Saved up about thirty eggs.

"Okay. Oh, Aunt, can I borrow your family's bicycle? I'm planning to go to the hospital to get some more medicine."

It made perfect sense.

Perfect.

Huang Cuihua was reluctant. Their family's bicycle was the only one in the village, very precious.

Lend it to her?

What if it got damaged?

Rong Yan, seeing her expression, secretly scolded her for being stingy.

Luckily, she had a way. She pulled out three milk candies from her pocket, "Aunt, sweeten your mouth with these."

When Huang Cuihua saw the milk candies placed in her palm, her eyes immediately lit up.

She had never tasted milk-flavored candy in her life.

She immediately brightened up and changed her attitude, "The bicycle is in the yard, you can ride it later."

Rong Yan was quite satisfied, "Thank you, Auntie, then please get the eggs for me!"

"Right." Huang Cuihua got a pound of brown sugar for twenty eggs, what a deal. "Wait for me a moment."

When leaving, she didn't forget to take the bag of brown sugar from Rong Yan's hand.

The team leader glanced at Rong Yan, pondering how he had never noticed this girl being so good at socializing before.

Huang Cuihua came back quickly, "Here, these are twenty eggs, count them."

Rong Yan smiled as she took them, "Count, what for? Don't I trust you, Auntie?"

This comment made Huang Cuihua's smile deepen greatly.

Quite pleased with herself.

"The bicycle is in the yard, go ahead and push it away!"

"Ah, okay, goodbye Auntie, goodbye team leader." Rong Yan smiled sweetly, she was pretty and had white teeth.

That smile nearly blinded Huang Cuihua.

After Rong Yan left, she couldn't help but remark, "How come I never noticed this girl was so capable before?"

Team leader: ...

He didn't know either.

"Ah, what a pity, Qin Ye really hit the jackpot." That lucky dog really got away with a huge bargain.

The team leader did agree with his wife on this point.

Indeed, it was just dumb luck. If not for Rong Yan, Qin Ye probably couldn't even have gotten married.

"I'll have to go check on them later."

Huang Cuihua curled her lip, "You can look all you want, but don't take anything from the house. Otherwise, I'll never let it go."

Her home's provisions didn't come from thin air; no one was going to get a bargain off her.

Team leader: "Alright, alright, I won't take anything; just going to look."

Huang Cuihua couldn't deal with him anymore, but she still reminded him, "Just go and have a look, but don't stay too long; you might catch bad luck."

Team leader: ...

When you just took Brown Sugar from their house, you didn't care about bad luck, did you?

***

Qin Mei's porridge was ready, while Qin Yu, with his small arms and legs, was chopping wood in the yard.

Rong Yan, seeing how industrious he was, felt somewhat touched. Indeed, children from poor families had to shoulder responsibilities early.

This kid is really good.

Qin Yu's attention, however, was on the bicycle she was pushing. He stared in amazement.

Rong Yan looked at him and smiled, "What are you waiting for? Take these eggs first."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately put down the axe in his hands.

He dashed over to Rong Yan, taking the small basket of eggs from her.

Although he was intensely curious about the bicycle, he was the quiet type.

Instead, it was Rong Yan who clarified for him, "These are the twenty eggs I exchanged for a kilogram of Brown Sugar from the team leader. Now, let your sister fry three eggs with porridge for you. As for the bicycle, I borrowed it from their family for three pieces of milk candy. I'll go to the town later to buy some medicine for your brother."

Hearing that she had exchanged a kilogram of Brown Sugar for twenty eggs, Qin Yu felt a pang of heartache.

A kilogram of Brown Sugar for just twenty eggs, the team leader's family is too ruthless.

And it cost three pieces of milk candy to borrow a bicycle.

One piece would have been enough.

His heart ached even more.

In this short time, Rong Yan seemed to Qin Yu the type who could easily be deceived.

"Just use one egg for the fried eggs," he said. Their family rarely ate eggs, and they had never been as extravagant as to use three at once like today.

Rong Yan frowned, "No, it must be three. Now go, and after you're done eating, I need to go to the town."

Constrained by her insistence, Qin Yu had no choice but to carry the eggs into the kitchen.

Rong Yan then secured the bicycle before going to supervise.

"Add more oil; I'll buy some later. Maybe we should crack two more eggs..."

Qin Mei/Qin Yu: ...

The siblings exchanged glances and quickly cracked the eggs into the pan to fry them.

Otherwise, their sister-in-law might end up using up the whole basket of eggs.

Rong Yan was amused by the siblings' actions. Alright then, three eggs it is. She'd just get more stuff from the town later.

The fried eggs were quickly ready and served at the Eight Immortals table in the outer hall.

"Serve your brother a bowl of porridge and give him more eggs."

This made Qin Yu and Qin Mei very happy.

It didn't matter if they didn't eat, but their brother definitely needed to eat.

Rong Yan, looking at their small statures, sighed, worrying in case they burned themselves.

"I'll take it to him."

Taking the bowl from Qin Yu's hands, she then went directly to the main house.

Qin Ye, unable to move due to his illness, truly felt miserable.

Unable to do anything.

Just then, the door opened and Rong Yan, backlit by the light, walked in.

"Here, it's time for porridge," Rong Yan approached the bed and saw the person who couldn't move lying there. She finally realized something she had overlooked.

That was, he needed someone to feed him!

This was really a dilemma for her.

Perhaps Qin Ye could see the conflict on her face, knowing what she was thinking.

He lowered his gaze, then quietly spoke, "Just put the bowl here, and call Qin Yu to come in."

Rong Yan, hearing this, rolled her eyes, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll feed you."

She muttered under her breath, "Lucky you, I've never tended to someone else before."

Although spoken softly, the keen-eared Qin Ye still caught her words, his lips curving into a faint smile.

His voice calm, "Then thank you."
